Description/Background:
Gibbering Wielder of the Air is fairly average looking, though years of hard living have left him strong and fleet of foot. Although he has the mental capacity for knowledge, a blow to the head during his youth has left Gibbering Wielder with great difficulties in communicating his thoughts to others. Many times, what he says is nonsensical or random. The shorter the response, the more easily he can communicate. Nonverbally, he is able to clearly indicate his intentions with facial expressions, by nodding and shaking his head, and using his hands to direct or point.

He is the second oldest of four Yellow brothers. His other brothers - Magnificent Wielder of the Earth, Cunning Wielder of the Seas, and Screaming Wielder of the Sun - still live in their home village, none of them yet having the desire to go forth and explore the lands.

In battle, Gibbering Wielder will first use his great horn bow to rain arrows onto his foe. The arrows he uses are made from the solid thigh carapace of a large, but skinny, carnivorous horned beetle found on the plains near their village. The fletching is made from the feathered antennae and the points made from the tips of the claws of the same insect. He will use other arrow shaft and fletching material in a pinch, but this is his preferred source. His armour is also sourced from the same insect.

I rolled an 08 for Dexterity and picked that for my re-roll.

Hmm..

Hirelings/Retainers
I'll update as needed

((Typically, I wait for the meat of a character's history to see if he actually survives long enough to see if it will be relevant, these days! I'll work something out in the next few days if that is desirable, though.))

By the way... an Excellent name for the character thread...
