You glance at the name list of fellow adventurers assigned for this mission and you notice the name: "Sir Longbeard." He is obviously strong dwarven warrior, maybe paladin even. You notice some one approaching the group. At first glance he appears to be very tall dwarf in heavy armor, as he gets closer you notice that he doesn't look very dwarvish, he doesn't even have a beard and he wears leather armor that seems to be painted in metal color. Besides that he seems to be barely able to carry the weight of this armor and gear.
Sir Longbeard: "Hi guys! I'm Sir Longbeard. I an alchemist.. oh and really badass dwarf too! Yeah!"
OOC: Sir Longbeard is a kitsune alchemist who stays in his human form, but he really believes he is a dwarf with a very longbeard. For some odd reason, he can't recall why, he has lost his ability to speak dwarven and somehow he gained ability to turn into a fox. Probably some weird alchemical experiment gone wrong.
