[Hider=Zook, The Bard] [h3]Zook Ingvagest[/h3][hr] [IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/5pmy42.jpg[/IMG] [u][b]1. Appearance:[/b][/u] Zook is a Gnome, standing at 4'8". Handsome, with a short shock of bleach blonde hair on his head (which is actually a wig). He has magically altered his eyes to change colors, alternate and otherwise look [i]intense, piercing, mysterious, otherworldy[/i] and other such adjectives. He has a small goatee that gives him a devilish look and a not-quite-perfect nose that may have been broken in a fight at some point. He dresses in fine, almost dandy-fied garb that is pretentious but maybe ironic? He carries an impressively crafted lute, a silver pan-pipe and a small drum that he keeps on his belt next to a flask of strong Gnomish spirits and a nasty looking dagger. [u][b]2. Name:[/b][/u] "Zook" Thadlazook Ingvagest [u][b]3. Bio:[/b][/u] born to a wealthy family in Braisden Knoll, a gnomish fortress city, Zook was on the path to becoming a wealthy merchant lord. Instead he became infatuated with the great Bardess, Zirkla and chased her around. His parents were appalled and decided they wanted nothing to do with him. Zook eventually joined Zirkla's travelling troupe learning the tricks of the trade, showmanship, music and theatre. Backed up by his aristocratic education, Zook soon surpassed Zirkla's skills as a performer and kicked poor Zook out of the troupe. Nonplussed, Zook fled Braisden Knoll in search of new lands to entertain. [/hider]
