Richard Longmember

Name: Richard "Dick" Longmember

Gender: Male

Race/Class: Human Ranger

Homeland: Raelbuck

Deity: Erastil

Class/House: Commoner

Relationship: Former Employer

Personality:
Richard is a cocky man with a propensity for finding himself in trouble with the law and the ladies. He believes that he is god's gift to the fairer sex, and will happily regale anyone who will listen about tales of his life on the road. Despite (or possibly because of) all this, he is generally followed at all times by his sharp-tongued, but caring mother, Grace Longmember.

Introduction:
Richard Longmember was the first person encountered by the heroes.

When goblins ambushed his cart, he found himself taking care of his feisty mother while the heroes fought off the threats; somewhat conveniently keeping himself away from any opportunity to prove his grandiose tales.

Achievements:
After being screwed out of a cushy job by Lord-Mayor Davisse, he vowed to pay the heroes out of pocket. He feels like he owes the party a favour and will happily do what it takes to square out his debt.

Social Life:
Richard spends most of his life on the roads in the company of mercenaries and bodyguards. Due to his reputation as a reliable transporter and a damn good driver, he spends most of his time traveling from town to town.

Surprisingly though, he refuses to visit the capitol of New Tonik during the daylight hours, which he claims is for loading efficiency reasons, but which many locals claim is actually quite the scandal involving a dwarven prostitute, a hat of disguise, and several forged government seals.

History:
Richard Longmember is one of the most well-respected carters in Raelbuck, and is also one of the very few willing to take the trade routes up to Tritown and Swazion despite their relative isolation. As such, he's highly praised on his efficiency, trustworthiness, and professionalism.

This reputation has only solidified itself in the past few years after his mother Grace Longmember began following him on his long treks across the country. Prior to this, Richard's professionalism was tainted by his growing reputation as a womanizer and a lecher, with very few professionals willing to associate their name with someone likely to cause them trouble with potential contacts, or even worse, the drow.
