Description

Name: Reynaud "Rey" Grim
Age: 20
Race: Infected Human
Height: 6' Exactly
Weight (in pounds): 202.4 pounds

Appearance (pictures help): Reynaud keeps his dishevelled hair out of his sight with the cleanest piece of cloth he can find, he's one year short of a man with no time for stylish hats and petty haircuts. His eyes show lack of rest and the skin that wraps his gruff muscular body looks a little pale, downright sickly, under the certain lighting. Heavier than he looks.

Equipment

Armor: White shirt, burlap trousers and a belt with an iron buckle on casual occasions. Short-changed leather duster, without sleeves or for it to go beyond the waist. Maybe enough to stop an arrow or two, shallow a cut or crash through a window.

Weapons: A worn blunderbuss, capable of holding only one pellet at a time. A small book of druidic spells (very minor things like purification of water, creating light. Anyone who studies the book long enough can perform them, while holding it)

History

Who would raise a monster? No one. That's what he thought when he fled to the surburbs of Achlea at the age of seventeen, bringing the only thing that looked remotely like a weapon in the house with him. It was mounted above the family crest, maybe it was a heirloom. Maybe one day he could return, maybe after he is cured. Maybe.

Having lived three years on his own in the countryside, it was unintentional when he kept the village of Midain safe from marauders, not through wits or skill but a sheer coincidence of luck and disease. He became the Rivenwood Beast in some nights, others he was just a hermit in his cabin who kept intruders at bay with unparallel accuracy, brute strength and a boomstick. He was suprisingly self-sufficient, for a once-noble, to say the least.


Weakness: Very susceptible to poisons, especially those with a metal base. Prone to rage in duress, strong dislike of animals (which applies vice-versa). Otherwise human, anything with sharp pointy ends still goes through him.


Additional Information:

An Infected Human - is a man or woman who has been attacked by a dying shapeshifter or aroused the curse of a spiteful witch, a werbeast to some. Diseased and hated if found out, they live short lives in fear of people finding out that they have become and often mingle among more normal folk. Because of this, they pose an even greater threat in largely populated areas. Unlikely to transmit the curse, but still as despised, they keep it a secret -some to their deaths.

A Blunderbuss - is a gnomish invention, an alloy tube capable of withstanding great heat and impact is filled with a teaspon of volatile substances. A pellet or sometimes bit of ore is placed on the explosive, triggering it sends the pellet shooting with bone shattering impact, albeit small. People who use it are often clever individuals who learnt how to concoct the substance required to fire it, or/and are magicians who find burning someone's soul too barbaric for their tastes.
