Persemmon Dragonslayer: Very Little Hin with a Very Big Name
Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2011 2:12 pm
First Name: Persemmon
Last Name: Dragonslayer
Appearance:
Race: Strongheart Halfling
Age: 22 or so years...hard to tell...even he can't remember when he was born.
Height: Maybe 1 or 1 1/2 meter (yards). Below average for a hin.
Weight: 70lbs or 32 kilos...depends on if the last meal was a feast or not.
Eyes: Light blue, swirling.
Hair: Balding dark brown hair. Likens his hair loss to his great intellect.
Facial Hair Style: Handle-bar beard. Keeps the chin warm, and the lady hins just adore it.
Personality Profile:
General Health: The shortest hin, below average. Very small build, light and rather nimble. Featherweight—could probably take a good fall and just bounce.
Deity: Shaundakul
Initial Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.
Profession: Dragonslayer. Yes, dragonslayer.
Base Class & Proposed Development: Wizard, Dragonslayer, Eldritch Knight
Habits/Hobbies: Insanely curious. Ends up in people's business all the time...even if he doesn't realize how he got there.
Languages: Halfing, Common, Elven, Orc...and wait for it: Draconic.
Weapon of Choice: Spells...and crossbows.
Background: Persemmon (or Persee for short, to his friends) grew up as all hins do: short. Alas, he was the shortest of them all. Height challenged—even in the Hin village—led young Persemmon to seek out a solution to his problems: magic. The local wizard was kind to Persemmon, and realized this Hin had quite a knack for the Weave.
One day, the wizard asked Persemmon: "Young Persee, ye have a gregarious nature and skill with the Weave...what do you seek to do with it?" Persemmon thought long and hard as to what would be the greatest accomplishment the shortest Hin in all Faerûn could...uhm, accomplish.
"Master wizard Sir," said Persemmon, "I'm gonna slay me a dragon!"
But that was then, and this is now, and Persemmon—now an adult—has wised up a bit, and realizes there is much more to slaying a dragon that just slaying a dragon....one needs a really special sling! Yep, magic dragonslaying sling...with magic dragonslaying bullets. Oh, and followed up by a really powerful Orb of Acid.
Goals:
To study, detail and accomplish a great understanding of the Weave...in order that when his day comes, he can slay his dragon.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Persemmon is a Hin, and that brings all sorts of prejudices against him. Already, people have accused him of being a thief, a scamp and a gnome...it's hard enough that the little bugger has to be so short, but to get all this extra grief! Therefore, Persee is tired of being pushed around, and wants a little more respect...especially for his growing intellect and knowledge about the weave....and of dragons! Don't forget the dragons.
Persemmon has been both wondering and wandering around, looking for other knowledgeable dragonslayers...or just knowledge about dragons in general. One morning, after third breakfast, he had this wonderful idea: there should be an Order of the Dragon, epic knights and wizards who protect the land, the people and the people on the land. Now, just how to start this with only 7 gold pieces in his pocket...this Persee hasn't figured out yet.
As Persemmon noses his way along the inns, campfires and dungeons of the Sword Coast searching for new magics and dragonslaying colleagues, he also seeks a small yet significant "place" to live a most meaningful, influential, entertaining, and hopefully larger-than-life existence. (ouch, awful pun)
