Description

Brynn Rooke is a gaunt human in his mid-twenties with sharp cheekbones and bright, piercing blue eyes that seem to see straight through people. His entire body, arms, chest, back, even his neck, is covered in intricate magical tattoos that shift subtly in different light, each one a living canvas of arcane art. He is perpetually shirtless, displaying his work with quiet pride. His hair is a tousled, messy blonde. He moves with the languid grace of someone completely comfortable in his own skin.

Personality

Brynn is charismatic in an understated way, speaking softly and carefully. He has an artist's temperament, passionate about his craft but detached from the chaos of the world around him. He treats each tattoo as a collaboration between himself and his client, insisting on understanding their story before putting ink to skin. Despite operating in Solaris's underground, he maintains a code of ethics: he won't tattoo anyone too drunk to consent, and he refuses work that glorifies cruelty or slavery.

Story

Momeline first saw Brynn in Session 32 - Secrets Beneath the Dragon when she snuck into The Pit and watched him defeat a massive beast. The party later visited his tattoo shop, where Momeline and Lirielle purchased magical tattoos.
