I Was asked to join this most interesting and well-organized join-in, and thus could simply not resist to write up a character sheet. (Which, by chance, is the first character sheet I have ever written!)
So, I here proudly present:
[list]
Name: Gerardo Floriano Niccolò de Patrizio, Earl of Northport (commonly known as Patrizio).
Race: Human.
Age: Around 30.
Gender: Male.
Height: Tall enough! (About 2 metres).
Weight: (
) Even a man can be sensitive about his weight! (About 160 kilograms).
Hair: Reddish brown, quite long; sometimes with a braid in the back, tied up with a black little bow tie.
Eyes: Dark brown; has a soft and tender gaze.
Clothing: Wears numerous kinds of coats in brilliant colours of finest silk, with different vests beneath, and white shirts under that: (See portrait below). Wears black Rococo-shoes, with gilded rosettes; and long white socks: a typical outfit for noblemen, though some think him quite old-fashioned in his fashion. On the right hand, on one of his fingers, he wears a ring, with his own seal (used for signing letters and envelopes) which also functions as some form of knuckle duster.
Weaponry: His mighty fists, and a rapier, resting in its sheath, hanging from his belt.
Occupation: Earl of Northport, inheritor of the grand estate of his mother; and thus very wealthy. (Yet, for some reason, very few people know anything about Northport, upsetting the always so proud Earl).
Appearance: Fat. His belly is in fact so enormous, that it is quite a wonder his legs have the strength to carry him around. His face reminds a bit of the snout of a pig: pinkish, a large nose &c.
Personality: A true gentleman in most aspects, at some points a bit of a romantic fellow; although he can be quite shy and modest very often. He has a fondness of bragging and boasting often remarking how many battles he has won, fought in, and so on though he is in fact utterly useless in combat, and has not achieved that much in his life so far.
Favourite colour: Lilac.
Voice: Despite being a largely built man, with obviously huge lungs, the Earl has a very light, calm, mild and sensitive voice; almost feminine in tone, but still with enough manliness to make sure not to cause any confusion.
Has a most polite and charming accent.
Accessories: Monocle, pocket watch, walking cane, money pouch, a set of cards, a set of
rather magical cards, a pocket Tible, a notebook, quill and ink; a receipt from a tailors shop, dating months back, which he has forgotten to remove from his pocket; and, his wallet, containing some coins, and a small, self-painted picture of his dear mother: I never go anywhere without her.
Skills: He is very rich, having many estates and mansions, owning a farm or two (though he has no need of them, as he has absolutely no skills at all in farming or breeding).
Has a somewhat persuading ability, able to talk himself out of trouble or just lifting a man he finds disturbing by firmly grabbing his throat with his strong hands.
Has absolutely no skills in combat; his rapier is merely a sign of his high rank in society.
But even though lacking almost everything which may be useful, the Earl can give an intimidating feeling, thanks to his enormous body. He is also rather witty and clever. At least a bit so.
Weaknesses: Clumsy, a bit slow, scared of rats and mice, and is most self-conscious about his weight; though, he would only like to lose a few kilos, not exactly turn slim: I find it quite amusing to just bump into an enemy with my large jelly-belly!
Interests: The Earl enjoys everything good in life: A good meal, a good wine, a good casket of ale or beer, nice clothes, nice bed sheets, nice curtains, gilded embroideries, good literature, fragrant flowers, nice cutlery, expensive wagons, fast horses, good music, a good play at the playhouse and a nice cup of tea. Two drops of milk, no sugar.
History: His life so far has yet to be presented to the public: his memoirs are still being written on.
Trivia: Is extremely proud and fond of his hair.
Quotation from his mother about her son: A big, fat boar on the outside but a cute little piggy on the inside.
