Keohian Eilzeiros | Steady | EITE Collab

Physical Traits:

Approximately 130-140 years old (Lives by decades, not single years) | Appearance of a man in his early 30's (Due to their slow aging and long lives: he has already hit the prime and his aging has slowed dramatically, as all Elves experience) | Born August 14th.

[Species: Half Wood Elf, half High Elf.] Born in Faelcrest, Luthëanora (Land of the Elves).

6' 4"

His Wood Elf heritage has a strong hold on his genes, and he looks full-blooded Wood Elf; copper hair, freckles, thick eyebrows, etc. Tall, lean, tanned skin with red undertone. Muscle mass tucked into his frame without adding nearly any bulk- filled out to the point he still looks thin. Stands and sits with great posture, though he is often needed to sit in a forward-leaning position while working that aggravates his back.

Hazel eyes; bright gold mixed with green. Green more near the outer ring, gold near the pupil. As with all Elves, he has vision better than a human, able to see further and with more detail, as well as heightened pattern recognition and motion detection. His eyes give off a faint reflection when he's in the dark and light hits him; like an animal, but more subdued. He is able to see very well in low light and in the dark.

Long brown hair with copper tone; the copper-red tone shows sharply when under direct lighting, especially sunlight. Often kept in a waterfall-style braid, to keep it partly out of his way (while also looking beautiful). If he doesn't have as much time to do a waterfall braid, he will put his hair in double braids. His hair is wavy and soft when loose, the ends reaching his mid-lower back. When working, he will have the waterfall braids on the sides of his head, and the rest pulled back gently into a golden hair cuff so it does not fall into his way.

Face: Longer thin face, sunken cheeks, well defined cheek bones, as typical of Elven heritage. Elongated ear shell- pointed and drawn back. Has beauty marks; while usually seen on humans, Wood Elves do get the rare occurrence, and he has many freckles on his face (rather rare): mostly his cheeks, though some are also on his forehead, chin, and nose. No facial hair, as typical for his kind. Short sideburns, semi-thick eyebrows. Pierced earlobes.

Body: A tall and thin body, always held in good posture subconsciously (except when he has to lean/hunch for detailed and careful leatherworking for longer periods). Despite the height and size, he isn't an imposing presence to most people. He has few marks on his body, but he does have freckles beyond just his face; his shoulders, biceps and forearms, and thighs. He has a small collection of moles on the right side of his hip. No body hair. No other bodily piercings aside from his ears, and no tattoos. Genitals: No hair. 8.67 inch penis, slight upward curve.

Style: Likes light fabrics, often a bit more loose than his body needs to move without restraint; just shy of being potentially seen as baggy in size: "flowing" suits him better. Forest green fabric is his most common and most preferred color. Wears open, free-fitting "vests", which have the hems embroidery with golden sewing of Elven designs. Shirts typically have a low v-neck that lead down to his mid-pec, giving him extra air and maneuverability. Pants are loose-fitting around his legs too, but fitting at the waist, when he's casual. When working or plans to need better, faster maneuverability, he will wear slightly more fitting pants where the pant sleeves won't brush together; at that time, he also wears a leather looped/knotted leather belt. He wears a set of crystal gem earrings that vary in color; he will switch them out (a dark-to-light gradient purple, a rose quartz color, an aquamarine color, and a set of clear crystals). Casually wears a textured golden silk sash as a "belt" tied around his waist, purely for the accessory. Always in leather boots for shoes, otherwise barefoot (at home, sometimes in the forest).

Occupation: Leather worker for the Order. Keohian is in charge of making a custom-made saddle for a dragon and their Rider (for all Riders) by adding leather onto an already measured saddle tree carved from wood, created by another craftsman in charge of the measuring of the dragon + Rider and carving the wood to match. Keohian carves out every leather piece, shapes them, treats them, sews them, assembles the pieces and cushioning beneath the saddle seat, brands the main saddle tree with his seal, and prepares them for transport to Kastabyrn (the Order's smithy, who will add the metal pieces and connect all of the leather with rivets, and put the buckles and D-rings on). He first learned to work with materials in Faelcrest, a trade hub with many people skilled with various crafts; he learned many skills by watching those who knew them very closely, but never actually mentoring until later on.

Fighting: Keohian is not a man prone to fighting, nor does he want to have to. However, he is very skilled with a bow; practical and an almost instinctual skill with it. He always carries an Elven knife with him, of medium size, often just underneath a fold of his clothes; where he can draw it quickly and easily, but where it's not always easy for someone else to try and pinpoint. He moves smoothly when fighting, fast and precise, hard to keep up with his potential to create a flurry of strikes.

Personality:

Mid-tone voice; not low, but far from being called high; baritone. Has an almost song-like tone when he speaks, lyrical and smooth. Easily slips into and out of song; full song and lyrical notes when he's trying to be funny/teasing.

Very calm demeanor, non-imposing presence. Most people see Keohian as an peaceful, warm presence, even if he does seem more closed off than he is once engaged in pleasant conversation. He has long discovered many people find him attractive by basic introduction (or even by sight). Often seen as more carefree than overly serious, friendly and sometimes a bit flirty (mostly platonically).

When alone, Keohian prefers the calm that comes with the stillness of the world compared to crowded areas in towns, as well as the sounds of nothing more than a breeze, running water, wildlife, etc. The company of Ember is often welcomed, not counting as breaking any peace that being alone brings; she brings him happiness and calm both. The true calm moments are spent completely still, barely thinking, maybe with tea; not even a book to direct his mind. He moves slower when relaxed, though still just as fluid and graceful as always.

If angry, Keohian simmers in his emotions. That anger bubbles, uncomfortable and pressurizing in his chest, and will flare into a brief snappy outburst if pushed further; he won't necessarily mean it, but it will snap if pushed too far. Otherwise, his anger will dissipate slowly, and most likely be relaxed with his calm tendencies; tea, music, quiet time to himself (or with Ember). He won't become physical just out of anger (unless actually justified- example: he's angry because someone harmed someone he cares about and he acts against them in revenge/justice).

Traits: Active, adaptable, articulate, calm, capable, charismatic, charming, cheerful, clever, considerate, creative, decisive, dedicated, eloquent, fair, forgiving, freethinking, friendly, gentle, helpful, humorous, independent, intelligent, leisurely, logical, lyrical, meticulous, observant, organized, passionate, patient, peaceful, perfectionist, persuasive, playful, respectful, secure, skillful, steady, teacherly, cautious, critical, difficult, egocentric, forgetful, hedonistic, loquacious, melancholic, presumptuous, quirky, repressed, ritualistic, self-indulgent, transparent.

Some people close to him call him Keo, though it's not very common. Would mostly be used for those very close to him, not just casual acquaintances.

Quirks:

Keohian is able to hold his breath for much longer than an average human (from what he has noticed). This includes for air-quality needs, or underwater.

He loves water; not as drinking, but as to be in. Swimming, bathing, floating, hot springs: they're all highly enjoyable to Keohian. (He always makes sure to put his long hair into a braid and wrap it into a bun at the top of his head to keep all of his hair up and out of any hot spring water so it doesn't get damaged.) He really enjoys the feeling his body gets when almost fully in water; the weightless yet simultaneously heavy feeling it gives him.

The crystal earrings that Keohian wears (all sets, all being different kinds of crystals) glow in the presence of energy. Magical energy. The stronger that presence is, the brighter they glow, and even slightly levitate and hum when very strong.

Keohian likes to play the harp, ocarina, lyre, and vielle. His fingers are very dexterous, and he is gifted with the ability to keep a perfect tempo and pitch. He is a very soothing performer, and he sways with the music as he plays to give a more fluid experience. He also sings, with equal soothing tone, and performs ballads on the lyre.

He loves actual honey. Some people have taken notice of it before, attributed it to his "honeyed words", but he genuinely loves the taste and all the uses it has beyond taste. He uses it for any wounds he gets to help repair the skin.

Though seemingly quite care-free at times, he keeps very meticulous records about his work. Measurements and adjustments, repairs, replacements, whatever it may be. He has to be able to keep track of equipment failures, reasons for the failures, frequency, and the measurements that any specific Rider has for their dragon so he can cut out and prepare a replacement accurately. (His handwriting is very neat and smooth, almost elegant; but not complicated).

Though he's not a metalworker that can repair a blade if damaged or broken, he's fully able to sharpen and smooth a blade when needed; using a whetstone and leather strop is not new or difficult, and his patience in the process creates a precise edge.

He has a barely concealed love for cute things; animals especially. Fluffy items, cute colors, tiny items, cute charms, etc.

The inside of Keohian's house is painted with flowers, depictions of wildlife, and small Elven knot designs on small areas (like corner decor on cabinets). He hand painted all of them himself, patiently, little by little. He is still adding little additions around his house.

He has a quiet yet active imagination. He likes to read fiction, listen to stories (exaggerated moments someone "has lived" or tales that have been passed down and become legends), adore ballads, and daydreaming. He's not lost in these fantasies, but he does love to spend time just thinking about the beauty of them.

Keohian likes to bring plants into his house, and sometimes allows them to "roam" his house; healthy climbing along his windows with guidance, creating a system for them, etc.

There is a large selection of teas that Keohian consumes; some are ground and already processed when he buys them, and some are harvested himself, depending on where the ingredients originate from and if it's even possible for him to get them himself. He knows all the side effects and purposes that these tea bases provide, choosing them based on these properties and then adjusting that taste with additional flavors- like honey, etc.

Keohian is claustrophobic. Though most Wood Elves do have a form of this, ranging in intensity, Keohian's claustrophobia is more intense than most, trigger more easily. This does not affect his desire for affection, however, or his ability and desire to hug.

Relationships:

Mother: Daethie Eilzeiros. Wood Elf. 280 years old. Daethie acts as a Scout, often away from home and deep in the forests somewhere, moving about. Her duty is to locate areas at risk of poachers and camping it out, then stopping them and bringing them to justice for further handling. She is a very lithe, swift woman, easily able to sneak up on most people without specifically trying, just from being used to her light-footed nature. She has secondary goals and tasks of looking for other problems deep in the forests, such as wildfires, blight, etc. Despite the quiet nature, she's very affectionate when she loves someone, as she always shows her love to her husband and to her son when she is with them.

Father: Iney'veir Eilzeiros. High Elf. 300 years old. Iney'veir works as an artisan; he creates paintings and blows glass. Each painting can easily take him five years, often more; the paintings are made specially for someone who has ordered one, though never with a determined focus or depiction- going by trust to him as the artist. These paintings are highly valued and immensely detailed. Blowing glass is a less common task for him, but equally as intensive- though it does not take him nearly as long. Each piece will close him into his workshop for a full day at a time to create, shape, cool, and finalize. He can make vases, decorations, memorial items, and even intricate flowers. He's much quieter than his wife, more composed, and shows his love and affection less freely- not because he does not feel as deeply, but because he does not express it in the same way.

Pet: Ember. Red fox. Female. Adult stage in life. After earning the favor of Keohian and an Elf with fauna-focused magic, her lifespan was expanded to way beyond natural lengths, so that she may stay with Keohian as his companion. Favorite snacks: blueberries, blackberries, fish. Ember loves naps in the sun, burrowing into Keohian's bedding and pillows, wandering the forest surrounding Keohian's house at night, and bringing pinecones into the house to play with later. Though Ember stays with Keohian, she is still very capable as a wild fox; she is great at hunting, scavenging, and still sometimes buries killed prey for later recovery.

Co-worker (of sorts): Kastabyrn Spinel. Female Dwarf. Kastabyrn is the smithy for the Order, whom Keohian sends his finished saddle leathers to for them to be riveted and assembled; she works with the metal pieces on the products, including buckles and a metal concho with her own emblem. While she's gruff and blunt, she and Keohian are perfectly civil; they don't meet face-to-face much, but they professionally get along, respectful of each other's craft and profession. He's only ever personally visited her workshop a few times.

Draethir (Riders): Keohian is friendly with most Riders, those that choose to speak to him. Some simply drop off their items in his drop-box and choose not to speak much even when they encounter each other, and others have rather pleasant conversations with him. Some he would call friends, like Cedric, and Evander. Others, specifically Xander, does not wish to be called his friend; though he's "friendly" in his own ways (not verbally, but he does pay for Keohian's drink tab if/when the two cross paths in a tavern).

Opinions:

Keohian feels no greater luxury exists than his independent freedom. He has the freedom to choose where he goes, how he spends most of his time and days in general, and who he spends his time around. With his craft being not only extremely needed and delicate, he's compensated well for it, which allows him to make these choices of his lifestyle.

Turning a blind eye is one of the worst things someone can do; Keohian does not ignore signs of anything he feels unjust or unacceptable. Even in his work, which is often supplied by the Order when he needs it, he follows the channels for the supplies to make sure they are legit. This mainly includes his leather stock; making sure it is not sourced from someone who illegally harvests the leather just because it may be cheaper for the Order, or harder to get elsewhere due to lower stock from them. If he discovers a problem, like illegal hunting and harvesting, he reports it immediately; to the Order, and to the local Watchman for the hunting regulations. (He often keeps this on the low and tells people he trusts, so he's not always noted at the one behind the reports if just anyone tries to find out who found out.)

Significant Other Behavior:

Being flirted with, and the occasional flirting remark, is not foreign to Keohian. He has received many, and given some of his own. He has not had an actual serious relationship before (he got close once), and has only had a very small amount of relationships of any other kind (less than six).

He has flowery, honeyed speech. He uses it in normal conversation if he wants to be convincing, wants to fluster someone, or simply finds it amusing to be that way (especially if they know it's on purpose and not actually flirting). He would use this speech more and more often around someone he's interested in, trying to flirt genuinely with tricks he knows.

Giving gifts to show his affection and potential dedication to an actual partner; would start with small, courting gifts, ones that require skill but not an intense level of focus, effort, or time. The further the relationship goes, the more intimate and intense the gifts become: they take more time, more of his skill, and mean more to him and to his partner, chosen to be meaningful and connected to both of them.

Chooses nature-based pet names for his partner; bunny, sunshine, clover, flower, etc. Sometimes used to tease, especially at the beginning, but later used more affectionately.

As a serious partner, he would surprise his partner with foods; learning the foods they like, how to make them, introducing them to other foods (like ones he likes), etc. Most do not seem to consider he's a good cook until they see it for themselves (and even then some think it must be premade, or someone's in the other room [sometimes as a joke in surprise]).

Wine and chocolates as deserts for dates/romantic nights. Or, just chocolates if the wine is unwanted. (He will likely have wine himself, unless earlier in the relationship and it were to make them uncomfortable until more acquainted.)

Cuddling. A lot of cuddling. When he gets comfortable with someone, it will begin with hugs, and those hugs will become more frequent, and that will lead to cuddling. He will want to cuddle often when relaxing with his partner, feeling their weight against him, and generally holding them.

Keohian would "check in" while also bearing gifts of simple, helpful things: bringing by food, or even just snacks, ingredients, things that his partner might want to eat or might not have had time to pick up depending on their schedule/health, mental health, etc.

Giving his partner a plant he has planted and started the growth of. This plant will have been fed protective energy into the soil and roots, and will slowly diffuse the air of bad energy when it seeps out of someone. This plant would silently help his partner's well-being by helping clear out negativity from their mind. There will also be a crystal buried in the soil, which will absorb that energy and cleans it, offering that clean energy into the roots of the plant to diffuse into the air.

(Would find a partner that is significantly shorter to be absolutely adorable. He would tease them with out-of-reach things, leaning down to tease about a kiss before standing up too tall for them to be able to complete it, kissing them on the top of the head, resting his chin or cheek on their head while hugging them, lifting them up, etc.)

Kinks/Bedroom Behavior:

Keohian is a gentle man in bed, no force or foul language, no degrading phrases of terms. However, he is also sometimes teasing in bed; mentioning their sensitivity to his touch, the sounds they make, etc.

Antholagnia; flowers. Natural blooms, wild sprouts and growth, are particularly attractive to Keohian. The flowers deeper in the forest are the most attractive to him, for being more untouched, undisturbed, and unviewed; they feel more connected directly to the world, not bothered by peoples.

Aquaphilia; people swimming or posing in water. He loves to swim, and being joined would be more attractive than just watching someone else; the grace of movement and the ability to create poses you can't on land due to the weightlessness give him the vision of a slowed dance-like show that he finds arousing. (This is not limited only to naked or nearly-naked peoples; flowing clothing is just as arousing.)

Crurophilia; legs. The shape of the legs, the curve of muscles, and the potential length is attractive to him. He additionally likes if the skin is soft and smooth; though he does not judge for scar tissue.

Trichophilia; hair. Not pertaining to body hair; hair grown on the head. He finds hair to be a large show of someone's care; how they care for their hair. Not just for their appearance, but for the actual care. Long, soft hair like his own catches his attention.

Metrophilia; poetry. While he's used to ballads and song, actual poetry takes a certain kind of skill akin to song but not the same. A true display of poetry brings a physical reaction of arousal from a mental reaction he can't always detect before it happens.

Sitophilia; erotic situations involving food. Keohian brings his own love for honey into sexual situations by adding in to food-play. Licking honey off his partner, in teasing and actual sexual actions, is very arousing for him.

Having sex in the forest; deeper in the forest, where less people typically go, and places that they don't always find. He likes the feeling of the sun on his skin (or moonlight), being around the dense nature, and being open but unspotted.

Semi-public sex; not in an alley or anything, but in places less traveled (like a secret corner of a garden for example). If discovered, he would cover his partner before himself; swiftly, but calmly. He is not ashamed of his own body, but would be prepared for any hesitation, self-consciousness, or worry of dignity about being seen that his partner would have.

Leaving semi-hidden hickies would amuse him. Sometimes done on purpose, he might create a hickie where it's completely hidden or where it's partly hidden and his partner may have to try to cover it enough to keep it hidden completely.

Extras:

Keohian has a decent amount of mundane magic; he is able to move items without touching them (similar to telekinesis), "influence" items, and has recently been able to create/summon a floating ball of light that he can mentally move around for some added light in the right spot, or as a guiding element. He often uses these abilities to help clean up his workshop by influencing items to help him clean without the added effort of him sweeping physically. Rarely does he need the ball of light, given he has good night-vision, but if he's working on something detailed or sensitive, he will use it to get the best possible view of his task; or if it is a flat item, like when reading something, and shadows cannot help his vision decipher what it says.

A vibrant red fox, named Ember (by Keohian), is a pet of sorts to him. Ember found him as a kit, seemingly without a mother, and was then adopted by him. Once the fox grew to be an adult, Keohian brought her to Iskavelle, where he proved himself capable, caring, and very attached to this fox. A fauna-based magic-wielder prolonged the length of Ember exponentially; practically pausing Ember's aging process to hardly a crawl. Due to this, he will not have to lose Ember anytime soon; his very long life as an Elf will not be as lonely, with a "pet" that he will not lose for quite some time.

Keohian has attempted to give Xander Melrose one of his raised plants, specifically to help with his negativity, twice already. So far, Xander has not only refused the plant, but scoffed at it. Keohian does not intend to give up so easily, and will continue to try and offer it to the half-elf for his own well-being.

A garden containing a variety of herbs was cultivated outside Keohian's house, all types he chose and carefully created a place for them to thrive. He forages some wild berries instead of buying them, since he lives within the woods enough to be considered within the growth. He makes his own bread often, as well as other pastries, and tries to buy his ingredients and raw supplies from their source instead of stores when he can- buying from the farmers over in a market. However, other items require traders and markets to get access to, such as things grown or harvested from other lands, nations, that are brought in through merchants.

A "domestic" beehive is in the forest not far from his home, which he built and maintains himself, as well as harvesting the honey and comb from within when it gets full. With the abundance of flowers and fruiting bushes, the hive makes a natural abundance of honey, and they do not harm Keohian when he comes to remove the excess to make room. While he uses quite a lot of honey himself, he also gives away some to people he knows; rarely does he sell it, but he could if he chose to get rid of some of his stock.

Keohian has a well behind his house; he spent a long time digging it, and it is fully functional to support him.
