Personality

What you see is what you get. Colm is straightforward and blunt, to the point of getting himself in trouble where a smidge of diplomacy would have been able to sidestep the beartrap. Al though most people actually dislike Colm for this personality feature, there are also those who appreciate the face-value approach of Colm. When dealing with him, there's no need to worry about hidden meanings, the fine print or if he really feels the way he acts or talks. There has yet to occur a situation where he was cornered enough to do away with his true self and put on a charade for the sake of...Al though sometimes his lack of tact can get quite awkward, especially in touchy situations or when the conversation touches on sensitive bits and pieces.

Colm feels that there is rarely a reason to protect someone, no matter age or situation they're in, for the truth. What actual benefice can a lie give anyway, other than -temporarily- blinding someone, or oneself, from pain or trouble. Neither of those will outright kill someone, and while it may not always be easy to see, it's for their own good to endure it and with the help of putting a positive effort on a negative situation, it might even help them in the mid to long run. The easy way is not always the best way!

Another one of Colm's aspects is the lack of desire to make himself feel superior or dominant over others, he rarely takes things ovely serious unless the situation actually is that way. He's also often in for a good laugh, even at his own expense, al though rarely without some sort of retort fired back. Due to his nature, and other's, he often finds himself in the middle of a fistfight. Even though he won't always win them, he'll never hold a grudge or resort to killing someone.

Lastly, he is currently officially unemployed al though he does do the odd job, here and there, but only if the job itself is up his alley. He has principles and morals after all, neither of them to be bent or broken for the sake of coin, or anything for that matter.

History

His parents did their best to raise him into a fine man who can walk with his chin up high and a straight spine.
Al though eventually he did become a good lad, it was a hardwon battle before he settled in and got his act right.
During his childhood he constantly went looking for trouble through drinking his body weight, getting in fights,
mixing with the wrong crowd and abusing every substance he could get his hands on. He never really got over this fact, but it took the passing of his parents before he finally made the click and shed his wild hairs.

Nowadays he still makes mistakes, still drinks, still uses, still fights, but all within moderation. Not to mention he became a man that holds his chin up high and owns a spine and soul that won't bend for any. It might sound like an easy feat to do, living true to one's self...But in Scalvoris it isn't. Usually you play the game by the rules of someone else, or you are benched for the rest of the game, six feet deep. Try living your own way, without walking on eggshells, in a savage dog-eat-dog world where even a wrong thing said can cause the end of you and your loved ones.

So far, so good though. Living day by day, he's still around and with relatively few scars to boot!

Housing

Housing in Scalvoris - Almund. A 400 square foot wooden house, made of the remains of an old ship, split into living space, one bedroom, kitchen / dining area and bathroom.

Intervention!

Welcome to Standing Trials, Colm! I enjoyed reading through your CS and think your character will make a very interesting addition to Scalvoris and the site as a whole. Nice work!

Before we can move you into the Approved User group, I have a few small fixes I'm hoping you can make.
1. Please include a written description of Colm’s appearance. The picture is definitely helpful, but your writing partners will need additional information – for example, height, weight, standard dress, any prominent scars, etc.

2. Please mark your starter pack knowledges with an “(SP)” so future reviewers know how they were obtained.

3. I would encourage you to be more specific with your Interrogation skill. What do you mean by “hearing the inaudible”? Perhaps something like, “Interrogation: What isn’t said can be just as important as what is said”.

4. Please make a note in your CS that your home in Scalvoris includes the following - or at least the ones you've chosen to keep: “Houses include one bed, two chairs, one table, two knives, a set of six plates (assorted), one chest, and a fireplace."

5. Since city dwellers may elect to have a house pet, you may indicate that your pug is from the City Dweller Starter Pack and select an additional Prized Possession. A prized possession can be any one item worth 30gn or less excluding any sort of artifact (arcane). Prized possessions must also be named and be precious to the character and/or related to their storyline.

6. Please update your fame so it’s broken down as follows: +10 Starting Race Fame, +10 Starting City Fame

7. This is a friendly reminder to update your thread list!
Once you've made these changes, shoot me a quick PM and I'll remove this intervention & send you your CS Rewards!

Cheers,
Ru
