Martin van Winkle
by Philly Homer 2011-06-13, 23:38
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Description: One of many descendants from a now-disgraced noble family, he does not have much money to his name, nor much recognition. He is 6'1", fairly tall, with strawberry-blond hair and green eyes and is extremely skinny. He has been living around, but not with, the elves in the forest for the past 4 years and has developed keen survival and tracking skills at the expense of any social skills he may have had before his life alone in the wilderness. Now he has returned to civilization to escape the isolation.
Key Traits: Extremely keen senses and telescopic tunnel vision when focused, sarcastic, antisocial, and generally a jerk to strangers and people he does not like. Laid back when alone or around people he doesn't hate and doesn't care about insults.
He is useless in close combat and needs a decent blade user to draw attention away from him so he can attack at range. At worst, he is fast and agile enough due to his slender build to escape from small groups of enemies.
Bio - From the day he was born until a day after his 5th birthday, he lived on the ancestral family estate which had been reduced to nothing more than a large shack over the years. On that day he developed a deep resentment of dwarven kind, particularly the bankers, who had taken the home as collateral because there was no money to give to the racketeers. From that day forward, he constantly moved around with his family until he reached the age of 9, when both of his parents died of a rare disease. He traveled from city to city, living as nothing more than a street urchin and a cutpurse to survive.
It was finally when he was caught by a noblewoman that he was banished to the forests to live amongst the man-hating forest elves. He always made sure to keep a good distance away from them, for they would not have hesitated to attack him if he were detected. Now fed up with the loneliness and the separation, he has decided to return to normal society. He struggles to fit in with everyone and, though his hatred of dwarves has mellowed in his time alone, he continues to be potentially unstable when encountered by the jolly, drunkard short species.

Despite the lacking of a "true" bio, I'll approve this as I think what's important and relevant has been said

Fixed. Though it honestly feels like a recap of the description in some parts.
