Character
Appearance
Zelan is a young man in his early twenties who stands approximately 5 fulms, 10 ilms tall and weighs roughly 165 ponze; he has blonde hair and blue eyes. He keeps his hair between short and shaggy and is typically dressed in costumes that are embroidered and/or otherwise adorned with metals, gems, and similar eye-catching objects. Zelan has adopted a wide variety of styles from his travels and loves to experiment with clothing on and off the stage. On the battlefield he loves to show off as though it were his stage; his battle gear is light and flowing, armoring only the right places to allow him maximum freedom of movement and balance.
Personality

When on the road too long Zelan can become whiny when tired or petulant when challenged. Of note, he has a preoccupation with cleanliness and personal hygiene that conflicts with the nature of adventuring or "roughing it"; he too often overburdens himself with "nice to have" items instead of focusing solely on "need to have" items when traveling.
