Childhood story: Born to a poor family in a superstitious village, Elwin was always different - slender, beautiful, and drawn to the woods rather than village life. His mother, Eva, a kindly weaver, tried to protect him from the suspicious glares, while his father, Tarron, a woodcutter, grew increasingly distant from his "unmanly" son. He had two older brothers who tormented him for his feminine appearance. The village elders, particularly a bitter old woman named Marta who lost her husband to a "forest witch," spread rumors of Elwin's supernatural nature. When crops failed in his 18th year, Marta convinced the village that Elwin was cursed and should be sacrificed to appease the forest spirits. His own father bound his hands before he was dragged to the forest edge and abandoned to die. His mother wept but did nothing to stop it. Elwin was lost in the woods for over a week, running from forest creatures such as bears and wolves, but also from magical creatures such as the "Dan'Kasit", a bear-like stalker that can smell the scent of sweat and follow it. When he was almost killed, the forest suddenly protected him with its roots and light. Elwin eventually came to understand that the forest is a living being - it breathes. It creates great forest titans, moves its roots and creates swamp monsters. Cutting down trees leads to aggressive behaviour, fires lead to aggressive behaviour and so on. The forest fell in love with Elwin and took care of him, eventually merging with him when he became ill. Now Elwin is part of the forest. He can control roots, plants and the like, he is part of its being. For hundreds of years the forest lived with its creatures... until man began to cut down its trees. It was then that the forest began to build a wall of thorns, cutting and beheading any human who came near it. The forest is angry that humans are trying to kill it, and it will kill them instead. The forest is magical. Some say that the Forest God himself is at the heart of the forest, but no one has ever seen him. Not even Elwin.

Current Life: Elwin exists in a state of semi-omnipresence throughout his domain, able to manifest his physical form where needed while simultaneously being aware of all that transpires within the forest. He maintains strict rules to preserve the balance: no fires, no harm to forest natives, and respect for the natural cycle of predator and prey. His greatest concern is the expanding human settlements that threaten his borders, prompting the creation of the deadly thorn wall that surrounds his domain. Over centuries, he has developed a deeper understanding of the forest entity that saved him - not truly a god, but an ancient consciousness that existed long before humans. Elwin has become its voice, hands, and heart. Though immortal within his realm, he knows his existence is tied to the forest's survival, making each acre lost to human encroachment a personal wound.

Friends: Among his closest companions is Thorne, a massive stag with antlers that grow flowering vines instead of velvet. They met when Elwin saved the fawn from a poacher's trap in his early years as forest guardian. Thorne now stands taller than horses, majestic and wise, often carrying Elwin on his back during patrols. Another ally is Kiran, a handsome forest spirit with blue-tinted skin and eyes like amber who existed in the woods long before Elwin arrived. Initially jealous of the forest's love for Elwin, Kiran now serves as his advisor and occasional companion in the lonely watches of night.

Enemies: His most persistent adversary is Lord Cedric Darrow, a wealthy industrialist from the nearest city who has built his fortune on logging and paper mills. Now in his sixties but still imposing, with steel-gray hair and cold blue eyes, Ironwood has lost three expeditions to Elwin's forest and bears a facial scar from their only direct confrontation. He claims the forest harbors valuable resources needed for progress.

Goal: reclaiming lands lost to human development, while finding a way to ensure the forest's consciousness can survive even if parts of it are destroyed.

Duties: Maintaining the protective thorn barrier, healing injured animals and trees, preserving balance between species, communing with the forest consciousness

Sexual behavior: As a being partially merged with the forest, Elwin's sexuality is deeply connected to the natural cycles of growth and renewal. He is a switch, finding pleasure in being enveloped and consumed by the forest. His kinks involve bondage with living vines and sensation play with different plant textures. He can be dominant(and uses then the vines to pleasure his lover))
