Krand: Hops Brinegood
Bard
Krand: Hops Brinegood
Species
Halfling
Appearance
A pocket of ocean wrapped in a person. Hops is small and round in the halfling way, cheeks permanently flushed with the color of spent cider. His skin bears a faint, irregular network of silvery scars that wind across his forearms and throat like dried salt lines. He moves with a surprising, lopsided gait as if stepping to music only he can hear. His left ear is threaded with three tiny brass rings, each etched with a different tide-mark. Unexpectedly, he keeps one hand perpetually ink-stained from copying sailors' maps and poems. When he works the bar he becomes all soft eyes and practiced motions; when he tells a story his fingers drum rhythms in the air as if keeping time for an invisible band.
“Softly spoken with the clipped intonations of coastal halflings; he peppers sentences with nautical metaphors and will sometimes sing the last line of a sentence instead of speaking it.”

Voice
“Warm baritone that easily shifts to a croon; it carries the salt and weariness of long nights but brightens when he laughs”
Clothing
Worn fisherman vest patched with bright scraps, a faded navy waistcoat embroidered with a single mermaid motif over a cream shirt, salt-dark breeches, and soft leather shoes lined with cork to help him stand on wet planks
Body Language
Hops tilts his head toward speakers, leaning in as if to catch the last word, then slowly leans back with a satisfied hum; when nervous he fiddles with the brass rings on his ear until they click
