Afla

Afla "Dimples"
| Name | Afla |
|---|---|
| Occupation | Jack of all trades, master of none |
| Age | Late teens |
| Race | Man |
|---|---|
| Residence | He is bad with reading maps |
| Kinship | None |
| Outward Appearance | Afla, pronounced "Ef-lah"
Claiming to have boarded a caravan into the West, Afla would consider his home to be some cramped hut on the bank of The Great River. Where exactly? Well, he is no topographer. All he knows is that his traits resemble a lad from the South, and that he has seen the great open sea in all its splendour. Though, he was but a child.
Currently being no older than eighteen winters, Afla considers himself a Johnny do-it-all, lending his hand to locals for some silver where he can. This young man seems to stroll through life carelessly, half-long dark manes ever a mess and flashing a row of white teeth in his smirks. Thanks to the deep dimples in his sun-kissed cheeks, folk tend to go around giving him the epithet "Dimples", much to his dislike, wishing to show some masculinity. Truth be told, almost any grown man could topple him, being but a five foot six lad with little meat on his bones. A lean frame, but with toned muscle provided through 'hard labour' and running from outraged stall keepers after snatching an apple from the market. Mostly the latter. |

Background
Growing up in the far south of Gondor, Afla has spent his youth running over sand-topped hills and scrambling his way playfully through the rich dunes and plains. You will not find him spinning much tales of home, having been just a child when the caravan he mounted set off into the western realms. For someone without any bedrock to his life, he seems remarkably mirthful; plucking his lute merrily wherever the road takes him, even if it means his too-big grandfather’s boots will have to carry him for miles and miles off-road. He will figure out a way to spend-the-night as he goes, impulsiveness being high on his list of traits.
