Name: Caspian "Cas" Lockwood
Age: 20
Appearance: Cas is a handsome young man, a bit weather-worn from his time as a hunter. He is of average height, 5' 6" and weighs roughly 137 lbs. His hair is a dark brown with eyes of a similar color. His hair is a bit longer, the length to his shoulders, but he tends to keep it put up so it stays out of his face. He has a moderately sparse beard and mustache, which he claims he keeps trimmed but the truth of the matter is that he can't grow one any longer than he has. While Cas is a half-elf, he looks very much human. The only indication to his heritage is a slight point to his ears.
Race: Half-Elf
Background: Cas was born to a pureblood elf woman and a human man. Once he was born, his mother left the two to go back to her people. She promised she would return one day, but she never did. Caspian's father, Hector, was a woodsman who taught Cas the ways of surviving in the forest, including how to properly hunt and cut trees, but also that to continue living they had to give the forest something back. This often led to seasons of replanting seeds and feeding the animals of the wood.
Among other woodland skills, Cas was also taught to garden and farm, to not only take from the forest but to grow their own food as well. He was taught foraging, skinning, cooking, etc. He became rather self-sufficient with his father, but yearned for more. The thought of adventuring life appealed to him. He wanted to make his way in life, to become a protector of those weaker. He began to teach himself to fight, against his father's wishes. He then set off to the city, hoping to become an official adventurer.
Motivation: To make his own way in life, protecting those around him who cannot protect themselves.
Bonds: He is bonded to his father first and foremost, despite going against his wishes; his creed is one of treating nature with respect, and despises the wanton destruction of wildlife.
Ideals: To have humanity live in harmony with the natural world, even if it means giving up some luxuries.
Flaws: Because he never had much need of it, Caspian enjoys money and the things that can be bought with it a little too much, often buying stupid things that have no use.
Caspian is deathly terrified of small spaces, and will require intense coaxing or intimidation to enter any space that he cannot safely stand and spread his arms to his sides and above him.
Class name: Huntsman
Favored Attributes: Agility, Intelligence
Proficiencies: Shortbow, foraging, tracking.
Equipment:
- Wooden Shortbow: A simple bow used for hunting, it was bought from travelling merchants the pair met on the road a few years back. It is well-loved, definitely not new, but still sturdy. The bowstring is made of deer sinew. Caspian has a total of 20 simple arrows in a basic leather quiver.
- Iron Handaxe: Used for chopping away underbrush, this axe is not made for fighting. It is balanced for work, not battle. The blade is chipped in places and it needs a sharpening. The handle is covered in a soft leather that has been darkened from the oils in Caspian's skin.
- Hunting Knife: A tool, not a weapon. Perhaps useful in a pinch, but this knife's main purpose is to cut hide from flesh and to cut meat to properly prepare it. Sharp, but not for fighting. The handle is a dark, hard wood.
- Hide Armor: Armor crafted by his father, made from various hides. The armor is patchwork, made mostly to stop a charging buck, not a weapon. Definitely not master craftsmanship, it was made for survival not appearances. It is older, some of the pieces beginning to come apart at the seams. Caspian keeps it together by clumsily sewing it back together with sinew when needed.
Adventurer Pack:
- Rations: Food that Caspian has brought from home, as well as some that he has foraged on his way to the city. The rest he has bought with what little money he had. Has enough for probably 4 days.
- Hemp Rope: Worn hemp rope that Caspian brought from home. It is bloodstained in places, from stringing up deer. He has 15 feet.
- Tinderbox: A small wooden box containing his flint and steel, as well as some dried grasses, shredded cloth, and bits of paper for lighting fires. Contains a 2 ounce bottle of kerosene to help start fires, but not enough to fill a lantern.
- Fur Blanket: A blanket made from rabbit furs. Warm and comfortable, though a bit matted and damaged from years of use. Just big enough for him.
- Waterskin: A leather waterskin filled with a few days worth of clean water. It is a simple skin, one he would take with him on hunting trips.
- Pouch of Medicinal Plants: While these plants cannot be used to cure any poisons or heal a wound like divine magic can, Caspian carries some various plants than can help with some minor ills like nausea, stomach cramping, headaches, etc.
