Viti Painter

Background
Parents are named Ashley and Leonardo, middleclass waterdhavians. He wanted to be an artist, but his parents wanted him to go to college. Halfway into his mentorships with Dragontello, I sold one painting. This gave me the confidence in myself that I needed to uproot from my life, leave the city for the first time and come to Icewind Dale to get some better inspiration. I came to Icewind Dale to paint the sea of moving ice, but that didn't pan out well. He has since learned that the roads can be dangerous, but leaving the beaten path is akin to signing your own death warrant.

Pre-game
He was camping off the roads of the ten towns when he was attacked by the local wildlife. Thankfully Atiq was around, having seen that some idiot had a large fire and attracted attention. Atiq assisted Viti in fending off his assailants and the two have been inseparable, or at least Viti feels a deep connection with Atiq. Since, the two have traveled together briefly, most recently finding refuge in the Northlook tavern where Viti has found inspiration for a new art piece.

Personality
Outgoing and easily impressed, Viti is not picky with his friends. Viti is content to listen to the exploits of those around him, but if asked he will share endlessly his own relatively mild achievements. Despite being only a budding artist, Viti is dedicated to his craft and determined to improve.

Appearance
A golden dragonborn with a striking appearance. Though quite small for his people, he is average height and build by normal metrics. His scale are carefully maintained to have a reflective sheen, sometimes to a degree that makes them tiring to look at, not unlike snow reflecting the sun. He always appears excited, almost itching to start on what he would call his net great adventure.

Atiqtaaliq Akuunathi
Currently is very happy to have someone to travel with. A social creature by nature, solitude was weighing on him as he camped alone. Atiq made a strong impression, saving him from the wildlife and such. As he had not had anyone happily help him by this point, having Atiq around was a nice change of pace for Viti. Talkative as he is, around Atiq, just having someone who has his back sets him at ease, especially when they are as competent as Atiq has proven to be.

People of Icewind Dale
Viti has not had the most warm reception by the people of Icewind Dale in his mind. Nobody here had heard of him or his art work, so he was quite saddened, but this is not so horrible as they don't seem to be art lovers in general. The lack of open support for his journeys is also humbling, as he expected to have fans to accompany him out to his painting area.

Items of Note
A large backpack contains his supplies, with a spear strapped to either side. A large easel takes up the rest of the outside space on the backpack. Below the backpack several small glass containers of paint hang.
