Shin Everett

Shin is a 32 year old human swordsman working as a bounty hunter. He's struggled to find himself and determine just what he wants to do with his life, and as such has spent the last 16 years of his life on the road ; traveling between city to city, country to country. Wherever the next job took him, he called home until it was time to move on.

Like him, his father was a bounty hunter. Unfortunately, this is all he knows of his father. After he left without knowing that he had a son on the way, his mother raised him as best as she could until she was killed in a raid on their village by orcs. At age 7, Shin was made an orphan and was forced to survive on his own.

Shin is a quiet and reserved individual, tending to keep to himself for the most part. He has no trouble working with others, as he is rather level headed and is capable of keeping himself calm. Recently, he has begun to ease up, letting himself talk and act much more casually than before.

In recent months, Shin has found himself contemplating his purpose, struggling to find his own once he inevitably stops travelling and working, unless he ends up getting himself killed before that time comes.

Appearance
Shin is a tall, well-built man with grey hair and red eyes. While he recently sported a full body set of armor to protect himself out working, he has opted to downgrade to a set of chainmail and leather beneath his clothing, to allow himself easier movement and mobility. He has a single leather scabbard hanging from the right side of his belt to hold his sword ━ one which is replaced often.

When he is not working, he is usually seen in a simple white or grey shirt with brown or black pants. He always has a scabbard with a sword on his hip, as well as a coin pouch hanging off of his belt over his right hip.

Biography
Shin was born to a single mother in South Warren, a remote and now wiped out village in the southern regions of Negame. All he knew of his father was that he was an bounty hunter who had passed through the village for a couple of nights on work, and he had gotten friendly with his mother in particular. Before she realized she was pregnant, he was gone and she had no idea where she could find him. After seven years of a rather calm and easy life, his village was attacked by a group of orcs, slaughtering nearly everybody. He and one other villager managed to survive, and this villager took him to a nearby town where he would be safe.

He grew up there as an orphan, beginning work at the early age of 9 as a blacksmith’s assistant. By the time he was 14, he was working on his own after mastering his craft, and he made his first sword. At the age of 16, Shin left his job as a blacksmith and went on to become a bounty hunter, after having spent 2 years training himself with a sword. He bought himself a cheap set of armor and went straight to work.

During his travels, he returned to the ruins of his old village and began work to rebuild his old home to be used should he ever be passing through the area. Primarily, he lives in the first inn he stumbles upon in any given town.

Personality
Shin is a quiet and level headed individual who relies mostly on intuition. He may come off cold to people he has just met, but he is a kind man once you get to know him.

Skills and Abilities
Due to his years spent working as a blacksmith, he has a good understanding of the trade and is capable of making decent tools and weapons. Thanks to this knowledge, he often stops by a shop to repair his blade as opposed to buying or making another one.

Shin specializes in using a one-handed sword along with a one handed shield for defense.

He is not very knowledgeable about magic, only being able to cast a small range of fire spells, which he typically finds uses for outside of battle.
