Your character's full name: Baltero Marx (his beasts call him the Foxfire)
Age: 26 years
Species: Red Fox
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Good
Appearance:
Age: 26 years
Species: Red Fox
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Good
Appearance:
Baltero is of average height for a fox, but is built up slightly more than usual. He has brownish-red fur on most of his body save his white paws, white tailtip, and white chest. The tips of his ears are more brown than the rest of him and he is actually quite good-looking. Baltero's eyes are somewhat legendary: They are both a deep midnight blue and are capable of entrancing serpents and some birds. His clothing consists of a sea-green silk tunic with a deep pine green belt that matches. Occationally he wears a ragged brown cloak for disguise purposes. Even more rare is the event of seeing him dressed in a red velvet cape trimmed with rabbit fur, and wearing with it a gold coronet studded with a single aquamarine. There is an X-shaped scar on his forehead, and nobeast is sure where he got it...Belongings:
His belongings include his clothing, plus a set of steel war armor with spikes on the shin guards and gauntlets. Baltero's weapon is a longsword called Foxfire. He is the master of the R.A.L.B.U.'s lair, which is an underground system of beast-made tunnels. There is a vast amount of corsair loot and other lost treasures hidden in this lair.Job or Position:
He is the Lord of a small army of skilled beasts known as the R.A.L.B.U.Personality:
Baltero is a good and considerate leader that puts a high value on the trust and well-being of his beasts. He is almost a fatherly figure; showing compassion for those in need and helping to lift them up again. Generous, he pays any who work for him handsomely in both loot and goodwill. In battle he is a swift thinker as well as a learned bladebeast, and always leads from the front--the first to charge and the last to retreat. One thing he truely despises is treachery: This is the one thing that will lead him to a Bloodwrath. Everything else is tolerable in his mind.History and Background Information:
He has an interest in medicinal herbs and collects all kinds of funguses and plants.
Years ago in the southern tip of the mountains around Bat Mountpit, a red fox was born that would one day become the Foxfire. He began simply as a part of a small clan of hunter-gatherers whom some claim were gifted with magic powers. Such was only true in the slightest for Baltero: He soon learned of his powers of hypnotism and vowed only to use them for good. As an adolescent he heard tales of violence, bloodshed and treachery from a weasel friend named Monty Twohook who traveled around, and he was appalled that his own kind and the races he had friends in would do such things. Spurred on by this tragic news he and Monty ventured off to form an army that could protect helpless creatures.Any other details:
He has now been on the move for quite a while and only recently settled into a base in the northwest reaches of Mossflower. Together with his beasts he has raided and broken up many robber camps, attacked corsair vessels, and fiercely dealt with outlaws and theives. Because of this R.A.L.B.U. now has allies with the Flitchaye weasels, the Swampdark toads, and several crow clans. But such company does not bode well with the creatures traditionally thought of as "goodbeasts"...
