~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Appearance:
Verrick is man of average build and looks. He is of Flan and Oerdian decent. He has a weather-beaten face and tanned skin from many years of traveling. He is clean-shaven and wears his hair short. He is generally unremarkable in a crowd. He normally wears stout boots and a large brimmed hat. He favors comfortable, but durable clothes in neutral tones. He typically wears a leather vest with many pockets for spell components and other odds and ends over a long sleeved shirt and slightly baggy pants. When he is expecting trouble he wears a suit of strange studded leather in fall colors.
Personality:
Verrick is a friendly soft-spoken man. While not a Cleric he is a religious man and devoted follower of Fharlanghn. He is slow to anger, but once his ire is roused his rage is fierce. He enjoys meeting new people and seeing new places. He likes to try exotic food and drink when he travels. He tends to be a peacemaker among his friends and tries to get along with everyone. If he does find someone he can’t be a friend with he generally moves on to somewhere new. He has acquaintances all over the flanaess, but he rarely stays in one place long enough to make really close friends.
Background:
Verrick grew up on the roads. His parents were in the business of hauling goods. He spent much of his early life riding in the back of a wagon reading books. His parents were only modestly successful and never provided much of a home for young Verrick. He was fascinated by the cities they passed through, but never stayed at. At 13 he left his parents for the bright lights of Leukish. He soon found that cities weren’t the magical places he had imagined. He found life was hard on the streets and nothing like the tales he had been reading. He struggled to survive and had to resort to the life of a Rogue to survive. He eventually went to sea on the Nyr Dyv as a deck hand again in hopes of finding the romance and excitement of the stories he read as a child. He soon became disenchanted and headed north toward the shield lands to join the army and fight Iuz at 16. Fortunately, he met a young wizard who was going the other way and recognized in Verrick the potential of magic. He took young Verrick into apprenticeship and began to teach him the arts of magic. Verrick was an apt pupil and soon mastered the basics of Wizardry. After the initial excitement wore off he discovered that magic was mostly about studying old dusty books and practice. After a couple of years of study with the Wizard in Keoland he decided it was time to move on again. He traveled making a living selling spells and looking for the home he never had. While he had some “adventures”, he never seemed to find a home or the excitement he craved. He spent nearly a year working for a Wizard in exchange for the magical Rapier he carries in hopes that such a flashy blade would lead him to adventure. He spent time among the Elves of Celene and the Dwarves of the mountains, but he never found a home. One day when Verrick was in his mid-twenties he met an old man on the road. They were traveling the same way and began to talk. Verrick found himself talking of his life and his disappointments. The old man who was a priest of Fharlanghn told him that he had a home all along. That the road and all the vast places of the flanaess were his home. As they talked Verrick realized that he had been so worried about the destination he had never enjoyed the journey. He spent some time in the company of the old priest and re-evaluated his life. Now Verrick still wanders the roads of land, but he does it with new eyes. Every day is an adventure and he wanders the roads partaking of all that the world has to offer.
In recent years Verrick has been spending his time close to Greyhawk. During the wars he saw some fighting, but rarely stayed with any one unit or group. His magical skills grew and the old skills he learned on the street were enhanced. He often gave his protection to groups of refugees he encounter on the road. Frequently he aided them in their journey to safety and defended them from harm. Since the end of the war those bandits who pray upon travelers and refugees have most often the focus of Verrick’s ire. Verrick has gained some small notoriety on the roads around Greyhawk he is always a welcome site to local traders and travelers. They know his family was in trade and they see him as one of their own.
