Backstory:
When Variel Telrunya was born during the year 945AL it was a shocking surprise for his parents to find that he had a rare skin tone dark brown skin that was of a great contrast to the elves common pale skin tone and was seen as strange by the Elven community of his city, Eldywes. During the course of his adolescent life, Variel was laughed at, bullied and forsaken by his family as he was seen to bring shame upon their house. In the Eyes of his parents, he would never be good enough and was always a disappointment and burden.

Since Variel had always been bullied by the other elves of his community throughout his life for being very different from the rest of them. Because of this, Variel did not have any friends and was not very good at socialising with others because of this. On one particularly bad day Variel ran into Faunra Tinehtele, a female elf about the same age as Variel. For some reason, Variel had had the feeling that Faunra did not despise him like the other elves in Eldywes. From that day onward Faunra and Variel met in secret so other elves would not find out about their relationship, as they knew they would be separated from each other if they did.

Upon reaching adulthood, Variel's parents decided that Variel could no longer stay with them and they exiled him from the city. Faunra wished to come with Variel on the ship to another city, but Variel would not allow her to come with him, as she would dishonour her family and become just as hated as he was. As Faunra's love was very strong, Variel could not convince her to stay at Eldywes with her family. So there they went, Variel and Faunra boarded the ship.

After days of calm waters they were caught in a massive typhoon. After 2 days of being hammered by the storm, the ship finally sank, while the ship sunk, Variel lost sight of his lover, he quickly grabbed onto the piece of debris from the ship to stay afloat and continue to search for Faunra during the confusion of the wreckage. After hours of diving under the water and searching for Faunra, he was tired out and he went back to his large piece of debris that he could float on. For days Variel floated on the piece of the ship, starving, lementing his loss of his loved one and feeling full of
regret that he could not convince Faunra to stay behind in Eldywes. After a few days being in a depressed state, Variel searched the wreckage of the ship and found his weapons, a small bag of gold pieces and some basic equipment. After more days afloat on the piece of ship hull, Variel finally spotted land off into the distance. Luckily when Variel landed on the shore, he could see a town in the far off distance. He then entered the city and spent the night at the small tavern.

As he was exiled from his home, the city of Eldywes, he could not go home, so he decided he would travel around the kingdom in hopes of finding a more satisfying life. He continued to travel and he has found his way to the town of Ivis and is now sitting in the the dark corner of the local tavern.

Since I can't draw very well, I decided to make this skin of my character to represent what he might look like.
This is also my first 1.8 skin.
