Finnbarre is an aelphin that the PCs rescued from the Ice Tower. He was the most badly injured of the three surviving captives and was generally non-responsive for a few solid days after his rescue. Yoshirou-Mura spent considerable time working with him to try to get him to break out of that near-catatonia.
Finnbarre is a pale-skinned aelphin. skin tone similar to colors of a birch tree (pale white grey). He also appears to be quite young. He's about 5'3" - on the tall side for an aelphin, but still shorter than Yoshriou-Mura.
History
Finnbarre hasn't spoken much about his history. When speaking with the party while he was recovering, he admitted that he grew up very far north in the forest and didn't have much exposure to others as a child. He grew up a woodsman and a farmer far from the nearest village. He is quite a skilled woodsman, nearly silent and invisible when he wants to be and quite capable of any general survival skills.
Personality
Finnbarre is definitively awkward around other people and is much more comfortable around animals or even alone. He clearly developed something of a crush on Yoshirou-Mura when she was visiting him during his post-Ice Tower convalescence. Despite this, he's very quiet, even around her.
TODO more
- How does he act?
- He's the aelphin equivalent of a "low-caste" farmboy.
- He's somewhat reluctant to speak with new people, partly because he has an aelphin "hick accent."
- He's also not well-cued into detailed aelphin body language
- He has a lot to be afraid of - he's not familiar with any of the things he's encountering, but he doesn't want to let his fear and ignorance control him. He is, at heart, a team member, not a leader.
- He wants to make things better, but he doesn't necessarily want to be acknowledged for doing so.
- He's also angrier at the demons than most aelphin, mostly since he's seen more of them than most.
- He wants to take the fight to the demons mostly because he wants his family to be able to live their lives without having to worry about these demon invasions.
- What does he want?
- See the world.
- Serve his people.
- Repay the PCs for the favors they did to him.
- Why is he still with the PCs?
- A part of this is Yoshirou-Mura - he's got quite a crush on her.
- Another reason is that he always wanted to see the world, or at least the "aelphin" world - this is more than he'd ever hoped for.
- On a related note, he wanted to learn how to better defend his family. He's worried about them without him here, but he is confident that since he got the word back (with the help of the PCs) to the aelphin leaders, they will be helping all of his kin in the northern lands.
- This brings us to his debt to the PCs - they rescued him and, in essence, saved his family much trouble. He's working with them to pay it back.
Combat
Finnbarre uses a fighting style clearly derived from the same family of skills as Yoshirou-Mura's. Where she chooses to fight with a relatively heavy blade and a dagger, however, he fights with a balanced pair of light thrusting blades. He appears nearly ambidextrous. He is also quite competent as a bowman, though Yoshirou-Mura's skills vastly outshine his.

- Knowledgeable Guardian: Double tier bonus on Knowledge checks to identify monsters including checks to learn special powers/vulnerabilities. Free action, spend one mythic power to telepathically communicate this information to all allies with 100'.
- Sudden Block: Immediate action; can use one mythic surge per day to force attacker to roll twice and take lower roll on attack vs. you or adjacent ally. Add tier to your (or ally's) AC vs. this attack. Once the attack is resolved, you or your ally (your choice) can make one melee attack against the creature. The damage from this attack bypasses DR.
