A little about my previous experience: I played Furc from middle school through the summer after high school (about 2003 - 2008). Quit playing Furc to get into tabletop RP (D&D and Pathfinder) and have been running/playing tabletop on a weekly basis since. Sometimes I'll run a game in an online, text-based environment to get back in touch with my players who have since moved away. Used to frequent dreams such as The Broken Sword Inn, Bail's Tavern, and Wayfarer's Inn back in the day.
Why I'd like to join: It's been a long time since I've been a part of an online RP community and I decided it was time to get back on Furc. I started creating my own dream to my preferences, but I discovered Etla Isle had most of what I was looking for, plus an established continuity to boot.

Appearance
From a distance, this dwarf would appear as a dried up, walking bush. Clothed in natural greens and browns, and decorated with vines, twigs, leaves, and brush. From his brow to his cheeks, dirt is smeared over his visage, making features nearly undiscernible. His beard is cluttered with dried flower petals, twigs, and the occasional crawling insect. Wrapped around this bush of a dwarf, is a short hunting bow, and a strap which houses a quiver of arrows. Around his waist is a rather thick leather belt, supporting a frog, which in turns supports a well used axe. Upon further inspection one could see through the mess of foliage that this figure also wears a knapsack on his back and sturdy leather boots at his feet.
Any other pertinent info: Grumphkin finds solace deep within the forest where he can be alone. He is capable of survival and has no need to ever set foot in town. However, he also finds solace in good brew and to his dismay must venture to the tavern often.
