Basic Information Race: Human/Vantha Birthday & Age : Aged 22, Birthdate around 491 AV Gender: Male Eye Color: Varies Physical Description Zeke is a ragtag, ramshackle looking fellow, with shaggy black hair that falls to his chin and warm, color-shifting eyes that glimmer with mischief, especially when he has an idea. He's somewhat rounder and squishier than most humans, but he is remarkably agile. His clothes are weathered with dust, dirt and flecks of paint. He wears a long shabby blue coat over his cheap, flamboyant attire. When taking a closer look the coat has a multitude of little pockets sewn into it that are teeming with random items, such as watches, paintbrushes, candies, packets of herbs, keys to nowhere, and the occasional live rodent or two. His face is often unshaven and rough, and his hands are callused from years of lute practice and travel. He’s rarely seen without a bounce to his step and a cheery grin. Character Concept Zeke is a bit of a wandering soul, and a loner in most respects. He rarely keeps relationships with people, despite the fact that he loves an audience, but he likes animals and had several pets before he left Avanthal to look for adventure (or perhaps just a toasty fireplace to read and pluck his lute by). Zeke enjoys playing music, goofing around and telling stories. History Born and raised in Avanthal, Zeke ran away when he was 12 due to a family tragedy. After becoming lost and nearly freezing to death he was taken in by a Kelvic theatre troupe, who raised him while moving place to place with their act, until he came of age. When he was old enough to be on his own he joined the crew of a shady "merchant" ship, where he made his living by entertaining the well-off traders with song and silliness. After some saucy nights with the captain's beautiful daughter and a broken heart, Zeke left the pirate's life to find fame and fortune. Instead, he found the gutter of Sylrias, where he wallowed for two years and made money by selling carved oak fiesta masks in the streets. Happily for Zeke, he had heard of a wonderful city called Alvadas, and he gathered his meager possessions and travelled there. He worked well with Alvadas and now he is living a poor but comfortable life at the Wolf's Cave Inn as a tavern minstrel and storyteller.
