Player: Cid
Name: Sydney Yote Longlance
Origin: Nomad, wandered in from lands to the east
Age: 23
Gender: male
Alignment: good, if a little ruthless
Afflictions: A good many battle scars
Occupation: Hunter and sellsword
Possessions: Three sets buckskin trousers
Three buckskin shirts
One leather vest, mountain goat
One buffalo robe
One cloak, coyote fur, with head as hood
Two pair buckskin moccasins
One longsword, double-edged, Celtic-style, with scabbard and belt (blade is engraved to read 'Fang')
One spear (Head is engraved to read 'Viper')
One knife, Ka-Bar, with sheath
One atlatl (dart-thrower), elkhorn

One horse, Tennesse Walker/Thoroughbred cross, named 'Traveller'
One ringmail shirt, a size too large
One helmet, bowl-type
One sling, leather
Appearance: Cid stands five-feet seven-inches tall, lean and whipcord-thin, but all muscle. His hair, which he wears in a single braid down to the base of his neck, is honey blond. His complexion is tanned by long years in the sun and elements. His eyes are vivd green
Personality: Cid is a quiet man, not given to talking for long periods of time, and tends to come across as somewhat gruff. In reality he's very sensitive, and deeply cared for the few people in his life that he considered friends or family. He doesn't like talking about how he came to be a wanderer, however.
Skills & Abilities: Proficient tracker and hunter, quite skilled as a horseman, and cold death with Viper or his atlatl
Knowledge: Working knowledge of herb- and animal-lore, some broken Lakota and a decent grasp of military tactics
Strengths: Make sure that you balance your strengths with your weaknesses.
– Social: Fiercely loyal to all he considers friends
– Career: Honest in his business dealings
– Combat: Deadly with spear or atlatl, quite fast
– Intelligence: Somewhat above average
Weaknesses:
– Social: Comes across as gruff and abrasive on first acquaintence; tends to swear a good bit
– Career: His short temper tends to scare away possible jobs
– Combat: Atlatl can't penetrate chain-, ring-, or other metal mail except at extreme close range
– Intelligence: Lacks common sense, lets his temper control him somewhat
History: Born in what used to be Tennessee, Cid grew up the son of a sharecropper in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. At twelve he killed his first man, a bandit who tried to rob him, his older brother, Mal, and their father as they were on their way to market. Cid got a lucky cast in with his atlatl and drove a dart into the bandit's eye. Shortly after he turned sixteen his family was killed in a raid by Cherokee and he left, swearing never to return to the family home. He struck out west and paid his way by hunting and serving as a contractor in various armies and militias as he moved toward the setting sun. Finally, he came to the Willamette, and having heard tales of the nations there, decided to settle down there and ply his trade.
Additional Notes: None at this time.
