Character Profile: Dirco Storyteller

Dirco Storyteller

The Cycle of Time

        "At seventeen, he stood as tall as a full grown man, with long legs, longs arms, and long fingers. His extremely pale, yellowish hair—just a bit blonder than off-white—stuck out in all directions. The strangest eyes stared out from his olive-skinned face. The irises themselves were ice colored, and surrounded by a dark ring of black, which made them look white. He wore a long, sleeveless, leather coat with seemingly endless pockets, where he kept a supply of coal pencils and his sacred notebook." —The Cycle of Time: The Journey

        Dirco Storyteller is a storyteller by trade—hence his self-given name—and excels at weaving whimsical tales from Janíza's history. The most famous story he has told is the one involving Fire Eye's origins, which he learned from visiting the libraries in Glaedn 'Bae, where he lived for a time.

        Dirco's strange past is elusive even to his best friend, Alli. From what he has revealed, he lived with the elves for a year, where he learned to speak elvish, before being kicked out for "mouthing off" to the queen. He also trained in sword-fighting with the dwarves, traveled from Glaedn 'Bae to Jzältondí, and obviously had many other adventures while away telling his stories.

        Dirco's prized possession is his notebook, which he logs all of his thoughts, ideas, sketches, and stories into at random intervals. Though almost goofy by nature, Dirco often experiences feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem...even if he would never admit it.

Unfortunately, really the only way to describe Dirco's personality is to read about him. Keep checking back for the first chapter of The Journey, which I hope to post soon.
