Maitherki Ansravain Caelvanavin
Lively, cheerful, cautious, wary, loyal, determined, compassionate, hopeful, occasionally dishonest and/or deceptive.
Often appears cheerful even when feeling like shit, but can be serious when the situation calls for it and he's not just trying to relieve tension. Very social, though has learned how to handle himself when mostly alone, due to being forced to survive in the wilderness most of his life.
Naturally very family-oriented, which was backed up by the culture he grew up in throughout most of his childhood and adolescence, but this has been putting strain on him for a long time since his banishment, causing him to cling to his sole family member that still speaks with him.
Without family close by or easily contactable, he's come to rely on just about anyone else he could at least consider friends, desperately needing the emotional connections for his own mental stability. This makes him feel guilty, however, for he doesn't like feeling like he's using people he cares about.
Internal turmoil aside, Maitherki is also very alert, even when relaxed, and is far more experienced than his usual mannerisms imply. He often acts like a fool, and can even be very annoying, though some may also find him amusing instead.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Toned and slightly bulky. Always moves with a very fluid, feline grace, and seems almost as if he is one with the world around him.
Body Features
Brown skin with a golden undertone. He smells of the forest - moss, leaves, bark, and earth.
Identifying Characteristics
Maitherki has a long scar that goes from the right side of his forehead, to just below his left eye - this is an old scar from a scuffle where his opponent had decided to try carving his face up. Another scar is a square exile marking just over his left jugular, treated and cursed to never properly fade away, and will hurt him if he goes too close to certain areas.
His skin is also covered in brown, vinelike tattoos, each one with its own meaning. This is fullbody, including his face.
Special abilities
He's a psionic hole. And also a ranger, thus he has access to some nature magic.
Apparel & Accessories
Often wears greens and browns, sometimes deep purples as well. Always wears his leather armour unless he feels safe in his surroundings.
Specialized Equipment
Composite recurve bow with a strong draw weight, steel rapier, mythril dagger.

Personal history
The story of the exile marking: It's still semi-undefined, but what essentially happened was that he was half-framed, half-deceived into committing a major crime by his older brother, though he was oblivious to the manipulation. The exiling process for a wood elf is very painful, as it's meant to be a punishment worse than death, and most exiles actually do deserve it - Maitherki just fell through the cracks.
Every part of his skin that was tattooed was cut off, and a herbal salve was applied to ensure no scarring, to 'disown' him from the clan and make it appear as if he had never been part of one. His family members then had the tattoos that signified his relation to them on their own bodies cut off, and allowed it to scar as a reminder that disowning family is never something to be done lightly.
Then once the injuries were healed, Maitherki was branded with a red-hot iron, and given nothing to help the healing of or prevent infection in the burn injury, for by that point whether an exile lives or dies is of no import to the clan. The brand injury was then soaked with a very painful mixture of alchemical, magical, and psionic nature, putting a trifold curse on it to ensure it never faded properly, given the long lifespans of elves, and that it would re-burn itself into his flesh should he ever go near clan lands or unwilling family members.
During this, his entire family was expected to snap their eriant bonds with him, disowning him from the family. The pain of such being to punish the exile and to again remind the family, and by proxy the rest of the clan, that disownment is a last resort. Maitherki's brother, Naalieth, didn't break the bond, however, instead making himself Maith's sole pillar of support, and therefore drastically increasing Maitherki's dependence on him.
Afterwards, Maith was sent far from clan lands, and left to survive or die on his own. He was ninety at the time, about the equivalent of sixteen to seventeen. At some later point, he had most of his tattoos re-tattooed onto his skin, something that would earn him his death if he came to his clan again, but Maitherki was too desperate for something to reassure him.
He's been surviving mostly on his own, with infrequent and scattered interactions with his brother for this or that thing, for about a hundred and fifty-five years.
