Description

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Appearance: He is not a very big man, at 5'6" and a slim but strong build from a labor-intensive life. He has dark, salt-filled hair and a ruddy complexion. He has a thin beard, thick eyebrows and dark eyes. He is two-legged, as he was on the open seas when Nephelle cursed Centerlot. His clothing shows that he is a sailor, but not a rich one. He wears a light tunic and blue vest. His sailor pants are light brown and very worn. They are tucked into knee-high leather boots, his most valuable possession.

Personality

Lute has never been known to say much, probably because he can be prone to stuttering and misspeaking. In all physical tasks, though, he is always known to follow through. He can be very brave and bear suffering without complaint.

Equipment

Weapons: A nautical knife.

History

He was born on the little island of Syma. He was descended down a long line of fishermen, and of course he grew up loving the sea and the coast. He had many siblings, but his parents appreciated him as being the least noisy and the most helpful. They were a little remiss when he made the sudden decision that he wanted to become a sailor, because they had always expected he would stay in Syma, marry a local girl and give them even-tempered grandchildren. But Lute was inspired by the sight of a trading ship docked in the Syman harbor, the largest he had ever seen. His doting mother, especially, did not want to let him go. Lute had to leave in secret the day the ship was to depart. He served on the crew of the Procopia for nearly two years, suffering all manner of hardship and braving the elements. Then one day, his service was abruptly cut short when he was plucked off the deck by a sorceress-turned-griffin and brought to the shore of Centaurlot.
