History: Tallask Water Hunter, of the Riverseeker clan, was always a bit of an oddity. He wasn't quite as fast as many of the other elves, and was a bit sturdier than most of his playmates as a child. His showings in the childhood races were always respectable, but not amazing. But in wrestling and boxing he was almost never beaten. His psionic abilities manifested themselves early on, often preventing his opponents even from reaching him as he struck faster than they could see, halting their advances. It is from this that he was named - Tallask, Night Strike.
He was a member of the tribe, so his acceptance was never in doubt. But he never had friends, as such - brethen, certainly, but not friends. He spent much of his time attempting to gain the affection of his companions, even going so far as to give away prized possessions he found on his wanderings, but he was largely unsuccessful.
Still, on his Rite of Passage, the entire tribe turned out, and cheered as loudly as they did for any other. It was during his Rite and the sacred race afterwards that Tallask first exhibit his psionic abilities. As he ran, his form blurred more and more as his legs bent further and further. His tribe swears that a jungle cat ran in the same place as Tallask. Tallask became more focused internally from then on, devoting himself to learning his new talents in a way that few elves could understand. His long trips as a caravan guard, and later as a caravan leader, left him plenty of time to study. He turned his abilities towards reinforcing his already burgeoning skills in combat. Other tribesman might beat him in a fair fight, having studied pure fighting styles, but when Tallask's psionic abilites were allowed, he usually won handily.
He travelled widely with the water caravans, and, rare among the elves, developed some friendships among the other races in the cities he visited. His willingness to add extra gifts to the deals, as well as the fact that he often entered the city alone, rather than in a "pack of thieves" gained him a small reputation as a desired trader. His men were usually happy as well, as Tallask made it a point to share a meal with his crew each time a caravan left, as well as once every three days on the journey. His meals were good, and his ale was free, and he developed something resembling friendships, though they were still not the bonds he suspected other elves felt for each other.
On one of his journeys into Tyr, Tallask chanced to visit the gladiator arenas. While he was there, he was captivated by one of the female gladiators, a half-elf named Ayla. He also sympathized with the shunning she received from the other gladiators. In a typically elven decision, he immediately decided to purchase her, and within two days, they were lovers. She has ridden with Tallask for nearly two years now, riding a Crodlu Tallask purchased for her. He doesn't treat her the way other races do, and accepts her as she is (though he still considers her a lesser creature, and does not allow her to enter elven camps), and her devotion to Tallask fills a void he has felt for quite a time. He has dailiances with other women on occasion, but his natural aloofness limits those greatly. He has also begun to train Ayla in the psychic arts, and she seems to exhibit some small skill.
Tallask still travels with his caravans, taking occasional breaks to hunt and train. He and Ayla make a fair living, as Tallask is a fair 'Van leader, and can defend his wares if need be. His travels allow him to locate psychic training from many different mentors as well. He collects minor psionic items, and has developed a fair collection of them. He is always looking to add more to his treasury. Tallask has little wealth at any time - he is a firm believer in the elven philosopher of living in the now, and typically buys the best foods, drinks and items he can afford, lavishing Ayla with gifts as often as he can.
