EXP: 2,500
GP: 18500
History:
Reever is perhaps the last of the giant otters. His race is that unknown to most people, and the otters used to like it that way. Then one day an evil sorcerer came and imprisoned the giant otters in an underground lair, where they toiled for hours digging underwater tunnels to various places. Reever was around 20 when they were imprisoned, and had always tried very hard to escape, but always failed. Then one day all of his people rebelled against the sorcerer. Most of them died, but a few escaped and fled in different directions. Reever (Reev for short) Fled to their old village, and found to his dismay that it had been ruined by thieves. He found his old javelin and sling and stonepouch, along with some meagre supplies, and set out to find another place to live. He hopes to oneday track down the rest of his species, but for now, he lives among others.
Appearance:
Reev looks like a giant otter (which is what he is.) He normally walks on his hind legs, like a human, and can run like that as fast as any human, but if he wants to go really fast he runs on all fours. His fur is brown, except for his stomach which is white fur. His clothing is short leather pants and a leather jerkin. These he chose because they do not hinder his movement.
Skills:
Reev is of average intelligence for a giant otter, which is to say he is a good deal smarter than most humans. He can read and write and all that (and has thumbs, by the way) and is very smart. Reev's time spent in the sorcerer's underwater caves have improved his eyesight to be quite good. He can see roughly as well as an elf in light or dark, which is good because most of his attacks are ranged. He can jump almost as high as his own height (about six feet) and uses this to do his only special move.
The move is more to get away from an adversary than to attack them. He jumps up in the air and bounds of any nearby trees, pillars or walls, moving parallel to the ground. Reev can bound off things maybe 4 to 5 times before his legs get to tired and he has to go back to the ground. Obviously, Reev is an incredible swimmer (being an otter and all) and also has lots of nautical knowledge. When he runs on all four feet he runs a bit faster than your average human, and on just his hind feet about the same as a human. He can hold his breath for 10-15 minutes, depending on whether he is swimming, or just sitting underwater.
Reever can throw his double-tipped javelin a good distance, with very good accuracy. He also has excellent accuracy with his sling and stones. The sling works where he places a rock in the pocket, whirls it around and then releases the stone at a high velocity, hard enough to crack someone’s skull. He can also use a rock in a sling as a weapon. This works much like a blunt flail would, and Reev can counter sword/ other blade attacks with the rock to a certain extent.
Reever's learned ability for level 1 is the use of blades. Throughout his travels he has acquired 2 short swords as well as a rapier, and is progressing with all. The 2 short cutlasses have become Reev's favourite weapon, and his skill with them is advancing especially quickly.
Items:
Reever has his coin pouch, his clothes (short leather pants and leather jerkin), a broad leather sword belt (in case he ever wants a sword), a travelling pack he wears on his back, a waterskin, and some food.
Level 1 weapons...
Sling and Stones
Trakym and delyn double tipped javelin
Damascus cutlasses, 1'6" each (x2)
Short pants and Jerkin made from scale of large beast
Whip made from scale of large beast with delyn spike
Damascus woodaxe
Vlince cloak (dark green)
Magic:
The magic of the Giant Otters is ice, water, and earth. Reev cannot yet do anything with earth, but is proficient with water and ice. He can freeze water, and melt ice in the blink of an eye. Not a lot of water, obviously. For example, he couldn’t freeze a small pond, or thaw out a small pond. But, he can freeze/melt some. He can do this to about 10 gallons of water. Reev can also move water. If he was nearby to a pond, he could make it look like there was an invisible fountain, spouting water up. He could also freeze a puddle of water, while moving it, to make a nice-looking ice sculpture. Reev’s final ability with water and ice is to conjure it. Much the way others could conjure a fireball, Reev can conjure a water or ice ball, and shoot it at someone. He has not yet found a use during a fight for any of these abilities, but hopes to soon.
Reev's ability with water and ice is advancing. He can now conjure up to 15 gallons of water, and manipulate/freeze that same amount. Along with this he can "superfreeze" water, as well as harden ice. This makes the ice as strong as steel, and unmeltable, unless of course Reev or someone with similar powers decided to melt it.
Reever has finally acheived some powers with earth magic. He can now condense rocks. This causes the rocks to explode on impact, causing something along the lines of a small frag grenade, except without the explosion. This comes in handy for Reev with his sling.
Familiar: Large male golden eagle, named Bane. Reev and other non-human creatures who are sentient may understand his speech, if roughly. Great friend to the otter.
