My Self-Summary

First Druid and (now former) Chancellor of the Springtide Clan. My rank seems to be a joke upon my Jack-of-all-Trades nature. If you have a skill you're interested in, it is likely I have dabbled in it, if not mastered it. And if not, I can always learn. Don't let my age deceive you, I'm still a quick study. Interested in playing the game, but in no rush. I've not fallen through worlds before, I plan to enjoy my time before Myddvai calls me back.

    My Future Plans

Why, it's no fun to share those, is it?

    My Talents

Reading, writing, painting, string instruments, hunting, tracking, trapping, fielding game, butchery, cooking, swordplay, archery, navigation, battle tactics, economics, mathematics, bookkeeping, lawmaking, diplomacy, leadership, teaching, academic study, alchemy, experimentation, fitness, medical expertise.

Various magical disciplines. I specialize in studies and of the soul.

  My Ideal Partner

Why, my wife, but she's unfortunately no longer with us.

Sherwood's Suite is located on the Ace & Jack level floor. He has no door, having removed it entirely. His room is always open to visitors, regardless of his being around or not. The space is mostly a large, single space with all his amenities. The only separated out room is his private bathroom, which he keeps locked.

Of note, he has a wood burning hearth with various, rudimentary cooking supplies. There are multiple, large desks with various scrolls, journals, and books strewn about. Bookshelves and storage cabinets line many of the walls. Painted artwork, tapestries, and drawings are also haphazardly about the space. He has a low, wide, and plush bed cot tucked in a far back corner. It had a curtain which can be pulled around to give some privacy, but he won't be found sleeping in it.

Comments

[rebrandedwarlock]

[Sherwood fiddles with little gestures quite often, especially as he talks. Just kind of a fidgety guy. He takes his glasses off to smooth them clean with a rag from the table, casually sharing,]

You may end up preferring it, as I hear the cheaper food offerings are often spiked by heavy aphrodisiacs.

[perfectdistance]

... Somehow I ain't all that surprised.

[This place wants 1 thing and 1 thing only.]

[rebrandedwarlock]

No, no, I would not be either. The priorities of this place are abundantly clear, if somehow still mysterious. To know what they want and yet not know the why is a great curiosity. [he rubs his nose a bit, leaving his glasses to rest on the table a moment, readjusting his eyes with a few heavy blinks,]

Do you believe this place is powered by the energy of intimate encounters? I can't think of why else they would be so persistent and focused on this one element, otherwise.

[perfectdistance]

I just got here, so it's not like I can really look into it.

[Stirring the pot. Humming.]

Guess it would make the most sense? I dunno how they'd harvest it though.

[And frankly Nero's never been a particularly cerebral sort. Ask him to break in to a place, don't ask him why or how it works.]

Didn't feel weird after... [Mumbling to himself.]

[rebrandedwarlock]

After-? Ha, after exchanging cards? No, I haven't noticed anything odd in that, either. Harvesting, let alone harnessing, that peculiar energy would certainly be a marvel and an accomplishment. I wonder if these shackles have much to with how the could do that...

["shackles" he says, lifting his watch. Watch is a strange term, one he definitely doesn't like. A man who likes attention, but the idea of ever present surveillance is not comforting... Sherwood does just believe that is what it's named after, "being watched"]

[perfectdistance]

[Don't people usually have to be dead to get the energy from them? Then again, Nero doesn't know what happens when people die here and is extremely reluctant to find out.

He doesn't know where "watch" came from.]

These things? It's not like they come off.

[Which is something he doesn't understand either. What are these for? Trackers? But they can't leave this place either, so what's the truth?]

[rebrandedwarlock]

Indeed, I haven't found a way to remove mine, yet.

[Yet. Because of course that is a goal and something to experiment with.]

I do wonder if I turned very small if it would follow along with a shapeshift. Something to try when it would not be indecent to attempt.

[because he doesn't have his druid clothes and being a little naked mantis isn't for polite company]

[perfectdistance]

What do you mean shapeshift?

[ He's seen wizards become cats and whatever else they feel like, but maybe he doesn't mean it in the same way? ]

[rebrandedwarlock]

That is one of the abilities we Druids have. I can transform in an animal which best represents the shape of my soul. In my case, a mantis. Other druids have a variety of forms, depending on their personalities.

[perfectdistance]

Huh... That's the first time I've heard about it working that way.

[rebrandedwarlock]

How are you used to it working?

[Yeah, Sherwood has clocked that Nero is Not Just Some Guy looking to cook and keep his head down. Though he's only got a bit of his soul tap into the other man, it's clear to Sherwood he has some real power in him. How much? He has no clue, but it is not normal guy levels, that's certain]

[perfectdistance]

Wizards can transform into whatever they want.

[ If they're actually good at transformation magic, and not Nero who sucks at it.

Nero's a middle aged-ish wizard, so he's... Fairly strong? even if he'd like to pretend he's Just A Guy. ]

[rebrandedwarlock]

My! What unbridled freedom. Do you practice such a discipline yourself?

[Sherwood is good at his transformation, but fussy about it. Anybody who turned into an insect among the druids and didn't have control over it would simply lose their mind forever. A terrible fate, one Sherwood isn't keen to see himself befall.]

[perfectdistance]

Uh... No.

[ Transformation is more the area of the Westerners and honestly Nero doesn't have much use for it in his day to day.

What would he even want to be? He barely knows who he is as a person. ]

[rebrandedwarlock]

[Yeah, Nero wouldn't make it as a druid. Good for him. It's not a pleasant thing to be.]

A shame, then you really could be a cat slinking through my threshold.

[perfectdistance]

Are you really into cats...?

[rebrandedwarlock]

I do like cats! Cannot say they like me. The human inner fire that gave me a connection to animals was snuffed out when I became a Druid. [a wistful sigh, like this is just something fondly remembered about times gone by]

Such a shame, but power always comes with a price.

[perfectdistance]

You weren't always a druid?

[Different. When humans try to be wizards that kind of thing usually doesn't go well. It's also impossible.

He leaves the soup to simmer.]

[rebrandedwarlock]

No, no, humans have a very passive magic and I was not satisfied with that. I developed the technique to attach oneself to the World Tree directly, the sacrifice being one's natural born Blessing of Fire. A small price, in my mind, given how many new and more active disciplines of magic opened up to me.

[He just looooves talking about magic, especially the kinds he developed. A proud man of many accomplishments... mostly bad, but undeniably impressive for him to have invented through study and testing.]

That was some... oh, more than forty years ago, now. That's quite a while, on a human time scale.

[perfectdistance]

Humans have magic?

[That's a new one, but there's a lot of different worlds... Damn. What would that be like?]

What's up with you now?

[rebrandedwarlock]

Yes, all humans are born with an inner warmth. Think of it as a charm that makes us more appealing to animals and other breeds of people.

[Sherwood laughs lightly, saying with no shortage of confident ego,]

My personality was always charming enough I didn't need such a blessing. Rather redundant for a man such as myself. Now, I have many different abilities, largely stemming from a utilization of soul energy.

[perfectdistance]

[ His expression immediately says "doubt", but if he was better at hiding his expressions then it would've stayed blank. ]

Huh. That's all new to me.

[ Sounds like the kind of stuff a mad scientist type would get up to. For better and worse. ]

[rebrandedwarlock]

[Definitely for worse!]

My, how does magic function in your world? From those who have fallen into Myddvai from realms far removed, I've heard there is a great variety in how it can function. Some worlds lack for any magic at all, which I find most incredible.

[perfectdistance]

Some people are born with magic, but not everybody. It's pretty rare. A lot of people think of... Magic users as suspicious and dangerous.

[ Sometimes they're outlawed from some cities all together. Though it's pretty easy to pretend to be a normal human. ]

[rebrandedwarlock]

I can see why! Magic is quite the dangerous, miraculous thing. When all have it, then there is much less inequity. Give it to only a chosen few and I'd suspect those few would abuse their powers over those without.

[said as a man with no ethics, who would and has done exactly that abuse of power]
