Tarric, son of Lorric

[BlueTrillium]

Original MW character page here.

General Overview:

Tarric is a Beorning, and a native and long-time-resident of Rhosgobel, a Woodmen town in the fringes of the Mirkwood that built itself up around the residence of Radaghast the Brown. He and his wife Olwinne (a Woodman) are loving but childless, in a home built for a larger family. (They therefore have room for guests!)

Tarric often serves Radaghast on various errands, delivering messages and performing scouting duties. He is frequently roaming outside of town on patrols, in both bear and human form (in human form he carries a spear if necessary). He is known for making small talismans from twigs and colored string and offering them to people in need of protection. Sometimes they even work.

Olwinne is fierce and independent, and no slouch with an axe herself. She keeps closer to town, but can easily be found by following the beacon of her long blonde braid and confident demeanor. While by no means an official leader of Rhosgobel, she is someone people can lean on for instruction or assistance if those leaders are not available.

Personality-wise, Tarric is generally very laid-back and easygoing. He's dead-difficult to wake up early in the morning (at least in safe/peaceful circumstances, e.g. at home) and loves sleeping in. He's a bit of a trickster and enjoys sneaking up and startling people when opportunity arises - especially those who aren't familiar with his ability to transform. He loves children/littles, and during leisure time can be found toting them around on his back in bear form. When it comes to protecting others, though - especially littles, or those he is otherwise responsible for - he is a true papa bear. He'll barrel straight into the fight with roaring fury, keeping himself between the threat and those he is protecting. Long-view strategy and personal safety are very distant thoughts, if considered at all.

Known Family/Relations: (many of them Bonds)

Olwinne - his wife
Rathdan - Olwinne's older brother, Tarric's friend
Radaghast and Rhosgobel villagers - Tarric is good acquaintances and friends with just about everyone in his hometown
Woodmen-town villagers - after helping rid them of the plague of giant spiders, they are considered friends
Leesha - brief travel companion, last seen staying behind to help wounded in Woodmen-town
Idunn - recent travel and battle companion and friend
Bróin (and his intelligent bird, Vara) - recent travel and battle companion and friends

• Added a Bond to Bróin (and Vara) -- did not roll for it or anything, let me know if you'd like me to.

Then, choose one: ------ Push yourself: Endure Harm (1 harm) ------ Lose yourself: Endure Stress (1 stress) ⚫ When you Endure Harm in a fight, and your Health is above zero, you may let the pain inflame your wildness (decide before rolling). If you then score a strong hit and choose to embrace the pain, take +momentum equal to your remaining Health. A weak hit counts as a miss.

When you Fulfill Your Vow and mark experience, take +1 experience. Talisman - (Ritual) ⚫ When you fashion a charm, envision it and name the specific person or creature it protects against. Then roll +wits. ------ On a strong it, when the wearer opposes the target through a move, add +2. If a one is rolled on the action die while making a move using the charm, the magic is spent. ------ On a weak hit, as above, but the wearer adds +1 when making a move (instead of +2). ⚪ As above, and you may instead fashion a charm which aids the wearer against all supernatural threats, such as mystic rituals or horrors. ⚪ When you perform this ritual, add +1 and take +1 momentum on a hit.

Then, reroll any dice (one time only) when you make a move by ambushing, hiding, or sneaking. On a weak hit, as above, but the shadows try to lead you astray. You must first Face Danger to find your way. ⚫ As above, and you may also travel along the hidden paths of the shadow realms to Undertake a Journey using +shadow (instead of +wits). If you do, Endure Stress (1 stress) and mark progress twice on a strong hit. ⚪ When you perform this ritual, add +1 and take +1 momentum on a hit.

Possible images for Olwinne? They both look kinda too young but maybe she's just one of those ageless ladies idk (and if Olwinne and Tarric had a daughter I'd definitely use the first one for her but since they don't... not sure. xD)
