Whisper :: (Read-Only) - Myth-Weavers

Description

Whisper is short for a whisper gnome, but is of average height for a normal gnome. He is also more skinny than most whisper gnomes, weighing about the same as a halfling. His bright amber eyes are offset by his black hair that looks like it was lopped off with a none-too-sharp dagger. His sharp nose, clean-shaven, pointy chin, and thin face make him look a little like an elf child. His studded leather armor is complemented by the rapier at his hip.

Personality

Whisper understands that there are two things which are true of all people:

The first is that everyone has a question. This question is the very center of his person. It shapes the way he understands his past, the way he acts in his present and the way he prepares for his future.

The second is that everyone has a self which he tries to hide, and rightfully so, for this self is his most valued possession and the part of him that is most vulnerable. A person's self is the guide for his reactions and the person who appears when he is stressed to the point where his facade breaks.

Whisper realizes that, if he can understand a person's self and that person's question, then he can manipulate the person with impunity. Thus he is constantly searching for the question as well as the self of every person that he meets. This can not be done through direct questioning, though, because most people do not know these things about themselves, and no one would give up those secrets willingly, even if he did know them. So the question and self of a person must be ascertained through observation.

Whisper also searches for his own question and his self. He knows the power held in them, so he realizes that it is imperative that he find his own before another does. Unfortunately, even if he knew them before his memory loss he has lost the answers to his questions.

Because of his intense observation and his general lack of social graces, Whisper is often taken for self-absorbed and distant. He doesn't worry about these suppositions, though, because it is better that people think him standoffish than realize that he is observing them; if they knew he was watching, then they would change their actions. He encourages the assumptions that others make of him by acting stoic and detached. He also often acts bored or distracted.

He chooses to use illusions and enchantment because it is fascinating to him why a particular person more easily accepts his fictions than another person.
