Arley Crow means- hunter crow
Six foot one medium toned strong body with long dark brown hair with a strong angular face wearing stubble. His honey tan skin with a reddish under tone lends to the mystery of his heritage, but his weathered skins shows from the years he has spent out side showing him as an avid outdoors man.
Born and raised into the tribesmen of the area known in Griffin Wood as the Wildlands Arley and his older half brother Izusa grew up and was taught in the way of their people. A love and respect for nature, a belief in all things being connected, taking care of family and respecting the elders and their wisdom.
Their bodies were hardened and strengthened through everyday chores and the harsh training in unarmed fighting. All young males took up the bow, and it was said these tribesmen were only rivaled by Elven Archers. Arley also learned the way of the hunter and how to track and hide in various environments.
Arley became a great hunter, a proud brave warrior. As he grew he also learned the spear, and how to wield a one handed sword. When he reached the age of man hood he went through days of heat induced visions and fasting, just as his brother Izusa did. He too gained powers from the spirit realm. Focusing his inner spirit allowed him to block and deflect energy and magical projectiles, In his blades his spirit made them uncommonly sharp. The spirits gave him great skills and he received what was known as his inner spirit animal. The use of summoning this transformation takes a heavy toll on his body. After invoking this act his body will rest for seven days and he cannot use it again for half a year.
Arley's path was unlike his half brothers. Izusa watched over the tribe and surrounding areax, but Arley's path was to roam the land and seek knowledge of the world outside the Wildlands.
At age twenty five Arley lives in the forest on the outskirts of a port city called Tetera. Instead of his tribal clothing he now wears simple brown leather pants from a stag he took to feed himself and a poor family he helped out one winter. His boots were from the thick hide of the same stag, lined with the fur of a grey dire wolf that went mad and caused some chaos. The same fur he wears as a part of his cloak. His dual belts has a pouch and his sword attached and his shirt is simple and basic. A quiver of arrows rest on his back accompanied by his sixty three inch longbow.
