Specter Windblade aka Specs

Specter Windblade was born into a military family. His father took note of his apparent innate skills with blades at a young age, and pushed him into mastering elven curve blades. His father expected Specter to follow in his footsteps as a soldier, but Specter wished to see the world and explore its wonders. His father was taken aback by this sudden decision but he decided to honor his son's wishes. He presented Specter with an elven curve blade he had ordered crafted for him and gave him his blessings.
Since that day Specter has wandered the world as a mercenary, employing his skills wherever he feels is the most needed. He prefers to be called Specs due to it being a nickname his younger sister called him since he felt his full name had a darker ring to it than he liked.

I just wanted to verify your race. If you are not elven you would need to have the exotic weapon prof feat to use that blade. Also if your not an elf make up a reason why you use this blade over the more traditional.

To be fair to the other players, even though it was a gift, it would still come out of your starting gold.

yes my characters race is elf. and yes i did factor the cost into my starting gold
