This is the guide character for my current project. Hylid is basically a well travelled old loner. His species fits his role - being less addapted to community (urban) living, they are mostly a rural society with a few 'large towns.' With their wandering nature, it was inevitable that they would adapt well to space travel. Their small scale civilization has never really had any wars but they have known a little combat. This particular traveler has been all over the galaxy, picking up bits of information, skills, and technology from many races along the way - his backpack is loaded with all sorts of various gadgets and gizmos. He is abit of a wizard as well - duh, the staff. Aside from the him and ship's mechanic (he'll appear eventually), the characters where chosen for this mission based on their combat skills. He became a part of this adventure based on his experience and accumulation of knowledge. Since his planet didn't really have a great warrior to volunteer, they sent this guy. His staff, named Cedrusthu, is a bit crude and stubborn at times (he his the oldest member of the party ~ over 1000 years), but he is a very powerful entity, though the extend of which is shrouded.
