Doruine Notise
|
-- Quintos Baritan, Head of the Thieves Guild
A former Jester turned Informant of Noble rank from the world of Umbrallah, Doruine is equal parts helpful and mischievous. Always up to trade words for words, Doruine is a man of many secrets and for the right price, all of them are for sale. Secretly though, he hides a prideful side for his home and his world, and one would do well to never underestimate his ability to hold grudges.
Table of ContentsBackstoryThe son of a blacksmithing family, Doruine grew up a curious boy. Often asking questions of adventurers and others who would visit his fathers shop and getting to see his fair share of rare weaponry. Though not interested in a life outside of the city, he was a natural at talking to people.
Eventually, as he began to grow older and assist his father at the forge, he would add his own bit of flair to the proceedings, often drawing a crowd as he'd juggle and throw finished products to test and demonstrate the quality of their work.
Eventually, one of these performances caught the eye of a local noble, Henrietta Volundstruck. With a bit of convincing, and after seeing the quality of their work, along with the recommendations of her guard, the Notise family joined the Noble House of Volundstruck as their personal Blacksmiths, and Doru was given the role of personal Jester to the Elder Noblewoman, becoming sort of a son to her.
As such, when the Volundstruck family found themselves in the midst of a terrible scandal, involving Lord Rapheal Volundstruck, it was using his skills at disarming people and position as a fool that allowed Doruine to clear his Patrons name. Now a widow, Doruine offered to continue to act in this duel role for his Lady, an arrangement she accepted as, with the blessing of his birth family, was brought into House Volundstruck as a full member, acting as the Right Hand of Lady Volundstruck. |

Personality
At his heart, Doruine is someone that seeks to make people laugh and forget their troubles. However, his time digging through the muck and mire of nobility and politics have hardened, making him a bit cynical to the untrained. Still, he strives to aid those, especially the elderly and those who can't help themselves even if just a bit.
Wordplay, juggling, and mischief are his weapons of choice when entertaining and gathering information, and he enjoys performing for the young and elderly especially. He takes great pride in his acts, but isn't afraid to have a laugh at himself and is always on the lookout for new gimmicks and contraptions to add to his routines.

Abilities
✦ Sleight of Hand Expert

Because of his status, Doruine is allowed to access Tier 2 Magic on his world. This extends to things such as personal barrier magic and utility magic, including creating small flames, chilling things he can touch, etc.
✦ Subterfuge
Befitting his occupation, Doruine is skilled at the art of lying and half-truthes, as well as figuring out information from others without them realizing. He uses this often in both his field work and as a performer.
✦ Swordplay
A skilled swordsman, since taking on the role of Informant for his Lady. His Patron has spared no expense to make sure that Doruine can protect himself. He prefers curved blades, as well as small arms that he can conceal or throw.
Skills & Stats
Weapons
Daggers: Doruine keeps a seemingly endless supply of daggers on his person. Typically as a part of any act he may be working on, they're also useful for when situations call for more direct means of actions.
Scimitar: A gift from his patron, it is emblazoned on the sheath and blade with the crest of the Volundstruck, and as such is a prize possession to him and an expertly crafted blade; his families of course.
Crossbow: Attached to his gauntlets, he's not the best shot, but he has it for utility and ranged purposes.
