Character Sheet for Clove Weaver
Species
True Mimic (not to be confused with Crawler type Mimics)
Character Description
Clove is the crass companion of Jack Jackson. Together they have fought many foes and saved many people. Nowadays they have settled down in Diegoltun but should a time come when they are needed again they will be ready. Clove can often be found around Jack or at the local bar. Deceptively skilled at battle he's not someone you would like to cross even if he does boast more than he's capable of. However, his questionable moral stance means you might not have to depending on the situation. As a side note he's actually highly skilled at languages and archaeology, which can be very handy sometimes.
Personality
Unfortunately being rather flammable he's developed a strong fear of fire which often gets in the way. Despite this, his boasting and larger than life behavior can be endearing. He's often got a lot of get up and go and doesn't like to hang around doing nothing. Always there to aid his friends and never one to quit, he's a good team player though his moral grounding is questionable at best. He often says things he shouldn't and tries hard not to swear around children though he may be unsuccessful in times of shock. Ultimately he's harmless except maybe when he's drunk which is often. He enjoys a good fight but rarely takes life too seriously even when he should do. He also often bites off more than he can chew and picks fights with people he shouldn't. To his benefit though he can be rather understanding on a deep level even if he has an unusual way of showing it.
Likes/Dislikes
likes alcohol and women and dislikes having to keep his mouth shut and follow rules. Loves to go on adventures and take part in fights and dislikes being bored and learning things except for his pet topic of archaeology.
Background/History
Clove used to be like all the other True Mimics hanging around the castle he called home in Grenwuld until a tasty adventurer walked by. That adventurer was a young Jack Jackson and, after having an exhausting fight, Clove managed to overpower Jack. However, when Clove's fellow monsters wanted to devour Jack, Clove refused saying that he respected Jack as a fighter. Clove's fellow monsters laughed and foolishly said that if Clove stood in their way then they'd have to fight him. Clove laughed much louder and said "Let's start then" and proceeded to beat them all up. After winning the fight, Clove took Jack to a safe spot outside the castle where the two of them talked and decided to become friends. Despite skepticism by many potential customers Jack and Clove managed to become successful hired heroes and began to get a modest reputation around the area. Realizing that Monsterville was in a lot more turmoil they went south and moved into an area with several struggling counties that was still small enough not to picked off by more successful heroes. Roughly in the middle of these troubled counties was a Olrit county, a small and rather unassuming collection of settlements with nothing interesting in particular about them. This would be the perfect place to set up shop. They opened an office in Olrit city but, after solving all the problems in the local area, ran a bit dry on people in need and had to downsize. They chose Diegoltun as their new home as it's cheaper, near an army barracks, which could give them a good lead on trouble and surrounded by forests full of potentially dangerous wildlife. They still get the occasional cry for help but nowadays they tend to rely on other jobs to get them through.
Relatives/Family
Clove had a family of monsters back in his original castle home but they were never really that close. Now the nearest he has to family is his friend Jack Jackson.
World/Setting
The Valhalor world is a mixture between real-world, fantasy and sci-fi settings with the second item being a more dominant factor. There are 8 islands in Valhalor, 5 of which are divided into multiple countries. Many years ago there was a war between the Dozers of Meka Island and the Yovans of South Island, which resulted in Valhalor being divided into 2 warring alliances. Monsterville is a country in South Island that is strongly fantasy themed, though Olrit county in particular is very much modern day. Monsterville is mostly forested and has a European look. It's home to a lot of unusual wildlife and often hazardous kinds. Diegoltun City is the main setting for the Monsterville game which this character is from. The city has a wide range of businesses from shops, craft works and restaurants to offices, entertainment and tourist attractions. There are also several smaller villages around Diegoltun and the city itself is sat next to a much larger city known as Olrit.
Body
Clove is a tan colored woven wicker basket with a white plastic lining on the inside. Around the base and up the sides he's strengthened with black iron rods. The nearest thing to eyes that he has are two handles that are inset on the front of his lid. This is also the closest he has to a real mouth. He stands at an unusually tall height for a basket though he's still rather short compared to human height.
Clothing
He's a basket. He doesn't need clothes.
Accessories
Sometimes Clove carries useful items inside himself like potions or equipment though mostly he carries dirty laundry nowadays. Clove does however always carry an axe inside him which he is particularly skilled with in combat.
