Fairly short (Even for a Gnome), he walks with a stoop and hobbles around on a cane. He is bald, wears a bandanna and has 2 teeth.

However in his normal form, he looks like a fairly well off gnome on a cart with a donkey. He has short spiky red hair and a well-groomed goatee. No matter the environment, he and his clothing are spotless. He smiles all the time and a joke is always on his lips. He particularly likes bad jokes, the worse the better. After all, they are one of the reasons he is wandering the world. </p><p></p><p><strong>Background:</strong> Well, I guess we should begin at the beginning, since that's where is all started. Well, I was born in a village, tiny little thing that it was. According to my mother, I had far too much trouble in me growing up, Galumphing around the town, taking things that weren't <em>technically</em> mine, and getting into places I shouldn't really be in. I was apprenticed to the local Temple of Garl Glittergold in an attempt to channel my natural talents into something, <em>productive</em> (I hate that word, <em>productive</em> sounds so dull, blegh). They failed miserably, and I learned some magic to assist in my endeavors. I had the best childhood ever, I think.</p><p><em>Anyway</em>, about when I was 30 or so, I fell victim to a <strong>BIG</strong> prank. Apparently, Garl came to the the priest in a "Vision" (Vision, my rear end, they wanted to tie me down) that said I should be wed. Now, despite what my parent's, the priest, and the rest of the town thought; I did use my ears and listen, especially when the local topic of gossip was of my upcoming wedding. When I confronted Mother (Now, note that this is where I made the biggest mistake in this whole situation here. If you suddenly find yourself betrothed to some one, the first and <u>only</u> thing you do is run away. Under no circumstances do you confront your mother about it) she had the cousins lock me in my room until the wedding was to take place.</p><p>Now here's where the prank comes in, listen carefully.</p><p>I prayed. I prayed like I had never prayed before. I was a veritable prayer machine. I prayed so hard, that I think I passed out. While I was in an unconscious stupor, I had a long talk with Garl Glittergold himself. He told me that he could engineer an escape if I would do him a favor, I had to go to a village a few days away and pick up a letter (Simple, huh? <em>Riiight</em>.). I agreed, anything to get out of this wedding (and of course, the fact that I thought I was hallucinating from fear made me feel fairly safe in my divine dealings).</p><p>When I woke up, it was the middle of the night and all was quiet. I took a peek out my door and found one of the cousins guarding my room, asleep. I packed a few things (quietly) and snuck out of the house (oh so quietly). Well on my way to the town by the time morning rolled around, I found the road empty and quiet. When the day rolled on, I found it pleasant and breezy. This trip seemed practically <em>Blessed</em> (you stupid, <em>stupid</em>, gnome). Anyway, when I got to the town and inquired about mail, there was several somthings waiting for me at the inn. </p><p>I remember this is where I realized that I might not have been hallucinating that night. </p><p>The Inn (The Happy Gnome, strange how some things stick in your head) had 3 letters and a package for me. The first letter was from my mother. Pink paper, purple Ink, 8 pages long and covered in tear smudges, it went on at length about how she would miss me and how I should have packed warmer clothes, ect... All the things mothers say when you go on an extended trip somewhere. The Third was in the priest's neat handwriting and was basically saying that "The jokes on you idiot! HA, HA, HA!". Apparently, there was no wedding, and there never was. The whole town was in on the prank. The third letter was, to tell the truth, odd. Some of the finest paper I had ever seen, and silvery handwriting laid out the tenants of the Glittergold Faith and was welcoming me into the faith as a brother and that there was a room already rented for me in the Inn, and I should really go up there before I explode.</p><p>That <em>Bastard</em>! He <em>tricked</em> me! That weasely, big-nosed, gold-fingered trickster <em>swindled me into being his priest</em>! Damn It!</p><p>Anyway, I've been traveling sense then. All over the world. Maybe I'll visit you next.</p></blockquote><p></p>

The Inn (The Happy Gnome, strange how some things stick in your head) had 3 letters and a package for me. The first letter was from my mother. Pink paper, purple Ink, 8 pages long and covered in tear smudges, it went on at length about how she would miss me and how I should have packed warmer clothes, ect... All the things mothers say when you go on an extended trip somewhere. The Third was in the priest's neat handwriting and was basically saying that "The jokes on you idiot! HA, HA, HA!". Apparently, there was no wedding, and there never was. The whole town was in on the prank. The third letter was, to tell the truth, odd. Some of the finest paper I had ever seen, and silvery handwriting laid out the tenants of the Glittergold Faith and was welcoming me into the faith as a brother and that there was a room already rented for me in the Inn, and I should really go up there before I explode. That [i]Bastard[/i]! He [i]tricked[/i] me! That weasely, big-nosed, gold-fingered trickster [i]swindled me into being his priest[/i]! Damn It! Anyway, I've been traveling sense then. All over the world. Maybe I'll visit you next. [/QUOTE]
