PHYSIOLOGY
Build: Slim
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 126 lbs
Hair: Short, brown, and somewhat curly. He's taken to parting it at the side, though it tends to curl and settle at its own will.
Eyes: His right eye is green and round. His left is an icy blue, Charity's own. The flesh around it carries scars from haphazard knife work.
Physical Features: A young man, his nose ever so slightly crooked. His face is slim and his features are sharper now than when he was a child. His left shoulder is scarred- a faint, icy blue handprint covers it. The faint scars of fang marks are visible around his neck, usually carefully obscured by his shirt collar, and he's gained twin burn/arrow scars on his legs. A deep and ragged scar is visible on his left forearm.
Signature Clothing: A well-kept doublet, worn over a tunic. His boots are cared for, if bloodstained, and he maintains a habit of wearing gloves despite the weather. The tunic is buttoned to hide his neck. A woolen cloak comprised of maroon patches adorns his shoulders, along with a carved pendant, worn under his tunic. His only form of armor would be leather greaves.
Weaponry: Doggett's old hunting knife is kept in a sheath at his side. "Sharp" is tucked into his left boot.
Inventory: Carries his lute in its case and a small coin purse, along with a kit of basic medical supply and a waterskin. He's also acquired surgical tools and rope from Rolland's basement.
Hygiene: He's mindful of his appearance, often carrying the scent of vanilla and cigar smoke.
Seen By Others As: Bard, Returned

QUALITIES AND FLAWS
Personality:
His old habits remain, though his outward temperament has gentled. He makes a point to put on the same show- a flashy one for his performing crowds and a more steadfast one for those who depend on him. He pushes his luck, still, but he's accepted that he has to hold himself in a more steady way, in order to be reliable for those around him.
+Dedicated - Dependent+
Time away has grown a more confident version of the bard. His loyalty remains- but desperation does not.
+Cheerful - Spiteful+
Glenn keeps up appearances, going out of his way to maintain a smile and joke with everyone in earshot. He prides himself in getting folks to loosen up and fancies himself quite the charmer, too. It’s rare for Glenn to hold a grudge or a sour mood for long- at least, that’s how it appears. On the occasion that he feels he can get away with it, he's known to act in spite- often without good reason.
+Driven - Doubtful+
He pursues his craft and wishes aggressively, constantly pushing the limits of what all he can learn. Glenn will stick to his disjointed moral code to his dying breath, and holds his willpower close to his heart. With a past like his, he finds it hard to believe in the things he sees or hears, though the worst of this flaw rarely rears it's ugly head. Reserved for dire moments, perhaps.
Fears:
+Spiders & Insects: Crawling on and under skin, the taste, tiny teeth.
+Failure: It isn’t that he fears messing up- Glenn fears giving up. It’s the only way (in his eyes) that he could ever truly fail.
+Restriction: In every sense of the word, Glenn is terrified of not being able to move, see, and speak.
Intelligence: Educated
He can read, write, and count- but cannot do maths very well.
His writing is moderately acceptable, mostly showcased in his composing.
Character’s soft spot:
+People who trust him
+Those of a nervous character
Values:
+Control: Glenn thrives when he perceives having control over a situation.
+Friends & Family: Glenn couldn’t live without his crew- he dedicates everything to them, and they take care of him. It’s an even exchange, he reckons.
General Sociability:
Glenn enjoys crowds, the same as ever, and holds no struggle with speaking before large masses. Within his personal circle, he's far more open and doting- a very few get to see him at his worst, something he takes great pains to maintain. The smaller the group, the more genuinely relaxed he becomes.
Religion or Cults: N/A
Affiliations: N/A
Alignment: Chaotic Good leaning Neutral
Motivation:
+Skill-seeker: Glenn is only happy when in the pursuit of a craft, be it music, language, or anything else that strikes his fancy. If he finds himself lacking a goal or a purpose, he quickly grows frustrated and restless.
+Fame: He wants his name to be known- it’s the whole reason he’s doing this, after all. Glenn is chasing fame and fortune, mostly to prove a point to a figure in his past. It's beginning to matter less by the day. He's finding it on other paths.
+"Mine Own": It's taking a while, but he's growing to fit the role.

SKILLS
Singing [6/10] - No more voice cracks. He's just glad to be able to sing at all, these days.
Lute [7/10] - He's improved a good deal with brute force and time, and the strings no longer snap under his touch.
With another few nat 20's and time, he's gaining a +6 to rolls on lute playing.
Medicine [6/10] - With a good deal of experience under his belt, he's much better than nothing in a pinch. Daeron has taken him on as a student, and he's got enough stupid friends to make practice readily available.
Climbing - Athletics [7/10] - At Rolland's request, he's begun practicing in earnest. There's plenty of changes to practice, and any time he can spare is spent here.
Light and quick, that's the trick.
