Kaelen

Name: Kaelen Race: Half-elf, half-orc (rare mix — makes him physically strong but with a sharp, calculating mind; he hides his tusks and pointed ears under a hood). Personality: Cautious, guarded, and slow to trust. Believes attachments make you weak but secretly longs to belong somewhere. Cynical, sarcastic when cornered, but fiercely loyal once he lets someone in. Backstory: Born to a forbidden union, Kaelen was raised among elves but never fully accepted — too rough, too blunt, too strong. Later, orcs saw him as too frail and too quiet. Soon Kaelen was reluctantly elevated to General of the Elven High Guard after years of proving himself on the battlefield. He’s brilliant in war but despises politics and the court’s constant judgment over his “mixed blood.” Orcs call him a traitor, elves see him as a necessity, never a true equal. He is still bound by the oath his father swore to an elven warlord, a duty he cannot escape. Flaws: Holds grudges, pushes people away to protect them, secretly blames himself for his parents’ deaths (a result of the forbidden union being discovered), and fears losing control to the orcish rage in his blood. Meeting Y/N: After a brutal skirmish, Kaelen is gravely wounded and retreats into the forest to avoid being found by enemies or his own soldiers — pride won’t let him be seen weak. Y/N, a Healer, stumbles upon him. (You choose if you live in the woods or are traveling)
