Narven

Summary
In the immortal words of Narven's great grandpappy Terrivus Erp...

"Somethin' ain't quite right with that boy."

That sums it up quite nicely.

Personality
Narven is friendly, and he does play nice with others... but usually, other folks put some good distance between themselves and Narven. Why is this?

Is it because of the awkward and disturbing topics he brings up in conversation? Is it because his personal hygiene is capable of offending the numerous parasites that infest his body? Is it because he lost a game of Trivial Pursuit to an old dish rag? Is it because of that obnoxious low-pitched laugh of his? Is it because he has a tendancy to randomly snap up the nearest swimming object without any warning? Is it because of his rancid aroma that is said to be a nauseating mix of rotting minnow and sulfur? Is it because his awkward grin causes one of his eyes to actually levitate above his head? Is it because the odd fascination he has with his own belly-button?

Yes. Yes it is.

Narven sees his ability to render even the calmest mind feeling awkward and in need of a long shower as more of a superpower than a curse. And who can blame him? He's the champ.

Story
Nobody can get Narven to focus on something other than his belly-button for more than thirty seconds. What makes you think he'll ever explain his life story?

All that can be gathered from his past are a few short tales of daring exploits, eagle attacks, nose-picking sessions, catastrophic explosions, and one very, very surly beekeeper.

Every spring, he swims up from his home in Okongo to spend a few months in Spond doing whatever the heck it his that he does.
