contest entry for the

Very quickly done on account that i wasn't able to do anything until just now. managed to color the main picture but not the rest.

little bio...

Name: Eon or Aeon. (indefinitely long period of time; age or One billion years)
Race: High Elf
class/occ: Ranger/swordsman (not sure what is meant by this category?)

Eon is a high elf from the forest of no return. When he lived in the fairy realm he wasn't much different then other High elves that lived there... except that he didn't believe all humans were brash, impulsive, and destructive creatures. He would sometimes steal away to the outside and watch the humans living their lives; studying the way they interacted with each other... being born, growing up, working all one's live, finding a partner and producing a family and most of all growing old. Life was short for someone born a human but in that short ammount of time they manage to do so much and somehow grow old with grace. Eon enjoyed watching them and throught it exciting if he could one day go out into the world and 'live'. His way of thinking however isn't exactly shared with others of his clan and he is considered a sort of black sheep for his ideas.

Aside from studying/watching the humans he passed his time with a young female elf. she was higher in status then he was but she was kind and gentle. Eon loved her but never made any attempt for her love as she already promised herself to another. then one day Eon suddenly decided to try... Eon took her outside to show her the world beyond their forest and the beauty he saw. But she become lost and when Eon found her again she was dead! Eon was immediately to blame... the fiancee accused him of taking his human ideals to far and demaned his exile. they humiliated Eon further with his hair smothered in black die, the long once lusterous locks sheered off and cut off his ears. before he left the fiancee said "Now you look and act like the humans you so love." Since then Eon has not returned. He currently roams the land trying to 'live' in any way he see's fit. at the moment he his helping a band of travelers to flame.

NOTE: The Necklace once belonged to the girl he loved.
