Love from the Linden Trees

Have you guessed the reference?

Aw, you're no fun.

Anyway, Linden is ridiculous. But, despite being ridiculous, he is kind of badass. I'll let you decide.

Description

Love from the Linden Trees is an attractive man with floppy auburn hair and green eyes. He has tanned, almost olive skin, and is most likely of Eastern descent. He won't tell where he's really from, of course -- he likes an air of mystery about him (it helps him get the girls). He wears nicely tailored (if a little threadbare) clothing in flattering colors and styles, and he has a large hat with a big feather he wears when he's being 'dramatic.' He plays up his looks as often as he can, and his smile is impossibly charming.

Personality

Linden is a struggling performer, lately of Nexus, and he loves being the center of attention in any way possible. He flirts constantly and eats like a starving animal, and will never turn down a request for a song, even if he doesn't know it. Improvisation is one of his talents. He also dabbles in banditry on the side (he prefers the term 'highwayman,' though), secure enough in his sword skills to challenge wealthy merchants on their way out of town.

Underneath it all, though, he's kind of lonely. His only real friend is his familiar, a chestnut stallion named Picasso -- everyone else always leaves him in the end, despite his best efforts to keep them around. He puts on a brave face, however, and gets through life with a smile and a fast horse.
