Character Concept
"Sometimes good people do terrible things..."
Sh'Ky is a dark-looking man, with his hair almost about his eyebrows, and shadows cast easily across his face. This isn't to say that he isn't attractive, however. His piercing blue eyes are somewhat of a contrast to his dark hair, and his tan skin. He usually can be seen wearing gray clothing, although his wardrobe is usually complimented with crimson.

Views
Life Tries to make the most of is life, but in Sunberth, this is hard. He has the feeling that there's something.. more to life than this, but he doesn't know what. Right now, he is focused on avenging Rastia's death, and Caiden's betrayal.
Death He's downright terrified of dying, and Dira is really the only goddess he respects, because he's afraid of her. He doesn't care.
Religion As stated before, doesn't like the gods and doesn't disrespect them, but views their worshipers with disdain.
Magic He's somewhat afraid of magic, but views it as a tool, not an unknown force.
Law He's from Sunberth. He dislikes any form of laws, like the rest of them, and this could get him into trouble when he goes to a city with laws.They get in the way of revenge. They're useless.
Orientation He doesn't really care. To him, gender doesn't matter, but he's more likely to love a woman, rather than a man. Isn't interested right now.

Character History (Pre-Creation)
Sh'Ky grew up an orphan, not an uncommon occurrence in Sunberth, but this orphan had set his sights on something better than a miserable existence in a putrid dust bowl. When he was twelve, he was taken in by a kindly old man, who died in his sleep, only three days after. Then, his house was mysteriously looted and burned. 'Ky was nowhere to be found. When he was eighteen, he convinced a harlot to have a drink with him, which he spiked with Funkus. Then he robbed her blind, leaving her only with the clothes on her back, and her home. This pattern continued, Sh'Ky Naes gaining the trust of people, then robbing or abandoning them. The only person he cared about was called Rastia, a woman with skills similar to his own. She died five years before his 28th birthday. Overall, this makes 'Ky a very lonely man.
