About Kel Darkblade

Kélebrindal “Mormakil” Elkirya-na-Surinmorreîa hín-ná Elrindal hín-ná Elannan, ná Koronmänthar
= Silverfoot “Darkblade” (refers to her cold iron ECB) Elkirya-na-Surinmorreîa, child of Starfoot child of Stargift, from Cormanthyr.

PDFs of HeroLab character sheet (main, appendix, spells) plus a reference picture. (The forum avatar is the best that I could do with Paizo's unfortunately limited selection.)

Appearance, Personality, Current Situation:

Appearance:
You see a slightly attractive and very tall elven woman warrior with a severe expression and a fancy breastplate. At her belt is an elven curve blade on one side and a dagger, each in a scabbard. On her back is a small backpack wedged between a bow and what looks like a small bundle of metal rods.

She is probably a Moon elf, although she's not as moon-pale as some. Her raven hair (with blue highlights) is in a braid down her back, ready to be coiled up into her helmet. Her eyes are dark blue.

Personality:
Kel is a proud elven warrior, one who tries to evaluate situations logically and tactically - but she can still be impulsive on occasion. She has learned to be polite to humans and dwarves, but can be condescending towards smaller folk like halflings and gnomes. Her family background has given her a great hatred for orcs and goblinoids (due to family tales of the Scro and their atrocities).

Currently:
Things have become slightly complicated due to her newly-acquired Tongues (Celestial) curse, so Kel is at a loose end and seeking something both useful and lucrative to do. (She has expensive plans for improving her gear.)

History:

Descended from a family of proud elven warriors (actually a clan of stranded Elven Fleet marines), Kel enlisted in the Elven Court's local militia as a young woman and became a strong warrior. She also won several local foot races.

Some years later, struck by wanderlust, she got a job as a guard for a Sembian merchant company which shipped goods across the Sea of Fallen Stars. On a visit to the port of Telflamm in Thesk, she observed some Shou expatriates with interesting weapons and learned how they were crafted. Once back home in Semberholme, she constructed her own "sansetsukon" carefully, adding her own elven flourishes (and using a good chunk of her earnings).

During this crafting period back home, Kel underwent inititation into a mystery cult which worships Corellon's artisan/crafting aspect (a splinter sect considered unorthodox by standard Torillian elven beliefs). (This is to cover any discrepancies due to my using a homebrew variant of the elven pantheon.) Something happened during that initiation which caused Kel to suffer the curse of tongues - but she can't remember just what. [GM may use this as a plot hook.]
