Name: "Hawkeye" Morrison Higgs
Age: 28
Guild & Rank: Keim of the Elfen Streik
Vocation: Greatbowman
Skills
-Marksmanship. Morrison Higgs is known as the Hawkeye among his peers,who are the finest marksmen in all the land. He has been said to skewer two Bloodflies on a single arrow,and shatter a Bone Moss host at the same time.
-Greatbowmanship. A greatbow is the prize pig of bows. They are by a great margin larger than the person using it,making them incredibly difficult to aim,but giving them peerless draw power. They are the ultimate expression of a marksman's skill,patience,and strength.
-Fletching. A greatbow is a very unique weapon. Few people learn to use them,and fewer still bothered to keep using them. As such,few people know how to make a proper arrow for a greatbow. Higgs is one of those few people,and he takes great pride in his work.
-Modified Stick-Fighting. Higgs knows that his greatbow is worthless up close. As such,he's learned to use his four-foot arrows as lethal melee weapons.
-Pugilist. He didn't exactly study the art of fist-to-face,but his size and strength make his punches feel like a blow from Kalameet,and he knows how to drive a man,or beast,to the ground and break every joint in their body.
Gear
-Leather vambraces. These bracers protect the inside surface of Morrison's forearms from his bowstring. He has similar elbow protection.
-Greatbow. What defines Morrison Higgs. A nine foot bow,it generally has to be left outside. At present,it's a normal recurve,but he plans to take it to the Jade Drills to get a compound made.
-Reinforced Quiver. Made of a hollowed out log of ironwood,and banded with iron for good measure,this thing is probably a weapon in it's own right. However,it's home is on Morrison's arrows.
-Great Arrows. Four feet long,they resemble javelins more than arrows. For the most part,they're barbed broadheads,with the heads clocking in at about half a foot long. He has bodkin arrows as well,but he only packs them if he's anticipating armoured prey.
-Logic and Reason. His left and right arms. His hooks pack enough force to put the common man to sleep with one swing at the jaw.
-Hook and chain. For when he needs to climb somewhere.
-"Armour". A hodge-podge suit of armour made from the bones and tanned leather of his kills,this macabre outfit provides protection only from the elements,and most abrasion.
Location: Jadetown terminal of the tram line.
Stands seven feet tall,and weighs 280 pounds of muscle. Just ditch the helmet.
And there's his ugly mug!
Personality: To describe his personality is to describe a flask and it's contents. Outwardly,he is an understated and obliging man,almost seeming like a doormat. However,like any human being,he can only take so much before he boils over. However,when he does boil over,woe is you,for his fury has been known to topple some buildings in Elfencrown. Less explosive outbursts include hoisting grown men by the throat,and asking them to rephrase what they just said in an even voice that implies a violent death if ignored. Thankfully,however,it generally takes quite a bit to push him to this point.
Background: The Titanic Treetops. In these wild lands are home to many people,but are some of the most wild and unsafe lands in the world,where an unassuming vine can break your neck and eat you alive. Morrison Higgs was born and raised here,in the paranoid reaches of Elfencrown.
In Elfencrown,he was an oddity. Surrounded by slender men and women,Morrison is a giant among men. However,despite his great size,he still found himself gravitating towards the use of a bow. His aptitude fir the weapon quickly drew the attention of the Elfen Streik leadership,and they snatched him up into their ranks.
His training was grueling and intense,just like all other guilders,but for him,it was particularly difficult. He didn't know magic,nor did he have the aptitude for it. He couldn't swing a sword to save his life,and while he could handle knives well enough,he commented that they were far too short for his liking. When given polearms,he initially tried to fire them from his bow,before proclaiming that they were too clumsy to wield in melee.
Eventually,the instructors passed him a greatbow,made specifically for him,and they were blown away by how he was able to use the weapon. He fired arrows quickly,and his shots were generally quite accurate. When he graduated from the academy,he was hailed as the most promising marksman to grace it's halls.
From then on,he led an illustrious career as a hunter of beasts for the Elfen Streik,shooting targets and putting them down when his peers simply couldn't. However,every now and then,Elfencrown would be shaken to it's support pylons by one of his fits of rage,when they forget that the gentle giant among them is a force of nature when provoked.
Today,after an outburst that actually leveled one of the more popular watering holes in Elfencrown,Morrison was assigned an escort duty contract in the Canyons of Eternal Stone,and he saw it as an opportunity to get one of those fancy compound bows that people keep telling him to get.
