1. What does your character look like? Please describe their clothes, and if they openly display any recognizable symbols (such as the emblem of a nation or the holy symbol of a god)
Small Tarl is a wild-eyed halfling with unusually long arms & legs, covered with black fur. He’s quite muscled for a halfling. He wears furs with many small totems stitched into the seams or dangling from leather straps: teeth of great saurians, a disk cut from a mammoth tusk...and a miniature “robot” made from twisted twine (that he crafted from the images in his nightmares).
Standing just behind him is Raksasa: an obviously predatory bipedal dinosaur, her hide a mottled mix of red and brown with a spray of crimson under her chin and on the spines that ridge her back. She stands 5’ at the shoulder and almost as wide, with three massive claws on each forearm, and jagged teeth visible between her gums.
Small Tarl often keeps one hand on it’s long thick neck when around people, in order to signal as best he’s able that the spinosaurus doesn’t need to be feared.
He is very clearly out of place in Numeria, and often looks as panicked by this strange new land as the locals do by the massive predatory dinosaur that accompanies him.
2. How long has your character been in Numeria?
Just arrived, wide eyed.
3. What drives your character to adventure in Numeria? What will keep your character invested in this motley group?
Small Tarl sometimes wakes screaming with nightmares about something he's never seen--metal monsters. His dreams have led him to make the dangerous journey to Torch from the tropical valley surrounding Tolguth in the Realm of the Mammoth Lords where the Khoeli tribe have lived for thousands of years.
His motivations are a mixture of terrified-yet-resolute desire to Do What Needs To Be Done (not that he knows what that is yet, apart from his nightmare visions which you’re welcome to supply from time to time, as it suits you...otherwise I’ll fill them in myself periodically.). He’s also quite loyal and after building a bond with other adventurers will be invested in keeping them safe.
4. How does your character feel about new technology?
Awestruck, suspicious and drawn in, all at the same time. His anger and fear will flare particularly around robots but other tech is more of a blend of frightening and fascinating.
5. How does your character feel about the Technic League?
It’s a weird foreign thing in this weird foreign land...but his understanding of what it is will start out as next-to-zero.
6. Where is your character from?
He’s a member of the Khoeli tribe, a small compound-tribe of Kellid humans and halflings that dwells with the great saurians, in the tropical jungles around Tolguth in the Realm of the Mammoth Lords. Within the Khoeli there is a subset of unusually hairy halflings (Agathion-blooded aasimar) like Small Tarl who have a special gift of connecting with the great saurians.
7. What is their personality like?
Anxious-to-terrified but determined (bordering on resigned/fatalistic). Loyal. Has difficulty speaking in a voice above a whisper. Quick to charge into battle but not always clear if that's his fearsome battle cry or if he's just screaming in terror.
8. What training did they undergo, if any, to become their class?
Shamanic training from a young age, since his gift was known.
9. Why does your character wield the weapon(s) they use?
He made his and Raksasa’s armor from the hide of a mammoth they felled together (mechanically, leather lamellar). He uses a (small) greatsword--the principal weapon of both the small and large folk in the Khoeli tribe.
10. If your character is religious, describe what lead them to their deity.
Small Tarl listens to the spirits that guide the Khoeli tribe (whether he wants to or not)...and when he doesn’t the nightmares increase.
11. Explain what your character's alignment means for them.
What does NG mean for Small Tarl? He cares about the lives of others and feels a spiritual duty to preserve life in general (animals, as well as humanoids). He would feel very happy to return to the tropical jungles he was born in--and away from frightening people and robots--but his sense of duty (as well as his nightmares, which he knows are sent by the spirits) keep him from doing so.
