Name- Golaw Skullhelm
Age- 30
Birth Date-December 15th
Gender-Male
Species-Shrew
Occupation and Home- Log a Log of the GUOSIM (Guerilla Union of Shrews in Mossflower), Mossflower
Alignment- Chaotic Good
Appearance: Golaw stands and even five feet of war honed muscle. He is lean with a wiry build and coarse brown fur. Long jagged scars crisscross over his back and chest, carving deep pink furrows in his weather beaten fur. His eyes are a deep blue, flashing like azure bolts of lightning whenever he is angry. He wears a necklace of five fox teeth, a flame blackened, fox skull helm completely covering his head, a black fox hide quiver and a black leather curass cinched at his waist with a brightly colored sash.
Personality: Golaw is a tough and stoic defender of the shrew people; never taking on any task he feels would jeopardize his tribe or the shrew people as a whole. He feels a great personal shame for abandoning his people and will never do so again. The loss of his love many years ago has scarred him deeply causing terrible nightmares and sleepwalking episodes and he remains to this day celibate to the point of not touching females of any race in her honor. He holds a special hatred for vermin foxes in particular and attacks them without quarter whenever they are found. He carries with him, incalculable guilt and makes a point to remember every shrew that died under his command, and then blames himself no matter the circumstance of their demise. He is a powerful speaker and orator bringing his people to tears or rages with his frenzied speeches. He loves to cook and make healthy meals for the dubbins of his tribe. He is very self conscious about his disfigurement believing it to be a mark of his personal shame for causing the death of his love.
Strengths:
• He is a deadly fighter with his Rapier, Knives, and bare paws.
• He is nearly unmatched with his bow as he can shot dead center at excess of 100 yards.
• He is strong and quick for a shrew, a little above average in both categories.
• He is a great leader and tactician, inspiring others with his powerful speeches and selfless actions.
• He is a great cook and knows many recipes- Some healthy some not.
Character Weaknesses:
• He holds a deep hatred for foebeasts never showing them any mercy and throws himself into combat with them recklessly and without foresight.
• He has a terrible temper, though rarely expresses it, he can truly be terrifying to whoever warrants his wrath.
• He is cold and uncompromising to things that he feels warrant punishment, even to his own tribe.
• He suffers from terrible nightmares about the night that he lost his love, and sometimes sleepwalks from the strain of them.
• He is horribly scarred under his helm and will not take it off for fear others will see and judge his disfigurement.
Weaponry: Two heavy bladed hunting knives, a Masterwork Rapier of shrew make called Jaxspike, and a composite short bow with 50 arrows.
Parents: Log a Log Gett Spikerat (Father, Deceased), Ket Lovesky (Mother, Deceased)

Other Relationships: Mella Sundream (Wife, Deceased)
History: Born to the GUOSIM Golaw spent his early years training in swordplay, boxing, and archery excelling in all, beating out any other Shrew in his tribe no matter the age gap. He was ready to lead the tribe in all but age and awaited the day when his father would announce his succession. During this time he met a beautiful female shrew by the name of Mella Sundream and the two instantly fell in love. They remained this way for many seasons until Mella was with child. Fearing she was not getting enough exercise and would start to weaken. Golaw took them out for a stroll despite her protests, the two were ambushed by a vicious fox and his band. They tortured and brutalized Mella wile Golaw looked on with horror. After they finished the fox calmly walked over and skit her throat, laughing at Golaw’s cries the entire time. He then proceeded to begin disfiguring Golaw with his own knife. Horribly maiming his face and removing his upper lip. A GUOSIM shrew patrol heard the cries and came to the rescue saving him from more of a horrible fate. Seething with incandescent rage Golaw once freed took the captive foxes head by sawing it off with his blade. The remaining shrews looked on in horror as he then calmly walked back toward the camp. Spending hours in seclusion Golaw skinned the head, emptied it, and blacked it with its own ash. Then put it upon his head never to remove it again in front of others. His father and mother overcome with grief at his sons spiral into madness refused to eat and began to whither away and die. Golaw fearing another death on his soul fled and hired out his serves to a vermin hunting clipper called the Pale Grin. Through deed and battle he earned himself a terrible reputation with vermin, and tales of “Ole Skullhelm son of Jack Ketch hisself” could be heard from port to port. Almost three years later while at port Golaw ran into a member of the GUOSIM who told him that his father and mother had died and that the GUOSIM was almost disbanded from the infighting that on who would be the next Log a Log. Golaw almost fled back to his ship but something stopped him and he went back to his tribe to take on the mantle of leadership. He has been there to this day bringing the GUOSIM to heights of glory unknown before.
