Ryzern's page

Personality and Background.
Born to the flotsam and detritus of the port Ryzern seemed destined for a life at sea. Apprenticed to a respected riddleport trained mage his path was smooth and easy.
Except for his luck.
Soon after being apprenticed the great man found a better connected prospect and dumped his "half-trained mistake". Since then Ryzern has made something like a living serving as a ships mage and supercargo. He might have even made a life of this.
Except for his luck.
In his short career Ryzern has had one ship sink under him, one burn down in port, lost half his right leg to a tigershark, spent some time imprisoned as a smuggler and, just now, had his captain and shipmates abandon him.

You can see where he gets his nickname.

All this had made his bitter. He owes the world nothing, and that is what he is going to give it. He can be petty and cruel when he feels safe. But then he is paranoid enough to only rarely feel safe. A barracks-room lawyer of the worst kind. A malingerer and goldbrick who only exercises his mind to show his superiority. All in all a lost cause.
Except for his luck.

Thrown into a strange place and forced to act this rat might just grow into a hero, or at least something that could be mistaken for on in bad light.

Appearance.
Ryzern always appears unkempt. From the odd set of his shoulders to the strange scar on his jaw there is something off about the man. Currently he wears a simple leg made of blond ash.
