CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Deryn
Gender: Male
Age:Early 20s
Place of Birth: Cimmeria
Profession (tanner, adventurer, stable boy, tracker, etc): Scribe.
Physical Description: Slightly above average height. Lean and trim muscles. Broad chest and wide shoulders. Long, straight, brown hair, braided in the cimmerian style, and neatly trimmed beard. Brown eyes. His once straight nose has been broken at some point and carries a slightly crookedness and scars across it.
Mental Description: A quietly spoken young man. He is obviously well educated and well versed in other cultures. Is slightly nervy among strangers but once he gets to know people he can be quite talkative and confident. Has a very slight cimmerian accent that tends to fade the more he talks and the more confident he feels around people. Can be quite jumpy in certain situations and is most at home either in the company of those he trusts or with his head in a book.
Background: The tale he tells people: He's the youngest son of a clan chief, well educated in civilized ways and other cultures then given a weapon and sent off to find his own path in the world. He's traveled somewhat, selling his services as a scribe when needed and his minimal skills with a weapon when times were hardest.
Now he thinks times are too dangerous for someone with only limited skill at fighting and he heard a rumor about an order of scholars. The thought crossed his mind that they might need a trained scribe.
