Roith
09-10-08, 02:08 AM
Name: Roith Bayraen
Age: 22
Race: Human
Hair Color: Dark Burgundy
Eye Color: Forest Green
Height: 5 feet 10 inches
Weight: 210 pounds
*Occupation:
Past Occupations - Farmer, Hound Trainer
Current Occupation - Bandit
*Personality: Most of the time he is calm and level headed, but not immune to occasionally giving in to the heat of the moment. As a child he had a violent temper, and as a result had to learn patience and self control. His past occupations only served to strengthen these two traits. He is intelligent and quick to learn but not a genius. Generally he is friendly and tolerant of people, as he lives in the gray area of morality, but that can change quickly depending on circumstances.
Appearance: Tall and strongly built, but not heavily so. He has an aura of calm confidence, but it’s subtle, and only noticeable by the trained eye. As a bandit he learned how to blend in, and becoming nondescript has become a honed skill. At first glance you’d probably mistake him for a commoner because of his simple clothing and unassuming demeanor, but his eyes are too sharp and his movements too fluid. He usually wears a bandanna to hide his conspicuous red hair, it’s less noticeable in Northwestern Salvar because it’s more common there, but almost everywhere else it sticks out like a sore thumb, something that should be avoided by thieves at all costs.
History: Roith grew up in a small fiefdom in Western Salvar, his father Laric Bayraen was a man at arms under the local lord, he was responsible for training the lord’s war hounds and managing the farms in one of the many towns located within the fiefdom. His mother, Lienna Bayraen, died from a sickness of the lungs when he was twelve. The particular town Roith’s father had charge of was named Redowin, located only 20 miles from the coast and 2 miles from the closest river. It was there that Roith learned the ways of the forests and the seas, the rivers and the earth. From a young age his father taught him swordplay, how to work the earth, and how to coax even the most stubborn of beasts into submission. His father also had tutors give him a basic education, so that one day Roith could become his successor. However, Roith had no intention of spending his life on a farm at the beck and call of an arrogant lord. So when he turned 16 he stole passage onto a merchant caravan headed for Knife’s Edge. Unfortunately, the caravan never made it, they were beset by an armed group of bandits called The Green Blades. Roith put up such a good fight they told him that he could either join them or die, and being a practical guy, he decided to take them up on their offer. He has been with them ever since.
Skills:
Swordplay - Above Average
Lock Picking - Below Average
Pickpocketing - Average
Hand to Hand combat - Average
Basic Survival Skills - Average - These are just things Roith would have learned while growing up. Since he lived in a farm/forested area near a river and was very outdoors oriented. Things like knowing how to hunt, set traps, make a fire, what where the best trees to sleep under, how to set up a tent, how to swim, how to fish, what plants were edible and which were poisonous. Mostly personal experiences that accumulated over the years he lived and explored the surrounding forests and rivers.
Basic Farm Skills - Average - Since Roith grew up on a farm, and his father was teaching him to become his successor these would include skills like knowing how to plow a field, knowing what soil is fertile and which is barren, knowing what kind of crops bring in the best prices, and which ones will sustain you through a long winter, how to build irrigation ditches, how to ride a horse and steer a cart. These are just examples but they include most of the things anyone who has to work and tend a farm would need to know how to do. ((This skill was mostly included for character background depth. It only stands to reason that he would have these kinds of skills after 16 years on a farm.))
