    Hooded Character (formerly Hooded & Cloaked Individual)

    The First Impression
    This information is known by all who first meet this person.
    Height: 5'7"
    Weight: 95-105 lbs

    An air of mysticism and confidence surrounds the gentle reproach of this character. Two points on either side of the hood indicate something other than this character's head is holding it up. Though the character within the hooded robe appears somewhat bedraggled, all else appears very clean and neat; the likely result of either a well organized mind, a magical cantrip, or perhaps a little of both. He carries two staves, that are possibly magical. One of the staves has a glowing green gem atop it, while the other is elegantly assembled with reinforced metal. He wears what appears to be a traditional outfit from the Far East known as a Gi. On his feet are some colourful boots. Around his neck is a necklace with sparkling jewels. On occasion he pulls a strapped heavy crossbow from his pack to wield in combat. Hanging off a greenish belt is a scroll case. On his hands are a pair of green gloves, and a silver ring. The ensemble is finished off with an elegant cloak.

    Upon Further Inspection
    This information is known only by those who have followed him or been around him for an extended length of time. In most cases this information is role-played in-game. Each piece of information in this section can also be garnered by a successful Spot Check of a DC equal to 12 + Bluff, which currently is 15. Please roll in front of me or a DM.
    Gender: Male
    Eyes: Light Green
    Hair: Reddish-Brown
    Body Art: Forearms

    • Within the shadows of this character's hood can be seen a slightly bent nose, friendly elf-like eyes, a ruddy complexion, and a dark red vandyke. Straggled, reddish-brown hair appears more like it has been stuffed into the hood rather than drawn neatly back.
    • On his right and left forearms are the distinct brandings of Mystra and Correllon Larethian, the former being closest to the wrist and glowing a light blue, the latter further up on the forearm and glowing a forest green.
    • His skin is slightly tanned, indicating he must get out on occasion.
    • The robes he wears are of the simplest manner.
    • The boots he wears are very well made and of distinguishable colour.
    • At night a necklace can be seen around his neck that glows a luminescent white light, otherwise known as a Glittering Necklace.
    • The often carried green-gemmed staff carries many carvings, sigils and a series of niches that descend from the tip to the base, making the item appear either decorative or somewhat magical. Of these carvings the most obvious of these include a goblin, a kobold, and several varieties of animals. Of the sigils, only two appear familiar, that being the religious symbols of Mystra and Corellon. It too may be magical in some manner due to it's green glow and well crafted design.

    Eyes of a Hawk, Ears of a Fox
