[b]Name[/b]: Grimdal "Grim" Springsky
[b]Race[/b]: Shield Dwarf
[b]Class[/b]: Circle of Stars Druid
[b]Alignment[/b]: Lawful Good
[b]Personality Traits[/b]:
[list][*]If someone is in trouble, I'm always ready to lend help.
[*]I'm confident in my own abilities and do what I can to instill confidence in others.[/list]
[b]Ideal[/b]: People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
[b]Bond[/b]: I protect those who cannot protect themselves.
[b]Flaw[/b]: The people who knew me when I was young know my shameful secret, so I can never go home again.

[b]Appearance[/b]: At 37, Grim is still in what Dwarves would consider his "teenage years." On the shorter side for a Shield Dwarf, Grim stands 1.3 meters in height (4'4"), with a broad yet still lean build that reflects his youth.  He has icy blue eyes and a round face that is rather naked for a dwarf, but his beard will not start to grow for another decade at least. He had a fiery red-gold hair that was kept just off the shoulders, typically with at least one braid, which was often worn on the right side of the head. He favored simple clothing, typically just a jerkin over a plain shirt, and maintained the habit of avoiding metal armor or shields. When he spoke, he had a distinctive Dwarvish accent.

[b]Personality[/b]: As a diminutive, "Grim" is a joke of sorts. While Grimdal is a common enough Dwarven name, "Grim" is the complete opposite of the warmth, sincerity, and sheer [i]40-going-on-16[/i] energy of the young Dwarf. True to the stereotype, Grim can get lost in labors of love, being fond of manual tasks others might describe as hard work. Warm, but reserved. Quiet, yet first to offer a hand or a mug of ale. Grim might not be the most outspoken member of the group, but he is steadfast, curious, and bold. [i]Storms may come, but the sun always rises[/i], is Grim's attitude in times of hardship. He is confident, and that extends to being confident about the hope that he clings to. He can be serious, but grim isn't a word to describe him.
 
[b]History[/b]:Born into a circle nestled within the quiet farming community of Bowshot, Grim grew up in the Sword Coast region. He tended the soil, learning how to grow medicines to sooth ailments, and looked up at the stars at night to learn how to read the stories that are written across the sky. That quiet, pastoral life took a turn when merchants, greedily seeking a vein of silver from nearby caverns, provoked a group of Drow, who then attacked the village. When others ran, Grim stood his ground. And another Dwarf had his back when he did. When the dust had cleared, together, they started the hard work of helping the people to mend both their lives and their homes. People called them [i]the Grim Hand of Hope[/i] and the [i]Shining Blade[/i]. Small legends, but legends all the same. At least, in their little hamlet on the Sword Coast.

There are those who say [i]its the hope that kills you.[/i]

The [i]Shining Blade[/i] died. And Grim put Bowshot behind him, selling his skills in reading the stars and ailing the sick for passage aboard a ship sailing over the Sea of Swords. Where was he going? What was his purpose? He looked to the stars to try and find the answers, but instead found himself in the company of a mixed group of companions. He still wasn't certain just where he was going, but being with them gave him purpose enough to keep putting one foot in front of the other and finding ways to keep busy or be useful.
