Profession: Hunter's son
Appearance:
Djolimar is a compact boy of average hight. He has light brown hair and blue eyes and his tan cheeks have some light freckles.Personality:
He wares short pants that have tie strings at the cuff under a tunic of sandy natural hue, belted with rope. during the warmer weather. He rarely wears shoes though he has a special pair of semi enclosed sandles made of canvas and leather that he uses in the water and around the banks. His cloak is a rectangular peice of burlap that he pins at his shoulder and he has a hood made of simaler material that is a bit newer and sewn with fishing twine by his father.
In the cooler weather he dons a pair of taller boots that are a bit too big for him and sem to have been repaired so many times it is hard to see the original leather. He wears longer pants and an over tunic with long sleeves which are both made of grayish wool.
Djolimar is bright and enthusiastic. He is very well attuned to the wild and is completely at home there. He is bold sometimes to much so and very confident of his skills. He is not always realistic about how much he does not yet know so tends to over extend his limitations. He is an excellent shot with his whipbow and is learning to hunt with a bow at the hands of his father and mentor, "Fowler".History:
Djolimar and his father live in a small huntsmans cabin about halfway between Willowby and Westmarsh along the south road in the fife of Marshwood. The cabin sits back from the road on the gentle southern slope that leads down to the marsh at a point where the greenbelt dips it's skirts almost all the way down to the road.Additional Information:
His father is a good hunter and marshman and they make a subsistance from nature as they hunt, fish, trap and trade. Fowlur also skins and tans leather and furs and makes interesting items from natures bounty. Fowler Turtleman is not Djolimar's real father but the boy was adopted soon after he was born.
His parents and Fowlers own wife were both killed in the same marshfire and it seemed the right thing to do for the two to be together. Even though there are no blood bonds between the twoo, they are inseperable and the epitome of a loving father and son.
Fowler is very proud of Djolimer who he calls DJ most of the time and has taught him almost everything he can about living off the land. The boy still has much to learn but all in good time, Fowler says quite often that, "You must grow into the world, you don't start off with all you need, but you never stop collecting it."
Djolimar has a fine whipbow he made himself and several quivers of small specially notched arrows that he shoots with it. He carries a small sax shaped knife and has many other clever little items his father has taught him how to make and use. He has a pet ottar by the name of Fletch that he spends much of his time with and a small homemade boat that takes him all over his watery "stomping grounds".
