Outward Appearance

Race/ethnicity - Man, from Gondor originally.

 

Skin tone - Tanned by the sun, though still fair compared to some others

 

Height - He stands at six foot and two inches, tall amongst Bree-landers though average amongst others.

 

Build - His body is toned, with defined muscles though he does not have the build of a berserker. He is large enough to wear heavy armour, though he can still move quietly if he tried.

 

Eyes - Dark blue, with a hint of grey in.

 

Hair - Dark brown hair, to his shoulder and sometimes swept onto one side of his face more, by accident mostly. He has a brown beard to go with it, when in town it is trimmed though when he wanders he does not keep it neat and it grows rugged.

 

Tattoos, Piercings, Marks, Scars, etc He has a scar going down over his eye, made from a sword. A new scar on his forehead, from a club and more recently he has got a tattoo upon his right bicep, of an elk.

 

Appearance -  He stands tall, and hooded when travelling. Dressed in the colours of browns, greens and greys (though sometimes whites), he blends in with the lands he travels in, not one to stand out. He travels lightly, some may say underprepared, though he has learnt well enough to live off the lands. When his hood is not up, his brown hair falls to his shoulders with his brown beard usually trimmed neatly, with white teeth hiding underneath – sometimes cracked from the cold – lips. With him follows the scent of the woods; earthy and rich.

 

Religion  He believes, like most, in Illuvatar. He also partially believes in spirits of the world, as well as spirit animals that some people talk about. His own being an elk, as told to him by an elderly soothsayer.

 

Education – He knows how to read and write, both words and maps. He is a good sketcher, and knows Sindarin rather well. He has been taught how to fight with a sword and shield and is now learning how to ride a horse, something he is not the best at.

 

Language spoken Westron, Sindarin and he also knows hand gestures and signs.

 

Weapons – He carries a one handed sword on him at almost all times, as well as a dagger in a sheath underneath his cloak. He sometimes carries a large metal round shield of Gondor, and also a two handed sword on his back. He carries a quiver and a bow with him as well.

 

Occupation He is a Vagabond. He travels the lands going where he pleases doing what he pleases. To get coin, he does however “sell his sword” on occasion, though he also loots the brigands he has killed to get more.

 

Special abilities/Skills He does not have much special about him, apart from the knowledge he knows about fighting and other things.

 

Problems/Flaws His biggest problem is his wanderlust.

 

Some of his names :

Hiath – The name he was given at birth, named after his grandfather, making him Hiath II.

The Vagabond – What he is; a wanderer who travels the lands where he pleases. 

Haerandir - What he is known as to the elves, meaning Far Wanderer

 

 

 

Background

His grandfather, Hiath I, a full blooded Dunadan of the North, travelled for some unknown reason to the South where he met Ioreth, a full blooded Dunedain of the South. They travelled to Gondor, and settled in Ethring in the Ringlo Vale. There they had their first son, Iorlas.

Iorlas travelled all over the coast of Gondor, until one day he met and fell in love with a fair maiden of Gondor named Ivorwen. They married and settled in Ivorwen's home of Ithilien. There she had a child, Hiath II, named after his grandfather. 

Born in Ithilien, his parents remained there for a while and he learnt the basics of his life with his cousins. After that, they travelled Gondor together until he finally left on his own to explore the lands to the North, something he has never regretted.

Other than this, he does not talk much of his background.
