==========================================

Description: A grey haired old man with a friendly smile and welcoming manner. Still in good health, but weakening and slowing due to age and decreased physical activity. He wears the garb of a scribe.



Questions:
1. Where Are You From?
Hodge is from the local area, but grew up in the remote confines of his master's tower. He always has looked forward to journey's into town for supplies, and stops at roadside inns for an ale.

1a How will your ethnic origin be clear through roleplay? Accent? Mannerisms? Dress?
Hodge is an educated man. Not only in the arcane arts but also history and lore. As he travels he tends to lend his reading and writing ability for small fees and carries correspondence if any need taking in the direction of his travel.

2. What Is Your Family Like? How has your family background shaped your personality and prejudices?
Hodge is spends his days primarily as an itinerant scribe: learning and studying as the situation permits, lending magical aid when he can (though he likes to keep that part low-key).

3. What Is Your Social Class? Do you look down on the lower class? Resent the upper class? Strive for upward class mobility? Ignore class divisions altogether?
Hodge is of a working class background, but is able to make the occasional large sum of money by selling an item with continual light. He does not look down upon the common folk, and does what he can to guide the gentry to look after their charges.

4. What Did You Do Before You Became An Adventurer? How will your profession manifest itself through roleplay? Are you still working in your last career? If so, how do you combine it with adventuring?
Up until a decade ago Hodge was a servant for his master, Ulrich: a wizard of some power. Hodge spent the majority of time scribing for Ulrich, and conducting other tasks as the old wizard demanded. Ulrich disappeared under strange circumstances and is presumed dead. Since that time, Hodge has locked the old tower and typically only returns for the winter months. He is scribe for hire, but will join groups of decent folk who could use a little extra encouragemnt (and fire power) to succeed in difficult tasks.

5. Why Did You Become An Adventurer? What can the GM dangle in front of you to motivate you?
This land is dangerous, but has the potential to be great. Tolkien wrote: “I do not love the bright sword for it's sharpness, nor the arrow for it's swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend." As long as their are miscreants needing a good walloping, Hodge will be around. He is aware of his physical limitations and age, so he is more than willing to work through/with others.

6. How Religious Are You? How will your religious values influence your behaviour? How often do you pray? Do you favour one god? Do you go to temples and attend services there?
Hodge worships the deities of law and good, but is not a regular church goer. His worship is by trying to reflect their example with his actions.

7. Who Are Your Best Friends and Worst Enemies? How would you react if confronted by your worst enemy? Flee? Fly into a murderous rage? How much would you sacrifice for your best friend? Your life? Nothing?
Hodge is easy to get on with, and enjoys even the most annoying of good hearted people. He disapproves of those that are cruel for the sake of cruelty.

8. What Are Your Prized Possessions? How would you react to the loss or destruction of these items? How far would you go to retrieve them or avenge you to who destroyed them?
Hodge's items are easily replaceable, though he recognizes how vulnerable he would be if his book were taken or destroyed. Vengeance would be out of character for him, though he would not stand by idly and let mayhem be spread.
