[QUOTE="Loonook, post: 5816531, member: 1861"] [b]Darrin Bluemark, Dock Harrier and the Churchmice.[/b] Darrin Bluemark is the person the children of thieves are threatened with. From drug dens to fighting pits the name of Darrin Bluemark is spoken with fits of awe. At 43 his 6'5" frame is above most common men, and his scarred arms and face show him to be a tough customer even in the worst wine den. Though he has killed dozens of men and women in his pursuits he is also one of the guardians and founders of the Churchmice, a lay group who supports any faith's worship and helps to protect the waifs of the dockside community. Sold into slavery from afar Bluemark found himself amongst the holy warriors of the Kingdom as a bootblack and errand boy.While never able to rise in the ranks of the Hierarchy, Bluemark did become a skilled leader in the order's Lesser Watch. His freedom was awarded to him by the mark of the Hierarch Himself and he was set to watch over those freeborn men and women born to serve the Hierarch. He became renowned for his talents, but his temper drove a wedge between himself and his order. ((It is rumored that Bluemark left the order for many reasons. Some state that he lost his faith, while others that he was forced for seeing unholy acts performed by his clergy. Others claim that Bluemark's ousting was due to his own 'unholy acts', which many in the docks could attest to :) )). Upon his banishment from the Lesser Order he gained the blue mark that has come to signify him. He was marked with a band of dark blue from his inner wrist wrapping up to his shoulder on his sword arm. Darrin never covers the mark, considering it his "rose", and adding a thorn for each man or monster he has dispatched in the docks and his sorties to the sea. Bluemark is known as one of the greatest harriers in Legendfall. Bluemark robs businesses, merchant houses, guilds, and mugs travelers. He has three to five trusted thugs with him at any given time but his trust does not provide for long life. Bluemark seems to be inspired with the luck and skill of the gods themselves, and has tricked many into his hands. Bluemark frequents brothels, winepots, and can also be found doing work on the docks for pay. He is still pious though he sponsors wandering clerics of faiths who he feels are 'honorable'. He holds to a strict code of conduct, including an overall protection of children, a brutal ideal of equality, and his steadfast belief in a foolish idea of the mighty protecting the meek. Darrin Bluemark is a skilled barber and bonesetter, can throw a pot or shoe a horse, but he is most at home with murder and malice. Bluemark is often gone from Legendfall during High Season, taking ships to war and wealth, and returning with large amounts of treasure and a few more mouths to feed. He has seven wives and over two dozen "whelps" of his own. They see to his affairs when he is gone including the issuance of ship's assurance and crafting. His three eldest (two sons and a daughter), have taken to their father's footsteps, though his eldest son was lost to battle alongside his father in a boarding party. His daughter Deadly Mari has a reputation for her skills with dagger and short sword, though the Harrier's sons all take up their father's favored weapons of cudgel, hammer, and warspade. Suggested Builds: I know that many of you have various games that you play and thus I will not presume to choose the levels or classes for such a character for you. Personally I have always used Darrin as a strong/smart character, with levels of Rogue and Barbarian to balance out his rages and seemingly excellent luck. He is a large man, usually wearing either his normal clothing or light armors that would be found on a seabound marine to prevent drowning. He is most comfortable with blunt weapons (simply because he began in 2e when clerical restrictions would make even laity rarely had access to blood-letting in our games). He would be mid-level at his age, with a solid grounding in stealth, intimidation, and a well-balanced series of skills and ability scores. 15-14-11-16-12-11 were his original stats in standard D&D order. As any traveler he will have access to multiple languages, talent with business dealings due to his assurance and moneylending, and a learned talented for minor diplomacy to prevent his rage from overflowing and causing trouble. Churchmice coming up soon. Slainte, -Loonook. [/QUOTE]
