ALL,

I offer the below format as an example for displaying information on local personalities. Here is my contribution to Elmshade locals... the Barber.  I had an idea.  On the Elmshade Overview page we could make the numbered building entries hyperlinks to the Locals Personality post.  By that I mean, Gideon's Barber Shop would be hyperlinked to this message to show the information on the guy.

Let me know what you think.
HT

NAME: Gideon Lyf'kiler
[Loremaster Bard, 8th Level (48hps), Chaotic Neutral]
TITLE(s):

Barber (Pubically), Gossip Monger (Loremaster) 


Behind the Scenes:

  • Information Broker (Thieves Guild Representative);
  • Appraiser of Objets de Art (charges 10% fee on value of items appraised);
  • Dealer in Rare Antiquities and Unique Items [aka Fence (haggles at 1/3rd value, buys at 1/2 value, sells at full value) and Smuggler (10% commission on value of item, increasing with any special transportation requirements or security considerations)]
LOCATION: Building 28 on the Elmshade Map
HISTORY: Several days prior to the dismissal and banishment of Captain Grant and his men from Elmshade (Soldier's Steele), two heavily laded wains each pulled by four large draft horses arrived in the night escorted by those very same men to the vacant building at the southern edge of the town plaza.  By dawn of the next day, the empty wains were neatly parked behind the building, the draft horses placidly exploring the new corral, and a new shop had opened its doors to the citizenry of Elmshade with a wooden sign swing over head out into the plaza depicting a straight razor crossed against a set of scissors and comb.  Interior decor is almost represenative of an art gallery, metropolitan library or museum of fine antiquities by way of displayed objets de art and written works (tomes, scrolls, books etc). 
PERSONALITY: Very Persuasive, Social and Talkative (CHR 17); Brit accent; Gives everyone the time of day, and will talk up anyone who sits in his chair; Seems knowledgeable on a wide array of subjects; Can push peoples' buttons to create hostility and violence with innuendo and perceptions (think Stephen King's Needful Things).
