<strong>Taskill the Ghillie Dhu</strong><br/><br/>Name(s): Taskill<br/><br/>Race: Ghillie Dhu (perhaps the only one)<br/><br/>Age: Unknown, predates Christianity. (Appears to be between 25 and 30.)<br/><br/>Place of Origin: Scotland<br/><br/>Gender: Male<br/><br/>Sexuality: Pansexual. Does not discriminate between the genders. Tends to be quite insatiable, although very tender and passionate. On the more submissive end of the spectrum. Also poly-amorous with a penchant for falling in love with multiple people. Has caused him some trouble.<br/><br/>Special Abilities: Power over plants, much like a dryad. Ability to blend in with forest-life and seemingly disappear. Retains conversations word-for-word over vast amounts of time and can change his voice to imitate anyone. Skilled musician, with the ability to seduce through song and music. An understanding of animals. His claw-like nails appear to have some poison in them, though they are not lethal.<br/><br/>Physical Description/other: Wiry, thin but strong. He has dark hair and dark eyes. In fact, "Ghillie Dhu" is thought to mean "dark haired lad." His skin is pale. Most distinctly he has long, frightening claw-like nails. His irises shrink and enlarge depending on mood and can be intimidating to new onlookers. But his physique is sensual and somewhat androgynous. He prefers his only clothes (made of leaves and forest material) and otherwise prefers to be naked. He is well-endowed, something he seems to be (oddly) ashamed of. He has a deep raspy voice which seems to not fit his body.<br/><br/>Personality: Taskill comes off as very vague and aloof to those who know him a short while. He even gives off a menacing presence at first. He can be both shy and wild. The shyness is easily mistaken for antisocial tendencies but in fact he guards himself from new people with a front. His wild side is distinctly "mad" and drives him to do strange things (like nail furniture to the wall) and speak in riddles. At his core he is merely a free-spirit and very protective to those he loves. Though he can be shifty and his emotions will change from one day (and sometimes one minute) to the next, his love and compassion are pure. Watch out for a cowardly streak. He will speak his mind and act militant but when brought to a fight there is a good chance he will fold and refuse to actually fight. Due to his age he is, in fact, quite wise despite his clumsy, spastic nature.<br/><br/>Brief History: For an unknown span of time he lived in the forests of Scotland. He no longer remembers his parents or his original name. But he protected human children from the more malevolent spirits of the wild and befriended young mortals. He could boast that he had seduced countless maidens and youths into the forest to make love to them. Only recently was his peaceful existence interrupted by being captured by Byrn the Wizard. More of a lover than a fighter, Taskill was one of Byrn's first successful captures. He has lived in the castle since then and as of recently begins to lose his mind, needing to return to the wild and missing his home.
