An important note. I'm not on the chat nearly as often as I used to be. I am, however, on YIM and Steam nearly every day. If you know me on here and would like to poke me there, I'm on both as Chaosvolt. I am also on Skype as chaosvolt_dragonson, for those I knew on MSN now that they scrapped it.

Basics:
Name: Yllis, meaning Emerald in her language.
Sex: Female.
Age: Nearly 60 years old, appears to the in her mid-20s due to her kind's longevity.
Species: Elf.
Preference: Straight. (player is fine either way)
Handedness: Right-handed.
Background:
An elf hailing from the same realm as Chaosvolt, specifically the islands known as Lunaria, where she officially serves as a temple guard of the Imperial Temple, dedicated to their moon goddess. Her kind are known as Lunarian elves, distinct from Draconian elves mostly in culture rather than appearance, having drifted apart thousands of years ago. Normally her duties would require her to stay at the temple unless the Lunarian Empire requested the service of their healers, paladins, or guards for military purposes. But she somehow ended up here acting as an adventurer, her reason for doing so being a secret.
Image done by Wibo, of an Emerald no doubt flustered to be caught in her more casual attire. Maybe also added a few color tweaks.
Description:
She appears as you'd expect an elf to appear, a lithe human-like form about 5'10" with pointed ears, a medium complexion, blue eyes, and dark brown hair worn in a short ponytail. Her form is still quite toned and curvacious to some extent, despite the stereotype of elves being frail and slender.
As for clothing, she has one of two outfits. Normally she wears robes of toughened cloth made to function as light armor without restricting movement, black fabric with blue trim, the color pattern associated with Lunaria and those acting in service to their empire. Underneath she typically wears short leggings and simple cloth wrapped around her chest. For more casual outfit tends to be a simple top and full-length leggings, sometimes combined with a looser chemise-like robe, but just as often kept as-is, especially when in private or attending Lunar rituals by herself. With either outfit, she wears military sandals resembling the Roman caligae.
Personality:
Emerald is generally reserved and occasionally cold around others, at least to those she doesn't know. It doesn't take much to get her to warm up, but she still tends to maintain a slightly formal attitude. Given her inexperience with the...oddities of this realm, she'd likely be a bit naive about the potential dangers, but she at least has the sense to be cautious around unfamiliar creatures.
Items:
Her normal assortment of items are typical adventurer gear, carried in a simple backpack and a few belt pouches. The only thing of note is her weapon of choice, an odd sword, curved more like a scimitar than a katana, and different from both in having a double edge despite the curvature.
Abilities and Skills:
Like your typical elf, she has a bit better agility and balance than the average human, but in her case her training is largely the reason for it. Sadly she lacks any experience with spellcasting, though she has some understanding of its principles and how it works in her realm, but it takes training (or a little natural talent to start with) to develop casting ability.
Crappy sprite edit ahoy.
