Shariv the Skewer's page

Basic outline for Shariv:

Shariv was born in Kaer Maga, and learned the trade of adventurer-for-hire through trial and error, competing with other would-be tomb robbers and merceneries. After many years of mediocrity in Kaer Maga, he traveled west to Mangimar, where, with the assistance of local ne'er-do-well and hit man Rauno, he has started a successful recovery and disposal business.

Shariv 'The Skewer' Kellan is an amoral and arrogant man, living life by one simple tenet: money is prestige, and prestige is power. However, while he could be considered morally deficient, he is not evil, but merely self-centered. A cocky jerk, if you will. (Sort of like Downer Tarantula from his eponymous comic)

Shariv is of an average build, and is rather unremarkable-looking. In fact, he would be rather hard to notice, if it were not for his winning smile and biting wit. He has straight black hair pulled back into a short 'tail,' and has the characteristic Varisian olive skin and hazel eyes.

"Kaer Maga? Kaer Maga was the place of my birth, and a right hive of scum and villainy. A city of cutthroats, murderers, and worse. What better job than to track down an evil artifact in such a place as that? I'm in."

Shariv appears confident, even cocky. A rather nondescript-looking man of Varisian descent, his dark eyes remain fixed on the speaker. His gloved hands rest on the shafts of his rather unique weapons, a pair of foot-long, double-ended iron spikes strapped into holsters on his thighs. Shariv throws a quick glance at Rauno, his partner in crime since his arrival in Mangimar nearly a year ago.

"Sounds like a right nasty job, eh?"

Rauno is more mercenary than hero, but he's not evil/mean. He sees himself as a professional, paid to do dangerous jobs others aren't brave/capable enough to handle. If he's paid to work with a group, he'll work with the group. If the group (or individuals therein) endanger the mission in such a way as to jeopardize Rauno's pay, though, he'll be more likely to forget that he has Precise Shot...

Oh, and I don't think I've seen it posted so wanted to ask...how are we doing hp? Right now I've just got Rauno at max for 1st level, then 1/2 HD + 1 plus Con minus Quick for each level thereafter. Barring any changes to his hp based on this question, he's done.

Hey, you must have read my mind. I had a similar concept in mind for Shariv.
