Merchant man Crossing is the name this man most often responds to. Often found wandering from one place to another to peddle his goods. A small cart filled with random trinkets of all kinds. Some of the bedazzling sort, made to give off the glimmer of gold even if the item itself is worthless. All the way down to the mundane, wooden cups and plates he claims unbreakable, unburnable and best of all; self washing.
It's a hit or a miss when you shop from the cart of the man, he accepts any sort of currency and has been well known to accept underwhelming trades for things of worth on his cart; he believes that any item, regardless of it's appearance or purpose is a treasure to someone and it's all about finding the correct host.
Of course; how he keeps his cart so well stocked is a guess to anyone. Long running bandit camps have been known to evaporate overnight when Crossing came about, most townspeople assuming the bandits just up and left due to the darker stories told of the calm and collected merchant. Tales of him walking alone into armies of battle hardened warriors and returning home without a mark on his person and the army nowhere to be found. Entire kingdoms falling under the 'might' of a single man.
These stories...have some truth to them. On top of being a merchant of questionable goods, Crossing has an eye for magic trinkets. In his travels he's collected a wide variety of them, some well know and others not so much. However, Crossing's personal favorite trinket is the Diminishing Scepter. Using it for a wide variety of things, it's the only item he really keeps on his body at all times. From the practical uses to the malicious.
So if you've got something of worth, or maybe you need a new pin to flash up your jacket, stop by Crossing's cart, you never know what you may find.
Current Trinkets in use:
Diminishing Scepter
Crossing's current favorite 'toy', a scepter of a simple build, a azure colored rod with decorative golden stripes running along the sides leading up to a small emerald colored crystal crown. The rod itself is about the size of a common torch and when it's about to be activated emits a powerful light from the tip and focuses an orb in the direction of it's target. Once touched this orb will proceed to siphon the size of the target until reaching a designated size as dictated by Crossing.
He finds he enjoys making people the size of mice but on particular occasions has been known to very well remove people from visible eye range and leaving them to fend for themselves. Those cursed to such a fate for either stepping on the toes of the merchant or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time never survive long in a world where even ants are towering titans.
The ring of the Ferryman
By some strange twist or another, Crossing has come into possession of a ring that grants a choice over life or death. Adorned on the thumb of his left hand; this ring alone keeps the age of the merchant frozen in time at the price of sacrifice. It's a common curse that Crossing seems to have no issue with. Finding the most beautiful maidens and after a short battle. (More often than not leaving said women at pathetic sizes.) Crossing first consumes their body and then the ring will consume their soul and with a yearly debt paid, Crossing remains as youthful as ever.
The Ivory lamp
Crossing claims this lamp once held the most powerful genie in all of existence, but after breaking free from the control of his last master the genie was banished to another realm. Leaving behind only this beautifully crafted lamp. Whenever he picks it up, he always uses a cloth and seems all but too excited whenever someone takes interest in it. It's obvious there is something strange about this lamp and Crossing is in a rush to get rid of it.
Current 'Defeated' trinkets:
SheelaTheLombax : After a short encounter and Crossing finding he liked the goggles Sheela wore, he decided to shrink her away with his Scepter and make a quick snack out of her. As he never learned her name he couldn't make anything too personal out of her and on his cart a small golden figure of Sheela stands a look of fear plastered on her molded face.
Other tidbits
For every person Crossing consumes, he likes to leave a small memento of them on his cart in some way shape or form. (Think of it as those fancy score cards only with a bit more personalization. On request you won't be added.)
Crossing is predominantly a Pred character, if I'm ever in the mood to be prey it'll be far and few between. I also greatly prefer Micro/Macro play to anything else. I'm willing to play just about anything but will be more inclined to do so with beings who are already small or have no issue with size change antics.
I enjoy every type of scene just as much as another and am fine with doing instances without vore or anything of that sort.
Picture of course not mine and will be removed upon request or once I get some personal art done of Crossing.
