Drusus is in his early twenties. He is strong, has a graceful, erect posture. 5'11", 154 lbs, wavy red hair, eyes that vary from grey to deep blue. Str 18/91 Dex 15 Con 14 Int 12 Wis 17 Cha 15. He is generally armed with bastard sword, drusus (a finely-crafted variant of the short sword), and an elven bow. He customarily bears two full quivers of arrows on his back.

Drusus travels with a number of animal companions, most notably his Cortonian war hound, 'Nasa', a 400 lb. intelligent dog, black with red stripes, and golden eyes. He has two other dogs: 'Tokka' (male, 3/4 Husky, 1/4 Wolf) and 'Sadki' (female, a husky/Airedale terrier mix); a pair of falcons, 'Gar' (male) and 'Scree' (female); two medium war horses: 'Burns' (Arabian stallion) and 'Susanna' (female Morgan/Arabian mix), who likes her oats; and a cat, 'Nadya' (female, Russian Blue), who likes to ride horseback, especially on Burns.

Likes: Stories and lore, art (he enjoys sculpting and wood carving, the latter learned from his father), craftsmanship, animals, woodlands and prairies, music, weapons practice, good company, good friends, exercise, reading.

Dislikes: The goblin races, false friends, tasteless food. Greatest dislikes: Orcs.

Favorite foods/drinks: Enjoys spices (whether subtle or sharp), contrasting cuisine (hot with cold, hard with soft, etc.), good presentation and color. Loves to learn of and enjoy many of the lesser-known plants from the wilderness. Although he has gourmet tastes, he generally does not finish his meals. He tastes, and enjoys, and remembers, but does not go for gluttony. His favorite drink is good clean water. He also is known for preparing and drinking a variety of juices, some of which others enjoy, and others which cause wonder at how he can swallow the stuff. He likes wines, and beers, and ales. He rarely touches anything harder ... but does usually keep some high-proof alcohol for medicinal purposes.

Quirks: One that perhaps no one except his friend Melsie and perhaps his parents were aware of ... but he usually avoids stepping on tree roots. This avoidance began as a boy, when a treant grabbed him by the hair and shook him. "How would you like it if I were to walk on YOUR roots, hmmm, boy?" That began his first acquaintance with a treant, a relationship characterized by great respect on Drusus' part toward the ent and his forest. He does like to climb trees, though, and understands that some trees enjoy being climbed.

Drusus has an inquisitive mind, loves to learn, and is rarely shy about asking questions. He likes to meet and to get to know people.

Family: Both of his parents still live in the Dales. His father, a semi-retired ranger, is a well-regarded artisan - a wood carver, among other things. His mother, a druid, is an animal breeder and trainer. Both father and mother are half-elves, of high elven lineage. Drusus has four brothers and three sisters, although one of his brothers died a few years back, while fighting an incursion of orcs.

Current Doings: Drusus has just joined with a group led by Gaebryll out of Raven's Bluff (aka Living City) in the Forgotten Realms, DMed by Lord Shadowhawk.
