Theodoronus "Theo" messenger

By:
MoonHunter

Faster than the wind, this Red Cap Messenger flies (okay, okay, runs - but you get the idea).

Appearance
Theo is a tall thin young man who looks like he will blow way in the wind. Yet he is as strong as the wind and nearly as fast. His dark curly hair, escaping from under his cap, flies behind him while he runs through the town. His heavy booted feet clomping like a horses hooves. His backpack is almost always full, looking like it will spill contents at any moment.

History/Background
Theo is the best Red Cap in the city. All the really important messeges go to this reliable runner who knows the city streets (and its alleys and rooftops) like the back of his hand. He handles all Governor and GuildMaster messages.

Special Equipment
Some exceptionally fine boots that have been well, well, well worn.

Roleplaying Notes
He is extremely friendly. Everyone Knows him. They wave as he runs by, he waves back.

He is athletic and good looking, so all the young girls sigh as he goes by. He likes to flirt with the ladies (old, young, pretty, plain), but it is all in fun as he is “promised” to someone else.

An old lady is often chasing him out of her “courtyard” as he has vaulted a few walls as a short cut.

He asked to be assigned to this foreign city in a foreign land (He is from Excellius on SecondLand) to keep himself and his lover safe. His love is a young Noble Clanswoman whos father does not approve of their match.

Nine times out of ten, it’s the undead that do the running. Not strictly animal or vegetable, the Corpse bud is a peculiar individual that shares characteristics from multiple kingdoms and species. In appearance, all corpse buds bear a shape of a large rounded top bud divided into four lateral segments, and a much longer, narrower bottom bud, also divided into four segments. Between the two halves are a set of four radial limbs, rounded on top and flat on the bottom, covered with tiny serrated hooks facing towards the body. In overall size, it’s limbs reach as wide as a spread hand, with the body being as thick as a fist. It is as long as a human hand from top to bottom. Internally, the top bud of the corpse bud contains a bacteria filled membrane that produces the hydrogen that the corpse bud uses to stay aloft, and a series of fungal gills for the dispersal of spores for reproduction. The lower half of the bud contains a number of fine filaments, as well as a sharp barbed stinger containing a powerful local anaesthesia. The Corpse Bud mobilizes by inflating its top bud, and steers by rotating its arms rapidly about its body. The corpse bud ordinarily drifts with the wind, orienting towards the scent of recent decay and death. It preys on the recently dead, burrowing the lower bud into the victim, using the anaesthesia in case the victim is dying, and not truly deceased. Once embedded, it releases its filaments into the body, replacing the current nervous system. This gives it full animation of the body, and allows the corpse bud to direct it. Corpse buds are not a malevolent species, being primarily concerned with breaking down the host body for food, and infecting the reproductive cycle with spores in order to mate with other corpse-bud bodies. To preserve the corpse for this purpose, Corpse buds will seek out dry locations to prevent bacteria from destroying the corpses. This often causes a large number of corpse buds to gather in a single location. In culture, Corpse buds are used to repair broken spines or degenerative diseases, as the sentient mind will easily overcome the mind of the non-sentient corpse bud. Once infected by a corpse bud, however, removal is usually fatal, and the infected individual cannot reproduce, or risk infecting another. Thus, it is a technique often reserved for the elderly, or a last resort. Necromancers and other dark sorcerers will often preserve the corpses of their victims magically, and infect them with corpse buds, creating traditional undead as well, so as to seed their lairs with undead both offensive and non, in order to throw their enemies off balance. They will also enslave the rudimentary minds of the corpse buds, and transform the docile things into a plague. There have also been accounts of magically transformed corpse buds with stronger minds and a taste for living flesh, but thus far all accounts are unproven rumors.
