Name: Kalien "Farwander"
Race: Ordonian
Age: 25
Height:5'8"
Weight: 170lbs.
Eye color, Type: Dark blue, almost violet.
Hair color, Style: Dark brown with sun-bleached streaks of blonde in it. Worn in a shaggy mop atop his head.
Nationality: Tetra Isles
Description: Kalien is a scruffy sort, from head to toe. He tends to wear a headband to keep his unruly hair out of his lean, almost-gaunt face, but otherwise makes few concessions to order. He dresses in Hylian garb of late, favoring loose trousers tucked into boots, a white shirt with a vest over it, containing numerous pockets. His skin bears the permanent tan of his homeland, which almost covers his five o'clock shadow. Almost. The left shoulder of his vest is even more scuffed than the rest, because his pet bat like to ride there much of the time.
Personality: Kalien absolutely does NOT give a damn, and he'll be the first to tell you so. His only concerns are getting enough food to survive and having a place to sleep. He has little tolerance for bullies or self-important types, however, and does what he can to humble them. If cornered, he fights as hard as the rat he's sometimes compared to.
Weapon: Most of the time, his fights with a pair of long knives (just shy of being shortswords), short on reach but incredibly swift. He can parry melee attacks with ease, but against heavier weapons, this technique is pretty much useless.
Subweapon: A springloaded blade in the toe of his left boot. Serves as a holdout weapon for those nasty "unarmed" situations.
Inventory:
Hookshot (stolen)
Tool- Lockpick set (used for stealing)
bottle (stolen as an afterthought)
Skills: A talented swimmer, he is also in excellent general condition. He is incredibly stealthy, and a deft hand with mechanical devices... such as locks. If there's a way to make a dishonest bit of cash with a skill, he has at least a passing familiarity with it. In addition, he's a skilled fisherman from his youth on the Tetra Isles. He's a persuasive liar, a good singer, and a capable combatant. He also has a gentle touch with his pet fruit bat, and animals generally seem to like him.
History: Kalien was born on the Tetra Isles, and quickly found the idyllic life of fishing and staying at home impossibly boring, and he left as soon as he could, taking up with several; disreputable characters and learning his trade in the "civilized" world- thievery. He hasn;t been back except for two occasions- once when the boat he was on ran aground and he called in a few owed favors from the locals, and once when his mother died. It was on that trip that he acquired his fruit bat Polly, who has been his constant companion ever since. He has taken to life in Hylia fairly well, because the civilization there has so much to offer a young man with a light touch and some sneaky tendencies.
