Profile

Just a bluesman...



Appearance
Tall and lanky. No, taller than that. Rat is 6'7" and that means he sometimes ducks in doorways. His face is narrow and dominated by a big, pointy nose. Blue eyes, and reddish-brown hair with a receding hairline. He's not ugly, but he's not especially handsome, either. Lucky thing he's not all that self-conscious about it.

Personality
Friendly, calm, incredibly laid-back. One of the things most people notice about Rat is how easygoing he is, sometimes to a fault. For anyone who's looking for his opinion or a little take-charge attitude, this can be frustrating. He knows how to lead and how to give instructions, but he won't do it unless there's an obvious need, preferring to just go with the flow. What everyone else wants comes first.

What he does
Play music. First and foremost, Rat is a musician. He's been a teacher, and loves kids, but jazz and blues music is his heart and soul. He's a singer, a songwriter, a player of guitar, harmonica, and whatever other instruments someone puts his hands on. It doesn't take much to convince him to play music for anybody.
Rat is also an intellectual and a philosopher, a lover of books and thinking for its own sake. Don't let his shabby look fool you, Rat is homeless by a set of unfortunate circumstances, but he's a smart man who could do well if he just had the chance.
