[OOC] Dystopia

[An Alt]

In a land laid waste by war, and drought, and misfortune there seems to be nothing but misery. Nothing grows anymore, the workers have abandoned the fields, most had been drafted into the army and subsequently killed in battle after pointless battle. Parents watched their children starve to death. Even the wealthiest families suffered want. In this I could be speaking of either the Dracan people, or the Gryphos people. Their plights were the same. They suffered the same and died the same. The war between the two kingdoms had been waged for generations, everyone had long since forgotten what started it, and now there was no end to it. Just war parties taking revenge on their enemies for taking revenge on them. Blood for blood for blood. Over and over, and endless circle of senseless violence.

Everyone knew that it had to stop. But no one knew how it might come about, because their hate was the only thing they had left to call their own. And that was the last thing that they wanted to surrender.

Dracan people

The Dracans are dragon shape-shifters, meaning their primary form is that of a human and secondary form is that of a dragon, and their human form bears some similarities to their dragon form (hair color corresponds to scale color and the eyes never change between the forms), they tend to be tall and strongly built, and a way of moving that reminds one of a reptile or serpent. Their society is very military-ish and status is based on physical strength and the ability to influence people through intimidation, e.g. the Dracan king or queen can be challenged at any time for the throne by anyone in a one on one battle to the death, and the winner may take the throne, though it is still common for a particular family to hold the throne for several generations, with the position being passed on to the most promising of offspring (generally the eldest male). Common folk tend to be hunters and gatherers, minimal farming but much craft and they are excellent traders of some of the finest weapons, jewelry, tools, dye, and animal pelts.

Gryphos people

The Gryphos are smaller in stature than the Dracans but by no means weaker. They are very inventive, inspired, and very artistic. They have large round eyes and at the base of their necks under their hair you can find downy feathers. As the Dracans, their human and griffin forms share similar traits such as eye color and hair/feather color. As you know, a griffin is generally depicted as being half-eagle half-lion, but in this case it can almost be any bird/feline cross, I've even seen a green parrot griffin and it looked pretty cool, and I'll go into more detail on this in the OOC's OP (if we have OOC's on this new forum… eh, I'll figure it out. Point is, this isn't the final draft.) Gryphos culture is much more agricultural, they raise many crops and animals and are expert weavers and tailors, producing the finest cloth and clothing.

Alacai people

The Alacai are fair and very elf-like, just like the others, their two forms share similarities that distinguish them. Generally flowing hair, fair skin, deep eyes, and all have a star-like mark on their foreheads where their horns would be in their second form. Their culture is surrounded in much mystery, generally they keep to themselves, only a few daring to venture out to other countries and mingle among other races, and that mostly out of curiosity. As a result of this, it is believed there are far fewer Alacai than there actually are, and they have done nothing to refute such rumors. The Alacai are also very deeply rooted in magic (which is seen as underhanded in Dracan society and more fairy-tail in Gryphos society). They are not magical as in study and casting of spells, but more in that magic is an essence which each is born with, and gives them some "unearthly" powers if you will, which differ from person to person. They are not known for trade, though occasionally you might stumble across a trinket or talisman that will bring you good fortune, and you know it must be of Alacai origin. They are known to be neutral and do not take sides.

Half breeds

Half breeds are very rare, and tend to hide themselves for shame. It is considered dishonorable for two individuals from different races to have children, and even worse for the children as they are considered something akin to a plague. However, on the rare occasion that it does happen, e.g. Gryphos x Alacai, you would not end up with a person whose second form was half griffin and half unicorn. Whichever parent gene was dominant would determine the second form of the child to be either griffin or unicorn, not both. If the dominant gene were griffin though, the individual may still display rather Alacaian aspects such as fair features or a superior intellect.

Appearance:

Human form:


Second form:

Name: Alastair Dracos

Race: Dracan

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Rank/Affiliation: Crowned Prince and heir to the Dracan throne

Personality: Alastair is cunning and precise, he doesn't like to talk much unless it's completely necessary, though he is never wrong when he does voice his opinion on a matter. He is quick to spring into action should danger present itself, and is very protective of his family, especially his younger brother, whom many see as weak and useless.

Weaknesses: Pride and his quick temper, and his siblings

Strengths: Strategy and planning, physically strong in both forms as well as agile, skilled fighter

Brief Bio: Alastair was born the second son of the Dracan king, his older brother died at a young age of unknown causes, letting the burden of the throne fall to Alastair. The Dracos line was known for being the one to longest hold the right of ruling, for no one has been able to match the skill and strength of its children. Alastair learned the art of combat at a young age, as well as reading and writing, though he was not at all scholarly. He committed himself to studying swordplay, archery, and becoming a master at wielding any weapon. He has proved his skill many times in battle, and will not hesitate to prove it once more.

Heather Blightweaver

Name: Heather Blightweaver

Race: Alacai
Gender: female
Age: 35

Appearance:
Humanish shape: Heather is slender and willowy in shape, she looks like she might blow over in a stiff breeze. She stands just over 5’ tall, but she carries herself in a way that often makes her seem taller, head always held high. Her hair is deep deep brown threaded with black and hangs past her waist, loose and flowing around her like a shawl. Her eyes are a sparkling green and generally very sharp and focused. On the middle of her forehead, like a third eye, is the silver star “birthmark” that marks her as an Alacai.

Unicorn Shape: Heather is a slim unicorn with slender legs and fine bones. Her hair is pale white, almost but not quite silver as it lacks the shine or metallic glint. Her mane, tail, and feathers on her legs are darker in color and with a soft sheen to them. Her eyes are exactly like the eyes in her human form—brilliant green and with that nearly always focused and sharp look that make it clear she is always looking and listening. Her horn has a mother of pearl iridescence which shimmers in the right light giving the illusion of a glow.

Rank/Affiliation: Winnower. Her job is to help remove the “undesirable” elements from the forest lands wherever the Alacai choose to linger. This may be something as simple as tree blight or as complicated as a raiding party. Or anything in-between. There are other winnowers but in general they work alone seeking the assistance of other Alacai only when dealing with something beyond their own individual abilities.

Personality: Heather prefers to spend most of her time alone and prefers contemplative silence rather than discussion. Around other’s she is quiet and withdrawn, rarely voicing any opinion just following whatever tasks she is given. She does, however, always pay close attention to what is said around her and watch people in a way that often makes them a little nervous. She only opens up to a few people, and only after some time of trust building. She is the sort that makes few friends but those that she does make she is very close to. Alone she behaves very different; she is extraordinarily curious and will follow her curiosity wherever it takes her, even headlong into danger. Those personality traits are what make her such an ideal winnower. She must travel, vast distances and in solitude, to perform her tasks. She is also very clever and can often figure out ways out of whatever trouble she gets into—her curiosity often outweighs her intelligence or she would have simply avoided the trouble in the first place. She has a deep connection to plants, nothing mental or spiritual but rather a scholarly understanding of just what makes a plant community thrive. She is also a strict vegetarian.

Weaknesses: a sense of curiosity that will overwhelm almost all common sense to the point of rushing headlong into danger, an all encompassing & completely overpowering fear of fire (any flame larger than a candle), physically weak in her human form

Strengths: a sense of curiosity that will often inspire her to make reckless and thus bold and unexpected moves. clever and intelligent when she chooses to be, a skill (magical if you will call it that) over plant blights—both in living and dead plants—allowing her to call or banish blight to/from the plants and plant matter such as burlap sacks, hemp rope, and cotton clothing.

Brief bio:
Heather was always a strange child, preferring to spend time just sitting in a tree or lying in a blackberry patch to anything else. She really never really made any good friends as a youngling, only once she got older and met her winnowing teacher and began spending time with other winnowers.

Her talents as a winnower were discovered early; it takes a unique personality as well as a unique talent to be a winnower. They must spend massive quantities of time alone away from the herd. In addition they must be curious enough to want to travel—not all Alacai are. Heather was perfectly suited and soon was accompanying her winnowing teacher on her travels.

It was assumed Heather’s talents gave her an ability to heal plants; but it didn’t take long to realize that was not entirely accurate. A tree, broken and shattered by a passing war party, could not be tended by her but a blight stricken fern could be saved. It took Heather and her teacher much time to discover just how she could be of use…she had the personalit and intelligence but they still weren't sure she would be suited to such a life.

It sent Heather into a fit of depression so severe that her teacher feared the young Alacai would do herself harm. Heather wandered off in unicorn shape, seeking to be alone, when she heard the oddest sounds of wails off in the distance. Her curiosity won over and she followed them and found herself in a party of dracan’s preparing for an assault on their enemies.

Heather was “captured” and held as a prisoner. They feared she would betray their presence though they treated her well enough. They did hobble her though, like a common mule, which was horribly degrading. Until that moment Heather had never seen a dracan, only heard of them. She was quite afraid, but that fear multiplied when she saw the dracan’s enter combat armed with pitch, torches, and flaming arrows.

She feared fire above all things and the terror nearly overwhelmed her. The ropes binding her, formed of hemp, crumbled and rotted and Heather had no idea why. The fear surging in her didn’t even allow her to stop and think about it. Instead she ran, galloping blindly in terror, deep into the woods.

She didn’t know how long she ran or how far. Her teacher found her three days later, exhausted, battered, bruised, and bloodied from her mindless flight. She nursed her back to health but it was still nearly a year before Heather was willing to revisit the experience an try and put it together.

Since that time Heather has become happier, chosen her name, and she has a purpose and goal in life now. Most of her work involves moving rot and blight from the forest but occasionally she takes out a strangling vine or thins the undergrowth to prevent the plants from being choked out. And rarely, very rarely, she misleads and misdirects and re-routes others who might seek to enter “her” forest.

a second character submitted for your approval or denial only if it becomes necessary that we play multiple characters

Anna

Name: Anna
Race: Gryphos
Gender: female
Age: 25
Rank/Affiliation: Handmaiden & messenger to the Gryphos princess

Appearance:
Human Form—Anna is small, just under 5 ft tall, and very slender and light of frame. Her hair is a cinnamon color and so shiny it almost looks copper, and cropped short and somewhat spiky. Her eyes, large enough to almost dwarf her face, are round and brilliant iridescent green. Under her brilliant red hair on her neck is a covering of dull olive green-gray down.

Griffon Form—Her griffon form is a melding of Hummingbird and Flat Headed Cat. She is smaller than most griffons, about the size of the feline she is derived from, but considerably larger than a hummingbird. Fast and agile in the sky the sun often shimmers and reflects off her feathers. Her feathers are brilliant iridescent green with a scarlet cap on her head. Her cinnamon colored fur blends perfectly with the green feathers though she still looks odd, what with the long beak and the quick movements, she shimmers like a jewel when she flies.

Personality: Anna is usually very quick witted and very friendly. She has an easy going nature and is very devoted to her mistress who is not just her mistress but also a friend. She has a good sense of humor, a love of all beautiful things particularly colorful tapestries, and a love of flying. In fact she almost always prefers to use her griffon form and fly everywhere. It’s just about her favorite thing ever. Her emotions burn hot and cold without warning and can be confusing to those who don’t know her well; her mistress knows her well and can weather the emotional storm without batting and eyelash now.

Weaknesses: her mistress—she is very devoted to the gryphos princess and would give her life for her if necessary or even if the princess asks. Emotional—she feels all emotions very strong and is prone to rapid shifts in emotion. Her only stability is her devotion to her mistress and she is protective or her. She trusts with too much ease, is easily consumed by envy she feels is better than her, hates and loves with equal ferocity, goes through intense bouts of melancholia which make her slow and sluggish, etc. Combat—She is all but completely helpless in direct combat and has no skill with any weapon other than to, if she is lucky and not distracted, not cut/stab/bruise/maim herself.

Strengths: speed & dexterity—she is amazingly fast, both in gryphon form and in human form she is among the top of her race. She has a maneuverability in flight that is second to none and has mastered using this speed and dexterity to her benefit. Her tactics tend to be to trick, trap, confuse, and tire. Endurance—she has a very high physical endurance, she may be small but she can go long lengths of time without rest, without stopping, and without slowing. Size—she is very small (in both forms) and this often gives her an advantage—lets her slip into and out of places with ease, loose pursuers, and hide in places no one would think to look.

Brief bio:

Anna has always been a bit unstable, her mannerisms nearly as flighty as the hummingbird itself. She is always rushing to get somewhere and when she does half the time she leaves abruptly for somewhere else. She was born to a servant in the royal Gryphos household and it was pure chance that brought her across the princess’ path. The princess need a message delivered, she tapped Anna to do it, and the rest was history. Anna was quick and efficient at delivering messages and soon she was hired by the royal household to do nothing but. As the princess needed and handmaiden and messenger, she had plenty of bodyguards but no one who could really fill a more feminine role, Anna was assigned to her.

It didn’t take long for the princess to win Anna’s trust. And that itself was not uncommon. Anna trusted everyone. But what was uncommon was that the princess never betrayed it and she and Anna grew to be friends, despite the fact they were mistress and servant. Anna is devoted to the princess, she is her first real friend. Anna occasionally wishes she could be an equal of the princess, but that will never happen and she is pretty much resigned to her fate. Usually she quite enjoys it even.

My CS

Character Sheet

Appearance:

Human - Average height, long silver/grey hair and beard. A body that was clearly once strong in his youth, but is in slow decline as he ages. His face and eyes betray his great wisdom - and also great weariness as the war stretches onwards. Wears silver and brown robes, carries a staff (not magical - or is it? Hint, hint).



Gryphon - Half European Lynx, half falcon. Lynx has silver/grey fur and blue eyes (like a Siamese cat), with black spots and tips of the ears. The tail has a 'stem' like a lynx's, but has a fan of grey feathers, speckled with black spots, spreading outwards at the end. Wings are falcon's, but far larger than a normal bird's. Silver feathers with black streaks and spots.



Name: Alata Barbatus
Race: Gryphos
Gender: Male
Age:9 61

Rank/Affiliation: Advisor (British spelling, don't judge) in the Parliament (or Council, whatever) of the Gryphos.

Personality: Old, wise, Gandalf-like figure (without the magic). Kind and gentle, but with a hidden fighting streak. Skilled healer.

Weaknesses: He has a fear of fire, because it is the primary weapon of the Dracans in dragon form. He is poor at swordplay and spearmanship (melee combat in general, except for staffmanship)
Strengths: He has great skill in healing, and usually carries around several potions or tinctures wherever he goes. He is a skilled archer, and uses his staff as a club in battle (similar to how Radagast uses his in The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug).

Brief bio: Born in a village near the capital city, he quickly rose into the Royal Court because of his healing skills and great wisdom. He is often found studying either alone or with the visiting Alacai - he is fascinated by this race, untouched by the war. Besides acting as an advisor and physician, he frequently returns to his village in search of rest and peace - and to defend it from Dracan raids. In Gryphon form, he enjoys flying between the towers of the city, but often is seen fishing in rivers and streams, or curled up in his armchair in his house - where he lives alone except for his young nephew and a housekeeper. He also occasionally acts as a spy in the Dracan's territory, using his swift secondary form to stay hidden.

Hope this was acceptable :D

UPDATE:I have decided to reveal a huge secret about him later on in the RP, in a life or death situation. Wait and see what it is

[Venom]

Apperance

Dragon

Name: River of the Crimson.
Race: Dracan
Gender: Female
Age: 30
Rank/Affiliation: The Current champion of the Blood pits, but acts as her nations solution to aggressive negotiations.(Shes an assassin.)
Personality: Callous and cold, she cares little for others, nor does she care for king and country. Whatever ensures she will see tomorrow with the hangover of the day before. On the other side of the coin, her nature makes her devoid of pride, and she only fights when she deems it, insults and physical displays do little more than register in her mind.

Weaknesses:
Though its not a true weakness, she is apathetic. The days of glory hunting long behind her, she spends a majority of her days wandering about waiting on work, to feed her rather cliche draconian trait of greed.
Bloodlust. Despite her laid back state when the sent of blood hits the air she starts to loose herself in the desire to paint the moon red. Civilians friends fade into a blur her eyes only spying their beating hearts.

Strengths: Slayer, A live of bloodshed has ensured that no matter what the situation any drop in the enemies guard will leave them eaither a corpse, or if shes feeling playful, wishing they where.

Her reputation, Even if they are not a fellow Dracan her name and bloodbaths that encircle the rumors of places she has been generally make for cheap drinks and a free place to sleep.

Brief bio:Born an raised admist the blood mist of battle, her blood line has long acted as the Hell hounds of the Dracan forces. Killing her first solider at the age 12, her first win in the underground arena at 14. Her training was not some strict regimen as many others in the armed forces, no these Dracan throw their young at one another the stronger one lives. But what at first inspired pride in her kin began to inspire fear. Unlike the practices of simply changing form for combat, She saw this as a handicap, shes was the only one of her kin to ever disembowel an enemy with her hand....Simply because she did not want to dirty her ax.
at the age of 19 she had become champion of the blood ring, but alas their was no fun to be had, Dracan cower to easily in the face of brutality. After wandering about bored she received her first formal instruction, to assassinate her kin. And without a question she set upon them, one of the few times she ever used her full force, the charred grounds remain a ashen waste to this very day.

Appearance

Name: Kateryn Savage
Race: Dracan
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Rank/Affiliation: High ranking soldier
Personality: Kateryn has a very simple view of life. She receives her orders and goes about the most immediate way to complete them. She’s lived that life style so long, she honestly doesn’t know what to do with herself if she doesn’t have some sort of order to follow. She’s quite the stick in the mud, to be honest, as the concept of humor is something that just kinda evades her.
Weaknesses: She doesn’t like change, and when things fall outside the parameter of her orders, she hesitates and becomes confused.
Strengths: Once someone is established in her mind as an ally, she is loyal without fault. When a situation challenges the overall success of a mission, she is able to quickly assess and adjust the mission to the situation to lead it to success once more.
Brief bio: When Kateryn was young, her family got in to the nitty gritty part of the war. Her parents told her time and time again to do as she was told, to always follow their orders. She didn’t take them seriously, thinking they were just being over protective, but then she learned the harshest way possible why they were so insistent. Seeing her mother being taken down by one of the enemies was a life lesson and a half that orders were never to be questioned. She also got in to the mindset that anything that threatened survival had to be eliminated as they pushed through the rest of the fight. She made her way in to the actual army rather than a militia, and due to her ability to execute orders well and to never give her superiors any lip about her orders, she rose in to the ranks, but she insisted on just being a simple soldier so to always have her orders.

Post the word Waffle in your post so I know you read the rules.

[LupusIntus]

This sounds interesting!

I will write up a CS tonight after work! :)

[Seravee]

Appearance:

Human Form

Lana stands at 5’5, a height that is neither tall enough or short enough to be considered remarkable. Her average height is accompanied by an average weight. As someone who enjoys walking, she is fit, but by no means exceptionally toned. Her skin is pale, but it darkens with any time spent in the sunlight. A handful of very light brown freckles adorn her cheeks, somehow making her round face appear even more pleasant. She has large, deep set blue eyes, and plump pink lips which seem to always be smiling. Long, white hair falls to her waist, normally without any structure, but occasionally done up in a thick braid. Her hair hides the white feathers at the base of her neck.

Gryphos Form

Even in her Gryphos form, Lana is on the small side.

Name: Lana Gryph
Race: Gryphos
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Rank/Affiliation: Crowned Princess and Heir to the Gryphos Throne

Personality: Those who do not believe that Lana is fit for the throne believe that she is “too soft” to make anything of herself. The young woman has a difficult time with pressure, and when scolded or talked down to, she never retaliates. Rather, she merely listens to the complaints, and responds without any evidence of anger or frustration in her tone. She seems perfectly content to skate by under the radar, making the people of her kingdom happy but never looking to expand. Her reasoning for such an outlook on life? Lana firmly believes that everyone, and everything, is inherently good. This is problematic for a number of reasons, and she has been taken advantage of more than once. However, most see these as the perfect traits of a caring, popular princess. She is patient, observant, and passionate, just as she always has been. Lana continues to be the same sweet child as she moves into her late twenties. She does not lie, nor does she ever choose a path that might hurt another. She always has the best intentions, and simply cannot pass up the opportunity to help another. She is goofy and clumsy, traits which humor some but annoy others. Despite all of this, it would be a mistake to label her weak. She is an incredibly passionate woman who would fight until the end for a cause she believes in, even though her preferred method is words, not weapons.

Weaknesses: Lana is quite naive, always assuming that others are good, and that everyone deserves a chance. This can make her vulnerable. She is also more concerned about the welfare of her people than herself, often causing her to make decisions that could put her own life in danger. Finally, her strong moral compass can sometimes keep her from making sense of issues that are not so black and white.

Strengths: Lana's patience and desire to find diplomatic means have ended many fights before they began. She is an excellent negotiator, and an extremely skilled communicator. Those who meet her for the first time find themselves drawn to her charm, quick wit, and optimism. She is an intelligent, well-spoken young woman. Despite her desire to choose discussion over combat, she is fairly skilled in the art of swordsmanship. She was trained within the palace at her father's request.

Brief Bio: Lana was the only daughter born to the king and queen. Shortly after her birth, the queen was informed that she would not be able to carry another child. As a result of this news, Lana was primed to be the ruler from a young age. She was taught by the best tutors, and given access to all the reading material that a future ruler might need. Her mother trained her to be elegant, and her father trained her to defend herself. Lana grew up to be a well-rounded individual, but the one thing she enjoyed most was human interaction. She loved conversing with the people of her kingdom, though her parents preferred to keep her within the palace walls. They hoped to keep the truth of the war hidden from her for as long as possible. But eventually, she found out that her people were at war. Rather than view the enemy as dangerous as others did, she grew distraught at the thought of killing others. She could not understand why the two parties could not simply come to some disagreement through discussion. It was then that she decided that she would take a more diplomatic approach when she was a leader. She began studying the art of negotiation, and did her best to make as many allies as she could before she assumed the throne.

Character-

Appearance:
Her Dragon form is of a rusty color and her body is serpent-like with two small hind legs. As a human she wears a knee-length dress with lots of ruffly underskirts.
Name: Anya Silvia Holzgrefe
Race: Dracan
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Rank/Affiliation: Royal Magistrate
Personality: Calm and rational in most situations. She can be rather harsh in chastising others, but it is only because she wishes better for them. She enjoys being in the company of knowledgeable people and finds pleasure in learning and discovery. Aside from being the royal magistrate and overseeing the general enforcement of the Monarch's laws, she is also very scholarly and hopes to one day become a favored tutor for the children of the royal family.
Weaknesses: Being aware of knowledge she cannot obtain, the cold, speedy opponents
Strengths: Battle strategies, self confidence; pretty much any situation that could require her to think things through, cooking
Brief bio: Anya was born in a fine, average family; her uncles Knights to the Royal Family. Anya's father was lost to the war, however her mother managed to keep the two of them safe. Anya's mother was able to give her a good education being one of the more popular jewelers in the region. With lot's of hard work and dedication in hopes to bring her and her mother into a better life, Anya (along with the help of her uncles) was able to land herself a powerful position under the crown. Perhaps the toughest period in her life so far was the day she had to prove herself worthy of such a sophisticated title as the Royal Magistrate. She was made to fight a highly ranked knight in his Dracan form. Anya was unsure if she could make it through the fight, and she soon ran out of stamina. If it weren't for her knowledge in strategy and defense, she very well could have died. The scar under her jaw is proof of this.

I might add another character because there are waaaay too many female to male here...

[AxeEcliptica]

I diffidently will be also. Not only because there needs to be more male characters, but because I want to have a Gryphos character.

[Seravee]

I'd like to make another character as well, but I'll wait to see if there is any critique of my first sheet.

[SanaChan]

Yea, right, and see if the admin is gonna make it back on sometime within the week...

[CLIW]

Waffles before I forget
Was gonna make a lady but I'm seeing the comments about female-to-male and it's a good point so here I go with a gentleman

Appearance:
Human- Dark brown, nearly black, slightly wavy hair down to his shoulders, with a short beard and weird light green eyes. Basically all of his clothing is made of tightly-woven plant material, and he carries a small bronze dagger as his only means of self defense. He has a scar across the bridge of his nose from a time that he startled some small animal with children and claws. He looks pretty raggedy and a bit dirty, like a mountain man or something.
Griffin- He is part osprey and part melanistic jaguar so pretty dark in color, and also kind of small in this form. The osprey probably explains why he likes fish so much.
Name: Lempo Finn
Race: Gryphos
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Rank/Affiliation: Not really any. He just kind of wanders around in the wilderness, often staying at any farming household that lets him; he'll usually do some labor for a week or two, a bit of trading and artwork, then be on his way. what i'm trying to say is he's a nomad yeah
Personality: Pretty easy to approach, and calm. He is a peace-loving person who prefers to lead a simple life (but won't say no to material comforts every once in a while). He is slow to make angry, although when he is angry he's a total mess until someone calms him down. (Hasn't happened in years.) He's open-minded, curious, and really doesn't mind eating worms or maggots if he's having a rough time. His main arty trade is pouches or bags made of fish skin, very small (easy to carry) pottery. He likes shiny things.
Weaknesses: Terrible at running. Easily tricked.
Strengths: Fishing and hunting, wilderness survival.
Brief bio: He grew up on a farm and loved it, but he very much admired the wild animals he saw at times. This silent admiration distracted him from a lot of his agricultural work, and he spent a lot of time spending a night or two out there and learning how to live. When his single mother died of disease he simply sold the farm, took some food and gear, and left, knowing he could always clean up at any time and head to civilization if he wants to.
