▼ APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY
- A solidly built Highlander, Tristram Greythorne stands a handful of ilms above the average of his clan. Rusty hued auburn hair, commonly braided and pulled back, adorns his crown while betraying his possible age with prominent strikes of grey. Other braids typically hang freely from the crop of hair, dangling with the bits of rustic ornaments of horn or crudely shaped metal. Sea-green eyes rest under the signature prominent shaved brows of the Highlander clans. The right eye has been marked by a scar, given by a blade of some conflict past, while the left is framed with the blue strikes of a tattoo above and below. Straight lines and defined angles form the other features of Tristram's visage, though oft hidden by several days growth on his beard.
- While the light of youth does seem to have faded from this man, he does not appear so old to be past his prime but merely in the waning years of it. Tristram's stance and stature show a man who appears to be conditioned towards physical work, and a sureness in of where his body is and what it is doing. Even so, his posture more often than not appears relaxed and at ease. His flesh shows the weathering of constant exposure to the elements, though lacking the deep tanning of those who've spent long hours under pressing sun.
▼ TALES OF THE ITINERANT SOUL - HISTORY
Childhood
- Not much is known of this Highlander's childhood, and he speaks only of it to those he places some trust upon. His only free admission is that of spending his formative years more in the wilds of Gyr Abanaia than within the city of Ala Mhigo itself with his mother, Breda Rimesong
Teenage
- These were the years where the city-nation of Ala Mhigo fell, and he strayed from his previously ordained path to one of his own making, for good or ill.
Currently
- Sighted and seen in many places over the years, Tristram Greythorne might be called nothing more than a drifter, vagrant, or most accurately, refugee. While Tristram was largely in the employ of the Adventurer's Guild as a hired guide, the man is now found in the among others from many different walks of life with various free companies as time has worn on.
▼ SKILLS & ABILITIES
▼ MAJOR
- ■ MELEE COMBAT (LANCE) - While altogether familiar with several arms, the lance is Tristram's favored weapon of choice in combat. His style with the weapon largely mirrors that of the mythic Ala Mhigan lancers, while a discerning eye may notice Ishgardian and Gridanian influnces as well.
- ■ WILDERNESS SURVIVAL - Many years abroad in the wilds outside of cities and civilizations, let alone being raised in them from childhood, taught Tristram many harsh lessons about the land. Surviving these lessons has given Tristram ready knowledge on the means to subsist himself regardless of the terrain, weather, or environment.
- ■ CONJURATION - The man seems to be quite knowledgeable in certain areas that may seem unexpected at times and the magically inclined would deem him very capable, however he seems reticent to talk about it or use this skill in front of others. Those that do see the Highlander call up powers of conjury would notice while the man certainly has the potency of a lifelong conjurer, but his spells are more typical among those of lower orders of skill. These do not appear to be the schooling of the Gridanians and their elementals either, but of another discipline.
▼ MINOR
- ■ CARPENTRY - A trade he took to in the years following the Calamity. While he has an odd talent for crafting the staves and wands needed by conjurers, his skill is hardly anything exceptional concerning his other wares.
- ■ PERCEPTION - Be it from the years spent about adventuring and exploring, or his own experience on the field of battle the man has attained a decent ability to size up various situations and pluck from them needed information to act.
- ■ MEDICINE (WORTCRAFT) - The highlander seems unusually versed in many primitive and subjectively crude forms of herbalism and various remedies, many claimed to be knowledge contained by the Ala Mhigan healers of old.
▼ POOR
- ■ COOKING - Sometimes an open flame is just enough for some people.
- ■ MAGIC (THAUMATURGY) - While some might sense the man certainly has potential, most attempts at teaching him anything at manipulating aether in this manner has very lackluster, if not disappointing results.
- ■ DIPLOMACY - While the man is certainly capable of being polite and civil, it can be rare. His brusque demeanor and forward humor are not well suited for tense situations or subtle negotiation. His atypical and rustic Gyr Abanian accent does not help in this arena either.
- ■ LITERACY - This highlander can read and write, though his penmanship seen simple block letter style and never script. When reading, he commonly will mouth out the syllables of words silently at a very slow rate.
