For your character please include:
NAME: Rydoc
AGE: 39
RACE: Human, Lossoth
GENDER: Male
WEAPONS: Rydoc has no real weaponry, and his knife is the only thing classed as a weapon that he carries around with him. He also has an old rusty sword, which he keeps at his house, but if he were to hit someone with it then the sword would most likely break, rather than the person beneath it.
APPEARANCE: Slightly shorter than the average height, but Rydoc is quite a bulky fellow, so if anyone needed to do some lifting and carrying of large and heavy objects, then Rydoc would be their man. He has many layers of clothing, but his warmest piece is a coat made from the pelt of a white wolf.
He has dark hair and a brown eye colour, and he also has some facial hair, which helps to keep his face warm in the extreme weather conditions at the Ice bay. In fact, Rydocs fingers and toes go numb very often due to the cold, even though he is extremely precautious about how warm his clothing is.
PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Rydoc is quite a kind and talkative person to be around, if you stop on his good side, and seems to get along with most people. He has a tendency to speak what he thinks and believes that he has a right to express his own opinion, and disagree with other peoples. Rydoc, along with quite a few other Lossoth’s, is not happy with the actions of the chieftains at present, and would like to see them overthrown.
Rydoc is definitely a useful person to be around as he can build, hunt and also has knowledge in seal training (thanks to his friend Torn). But, even though he is good with manual and physical work, reading is not his strong point. Do not, however, mistake him for being unintelligent as he has the potential to be very clever, but he simply hasn’t used the potential yet.
HISTORY: Rydoc was born by the Ice bay and he grew up, leaning many of the ways in which he would need to survive. His father was his mentor and he taught him most things including reading, which he still hasn’t entirely grasped due to not having enough time. He also taught Rydoc many physical duties, like hunting and building ice houses. After His father died, Rydoc continued with everyday work at the bay, and one of his main jobs was helping people build new houses or repair old ones, for a price that is.
Rydoc also took to traveling in his sled, in fact, when he had no work to do he could travel round all day with his five dogs. Of course, Rydoc never went out of the ice bay, but he still enjoyed to visit all the places that he could get to.
He became quite good friends with Tarn, as they seemed to have a lot in common and he conversed and spent time with him often. More importantly, they shared the same views on how the current chieftains should be dropped, but, whereas Tarn didn’t like the fact that they were higher than he, Rydoc simply didn’t think they were helping the Lossoth’s enough. Some time back, Tarn began to instruct Rydoc in the ways of seal training, he is still a beginner and has much to learn, but Rydoc seems interested in it and is coming along quickly, so he has been given a few seals of his own. With these seals, both Tarn and Rydoc are aiding the Corsairs to find an ancient treasure.

First post: Rydoc sighed as he looked out over the bay at the incoming storm clouds. Well, he thought to himself. That’s going to be bad news for the corsair ship. He and Torn had recently decided to lend them seals in aid of their task, in hope of getting an award of nice new weapons, which would help them overthrow the chieftains and appointing someone else to rule the clans. Rydoc didn’t mind who led them, if they managed to overthrow the chieftains, and he even considered leading them himself, but Rydoc lacked some important leadership qualities.
Rydoc clambered to his feet and walked over to where he had left his sled and dogs. “Okay fellas,” he said allowed to the dogs. “Let’s have a trip round the bay and then get home before the storm reaches.” With this, Rydoc gave a flick of the reigns and without hesitation the five white dogs leapt forward and into full flight.
They were riding round the bay for at least half an hour, when a familiar face game into Rydoc’s view. It was Torn, with a young lad who looked as if he was working for him. Rydoc new that the boy was the son of Talsson, a drunkard who was always loosing his money, though he new not the boys name, and as Rydoc brought his sledge to a halt he noticed an amazed and yet angry look upon Torns face.
“Seals okay Torn? You look a bit daunted,” Rydoc said as he approached them, Rydoc then saw for himself what they were looking at. Far out from the bay in the mists Rydoc made out the outline of a ship coming slowly towards the harbor where the Corsair ship was. His heart began to beat faster, the ship was surrounded in fog and the storm clouds were circling above it and yet the ship was managing to stay afloat with ease. To Rydoc, it almost looked as if it were a ghost ship, but as it got a little closer he noticed the Elvish symbols upon the ship.
“Well, that would explain why it stood afloat so easily in this storm…” Said Rydoc looking at the ship in a calmer, but slightly annoyed manner. “The Elves of Cirdan have some of the greatest ship builders, or so ive heard, though I don’t know why they need to go poking their noses in this business. I have nothing against the Elves but their enemies are the Corsairs, and so, at least in this moment in time, that makes the Elves our enemies.” Rydoc new that if the Corsairs failed in their mission due to the Elves interference, then Torn, Rydoc and all others on the side of the Corsairs would most likely not receive their payment of weapons from the Corsair Captain.
“Yes,” replied Torn. “And if they prevent us from getting our weapons after all the hard work we’ve done, I shall not be too happy.” Rydoc nodded when suddenly a crack of thunder bellowed above his head.
“Well, that’s my cue to get home. See you tomorrow Torn,” said Rydoc, and with this he leapt on his sled and went with great speed to the south, towards his home.
