Here's a first draft. Languages and spells are probably the most tentative, depending on what other folks decide to focus on and such.
Will likely pick up a scroll or two, as well. But at least at a spot where he can get a once-over.

[sblock=Appearance]Kog's sometimes-obsessive bent is expressed in his own careful grooming: close-trimmed beard and hair, clothing pressed (or magicked to look so). His blue eyes can sometimes make for a rather penetrating stare, but his smile has so far done well by him to diffuse folks subject to it.[/sblock]
[sblock=Background]Kog was born into a traveling acting troupe, and though he had the natural charisma of all his relatives, he had little desire to take the stage. It wasn't stage fright, no. There was just something that seemed a tad ... hollow when he was in a show. So he helped to wrangle the animals when he was young, burying his nose in whatever text he could get his hands on during his off hours, looking for even he didn't know what. Eventually his penchant for reading (and continued insistance on staying off the stage) lead him to work as the troupe's dramaturge. But even then he felt unsatisfied. Eventually he realized why, despite a life filled with so much dazzle, he felt so very uninspired.
What Kog desired was not to recreate adventure, but to live it. With the blessing of his family--who had long felt chagrined they could not find a role that challenged their talented and bright child--Kog set out on the road to write his own adventure.
His family, wanting him safe, gave him several gifts. As talented performers, many of his kin had been gifted valuable objects by adoring noble fans. But, as they were none of them fighters, they rarely did more but look pretty in the family's collection of trophies. From his mother he received a rune-inscribed ring meant to provide protection to its wearer; from his fire-breather cousin, a necklace he swore toughened the skin. A chain shirt the troupe used in stage combat for its brilliance and light weight. His grandmother secretly gave him a wand, as well, which could heal those wounds she was sure he would come by when the other protections failed.[/sblock]
