He believes that this, like many things in the world, cannot be rushed, and as such, he spends his days carefree, exploring where his whims take him. He is fascinated by all of the new places and things he's seen in his travels and wishes to learn more about the world. Although he's often dismissed as a hillbilly due to his lack of formal education and his superstitious beliefs, Pesha is surprisingly sharp and adaptable. He's well aware of the state of the world and while he knows that not everything is songs and roses, he also firmly believes that a little music can make life a bit less bleak. [h3][b][i][color=6ecff6][center]Skills[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [color=6ecff6][i][center]A listing of skills, such as horseback riding or cooking. Levels include novice (1 pt), apprentice (2 pt), journeyman (3 pt), expert (4 pt), master (5 pt). Each character can spend 21 points & only two skills can be mastered. If your character knows magic, it counts as a skill.[/center][/i][/color] [list] [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Performance (Master):[/color][/b] Growing up as part of a travelling troupe, it was natural that Pesha learned to perform from a young age. He favors playing the flute and the lute, though he's also had experience with dancing and singing. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Quarterstaff (Master):[/color][/b] Being part of a travelling troupe, Pesha spent much of his life travelling between villages and towns. As such, safety from the wildlife was a major concern and Pesha learned to wield a quarterstaff from an early age. Having practiced for years, his skill with the quarterstaff rivals those of his elders. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Riding (Expert):[/color][/b] The primary means of transportation for the troupe. While the troupe did not have enough deer steeds for everyone to ride, he has had a fair amount of experience, often serving as a scout. Being around the animals, he has also had plenty of experience of caring for them. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Wilderness Survival (Expert):[/color][/b] The troupe often spent the evenings outside, sometimes because there were no towns nearby, and sometimes because they weren't welcome. In any case, Pesha has had experience helping set up shelters and gathering food. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Diplomacy (Apprentice):[/color][/b] The troupe was not always welcome to the towns they arrived at. Other times, the villages would try to pay them less than their initial agreement. In these situations, the troupe leader would go negotiate, stressing that anger and violence would not solve their problems. Pesha has learned the basics of negotiation and has seen the the troupe leader negotiating before. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Archery (Novice):[/color][/b] Although Pesha has practiced archery somewhat in the past, he devoted most of his time to training with the quarterstaff. He considers the bow too bulky and inconvenient to carry in his travels, though he could use one in a pinch.

While on good terms with them, he has not seen them recently due to his travels. [b][color=6ecff6]Siblings:[/color][/b] none [b][color=6ecff6]Childhood:[/color][/b] Growing up in a travelling troupe, Pesha doesn't remember a night without some sort of music, story, or celebration. Life was simple, performing in small towns they stopped by and living off of the land when they weren't near civilization. Despite the simplicity, every day was busy, whether with quarterstaff practice or with preparations for a performance. [b][color=6ecff6]Adulthood:[/color][/b] As is traditional in the troupe, Pesha left the troupe at the age of 18 in search of the Song. He would be considered a full member of the troupe when he brought back the performance to add to the community repertoire. Some return in a year, some in five, and some never, choosing to settle down instead. While there is no doubt in his mind that he will eventually return, he is in no rush, eager to explore the world outside of small towns and wilderness. [b][color=6ecff6]Special Moments:[/color][/b] Pesha still remembers the day he finished carving his first quarterstaff after months of work. While not a carpenter by any stretch, it is tradition to craft one's first weapon and many continue to craft their own weapons. He also fondly remembers his sending off celebration, which was the last time he has seen the other members of his troupe. [b][color=6ecff6]Current Events:[/color][/b] Currently, Pesha is wandering from town to town, making a living as he always has. While he plans to head to the capital, having never seen a large city, he also doesn't mind taking a detour, visiting some other places on the way.

[/hider] I'd be interested in taking the magic concept of travel.
