Name: Tordek Bentanlornam, "Tordek Calmstandards"
Age: 49
Race: Dwarf
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 4'3"
Weight: 240
Occupation: Miner/Carpenter/Planter

Personality: He is rarely discouraged. He is rarely happy or enthusiastic. He is wary of crowds. He finds rules comforting. He only grumbles mildly at incliment weather, and prefers to work indoors.

Appearance: The dwarf miner wears a thick suit of pig tail cloth (detailed below), and often carries a small amount of carpentry tools (Hammers, nails, so forth) on his belt. He also has a copper pick, one that he does his primary profession with: Mountain remodeling.

History: Tordek was a member of the Revered Torches of Burning, but was eventually motivated- by the allure of the dwarven women- to go out into the world beyond his home fortress. He eventually found himself in a fairly nice area, and decided to settle back down in a new land. One he promptly named "Boatmurdered" in the tongue of the humans, simpletons that they are.

Skills: Tordek is a competent miner, capable of digging out a fair amount of rock in a single day. He is also a novice carpenter, but time has allowed him to construct what little furniture he needs. Tordek is an adept grower, capable of providing for himself (and others, if need be). Generally, he has a pretty decent green thumb, and knows how to keep the mushroom garden healthy enough to feed about a dozen or so people a month (maybe more, with some extra help). With his pick, he's fairly above average in a fight. Seeing as it isn't a combat weapon, however, he tends to try and avoid an unnecessary fight which, for a dwarf, is almost never. He won't be killing any armies, but he can certainly handle the odd kobold or goblin that decides to pop up for a quick meal of Dwarf Minot.

Equipment:

Boatmurdered: Little more than a partially-underground shanty mined out by Tordek's skill, the underground home is constructed into the side of an inactive volcano in the middle of the forest. A twenty foot deep entrance hall, five feet in width and height, branches off into the four rooms Tordek lives in. A food storage area holding three barrels of dwarven ale and his Plump Helmets, a five-by-five bedroom, a small storage area for wood, and a small dining area with a tiny wooden table and four small chairs. For guests, you understand.

Copper Pick: Tordek's pick has two purposes: Digging ore and digging through skulls!

Plump Helmets and Plump Helmet Seeds: Thirty of these large underground mushrooms fill part of Tordek's underground mountain hovel. They're quite large, and the 'shrooms are pretty good even when they're raw. It can get a bit tiring to eat the same food, but Tordek doesn't complain.

Pig tail clothing: Pig tail, another underground plant, is capable of being woven into a thick suit of clothing. Well insulated, pig tail cloth consists the entirety of Tordek's outfit. From shoes to cap, they keep the masculine dwarf from the elements.

Hi there and welcome to Althanas! I'll be going over your profile with you and asking for any necessary changes to help you better fit into our world.

Skills - what exactly do you mean by 'adept grower'? Is he good at farming? With your competent miner skill, I don't want to see you digging twenty feet into a mountain in one day. Also, you mention he uses his pick for more than just digging, perhaps you would like to give him a skill listing with this weapon? He can be Above Average with its use in battle.

Just Edit in the fact that he's 'Above Average' with his pick in battle and you'll be good to go.
