Age: 22
Appearance: Niall is a rugged man, dressed in brown robes and carrying a staff wherever he goals. He always keeps a pouch of herbs and other essential items near him at all times. His most prized possession is a red amulet, given to him by his master. Its powers even he has yet to understand. He is about 5"9 and has a body built for walking and surviving in the wild. His hair is brown and he sports blue eyes. He has a slight beard and usually has a pensive expression.
Build: Niall is not fat, but he is not thin either. Instead, he is in a muscular midpoint, though he conceals this with his robes.
Personality: Niall is an innocent person and, as such, struggles to comprehend the darker parts of human nature. He is certainly aware of them, of course, but he struggles to understand why. Niall has been opened up to the Life-Force for fifteen years, longer than when he was blind to it. Because of this, he sometimes forgets that people do not perceive the world as he does. Niall is a peaceful person and easygoing by nature, but when provoked, he can use his powers rashly, which his master has warnd him constantly against.
Where they live: Wanderer; was born in the Celtic Lands.
What/ who they are: Traveling Bard
History: The Celtic Lands are home to a diverse collection of tribes, sometimes warring and sometimes at peace. Niall lived in a tribe that lived off the land rather than wander around, making its living from farming and trading. In this village, instead of a Druid or Druidess, lived an old Bard by the name of Dragon Tongue. Niall was fascinated by the old man and the old man noticed that Niall had a gift for perception and a connection to the Life-Force and took him on as an apprentice. Though his father was a farmer with little use for magic or mysticism, Dragon Tongue was able to get him to agree to Niall's apprenticeship with a small sack of gold and the promise that Niall would help out during harvest time. Niall learned magic and life as a servant of the Life Force with Dragon Tongue, sometimes going on journeys with the old man. It was only a couple of years ago that Dragon Tongue deemed him ready to journey on his own. Niall has travelled since, tasked with gaining real world experience.
Skills:
Like most Bards, Niall is a magic-user. He can perform many spells, but his chief ones are based upon the elements of nature and the Life-Force. Connect to the Life-Force, he can feel its warnings and commands. When he listens, he can seem to have a precognitive ability in battle and outside of it, sidestepping dangers to himself. Occasionally, the Life-Force grants him visions, but they are foggy and can be symbolic, unlike those of the Seers. Niall can also heal many illnesses and injuries with his connection with the Life-Force. Having traveled the wilds for most of his life, Niall is a capable survivor and traveler.
Other: He possessed a wooden staff and harp, both made from heartwood, with the harp made from unicorn hair.
