Traits

Personality

Enjoys

• Exploring new places and the feeling of grand adventure.
• Romantic novels with enough cheese to provide for the breakfast buns of an entire Imperial Invasion Force.
• Sweets, including -- yet not restricted to -- licorice and dark chocolate.

Avoids

• Large crowds and overall gatherings of people in vast numbers.
  • His reason for this being less about maintaining a "mysterious loner"-status and more about being anxious to no end.
• People with unreasonably high expectations.
• Glory hogs and bootlickers.
• Surprises. Surprises are bad.

Hobbies and Interests

• Haggling. Because prices on things are simply too overblown sometim--... most of the time.
• Falling down from high places and hurting himself. A lot. May include profanity and salty tears.
• Wrestling and other forms of hand-to-hand combat.

Skills

Climbing. Having grown up surrounded by the mountains of Gyr Abania -- and later the lush forests of the Black Shroud -- it's safe to say that the most foolproof way of locating Eckerd Aldenport is to keep one's eyes locked upwards. Note: Not recommended while in the close proximity of cliffs and/or other environmental hazards.

Combat. When faced with the possibility of imminent death and lifelong mutilation, Eckerd tends to place his faith in the hands of a sturdy lance -- or a polearm of a similar fashion -- whenever possible. Combined with a healthy dose of physical strength and years of experience in the field, this twenty-something sellsword has established himself as anything but a pushover. Still, there's always room for improvement, and an experienced lancer could easily point out the most fatal flaw in his technique: a heavy over-reliance on offense.
