Appearance:

Hallywell is short and stocky. He wears a thick beard that flows half way down his chest, and is covered from head to toe in calluses, burns and even scars. He wears a simple brown tunic, and a leather pouch that carries his hammer and bookbinding supplies. He has a very gruff, but fatherly demeanor that gains respect from others.

Interaction:

Hallywell will treat players as they treat him. He refuses to talk to anyone that is rude, untruthful, or generally uncivil. If players treat him like a fatherly figure who makes stupid jokes, he will refer to them as "My boy/girl." If they treat him the same way he treated them when they were young, he will become angry and tell them to act like adults. He is only fair with the PCs, but will help them if they ask politely. If they press him, he will tell them to get lost and never come back until they start acting like adults.

Background:

Hallywell grew up as an orphan and was raised by his older brother, a bookbinder. The two were very close, and Hallywell learned a lot from his brother. After his brother died, Hallywell decided to carry on his brother's legacy and began his own bookbinding business on the outskirts of town. His reputation for his craftsmanship is well known, but his abrasive personality keeps him from getting any kind of steady business. He has only been able to make a small living from his shop, but has plans to expand in the future. He is working on a large order for a noble family and hopes to complete it soon.

Combat / Skills:

Hallywell is a skilled craftsman and can produce high quality bindings. He's able to craft a variety of types of bindings, but favors simple leather bindings with some decorative trim. He is an average fighter and a mediocre healer. He can cure the effects of poison on either himself or others, though he is reluctant to do so.
