Character Background

• Umlingo is an Ukhuni Elf:
He grows up in a hidden elven community, Umndeni. In order to escape a toxic father, Umlingo is forced to kill his parent and flees. The young elf finds himself living on the outskirts of Saunders Village. While living on the streets, Umlingo becomes well adverse in thievery. Eventually, the villagers grow tired of the elf's mischief. Umlingo must leave the village in search of a safe home. During his travels, Umlingo hears a group of Sindre Dwarves discuss a rare treasure only found in the underground city of Podzemley Gorod. As events turn towards the worst, Umlingo is imprisoned by a Sumerki (Twilight) Elf. While under the noblewoman's captivity, Umlingo feels devastated. Despite his attempts to escape, the Ukhuni is no match for the Sumerki's trained magic. In a desperate call for release, Umlingo attempts to kill himself with his chains. Yet, the call of a Teufel (Devil) brings Umlingo a new offer. Hageleis insists on assisting the elf's escape. In turn, Hageleis demands that the favor be repaid by his own liberation from his icy prison in Pandemonium. Umlingo agrees upon the devil's terms; but also begs to forget his painful past. Hageleis assists him in repressing the memories while sending Umlingo to another continent. As time passes, Umlingo learns more of his Zauberer (Warlock) abilities. Although he needs more mastery, the elf can release magical blasts, and summon a fiend familiar.

• Core Relationships:

Twin brother: Ihlahti

As a child, Ihlahti was Umlingo's only age-appropriate companion. The two lived with a controlling father. Their mother died during childbirth. Even to the present, Umlingo never knew if his father blamed them for her death. The twins were often locked inside of their home. Despite being told to study, Umlingo and his brother would often tell each other stories; further, believing that narration was the best method to learn about the world. Umlingo respected and loved his brother. Once Ihlathi fled the home, his brother felt a pang of betrayal. Umlingo wished that his brother would have left with him. Later, the Ukhuni Elf reasoned that Ihlathi thought it would be harder should both of them try to escape home.

A Sindre Dwarven Bard: Nyr
The dwarf is the positive father figure that the Ukhuni Twins lacked. Nyr shares his knowledge of Andoria with the two boys. He teaches Umlingo and his brother how to speak in the Sindre tongue. The old bard prefers to teach history and tales through song. His creativity and positive energy has a lasting affect on Umlingo's love of bard culture. When Nyr is killed by Umlingo's father, the young elf is devastated beyond disbelief.

Mystikka Love: Laululintu
Once Umlingo reaches Jalokivi, he becomes intrigued by the folk he has never seen before. The Mystikka are created from the Teufel and thus have hellish features: from horns to tails and skin of various hues of reds, blues, purples, and even black. Of the matters of the heart, Umlingo falls in love with one Mystikka in particular. Laululintu is a bardi (bard). Initially, Umlingo cannot communicate with her and laments being unable to know what song she sings. Yet, through the elf's connection with his Schirmer, Umlingo can speak to her in the devil's tongue. Apart from their own language, the Mystikka can speak the language of the Teufel's living in Pandemonium. Laululintu offers to teach Umlingo her language in return, he would teach her common speech. The Ukhuni feels uncertain about being a teacher, but agrees upon her request. Eventually, she insists on him playing with her bardi troupe. Umlingo agrees with an eager heart. She teaches him how to play songs on a pan flute. Overall, Umlingo's love for Laululintu seems surreal. Yet, his pleasant experience ends in a vision of fire. He receives a premonition of Laululintu burning to death. The elf assumes that his debt to a Teufel is at fault. Reluctantly, Umlingo leaves his "Laulu" behind to fulfill his quest. He vows to return to the love of his life.

Character Personality Through Key Moments

Positive Moments:

1: Helpful

Before Amnesia: Despite being a rogue, the elf has a strong heart. Umlingo is known to steal for survival. Additionally, when he finds himself lucky enough to steal valuables, the Ukhuni tends to share with misfortunate children. While approaching the Riverwood bridge, Umlingo finds a child. The young boy demands payment for crossing the bridge. Of course, Umlingo could refuse. However, he pays the child with a stolen bracelet from frivolous mayor's home. The boy beams and 'allows' the elf passage into town.

2: Sociable

After Amnesia: Umlingo may not recall his much of his old rogue desires. Yet, the elf is soon able to recover his sociable self. While living on the shores of the Skina Aehir, Umlingo befriends a Sindre Dwarf by the name of Fiskarinn. The dwarf had helped the Ukhuni who washed up on the beach with a gash in his arm. Umlingo easily readjusts into a new home while assisting the old dwarf with household chores. Umlingo's good nature is more easy to see when he is not drawn to theft. Even when the elf must leave FIskarinn's home, Umlingo regrets stealing a dagger and map from the old dwarf.

Negative Moments:

1: Easily enamored with people:

Before Amnesia: While in Podzemley Gorod, Umlingo finds himself in a tricky situation. As a stranger and outsider, Umlingo should be more guarded against potential threats. Despite doubts of trust, Umlingo finds an agreeable friend in the Sumerki, Skrytvor. The two plan a heist in which they would target one of the city's major families. During practice, Umlingo finds the Sumerki pleasing to work with. Yet, the Ukhuni will learn that fellow thieves are not to be trusted. In turn, Umlingo's fascination with Skrytvor leads him to a path of betrayal.

2: Oblivious and lacks concentration:

Throughout his life, Umlingo struggles with a poor attention span. In his youth, the elf's father would chastise him for not being focused during studies. While Umlingo ages, he must remind himself to pay attention to whatever he is doing at the moment. There are moments when Umlingo would blurt out what he thinks without realizing he did so. For instance, when plotting to steal a fish, Umlingo tells himself to not be distracted. Yet, his thoughts slip out loud and are heard by an old woman. At first Umlingo thought the other was able to gaze into his mind. On the contrary, the elf is disappointed by drawing unwanted attention to himself.

Deer Country Attributes

• Canon Powers: Einfrieren (Freeze), Zauber Welle (Sorcery Wave), Vertrauten beschworen (Summon Familiar), and night Vision (a natural racial perk).

• Blood Type: Pale Blood

• Omen: Fox

• Blessed Day: April 15th: Umlingo's true birthday is October 15th. However, in the spirit of rebirth, Umlingo's new birthday will be in the spring.

• Patron Pthumerian: Moss King: Umlingo at the moment does not recall his original patron. Yet, once he remembers Hageleis and his previous engagement with the Teufel, Umlingo will not be too fond of having a second patron.

• Blood Power Manifestation: Visions and Dream Walking. He may receive visions, but may not be able to impart them onto others. I do plan to give him some of his original abilities. Therefore, Umlingo's blood powers cannot be overwhelming for the course of his venture in Deer Country. As for Dream Walking, the ability may seem unusable since He doesn't require sleep. Yet, requiring a transient state for rest would make Dream Walking likely.
