Brythe

Extra Information

• The cloaked man obviously travels, given his well-worn clothing of blacks, browns and greens. Strategically placed leather armour and weaponry suggest a familiarity with combat as well. His shaggy brown hair boasted a natural winging effect, always making it appear recently styled. At direct odds with the rest of his appearance, his face shined. His exotic features- sharp, kohl-lined yellow eyes being the most outstanding- and toffee-hued skin give him a vibrant visage. Well, ignoring the scruff of a beard always threatening to grow in.
  
  A more careful examination would reveal the details that others might miss- bags under his eyes and the haunted way he's constantly observing his surroundings. A plethora of daggers are neatly concealed or otherwise safely nestled on his person, and a large bow sits on his back.

• A Reminder:

  ICly, nobody should know these things without having discovered them first.
  The exception being characters who were in old Blackreach, as they would have known Brythe previously.
  
  Please and thank you.

• Personality

  Brythe is a very, very self-motivated man. He cannot consider anything without first figuring out how it would affect him. Due to a past of associating with backstabbers, this generally means spending an inordinate amount of time deciding who is or isn't a threat to his well-being.
  
  He's very opportunistic and relatively quick to jump on anything that will benefit him in the long run, even if it will cause harm to others. However, he tries to avoid situations where his involvement would be known. He dislikes burning bridges if he can help it, because anyone can be an ally when circumstances are right. Despite enjoying alliances, there's nobody he fully trusts, not even to the point he would accept food from them. If he doesn't make something himself, he's not eating it. His paranoia colors everything he does.
  
  When he finally does warm up to someone enough to trust them, he'll feel free to taunt and tease- he avoids the hell out of that behavior otherwise for fear that the other person will react badly. He prefers for as many people to have a positive opinion of him as humanly possible.
  
  In a perfect world, he would be happy to settle down somewhere and live comfortably with enough money to support himself and afford nice things, but as it stands, he's still stuck in crime. That and he's prone to involving himself with criminals and criminal activities simply because it's all he's ever known.

• Skills

  Brythe was raised as a bandit, and has learned most of the tools of the trade.
  
  

  Interaction

  Brythe has, throughout his life, been an actor. Because of this, he's highly skilled at being exactly who he needs to be and when. This extends to lying.
  (Ooc note: My memory can be particularly shitty when recalling everything lies. Please don't penalize my character for my own faults.)

  
  

  Stealth

  While not as great as his lying is, he can move about as quietly as humanly possible when required.

  
  

  Stealing

  He can pickpocket and sleight-of-hand with the best of them, but he rarely has the coordination for any major heists.

  
  

  Assassination and Trapping

  Not his forte, but he has enough experience with both to pull them off, especially against someone who isn't prepared.

  
  

  Poisons

  He can't mix his own, but he knows the scents and tastes of the common types. This generally stops being useful in areas without plants he knows.

  Paranoia

  Having been around people who are moderately untrustworthy at the best of times and bloodthirsty backstabbers at the worst, Brythe is oversensitive to the threat potential of anyone he interacts with. He's likely to see little things as hostile and will go out of his way to be prepared for possible attacks.
  
  This means he won't accept prepared food from anyone, and very rarely raw ingredients from people low on his threat list. It's gotten him close to starvation more than once.
  
  His paranoia is also very easy to play against if anyone realises how bad it is. He'll worry endlessly about false warnings, simply because he feels at least one of them has to be real.

  
  

  Combat

  He can hold a dagger and stab someone with it, but he's not nearly trained enough to stand up against someone who knows what they're doing.
