Sketch, the Grym Storyteller (level 2)
(I changed how his abilities were organized and some of the lore behind the individual abilities, the changes from level 1 are in red.)
Name: Sketch
Nickname/Alias: Speaker for the Grym
Age: ???
Race: Human?
Height: 6’
Weight:145 lbs
Occupation: Storyteller
Personality: At first glance, Sketch appears to be a kind man with a love for stories and children. He loves nothing more than sitting around a fire telling the tales of far off kingdoms, leaving the children star struck. However, when the night darkens and the mists from the forests start to pour in, Sketch’s true personality comes through. Sketch has a deep love of driving sharp points of fear into people, and his favorite stories are those of the Grym.
Recently Sketch has gained a few friends in his travels in Scara Brae, and he enjoys following them around as they go on adventures. He has a hard time sleeping, as he draws the Grym to him naturally. Nevin created a potion to help him sleep at night. He has a huge appetite, that may or may not have to do with the energy that it takes to summon the Grym.
History: “A story can be made of beautiful things, but a Fable can only Nightmares bring.”
Sketch has gone through numerous adventures with his friends, and summoned many different types of Grym in his recent travels. Over time, he’s made contact with several True Grym, those with capacity for independent thought and are able to act on their own accord. One such Grym has been a shape shifting witch who told his fortune named “Baba Yaga,” an ancient and mythic Grym. Another has been “Red” the Grym who filled the power vacuum left from the death of the “Big Bad Wolf.”
Appearance: Sketch is a Tall, lean man with a very pale complexion. He has dark eyes that are so deep a green, they look almost black. Around his neck is a permanent bruise. His short shaggy black hair is flecked with infrequent strands of grey, and his teeth are perfectly straight and clean. He wears a long black suit with grey pin stripes and matching black slacks. As a master storyteller, his voice is practiced and well-toned to sound pleasant.
