Description

Personality

Mannerisms: Rather loud and about as subtle as a freight train full of elephants in heat. An open, honest man without a speck of guile in his heart- even good-natured pranks worry him. Not exactly a brave man, but not a total coward- He's more of a nervous one.
Relationship skills: Good at making friends, probably due to the pressure.
Habits: He wrings his apron when under stress or being interrogated.
Hobbies: Besides cooking
Favorite Sayings: "Ah, you must eat!" "I am but a simple cook, yet..."
Speech patterns: He speaks with an accent, but if this is his second language he doesn't show it. He tends to be careful not to offend and verbal backtracking is common.
Style (Elegant, shabby etc.): Definitely more on the shabby side.
Educational Background: He went to the Academical Guild for the necessary few years, but other than that he is not especially learned.

With conflict? Trying to stop it by joking and keeping the conflicting parties apart. When there's no other choice, he usually leaves to try and avoid being caught in it.

History

Socioeconomic Level (child): He was poor and on the streets, then poor and a cook's assistant on a boat.
Socioeconomic Level (adult): He is famed for his culinary skills, to the point of being requested to join the crew of the Erythoril-ship.
Occupation: Ship's Cook, high class.
Income: Medium. He's still just a ship's cook.
Talents/Skills: He is skilled with the arts of procuring, preparing, and presenting food, as well as eating it. However, he's also good at making food last far longer than it seems like it should.
Birth order:
Parents: Unknown father, mother was a tavern whore who drowned in the bay while Daller was still young.
Siblings: None that he knew of.
Spouse: Never married.
Children: None.
Significant Others: None who really matter.
Biography: Born the child of a ship's captain and his woman in a port who threw herself to the waves for unknown reasons, Daller lived on the streets for much of his childhood before stowing away on a passing ship. Luck was with him, and the cook, a man named Liopond, needed an assistant. Over time the boy showed remarkable talent for the culinary arts, and eventually was sent off to the Academy for training as an official cook of Isha.

Despite having willingly fled to it, he feared the sea more than anything, as it represented a vast emptiness to the boy. His dream, over time, became a desire to leave it behind- To make enough money to live somewhere where he could not see the waters. On a planet covered in it, this could be problematic and, some might say, impossible. Now an adult with many years of sea travel behind him, he's closer to realizing that dream than he thinks, as his skill in the kitchens brought him to the crew of the new ship and, presumably soon, to the edge of the world and off it.
