1. This is Joseph Picard's player character that we are making into an NPC. Notes compiled from Joseph Picard's answers and the interview.
2. What is this character’s name? - Tavish
3. What is their ancestry (i.e. human, elf, dwarf, halfling, etc)? - Hill Dwarf from Ironstone in the world of Veridia
4. What is your job or role (i.e. farmer, hierling/mercenary, shopowner, bandit, etc)? - Cleric of Eir and caretaker of an orphanage
5. How old are you? - 350, the equivalent of a 60 year old human
6. Describe your physical appearance. - Portly, bald on top, beard often braided into 3 braids which is snowy (PEPPERED!), wears chainmail, shiny pendant under his white robes which depict hills and trees, shield, warhammer (his holy symbol), and a pocket that never seems to run out of spoons.
7. Describe yourself with 3 adjectives. - Kind, Compassionate, Bumbling
8. What is a valuable item/piece of lore/secret that this character possesses? Or do they value an ideal/concept or particular person (i.e. family member, guild member, honor, justice, love etc.) - His personal relationship that he has with Eir whom he loves. He associates his divine spells as being in Eir's direct prescene and talks to her as if she were an invisible but beloved wife with some mortal humility mixed in. His healing spells, when cast in the longer ritual form, take form as him telling tales about Eir's needs over the millennia as the healing takes place. He will cast Spirtual Weapon and believes Eir is there wielding the weapon and he tries to hold her hand. He casts Guardian of Faith and believes that they are warriors sent from Valhalla by Eir to help him.
9. What is a particular quest you would be willing to recruit or hire the player characters to go do? - To either help the orphanage in some way or to help construct a canal from a lake to the ocean for the magical, intellligent boat named Bjoti McBjotface.
10. What would be their reward for succeeding? - Money is a universal reward, but to the people he deems to be good, he's likely to also give them a spoon and a story about how a spoon can save your life (telling the tale of his mother and how she saved a dozen miners from a cave-in and now that spoon is on display in the chief's hall in Ironstone).
11. What would be the consequence of failure or refusing the call? - Varying levels of conscience-eroding disappointment. Definitely will not appreciate someone being a jerk.

Optional Questions - not required

• What are the goals and motivations of your character? How do these affect your general personality? - Help those who need it, especially orphans and to break up slavery rings. He also has formed a mentorship with Bjoti McBjotface. Tavish feels a great deal of responsibility and does what he can to help as many people as he can. This does not entirely keep him away from the darkest brews he can find.
• Do you have a particular accent or language with each or in general? Any idiosyncrasies in how you act and speak? - Heavy Scottish accent, his religion is Norse based, and very stereotypical fantasy dwarf. He gets along with other Norse gods, but Tavish isn't too overly fond of Odin-serving paladins. He also learned Undercommon from a traveling companion. During battle, he delivers epic sermons while he fights.
• What impact have you made on the world? How have you shaped the local area? - Having struck the final blow to the local slaver boss, Tavish was a key player in driving the slavers' influence from the port city of Greenshores and the surrounding area. His contributions to a nearby sanctuary for dragons (which are animal-intelligent in Veridia) were helpful. Bjoti McBjotface wishes to become a cleric because of Tavish and the boat can cast Light. He worked closely with a NPC party member to help get them cured of a drug addiction. He platonically befriended a sex worker who converted to the worship of Eir and she helps out at the orphanage. The fact that he is so passionate about Eir and has done these heroic deeds has helped lead many people to faith and to the worship of Eir.
• Do you have any current problems that prevent you from being a bigger player on the stage? - Currently, Tavish is focused on taking care of the orphans and working with Bjoti.
