On paper: knight, mage, artisan.
Appearance
Of average height and sporting an aged beard, Rupaka's features boast a prominent nose and long, drooping ears pierced with a number of intricate rings and studs. His shoulders are broad from recent trainings with his overall build suggesting his former occupation as a paper crafter; indeed, calloused hands, forearms as thick as the bark he churns into pulp, and almost delicate fingers from yearlong use of precision tools.

The Paper Mage - a learned spellcrafter, Rupaka uses the paper he so lovingly crafts as a medium for the magicks of the Loch. Minor illusions, the conjuration of water, the transmutation of wood to pulp to ease in the making of the very papers he uses. He boasts a panoply of small spells, each channeled through a runic scrawl of pen to paper.
To Prune the Blight - where a rotted tree might falter and be rendered useless in his craft, Rupaka pursued the magicks of Death in pruning these bits so that some small core of the material may be used. In this, he found a certasin satisfaction in cleansing Blight, in sanctifying life as it lays about the Wyld.
Personality
Soft smiles and airy speech often accompany the aging knight, and he carries himself much the same as he delivers his humors: slow, staccato, measured of manner.
