Description
Cai has a height of 6'0" (1.83 m), and a weight of 121 pounds (55 kg), appearing very skinny and nearly underweight. He has all the physical features that the average elf has, such as pointy ears, and his skin appears to have a slightly tan skin color. He has light brown hair, the color of wood from an oak tree, that he wears it in spikes, at a length short for an elf. His eyes are blue, appearing to be bright compared to his hair. He usually wears green, just like most elves, and he usually carries around his crystal bow, along with the crystal seed that he sings into his instruments, whenever he leaves home. He has an Elvish accent, and his voice is low, having already deepened. He is a baritone, and has a vocal range going from F#2 to E4 in his chest voice. His personality is a mix of introverted and extroverted; he likes to be social and talk with people, but he also needs some time alone. He is adventurous, and finds pleasure in seeing new places. He enjoys performing, and likes to put on street concerts with his voice and whatever crystal instrument he creates.

History
This is Cai's pre-roleplaying history. It will be expanded as his history is developed.

Infancy in the Fourth Age
Cai Grisial Cerddor was born in Lletya, Tirranwn on the 26th of Septober in the Year 1992 of the Fourth Age. He was the first of two children that his parents had together during an affair that they had for three years. His father was an archer, formerly in the military of King Baxtorian's kingdom, who had survived the Battle of Prifddinas and the Isafdar Conflicts, and then began serving in Lletya's military force. His mother was a young musician, descended from the Ithell clan, who had the gift of crystal singing, and made her living by selling crystal singing services, and holding street performances as a singer and musician, hoping for donations from elves who walked by. When he was two years old, his mother gave birth to his younger sister, Anwen. In his early childhood, he was exposed to both Elven and Commonspeak, so he ended up becoming fluent in both languages. After the affair ended, Cai's parents negotiated sharing custody of the two children they had together

Life in the Fifth Age
For Cai, the Fifth Age was the age that he grew up in. At the beginning of the age, he was in his early childhood, and at the end of the age, he was close to his adulthood.

Discovery of His Gift
When Cai was 15 years old, he began showing a pleasure for singing. One day, when at his mother's home, his mother left a crystal seed on a small table. When she wasn't in the room, Cai walked over to it and began singing in a way that began to shape the crystal. His mother came back into the room to find that the crystal seed was morphing to Cai's singing. After that event, Cai's mother began to regularly give him crystal singing lessons, along with the music lessons that she was already starting to give him, whenever she had him, to help him learn how to control what shapes the crystal morphs into. He is the only child out of the four that his mother has (Two of them would be from other affairs that his mother had) to have that gift. That crystal seed is the one that Cai sings into his instruments in the present.

Archery Training
When Cai was 38 years old, his father decided that it was time to begin teaching archery to Cai. Since he was still working on developing his crystal singing gift, his mother sang a crystal seed into a bow for him. His father began regularly giving Cai archery lessons whenever he had him.

Employment
When Cai was 138 years old, he decided that it was time for him to begin saving up money for when he would want to live on his own. He got a job as a shop assistant at a general store in Lletya.

The Sixth Age
At the beginning of the Sixth Age, at the age of 178, Cai decided that it was time for him to leave home with his possessions and money that he accumulated with 40 years of work to look for somewhere to live on his own.

Migration to Lumbridge
He had desired to see the world for his whole life, having never left Lletya because his parents didn't want him to get killed by Lord Iorwerth's army, so he traveled to Port Tyras with all of his possessions and money, managing to avoid getting attacked, and took a ship to Port Sarim. Once he got to Port Sarim, he traveled to Lumbridge, and decided that there was the place that he wanted to settle down at, because of the mild climate. Since the general store was for sale, and he had 40 years of experience with working in a general store, he purchased it and began managing it.

Trivia

 * Cai is a Welsh name meaning "Rejoice". The reason for this name could be that his father survived the Battle of Prifddinas and Isafdar Conflicts, which had very high casualties.


 * "Grisial" is a Welsh word for "crystal", while "cerddor" is a Welsh word for "musician". Those words would define Cai, since he is a crystal singer, and a musician.
