MORTIMER

IN SHORT

Often sick as a kit, Mortimer grew up to become a small and scrawny loner.

PERSONALITY

  • ​self-taught in herbalism, pretty good at it, has a huge collection of coool plants that he uses to manage his conditions, knows his plants well

  • kinda hypochondriac, always looking out for new symptoms and proceeding to do whatever it takes to get rid of the pain (or .. imaginary pain)

  • sells his potions too for a good price / trades etc

    • your kid is dyign ? youve got no money ? well thats too bad

    • hes not like... evil... he just thinks that in a tough world you gotta look out for yourself and no one else to survive

  • believes in all sorts of folklore and magic, always carrying some sort of amulets, collects interesting trinkets

  • like.. unbelievably good at fishing, he learnt the trade from his fishermen dads at a young age

  • pretty cold and unempathetic, always looking out for himself, selfish, doesnt really trust ppl (has a history of Lots Of Bad decisions regarding trusting others, was a gullible kid and tried&failed multiple times to cure himself of various illnesses via sketchy methods)

    • very realistic these days, almost pessimistic at times, always prefers to be safe than sorry, careful with his actions & words and rarely does anything that would possibly get him hurt

    • prefers being alone except when he can gain something from being with someone - can be manipulative if he wants to but usually hes totally uninterested in others and wont do harm to anyone unless they, in his opinion, deserve it

    • very fast at cutting ties with anyone if they do something he doesnt like, hates getting attached and afraid of commitment 

    • VERY ambitious and patient when doing his herbalism work, otherwise kind of a loser .. prefers to just give up if something doesnt go the way he wants it to (like relationships etc), but when creating potions he will absolutely never stop trying

  • always planning and scheming in his head, very unpredictable, doesnt like sharing his plans with others

 

  • likes travelling and moving often, doestn want to settle down anywhere and whenever he gets a Bad Vibe from a place he just leaves

    • travels a lot searching for new plants too, will do absolutely anything to get his hands on the stuff that he wants / needs

    • wont use physical violence bc hes too sickly and hed get his ass kicked every time, but hes good at manipulating, talking ppl into stuff and making interesting trades...

HISTORY

  • born in a little small seaside village, fishermen parents, many siblings

  • got very very sick as a child, ever since he's been constantly more or less ill

    • has especially problems with his lungs, cant run very much etc

    • small in size & scrawny

    • has been obsessed with his health ever since he was a kit

      • everyone was always.. making fun of him for not being able to do stuff, having a funny cough etc and that made him really sad and he just wanted to fit in

  • when he was a young adult a weird plague hit his village and basically everyone got sick, mortimer was already pretty knowledgable in medicine so he managed (?? somehow) to avoid getting infected, but most of the village perished including his family

    • tried to help his dads but they were the firsts to get sick so they died pretty fast

    • didnt really mourn his siblings though, they were a pretty mean bunch always making fun of the runt of the litter

    • became pretty cynical and pessimistic after the incident, got finally the courage to leave his home town and go see the world

RELATIONSHIPS

INDIRA - ally / friend

Mortimer practically saved Indira's life, and as a thank-you she helped him to gather some rarer ingredients for his potions. Turns out these two work well together, and Indira decided to travel with Mortimer for now.

Mortimer refuses to admit that that he actually considers Indira a friend, and keeps telling himself that the only reason he tolerates her is because she's a good ally and a good travel companion. The two are constantly bickering and Mortimer still feels like he can't completely trust Indira but the two make a good team.
