=== Background ===
''The son of a concubine of some Dragonblooded lord or another from the Realm, who left while pregnant with him. He was born outside the Realm, raised outside the Realm and started brawling outside the Realm. He's never been back, but odds are he's fought one or two travelling Dragonbloods from the realm at some point or another.''
''Blossom used to be part of a rather large family with a lot of Dragonblooded blood in its veins, if asked where it is, he'll reply that it's "somewhere out east." If pressed he'll admit that he went wandering one morning and never got around to finding his way back. Some years ago, soldiers of the Realm found him tending a surprisingly magnificent garden in the middle of a forest while chasing criminals. After he disarmed half of them with his hoe, they realized he was Dragonblooded and dragged him back to the realm where he was subsequently adopted.''
 
''Unfortunately for his adopted family, Blossom was pretty much impossible to make a part of Realm life. An absent-minded, kind-hearted wanderer, he spent most of his time in gardens and parks, tending to plants(and talking to them) or tending to those who couldn't afford to be treated anywhere. Aside from the required passing-on-of-the-blood, he participated in none of his new house's affairs and eventually they ended up forgetting about him. Since then he's managed to wander his way out of the Realm again, searching for new wonders to behold and new people to help.''
 
''Blossom's a kind soul who abhors fighting if it can ever be avoided and would prefer to talk his way around things instead, though he refuses to lie to accomplish this. If forced to fight, he generally ends it by the direct method of disarming his enemies and then walking away, though if they persist in trying to kill him he may well beat them unconscious, bandage them and then leave.''
 
''It's a wonder he's still alive, really.''


''A loud, annoying braggard who nonetheless tends to fascinate people. The only thing he likes more than getting laid is drinking, and the only thing he likes more than drinking is fighting. He only fights people who are worth it(a challenge), who decide to challenge him or who are picking on those weaker than themselves(not because he cares about the weak, but it's being a bad sport.). He usually only fights to the death by accident or if there isn't time to be "gentle," after all, who's going to spread word of how bad-ass he is if he kills everyone he meets? While he's an arrogant braggard, he knows when he's beaten and is always willing to learn from someone who shows that they can take him. If he isn't fighting, he's usually busy "impressing" everyone around him with a mixture of true stories, embellished stories and outright lies. It serves as both a way to get free drinks and a way to draw a fight out of others.''


=== Appearance ===
=== Appearance ===
''Permanent stubble, short black hair, a red bandana and the drink in his hand is how Whisper looks when in his natural habitat: The bar. There's nothing noteworthy about his clothes, which are as minimal as possible without leaving him naked, and usually some colour of dusty road. He tends to favour open(or non-existent, they perish rapidly in fights) shirts and sandals. His usual expression is a friendly or excited grin, even when in fights, they're usually not a personal matter, it's just that someone needs to get punched unconscious to establish who's in charge.''
''Blossom's dressed in a plain brown robe and carries several bags slung around his person, including one particularly large, rattling one on his back which contains a variety of hoes, rakes, small shovels and other gardening tools. He's bald, but his smooth scalp has long ago been colonized by a thick patch of ivy which sprouts pleasantly-coloured flowers in the spring and summer. He keeps it trimmed to prevent it trailing down his back. ''
 
''If divested of his robes, Blossom looks plain but pleasant, not a work of art, but clearly someone who's lived a healthy life full of physical exercise.''

It has been suggested that this page should be merged with Whispering, let's discuss at discussion page.

Basics[edit]

Name: Whispering Blossom(Blossom to his friends, which is almost everyone)
Concept: Humble Gardener
Aspect: Wood
Motivation: Aid those in need, see the world, find an amazing place to settle down and make a garden.
Intimacies: The Weak, Plants, Animals
Anima Banner/Totem:
Anima Effect/Tell:
Experience: 19/28
(write experience points as "unspent / total" plx)

Background[edit]

Blossom used to be part of a rather large family with a lot of Dragonblooded blood in its veins, if asked where it is, he'll reply that it's "somewhere out east." If pressed he'll admit that he went wandering one morning and never got around to finding his way back. Some years ago, soldiers of the Realm found him tending a surprisingly magnificent garden in the middle of a forest while chasing criminals. After he disarmed half of them with his hoe, they realized he was Dragonblooded and dragged him back to the realm where he was subsequently adopted.

Unfortunately for his adopted family, Blossom was pretty much impossible to make a part of Realm life. An absent-minded, kind-hearted wanderer, he spent most of his time in gardens and parks, tending to plants(and talking to them) or tending to those who couldn't afford to be treated anywhere. Aside from the required passing-on-of-the-blood, he participated in none of his new house's affairs and eventually they ended up forgetting about him. Since then he's managed to wander his way out of the Realm again, searching for new wonders to behold and new people to help.

Blossom's a kind soul who abhors fighting if it can ever be avoided and would prefer to talk his way around things instead, though he refuses to lie to accomplish this. If forced to fight, he generally ends it by the direct method of disarming his enemies and then walking away, though if they persist in trying to kill him he may well beat them unconscious, bandage them and then leave.

It's a wonder he's still alive, really.


Appearance[edit]

Blossom's dressed in a plain brown robe and carries several bags slung around his person, including one particularly large, rattling one on his back which contains a variety of hoes, rakes, small shovels and other gardening tools. He's bald, but his smooth scalp has long ago been colonized by a thick patch of ivy which sprouts pleasantly-coloured flowers in the spring and summer. He keeps it trimmed to prevent it trailing down his back.

If divested of his robes, Blossom looks plain but pleasant, not a work of art, but clearly someone who's lived a healthy life full of physical exercise.
