{PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION}Build; Haran has spent many years in the mountains and cliffsides, and often has to climb up to hidden crevices to tend to his flock. As such he's well built for climbing without rope ladders, with strong shoulders and arms and a lean physique.
Color; Haran has warm, brown skin and long, thick black hair. When he's in direct sunlight, his hair shines with rich red undertones. His one remaining eye is a pale green color, and might be considered sharp and piercing if he ever wore a serious expression in his life.
Alterations; As with his siblings, Haran is an eighth elven. While his elf heritage is not very strong, it shows in small ways, such as the ease of his movements and the slightest point to the tips of his ears. The latter, however, are often hidden by his hair.
Modifications; Like many of his people, Haran has special tattooing, mimicking spider patterning. The most prominent ones is the marking under his mouth and along his chin, though he also possesses several darker banding tattoos around his wrists and ankles. Haran is also missing his left eye, though he will be the first to tell you the story is really not that interesting.
Dress; Haran dresses for necessity. Being out in the mountains requires sturdy footwear, and he pairs tall boots with light breeches worn under a thicker, knee length shenti. He dresses in layers up top as well, wearing a fitted sleeveless shirt underneath a thick woolen poncho. The dyes on his poncho have faded somewhat over the years, but there still remains distinct patterning in the weave, a gift from his father when he first began his journey as a shepherd. His staff is made of ebonywood, sturdy and forked at the top to string several silver bells between the prongs. It's easily his most treasured item, and he takes extraordinary care of it.
{PERSONALITY}Good-humored, calm, compassionate, adventurous, impulsive, mischievous, unpolished, and self-identifies as a "formerly very angry young man".
Fun Facts!:- Likes to play the pan flute in his spare time, which is a lot.
- Is a regular smoker, and carries a pipe wherever he goes.
- Has A Thing for strong personalities.
- Can hold his own in a fistfight despite his overall 'pacifist' vibe.
{SPECIAL ABILITIES}Beastspeaking; Like all spider-shepherds, Haran possesses the ability to telepathically communicate with animals. It's through this ability that he's able to maneuver large numbers of spiders from place to place, as well as coordinate their web-making efforts. His power isn't limited to just spiders, however, and has saved his hide on more than one occasion of wandering through dark cliffs.
Telepathy; Haran also is able to read and project his own thoughts to another individual, though he does his best to avoid doing such a thing, instead preferring to hear other individuals speak up rather than have him go prying. His siblings are, of course, something of an exception, because there is nothing more satisfying than being able to call your siblings out on their bullshit.
{RELATIONSHIPS}Imthraime of the Serha Plains - Haran's paternal great-grandmother, a severe elf woman who cares deeply for her family and regularly gets in their business.
Takan (Diligence) Imthraime - Haran's father, a sullen-looking quarter-elf with a sharp sense of humor.
Ronah (Peace) Aide - Haran's mother, deceased, once a celebrated member of the Trapdoors.
Ilke (Glory) Aide - Haran's sister, the eldest of the three siblings and a fierce fighter in the Funnel.
Takke (Cleverness) Aide - Haran's younger brother, a walking ball of chaos.
{HISTORY}Heeeee has one!
