Stranger

From Bard's Lore

Stranger is a human played by CelticKraut.

The stranger.


Description

The Stranger wears a simple looking outfit that consists of a tan cloth shirt, baggy pants with several pockets and a unique pattern of tan, green and brown, Leather lace up boots (also tan), and a large Bag of Holding on his back. At his left and right sides are two different rigid holsters, each molded somehow to be a perfect fit for the items they carry. In the left holster, is a relatively large knife, not unlike a standard dagger seen in Hyphantonar. This knife, however, is completely black, contrasting the tan color of its containing holster. On the opposite side of the knife, the right holster contains a firearm. This firearm, also all black, is very blocky looking. More modern looking than a flintlock pistol, yet not quite so futuristic as a plasma weapon, this firearm doesn't look quite like any other weapon seen in Hyphantonar to-date. Equally otherworldly looking is the strange larger weapon slung by a strap on the Stranger's right shoulder. The weapon, a rifle of sorts, is black (consistent with the other weapons the Stranger carries), and has what can only be described as a. . . mechanical. . . look to it. A normal resident of Hyphantonar would be forgiven for not recognizing the device as a weapon at all. The Stranger has an above average height and build for a human, and carries himself in a way that portrays a blend of a soldier's confidence and the caution of a man in an unfamiliar place. His deep, gravelly voice also contributes to his militaristic portrayal. When speaking with the Stranger, his gruff, yet friendly tone will be the first thing a person notices. If the person continues conversation with the Stranger, a second thing they might notice is that, when discussing a person or a place in his past (or even attempting to mention his own name), The Stranger's voice will completely go mute. The Stranger will not even be able to mouth the word he was attempting to say. It's as if some outside force is preventing him from mentioning specific names from his past. According to the Stranger, this affliction has something to do with his "Sponsor", the person(?) responsible for the Strangers appearance in Hyphantonar.

Personality

Unless he has to be, the Stranger is not a secretive man. The only thing preventing him from sharing more about himself is his unique inability to mention specific places or people from his past. Other than that, to those he has traveled with, he has shared stories of his past as a military man. While not particularly a spokesman, the Stranger has that special down-to-earth (occasionally bordering on macabre) sense of humor that comes from a life spent as a soldier. His training has taught him to always watch the back of his fellow soldiers, and he is a good guy to have around when things get out of hand.
