(Sir) Bertie Kimballward Banter

A very lanky Yupyean hare with a military history. Highly energetic and willing to help everyone he can- even if they don't particularly want him to.

## Identity Information

### Affiliation

the Knights of the Unicorn,Clerc,Virgil,Almanac,Charlie Black,Artemesia

## Personality

No thoughts head empty. This hare would be the definition of himbo if only he had the muscles for it- gentlemanly, dumb as a box of rocks, and entirely willing to get into a scrap on your behalf. Well, so long as you're not a dashed bounder, what! Kind to a fault.

## Appearance

Extremely thin and 6 foot tall (not counting the ears) this swashbuckler-rogue hare is somewhat alarming to most people, but especially those who are less versed in toons. He has a particularly unique method of 'hiding' as he is able to reassemble his somewhat abstract components into different objects, thus allowing him to blend in to the environment... to an extent. Some enemies might be smart enough to notice a new blue and pink rug, or that very unusually coloured flower that just appeared over there- however, in the land of Toons, it seems not many can see through the technique and he employs this tactic regularly. The cost of this rather fluid design is that at very low HP he can go all to pieces, all too literally.

Habitually wears a pink military jacket with green sash, belt, gloves, and a single white ribboned medal. Closer inspection reveals the 'gong' section of it to be made of a hammered out bottle cap.

## Backstory

Mostly unrevealed! He is however a member of the **Knights of the Unicorn.**

*(adapted text taken from DnD Beyond)* The Knights of the Unicorn began as a fad of romantically minded sons and daughters of patriar families in UPA. On a lark, they took the unicorn goddess as their mascot and went on various adventures for fun. The reality of the dangers they faced eventually sank in, but they didn't shy away from it, instead gaining wisdom and losing nothing but false pride (and, sometimes, their dignity, but who needs that). Over time the small group grew and spread, gaining a following in places as far as the Independent Isles. The Knights of the Unicorn are chivalric adventurers who follow romantic ideals: life is to be relished and lived with laughter, quests should be taken on a dare, impossible dreams should be pursued for the sheer wonder of their completion, and everyone should be praised for their strengths and comforted in their weaknesses.

If questioned about this select group Bertie will regale you with any number of somewhat implausible sounding past exploits (you have been warned), he is however surprisingly coy about certain details about his past.

## Shenanigans

Bertie first appeared in *A Taxing Business* as an NPC, who was rescued by and aided the heroes in the climactic fight after having been disassembled and locked in a highly secure broom closet.

His first real adventure was in *Hounded by History*, wherein he befriended Virgil and Clerc while answering a call for help by a family, who are being repeatedly assaulted by demonic hounds due to a pact made long, long ago...
