Name: Henflick Thumble Gender: Male Age: 32 Species: Vole Occupation: Travelling mercenary
Physical Appearance:
Henflick is heavily set and some may consider him fat on first sight. This impression is almost entirely erroneous however; it is an illusion created by the many layers of coats, waistcoats and jackets which he wears at all times, even during the summer, in an attempt to force others to take him more seriously. He is in reality a fairly slim individual with well-kept brown fur whenever he can manage it, but given his occupation he found it necessary to create a more intimidating impression. His eyes are narrow and blue, generally good-humoured. He wears a huge variety of garments in various stages of disrepair, and some take him for an old clothes salesman at first sight, which was not exactly the impression that he was going for.
Possessions:
The short answer is everything. He lives life on the road, and so he takes everything that he needs along with him. He has two plates, two cups, a set of wooden cutlery, a bundle of spare clothes and a hammock in his worn leather knapsack, and always has one long sword in his belt within easy reach, as well as having a shorter rapier concealed in his tall second-hand boots.
Personality:
Contrary to what one might expect from an individual in such a heartless profession, Henflick is actually an incredibly friendly and warm vole. He gets on well with more or less everybody, and those who he doesn't get on with he will irritate to the extreme by way of compensation. Boundless optimism and joy in life are two of his trademarks, and living the life that he does they are more or less essential to get him through the day.
There is a darker side to this cheerful vole, however. He has lived a violent life in some dangerous places, however well he disguises it, and some vestige of that lurks in his mind. He is always watching his back, and his front, and everyone else's too. He is incredible protective of everything and everyone around him, and he will not tolerate any kind of insult. Henflick believes that what he does makes the world safer for everyone, and he should earn some kind of respect by doing it.
Strengths:
-Friendliness -Skill in combat -Good liar
Weaknesses:
-Short temper -Commitment issues -Tendency towards violence -Insecurity about his strength and ability
History:
Henflick never knew his parents; he was brought up as part of a group of ruffians and fighters, travelling all across the country- a lifestyle which he has maintained ever since. The closest thing he ever had to a father was a stoat who gave him lessons in fighting. Strangely, he never knew the stoat's name, since the two only ever met for the lessons, but that stoat taught him more about life in those few short hours than any other animal of his acquaintance did during the whole rest of his life. Later, he came to suspect that the group, which was made up of animals such as foxes and cats, had actually murdered his family, since he doubted that they would ever have tolerated someone of his species among them. It as made abundantly clear to him that he was only tolerated because he had grown up with them, and finally he had had enough and broke away, taking two particular friends with him. Both sadly perished shortly after leaving the group in a fight with a badger. After this, Henflick was left desolate and wandered aimlessly from place to place, achieving nothing much and drinking to excess. His life changed forever one day when a shrew he met in a bar offered him a fee to protect him on his travels. Henflick accepted, and seeing that this was a respectable way in which he could earn his keep by using the combat skills which he had picked up from the vagabonds, he embarked on a new section of his life as a respected and widely sough after sword for hire. He has been continuing with this occupation for many years now, and is perfectly happy with it, but he still longs to catch up with the ruffians who he grew up among and to revenge his parents' deaths.
Relationships:
Henflick makes friends with more or less everyone, but particular friends are Lucra; an otter who he travelled with for a long time and still meets occasionally; and Hibrox; a hedgehog who looks out for second hand clothes for him.
