His triceps are noticeably sculpted though.

He has a loose, long-sleeved white shirt kept tucked in, and a pair of thick, fingerless soft-leather gloves. Over this is his armor, which consists of an iron 8-in-1 pattern chainmail vest, a pair of iron Imperial guardsman's vambraces that cover up his entire forearms, and a pair of elaborately-engraved shinguards which he most likely took from his family's estate. Atop his head is a Brodie-style iron helmet.
Weapon(s): His weapon of choice is the Sutoshan shard spear. Each family member of the Sutoshan family is given a shard of meteor metal when he/she becomes old enough to hold land. Alaveran fashioned his piece into a finely made voulge-guisarme with a 6-foot shaft of green-stained hardwood.

Character History\Biography: Alaveran Sutosh was born into the Tribe of Sutosh, a human Easterner minor noble family. Growing up without much difficulty, Alaveran spent most of his time reading, being tutored, and partying with the other nobleman's children. However, he was always a bit distant from the other noble's children; he had an outwardly caring heart, and concern for immediate needs. This was opposed to the thoughts of the typical Easterner nobleman, who was normally concerned for the future of his domain, and ensuring personal wealth. This was evident when Alaveran passed by the beggar families in the streets, to whom he always passed a gold coin to those who were truly desperate. As time went by, Alaveran came of age, and he became a land-owning nobleman with full responsibilities and power befitting his family's minor status. One day, he found through a trusted source that a neighboring noble was paying large amounts of coin for the capture of any kitsune in nearby lands. Information also came up that this noble was also a slave-owner, an act that Alaveran vehemently opposed. Uncaring for the local law, Alaveran raised a small, untrained, but well-equipped militia to attack the noble's estate. Despite his lack of military experience, Alaveran launched the attack himself during broad daylight. During the attack, he freed a number slaves, most of whom were easterners and crocodile beastmen. However, Alaveran also let the noble and his family go out of mercy, an act which cost him dearly. During the night, while he and his militia were tending to the feeding and treatment of the slaves, the noble he had freed launched a counter-attack with government soldiers to recapture his estate. Alaveran was warned of this early by, of all things, a kitsune. She also thanked him for his kindness, and encouraged him to escape with his life and his men's lives still intact. But he refused to leave the estate until the noble his pike. The militia was steadfast, and a small number of slaves refused to leave their savior's side. The battle was fierce, with many brave, but reckless militia falling at the hands of the well trained soldiers of the noble. Alaveran eventually found the noble watching the battle from afar, and ordered a volley of arrows on his position, killing the noble once and for all. The estate was about to be overrun, however, and Alaveran's men convinced him to escape. Those captured during the attack by the soldiers were impeisoned indefinetly. Alaveran took ship and fled the land, eventually reaching the Imperial port of Illikon and finding a friend in Jael Faldwyn, a half dwarf half elf girl. With his title unrecognized in a foreign land, Alaveran now finds himself as a wandering adventurer, keeping an eye out for his hide.

The next day, The shipwrecked elf washed upon the shore of a nearby island. He was found by his future wife, a sea dwarf who housed him and nursed him back to health.

Unfortunately, her ship became stranded on a reef, forcing her to escape with her belongings inland. She found work as a market guard, hoping to soon raise enough money to return to Imperial lands.

On her return home, she found a steadfast friend in Alaveran Sutosh, an exiled nobleman. Jael now lives the life of an adventurer, though she returns to Illikon occassionally to visit her family at the docks.
