John Godfrey (WIP)

[John Godfrey]

PC Name: John Godfrey
Physical Information (Required)
Human
Season of Fall, Day 85, AV 462. 50 years old.
Male


Physical Description:
John stands 5'8 with a lithe, athletic figure. Pale, and seemingly malnourished, he still holds on to some muscle beneath his tired, dirty clothing. He walks like a soldier, but seems more akin to a beggar, vagabond, or bandit than a real soldier. Aside from a body that seems to have been racked by drinking and whoring, his body does not betray his age. His hair only shows traces of gray in his beard that hint at an older age. He bears a nasty scar down the right side of his face, that left his right eye milky white and useless. He can only see out of his left eye, but he manages his business despite the handicap. He also has a scar across the bridge of his nose, and down the left side of his cheek beside his nose. These, other miscellaneous scars on his body,
and a heirloom bastard sword in a baldric across his back are the few subtle notes that this man was once something other than a drunk. Aside from his sword, his clothing is very simple in the way of boots, pantaloons, tunic, and a leather jacket that serves him as armor, and a messenger back with his effects, particularly a smoke pouch and bottle of liquor.


Character Concept (Optional But Recommended)
Personality – Utterly unapproachable, unless money can be made of it. John Godfrey is by no means pleasant. Having no love for the just or unjust, he has no qualms with drawing blood from anyone. Though he spent most of his life poor, one would think he would have problems subjugating the less fortunate, but this is not true. Although, those who have contracted him to do just that have found themselves double-crossed shortly after.
Ethics – If it puts money in his pocket, John will find a way to justify it. Though addled by alcohol and other substances, he retains a sharp wit that could make a lawdspawn of a maiden, or vice versa, depending on what made him the most mizas. Often both, if possible, to double his payout.
Likes – John likes talking circles around his adversary, whether it's complete and utter nonsense or a viable point to trip up his foes, but not so much as drawing steel and cutting them to bloody ribbons. The clink of gold coins is music to this man's ears.
Dislikes – John cannot stand being watched, paranoia racks him about being double crossed or spied upon despite that being his mainstay. He absolutely distrusts honest people.


Character History (Optional But Recommended)
Pre-Creation – John was born to a poor family in Ravok and spent most of his younger years as a child would. Hard times struck his family, as illness took most of them, and poverty left the rest hungry. In an attempt to make money, and fill his belly, John took up with a group of robbers and thieves. Unfortunately, in pursuit of a group of traders, they came across a patrol of Syliran knights. The bandits were destroyed, though John escaped, and he spent the rest of his days since then as a soldier of fortune.
Post Creation – John shall spend his days ever trying to find ways to make money using his sword, and spending it on new ways to defile himself. Unless something changes, he'll spend his days as a sellsword and vagabond. Possibly a bodyguard, or return to his old ways as a bandit.
