Gimblezook Stumbleduck

Gnome Bard/Fighter from the village of Lindley. He prefers to use roleplaying, disguises, and guile to make his way past obstacles, rather than openly fighting. His most prized possession is a black bowler hat that he always keeps snugly affixed to his head, earning him the name "Mister Blackhat" in some circles.

Character Background:

Gimblezook Stumbleduck was treated differently as a child. Always much smaller and easily overlooked as a gnome, it did not help that he had to hide a deformity atop his head his whole life. While other children would play knights and dragons, he would play by himself, teaching himself to sing and play instruments. He would whisper stories to himself and play tricks on the other villagers. Eventually, he realized that he would never be as tall or as strong as the others, so he decided to own his shortcomings, rather than be discouraged by them.

He grew to have a love for music, learned some lessons in swordcraft with a light little blade as thin as he was, and donned a fine black bowler hat to hide his single little "horn" that he kept tucked beneath a tuft of his hair.

Leaving for a time seeking to make a name for himself, he realized that his life away from the village of Lindley would be just as hard. He was mugged within the first week of leaving and run out of several towns for claiming that the daughter of a prosperous family is more like a prized sow rather than a lady.

He soon learned that while he was away on the road, Lindley had fallen into disrepair and began a mission to fund them with what little money he could muster. How he does this is left to be seen.
