I'm posting up another character so that I might drop a few into different areas and make sure that everyone has someone that they can play with!
*Name: Gavin Dunleavy
Nickname:
*Gender: Male
*Age: 32
*General Physical Description: Gavin is tall (6’2”) and lithe, but fairly muscular as well. His skin is dark, black even and his eyes are a dark brown, almost black as well. He has black hair which he keeps cut short.
Scars:
Normal Clothing: Usually bright blues and whites. Also, he always wears a large floppy black hat that he often has to push out of his face.
*Abilities: A learned reader of the stars, he also knows how to use a telescope (which he once purchased in Tisret) and is a leader in the field of science focusing on the exact nature of the stars rather than what they say of the future. Also, he has a good aim with a bow.
*Occupation: Star-reader and astronomer.
*General Personality Description: Gavin is eccentric. His floppy hat is the best indicator of his personality – he is a little bit bumbling. He is very intelligent, but also awkward, especially in group scenarios. He doesn’t do small talk well, but if he becomes interested in a topic, he will listen raptly or talk continuously.
Likes: Scientific equipment, stars
Dislikes:
Quirks: Often pushes his hat out of the way. Taps his chin when in thought.
*Family: His mother and father both passed away a few years previously and he has never married. He prefers to spend his time with the stars.
*Brief History:
Gavin was born and raised in Nelthet. As a result, he has always had a fascination for the stars and has been able to fulfill his every desire to learn about them. He attached himself to every star-reader that he found, learning new things from each. Everyone adored him, precocious lad that he was.
When he was sixteen, he traveled to Centis in order to study other branches of science, but never liked any other science as much as he did the stars. On his way back to Nelthet (at the age of 20), he stopped in Tisret and discovered and instrument they had just invented – the telescope. He immediately fell in love with the instrument and purchased it on the spot, depleting most of his savings. He has carried it with him everywhere ever since.
He finished up his learning in Nelthet, content to stay in his homeland from that point on. At 27 years of age, he was offered a position as one of the senior star-readers, where he could teach any pupil he decided to take on. He gratefully accepted the role and also used it as an opportunity to teach others of his personal discoveries about the stars.
At 30, his father died of a heart attack, which devastated his mother so much that she soon followed him. Gavin has yet to get over the shock of losing both parents in such rapid succession, but he rarely shows that he was affected at all. Nowadays, he still resides in Nelthet, traveling from city to city, spreading his message of the stars.
