"The character's name is Jackson and he is a male halfling rogue. Jackson isn't stout like some halflings, he is 4'2 with green eyes and wild brown hair. His hair is wild because he has sort of a "Coolio" style hair, he has dreadlocks a little longer than medium size length that stick up from his head going in all directions. Jackson is not a scrawey little halfling, he has had his fair share of adventuring and is fairly nicely muscle toned. (But not a body building muscle tone.) He looks to be about 25 years of human age.

Like I said before, Jackson has been around and has aquired some nice things. He wields in his right hand a Flaming vorpal sickle, it is a small weapon, but fits a person of his size just fine. In his left hand he holds a flaming burst punching dagger. Around one of his legs he has a belt like thing which he uses to hold throwing daggers in. This leg belt sheeves each dagger individualy all around his leg. He has very impressive looking magic studded leather armor. On his back is a "cloak of the bat" (If you can think of any way to make it look like it represents a bat that would be cool, otherwise its just very dark black.) Over his cloak he has a backpack which looks like a normal leather backpack with an extra pouch sewed in the each side. In the portrait, I would like the backpack's flap open on top with my pet ferret, Max, poking his head out with a big grin on its face and maybe some of his toungue showing like he is very excited.

As for Jackson's personality, Jackson is a neutral evil character, he is also a rogue, this means all he really cares about is treasure. Jackson loves treasure more than anything, he is also very cocky and thinks he is better than everyone. I think it would be approprate for Jackson to have an evil/cocky smirk on his face, also to have treasure around him."
