    Muninn Corvus


    Muninn Corvus Age: 26
    Gender: Male
    Species: Changeling (Raven)

    Appearance: Muninn is a lanky man of about 6'0" with a thin body from long travels. He has a handsome and fine boned face. He has short black hair that is an unruly mess and eyes with jet black irises. His skin is bronze in hue due to excessive sun. He has very few possessions. Black leather boots, black pants and a simple black vest over a white shirt are all the clothes that he owns. He has a hip-pouch attached to a leather belt that he uses to carry small items in. His only possession of any worth to him is a small carving of a feather.

    Guild/Rank: None

    Personality: Muninn is a talkative man who tends to watch everyone and everything that happens around him. His verbosity is never constrained so every passerby, that he is trying to swindle, hears his chatter. Muninn is very attracted to things that sparkle and shine. His sticky fingers tend to attach themselves to anything small enough (and sometimes not small enough) to fit in his bag if he can not convince you to give the item to him in the first place.

    Parents: Aogils (Noble Sun Beam in Norse) Corvus (Father), Afrior (Beautiful Ancestor in Norse) Corvus (Mother)

    Other Familial Ties: Hlin Corvus was his young wife that died with the rest of his family.

    Background: Muninn was born and lived in a small village located in the forest northwest of Kiridia on the ocean. The small community was isolated and far from most aid. A year into Muninn and Hlin's marriage, a deadly flu spread through the village and Muninn's family was one of those affected. Muninn who had not caught it while his parents and wife had, left the village to get help from a healer but by the time he got back, his family had passed away. Over half of the village was wiped out by the sickness. Muninn left his home to travel the world. His distant relatives in his clan tried to convince him to stay but Muninn was too scared by the memory of his losses. Muninn has been traveling Shadow Star for the past two years and has not settled in one place for too long.


    Grandma (Hag) Age: 564
    Gender: Female
    Species: ½ Human and ½ Gnome

    Appearance: "An old weather-beaten crone, having her chin and knees meeting for age, walking like a bow, leaning on a staff, hollow-eyed, untoothed, furrowed, having her limbs trembling with palsy, going mumbling through the streets." (Buckland, R, 2001) This nearly describes Grandma. However Grandma does have some teeth, and her eyes are not hollow but sparkle out of her sunken face as little bits of fire. Her face can been like sunshine with a smile or terrify a child into lifelong nightmares depending on Grandma's mood. She has white hair that nearly drags on the ground and she wears old dresses. Browns, blacks and dark purples are her typical preference. She wears no shoes and always carries a large walking stick that is a good foot over her hunched shoulders. If she straightened up, she would be approximately 4'6" tall, but bent over she hovers between 4'0" and 3'8". She has a bulbous nose that usually is in a state of extreme redness. Her constant companions are; a giant leather bound book strapped to her back, her walking stick made of oak, a large waist bag, a herb knife, and countless baubles, jangles and other outrageous jewelry.

    Guild/Rank: None

    Personality: Grandma is an independent old woman who has no care for anything others have to say about her. Her existence is to heal those in need and learn the secrets of the common folk. She is a kind and caring woman, but who has a temper that would make the hardiest demon in Chaos shudder in fear. She lives her life as she sees fit and woo to anyone who attempts to tell her differently. All are welcome on her doorstep but once you are in her care, you will do as she says.

    Family

    Father (human): Drystan Winchcombe. Now deceased, he was a wealthy merchant in Shadow Star before Chaos rose to power.
    Mother (Gnome): Penarrdun Winchcombe. Now deceased and was a Changer of Tryea.
    Siblings: Llyod Winchcombe: Brother. Age: 569. Bank Master.
    Other Familial Ties: No known cousins or relatives that at least want anything to do with the family.

    Background: Grandma's parents fell in love when her father was strolling through the druid halls in Starscape. They met there and a love kindled. Their first child was a boy and he quickly grew up and helped his father run his various enterprises. Grandma, who was named Heledd, was born before the Chaos occupation and took quickly to healing magic and folk stories. She was already well into her training as a healer when Chaos invaded. Her father supported the new government and her mother stood by him even when she was removed from the guild. However, when the government got word that Penarrdun was a druid, they imprisoned her and eventually killed her. Drystan was heartbroken and soon died of old age and apathy. Llyod survived those times and eventually got into banking and has been doing it ever since. After her parent's deaths, Grandma traveled and collected folk methods of healing and magic. Her book is filled with recipes, rituals, and lore. Grandma has temporarily settled down outside of Cascadia in a hovel. During her travels, she stopped using her name and became known simple as Grandma or Hag depending on where she was. Grandma is a free spirit that roams cultures, lands and people.

    Pet Pet name: Mab Species: Wynd Pet description(s): Mab is a familiar who has chosen Grandma as her caretaker. She is a lazy Wynd, who uses any excuse to lie in the most annoying spots. Mab will typically ignore most activities, except something that disturbes or threatens Grandma's precious book. Then Mab turn's into a black ball of fury. Mab has black fur and wings. Her eyes are bright yellow.
