Drake Naïr ( Semi-retired )

Unread post by Zanniej »

First Name: Drake
Last Name: Nair

Appearance:

He's a confident, quite good looking man of slightly below average height and weight. He looks nimble and walks with grace. He works hard to hide his half-elven heritage and pretends to be human.

At times he might look a bit arrogant, since he seems quite sure of his skills. He's always seen walking around in nice clothing and jewelry, and most of the times has a crossbow slung over his shoulder.

Race: Half-Elf (though he wouldn't be quick to admit it)
Age: 29
Height Below average
Weight: Below average
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Half long black hair
Facial Hair Style: A slight stubble

Personality Profile:
General Health: Doesn't look fit and is quite skinny, but is not unhealthy
Deity: Waukeen
Initial Alignment: Chaotic neutral
Profession: Merchant, bard, diplomat
Base Class & Proposed Development: Bard
Habits/Hobbies: Singing, creating songs, poetry, creating business opportunities
Languages: Illuskan, Common, Elven
Weapon of Choice: Heavy crossbow

Background:
"Born of a tavern wench and an elven mercenary in Luskan, and raised in that very same tavern, he grew up becoming a bard, working, singing and performing in the bar. In this very bar he learned to use the crossbow, a tool he used to quickly work out unwanted tavern patrons (which there were many of). He'd use the counter to keep a fair distance between himself and the drunkards, and his crossbow to make sure they understood the message.

His father would still come and visit the tavern every now and then, teaching him his language, until his mother would run him off again. Their relationship was ... strained ... to say the least, and Drake's mother never really cared for him.

After a couple of years his father stopped visiting. Due to his mother's hatred for his father, and his father abandoning him, he started resenting his elven heritage. Since he never really fit in with the humans, or the elves, he started growing a beard to try and fit in with the humans.

After years of working in the tavern, he realised his ambitions were greater than working in a simple tavern, and he took off. For a while he lend his services to various captains, roaming the seas, establishing trade routes. After a while he grew tired of this, and wished for a better life. This is when he reached Baldurs Gate."


Goals:
- Become rich and famous. (Achieved?)
- Become part of the Baldurs Gate Merchant league.
- Become a diplomat.
- Own a bussiness (perhaps even a tavern)
- Wishes to join the Performers Guild
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
- Could become diplomat
- Would be willing to start a new bussiness, or perhaps multiple.

There was a moment, some time ago. People around him might've noticed it as the turning point. Some event he doesn't speak about, resulting in the loss of his left ear, and the loss of quite some of his joy. He hasn't been heard singing or writing song much eversince. Everything about him got a bit darker.

Long has he been looking for some way to get his ear back. After a long search he found a cleric able to cast a spell to restore his ear for him, as well as removing the scars on his face.

After his looks being back to the way it was, he started taking up writing songs again, and his complete person became a bit more uplifted. Some would say he's gone back to the way he was . . .

With the wealth he attained in his adventuring time, it seems to become more and more apparant that Drake is going on an early retirement. Most day's he hangs around the different taverns, depending on his mood, and does not much more than drinking and singing (or writing) the occasional song.

Should anyone need him, they'd most likely be able to find him in one of the Gate's many taverns, though apart from a conversation, they wouldn't be able to get too much out of him.


(( I'll be shelving Drake, at least for a while. Should anyone need him, he's available for forum RP (through PMs), and in very rare cases I might even log him in, but for now, consider him retired. The character won't cease to exist, but I just haven't found the interest in logging him for a couple of weeks now, and don't think I'll get the interest any time soon. ))
