Physical Appearance:

Kaven is just a small amount over average height for a Drow. He is built like a light to medium weight boxer; Kaven is strong and would lose out on speed but for his training in all aspects of his body. He has a long scar traveling from an inch above his eye down to his cheek. Kaven wears dark clothing, a cotton long sleeved shirt and trousers, these make it easy for him to move around unseen in the dark, and he wears a huge, flowing black hooded cloaks on top of his clothes to hide his appearance during the day. One feature often noted is when a room his dark enough all you can see of him is two bright red eyes laced with anger. Kaven will never be seen without his sword safely strapped to his back underneath his cloak, and his pouch of throwing stars around his waist.

History:

Kaven grew up without any parents, at first he grew up with guardians whom clearly cared nothing for him. This left Kaven a bitter and angry child. He was bullied as a child for having no parents and so in response Kaven spent his entire childhood from the age of 7 onwards, even now devoting himself to training and extending his physical limits and magical powers. At the age of ten Kaven discovered his parents had been killed by his guardians and in a fit of rage took up the only thing left of his fathers in the house, his sword and brutally killed his guardians in their sleep.

After this Kaven fled the village and discarded his last name to avoid recognition and almost died in the wild through lack of food and constant wild animal attacks. Luckily he was found by a wandering Elf. The Elf took him as his apprentice and trained him in the art of close combat, including hand to hand and sword fighting and throwing stars found him. All through this Kaven also kept trying to develop his magical powers. At the age of twenty five Kaven and his master took on a mercenary mission to retrieve and gang of robbers, the mission was a success but his master was killed and Kaven became a wanderer, living in the wild. Kaven stopped off at villages only to take on a few missions and to replenish his herbs and throwing stars. He became well known for his ruthless way of dealing with targets and received his scar in one battle where he ended up severing the mans head from his body on a mission where he was told to bring him back alive.

Powers:

During his time living in the wild Kaven became harmonized with nature and learnt how to call animals to him in times of need. Kaven began doing this without realizing when he was being attacked. In the time of great danger he sent out cries for help to other animals. After Kaven realized this he began to try to develop it so that he could use it at will, he has learnt to call small animals around him, proving useful in distracting enemy's.

Controlling shadows: Kaven spends most of his life in the shadows, he sleeps during the day and moves during the night to remain undetected and because of this he has begun to develop shadow manipulation. Kaven can control the shape of shadows

Shape Shifting: After Kaven realized his ability to call forth animals, realizing he had a link with nature he began to study animals, slowly developing an ability to shape shift his nails into longer, sharper claws.

Kaven is exceptionally good at throwing stars, hand to hand and sword combat.

Weakness:

Although Kaven has learnt to bring fourth smaller animals at will, he still cannot control large animals. To control these large animals Kaven needs to be able to bring fourth the emotions felt in fatal situations, as he cannot do this larger animals will only come in those fatal situations when the emotions are already there. Kaven cannot create shadows, only manipulate their shape, also he cannot use them for physical harm, only to change the shape the make on the floor. He does not have much talent with shape shifting and can only shift his nails to claws, with even this putting a strain on him and because of this he tends to use it as a last resort, also using this shifting ability means he cannot get a good firm grip on his swords and it is hard for him to get throwing stars out of his pouch.

Equipment:

1) One long black hooded cloak.
2) One long steel Katana strapped to his back.
3) A pouch around his waist containing throwing stars.
4) A small sack carried over his shoulder with various herbs useful in aiding healing
5) A small hunting knife strapped to his thigh.
