• Full name: Brennel Flippins
• Birth date: Marpenoth 2
• Birth order: second of 4
• Parents (or Guardian) and parent's occupations as well as additional family information:
• Major childhood influences, traumas, events, emotional wounds: He was dipped into a lake repeatedly by his mother during a canoe trip before he learned how to swim. He never took a liking to water since then. He prefers marine travel on large ships, and is afraid of traveling on rocky smaller boats.

One day while hunting with his friend Shep in the woods, they came upon a dire weasel. The weasel, sensing the weaker enemy latched onto Shads and almost lethally wounded him. After finishing off the weasel, who had latched himself onto Shads, he checked to make sure Shads was okay. As Shep lay there bleeding, Brennel wept and held a dying friend in his arms. He suddenly felt infused with a divine power (cure minor wounds from Shads) and mimicked the spell he had seen Shads cast numerous times, taking Shad's holy symbol in his hand.

Shep's bleeding stopped, and Brennel thanks Brandobaris for giving him the power to save his friend. After a week of keeping it to himself, guilt caused him to tell the temple clerics what happened, in case his ability had harmed Shads in a way he couldn't see.

• Talents: keen fashion sense, passable singing voice (untrained)
• Flaws, vulnerabilities: unlikely to risk himself harm unless the party decision is against him, cowardly, very critical of appearances (he tends to trust people with few physical flaws), opportunistic (although not really a flaw, he chooses not to rush into a situation unless he's sure he has the upper hand)
• Strengths: good with children, loyal to friends
• Religious affiliation/Patron Diety: Brandobaris, extremely devoted. He thinks that his power was granted by his god (which probably isn't the case)
• Attitudes, personality type: extrovert, optimist
• Primary relationships, marital status and capacity for intimacy: Close with immediate family members, single, not interested in settling down. He'll wait until he returns to his village
• Occupation: exonerated from working in order to discover his new powers, spent time a short time as a hunter (spot, hide, move silently, tumble, search), and time as an arcane student under a village wizard (spellcraft).
• Education: complete education with very basic arcane training
• Taste in clothes: colorful and trendy, when he can afford them. he doesn't wear nice clothing when he knows it's going to get dirty
• Food preferences: Everything. But never in excess.
• Health habits: drinks socially, enjoys full rest
• Recreation activities or hobbies: active connoisseur of candies, spelunking
• Pets: none, times before lintbrushes were difficult. He doesn't hate animals, he just prefers they don't jump all over him
• Favorite possessions: his most expensive clothing
• Mannerisms, expressions, gestures: flighty but warm toward those he likes. often goes over the top with expressing appreciation. can be seen as a bit of a brown-noser, and he does brown-nose, but often with no ulterior motive other than to gain the favor of others. he taps his leg constantly, sometimes even when he's not nervous. Everyone from his hometown asks him if he has to go to the bathroom
• Worst physical trait: equivalent of a Polish nose, but a little larger
• Best physical trait: Attractive build, toned and healthy
• Reason he or she is motivated: To learn more about his rare power (what you said)
• 2 Enemies: Tilo (a bully and long-time nemesis from school), Dreena (woman who consistently wears white after highharvestide despire Brennel's pleading)
• 2 Friends: Shads, training acolyte of Brandobaris (best friend from village who helped Brennel discover his power) Roscoe - mentor for spellthieving knowledge in LRC, where Brennel prefers to stay (at living cost)
• Reactions under stress: Look for the first sign that I'm outmatched. If outmatched I run, or try to set up a plan of escape for my friends
• Lifestyle (poor, moderate, rich, luxury): moderate
• Goals, long and short term: join a supportive guild in Lone Rock City, discover more about the spellthief ability, become active in the events of Lone Rock City.
