description:
The gnome staring up at you is less than 3 feet high, and his mis-match eyes (one blue one green) give you a feeling of uncomfort...yet his outstretched hand and cheerful smile set you at ease.
I am Medvedarin, native or Irrisen, and glad to meet you...He says is Skald, the common of his province. He wears a black robe of Tian Xia design, but one that was clearly designed for a larger person, and the sleeves and trailing gown make him look even less threatening, covering his hands and shoes like a child playing dress up. Add in the neatly trimmed blue-white imperial, and glasses and he looks more like a child's plaything than a sorcerer, let alone an enchanter...
history:
A native of the fey-ridden province of the far north, the rule of the Jadwigas, and the evil fey gave Med pause...as a youth he fled south, into warmer lands, where he quickly found his gnomish knack for alchemy appreciated. He studied this craft before turning his fey heritage to an even more deadly one, sorcery. He has traveled around a bit, and given lectures at a few universities on herbalism and alchemy, as well as always being on the look out for rare books on botany.
-He signed onto the expedition as a "explorer, botanist, and fey-ocultist. "As a gnome, he constantly sets his sights on new things to avoid the deadly effects of the bleaching...
personality:
As a gnome, and a fey one at that, Med is given to humor and excess that defines his kind. However, he is far more at ease with word play, puns, and visual humor, and dislikes those who would prank or maliciously torture others for their own pleasure. He dislike the crude elves and the rude orcs, but otherwise gets along well with anybody, but he is far too cultured to be racist in general, and always willing to give anybody the benefit of the doubt.
-He lacks religious sense, being more considered with nature as a whole, and is more akin to druids in this sense. He has a keen sense of good, and dislikes evil, but feels that Paladins and Clerics are often hampered by their codes and dogmas. This being said, he finds evil revolting, and in particular dislikes those who would torture animals, or despoil nature
-He considers himself a scholar, but in reality he lacks the discipline to do any serious work, but he thinks this expedition will give him the opportunity to catalog new species of plants and mushroom.
goals:
Besides the already mentioned goals, Medvedarian has a secret goal, to encounter a proto-gnome, or whatever was before gnomes or became gnomes. He has a belief that a proto-gnome missing link exists in this new land. This is a rather out-there theory...but he thinks it will bring him fame...glory...and gnomish women...
connections:
On the journey Medvedarian has befriend a half-orc commoner called Gunther, who also hails from Irrisen. Gunther is moving to the new world to work as a simple farm hand, but has a love of nature that brought the two together. Gunther is also skilled at cooking fish, and the two spent much time fishing silently from the poop deck. Gunther is ulgy and taciturn even bu half orc standards, and so their friendship seems bizarre. But to Medvedarian this lack of words is to be expected from the 'big dumb good guy'.
