I hope this works ^^ [b]Name[/b]: Leaf [b]Race[/b]: “Wizard’s Pet” [b]Race Description[/b]: Leaf is a squirrel. Well, at least to the common, untrained eye. Or until the moment where he starts to speak. Leaf was created by a scientist wizard who needed someone, or something, to manage the machinery in his tower. It needed to be small to be able to fit through all the gaps and it needed to be nimble to be able to manoeuvre into those tight little spots. After several experiments and countless failures, the wizard managed to create Leaf through the means of drugs mixed with sorcery. It gave the squirrel what appears to be a prolonged lifespan, and human intelligence. Leaf’s size was also enlarged so that he’d fit the job perfectly. [b]Age[/b]: 20 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Appearance[/b]: Standing at 3 feet, Leaf seems like a bigger squirrel.

[b]Off-Hand Weapon[/b]: [url=http://www.cosplayhouse.com/images/D/Diablo-3-Cosplay-Prop-Demon-Hunter-Crossbow-Version-01-2.jpg]One handed, simple crossbow with a foldable bow.[/url] [b]Skills/Abilities[/b]: Leaf is a very witty inventor and engineer, having created his crossbow and various other gadgets for his master. It wasn’t rare that Leaf was tasked to create ranged weapons, mostly because the old wizard was in the last set of years his body would allow and magic was starting to become too straining on his frame. Needless to say, Leaf is completely worthless in close combat. He has little physical strength to speak of but has a good aim and knows how to use his crossbow well. [b]Magic[/b]: Nun’ Dat. [b]Inventory[/b]: Leaf carries a small shoulder bag containing - Three extra clips for his crossbow. - Four extra bolts for his sidearm. - A small pouch of nuts. - A flask of water. - A telescope he sometimes attaches to his crossbow. - One gold piece. [b]Backstory[/b]: Leaf was created not only as a helper but also as a friend of his master, the gnomish archmage Anchonius. It was said by the nearby village that the man could do anything with a single snap of his fingers, but while it wasn’t far from the truth, the wizard was still mortal. Leaf asked at times why Anchonius didn’t prolong his life, like he had done for his friend the squirrel, but he would always answer with ‘I have lived long enough. An old man can only care to see so much.’ Since his creation, Leaf was taught how to manage the various machinations in the tower and quickly found a love for inventing and creating his own projects. Having been constantly hunted by eagles and vultures, and other big animals, Leaf created his crossbow to keep him safe which has indeed lived up to the task. While a curious and inventive little fellow, Leaf is rather quiet and tended to bury himself in his work. At times, he could go days without ever seeing his master. The only thing he loves more than creating things is testing them, and improving them. A comfortable and rather lovely life would eventually come to an end, however. As age struck Anchonius from the world, Leaf was left to fend for himself. The tower no longer held as much colour as it used to, and without the gnomes magic, it quickly grew grey and stale. With little else to do, Leaf left the tower in search for new knowledge. His aim would be to reach the gnomish cities, wherever they were located. Having ended up in human lands wasn’t exactly his primary goal but from there, perhaps he could indeed find the gnomish paradise he was hoping for. [b]Personality[/b]: Leaf is quiet, witty and self confidant. Despite being small and rather fragile, he is calm and incredibly collected. He does however have a paralysing fear of spiders, especially the ones who make a home in the dark pits of large machinery. Leaf usually wears a mellow smile and keeps his eyes ever vigilant. His silence can sometimes be mistaken for shyness, but in truth Leaf rather listens than speaks. It offers more clarity. Leaf enjoys company, if not for the social pleasure then for the pure safety in numbers. Being curious as he is, Leaf enjoys listening to stories and various pieces of lore. Knowledge is after all power and there is always something new to learn.
