OOC:
Fair warning. Gene own Zero permanent memory. It is less than great feature. So I actually don't remember this thread.____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Personality: I place no stock in wealthy or well-mannered folk. Money and manners won't save you from a hungry owlbear.
Ideal: (Change: Chaotic) Life is like the seasons, in constant change, and we must change with it.
Bond: I do what I agree to always.
Flaw: I am slow to trust members of other races, tribes, and societies.

Shump is generally loner and one watches himself first, but his word/honor is his life. This gives him not fully chaotic outlook or a fully lawful one. He doesn't take life if it can be avoided. He isn't big on redemption. He tends to keep with druids about the balance of nature. He doesn't like things that change as you can't trust them. Such creatures should never be.
He follows Dukagsh (Male) God of Explorers, Guides, and Travelers. He is a fairly devout follower. Shump is from the darkest spot of the forest. A place most would not go. He comes to the city to see his sister and work. It is not his preferred place to be.
Shump has some musical talent that he keeps mostly to himself. He can play a lute well. He lost his previous one and hasn't felt the want to get a new one. Like loosing a loved one and will not start a new relationship. His only real cares have been for his sister. Most people see Shump as a big lout and a guide at best. Although he isn't smart, but he is rather intuitive.
He is a guide now days to keep coins in his pocket. He has been a bounty hunter before but has given it up. He found it too restrictive and not enough business. Still knows a few people from that.
He is from Southbridge Village originally. Can be found there on in neighboring forest areas. Sometimes seen a the local Inn/Tavern ran by Mamz.("Yes Mam", "No Mam") He is known as a fine guide.
He has always looked after his kid sister, Morky in town. Their parents are dead. His family left the tribe to live in the city, but with their death, it has left matters in Shump's hands as he the oldest and only male.
Morky, Shump kid sister is known to be rather feisty. After getting tired of Shump baby sitting, her she joined the city guard to prove she is of worth.
I have worked with Paladin Shahadur. Generally for any local bounties and this being this region is soooo far from anywhere else other bounties would be pretty much non-existent and why Shump stopped doing it. Started being a guide.

What more should I develop for Shump?

Change as in season and such around him is fine.. but people who aren't real.. that bothers him... He cant' stand face changers.. they just aren't real.

Also if you want to add more color to the character you can go through all the suggestions made for all the backgrounds and adapt any that sound different but also sound like something that matches what you think about the character -- with the new Inspiration guidelines have more of these can be handy

New shump background:
Shump is huge and intimidating. He has a powerful looking build. He is used to living in darkest places of the forest in a cave. He comes out to see his sister and for work now only. He is never comfortable around a lot of people. He much prefers the forest. He isn't very social able. It takes him an effort to trust someone. He does however give his trust easier to Yroc's.
Most people see Shump as a big lout and a guide at best. Although he isn't smart, but he is rather intuitive. He tends to make rather poor first impressions and probably second ones too. He is a hard one to get into and understand.
Having lived off the land and such, Shump has druidish ideals about nature and tends not to want to see it destroyed. He takes only what he needs to survive from it. He is pecky when hunts for food. He has learned a lot about the plants and animals about him.

Shump used to have a lute that played. One night he broke over and intruder and hasn't had the heart to get a new one. He isn't learned in the ways of music, but is rather inspirational about it. Unlike most things he seems to pick music easily.
Having lived with not very much in belongings. Shump really doesn't put a lot of stock in having lots of money and things. He very practical. Simplest of thing can be seen as treats to him where they are just odd mundane items to others. Shump is very simple minded and not that sharp.
He likes people to be what they are and has a hatred of face changers. He sees you, he wants to know it is really you. He has a natural distrust of actors too. He thinks lesser of them.
He is very keen on hunting down humans and face changers. He has done many in his past as a bounty hunter. He has taken up being a guide now. He is still friends with Paladin Shahadur.
He follows Dukagsh (Male) God of Explorers, Guides, and Travelers. He is a fairly devout follower. He always prays before he travels for good luck. He isn't one to be seen in a temple.
Everything around Shump seems to change and he has learned to change with it. He almost expects things to change now. It even gets to him just staying in his cave. He craves adventure.
