DM'S NOTE - EOLAER IS CURRENTLY ON A " LEAVE OF ABSENCE" FROM THE CAMPAIGN DUE TO REAL LIFE STUFF GOING ON IN THE PLAYER'S LIFE THAT'S FORCING HIM TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE CAMPAIGN... YOU MAY OR MAY NOT SEE HIM IN FUTURE FG GAME SESSIONS - BASICALLY HE'S WELCOME TO SHOW UP BUT THE GUY'S BUSY AS ALL HECK  ... I won't give a back story for him. I am a firm believer in that being unveiled via RP. No offense. I will describe him though: Roughly 6' 3" on a muscular frame. Dirty blonde hair. Rugged armor that is obviously battleworn. A beaten up sword that looks to have been sharpened many times. A beaten up shield. Fair skin that is obviously tanned. Green eyes that have a shine behind them that show sorrow. A five o clock shadow. Rugged looking, but handsome (appearance 14).

doh ! sorry dude !  ... corrected post appears here .. I did take the liberty of copying and pasting the parts of his personality that would be readily apparent to anyone interacting with him just 'cause it can be tough to "tell" what someone's personality is on FG sometimes ) : (posting this on behalf of nydhog - basically copy and paste of what he sent me, this is his PC  ) Eolaer is now 19 long seasons old. Using the tools-of-his-trade and acting as muscle for hire, he turned a profit for himself. But every night as he sits in a tavern and drinks his dwarven ale, he thinks about (insert mysterious thoughts here ) He is dirty blonde. 6' 3" in height and about 200 pounds on a muscular frame with green eyes (per his character sheet, pdf). He is fairly calm until pushed. Extremely sociable and polite and always willing to help, but certain topics will immediately send him into a stern and at-arms mode. He isn't an alcoholic so much as he can't function without it, but if he has the chance to drink and it not effect his jobs at hand he WILL drink. His armor is obviously second hand. It has dings and scrapes and even burns on it. His weaponry and shields however have an ineresting "aura" to them. He is a very straight faced person and often lets his dreadlocked hair cover his face. He is not worried about his appearance. He is a handsome man, and his rustic allure proves to get him his bedwarmth (14 Appearance score). He shaves very half-assed and lets a 5 o' clock shadow grow for days on end before he shaves again. He comes across almost as a "farmhand" except intelligent... think John Coffey from the movie The Green Mile but smarter than that , a solid, not too complicated "man of the earth" so to speak ... if someone starts up a philosophical or purely intellectual discussion he's likely to say " I'm off to get some food and a beer, I'll come back when you guys are done"...  |

In addition, his armor doesn't fit him as well as it should. If one observes closely on his back, one might see plenty long and deep scars and burns. On his right wrist he wears a brand.

Possible Eolaer pic? Not sure if this works for nydhog or not... I go through pic's on websites looking for pic's for NPC's to display and occasionally I come across a pic and think " Hey this might be a good pic for so and so 's character ! "... but obviously the players are going to have the best idea of how their characters should look  So look this over nydhog, let me know if it appeals.. if it's thumbs up we'll keep it, if thumbs down just let me know and I'll delete it off this thread ... |

VERY much so. Longer hair and more scarred but definitely the first pic is an eolaer pose and look. I've actually thought about making him dual wield a few times.
