Elutian is an Elf often seen in Ferrell and T'Nanshi working, whether it be creating weapons, bows or clothing.
Appearance and personality
Elutian is friendly, even slightly silly at times. Always willing to help if he can, even if somewhat unsure of his abilities. He is quick to laugh, and always has a smile for everyone he meets. Those who know him well, know there is more going on behind that smile however.
When relaxed, or during social encounters, Elutian is light hearted, seemingly without a care in the world. When things become serious, or a friend is in trouble, he will instantly become intense, and very serious, dedicated to the task at hand, giving away his truly serious nature. He takes friendships very carefully, trusting few, however, he is very loyal to his small circle of friends and would willingly take a blade or arrow for any of them.Early life
After his escape, Elutian traveled from town to town, doing odd jobs, thieving, doing whatever he could to survive. Along the way, he met with several bands of adventurers of all types and acquired a beautiful Elven Longbow, which he still carries. He also learned to use it well, and was taught where to hit an enemy to cause the most pain and incapacitate them quickest. This, combined with his skills of hiding and being "unseen",as well as his prowess with locks and traps, made him a formidable foe and a highly sought after trapper and locksmith among the bandit gangs. This is how he came to be called "Elutian", a stylized version of "The Eluder", as the gangs came to know him. Even his closest friends may not realize that's not his real name. He spent many years "working" the roads and pathways of Negaria, then, one day, decided to change his ways a bit. He wanted to see the cities....have a home, maybe a wife? He went to Elysia, met a few people and started on his way to that goal.
Current
Over the last few years he has befriended some people who helped to shape his life. Tessa Tangletoe, his closest ally and friend, a Fegallian halfling. Together they go on "adventures" where they find new components to make things with or new foes to battle with. Rain Merstin, a Duid halfling, she and Tess are very close friends, and Lute has taken a liking to her as well. Eleanor, of the Warrior Maidens. Lute looks up to El, she almost treats him like her own child, teaching as well as chastising him. He trusts her, and her judgement. Davilia Chert, of Le'Nofaythen and ROTE. Davi was the first person to ever offer Elutian a position gained solely by trust. She offered him a position at ROTE, where he now works alongside Tess. This touched him more deeply that he has ever told anyone. He has since become quite the weaponsmith, blacksmith, tailor, and carpenter. It was Davi's influence that led him to have a better understanding of nature and the world around him. She also taught him to use swords, and not just one sword, but two at the same time. He is still working on this style, but is getting quite good.
More recently, he has found the shield and rapier to be a workable solution for him. He has fashioned his rapier to be thicker in the blade than normal, allowing him to wield it similar to the short swords he was accustomed to. His fighting style is.... to say the least...that of a bandit. He will put to use any trick he knows, or any advantage he can press into service. He has taught himself to use any magic wand he comes across and many arcane scrolls to aid him in battle. His favorite tactic is still to creep up to an enemy, undetected, and strike out, crippling them so they cannot fight back, then finishing them off. If needed, he can lay a network of handmade traps and lure enemies through it, likely followed by one of his characteristic chuckles.
Elutian has made many friends along the way, too numerous to mention all of them here. He was recently inducted into FEAT, which he is very proud to be a member of. He feels that it is his duty to help defend Ferrell if he can and does so willingly. Elutian is a strong protector of his friends, and will never leave someone when they are down, instead putting himself in jeopardy to help get them away from whatever danger is present.
Though most of his deeds are not the stuff of a hero, he did answer the call to Southill in M'Chek to save the town from undead, for which he received a Medal, that he has clipped to the inside of his cloak at all times.
Several months ago, Elutian found the world just too.... well... something. He tried to retire from adventuring and settle down. He got bored, so he came back to ROTE, and is taking up adventuring once more.
