He is exactly the type of person who would blend into a crowd without being noticed and there is nothing particularly strange about his appearance. His eyes are brown, his hair is black and he has no identifying markings, scars or tattoos. When he first arrived to the Underynth, he was wearing a fairly plain outfit of jeans, a white t-shirt, a green outdoor jacket and sneakers. Having spent considerable time in the Underynth, his current apperance is different. He changed the sneakers for sturdy boots and his green jacket for a tougher one made of canvas and kevlar. For armor he wears a British WW1-styled helmet and a half-mask rebreather scavenged from the wreck of a submarine as well as a metal chest plate forged by a friend made from a chunk of starfighter armor, with an armored skirt that goes down to his shins and opens up at the front and back. To store items he primarily uses a square Napoleonic-esque backpack with bedroll, hooks, pouches and sacks attached to it, assisted by modern police leg pouches. In terms of weapons Wisher carries a kite shield with an unknown mark on it, a bill hook halberd, a pouch of molotovs, an enchanted burning cutlass, and a flintlock hidden behind his back.[/quote] [b]Origin: Unknown[/b] [quote]When Wisher awoke in the Underynth, he had absolutely no recollection of his past life or even who he was, having forgotten even his name. He was lucky and saved by a well meaning old Orc but failed to give his name as he didn't even have a wallet or ID card on him and the only thing on him was a note that began with "I wish" with the rest too illegible and smudged to read. At the Orc's suggestion, he took on the name Wisher and continued to live a new life in the Underynth.[/quote] [b]Outlook & Personality:[/b] [quote]Without much of a grounding in a previous life, Wisher takes his new life mostly in stride, trying to make the best of everything while continuing to search for anything that might connect him to the life he forgot. He tries to see the good in people and in the world around him. Wisher was heavily influenced by the old Orc who rescued him and characterized by a relentless determination and a stalwart anti-nihilist view, believing that the Underynth is some kind of after life and nothing in it matters and can be pretty terrible at times but uses it as fuel to try and do good and help others. Once he sets his mind to something he will go to great lengths to pursue it but the trouble is getting him to set his mind on something.[/quote] [b]Dreams & Fears[/b] [quote]Wisher desperately wants to learn anything about his past beyond the note in his pocket thus finding it out is his desire while being unable to is one of his fears. The other is a deep instinctual fear of being completely alone, isolated and outcast, for reasons he isn't quite sure of but believes is also tied to his past. He also really fucking hates the giant bugs in the Underynth and will go to great lengths to avoid any tunnels or caves that has a nest of them inside.[/quote] [b][b]Misc:[/b][/b] [quote]He's proven to have an iron stomach, able to eat and drink things that others find unappetizing or even get sick from. Prefers to carry torches, lanterns and other non-electrical lights after a bad exprience with them repeatedly shorting out in dark tunnels. The only reason he also has a section describing his armor and weapons is because he is an example of a character who has spent a long time and "acclimated" to the Underynth; your own characters will not have the same level of equipment starting out. (Also if you couldn't tell, the Underynth typically has a post-apoc vibe with anachronistic elements thrown in, although this isn't universal, especially with more established settlements, groups and nations.)[/quote][/hider]
