Revision as of 08:05, 24 January 2009
Name: Abraham(Abe) Inksmith
Age: 31
Nationality: Alaskan
Physical appearance: Built like a block, and topping out at 5.4. Abe Inksmith is a holdover from the days of the Neanderthal. With sloping brow and undershot jaw, ol' Abe's not winning any beauty pageants. Brown eyes stare out from a face that seems slightly off, as if the left side had been crushed and only partially repaired. From ankle to wrist Abe is covered in tattoos, skulls and women, seprents and birds, roses, ships, and demons adorn his muscled frame. And not the showy sculpture of a gymnasium physique, no, we see the primal solidity of neo-lithic standing stones. Shapeless gray trousers, and coat of the same description provides an outer shell, covering a plain laborers shirt. Leather on the feet and wool on the head, once again in that same forgettable gray.
Profession: Former Sideshow triple-threat, Wildman, Snake Handler, Tattooist.
