Lets join in!!!!

Appearance:
Male, Sun-tanned skin, short brown hair, blue eyes, short sighted; so bad at aiming with ranged weapons.

Physical Ability:
Very good strength
Pretty good speed
Good stamina
O.K. dexterity
Below average toughness
Fair perception (due to shortsightedness)

Psyche:
I have a Mad, vindictive streak (perfect for Dungeon Master II) with Fair Willpower. I have Very good intelligence (although I suspect most people on the forum would), I would be able to speak well, but if I am nervous or talking to a large audience I stutter. I can withstand pain if I need to, but I would try not to get injured if I had the chance. I try to be friendly and compassionate to those in need, but I can never find the words that will help.

Quirks:
See's pictures in the clouds that no one else can spot, able to 'shut out' the need for sleep, although I have to be doing something to take my mind off of it, otherwise it caomes flooding back in. Oblivious to the temperature, always the last person to put on or take off a jumper in the room. left handed (Instant Devilspawn).

Likes:
Food!! I'm a bottomless pit.
reading,
Swimming.

Dislikes:
Tomatoes,
deep dark holes,

Story:
I have been trekking around the country offering my services to various people and collecting useful items, my last few jobs had been as a hired sword on a trade wagon. They were lucky to have me and my comrades. After being paid I was told about a landlord looking for help. And so, Here I am.
Spoiler:  Useful item list (click to show/hide)

I've posted my character, except for the story part.  What was Fenrir's story?

He was a landlord on a quest to save the world. You can have whatever story; I'll just change mine to match, since there is no landlord.

Well, my character sort of is. He's trying to improve it, which is sort of similar.  :P

I think I got that right.

By the way, I think I should define my interpretation of useless miscellanea "spelunking equipment" here:
  • A pickaxe or mattock
  • a lantern
  • about 50ft of rope
  • a hardhat
  • a grappling hook
  • a hammer
  • some iron spikes
  • inexplicably, a ten foot pole
  • a sack
  • some other stuff, probably
