PERSONALITY
Silver is a soft spoken elven man with a tendency to lose himself to his own thoughts; often times falling silent in the middle of conversations to deep dive into the discussion on his own, forgetting to speak aloud and leaving his conversation partner confused. It is not done maliciously, and he is quick to apologize and continue on as if nothing had happened.
He is loyal, dedicated, and selfless when it comes to his family and friends, going so far as to give up the rare and precious bow he was given by the Sylvan Rangers in return for a cure for his dying father. It is a trait that both endears and annoys those around him, leaving them convinced that Silver has no care for himself or the consequences that might arise from his selflessness, so long as he is able to help those he cares for.
If there is one thing that he will not be humble and reserved about, however, it is his skill with a bow. More often than not he will find himself in playful competitions with the other rangers, and even boast about his victories when they come.
HISTORY
Silver was born just after his twin sister to two Sylvan elves from Ash Haven, a northern settlement in the Sylvan Forest home to only a few dozen wild elves; well known for its scared tree that holds a special connection to the Everliving Tree - the center of the forest and what essentially amounts to a place of worship for the Sylvan.
Silver knew he wanted to be a Ranger since he was young. The Sylvan Rangers were a world renowned group of elven warriors specializing in bows and short swords. So Silver took up both as soon as he was able to, training diligently with his friend Fletcher until well into their hundreds.
Eventually, both men traveled to the capital of Mistledale, where they were properly trained and tested, and eventually initiated into the Sylvan Rangers. Fletcher would rise quickly to the leader position, while Silver served under him along with the rest, though they did often work together on missions.
Unfortunately, time and duty would split the friends apart more often than not, with Fletcher taking on more and more responsibilities and Silver being sent elsewhere in the forest, they would not see one another for long periods of time. Silver was not lonely, however, often making friends as he traveled through the forest, and doing his due diligence for his people.
His years were mostly uneventful, save for his participation in the very few wars the Sylvan engaged in via assisting other (mostly human) settlements at the request of the allied ruler, until he returned to Ash Haven to find his father having fallen incredibly ill. Not known for their strong constitutions and susceptibility to mundane illnesses, there was little hope for Moss Eye. Silver was determined to save him though, and sought out a cure from the elder Sylvan Hollow Feather. Ornery and selfish thing he was, Hollow Feather demanded something valuable in return and would not take coin. He required the honey of a gilded bee to craft the potion, and would do so if Silver gave him his Elderwood bow (a bow crafted from the bark of the Everliving Tree and specially crafted for Sylvan Rangers), or a living gilded bee. Desperate, Silver agreed.
Unfortunately, he could not obtain the bee without risking his life and dying from the deadly sting. So with the honey in tow, he regretfully gave his bow over for the potion. His father was not pleased despite being cured of his illness, telling his son that it was a waste to give something so special away for a man who was old enough to just die without issue.
Silver still wonders if he made the right choice.
ABILITIES
▐ Archer: The Sylvan Rangers are the best of the best, easily the most renowned group of archers in the entirety of Valsheria. As a Ranger, Silver is exceptionally skilled with a longbow, able to take down opponents far greater than himself from a distance with pinpoint accuracy.
▐ Stealth: The forest is a dangerous place, and any sound could alert the myriad of beasts lurking in the trees. As such, Silver has adapted to make his footsteps nearly imperceptible, moving gracefully and quietly on instinct.
