Briar

Briar is a character played by plagueJester.

Appearance
Briar is an imp with a satyr-like appearance, bearing grey horns that curve back to their ears, light-purple goat legs, a small pair of bat wings, and a short tail ending in a bright pink spade. His hair is a darker shade of purple, shaved on the back and sides, with a bit of similarly colored stubble. Their eyes are bright magenta with black sclera, with a patterning of silver scales beneath them. He most often wears a black shirt with torn sleeves under a grey vest with several patches, as well as a pair of spiked bracelets.

Bio
Owner of "Briar Beware" just northwest of Night Port, Briar lives in his store for most of the day, only emerging to grocery shop or gather new stock for the shop... Not that anyone comes by to shop. His store's inventory is questionable at best, despite his trying to figure out what current crisis he can work off of. Recently, he's begun converting the store into a bar/cafe, hoping to alleviate some of DeVille's haunting problems, and actually get some foot traffic to his location.

Personality
Briar tends to keep his mouth shut unless engaged, and tends to be snarky if questions get personal. Otherwise fairly willing to shoot the shit, trying to get an angle on the people around them. Outside of social gatherings, Briar is incredibly nosy, utilizing runes and potions to eavesdrop on conversations that they think might further his information gathering. He is also quite cautious interacting with the Divine and the Void, or those who may be aligned with it, but considers these sorts to be even more valuable to investigate. Not the quickest to settle things with combat, preferring to bargain their way out of trouble. In his journals, he tends to write very frantically, more of a train of thought than proper record keeping. They'll tend to be more formal when documenting a specific event, but still tend to go on tangents and lose any professionalism.

Trivia
