Name: Drizzt Do’ Urden
Age: 150
Race: Drow or dark elf whichever you prefer
Occupation: Ranger, guard, any goodly occupation.
Personality: Drizzt is a noble elf, despite his dark lineage. Forsaking
his homeland at an early age, he has made his way to the surface to follow the
call of his heart, whatever that might be. He lives life as much as possible,
preferring the more exciting path to that which most elves travel, the careful,
thoughtful one. He has suffered many an odd glance because of the color of his
skin but is one of the most goodly elves you would ever meet. With a strong
sense of right and wrong, he defends what he thinks is right to a high degree.
Features: He has ebony skin and almost shockingly silver hair, still full
with his relative youthfulness. He is slim, like most elves, but that frame
hides a deceptive warrior strength within him. Strength honed from his training
and the years of survival in the ruthless underdark. He is usually seen wearing
a piwafawi, or Drow cloak. It allows him to blend in with almost any environment
around him, if he so chooses. Usually though it seems like an unremarkable black
cloak, with his hood up constantly to shield the color of his skin. Without his
cloak, he is usually wearing a normal tunic, with a long sleeved undershirt and
plain pants, with his scimitars on his belt. He has another belt around his
waist that holds two small dagger sheaths and a few pouches. In one of these
pouches, he holds Guenhwyvar. The small figurine was sculpted in the likeness of
a great hunting cat, crafted with extreme detail. The owner of the statue can
call forth a great panther, known as Guenhwyvar. The panther is six hundred
pounds of sleek black muscle, and can do incredible damage to her enemies.
Usually though, she is tame as a kitten, and acts like a regular housecat.
History: Growing up in the Drow city of Menzoberranzan, Drizzt came to
realize at an early age that the place was wrong. It assaulted all his
sensibilities, which he kept even through the brainwashing teachings of his
teachers at the academy. He didn’t hate the surface elves, as he was supposed
to. Or any of the other races that pushed his people into the depths of the
earth, according to his teacher, and he knew the way his people lived was wrong.
His father, Zaknafein, had similar beliefs , and did not want to see his son
turn out the way the other Drow did. When his mother killed his father, Drizzt
decided to leave the wretched city for good. After acquiring Geunwhyvar from a
Drow wizard who tried to kill him, Drizzt set out on his own, into the hostile
underdark.
He survived by becoming the Hunter, a primal, basic being that’s sole purpose
was to survive. Living in such hostile environments, he needed to in order to
live. He lived in a small underground cave, more like a room, and herded rothe,
an underdark form of cattle. After a while though, he began to grow tired of his
existence like this. He eventually broke down and went to a nearby gnome city.
He was about to be condemned to death when a handless gnome named Belwar
recognized the rogue Drow. Drizzt had spared him from death at the hands of his
brother Dinin. Belwar was spared, but his hands were not. Although he had been
fitted with fine replacements, a pickax and a hammer, that were crafted from
mithril. After a brief stay in the gnomish city, Drizzt set out for the surface.
He had a hard time fitting in at first, and the blazing sun stung his sensitive
eyes that had adapted to lightless caverns. He lived on the surface mainly by
himself, since no surface dwelling race would accept a Drow. That was, until he
met Montolio.
Montolio DeBrouchee was a blind ranger, a man so intune with animals that he
could even understand what they were saying. He used his owl, Hoot to fight
against the orcs that lived in the region. Hoot would fly behind intended
targets, give a hoot, and Montolio would pick them off with his bow. With the
help of his owl, he was the best shot in the region. Not bad considering he was
blind. It was Montolio that taught Drizzt to speak the common tongue, and
tutored him in becoming a ranger. After Montolio died, Drizzt went on his way,
with many adventures and many stories to tell, you will have to ask him for the
rest.
