Basic Information
Name: Tytanus Aka 'Little Ty'
Age: 25
Race: 'Midget' as some of the big folk like to say
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Height: 6”
Weight: 1 pound, 15 ounces
Occupation: Messenger, Animal Doctor
Personality
Tytanus is a fairly quiet reserved person. He is polite and likes to keep conversions short and respectful. Ty does enjoy learning new things and making discoveries, but also is a very careful and methodical person which has saved his life by keeping in check his curiosity.
Appearance
If you took a human and shrunk him down to six inches, that would be a midget as humans sometimes call his race. His appearance is rather plain, black hair, eyes, light brown skin. There's a long scar running across his back although it's hidden normally beneath his shirt and armor. His overall build is a bit on the lean side despite his strength and speed.
History
Since life goes by quickly and midgets die all the time due to animal attacks, not much history is kept. However, it seems Tytanus birth was slightly unusual since most people seem to avoid getting too close to him and he has heard a few dark rumors going about. Still, his father treats him just as the rest of his brothers and sisters. Also, Ty has made enough friends that he couldn't care less about the rumors.
For most folk, you are born into a family and you just pick up the family's occupation or else try to apprentice to another if that is more suited or desired. In Tytanus's case, he fit into the family's trade of messenger almost too well. He enjoyed going with his family on delivery routes and learned to communicate with animals almost from birth like his most of his siblings. In terms of weapon training, Tytanus always enjoyed the ranged arts more and rose to become one of the best, if not the master marksman in his family. However, due to his focus in ranged weaponry, most of his family can easily beat him in melee combat. But in practice matches, it rarely happens anyone can force Tytanus into melee combat due to his unnatural speed. This speed seems linked with some of the rumors since he always been far faster than anyone once he learned to move on his feet.
At his fourteenth birthday, his family decided that he had enough experience to do solo deliveries. Unlike most messengers, Tytanus decided not find lifelong animal partner and instead travel by himself or hitch a ride with the local animals. Over time, it seems that this decision has resulted in slower deliveries than most of his siblings however, he isn't restricted to certain regions.
Skills
Spearman – When you are only half a foot tall, even bugs, rats, and other small animals can be a serious threat especially if they are hungry. For close ranged combat, "Little Ty" has become skilled at using a spear due to years of survival experienced.
Marksman – It's always better to take care of things from a distance especially large creatures. Tytanus has always enjoyed practicing ranged weapons and has become almost a legend among his tribe for his amazing accuracy.
Animal knowledge – Ty is very knowledgeable about animals, bugs, and insects. He knows their habits, how to treat their injuries, and get along with them in most cases.
Plant knowledge – Being constantly on the move to deliver messages, Tytanus knows about which plants are good to eat, which ones can be made into poisons, and other uses.
Reading/Writing – Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to read and write so it's important that Tytanus can read and write letters in case either the sender or receiver needs help with the letters.
First Aid/Surgeon – Due to his occupation, being able to fix up his own wounds or an animal companion's is very useful. Ty knows how to patch up and perform basic surgery. Having small hands helps him get into places and do fine repairs that are tough for humans. However, he is not an expert and never had any formal training.
Languages – Due to his traveling around as a messenger, Tytanus has learned all the common languages of the major countries. This includes written and oral.
Stealth - Although Tytanus isn't exactly well trained in stealth, it doesn't take an expert for a midget to be able to hide himself from humans not looking for a small person. In tall grass, it becomes basically impossible to find Ty unless a person is actively hunting for him.
Poisons – While a normal weapons might do fine against smaller animals, poisons are really Tytanus only defense against larger foes and the “big folk”. He knows how to make some common ones and how to handle them safely. However, poisons can be a double edged sword since the amount used to affect larger creatures would be even deadly for him.
Ranger – While Tytanus has never been formally taught, he has learned basic survival skills like gathering and preparing food, finding or making a shelter, tracking, and making sure an area is safe enough from wild predators.
Abilities
Animal Connection – Tytanus like many of his tribe has a gift with understanding and communicating with animals. In Ty's case, he can connect with animals to see or hear through the animal's senses. Unfortunately, linking with an animal means he almost completely loses the ability to move his main body although he still can sense things around it. Additionally, if he returns completely back to his main body, he will be dazzled for a bit leaving him open to attack.
Air Magic
Wind Blast – Tytanus can create small blasts of wind. To an average human, it would probably be equal to someone doing a light punch. Ty can also use all his magical energy at once and create a very strong wind blast capable of knocking an average person off his feet. However, the wind is rather spread out so it doesn't do much damage other than the person landing on their back. Additionally, it leaves Ty very exhausted physically causing him to move slower for the next ten or so minutes until he can recover.
Wind Walker – By carefully using wind blasts, Tytanus can use them to propel himself to better avoid attacks, move faster, and jump up large obstacles.
Perception – Staying alive is hard with big animals and humans that are capable of crushing you in a single footstep. But like many small creatures, midgets have exceptional senses that let them hear, see, smell around 50% better than an average human.
“Speedy” – Midgets are generally faster than people might expect for their size. However, Tytanus is on a completely different level and can keep pace with a normal human male. It has led to some rumors of dark magic, mother mating with a demon, and other nasty reports. But for the most part, the other midgets just keep their distance unless sending off a letter which he has proven to be one of the better messengers.
Weaknesses
Weak Body (compared to a normal human)
Strength - Midgets are strong for their size. Tytanus is capable of lifting about five times his weight or around 10 pounds. However, any normal human would find him really weak compared to them.
Toughness - His body may be tougher than most midgets especially with his hard life. However, he would stuffer serious damage if a human stepped on him. A punch would probably have the same effect.
Equipment
*Spear – It appears to be just a basic ash spear with a steel tip. Ty normally coats the tip with a poison if available so it can be dangerous even to larger creatures. However, this weapon is more of a last resort in most cases since he prefers to either used a ranged weapon or run away. From a human's perspective, Tytanus's spear would probably look more like a toothpick.
*Talymer Blowpipe with 20 Damascus darts – This is Ty's favorite weapon against creatures his size and against larger ones if he thinks the darts will be able to work. Due to the small size, the darts can easily be blown off course by a light breeze and lack the force to penetrate any tough armor, hide, shell, etc. Even a person's clothes could stop the dart since it will get stuck in the clothes. Still, something fairly thin and soft like a human skin should be possible to break through if Ty adds some extra force with his wind magic. But to do so, he would need to have an open shot at bare skin free of clothes, armor, wind, and other obstacles. And without any poisons, the dart will only really cause pain like a splinter and not do any serious damage.
*Leather Armor – Just some light leather armor that doesn't really hinder his movement and provides a bit of protection attacks from things his size.
