Forester Character Sheet!

Forester!
Attention-craving showoff Fred Knobel was a trick-shot archer for a Renaissance Faire when he was approached by the blind, master Zen bowman (and former Freedom Force member), the Marksman. The Marksman opened Knobel’s mind to a larger world and to a greater understanding of his place in it through extensive training in Haven, the Marksman’s secret dojo in the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest. A natural student with considerable potential, Knobel nevertheless proved impetuous and undisciplined, and his broke training with his beloved master. Now, Knobel combines his ethical imperative to help others with his deep desire for public adoration as Forester!
