CH. I – Painting a Portrait
Tall for a Connlaothian, Reneth takes after his maternal grandmother, notorious for her height, bearing many of her features.  He has a strong face, a long prominent nose and a small mouth.  He's generally clean shaven, his jaw high and cheekbones slightly widened.  He has finely tanned skin, though largely because of the outdoors and not because he's trying to keep up with any fashionable trend.  His hair is kept short, loose and pushed out of his face.  While not long, parts of it are kept braided and tied around the back of his head, over his ears.  He also has several piercings on his ears, three on his right, and two on his left ear, and another at the end of his left eyebrow.

+ NOTABLE MARKS +
He has a light scar running down his chin, nothing bigger than a knick.

CH II – Mental Make-up
He's a quiet man by nature, and nurture, outwardly soft-spoken unless address and deemed shy by others.  It's not that he's necessarily shy by his own description; he would just say that he prefers to keep to himself, mind his own business.  Meddling in the affairs of others – especially those that seem to be most adverse to it – often is what gets other people in trouble.  Reneth goes out of his way to avoid needless trouble, and is reluctant to interfere even when it is right in front of him. 

Reneth has spent years trying to stay out of trouble, even if it always seems to find him.  He tries to keep his past in the past, where it belongs.  He finds solace in journal writing, in long walks in nature, and working on new alchemical combinations. 

+ FAITH +
He's never been much for religion, or made time for it.  He may have been religious once in his life, perhaps raised such as a child, but he never came to practice it in adulthood.  Perhaps once in a while, he will unconsciously mutter a prayer to Ansgar for protection, or forgiveness.

+ HABITS +
He often samples his own potions and creations before putting them to proper use and memorizes the ingredients in all of his concoctions.  He can tell the difference between related plants, with merely his sense of smell.  He also smokes and drinks on occasion, but very little, and generally never allows himself to get drunk.


CH III – Social

+ RELATIONSHIPS +
  *TBA

CH IV – Abilities / Skills
+ ALCHEMY +
Reneth has what seems to many to be a magical relationship with the art of alchemy.  He can make any sort of concoction needed for a particular occasion, from healing poultices, invigorative serums, sedatives, and even...poisons.  In fact, he has a particular talent for poisons, and can create a poison with special properties to stun a target, paralyze them, make them more susceptible to the poison, even create an elemental effect to poison allowing for fire or ice to disperse from it.

He ingests  small doses of his own creations, to test the effects first, even his poisons, and as such rendered himself immune or largely resistant to most poisons, even the deadliest among them.

CH V – Gear / Equipment
He has very simple tools for which to mix ingredients, though more powerful serums require a more complex alchemy laboratory.  In the wild, he is able to make the most of what he has at his disposal, even without complex equipment, though he generally carries around a small mortar and pestle just in case.

+STILETTO+
Reneth has a small thin, needle-like dagger on his person, often concealed within his clothing, to be used only in the worst case scenario.

CH VI – Reflections of the Past
*TBA
