Mordax et al

Oh! Thanks for the ask Anon. and for your lovely compliment. I am cool ;). Cooler than a certain obnoxious redheaded lunatic at least. 

I had a lot of habits, over the course of my life. I was long lived and spent much of my time out among the wilderness and bandits. One that stuck with me since I left home was drinking. I had a habit of finding the nearest tavern or inn when I hit a new town, swaggering into the bar, and drinking everyone I could under the table. I sang along with the bards, or got into fights when someone insulted me. I liked to dance, showing off the regional dances of the different cities and kingdoms I’d visited and remembered. 

I once beat the tar out of a bard for singing a song the had written about me, making me out to be some dumb, airheaded fool. He never played the song again. (though they probably wrote a song about the incident after 😉 ) 

I had a habit of flirting with waitresses and mercenaries, teasing them playfully over meals in the dim corners of bars. Telling tales of my adventures and accomplishments. 

I had a habit of winding up in more trouble than needed. I had a nose for treasure and spoils, but the greed to match. Often my search for gold and excitement would lead me right smack into a bandit king, or a war between a father and daughter, that I would of course involve myself in for a hefty sum of gold coins. 

I loved to sing. And loved to hear people sing. It was one of the things I remembered from my mother, was her voice. This was probably also part of why I was so dramatic. I had a habit of putting too much flair into my activities. Posing , laughing, flourishing my sword in between a fight, before going in for the kill. 

I also was well read, loving to study scrolls and learn new magic to dazzle my enemies with. I mostly stuck to shamanism, but i eventually began branching out into darker magics. I eventually took up teaching an apprentice, and taught them all I knew. 

And I ADORED puns. Puns and wordplay and jokes at other people’s expense. I would study people to find just the thing to needle them about. And then *strike* with calculated jokes. It was always funny to watch them cringe. 

In short? I was amazing. Hilarious, and had too many bad habits to really count.
