Character Name: Ulric Deorwinson & Tempest the wolf
Character & Description:
Ulric can be identified mainly by his shaggy, untamed head of rust-colored hair. He has a sharply angled face with a light beard growing in and emerald eyes. He wears a blue and green plaid cloak over his chainmail tunic, and prefers to wear richly colored but practical clothes under that.
His wolf, Tempest, earned her name from her grey patterned fur that resembles storm clouds. She is large, muscled, but has a solemn and intelligent look about her.
Background Information:
Ulric and his lifelong pet, Tempest, were ejected from their small village in the Kingdom of Oriar after Tempest "visiously attacked" a halfling child. The actual incident was not nearly as brutal as the village elders made it out to be, in reality the child only suffered a light, woundless bite to the hand after he had been taunting the great wolf, making her feel threatened. He screamed loud enough to cause a panic, though, and in the ensuing chaos, the elders found the perfect excuse to be rid of the annoying Ulric. He had always been a troublemaker, even when he was a boy.
Ulric left with mixed feelings. Defiance and anger at his fellow halflings for one, but also exhilaration. This was his chance to live like the heroes he'd heard of in stories.A few days after his exile, he encountered a group of adventurers, who trained and equipped him and told him to head to Rook if he wished to make his name known. Along his journey he took on some basic work as a sellsword, gaining some experience.
He's still a rabble-rouser as an adult. Unlike other halflings, Ulric cares more about being seen than going unseen, going out of his way to be loud, outspoken and a braggart. He takes care not to lie when he boasts, though, which doesn't make it any less obnoxious. He's fiercely protective of Tempest, his oldest friend. She protected him from bullies growing up, and now she protects him from monsters, and in return he treats her better than he treats most people. Tempest herself is a very well-mannered dog, for a wolf that is. She's been with Ulric since she was a puppy, and he's domesticated most of the wild out of her, though she's still plenty aggressive in a fight.
