[Ribbon]

Name: Hatch Renoit
World: Shara-Tel
Age: 58
Gender: Male
Race: Genasi, earth
Class: Fighter
Background: Mercenary
Social Status: Warrior caste. This often means that depending on the location Hatch might be treated as a noble soldier or as an ignorant barbarian
Hair: Black (sometimes shaved)
Eyes: Dark gray
Skin: Light stone gray
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 210 lbs
Body Type: Athletic

Appearance: As a fighter Hatch has the kind of body one would expect. He is large and solidly built. Depending on the course of his life Hatch will grow his hair out and braid it into a single plait down the back of his neck or shave his head bald. As a Genasi his features are evocative of the earth. Depending on the season and how the light falls on him his skin can be stone gray or earth brown, his eyes burgundy or slate.

Attire: When about town Hatch wears a tunic and slacks, a belt and a pouch, and his weapons. When in active combat he wears what the occasion calls for and is proficient in chain mail and heavier plate; he will also often wear leather and bolster his defense by blade ward. Hatch rarely wears shoes.

Personality: Hatch is contemplative about his actions. He is a strategist that considers multiple paths to the same goal and leaves himself a way out. Because his methodical nature leads to a strong sense of certainty it also means that Hatch can be stubborn and short sighted, committed to the path he puts himself on with the heft and inertia of a boulder rolling down hill.

Flaw: In addition to the shortcomings of his personality Hatch remembers every insult and nurses a silent resentment toward anyone who's wronged him. Strongly attached to the earth Hatch also prefers to be outside, on the ground floor when he has to be inside, and with ready access to a window when both inside and high up.

Skills: Athletics; insight; intimidation; perception.

Talents: Darkvision (see in the dark); earth walk (move easy across difficult terrain); merge with stone (can easily cast Blade Ward cantrip).

Equipment: Chain mail; shield; longsword; hand axes; dagger; explorer's pack.

Backstory: WIP

LOOK

Verner Riordan is of average height and wiry build. Shaggy hair obscures a face often marked either with tired, distant eyes or a look of intense concentration. Close examination of his eyes reveals highly fluid pupils that glint in dim light. These, a product of his own experimentation, grant him both sharp night vision and an unsettling presence; both useful in his career as a night musician.

He dresses in patched-up urban wear, mixing pragmatism with the chaotic aesthetic of his art and his city, a medley of neon highlights and scuffed leathers. His fingers seem to be always in motion, if not flicking objects on a screen and tapping on a keyboard and scribbling notes on the backs of receipts or handy litter, then fiddling with themselves. Faint scars and subdermal implants hint at his history of reckless self-modification.

FEEL

Verner is a second-generation immigrant from Earth Prime ("eep"), who carries the weight of cultural displacement and a deep mistrust of authority. His paranoia, sometimes justified, keeps him constantly on edge, interpreting the city's endless surveillance and churn as personal threats. He thrives in the underbelly of the urban sprawl, balancing risky alliances with natural cunning. Beneath the distrust and bravado is an artist desperate to channel his inner turmoil into something meaningful.

BE

Verner lives a dual life as a musician and information runner. He uses the natural cover his nighttime gigs all over the city provide to smuggle data on the sly. He's a habitual drug user, both for the escapism and to fuel his creative process, often blending his highs with biohacking experiments. His talents as an above-average electronic and biohacker make him a valuable ally and a dangerous enemy for those operating on the fringe. Though flawed, Verner's relentless pursuit of self-expression makes him a wildcard in a city full of calculated risks.
