Cedric/Hooks

Adventurous

Very adventurous and more willing to endanger his life in the name of thrillseeking than any being probably should be. Although he may complain
a little when things get tough, he definitely enjoys the adrenaline rush. Need someone who will take point in a dark, scary cavern? This is the
badger for you!

Mage Adept

Through intense study and the competitive nature of Cliffside's academies, as well as months of practical application, Cedric has become quite
proficient in the working of various schools of math. It's a bit of an open secret that he has an affinity and interest in dark magic, and not
so much a secret that he's fond of fire magic. He is not limited to these two schools, however.

As a somewhat experienced mage, he's more than willing to assist less experienced mage apprentices with their studies, and help them out if they
ask! Though, occasionally, he may need to be bribed with a round of drinks or a meal beforehand, depending on how lazy he's feeling at the time.

Dark Knight

He has a large personal interest in the Dark Math often used by shadows and dabbles in it a little bit, himself. His preferred weapon class when
equipped with this soul are moderate length polearms with very sharp business ends. He is more adept with spears than swords.

Gifted

He's one of them. He often wanders into the Freesword's Guild looking for work, or something to do. Or something to drink. He is likely
to be found harassing the innkeeper with endless questions and indecisiveness as he tries to figure out what he wants to order. Yes...
he's one of those people. He hesitates more in choosing food and drink than he would in entering a dangerous place.

Shy

Yes, but not... enough to hide himself away from the world. He opens up pretty quickly after meeting new people and having a good
conversation. He's quiet a lot of the time, but occasionally he'll chime in with a lame joke. He's always good for a lame joke.
Though some just meeting him for the first couple times might assume off the bat that he's just distant, grumpy, or sort of a lone
wolf, none of these descriptions actually define him. He tends to prefer the company of others but doesn't really know how to express
it without feeling horribly awkward about it. He suffers from unfamiliarity with interacting with others in a non-competitive way and
his extreme awareness of his own social ineptitude tends to inhibit him from expressing himself. On the inside he actually harbors some
jealousy towards the ability of other beings to be social and make friends easier than it seems to come to him.

Helpful

He would love to be of help to people! He's just not very proactive about it. He's always willing to lend a hand if asked, and if he doesn't
think he'll just get in the way. He's a great follower too, generally preferring to defer to someone else in group situations, and usually
won't hesitate to follow any reasonable request asked of him.

Morally Flexible

Until he was offered a place of study in the Cliffside schools, he had been living mostly by himself, as a street urchin, in his earlier youth.
He's had to do some fairly creative things to get by, stealing food and coin the least of which. It's nothing special, but he is able to look
at moral issues as more than black and white, and is willing to look the other way about minor legal infractions, or consider the other side
of a greater one.

Photographic Memory

Nevermind that there probably aren't any cameras around... (this is now less true!) this badger was born with perfect visual recollection.
And the perk to +prove it. While he can recall exact visual details, his memory in regards to his other senses is far less, however. He'll
usually be able to tell you exactly what you were wearing on a specific day years in the past, as well as what the weather was like, but he
may not remember exactly what you said, what things smelled like, how he felt or what he was thinking about at the time. He'll usually try to
paraphrase things like that, if possible.

Musician/Performer

With the use of the performer soul, he's learned rather quickly how to play a wide variety of musical instruments. He's still a bit too shy to
actually sing, and it would be hard to get him to dance... although as a member of the Graceful Clan and a rather athletic being, he wouldn't
have too much trouble doing it. His preferred instrument to play is the guitar.

He hasn't performed in public very often. Just a few times. Though every time he has, he's been met with more praise and attention than he finds
himself able to deal with. Still, if one were to ask around the maritime district and the beach, they might talk to you at great length about
a badger that often plays music by the beach most nights.
