I'm gonna post this on my website eventually, so people can access it from my profile, but here's the draft I have now. I'll do smalltype so it doesn't take so much room...

Elven Citizen Aylad MacOdys of the (Forest)
Class: Alchemist
Alignment: Good
Personality:
Aylad is an intelligent, wandering elf who is in tune with nature. Although he usually prefers to live a solitary life, holding himself apart from other people, Aylad has recently become intrigued with the changes taking place in the Graal Kingdoms. As a result, he is gradually emerging from his reclusive life in the wilderness and entering a more social lifestyle.
Aylad prefers to use brains over brawn. He practices simple alchemy as a means of earning platinum. Although he is familiar with some shamanistic/elemental magics, Aylad rarely uses anything more than simple alchemical incantations.
Despite being antisocial by nature, Aylad is often willing to guide those with less knowledge of the Graal Kingdoms. He feels guilty if he fails to help someone in need. Those who wish to take advantage of his helpfulness, however, more often find themselves talking to an empty room. Aylad is peaceful, chivalrous toward courteous ladies, and generally honest.
On the other hand, Aylad is also a bit opportunistic, and rarely hesitates to invoke the "finders keepers" rule. Beware if you leave a ship or valuable merchandise unguarded! If the rightful owner returns while Aylad is making his escape, the elf will freely return all (or most) of the things he "borrowed". But if he can escape unseen, Aylad will have no inhibitions about selling or using anything he gained while the owner was away...
Aylad is no merchant, but often has just the thing you're looking for. He will bargain with you, but his price is not set in stone and you may talk him down a bit. His travels allow him to collect many useful items, which more stationary people might not possess.
History:
Little is known about Aylad's past. As a baby, the MacOdys clan, a family of forest druids, discovered him abandoned in the wilderness. Rescuing him from a Battle Potato, the druids took him home and raised him. When Aylad was still a young lad, a pack of marauding Evil Bomies and Smokies swept through the clan's homestead north of Tanarthia. Aylad was believed to be dead with the rest of his adopted family, but eventually was seen wandering along the outskirts of Palmaloma. Since then, the "forest hermit" has been seen ranging over several of the Graal Islands, making a scant living by selling items he collects or mixes in his cauldron. He sometimes sails from island to island, often giving rides to others of his kingdom (or from other kingdoms, for a price!). |
