Personality snapshot: Adventurous, curious, somewhat socially awkward, innocent, "anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-too" attitude, quick to flee, but brave in the face of real danger.
In depth personality: Arfidan is the prime example of how a healthy young elf should be, unfortunately for him he appears to be more of an orc. Arfidan is an honest and loyal boy towards those he holds dear, but tend to flee when he's gotten himself in trouble rather than taking on the situation head on. While he's more than willing to learn, he has a short attention span, but at the same time he's also a hard worker. Arfidan is always looking for adventure, and never seems satisfied with being isolated. He can't resist sticking his nose into others people's business, though it often backfires on him. Arfidan loves meeting new people, but his friendliness tends to wear out people quickly and it takes him a while to calm down around new friends.
Most prominent personality trait: His curiosity.
Best traits of their personality: His bravery.
Worst traits of their personality: He's awfully clingy and tends to plot revenge when angered.

Do they have a healthy self image?: Not really, but it doesn't stop him from living his daily life.
If not, why?: Arfidan was often teased by the other kids for being too ugly to be an elf, and too pretty to be an orc, often making him feeling left out and somewhat ashamed of his appearance.

First impression usually given: A bit scatterbrained, easily excited and probably not the brightest.
Are they logical thinkers?: Not very, he tends to go with his gut.
Right brain/left brained?: Right brained. It's just the way he's wired.

Current faith: Follower of the Goddess Mother
If they do have one, why?: The Goddess Mother is a fact, but not everyone worships her as the Goddess doesn't demand sacrifice or faith. How she's interpreted varies from place to place.
Are they strong in it?: Arfidan knows much about the Goddess, but doesn't really care.
Do they actively practice it?: Nope.

What superstitions do they have?: There exists giant spiders that know how to build armor and weapons for their legs. They feed on everything living, even trolls.
Reasons why they have these odd beliefs: The neighborhood boys tricked him badly when he was little, and it's still stuck for some odd reason.

Outlook on life: It's a huge adventure, if you just dare to walk out the door and take a path you don't know.

Alignment: Neutral
Why they chose this path: No sides appeal to him or his goals.

Personal quote and(or) motto: "Life is generous, but not very kind, so I plan to make the most of it. Someday the world will shout my name with pride"

Backstory: Afridan was born of an elven mother and orc father, and though the family was perfectly stable, his parents decided to split up as their life goals were now way to different. Though Arfidan was very different from everyone else on Avalon, he was never teased or bothered by the kids or adults. Life was uneventful with his mother, and Arfidan was quite happy with nothing happening. Aireesse pampered and adored her son. Arfidan practically lived like a prince. Life was perfect, until Aireesse fell ill. The before beautiful and lively elf turned pale and tired. Luck wasn't on her side, and she passed away a few days before the cure arrived. No one on the island of Avalon knew how to cope with the loss, and rather than being taken inn by the school like the other orphans, Arfidan was sent to his father in Emgard. Not able to cope with the son's fits and the loss of Aireesse, Degar placed him a "day care" to get him properly socialized, toughen the child up and get some time to grief. Arfidan became an easy target for bullying due to his softer nature, and suffered heavy injuries the first few weeks.

Day care did what it what meant for, and Arfidan quickly got over his crybaby stage, but his body still remained weak compared to the others. Around the age of 6, he began taking an interest in weapons, often visiting the local arena to pick up on some techniques and practicing with his father whenever he could. Sadly, Arfidan didn't show any talent for the art, instead becoming more and more familiar with magic instead. After performing some tricks in a back ally, Afridan met Enon, a southern orc very much lanky and awkward as himself. Arfidan finally found somebody he could identify with, and was thrilled to spend time around the strange man. Enon turned out to be a great influence, teaching Arfidan not to rely on his brute strength, but rather his wits and creativity like he was meant to.

A few years later Arfidan began feeling that he finally had a place in life, and it's was not in Emgard, but out where it's adventure. He felt it was time to face his true destiny, whatever that may be. Spending time with Enon has allowed the halfling to mature rapidly, and he quickly capable of taking care of himself with no assistance or guidance. With a formal permission from his father, Arfidan took his first steps into the unknown, with Enon right behind to make sure he wouldn't get eaten by wolves. He's now on the quest to become a hero, taking on all adventures in his path.

Family background: Aireesse's profile, Degar's profile
How did their parents meet?: They met up by coincidence during their own personal quests.
How is their relationship with their parents?: Arfidan has a brief but deep connection with his mother, and adored her to bits. He is very much a mama's boy, and was glued to her skirt. With his father it's a different story. The two have very much the same values and think alike, but somehow can't seem to get along with each other. Their conversations contain mostly silence and one liners.
Siblings: None.
Aunts, uncles and other extended relatives:

Marital status: Unmarried, single
What kind of romantic are they?: Absolutely hopeless. Arfidan falls quickly and deeply in love, but he just as easily falls out and loses interest.

He can't fly as of yet, and is therefor fearful that his wings might get damaged permamently. Four limbs and a slim tail.
