Yellowtooth Troll Barterer Player: NPC - Heidi Henderson & Cindy England Last Updated: March 9, 2004

Attributes

Current Name: Yellowtooth [1518-1770]
Previous Name: Loudmouth [1283-1518]

Sex: Male
Age: 487
Caste: Silvertongue

Eyes:
Mottled brown eyes with yellowing whites. Somewhat squinty for a troll.

Hair:
What little hair he has is stringy and dirty blonde and is usually found poking out of the end of a wart or mole rather than out of the top of his head.

Facial Features:
A long, yet flat nose marked with pocks, warts and moles. His small eyes are shaded by heavy, shaggy eyebrows, and his whole face is dwarfed by his huge smile. The size of his mouth makes it easier to notice the one yellow tooth he has on his front right side.

Height: 5'6" (167 cm)
Skin: Brownish-green, though poor hygiene might account for the occasional darker patch of skin on his elbows and knees.
Build: Large, muscular and ambling. One can tell he's hefted a lot of weight (both on his self and in material possessions) for a good part of his life.

Clothes:
A simple shirt and trousers of varying colours, and earrings, especially in the left ear.

Colours Worn: Earth tones, mostly. Will settle for anything comfortable and available.
Jewellery: Golden earrings in his left ear. A ring on his right ring finger with a simple stone embedded within.

Relationships

Family:
Hangnail (mother, missing)

Spittle (brother, deceased)

Mates: No steady mates, but he's more than willing to ogle any maiden who lets him.

Friends:
Yellowtooth has many people he would call friends, though most would rather term the relationship as one of acquaintance. He has many gambling buddies, many brawling buddies and even feels a certain kinship with the scrawny elf trader, Nettle.

Role Play

Personality:
If ever there was a rowdy, boisterous troll, Yellowtooth is that troll. He's not afraid to say what he thinks, and he tells it like he sees it. More often than not, his big mouth gets him into trouble. A sharp remark from Yellowtooth often leads to a fight, skirmish, and on the rare occasion, a knife in another troll's back.

Women seem drawn to him, but not on any type of permanent basis. He's more of a one-night-stand sort of troll, and for the moment, he's content to keep things that way. There might be one troll maiden out there that will steal his heart, and he hasn't closed off that possibility, but he isn't going to hold his breath, either. The way he sees it, women are a pinch of gold dust a dozen, and if he waves enough of his wealth around, one of them will always be willing to come to his bed for the eve.

Treasures:
Wealth, lucky set of toss stones, gold capped tooth and the freedom trading gives him.

History:
Yellowtooth has come from a long line of traders, though his forebears were traders within the troll community rather than with the elves, such as Yellowtooth is now. He has always had a comfortable life, as his parents had considerable wealth. However, even all the riches in the world cannot buy a troll's happiness (as there's always another, richer troll out there or, at the very least, there is more wealth to be attained), and even the comfortable lifestyle his family led wouldn't keep Yellowtooth's mother from leaving for one of the king's wealthier subjects.

After his mother's departure, Yellowtooth's father focused more on his work rather than trying to win back the affections of a "cheating, roving wench". Needless to say, Rumblebelly's poor opinion of women made Yellowtooth rather shy of any type of commitment to one, and that feeling lasts to this day. Yellowtooth, like his father, focuses on trading and being the best at what he does. And if it weren't for his big mouth and his problem with playing stones far too much, he might be one of the wealthiest trolls in the kingdom.

However, that doesn't mean that Yellowtooth doesn't flaunt what wealth he has. He even went to far as to purposely cap one of his teeth with a gold crown (some say to prevent a gambling rival from taking that piece of gold as a payment).

Because of his skill with trading, King Splitjaw named him as emissary and chief of trade with the elves. Admittedly, Yellowtooth knew and still knows little about the point-eared race, but Nettle has taught him a thing or two about their kind. The troll trader finds it a challenge to think of ways to get the better deal from the elves (though sometimes his plans backfire on him). He's even gathered a small hoard of the finer materials to sell and trade on his own, which has boosted his wealth and status considerably.

Does Yellowtooth trust the elves? Even he's not sure. But anything that leads to riches can't be all bad.
