Character

Name:

Montague Morne

Nicknames:

Monty

Appearance:

• Height/Weight: 7fulms, 215ponz
• Build: Monty is slender for his size, and slightly gaunt.
• Eyes: His right eye is blue, with the left having gone white in blindness.
• Hair: Dirty blonde and shoulder-length; he doesn't like to fuss with it and so usually keeps it tied back.
• Skin: Pale, even for a Duskwight, though he spends plenty of time in the sun.
• Other: He constantly appears slightly ill, with sunken cheeks and bags under his eyes. He attributes this to his ongoing insomnia.

Personality:

Monty is the overachiever's underachiever. He's spent his entire life resting on his laurels, taking the path of least resistance. He is quiet, unassuming, and tends to avoid any distinct social interaction. He is a bit shy, and crowds and overt attention make him uncomfortable. Since Carteneau his silences have become less awkward and more introspective, and while he still dislikes being too open he also spends his time helping others in whatever way he can. He has become very unsure of himself, for the first time questioning his lackadaisical attitude and what he wants to do with his life. (Alignment: Neutral Good)

Strengths and Weaknesses:

Strengths:

• Though slim, Monty is deceptively strong. Underestimate him at your own peril.
• Loyal to a fault to those who've earned it.
• A skilled craftsman.
• Not too shabby with a great-axe.

Weaknesses:

• Lack of proper sleep has sapped much of Monty's energy, making him tire easily.
• Loyal to a fault to those who've earned it.
• Almost intensely private.
• Half-blind.

Likes and Dislikes:

Likes:

• Quiet.
• Red and blue.
• Rain.
• Reading.
• Helping people.
• Chocolate.

Dislikes:

• The cold.
• Green and yellow.
• Crowds.
• Loud, unexpected noises.
• Those who take advantage of others.
• Seafood.

Quirks:

• Monty speaks in a slow, hesitant manner, with an accent that jumps regions every other sentence. He blames this on growing up in an orphanage, and around a group of rather diverse fellows in the La Noscea Logging Company.
• He chews on grass stalks when he's nervous, claiming it calms him.
• Hates the cold with an almost religious fervor, to the point where he is hardly ever seen without at least some form of long-sleeved clothing - even in the middle of Thanalan.

Miscellaneous

Rumors

Common:

• "He's a quiet fellow. Been working with us almost a cycle now, can't say I ever heard him speak." - Traveling Blacksmith
• "The poor dear, he really doesn't get enough sleep. Took nearly a moon for them to finish up my barn - would have been longer, but he stayed up all night working after the others had gone to bed. Twelve bless him, but he needs his rest!" - Thanalan Homesteader
• "'S a good lad, strong. Always willing to lend a hand, never complains." - Traveling Foreman

Uncommon:

• "He's a mite too good with that axe of his. Asked him once, but he waved it off sayin' he'd been loggin' all his life. I know better, though. He swings that thing like he's killin' someone with it, and damned efficiently, too." - Traveling Carpenter
• "I've never seen someone buy so much terebinth. He wiped out my whole stock, must have cost him a month's pay." - Ul'Dahn Merchant
• "There's sumpthin' on 'is arm, up by th' shoulder. Some kinna tattoo, I reckon. Got real tetchy when I pointed it out." - Ferry Crewman

Rare:

• "I knew Montague Morne, ever since he was a wee one. I don't know who this fop thinks he's foolin', but he ain't Monty." - Former Employee of the La Noscea Logging Company
