Well, if you're looking for an actual group of people who'd want to hire an elf with real talent, one of my characters is getting people together to fight a highly-dangerous vampire.
Details here. Gathering thread in-progress, with a few people across three users (myself included) working on The Plan.
On the other hand, you could be
Guilty and sentenced to fight in a colliseum, where you'll attempt to escape and/or prove your innocence.
Apart from that, there is always time for getting my new characters exercise. If you see any that interest you, plans could be made.
