Message: <blockquote data-quote="CleverName" data-source="post: 513725" data-attributes="member: 2591">Gann MacManusHere's the background info on Keith's new  PC,Gann MacManus, a hobgoblin fighter. Gann MacManus was born and grew up in Howth on Tir Nan Og, the son of simple fisherfolk. Even as a lad, he was remarkable both for his imposing figure as well as his inquisitive nature. More than once, his curiosity outstripped his judgment, and Gann spent much of his youth in trouble of one sort or another. His plainspoken manner (some would say tactlessness) did little to endear him to those he found himself in trouble with, and Gann eventually found himself in need of a hasty departure from the island and culture of his folk.He managed to secure a working passage on the far-flung Rolgulkan tradeship "Lost Daughter" and made his way, port by port, to Jormunsteinn in the Skia Thalassa. Though he was by this time an able sailor, he worked for a while as a bouncer, then an enforcer for a local criminal concern, before going to sea again. He has visited every port on the Skia Thalassa, many more than once. Before his current but unsteady employment in Jormunsteinn, a Rolgulkan named Arnuz hired him as a bouncer in her brothel in Kostelna. About three years ago a human woman opened up Porphyry House, a fancy brothel in the city, with beautiful and exceedingly depraved employees. Within a year Arnuz had to close up shop – and Gann was out on his warty, but well-muscled ass. Lately he has been supplementing his meager income by working as a bodyguard and heavy for a reputable Dwarven merchant, Oiin, who makes frequent trips to Kostelna on the edge of Rolgulka. In that rough burg, one can never overestimate the usefulness of a 6 foot, 5 inch ass-ugly hobgoblin tough.Gann is not a deft conversationalist or charmer, but his is freakishly strong and huge, even for a hobgoblin. Despite this, he is a canny fighter, as liable to outmaneuver or outwit an opponent, as he is to merely demolish them with sword and knife. When he was still a babe in arms, his father predicted that the giant babe would one day be a mighty warrior as of old, and that with the spear-feat and the feat of the shield rim he would inspire many warriors to his cause. A druid that overheard this said instead that Gann would never wear a shield or own a horse, and to this day he has managed to keep these bans.</blockquote>
