Callias Thaig Character in Aden | World Anvil

Callias Thaig

Callias Thaig

At first glance, Callias looks like your typical high elf. Standing at about 5'6" with sharp, angled features most would expect her to be just that. But Callias does not possess the same haughty air of some elves, instead she possesses an eerie beauty about her, a subtly shown often in the odd way her eyes sometimes catch the light.   Callias carries herself like a warrior who has seen many battles, a hand on the hilt of a blade, or around the medallion that hangs about her neck. She wears a bright smile and kind eyes over closely guarded walls, a defensiveness of one who has seen much. Her scars only add to her battle-worn appearance, with a scarred cheek and burn scars that curl up the back of her neck from beneath her armour, among many others. It is unclear what caused the scars, or if she would even say if you asked.   While her past and where she truly came from remains a mystery, Callias seems loyal to those she considers allies. Perhaps, that is enough for now...

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Callias has a lithe but muscular build, standard of most elves. She has warm ivory skin with freckles and scars scattered across it. She has long, curly red hair that she wears up in braids, cut short at the sides.

Body Features

Callias has many scars from her journeys before arriving on Ysgard, the most notable of which being a long curved scar along her cheekbone, and a large area of burn scars across her upper back.

Special abilities

While skilled with a bow and shortswords, Callias has also shown the abilities of a druid and while she has much to learn in that aspect, she often appears in the form of a large wolf or snow leopard.

Apparel & Accessories

Despite her worn appearance, she keeps herself up-kept, wearing her hair up, showing off her long elven ears adorned with silver earrings of various styles. Her armour is simple, a black leather chest plate with matching bracers and boots, with a simple high-collared, wide sleeved tunic, and deep brown trousers. Her quiver and bow are worn on her back, while her two swords sit on her right hip.

Mental characteristics

Education

Despite growing up in the outskirts of a large city, Callias never had any formal education, learning much of what she knows from mentors or her parents. Callias learned from the world and people around her, along with personal experiences.

Employment

Before coming to Ysgard, Callias was employed by a mercenary band called The Wolves Teeth, led by a half-orc man named Nimue. This band worked for various cities and towns across The Blue Star Empire, though Callias is the last known living member of the group.

Mental Trauma

Callias has witnessed much, though she speaks very little about the details of her past, the guarded look in her eyes and her various scars say much.

Intellectual Characteristics

Callias is extremely observant, her eyes often darting around her surroundings as she takes in as much information as she can. She is a curious mind, though she is more cautious then some of her companions. She is clever, but often struggles with articulating her thoughts.

Morality & Philosophy

While guarded, Callias is extremely loyal to those who have gained her trust, perhaps to a fault even. She is fiercely protective of those who cant protect themselves, and even fiercer when she see's others making the same mistakes that she has.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Callias wishes to better herself in any way that she can, to finally grow and accept the consequences of her past actions, and to make up for the lives lost for her mistakes.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

While Callias is skilled in combat, her people skills could use some work. She is not the best at communicating, and has much bottled anger that she has a tendency to hide from those around her.

Social

Family Ties

Callias' father still lives in Astera in her childhood home, while her sister lives in Teitanga's capital as a cleric. Her mother's location is unknown, but she is known to still be alive.

Social Aptitude

While eager to help and to please, Callias tries her best to give advice and comfort where she can. Though she often stumbles around in conversation and is often useless talking wise in negotiations, she means well.

Mannerisms

Callias is outwardly friendly to her companions, joking where she can. To those she doesn't know however, her guarded steely mannerisms that she hides under her friendly nature become the forefront.

Speech

While she is not the most charismatic, Callias is well-spoken and intelligent, and her way of speaking reflects that in casual conversation. Though she has been shown to be fiercely defensive at times.

Wielding a bow with deadly precision, Callias carries herself with the confidence of a warrior who has seen much. She is quiet, and she seems to always be closely observing her surroundings.
