Computer use: not an ingenious hacker, but knows enough to crack personal financial security codes if someone's banking chip finds its way into Dar's hands

Interpersonal Relations: skittish if trapped; conniving; can make others laugh until they realize that when Dar says "I haven't had anything in 2 days, I could eat a horse!!", Dar isn't kidding; will betray just about anyone for personal gain; mental instability sometimes scares people; has an quasi-insane hatred of "scientists"

Appearance: most Terrans think Dar is some kind of alien. Dar is a bit taller than most 13 year-olds and is has a slight frame. Dar has short silvery-blonde hair, a fair complexion (both Dar's hair and skin usually look darker, but that's just dirt), and 6 fingers on each hand (this helps immensely with pickpocketing). It is not clear to anyone (including Dar) whether Dar is a girl or a boy. Dar has many fine-lined scars on the arms and legs, the result of being the subject of countless scientific experiments.

Special Equipment/Vehicles/Expensive possessions: a blue gem hangs on a silver chain about Dar's neck; Dar never removes it and if anyone ever tries to touch it, a world of pain results.....for both Dar and the unlucky interloper.

Other Information: Dar is the child of Darren Elhalyn (the "kidnapped" heir to Elhalyn, older brother of Clara Elhalyn) and Jzarna-zinie 'Arielle' Lindir (a 3/4 chieri). Dar is the product of a di catenas marriage. Thus, Dar would the heir to the Elhalyn throne were Dar on Darkover. Alas, Darren Elhalyn and his young family were "disappeared", by unknown parties, for political reasons, when Dar was still a small child. What ever became of Darren is unknown and Dar has no memory of the "Hastur of Elhalyn". To the detriment of Dar's mental health, Dar has buried the memory of Dar and Arielle's subsequent imprisonment by scientists at the ISIAR (The Institute for Scientific Inquiry into Alien Races), a part of the Geneva Research Polis (an entire city devoted solely to clinical research) in Switzerland, Terra. Dar escaped the polis but Arielle perished there. Dar has no memory of the escape.
