Appearance

Jared's small number of years is clearly visible to even the most inattentive observer. His skin is clean and of medium complexion, his hair's dirty blond and of medium length. The man's typical facial expression is a rather grim looking one, but it is up to debate if this is merely due to the natural tension and arrangement of his muscles. Jared's build is not that muscular, but to call him weak would be off base. After all he somehow has to move about eight feet of body around due to the giantism condition inherited from his father.

Personality

Jared can be considered an introvert, but that's more of a deliberate choice than instinctive behaviour. He can do otherwise if he's sure that the topic is not going near the things about himself he wants to hide. This also makes him appear rather thoughtful, frequently weighing his words before giving his mouth the order to speak them out and thereby causing delays in dialogue. He usually is friendly, willing to pay for a round as long as he can afford it (which is not very likely given his current situation). He's not yet a hunter and given his familiy's history comparably open minded when it comes to witches, but on the other hand he's clever enough not to put his head too far above the parapet when he's among people looking like hunters.

History

His father was Andri Hymir, the hunter that managed to blast himself into eternal shame by doing something the vast majority of hunters considered treason and relocating to the Bloodrose coven. Many still do, but that's reduced to academic interest because Andri died about fifteen years ago. He disappeared from the scene decades earlier though - after the destruction of Castle Bloodrose he had nowhere left to go except self-elected exile.

Being his son explains Jared's interest in noone knowing his true origin and living under a false name. Interestingly though he made the decision to come back very near the place where everything had started a long time ago: The ruins of the castle, said to be haunted, shielded him from snoops and undesired civilians for most of his life. Now however he has a rather big problem: The witches are back - and with them the hunters.

What he didn't expect though was the precarious location of his home coming to befall him so early in the upcoming struggle. Was it the witches' presence or a rogue, random event after many years of nothing that made the gnomes attack his home near the mountain ? The question is quite academic. Having lost a lot, Jared had to relocate to Seren's Folley very recently. He now is stuck in the middle of a hive of hunters, but he's not yet sure if he wants to join their cause or try otherwise. The village has been his first choice because, unlike a certain castle, it doesn't lie in ruins but at least can offer a bit of comfort. As long as he can afford it...

Signature weapon

His father has left Jared with a number of items, some of them originating from his time with the old Bloodrose Coven. Among them was his suit of armor. While it is imbued with magic, Jared lacks the ability to actually invoke it. For him it is an ordinary piece of equipment although of superb quality and made of materials looking a bit atypical. Part of it are two almost identical staffs comprised of ironwood, leather and a minor amount of metal for reinforcement. One could claim that such a blunt weapon's effectiveness is inferior to that of a real sword of equal size, but on the other hand they can hit and knock out the enemy without spilling much blood or used for strangling. After all he looks more like some sort of silent killer, doesn't he ?

Pets / familiars

None, except maybe for the horse he used to escape from his farm when it was overrun.

Things he looks for in a partner

He currently has other priorities - restoring his former life and securing his own future, for example. That doesn't mean that he'd not be open to being approached though.

Vanya, Verya,... had the world silently started to resort to a regular expression consisting of a 'V' at the beginning, an 'ya' at the end and two random alphanumeric symbols in the middle in order to find names for incarnate disappointment ? An-Hasst's will to clean up the aftermath of this swamp excursion had been borderline before, but now he refused to do it at all. It didn't bother him much - the stuff would dry and the solid remains detach by themselves, it would just be a matter of time and if there'd be another source of dirt in their way he'd be the only one not having wasted time.

The Skayleigh closed his eyelids  - so he could roll his eyeballs behind them without anyong noticing. Settionne, again, deployed his bewildering array of softened up, well chosen words in order to make a first impression. The question was if it would work this time. According to An-Hasst's internal opinion it would not. Verya, judging by the woman's tone, appeared to be quite used to the military and thereby would likely be more interested in hard facts than anything else.

However the giant didn't get very far with his attempt to finally hatch out some sort of retaliation plan. He was considering 'accidentally' stepping onto the man's foot when Alice, without knowing, saved it from this rather crushing experience by doing something An-Hasst instantaneously considered to be even more... intriguing. "I'd like to apologize for these words." he spoke up, speculating that him being a Skayleigh could net him some sort of bonus because it partially made him a wood elf himself. Of course it could be that the opposite thing would happen, but since when did An-Hasst have talent for excellent manners ?

Slowly he stepped closer towards Alice, approaching her from the right and from behind. "Why are you referring to your 'old dormitory' ? Was it a rotten collection of beddings stenched with a plethora of body fluids and an already self-compressing layer of dead flies on the window ledges ? Or did your memory just suffer a momentary glitch that made you forget about this swamp we just came from before making this comparison ?" His voice was enhanced with enough sarcasm to indicate that he wasn't entirely serious about what he was saying.
