Hair Color: dark brown (black with brown)
Physique: stocky
Identifying Marks: I have a small blue burn scar right in the middle of my chest.
Race: Arkan Sonney
Language: Common, some very broken Ancient, Conversational Pig, Norn-Bibble, I’ve begun to learn some Dragon (with a Faerunian dialect) from Akasha, a magma norn friend of mine.
Religious affiliation: Tymoran cleric
I began as a young child studying at the local temple of Tymora in Waymoot, the Sheltering Hand. Tymora is a goddess of Good Luck and Adventuring. I studied quite diligently under the Chance priest, Master Gothrick.
Homeland: Waymoot, in Cormyr though I haven’t been there in years…
Home/Location in Psychotopia: None as of yet.
Heraldic Symbol/Colors: My family crest is a White Stag on Green, while the symbol of a Tymoran cleric is a silver disk on blue, but I mostly wear the symbol of the Companions of Light, a brown tree with green leaves.
Companions/Friends: The Companions of the Light: TreeSprite, Corwyn, Anga, and Runesage, The norns Alyssa, Akasha, Chistamaria, Floral, Magic and Hardy, and the ettin Buster.

Skills
Studies: Buster the Ettin knows quite a bit about strange magics called mechanics and electronics. He sometimes visits the Blackberry Bush and I do love to entertain him. As I always try to be a polite listener, he has at times gone to great lengths discussing his passions. I learned how to ride horseback while I was a lad in Cormyr, but since TreeSprite started riding me, now I know it from the mount’s perspective too.
Apprenticeships: I first began learning clerical magic under Master Gothrick. I have learned the basics of healing magics and I also know several purification and earth elemental enchantments. As luck would have it most of the spells I know work through either will or somantic (spoken) forms. For example, one of TreeSprite’s favorite spells of mine is one I like to call Mud Pots. This spell causes the ground around me to turn into hot bubbling mud. Those who would think to engage in close combat with me must first make it through the sticky hot mud. Though I have only had need to use it occasionally I also have at times had need to use the spell I call Earth’s Embrace. This spell draws health and strength from the earth, healing and protecting me from harm. My spiritual weapon has become a large stone mallet which I can summon at will. I normally like to use it with my own two hands, but it can move about and be controlled by concentration and will alone.

Natural Abilities: Since I became a pig I seem to have developed a very good sense of smell. I also seem to be a better jumper. Running around on my own four hooves, I mean feet,*shakes his head* has given me a lot of exercise. Humph! And despite what my friends might say I have a very good sense of direction. I can find my own way through the WildeWood of the Grove after all.
Occupation(s): Cleric of Tymora, and Guardian of the Grove
Financial Status: I have a small stash of precious stones. I do occasionally barter for things I can’t make myself, but still find useful.


Family
Mother: Arissa Arbella, Tavern Maid, at the Silver Wink (deceased.) Mother was a kind woman, but I don’t remember much else about her now. She died while I was very young.
Father: Lord Filfor Woodbrand, Lord of Waymoot. After Mother died, father took me into his care in the keep. He made no secret that I was his son, legitimate or not. I was always impressed and a little dazed by father’s incredible strength. My father was a busy man, and I left home around the age where we might have started to develop a real relationship. Ah well.
Brothers: None
Sisters: None
Half/Step/Adopted Siblings: Rolan, (knight) Wies, (knight) and Mattan (Merchant, and wagonwright.) Woodbrand, I never really got along with my half brothers. They teased me a lot and though Rolan was always fair to me, I still felt some distance between us. I haven’t seen any of them in years.

Spouse: None
Children:None

Possessions
(Clothing: ) a bright yellow and black neckerchief, I mean bandanna. I also wear battle robes, in a lovely shade of green and brown, green cloth wrapped around my upperarms, brown and green leather boots, a yelllow cloth belt and my eyeglasses. I also have a yellow T-shrit and some black jeans that TreeSprite was kind enough to get me when we first arrived in Paragon. She won't tell me where she got them.
Jewelry: A silver disk on a leather cord; I usually wear it under robes. A silver clasp and chain with the Sacred blue gem of Tymora

Weapons: The broken halves of a staff (normally left in the Blackberry bush), an official red Rider miniature BB gun. (Also normally left in the Blackberry bush.)
Armor: a suit of leather scale armor I wear under my robes.
Magical Items/Artifacts (and their powers): The Sacred blue gem of Tymora, I was entrusted with its protection. I don’t know exactly what it does. See as I was heading out on my first adventure, adventure found me. I was taking a small trail through the forest just outside of Waymoot when this farmer ran out screaming about a ghost in his barn. Well I heard a howl coming out of that barn that sounded like the wind through the Keep in winter, so I went in to see if I could banish the spirit. I learned quite a bit in that first encounter. Firstly that spirits think it’s funny if you try to hit them with your staff, and that I stink at making a magic fire do anything other than burn the barn I’m trying to save. I also learned that things aren’t always as they appear. It seems this spirit was sent by Lady Tymora to lead me to the hidden location of her sacred blue gem.

Currency: and a Gerbal named Newton, normally Influence (the currency of Paragon City)
Tools/Utensils: Buster leaves lots of stuff lying about, but it’s not really (mine.)
Books/Scrolls: I donated all of my books to the Juniper. The treant seemed quite happy about it.
Food: I miss my Blackberry bush, I'm a bit hungry.
Medicinal Items/Herbs: None
Are any of your possessions sentient? No, at least I don't think so.


Character Depth

Hmm, well I guess I can be a bit moody ,but I do try to help when I can. Like that time that TreeSprite got herself stuck to the frozen pole that Kat_05 told her was a giant candy cane. I still can’t believe she did that. I did take the opportunity to tease her for getting herself into that situation, but I did pull her loose, though she did complain and we ended up in a tangled mess. That was fun, and a nice little distraction from my sworn duty. I have taken a vow to be a living shield standing between those who would live peacefully in the Grove, and the Chaos that would seek to destroy it. It is a task, which I dare not fail, and it has driven me to travel between the Realms once again.
