Now, I intend to expand on some basic elements. Here goes:

Name: Nasir (name given at birth unknown).

Birthplace: Nasir was born in the Elven city of Andura-Nagri in the land of Varathon.

Childhood: Nasir is the son of an Elven warrior named Shaia Jen-Falia, his father, and an Elven merchant named Miria Langrasi, his mother. Nasir lived a difficult childhood, losing his father at an early age (somewhere around 100 Elven years, equivalent to 4 Earth years) in a civil war between his own people, the Elves of Narsis, and the opposing Elves of Arowyn. In his young years (about 100 - 500 Elven years) Nasir supported his mother by hunting just outside of the city and collecting various animal pelts that his mother bartered so that she and Nasir could afford food and shelter. When Nasir was around 500 years old, his mother was murdered and he was exiled by the Elves of Narsis. The circumstances of these occasions are still unknown.

Training: Nasir taught himself to hunt at a young age in order to provide wares for his mother. He became skilled in the use of the bow, used in hunting small deer, and later attained proficiency in melee combat with knives, rapiers and swords in order to hunt bears and other comparable animals.

Ambitions: Nasir holds a grudge against all elves. Little is known about the reasons behind his animosity, however, one can surmise that the death of his mother and his exiled status bear some significance when determining factors regarding his personality. It would seem as though Nasir's ambition is to exact revenge upon someone or something relating to the circumstances of his mother's murder.

Fears: Nasir fears establishing strong interpersonal connections with others.

Quirks: Nasir may shuffle when walking in order to block out other sounds from miles away that he does not wish to listen to. Nasir will constantly pay attention to possessions of value, including individuals holding valuable items. Nasir carries around a deck of cards. Gambling is a habit that Nasir simply cannot resist.

Favorite Drink: Elven Wine.

Battle Cry: "I'll put your money where your mouth is."

That ought to light a few candles regarding the background of Nasir. I intentionally did not address all questions, but don't worry, that's because I am saving some for later.
