Tinker Willis
Another Brother"And they say *I'M* crazy!?!"
| Race: | Raccoonari (He's really just an elf...) |
| Occupation: | Leader of the Red Crescent Moon |
| Height: | 5'6" |
Tinker was originally a Raccoon Scavenger when I first met him in Baddira. He has now become what he calls a Raccoonari, a race of Raccoons in elven bodies and mysterious powers. The great dragon, Arcost, came to him a few years ago saying that the Raccoons were his chosen people and that he had need of Tinkers help. Arcost told him that those who were actively seeking to destroy all that he worked for would come after him and so he would help him in return by granting him the power to fight them off. He did this by giving him a new body. Arcost's enemies would be looking for a Raccoon, not an elf, and so with his new abilities, Tinker could now stay one step ahead of them.
Favorites:
- Tinker likes a good backpacker. You know, someone who isn't afraid to boat him and heal him. Of course this might just be because he needs it so much.
- He likes cuddling up in warm hidey holes. Have you ever been in a hidey hole? Well Tinker had the first one I ever saw and it was magnificent. It was this little den out in the woods of Baddira. He built it to stay in at night, but he let me check it out once and wow...this was NOT your ordinary hole in the ground. He had water slides, comfy beds, and even a place that delivered Whatabears right to you so you didn't have to go get them yourself when you were hungry. He also built one in Drakemyre. It's this cave that you can only get to by going through underwater passages. It's really neat too and there's a waterfall nearby and even a lake to swim in. He has the coolest hidey holes. I tried to build one once, but I've never quite gotten the hang of it.
Things he doesn't like:
- Once he fought this big battle and when he went back to get his treasure, it was gone. I don't know about you, but I really hate that. And if you've never seen a Raccoonari mad....
- Tinker is all about saving people. He actually really enjoys it. The whole helping those less fortunate thing. He doesn't like going back into the same overwhelming mess that got them killed in the first place though, just so he can save them again. At that point, he said, it's no longer defending the weak, it's natural selection.
- Along with saving stupid people, he also hates running into battle just to take a Death spell aquare in the chest before he can even lift his sword. To make it even worse, sometimes he gets lifed only to stand up and have it happen again. this is clearly a pet peeve.
