Voph
Voph. The only name he'd ever known. The only name he'd ever been given. Twisted by dark magics to suit his matriarch's needs. A half-elf of once-noble birth, Voph has been reduced to a hunter, working tirelessly within the Underrealm to enact this wishes of his Matriarch. But even the most loyal of servants have their breaking point...
Appearance
Voph is tall and fair skinned, a testament to centuries living solely within the Underrealm. A lithe and athletic individual, he is covered in the scars and injuries one would expect of a career combatant. Upon his left breast is the brand of the Drow family he belongs to. A stern reminder of the fate which awaits him should he return home. Voph's hair is long and devoid of color. As typical with members of his race, he is incapable of growing a beard. While normally allowed to hang about his shoulders in the course of every day life, Voph is known to restrain his hair to keep it out of his face during combat or other physical activity.
Skills and Abilities
Voph is proficient with both sword and magic, having been relentlessly trained with both from a young age. Raised in nobility, his fighting style is infused with elegance, relying on elusive dodges and graceful parries to ensure his continued existence. His signature sword is constructed in a way to be lighter and more agile than a normal Straight Sword, but this comes with the caveat of not being able to block blows directly. Also skilled in the use of smaller bladed items such as daggers, though his skill lies far more in knowing where to stab someone for best effect than fighting toe-to-toe.
His understanding of magic is limited at best. What few spells he does know are centered around damaging or disorienting opponents. His knowledge of locational spells and healing spells are severely stunted, creating an artificial reliance upon his masters to preserve his wellbeing.

Personality
Voph was trained from a very early age to have no personality of his own. He is nothing more than a tool and a servant to his Matriarch, and any suggestion that he believed more than that was beaten out of him. He spoke only when spoken to, and would never make eye contact unless attempting to intimidate a target at his Matriarch's command.
Now that he's escaped his imprisonment, Voph is a quiet, scared, and unsure individual. Having taken the first steps to becoming his own person, he is discovering his true personality as he ventures forth. Though years of abuse are not so easily undone. He is often overtaken by anger, and can be quite petty and vindictive. The capacity for good is there, but it would take a gentle, guiding hand to steer him there.
