Human man born on the thirty-third day of summer, 480 A.V. It is dust to dust and ash to ash or beast turns back to beast. Physical Description A lean man of indiscriminate age, he stands at an easy six feet, one inch composed primarily of long, noble bones and lithe muscle. Narrow shoulders have a habit of slouching, but despite years of dark's weight fail to do so in a manner that strikes as natural. The ghosts of a once noble bearing lay over the whole of his weathered frame down to the way mint green eyes regard the world -- up, always up, but chin equally as often down. Once his skin had known the healthy burnish of long hours in the sun washed air, but now that too is a phantom sleeping beneath pallor. More ghost than man, this hanged man yet sits with an intensity of presence difficult to deny. Character Concept Those who watch in the light are blinded by the light. Always, always stay to the shadows. Character History Swing swing, gallows swing From anger back to sorrow Morning gets what midnight brings And I’ll be dead tomorrow Just another ghost It's true I killed him dead But I’ve always been an honest man, as crystal as the sea I’ve always said when I’ve done wrong, and I’ve said when wrong’s done me So listen to my warning though I know it might sound strange To those who cast condoning eyes upon me when I hang And let me tell you what I’ve learned, what my guilty mind has seen Of life and then of death and then how ghosts get stuck between There’s no slamming doors, no rattling chains, no long black veils at night But you’d wish there was cause then you might could die to put things right But ghosts have got no bodies left, and ghosts have got no will They're just etchings on your conscience by the hands that had them killed And the world it all looks yellow now, and every breath is foul And the water tastes like rancid oil, and the mockingbirds just howl And you can never touch someone you love, it’ll burn them if you try And the face inside the mirror stares back with goldfish bowls for eyes And the only dream you ever have is of lying there awake And it never rains upon your head, it spits into your face A ghost has haunted me -- and worn me thin I got what I deserved a thousand times again Oh listen please -- my final words Before you bring yourself to watch the final length of cord Cause ghosts don’t die when hands take hands, and ghosts are not released It’s ash to ash and dust to dust, or beast and back to beast I hope your heart is large and that there’s room enough in you For the ghost you choose to make of me and the ghost that haunts me, too Swing swing, gallows swing From anger back to sorrow Hide your eyes and wash your wings Cause I’ll be dead tomorrow Just another ghost Skill List   Mental Skills Skill Score Level Addt’l Notes Composition 2 Novice - Intelligence 15 Novice 15 RB Leadership 15 Novice 15 SP Persuasion 1 Novice -   Physical Skills Skill Score Level Addt’l Notes Brawling 1 Novice - Dual Wield 5 Novice 5 SP Long Daggers 32 Competent 30 SP   Magics Skill Score Level Addt’l Notes NA - - -   Languages Language Fluency Origin Addt’l Notes Common Fluent Starting Package - Arumenic Basic Starting Package - Pavi Poor Starting Package - Lore Martial Strategy Socio-economics Hai's Layout Gracen's Mission Equipment & Possessions 1 Set of Clothing 1 Waterskin (SP) 1 Backpack which contains: (SP) 1 Set of Toiletries (comb, brush, razor, soap) (SP) Food for a week (SP) 1 eating knife (SP) Flint & Steel (SP) 2 Steel Assassins Daggers (purchased at creation) 2 Leather Vambraces (purchased at creation) Hai appropriate housing Average book (Heirloom: 50 gm value) Ledger + 100 gm (SP) - 8 gm (2 Steel Assassins Daggers) - 20 gm (2 Leather Vambraces) = 72 gm Thread List Active Threads The Hanged Man - Summer 499 AV - In progress Retired Threads The Heirophant - Earlier Summer 499 AV - Awarded The Fool - Abandoned/Awarded Chimera - 1 Winter 511 AV (Gracen) - Awarded *Credits to Schmidt, Sullivan & LaPointe.
