Jakey

[Jakey]

Your character's full name: Jakey (No known last name)

Age: 15 & 1/2 years

Species: River otter

Gender: Male

Appearance: Like most otters, Jakey has dark brown fur, and brown eyes. He has a large, thick tail, webbed paws, and dark brown eyes that usually sparkle with suppressed humor. He is tall for his age, and is lean and muscular. He has a single scar running down the length of his left forearm, but other then that does not have any other scars or noticeable blemishes. He is, however, a scruffy-looking young otter. Personal grooming was never a particular interest of his, and it shows in his unkempt appearance.

Belongings: Jakey's belongings consist of some armor he found in Mossflower, and a couple weapons, namely a small dagger and his sling and stone-pouch.

Job or Position: Wandering otter, although he wants to join up with an ottercrew.

Personality: Jakey is a headstrong young otter. He possesses a fiery temper, and is not above yelling or lashing out when extremely angry. He is prideful and stubborn, but will admit his mistakes, and he does have respect for creatures of higher rank then himself. It takes a while for him to get used to others, but if he becomes friendly with a creature, he will be a steadfast and loyal friend. Unfortunately, his headstrong nature has led him to do some pretty stupid things, and he tends to act without thinking. Additionally, he is fairly excitable, and it is easy to get him worked up about something.

History and Background Information: Jakey was born in the forest of Mossflower, and his early years were quite peaceful. He remembers little from that time, and his most vivid memory from that time was when the vermin raided his small home. His parents were sitting down, eating their mid-afternoon repast, and discussing things unknown to Jakey in low voices, furtively glancing around as they did. Then, in a heartbeat, an arrow flew from the foliage nearby, piercing the heart of Jakey's mother.

The rest was a blur, and Jakey's next memory was waking up in the middle of the forest, with no memory of how he'd gotten there. He was only a few years old, but he learned to forage for food, and he scavenged other supplies from dead creatures he'd found in the woods. He wandered a lot, occasionally meeting friendly creatures, other times meeting bands of vermin roving through Mossflower.

There were several times when he was lucky to escape alive, and one time, a particularly evil stoat managed to catch Jakey unawares, and it was only by throwing his arm up to take the brunt of the weasel's sword-strike did he manage to live. Jakey eventually hopes to stop wandering Mossflower, and settle down somewhere, but he's never found a suitable place to live in. He's often dreamed of Redwall Abbey, a place of wealth and plenty, but recently, he began to doubt the stories he'd heard, dismissing them of as just fairy tales. After all, he had no evidence to support the myths, and he'd heard something about it being overrun by vermin.

Any other details: Nothing...?

Code Words: -Correct-

[Treble Tiderunner]

Wow, looks good! And don't worry about the other codeword, I've had to move some things around because of coding problems, and I haven't updated that yet. Little comment, by the time he was born Redwall was already well-known as Fort N'Tashi in the Mossflower area. If you could adjust that, though its perfectly fine to have tales of Redwall abbey being a peaceful place of plenty and whatnot in his history.

[Jakey]

OK... I think I've fixed that. Does it look accurate now?

[Treble Tiderunner]

Yes, thank you.

Accepted.
