==Feats/Features==
'''Telepathic:''' 60'/LOS/Creature must know your language to understand.
:: '''Detect Thoughts:''' Once per Long Rest

'''Deft Explorer:''' Canny | '''Favorite Enemy:'''  Orcs/Goblins 

 '''Note:''' The feat is from Tasha's [p81]. The character sheet version is written in shorthand, but I am aware of the limitations described in the full text.

 '''Note:''' Most of my class and race features (ability bonuses, languages, etc) are wherever they make most sense on the character sheet, and they pretty much all come from the PHB except that I would rather use '''Deft Explorer''' [Tasha's p56] in place of the original '''Natural Explorer''' [PHB p91], but I'd like to ''keep'' the original '''Favored Enemy''' feature from the PHB rather than '''Favored Foe''' from Tasha's - if that's ok.

'''Gaming Set:''' Dice | '''Tools:''' Cartographer

'''Spoken/Written Languages:''' Common | Dwarvish | Elvish | Gnomish | Goblin | Halfling | Orcish
----
 '''Note:''' The '''Bolded Skills''' are proficient skills. Athletics and Intimidation are from the Soldier Background [PHB 140]. Insight, Investigation, and Perception are from the Ranger Class Skills [PHB p90], but Perception gets double proficiency per ''Canny'' under Deft Explorer [Tasha's p56]. Deception and Stealth are player picks per half elf Racial Features [PHB p39]

 '''Note:''' Because of his specific specialty/role as a Scout (Soldier Background) I swapped out Tool: Land Vehicles for Tool: Cartographer's Tools (mapmaking) if you're ok with that.

 '''Note:''' I got aggressive with the languages for this character concept. Common, Dwarf, and Elf are all half elf features [PHB p39]. Gnomish and Halfling are from ''Canny'' under Deft Explorer [Tasha's p 56]. And finally, Goblin and Orc are from Favored Enemy [PHB p91]. I'm guessing these will likely see very little in the way of practical use, but they're part of my headcannon tying his feat into his background (below).

==Wealth/Equipment==
Battleaxe (carried) | Hand Axe (belt) | Dagger (belt) | Scale Armor (worn) | Wooden Shield (carried) | Explorer's Pack (bedroll, mess kit, tinder box, torches [10], rations [10d], waterskin, 50' hempen rope, spare clothes) | Iron Sergeant's Bars (worn) | Burnt and Torn War Flag of the Ur'Kai'Na clan (Orc) who slew Yancy's captain in his tent in the night (bottom of pack) | Bone Dice (pouch) | '''23 gp''' (pouch)

 '''Note:''' I used standard gear by class [PHB p90-91] but found the choices heavily presumed Archer/Dual Wield Ranger builds, which my character is neither. So I sold the 2 short swords, the longbow, and the 20 arrows back to the house at half their listed value [45g] and used those funds (plus the 10g from background) to procure a battleaxe, a hand axe, a dagger, and a shield. The rest of the list came from class or background with 23g left over. Armor, weapon, and ammo values PHB [p145-150].

===Backstory=== 
:My mother is an elf, old by human standards, but still in her prime as her people count such things. She lies and tells me my father was a human soldier - a captain - who perished in a war on the border, and I let her believe I believe her, because I am a good son.

:But my hair grows wild and paints the sky like fire in a way that no human's would, and my beard writhes earthward as if it longs to find and feel bedrock no mater how I trim it.

:My eyes are black as a vein of iron before it's been mined.

:I joined the army as a scout as much to escape my mother's lies as to honor them, but despite my prominent elvish ears - the one feature I inherited from her - none of my fellow soldiers ever saw me as a half elf. To them I was the ''halfdwarven''.

:Not to my face. I was respected in the ranks. Yancy or Blue to my peers and superiors. Sergeant to those beneath me in rank. 

:My life as a soldier is over, but I learned much during my time as a scout. Not just that I am a good tracker, but that I am good with people, learning their languages and customs like one born among them - even those I would as soon bury my axes in as look at.

:See, I can see into their minds. I saw into my mother's mind. I know my father's name. I know why she lies about him. I know . . . well, maybe I don't know ''that'', precisely, but I know what I ''intend''. . . should the day ever come.

 '''Note:''' The halfdwarven thing is narrative flavor with no mechanical weight. Yancy is statted out as a Half Elf (but using the Ability Score Increase option from Tasha's [p7] to swap Charisma for Strength as his primary (+2) ability as mentioned above).
