Maeral Half-elven
Sex: Male
Age: 1536
Height: 1.98 meters
Physical Appearance:Black eyes and silver white hair, Maeral`s face is smooth and unharmed. But for his reputation, he would be considered one of the younger elves, instead a man of age, as he is. He is tall and fit. He wears a full body, elven made, armor. Perhaps the most distinctive thing about him is that he is left handed and there are near to no markings on his equipment, which is quite unlikely for an elf. In fact the only marking is of some branches on his armor, which are displayed in between his chest and stomach. Their meaning is unknown.
Personality:He is as strong on the inside as he is on the outside. A man who leads through words, example, but most of all discipline. Having been raised as an orphen he never felt the comfort of a motherly hug, or a father`s encouraging words. Instead he was taught how to be strict with himself and require it of those around him. He expresses his emotions and is always honest, just like a true warrior should be.
Biography:Having been born in the year of 1405 of the third age, he was only five years old when the siege of Carn Dûm took place. Unfortunately for the young Maeral both of his parents were in the elven army, both of them were called to duty and even worse, both of them fell dead during the siege. He was raised along with a few other war orphens. Even though there were elves who took care of them, they still learned to look out for each other, work together, be disciplined, put the need of the group prior to personal needs and most importantly, they learned to be honest and valiant.
When old enough, he joined the elven armed forces, along with the other orphens. Each of them chose a different specialisation, but they kept in touch, as they had grown a strong bond between each other. Maeral went down the path of becoming a rider of Rivindell, wielding an elven sword and rigind a white horse.
Bad luck struck his life again, as his childhood friends fell in battle one by one. Eventually he was the only one left. He tried not to grow too attached to anyone, which made him a fine, disciplined leader. He quickly gained the rank of thano and was renowned for his victories. After many years of scouting and protecting the leven boarders without returning home, he was finally called in by Elrond himself.
Maeral, having been away from elven cities for a long time, decided it was time to leave his dark past behind his back and move on. He met with the king, as well as his beautiful daughter, Allynna. The renowed thano was ordered to take at least an year off duty for his good service. It was clear that the king was worried about him.
The years was 2899 and Maeral had to spend a year within the walls of Rivindell. The first few days felt like prison, but in time he grew closer to Allynna, who made his days more cheerful. Needless to say they fell in love and married, with the blessing of the girl`s father and brothers all the same. In the year 2900, their daughter was born.
Maeral kept away from the battlefield in the following years. He undertook guard duty in the city of Rivindell, staying close to his family and new friends. He was elated to be the replacement of Elrond, who took part in the siege of Erebor, where he died. After the siege, Maeral was asked to return to duty by the new king, Elion. The captain of the guard accepted, as he knew that the elven forces required a good leader in dark times like this and their king required a good general.
