Name:Mr. Wednesday
Birthdate:Jan 9
[ic physical description (for those of you looking for one)]
6'2", red-to-greying hair and close-cut beard, one grey eye and one glass eye. Wears either a cream or dark grey coloured suit, with a dark grey silk tie. The tie pin is silver, intricate, in the shape of a tree, including it's roots, which branch off into three directions.

For those who are sensitive to such things, yes he is a god. No, he won't readily walk up and say so.

-----------------------------

I am known by many names, but why don't you call me Wednesday?



"I know a charm that can cure pain and sickness, and lift the grief from the heart of the grieving.

"I know a charm that will heal with a touch.

"I know a charm that will turn aside the weapons of an enemy.

"I know another charm to free myself from all bonds and locks.

"A fifth charm: I can catch an arrow in flight and take no harm from it.

"A sixth: spells sent to hurt me will hurt only the sender.

"A seventh charm I know: I can quench fire simply by looking at it.

"An eighth: if any man hates me, I can win his friendship.

"A ninth: I can sing the wind to sleep and calm a storm for long enough to bring a ship to shore.

"For a tenth charm, I learned to dispel witches, to spin them around in the skies so that they will never find their way back to their own doors again.

"An eleventh: if I sing it when a battle rages it can take warriors through the tumult unscathed and unhurt, and bring them safely back to their hearths and their homes.

"A twelfth charm I know: if I see a hanged man I can bring him down from the gallows to whisper to us all he remembers.

"A thirteenth: if I sprinkle water on a child's head, that child will not fall in battle.

"A fourteenth: I know the names of all the gods. Every damned one of them.

"A fifteenth: I have a dream of power, of glory, and of wisdom, and I can make people believe my dreams.

"A sixteenth charm I know: if I need love I can turn the mind and heart of any woman.

"A seventeenth, that no woman I want will ever want another.

"And I know an eighteenth charm, and that charm is the greatest of all, and that charm I can tell to no man, for a secret that no one knows but you is the most powerful secret there can ever be."
