Garrett Skinner

Appearance

Name: Garrett Skinner
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Birthday: 19th of Winter, AV 485
Birthplace: Kenash

Appearance: He stood around five foot ten, perhaps an inch more though it mattered little since he sported a slim, wiry frame that meant most of the clothes he own hung shapelessly of it, not helping him cut an intimidating figure. His face often appeared stern, mainly because his thin, dark brow was furrowed into a sombre frown while his swampy greens eyes often fixated on whomever was in front of him, unnerving most people unintentionally.

His angular jaw was often graced with a fine, brown stubble though he often kept his facial hair in check to avoid it developing into a full blown beard while his hair formed an unkempt nest atop his crown. Often twigs and leaves could be found strewn throughout, more a result of his job then lack attention, while dirt was frequently smeared across his skin. Finnaly he had a tanned complexion, a result of the fierce Kenashian sun while faint freckles could be seen across his nose and cheeks if someone stood close enough.

Character Concept

Garrett is a freeborn and as such walks the perilous tightrope between the slaves and Dynasties of Kenash. Losing your balance or walking to fast could spell disaster, so whenever Kenash is involved, especially the Dynasties, he tends to act cautiously, unwilling to make mistakes. Out in the wilderness though danger was what he craved, he lived for the hunt and the freedom that came with it. In a city where the freeborn were not truly free he had come to love the swamps around Kenash.

While he could appear sombre at times it was more likely to do with the company he was in rather than the man himself. Amongst the right people, with drink flowing and weed burning, he was as quick as any man with a joke or an offer to pitch in for the next round. It was around strangers his tongue became sharper, his words more scathing and sarcastic, it was his natural response. Time has proven itself repeatedly to be the best method with this man; few of his friends can claim to be incredibly useful to him, none of them sporting incredible skills in any field and instead they were drinking buddies, longstanding hunters and even gnarled old beggars who have refused to move on.

Morals and ethics tend to waver within this man. The life of a freeborn and a Sunberthian was a perilous one and many who had managed to live to a respectable age cannot claim to have had only easy decisions in their time and Garret has no choice but to follow this trend. He finds himself constantly fighting with the decision he makes and he carries a lot of regret on his shoulders that he truthfully wants to unload but that is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Character History

Garrett was born on the 17th of Winter, AV 484 in the shithole that was Sunberth to Jon Skinner and his wife Sara. They were a happily married couple, both sporting Cheva marks to show their exchanged vows. Jon was the one the hunters who was charged with supplying the finer foods to the richer citizens of Sunberth while Sara was a simple seamstress in the city.

Garrett wasn't their first child, that was taken by a sickly babe called Lysa but she was unfit for life, being a small, weak child who Dira claimed before the child had even seen the change of the seasons. But they were all too aware that life was fleeting in Sunberth, so quickly after they had grieved for the child a new one was conceived and this one was more promising. The child was strong, healthy and full of life, this child was Garrett.

He followed in his father's footsteps, learning the trade of the hunter from his as he grew up. It was something he found he loved to do and as he got older it looked like it was going to be a promising career for the young lad. Unfortunately everyone has a vice and for Garrett it was gambling, that was his rush and pleasure, matching his enthusiasm for the hunt. It was a shame that he couldn't handle his drink, he couldn't control his mouth and he just didn't know when to stop. Fortunately this was in an age where Goldfinger didn't have complete monopoly of all the money lenders in Sunberth he never found himself owing money to someone who controlled Sunberth but he did find himself owing a fair few Mizas to a man who knew how to wield a sword when backed up by a few mates so Garrett felt it best for his family, his friends and most importantly his own skin.

With time to rethink his plan in life, several seasons in fact, he eventually rolled up to Kenash in the Summer of AV 514.
