    Description/Image:

Taller than some, this 4'2" elf is quiet and reserved, his words soft and few, but powerful in meaning. He sports long, wavy black hair that falls from his head down to just past his shoulders, tied back from his face by a tanned, leather headband. His eyes are dark emeralds which gaze about him, jade orbs which take in all of his surroundings. The rest of his face is mostly rounded, yet thin, supported by a small neck. Though he wears a thin, wide strap across his chest, running from his left shoulder to his waist on his right side, it sometimes fails to cover the 3 inch scar that was left from some accident in his past.

The muscles of his chest and arms are sparse, those of a traveler whose skill at hunting is not to be told from his appearance. A loincloth, dyed with greens and covered with patterns stitched into it, defends his modesty, hanging loosely from his waist where it connects with the strap across his chest, down to just above his knees. He wears small moccosins on his feet, a rather shoddy affair that more than likely serve to keep him from injuring them on sharp rocks or stingtails. A second strap is tied about his left thigh, a groove cut into the long material so that the end can be run through to support the hunting knife he carries with him.

    Background:

Kiahn grew up a quiet child, his father never speaking a word all of Kiahn's young life. This held a facination for Kiahn and he became much like his father in that aspect, never speaking a sound as he wandered though the jungles of his home. He found that he enjoyed the same life his father had lead, wandering off from the tribe to hunt on his own, first for short periods and frequently. Often leaving the day after he arrived back in the holt, as he aged these journeys became longer but less frequent. Many times he would just sneak off from the rest of the tribe and sit by a large rock facing the path his father had last taken.

One morning he sat at this rock and as the sun came up he saw a sparkle in the bushes. Curiously looking for the sparkle he found a small panther kit, eyes barely open and on the brink of starvation. Kiahn took the ebony colored kit back to his home and nursed it back to health. He believed once the kit was healthy and strong it would leave him, beginning a life of it's own. However the little kit shocked him and never left, she has grown strong by his side.

After a return from a lengthy time away, Kiahn returned to the camp dropping down at the campfire near those he knew mostly in passing and his eyes caught those of a maiden. As the blush rose across her cheeks she stole his heart away, he knew he must somehow find the courage to approach this flower of his tropical home. Time passed and slowly her shy glances became more encouraging until one stormy night they became lovemates, from that day forward he knew there would be no other for him. Her father however, being overly protective of his youngest daughter became angry and tried to force the pair apart, forbidding them from ever even looking at each other again. As Cateri looked over her father's shoulder her eyes met Kiahn's recognition gave the pair more than they had ever hoped for, a daughter, Rysha.

Things in Kiahn's life lead him away from his beloved and his young kit, after many turns he came home. His kit almost broke his heart by not recognizing him. He vowed at that moment he would never leave his love or his little girl again. However he did.. after 2 seasons he disappeared once more. Returning he found himself almost a father again, Cateri just beginning to show her second pregnancy.

A hand of turns have passed and Kiahn still remains in the encampment, never wandering far for fear that something will happen to his love, his lifemate. She has two growing kits to care for and where has he been, until the second kit he was always gone. Now he has promised her he will never leave her again to the life she led alone with their kit. His son, Cashen, at two turns is a small but sturdy cub with the tall build of his father already and Kiahn is so very proud to have two such beautiful kits.
