Coltan Bluetemper

Name: Coltan Bluetemper

Character Concept: Raised by parents who traveled throughout Ansalom working as itinerant smiths.

Race, Background, Subclass: Hill Dwarf, Folk Hero, Forge Cleric

Description: This broad-shouldered dwarf of average height wears a holy amulet of Reorx.  His shoulder length dirty blonde hair and full beard are relatively unkempt compared to most dwarves you might meet. He has a nasty scar down the right side of his face and eyes that sparkle gold.  Chain mail peeks out from the layers of his well-mended but stained leather and wool traveling gear. His weapons' belt hangs a bluish steel warhammer, a handaxe, and a dagger. He shoulders a backpack and shield.

Upon more careful observation, you find his hands are large and calloused.  Burn scars randomly cover his hands and arms showing his career near a forge.  His well-maintained kit indicates decades of travel and fastidious maintenance.

Coltan's facial expressions are intense.  His resting face reflects his serious demeanor, maybe even angry if you don't know him well.  However, he is quick to laugh and smile, especially after a few beer. 

Your Character's Plothook: 2. Coltan and Ispin defended a community from a notorious band of goblin raiders.

Past is Prologue: Coltan was born in 300 AC at the home of his maternal grandparents in Hillhome, a Neidar village located west of Thorbardin on the Passroad.  After a year, Scoria née Fireforge rejoined her husband Norite Bluetemper on the road with their new son.  Norite and Scoria traveled Ansalon as itinerant blacksmiths visiting villages which do not have resident smiths.  For almost 50 years, Coltan has traveled the continent with his parents who seem to be friends with everyone.  Actually, not everyone likes them, but they have more friends and acquaintances than rivals.  Now, Coltan is as famous as his parents among the small villages and manors who don't have a resident blacksmith and the trails connecting them.

Sixteen years ago, he met Ispin when they defended a village from a notorious band of goblin raiders.  He got the scar on his face during this melee.  They then traveled together for months and have kept in touch over the years.

Last year, Coltan celebrated his Fullbeard Day in Hillhome with his parents and mother's family.  His parents gifted him a set of chain mail and warhammer of their own make and his own set of traveling smiths' tools.  However, inspired by his cousin Flint, Coltan decided to start traveling on his own. While his father was disappointed to separate from his only son, he grudgingly accepted it and gifted his personal holy symbol of Reorx to guide his son.

Truths, Rumors, and Lies:

1. [Truth] Coltan is a capable smith
2. [Lie] Coltan has a girl in every village
3. [Truth] He received the scar on his face from battling a goblin

Include at least two of the following:

• Is Might Right?  Coltan has seen the best of people governed within small communities and villages.  He would be skeptical of the corruption of larger governments which maintain armies.
• Diety.  Coltan inherited his divine beliefs from his parents that Reorx created the world, dwarves, and the ability of crafting.  While Reorx doesn't answer his prayers, his faith is no less strong.
• Music. He grew up next to a forge, so the sounds of striking hammers, breathing bellows, and hissing quenches comfort him, so the modern songs of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin would resonate with him.  In addition, he's a dwarf who likes to drink and party, so Irish drinking songs would be how he parties.
• Impressions.
  • Katlina Grovegust, Kender Monk - Coltan, Ispin, and Katlina became friends during the same goblin raid sixteen years ago.  They traveled together his Coltan's parents for months before Ispin and Katlina went separate ways.  Coltan and Katlina have run into each other over the years and traveled together.  She attended Coltan's Fullbeard Day in Hillhome last year and have been traveling together since then.  Katlina is an even-tempered, free-spirit traveling like a beautiful leaf on the wind.  She keeps the air light and makes Coltan smile, because he's usually too serious. 
  • Hunni Collic, Gully Dwarf - Coltan would constantly step back from her to restore his personal space.  He would marvel at her intelligence but not her hygiene.   Her persistent friendliness would buoy Coltan's usual seriousness demeanor.
  • Meryelle Keryndon, Half-Elf - Coltan would find her too academic and chalk it up to being elven.  Coltan crafts with his hands and his heart, so her intellectual perspective would be alien to him.
  • Wybil D'kazitwirx, Tinker Gnome - Coltan would believe that Wybil has been blessed by Reorx.  Although he would not understand him often, he would deeply respect his genius struggling to comprehend him.
• Connections.
  • Father: Norite "Nori" Bluetemper, father and smith
  • Mother: Scoria Bluetemper (nee Fireforge), mother and smith
  • Fireforge clan: maternal family
  • Rival: Beryl Frostbeard - Five years ago, Coltan crossed paths with Beryl, a older cranky Neidar dwarf.  At a tavern in front of a village, Beryl insulted Coltan's parents, especially his mother.  Being young and a little drunk, Coltan over-reacted and humiliated Beryl.  Beryl would attack Coltan if he saw him again.

Coltan Bluetemper

Name: Coltan Bluetemper

Character Concept: Raised by parents who traveled throughout Ansalom working as itinerant smiths.

Race, Background, Subclass: Hill Dwarf, Folk Hero, Forge Cleric

Description: This broad-shouldered dwarf of average height wears a holy amulet of Reorx.  His shoulder length dirty blonde hair and full beard are relatively unkempt compared to most dwarves you might meet. He has a nasty scar down the right side of his face and eyes that sparkle gold.  Chain mail peeks out from the layers of his well-mended but stained leather and wool traveling gear. His weapons' belt hangs a warhammer, handaxe, and dagger. He shoulders a backpack and shield.

Coltan's facial expressions are intense.  His resting face looks serious, angry if you don't know him well.  However, he is quick to laugh and smile, especially after a few beer.

Your Character's Plothook: 2. Coltan and Ispin defended a community from a notorious band of goblin raiders.

Past is Prologue: Coltan was born in 300 AC at the home of his maternal grandparents in Hillhome, a Neidar village located west of Thorbardin on the Passroad.  After a year, Scoria née Firforge rejoined her husband Norite Bluetemper on the road with their new son.  Norite and Scoria traveled Ansalom as itinerant blacksmiths visiting villages which do not have resident smiths.  For almost 50 years, Coltan has traveled the continent with his parents who seem to be friends with everyone.  Actually, not everyone likes them, but they have more friends and acquaintances than rivals.  Now, Coltan is as famous as his parents among the small villages and manors who don't have a resident blacksmith and the trails connecting them.

Sixteen years ago, he met Ispin when they defended a village from a notorious band of goblin raiders.  They traveled together for months and have kept in touch over the years.

Last year, Coltan celebrated his Fullbeard Day in Hillhome with his parents and mother's family.  His parents gifted him a set of chain mail and warhammer of their own make and his own set of traveling smiths' tools.  However, inspired by his cousin Flint, Coltan decided to start traveling on his own. While his father was disappointed to separate from his only son, he grudgingly accepted it and gifted his personal holy symbol of Reorx to guide his son.

Truths, Rumors, and Lies:

1. [Truth] Coltan is a capable smith
2. [Lie] Coltan has a girl in every village
3. [Truth] He received the scar on his face from battling a goblin

Include at least two of the following:

• Is Might Right?  Coltan has seen the best of people governed within small communities and villages.  He would be skeptical of the corruption of larger governments which maintain armies.
• Diety.  Coltan inherited his divine beliefs from his parents that Reorx created the world, dwarves, and the ability of crafting.  While Reorx doesn't answer his prayers, his faith is no less strong.
• Music. He grew up next to a forge, so the sounds of striking hammers, breathing bellows, and hissing quenches comfort him, so the modern songs of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin would resonate with him.  In addition, he's a dwarf who likes to drink and party, so Irish drinking songs would be how he parties.
