Harolde, pious pilgrim

[Rudolf]

Name: Harolde
Archetype: Cleric of Messengers/Rogues

Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Height: 6’ 1”
Weight: 190lbs

Harolde is a young cleric of Fharlanghn, god of roads, who is on his first pilgrimage after being ordained. He has been tasked with traveling the world and visiting ten different shrines of the Traveller before he is given the title of Walker. 

Harolde joined the priesthood when he ran away from home, unwilling to spend his life as a village cobbler. While he does have siblings that he cares about, his father is unkind and treats the children of his first wife rather poorly. Having run away, Harolde came across a small roadside shrine and has set himself to learn more about the faith. 

While trained with a variety of weapons, he favors the crossbow as his favorite. Should enemies close in, he is armed with the traditional quarterstaff, but is honestly more useful tending to the wounded after the battle.

Personality: Calm and thoughtful, interested in other people. 
Not easily deterred once set upon a course of action.

Description: With long messy dark hair and a dusty green cloak, Harolde appears to be a veteran traveler. He carries a ornately carved staff in one hand and his amber eyes look carefully around before he speaks, and often prefers to scribble in the leather-bound journal he carries with him.

A close look reveals a large copper amulet around his neck held in place by a leather cord. The symbol is that of a circle bisected by a horizontal line.

Notes

-Take a look at Kromm’s notes for character building. 
-Already, it seems I could invest a bit more in Hiking and First Aid. 1 point in a skill seems worthwhile in most cases.
-Should orc-fighting prove profitable, purchase #1 should be a crossbow. Purchase #2 should probably be a big fancy ring to use as my power focus, because you can break a weapon easily enough ; (

-Use CP to increase lifting STR!

-Looks like 1cp in climbing would be wise…

Aside from orcs, the casual searching through of bags seems unfriendly. Was it the guards? Some random creature like an imp or mite? I’d hope not one of my fellow travelers…

I know, it’s not perfect yet. I’ll do the editing in bits here and there.
