Identifying Characteristics
Appearance
Abrash is fair skinned 19 year old wood elf with freckles and shocking white hair. When he assumes a stary form, or is exposed to moonlight, the freckles light up the same color as his piercing eclectic blue eyes. He wears colorful earth tone clothing with white and stary blue accents. The shaw that covers his neck has a giant poisonous snake cowled hood. His bare chest is exposed but he has an ornate wide leather belt with constellations engraved on it. His pants are extremely loose fitting and billow in the wind, along with the various tassiles and sling bags attached to his clothing. He has several ear piercings and carries an ebony wood staff with silver inlay. Wrapped around his arms is a long leaf-like plant that takes different shapes, such as a sword or shield. This plant bends to the will of Abrash. Slung from a string of this crooked staff is an hourglass with blue sand that acts as his star map and spell focus, given to him by his parents. Instead of a backpack, Abrash has several different hidden pouches in his shaw and pants as well as various sling bags. Some of these slings are full of dirt and have live plants growing within them or cascading over the sides. He wears no shoes but has a pair of sandals strapped to the outside of one of the sling bags. Although his look seems a bit disheveled and chaotic it seems to work well for him and you can’t help but think he looks very comfortable.

Personal history
Backstory
Abrash lived in the once garden city of Pazar with his brother. The garden city is known as the Oasis of the White Palm. This Oasis resides in the Raurin desert. (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Raurin).
Several hundred years ago the last pharaoh of the land cursed the people and the river dried up. The oasis started to wither away. The people started to leave as a result. But the gardener druids of the oasis, the ones responsible for maintaining the land, vowed to stay until they could return the garden city to its former majesty. Those druids were Abrash’s mother and father. They had a son, Nathan’s PC, and several years later they had a son, Abrash. They stayed true to their word and remained until they needed to leave and try to find how to lift the curse to regrow the garden city.
The garden city is not what it once was, however, due to the efforts of Abrash’s parents and his older brother, the oasis remains. There is water and plant life thrives, but only in a small area. The rest of the garden city is in total ruin, swallowed by the sands of time.
Traveling merchants, often sand elves from the south, would sometimes get lost in the desert. Every now and then Abrash would find them, dehydrated and nearly dead in the sand. When this happened he would take the lost person back to their oasis and nurse them back to health. During the recovery time he and his brother would teach how to read the stars for directions to get back home and the importance of traveling at night when the sun is down.
One day, one such saved merchant told the siblings about the sword coast and how they might find an answer of how to end the curse there. The siblings discussed and decided after much debate that someone needed to stay behind to tend to the oasis and Abrash volunteered. The next night Nathan’s PC went to Candle Ceep more than 4,000 miles away, to get some schooling and try and solve this mystery.
