Appearance

Angus is a tall and very thin man with shoulder length sandy blond hair and very good looks. Angus usually has a several day growth of beard as it seems to look good on him and Angus never liked to get in too many habits that do not generate fun and shaving is a boring one.

Angus likes to dress in lose fitting clothing of a colorful style as to bring more attention to himself.

There is no extra muscle on Angus as he inherited his mothers frame.

Personality

As a result of Angus’s slight frame, he has never been one to accentuate the physical nature of things. Preferring through his fun loving people nature to always gather a group of friends to help him with the physical aspects of life. Angus prefers to be with people who are female, fun, or not too serious and/or who can teach him things.

Up until Angus’s Sorcerer skills manifested themselves, he had been picked on by larger boys. As a result, Angus will look after those who are persecuted unjustly. Angus also seems to look after those of the female persuasion, as a part from his natural interest in them and they in him, but also since he became the man of his household at 16 and became protector of his mother and 2 younger siblings. It is debatable if Merri needed protecting after Anton’s disappearance, but it was all part of a teenagers angst and loss of his father.

To contradict himself on being the head of household, Angus left home to strike his own way, but still returns home periodically. Angus is very much focused on himself, but does not seem to be able to remain true to a task for a long period unless it has to do with gathering knowledge or is a lot of fun (head of Household was not fun for this 16 year old). Angus’s longest commitment (3 years) was when he was learning spell craft from the Wizards guild, but he got bored with them (not their story) and moved on.

Angus is always wanting to learn and expand his mind. Angus appreciated all of the outdoors and weapon training he received from his father, but is not interested in pursuing further physical training unless necessary. Angus prefers a more pampered life of the cities, but is not unfamiliar with the outdoors.

Angus is somewhat of a showoff and a flirt. Using his good looks, flute and winning personality to win over a room whenever possible. Angus always looks to make new friends and acquaintances, especially those that are female or those he know he can learn from or use as protectors.

Finally Angus is interested in finding out what happened to his Father, but it is not the most pressing priority. Angus, once settled in an area will see if he can find any information about his father whereabouts. In his heart he hopes his father is still alive, but his head tells him differently. On his trips home, he relates his findings to his mother and siblings.

History

Angus is the son of Argon and Merri Deminof. Argon and Merri adventured together for a few years for a small wizarding guild. Argon was a warrior and Merri a druid that settle down when they were 23 years old and Merri became pregnant with their oldest child Angus. Argon and Merri went into semi retirement for the wizard guild to raise a family. Angus has a younger brother Anton (16) and sister Marget (13).

Merri set up a 3 acre garden to raise food for the family and herbs and spell/potion components for the wizards.

Argon did some travel for the wizard guild and also searched out spell/potion components for the wizards. Argon was also known as Argon Dwarf friend and taught Angus the dwarfish language along with some outdoor skills and minor weapon training. Angus found the weapon training tedious as he much rather work his mind than his body and weapon training was considered work. Angus is not lazy, but physical activity is not his preferred method of entertainment. Unfortunately, the last mission Argon went on for the wizards over four years ago he did not return from.

Angus was named for a dwaven friend of Anton’s who had saved his life at one point. Anton never related the story of Angus the dwarf to Angus Deminof.

Merri raised the kids with pet dogs, cats, birds and horses and as a results Angus was exposed to many a variety of creature. Merri trained Angus as a herbalist and taught him to play the flute.

At age 13, Angus showed some talent to magic while being roughed up by some larger boys after he tried to stop them from picking on his sister, Marget, much to their dismay. As a result, many non wizards in the area were very wary of Angus. The local wizards took him in as a favor to Merri and Argon for all of their years of service to the guild. The wizards worked to develop Angus’s skill as a sorcerer over several years.

Angus left home six months after his father disappeared and has been drifting for over 3 years now. Around the time of Argon’s disappearance the wizards did not feel that they could take Angus much further and suggested that he find his own way, as he was constantly distracting the wizard students (especially the females) from their disciplined pursuits. Angus left the guild and went to help his mother (since the disappearance of Anton), but this lasted only a short while as Merri already taught Angus all she could.

Angus has always been interested in increasing his knowledge (magical and otherwise) and struck out on his own. Angus has not stayed in one area or another for too long, but has developed a network of friends were ever he has been. Angus usually moves on when he can get no more information (magical or otherwise) out of an area.

Angus has returned home to visit his family twice since he left home to find out if there was any word from his father and to leave money. Angus has earned money through minor adventures (as long as the group is fighter heavy to protect him) and through his flute. Angus enjoys entertaining whenever possible for the pure enjoyment of it and as a way to make friends and gather information about a new area.

At present Angus is looking for a new group of friends to learn from and to protect him from the physical problems of the world.
