Character Profile: Ray Strongbow

Name: Ray “Mr Lumber” Strongbow
Height: 6ft 3”
Age: 48 Years Old

Appearance:
Ray is a broadly built man along with being tall. He has dark skin and his natural hair colour has turned grey, although this is now covered with brown dye. His body has many scars left from many years of carpentry and three chopping, although none are particularly bad. His eyes are brown and teeth are crooked and yellow, due to years of neglect.

Brands:
Ray has a small arrow shaped mark on his right shoulder.

Work Ethics:
Ray is not one to shy away from hard work, he takes pride in what he undertakes and with years of experience always delivers what he promises. He can be found chopping away late at night to make sure orders are completed on time and shaping wood long into the early hours of the morning. Although he is still learning his professions, even at such an age, he knows a lot about wood and hopes he can find an apprentice one day to pass on his knowledge to.

Skills:
Ray is a highly skilled Lumberjack with skills in Carpentry, Fletching and Tinkering. He has a good grasp of bow usage although his slow hands are no longer as suited to the bow as they once were.

Personality:
Ray tends to shy away from large groups and when found in one, tends to keep quiet and listens rather than talks. Often he can be found in his favourite place, the forests of Britannia, quietly working away to gather wood. He is extremely loyal and even though his archery skills are no longer up to much, he will defend a friends life with his own if required.

Background:
Ray grew up in Yew as an only child, often left to amuse himself he invented many games to amuse himself, most of them involved collecting wood from the nearby forest which is where his love of the forest and wood stems from. At the age of sixteen his father died and his mother found a new husband who insisted Ray had to leave. For the next twenty eight years Ray did not have a lot of contact with humans, often only engaging to quickly trade goods, conversations were not his strong point and he carved out a living chopping wood, making simple items and selling them. At this point he was a bit of a nomad.

Over the years Britannia slowly changed and at the age of Forty Four he found an advert for the Royal Marksmen. He decided to join them as his lonely life had started to depress him slightly. Although not the most intelligent or quickest of marksmen, Ray strength and willingness to learn meant he enjoyed his time with the regiment, managing to build up some good friendships is the process. However the Royal Marksmen disbanded, leaving Ray disappointed, although for not too long. The Regiments leaders had setup a trading company, asking Ray to join which he gladly accepted and started settling into his new job.

One day soon after the new company was formed there was a knock at his door and a man was standing there, claiming to have knowledge of his mother and the children she had had since Ray had left. He followed the man and found he was being truthful, he spent a few years trying to get to know his two half brothers and half sister but felt he was missing something and returned to Trinsic to continue where he left.

Although Devante, the boss of Stirling & Kendall, the company he worked for, was concerned by the long absence from Ray he allowed him to return to the company in his old position. Ray, now aged forth eight, settled back into his position which is where he is currently working.

Reputation:
Ray is not a well known character, he tends to work quietly and not interact with people he does not know, however his name is well received from all who know his work ethic and personality.

Motivation:
Ray wants to secure his future so that he never has to go back to the days he barely had enough food to eat. He wants to become a master of Carpentry and learn about the types of wood he is yet to discover. He has little desire to use his bow in combat again as he feels those days have past him by.

Beliefs:
Ray has never been one for religion and is not likely to start now. He can be sometimes found uttering words of thanks to trees for providing him with fine lumber that he can use to sell and construct fine items.

Time line of events:

Age 16: Left Yew to find new hope, ends up roaming the lands for 28 years.
Age 44: Joins Royal Marksmen, progresses to Private before the Regiment disband late in the year.
Age 45: Joins newly created Stirling & Kendall Trading Company as Woodsman. Later in the year is reunited with mother and half brothers and sister, no message is left for who he left behind.
Age 48: Returns to Trinsic and Stirling & Kendall at his old position, put in charge of wood stock and a timber merchant.

Character Profile: Cearul Lorcan

Name: Cearul “Deadly Silence” Lorcan
Height: 5ft 10”
Age: 36 Years Old

Appearance:
Although Cearul does not have the largest of frames he still has good presence, his hair, faded to grey after many years of stress caused by frustration while trying to communicate. His skin is lightly colour, from many years locked up inside, his eyes are light blue and teeth are straight and bright white. No marks are clear on his body except a few cuts and bruises from recent encounters.

Brands:
None

Work Ethics:
Cearul works hard when he wants to do something, although is slightly sloppy when tasks are what he believes to be below his level. If the task is to kill you can be sure that the action taken will be swift and deadly. Cearul does not complain, although this is mainly down to his trouble talking, however annoyed he is at a task, it will be done.

Skills:
To say that Cearul is a talented Marksman would be an understatement, where most archers learn only from a teacher, Cearul has had the extra benefit of learning tactics from all the books available, something he owes to communication problems. With this knowledge and skill he is deadly. His weakness is working with his fellow guards but this is something that he is working on and should improve as his speech improves.

Personality:
Cearul has always found it hard to get involved with other people, being silent for the majority of his life has meant that solitude is something he has had to get use to. He is a kind fellow and fairly mellow the majority of the time although has a horrid temper if his buttons are pressed. Do so at your peril.

Background:
The life of a mute is fairly lonely, as such as a child growing up he did not feel a part of anywhere. He read all the books he could get his hands on and as such, has good knowledge of many things throughout the lands. His writing skills were also good and well practiced. Although the career of a scribe was calling him he decided at Seventeen that this was not the future he wanted so he ran away and trained the skills he read in books far away from Britain where he grew up.

He lived a fairly contented life as a ranger, he found hunting bear’s and deer’s fairly enjoyable as he could try out different manoeuvres with his bow. However, one day when he was wandering throughout the lands he noticed a group of men tackle the might of a dragon. Trying to learn from this, Cearul went looking for a dragon of his own to slay but when he did, he found it too challenging for his skills. Now aged Thirty Two, Cearul was thirsty for more knowledge so that he could one day tackle one of those beasts.

While searching for a master to learn from he came across a leaflet for The Royal Marksman Regiment, an elite group of archers. Looking at this as a sign, he immediately went to the Head Quarters and signed up. He was advised by the captain to go to Britain to sign up for a signalling course, he decided not to go and just worked on learning more about archery and different approaches. He had not been joined long when the Regiment was disbanded.

The leaders of the Royal Marksmen then setup a Trading Company called Stirling and Kendall which Cearul decided to join with, he did not have much to offer them but his fighting skills and so undertook various hunting missions. He then heard of a new procedure that could help him speak and so rushed off to discover more about this, forgetting to inform anyone of his whereabouts. He joined the course and started to make progress with his speech, the progress was very slow and it took several years to get him to be able to say sentences within a decent time period. He then decided to return back to Trinsic and the Trading Company.

When he got back he was welcomed with open arms and the leaders were delighted to hear his voice for the first time, he was offered a position in the newly formed guard force that the company employed and this is what Cearul is a part of now, at the age of Thirty Six.

Reputation:
In Trinsic, Cearul is not very well known as he has not been around for very long and as he does not speak much not many people know of him.

Motivation:
Cearul has several motivations, the biggest objective in his life is to be able to speak properly, he has dreamt of the day this happens since he was young. He also wishes to be well known, his desire for fame stems from years of obscurity and loneliness. The most likely option for fame is through his skills as an archer so if he does not get the recognition he desires through normal means he may choose another route.

Beliefs:
Cearul has read everything about religion and with such conflicting views wrote down he has never really understood how one path could be chosen, he was seen as a cursed child and has always shied away from religion. He is fairly cynical about what might be.

Time line of events:

Age 16: Started an apprenticeship as a Scribe.
Age 17: Realised this was not his calling and ran away to begin a new life and learn new skills.
Age 18: Cearul had grown accustomed to hunting for his food and enjoyed putting things he learnt from books into action.
Age 32: Cearul was thirsty to learn more about archery and had got tired of hunting for food, he set out the find a master. He came across the Royal Marksmen and enlisted.
Age 33: The Marksmen disbanded and Cearul joined Stirling & Kendall Trading Company.
Age 34: He went to Britain to join a course that would help him with his speech.
Age 36: Cearul returned to Trinsic, now able to speak, although slowly. He re-joined Stirling & Kendall and is currently one of the company’s guards.
