The Long Journey

Notes--- INSERT INFO HERE

Status---A Rifter who arrived back in Wintersmarch. A colourful and rather eccentric merchant of medicines, incense and marital aids miscellaneous memorabilia who tends to hang about selling his wares.

Displays considerable aptitude with wards that are highly effective against spiritual entities.

Reputation---An eccentric individual with a creepy cadence - however - his remedies have a reputation for being effective and his prices fair. His pointed ears, facial markings, and unusual style of dress has left the more ignorant under the impression he's just Dalish and not a Rifter. Given that the Dalish have a marginally better reputation among the general public than people assumed to be demons, he hasn't bothered to correct these mistakes when they crop up.

He has a habit of asking quite a lot of questions, particularly about matters related to spirits, demons and abominations. He's also been rather persistent in asking about Darkspawn, Grey Wardens and all the trappings thereof.

As of the move to Kirkwall, he's shown to be more than a simple merchant with a morbid fascination. The Medicine Seller has displayed some magical capabilities, though they seem limited to casting powerful wards with strange paper talismans.

He’s a medicine seller and almost all of his stock is (probably) legal and not several decades past its expiration date.

He takes noticeable interest in local demon/spirit lore or just any inane gossip. He's kind of low-key nosy.

He seems keen to investigate supernatural happenings, and though he's used to going it alone, he's not one to shirk help in a strange new world. Ghost hunting adventures anyone?

Need an exorcism that can potentially be survived? He's your guy.

Do you find your sword isn't doing much swinging? Longing for the glory days of your youth? Should I put more euphemisms or just get to the point? The Medicine Seller has what you need to sew your wild oats again! Warning: If effects last for more than four hours, consult an actual physician and not some dodgy drug peddler who dresses with less subtlety an Orlesian courtesan.

BACKTAGGING: ✓
THREADHOPPING: ✓
FOURTHWALLING: ✗ (except in memes)
OFFENSIVE TOPICS: I'm fine with most things. If something gets a little too intense, I'll drop a PM.
OPT OUT:
On the flip side of things, Mononoke is a horror series that deals with some heavy subject matter including (but not limited to) kidnapping, rape, murder, prostitution, forced abortion, incest, domestic abuse, misogyny and other nasty things.

While the series actually deals with these things with something resembling restraint, they are still prominent themes within the show. While it would be unlikely for the Medicine Seller to vocally reference these events, he may do so in his internal monologue. If anything here is a major "no" for you, feel free to either message me privately or leave a comment here so it doesn't come up (or just opt out altogether!).

PHYSICAL CONTACT: ✓
MENTAL CONTACT: ✓+
If your character is spiritually/magically/psychically sensitive, this is fine with some caveats. I prefer to maintain what the Medicine Seller exactly is as ambiguous, but characters are free to pick up on a few things like the fact he's pretty old, pretty powerful, and not a malevolent force despite his stand-offish nature. Reading surface thoughts/feelings is A+. For anything deeper, just let me know and I'll give you a good idea of what's going on in that noggin of his.
FIGHTING/INJURY: ✓
KIDNAPPING: ✓
DEATH: ✗
FLIRTING: ✓
ROMANCE: ✓+
He's chronically undateable but you can try.

ABILITIES: The Medicine Seller is sensitive to spirit shit and a pretty powerful exorcist. If you want him to pick up on anything of that nature (or on the flipside, not pick up on something) let me know!
SHIPPING PREFERENCES: Anything goes - like he does not give a fuck about appearance or gender/gender roles (outside the context of medicine stuff). He's really, really slow to catch feelings though because Reasons.
KINKS: idk I haven't thought about it. Will update this when I have. All I know is that the Med Seller has never bottomed in his life and he's not about to start now.
