Description:
Quariel's most striking feature is his eyes, the large pupils a deep blue which evokes a pool of water. He wears a simple, loose tunic in a matching blue and plain leather pants--clothes practical for ship life. These clothes do not conceal his slight form--even for an elf, Quariel is light, weighing merely 115 pounds despite being nearly six feet tall. A variety of pouches, bandoleers, and interior pockets hold all of his possessions, most notably his two spellbooks. Though he rarely has need of it, his clan spear is never far from his hand.
Quariel has been a great many places in his life, and there are few things he doesn't have at least a passing knowledge of. More than anything, though, he loves life on the water; normally somewhat reserved, he is lively and energetic when given the opportunity to swim or to sail.
As can be seen in his magic, Quariel has a powerful affinity for water, and his travels are a dual effort to experience as many waterways of the world as he can and to seek out and study all kinds of water magic.
Backstory:
Quariel grew up in the seclusion of Kyonin, born to a small riverside clan. His childhood was spent in the water as often as out, and when he was apprenticed to the clan's wizard, he showed remarkable affinity with water magic. The majority of his spells utilize ice or water to achieve their intended effect, whether that effect is sealing a doorway, knocking a target over, or forcing someone to drop their weapon. This affinity was even more apparent when he called his familiar; he bonded with a black river rat who he calls Reeds.
What began as a talent has become the focus of Quariel's studies. Upon completion of his training in the ways of the wizard, he departed Kyonin, the better to research the ways other races and cultures utilize the power of elemental water. His master's parting gift to him was a handmade spellbook with a water rune blazoned on the cover; Quariel records only his favorite spells in this book, keeping others on a variety of ancillary notebooks and scraps of paper. His other signature possession is a unique two-pronged spear used by his clan, a gift from his mother to see him safely through his travels.
Quariel has traveled the northern Inner Sea regions for nearly a decade, acquiring a wealth of experiences and insight into his research. He first traveled south, to the deserts of Qadira, where he harnessed the power of steam. More recently he visited northern lands and augmented his water magic with ice. Most recently he has joined the crew of the Jenivere, a merchant vessel which travels up and down the western coasts, in order to earn passage to distant Sargava, where he hopes to gain new insights into the harnessing of elemental water. While he could have paid for passage, he found the prospect of assisting in the sailing of the ship more appealing and has picked it up quite quickly.
