Bom Tombadil

etpZVg3.png

 

Physical Description: 

He is too tall for a halfling, yet to small for a man, and thick and sturdy are his hands. His coat is blue, his boots are yellow, his hat is brown with a big bright feather. He wears a belt buckle of golden brass, and has a beard long and thick as grass.

 

Mannerisms:

He hunches over with a cane like he is old, yet talks fast and proud like he is young. He often breaks out into a sing-song sort of speach in the middle of a conversation, which others find quite annoying and childish, and he is rarely on time for anything at all, always preferring to be at least a few hours late. 

 

He has few acquaintances, and even fewer friends, and it is rare to see him emerge from his little hide-y hole in Old Dunshire Forest. He keeps to himself most of the time, reading any books he can get his hands on, and spends most of his time outside his home watering and caring for local plants and fungi.

 

Other than that, there is little of interest about this character.

 

Equipment:

Bom Tombadil rarely carries anything threatening. The only weapons he ever carries are basic gardening tools that he uses to defend himself if threatened. As for other items, Bom usually has a few random oddities in his pockets, be it grass, hay, dandelions, the book he had been reading, and other random objects of Bom Tombadil's daily life or the Forest.

 

Strenghts:

Bom Tombadil is known to be somewhat wise. While he is no Wise-Old-Man-Sitting-On-Top-Of-Mountain-For-Adventurers-To-Contact-For-Help sort of person, locals have been known to seek him out for help on personal problems.

Also, Bom Tombadil is at least somewhat bright, and appears to have had at least a little bit of education (which is odd, since it seems like he's lived in the woods all his life).

Finally, Bom Tombadil has all the Dexterity that is expected of shorter folks like halflings.

 

Weaknesses:

Bom Tombadil is physically weak, weaker than most halflings even. It is said that he has lost wrestling matches against squirrels and rabbits.

Also, Bom Tombadil lacks social connections. Only a few people know he exists, and he is intent to keep it that way. Due to this lack of social connections, it would be hard for Bom Tombadil to gain any sort of political influence.

Finally, Bom Tombadil is rather pacifist. He doesn't believe in violence, and tries to run all the way to his home in Old Dunshire Forest whenever the slightest threat is sent at him. He only ever fights if cornered.
