Description:
Talon is about 5'10", 155 lb.. Athletically built. He has short black
hair, which often reminds people of human army haircuts. His face is
weathered and sunken, making him appear rough and tired. He has a short
scar down his right cheek, starting just below the eye and ending before
the chin. He has pale greenish tinted skin and yellow eyes. On a leather
string around his neck hangs fearsome Manticore talons. He wears black,
hardened Manticore hide and a large brown cloak.

Background:
A baby elf was found in the middle of the road in some backwater
village. Luckily enough the local hunter had stumbled upon him while
traveling home and had brought him back. He raised the some elf as his
own, as the man had no family. As a young boy the elf had experienced
much discrimination and racism, being the only elf in a small human
village. 

The hunter had raised the elf in his experienced lifestyle as a hunter.
One gruesome night the two were exploring a cave when a fearsome
Manticore had attacked them. The elf killed the Manticore, but the
Manticore had claimed the life of his father. In remembrance of the only
father he knew he skinned the Manticore and tore it's deadly talons from
it's paws.

When he had returned home the townspeople had blamed him for the death
of his father, saying that if he never came then the hunter would never
have ventured so far into the cave alone. He was banished from the town,
never to return. Giving himself the nickname of 'Talon' from the talons
that hang around his neck, he has traveled around the continent looking
to hone his skills and to find any trace of his biological parents. He
has come to the Lost City for two reasons. This is the only city where
elves and humans live alike, he hopes to find some information about his
parents. He has also come for the fighting arena... he wants to do what
he did for his whole life. Hunt prey.
