Well, you said full character sheet. Here he is. [u]Name[/u]: Cricket [u]Age[/u]: 17 (though he looks younger) [u]Race[/u]: Sheikah [u]Appearance[/u]: Cricket is of average height and lean, with thick white hair and tawny skin. His eyes are his most striking feature, red and very expressive, with three triangles tattooed above and a teardrop tattooed below his left eye. His style of dress is distinctive, combining elements of Kokiri and Sheikah attire, mostly colored black with an extra scarf-like bit around his neck that acts as a half mask when necessary. Cricket’s ears are pierced in three places each with small, simple gold rings. A brown hooded cloak covers most everything. This is good because he is generally covered with knives of various sizes, including two particularly large and nasty ones, very similar to Sheikah kodachi. The last two are worn openly. [u]Stats[/u]- Hearts: 3 Strength: 4 Magic: 1 [u]Inheritance[/u]: Magic Boomerang – At this time, capable of stunning enemies and retrieving objects. Fast movement, long range. Always returns to Cricket, regardless of those pesky laws of physics. As he gets better acquainted with the item, upgradable abilities may include manipulation of flight path, attacking multiple targets in one throw, and spontaneous generation of three such boomerangs. [u]Inventory[/u]: Kodachi (2), Knives, various (8), Deku Nuts (20), Fiddle (in case), Traveling rations, Canteen [u]Rupees[/u]: 50 [hider=History & Bio] Cricket was born into a clan of Sheikah, living in secrecy in the forests near Kokiri lands. The two peoples were more than a little wary of each other at first, but over time they came to be allies. The Kokiri helped them adapt to the ways of the forest and attune their skills to their new environment, and in return the Sheikah defended their forest and taught them the ways of stealth and martial prowess. In these hard times, sadly, even the innocent must take up arms from time to time. As generations passed, the two cultures diffused, resulting in a more forest-running and musical clan of Sheikah, skilled in the use of Kokiri tools in addition to their own. Deku staves became an easy to make and use weapon alternative, and deku nuts became a staple product. Cricket himself is rather musically inclined. He is adept with the harp, flute, and has particular talent with the fiddle, which he takes with him when travelling. Martially, he is skilled with one-handed, sharp objects, preferring speed and stealth to larger, slower blades. He has become quite proficient with Deku Sticks, using them in the same manner as rattan staves, as well. His main talent in combat, however, is thrown weapons. Growing up with the Hero’s own boomerang, he trained with it from an early age. Throwing other weapons, or improvised weapons, came very readily to him. Knives, spikes, deku nuts, even rocks from the ground are deadly effective in his hands. Like most of his clan, Cricket was trained to be a stealthy agility monster. He stays to the shadows when possible and out of close range unless absolutely necessary (or they don’t know he’s there). Cricket does not block, he dodges. He does not parry, he attacks the weapon. If the bad guy must be taken out, and there is no diplomatic solution available, he prefers it to be quiet, decisive, and in their sleep. His clan has won many battles this way, even before the enemy was aware a battle was taking place. Also, like many in his clan, Cricket is an accomplished acrobat; enough to incorporate elements into combat. Now, about his name - For some odd reason, crickets seem to like him. He will often walk out into a clearing in the dead of night, sit down, and play short chirps rhythmically on his fiddle. A truly remarkable chorus of the little guys respond, creating an awe-inspiring nocturnal symphony. He is rarely without one or two on him, who appear to know when he needs to be quiet. They seem to take care of themselves. It is unknown why this phenomenon occurs, or if he has some kind of unconscious control over them. Regardless of why, it has served no actual practical purpose thusfar, aside from being fairly impressive and a little creepy. It earned him his public name. His birth name revealed only to his clan, maybe a trusted few. Fun facts: Cricket rarely speaks, preferring to communicate with hand gestures, facial expressions, and occasionally his music. It’s a shame, he has an angelic singing voice that few outside of his clan ever hear. He is multi-lingual, being familiar with Sheikah, Hylian, Ancient Hylian, and Sheikah hand signs. Further, he does possess a trace of Hylian in his bloodline, brought into his family by the very ancestor who passed down the Boomerang. Cricket received a calling; a bit of wanderlust, if you will. Among his own people, he is just now considered an adult, and as such is allowed to explore the wider world. He is compelled to walk the path of the Hero, such as it is in this day and age, even if the means to the ends aren’t always that heroic (in the classical sense). He believes that there is a great future ahead of him, so long as he follows these compulsions and gut feelings. Curiosity as to where this takes him next drives him forward. [/hider]
