Chilchuck: Not-So-Friendly Neighborhood Divorcee

Chilchuck is a Half-foot with light skin, short auburn hair, and dark brown eyes. He is half the size of a typical tall-man featuring larger sized ears; which is common for his race. He is said to be tall for a half-foot, standing at 3'7, and is slender due to careful weight management.

For his typical daily attire, he wears a brown vest and green neck warmer over a white long-sleeved shirt, black pants, and leather boots.

To work, he usually drops the neck warmer. It doesn't quite match

Despite his looks Chilchuck is the oldest of his friend group with his age being the equivalent of a man in his 50's. As such, he is shown to be the most mature of the group and is often the voice of reason between the more eccentric ones of his friends. He is shrewd and practical, rarely taking jobs from people unless he is paid in advance. This behavior was learned from his experiences of being exploited as a Half-foot. He generally goes along with whatever the party does, but can speak frankly when they do something that can get them hurt.

His job as a bartender usually leaves him tired and angry, as that is only his night job. He is a locksmith during the day. When his friends ignore his warnings, he quickly becomes agitated.

He prefers to keep his private life separate from his work, so he doesn't tell his co-workers a lot about himself. This is consistent with his belief that the most common reason for office drama is interpersonal issues. He is also very guarded towards others due to his experiences with how easy relationships can go south, though he is still shown to be friendly and rely on them understanding the importance of harmony with in the group.

Chilchuck is also shown to enjoy alcohol, though he can be particularly picky about it. He enjoys ale and meed, and is shown to drink wine aswell.

Chilchuck utilizes his heightened senses in his work and to keep his friends out of trouble. His skills allow him to allocate his two large ears to help his group thrive amongst each other and help with the jobs they do and trips they make. His field of expertise is picking locks, but he also uses his sensitive hearing to listen in on harsh situations and his level head to mediate problems.

Chilchuck is also fairly adept at making maps and often dabbles in architectural work. He is highly respected as a spokesperson for half-foot rights. Chilchuck also dabbles in archery and has a collection of throwing knives in his office. Its right next to his wall of lockpicking tools.

Chilchuck views Laios, one of his tallman (this world's word to describe a normal human) friends as not normal due to his obsession with monsters and mythology. He does, however, somewhat reluctantly view him as a trusted friend.

Chilchuck sees Laios' lack of social awareness as a particular point of weakness in his leadership position, as he sees interpersonal issues as the most common reason for office drama.

However, he recognizes Laios's talents and skills. He will often go along with Laios's plans even if he doesn't fully agree with them. He considers him a close friend and understands he is a good person though he doesn't hesitate to chastise or correct Laios when he makes a blunder.

Chilchuck views Marcille, his elf friend, as "the friend who cannot shut up" and gets easily annoyed by her interest in his life, particularly the way she romanticizes his relationship with his ex-wife and children. In turn, he finds entertainment in messing with her, expecting her to get flustered and whine whenever he teases her. Marcille is also studying bioengineering, hoping to become a biomed researcher.

Despite their occasional friction, he does worry about her and rushes to her aid whenever necessary. In spite of his teasing and snark, he believes everyone is lucky to have her with them.

Chilchuck views Senshi, the friend group's new dwarf, as a skilled cook and capable man. Chilchuck also expresses respect for Senshi, even admitting he envies how he looks and wishing he could gain as much respect from others as Senshi does. Despite that he is often frustrated by Senshi's habit of treating him like a kid.

Chilchuck and Namari, the group's ex dwarf, have a similar outlook on life. He sees her as the easiest one to talk to out of the group. The two are depicted as drinking buddies and still often hang out. Namari goes to the bar he works at at night to chat sometimes.

Chilchuck views Falin, Laios' sister, as a sweet girl. Despite this, he finds her just as odd as her brother. She is studying to become an entomologist and often asks the group to accompany her on field research trips. Falin once got lost and everyone had to tag along to save her. It was (sadly) and unforgettable experience.

Chilchuck was born in a small village in a basin northeast of the Island. After getting divorced, he moved so he could start doing business like: lock-picking, language interpreting, mediating, and item appraisals.

At 13 (the age of maturity for half foots being 14), Chilchuck got married and had three daughters, Meijack, Flertom and Puckpatti. Due to Chilchuck's reluctance to be emotionally open with his wife, she left with their children and has not seen him for many years. Despite this, one of his daughters (Flertom) has sent him letters informing him of their lives. They both consider eachother their exs.

He also has a leadership position among the Half-foot population and often advises other Half-foot individuals to run contracts by the guild before they sign. He charges a mediation fee for this service. Chilchuck created this guild to prevent the exploitation and undervaluation of Half-foots as disposable sacrifices. This was likely put in place after he narrowly escaped being exploited, undercompensated, and discredited for his work.

Chilchuck is very fond of alcohol, especially ale but also wine. His least favorite type of foods are sweet side dishes. He REALLY loves grilling. Chilchuck is able to speak a language aside from the common tongue. Chilchuck has not seen his ex-wife or children for several years, although he is in contact with one of his daughters, Flertom. He plans to meet his daughters again some time. Chilchuck has some gray streaks in his hair. Chilchuck's father died of alcoholism. Chilchuck has been shown not being able to go to sleep due to hunger and mentions bitterly that he used to be fine with not eating for two days. His profile in The Adventurer’s Bible confirms that he does rigorous weight management. Combined with his stated BMI of 18, Chilchuck seems to be underweight. In terms of modern-day humans, Chilchuck is about fifty years old. Funnily enough, this would make him older than Senshi who would be 44 in terms of modern day humans. A recurring joke in the beginning was Senshi frequently seeing and treating Chilchuck as the youngest of the group going so far as to give him "the birds and the bees talk" (to a horrified Chilchuck) despite the fact that Chilchuck is technically the oldest. Senshi owns the bar Chilchuck works at. Its mostly a restaurant, but doubles as a tavern at night. Chilchuck enjoys it since he gets free food and wine. Chilchuck owns his own locksmithing business and he insists that it will be passed onto his eldest daughter, Meijack. She isn't against the idea, and is actually quite skilled in her father's craft. Chilchuck is trying to be more emotionally available, but he is still no good at it. He either starts people pleasing or being an asshole and he can't really find that inbetween. Its another reason he drinks. Chilchuck's ex-wife keeps sending him divorce papers. He assumes that she is trying to remarry, and refuses to touch any of them until she comes to him. Chilchuck isn't in love with his ex-wife, but seems to continue grieving the loss. He doesn't know what exactly he did wrong, outside of being emotionally unavailable and it bothers him. It is why he is hesitant to be in a new relationship.
