Shiloh Curio

Soothsayer Shiloh Curio

Shiloh Curio is a young warlock with a crystal ball. They were well respected among the Frohesblatt people for their Divination talents, as well as their ability to provide wisdom to anyone who needed it. This place of social standing earned them the title of Soothsayer, which the village still uses. Shiloh was encouraged to make a pact with The Maiden of Solstice as part of a village tradition.   When The Maiden of Solstice grew angry with Shiloh for neglecting the lifestyle of a hunter, she began to take Shiloh's friends and family as collateral. Shiloh, being wholly unhappy with this arrangement, began looking for ways to end the pact.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Shiloh has a thin frame and an inexplicable spring in their step. They are neither muscular nor frail, and they walk with a carefree and jovial posture.

Body Features

Like most Feyfolken Tieflings, Shiloh has a pair of deer antlers protruding from their head. This makes wearing hats and hoods very inconvenient.

Facial Features

Shiloh's face is smooth and friendly, with a pair of wide and starry eyes that seem to soak in the world like a dry sponge. Shiloh's nose is small, round, and button-like, and their ears are just barely larger than you'd expect. Shiloh's ears and nose occasionally twitch like those belonging to a woodland animal, but are otherwise unremarkable in their normalcy.

Identifying Characteristics

Shiloh has a pair of Deer Antlers that often have leaves impaled on them. They also have a subtle pair of green eyes.

Physical quirks

Shiloh has extremely fluffy and dirty blond hair. They also tend to gnaw on things when they're bored, and often fiddle with objects in the environment.

Special abilities

Shiloh has a highly above-average sense of hearing and smell, comparable to a dog's. Although their eyes are indistinguishable from a human's, Shiloh is very perceptive.

Apparel & Accessories

Shiloh wears a leather cowl that wasn't designed for a person with horns, as well as an off-white shirt that extends down to the knees, but it's tied to firmly by the waist with a belt. They also wear a pair of baggy pants and a pair of hard-sole moccasins.

Mental characteristics

Gender Identity

Shiloh identifies as Shiloh! What does that mean, you ask? I don't know. You can ask, if you're curious.

Sexuality

Yes? No? Maybe? I don't know? Shiloh has paid no attention to the topic whatsoever, and they are very chaste by nature.

Education

Shiloh has virtually no education. Their knowledge of Warlock magic and Divination are largely self taught with small but noteworthy input from other members of their community.

Employment

Shiloh was "employed" in their home as a Soothsayer - who would break up disputes and dispense valuable advice, as well as tell the future. They would occationally carve and draw, but largely focused their talents on dispensing advice.   They are currently unemployed, and are struggling to understand the finer details of commerce outside a barter system.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Shiloh got to the Floating City! Huzzah!

Failures & Embarrassments

Shiloh has a reputation for being very ignorant of modern society, which is entirely accurate.

Mental Trauma

Shiloh's bond with their patron, The Maiden of Solstice, is very strained. A number of patron-related disappearances in their home has given Shiloh an unusual fear of forests that boarders on utter terror.

Intellectual Characteristics

Shiloh is not the brightest crayon in the shed. They make up for this complete lack of intellect by being very perceptive! They're also very nosy, which is very much at odds with the world at large.

Morality & Philosophy

Shiloh believes that every person's skills are best used to benefit others, and everyone has a skill or talent to share with the world! They also firmly believe that not only are there many gods in the world, but they speak to us in mysterious ways if you only look hard enough.

Taboos

Shiloh will preform a number of rituals during their downtime, including prayer, lighting incense, decorating, cleaning, and counting their fingers. They do this because at any time, the Maiden of Solstice could reach out from the woods and whisk them away, never to be seen again. Any protection from this eventuality is welcomed and embraced.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Shiloh is very interested in not being killed, eaten, dismembered, or otherwise hurt by the Maiden of Solstice. However, they have also taken this time to travel the world and indulge their relentless wanderlust and boundless curiosity. They hope that by learning new things and seeing new sights, they can understand the world even more.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Shiloh is completely uneducated, and has never even heard of the modern world in it's current state. Although Shiloh is surprisingly adept at fitting in just well enough to get by, continued interaction shatters the illusion that they understand the culture. This unfamiliar landscape gives Shiloh a strong sense of anxiety.   They're surprisingly good at cooking food, producing medicine, and reciting ancient stories and religious tales!

Likes & Dislikes

Shiloh likes friends, soft things, and the animals. Shiloh really likes talking to the animals! They're often quite friendly!

Vices & Personality flaws

Shiloh's curiosity and social ineptitude boarders on hazardous, and they're eager to separate themselves from the people who can help them if they think those people are in danger.

Personality Quirks

Shiloh asks an irritating number of questions and talks fairly fast. They also fidget with ridiculous frequency, often breaking things.

Hygiene

Shiloh swam in a lake about a week ago. That's hygiene, right?

Social

Contacts & Relations

The Frohesblatt people, especially the Curio line. Literally nobody else.

Family Ties

Very few, since the Maiden of Solstice took half of them.

Religious Views

The gods are eager to share their wisdom with us - we just have to listen!

Social Aptitude

Snrk. 
Shiloh has no understanding of modern culture, but is surprisingly good at carrying a conversation!

Mannerisms

Shiloh will respond to any nickname, even if it isn't theirs. They also fidget greatly, ask a lot of questions, and generally move around like they're leaking curious energy.

Hobbies & Pets

Shiloh has taken to fortune telling, advice giving, and the occasional crafting of things.

Speech

Shiloh understands old common better than modern common, and will often use surprisingly common but old words. They have a much worse understanding of newer slang.

Wealth & Financial state

Broke, baby!

Reluctant warlock that tells fortunes.
