This was the first character I ever created for D&D, the first time I joined my friends and played the game.
Málion, born to a couple of ice mages forming part of a tribe of
nomadic elves, grew up to appreciate nature and to care for it, but also
capable of surviving it even if alone. The tribe's history fraught with magical
battles and gruesome deaths, led his family to move away from the rest of the
elven mages to seek shelter in the forests. Finding himself face to face with
innumerable dangers within the forests, Málion learned to hunt wild animals for
food, leather and fur, tracking them for hours, laying traps and shooting
arrows at his prey. His preferred method for hunting is archery, securing a
kill from miles away. He also developed heightened mobility skills in rough
terrain, together with a keen eye, prone to rapidly spot prey and hunter alike.
Although his parents tried to shelter their son from magic, as it
was the source of all the mishaps they endured while living with the tribe, Málion
discovered that the little he had already learned could be highly useful for
his everyday hunting duties. He used the power to manipulate ice to create
arrows out of thin air, creating an endless supply. These arrows also freeze
the area they hit, be it land or animal, making it easier to track larger
animals such as bears.
As he grew up, he decided to leave his family to go and live in a
city, however, he soon found out why the tribe his parents used to live with
was primarily made up of mages. Magic was frowned upon in every city in the
area; and once people noticed that Málion used magic, he was immediately cast
out. Returning to the forests, he could not find his parents again, assuming
that they had moved to somewhere new to find better conditions, or worse, he
decided to adopt the nomadic lifestyle and move around the forests according to
the climate and hunting possibilities.
As he reached adulthood, he had mastered most of the ice techniques known to elves, turning to other elements to challenge himself. He learned how to create arrows out of rock, losing the properties of the ice element, but gaining a sharper tip, penetrating even the thickest of skins.
I could not find an image of a male archer using ice arrows, so this was the image I gave the rest of the group for the to get an idea of 'who I am'.
