Rosharan A.C.

Name: Desmund Kreylaw

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Physical Characteristics: Thin with a slightly above-average height. Not particularly muscular, but not scrawny, and can carry his own weight. Brown wavy hair, cut very short on the sides and a couple inches longer on the top. He has hazel eyes. 

Investiture: Trained briefly in the ways of forgery (three years of training, plus two learning on his own). Carries several basic stamps of his own creation, and eagerly looks for opportunities to use them. 

Skills: Taught himself how to use a sword, which he handles with average skill. He also knows basic hand to hand combat from his time as a mercenary. In a fight, he can generally hold his own, although he likes using his stamps to give him the upper hand. He is musically inclined, and can play the lute and piano with grace. 

Equipment: His clothes include standard trousers and a blue coat, both of which have many pockets, and a dark blue cloak with silver trim. He keeps a satchel with all of his soulstamps, a tin of ink, and a chisel. Strapped to his back is both a steel sword and a lute with delicate carvings. Around his person are several other small pieces of seemingly random equipment, including but not limited to: tape, a pocketknife, a few feet of rope, a lighter, chalk, a deck of cards, paper, and a bar of soap.

Regarding His Stamps: Most of his stamps correspond with equipment he keeps with him. He can currently change the following: 

• His sword to a crowbar.
• His sword to several other shapes/lengths, for different situations.
• His shoes to a pair of sturdy boots; another stamp adds spikes for difficult terrain. 
• His nice clothing to tattered clothing.
• His lute to a long wooden pole. 
• His pocketknife to a lock pick.

Backstory: 

      Growing up, Desmund’s family was very familiar with the arts. His parents taught him how to be delicate and creative, and he quickly gained a love for music and all kinds of art. More than making art, however, he loved to learn about it, to know pieces of art and beauty, and to observe them in detail. Through the years, he became very observant, yet outspoken at the same time. He left home as a teenager, seeking adventure, and wishing to find all of the world’s beautiful pieces of art and expression. 

       Things became hard though, and for some time, he earned a living as a mercenary, where he learned to fight. However, he never let go of his dreams, and eventually an old fellow found Desmund and took the young man under his wing. Unbeknownst to Desmund, the man was an experienced forger and worldhopper. Recognizing Desmund’s love of creativity, and his desire to know art, not just make it, he decided to train the boy in forgery, and leave Desmund his secrets before he passed from this world. Unfortunately, the man passed on not only his knowledge, but his enemies. Their training was cut short when these enemies eventually tracked down the two, and ended his mentor’s life.  But, realizing he might soon meet his end, the old man told Desmund about worldhopping, and his travels to other planets, before he was killed. He tasked Desmund with continuing his work, and developing his skills as a forger. Desmund escaped, and took these words to heart. He eventually found his way to the Alleyverse, where he hopes to fulfill his master’s wish, and improve his forgery. 

Weakness: He has a hard time making decisions, and overthinks things very often. He is still relatively new at forgery, and must take lots of time to create even simple soulstamps. 

Family: His father, mother, sister, and two brothers live on Sel. He does not know what became of them after he left home.

Home Planet: Sel

Guild: unaffiliated

Personality: He is quite observant, and prefers to know all he can about the things around him. Desmund likes people, and likes to help those in need, but will not get too involved in dangerous situations unless it is necessary. He also makes sure to be prepared for any situation. He is used to traveling, so all of his belongings fit on his person
