Duppi Springhollow
-
Standing before you is Duppi, a Lightfoot Hin with a trace of Ghostwise blood. His wild nature and years of devotion allow him to speak telepathically with his wife, Temi. He is a ranger at heart but has ambitions to train as a rogue. He can handle any small weapon with finesse and is gifted with good aim.
He possesses a calculating mind and a keen sense not only for hidden foes but for the minds and ambitions of others. His home is the forest but he tolerates populated areas when he is suitably motivated to be in the presence of others. Direct and to the point with wise insight and cutting logic, he does not pull punches and says exactly what is on his mind. This often is perceived as a gruff and unsociable attitude by others but this does not make him an incapable leader. He does not lead with charisma as much as with logic and wise advice. He obeys authority and the rule of law out of a desire to not suffer the consequences, not out of some inherent respect for social contracts. He is not above breaking the law if the probability of getting caught is negligible and the results of his misdeed logically justify the consequences. He is not one to act rashly. Some say he is too contemplative. But when he decides to act he commits fully to his cause.
he respects a person for their actions more than their position, words, or charm. He will not accept the will of an unworthy leader nor will he hold resentment against their incompetence. He will simply move on to whatever the next footstep brings.
Duppi is a thoughtful and perceptive Hin, while not above idle chat he will not engage in it for long. When the conversation is on matters of importance to him he will chose his words carefully. As a fighter and tracker he is cold and calculating. But place his pipe in one hand and an Ale in the other and he is as likely to dance a jig as he is to chat up the local whores.
As a youth in his village near Amn, he met Temi at a Beltane festival dart throwing contest. When their eyes locked, he was smitten. He thought to himself, "I'm going to marry that girl." At about the same time he heard her lovely voice whisper in his thoughts, "Im' going to beat the pants of off that cocky Hin". They looked at eachother with awe. She winked, he smiled - and their love affair began.
They fell madly in love. They pledged to eachother in the depths of the forest and were inseparable from that moment on. But all was not well, soon the village noticed their behavior becoming stranger, more wild. They would run into the dangerous forests at night and emerge unscathed the next morning, wide eyed and invigorated. They would stare at each other for long periods of silence interspersed with gestures and laughter. They drank more ale, ate more food, and smoked their pipe more than any self respecting Hin had a right to. Soon the village realized that the long dormant Ghostwise blood of their ancestors had reappeared. Fearful it would awaken wild blood in the other Hin, the two were forced out of their home and made their way in the shadows to Narfell. What future awaits them there they do not know.
