Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celtavian" data-source="post: 1220425" data-attributes="member: 5834">Thom Joffson...Thom Joffson rubs his eyes clear of tears as he comes striding up. He is carrying an old leather pack, a long fishing spear, and a dagger in a short leather sheathe. His gangly frame can barely support the weight of the meager equipment. His dirty dark brown hair is unkempt and his clothes (brown breeches, a wool shirt, and water stained high leather boots) are about as clean as can be expected.Everyone knows Thom is the son of Joff Joffson, a common fisherman. He comes from a large family with two older brothers, Joff and Matt, two older sisters, Niri and Kris, and one baby sister, Sama. The Joffson's are fairly well-known in Argos as they have lived there their entire life and have kin elsewhere in the village.You all know Thom as a strange reclusive young man with a friendly nature whose tough as nails. He's been picked on by many of the village boys because he's weak, too weak to be an able fisherman which means he often ends up doing women's work. Men in this village don't take kindly to a boy who can't do a man's job, so he's had to stand up for himself more than a few times to prove that he "ain't no woman"."Just said bye to my mom and sisters. There making for the Fletchway with my other female kin", Thom says hoping you'll excuse his tears, "Well, I guess we're off to war. A bunch of fisherman's sons and poor village folk doing our duty. I know they don't expect much of us, but we're going to show them that the folk of Argos have more mettle in us than they expected. Aren't we?"Thom smiles at Jakobi, "I'm Thom. I've seen you around town, though I don't think we've ever talked."[OOC]I've posted my description and what another person in the village might know of Thom's family and history considering we all seem to come from Argos. Let me know if I've posted too much Destan. And we're off, this should be fun.[/OOC]</blockquote>
