Description

Samuel Gibson stands at 6' 1'' with the typical slight elven build and sharp and stern features. His hair is brown, short and unruly. He wears dark green leather armor which is heavily battle damaged, with a large number of blades worn on his belt along with a longbow and large rectangular shield on his back. He has gone out of his way to effect the look of an old hard bitten woodsman and thats exactly what he looks like.

Personality

A loner by preference Gibson struggles to deal with 'regular' people who are in turn put off by his quick temper, lack of social skills and tendency to resort of violence at the drop of a hat. Spending the years of a normal elven childhood in one battle or another have left him ill equipped for life in the world outside the military.

Despite this Gibson is protective of those he cannot live alongside freely offering aid to those in need of it and attempting to do no wrong to those who do not deserve it. His conduct is determined by his code of honor which while unspoken appears to be derived from the ideals of the knights found in stories of an earlier more noble age, that bards are so fond of. That these ideals are often near impossible to realize in the real world is the source of Gibson's greatest frustration and much of his built up anger.

Asside from his somewhat volatile personality Gibson is heavily struck with wanderlust and tends to roam the realms as he sees fit.

History

Samuel Gibson was born nearly a century and a half ago to a half elven father and an elven mother in the rural town of Nestwald then part of the 'Kingdom of Dragonswell' located roughly forty miles east of Elbulder and one of many kingdoms, principalities, dukedoms and other small nations that would be mostly wiped out by Chondath in seventy years time. Even at the time Dragonswell was famous for nothing aside from perhaps the quality of the mercenaries hailing from it, mainly heavy infantry and longbowmen known within its borders as Legionaries.

Gibson's early life was not easy. His mother died of a fever when he was still very young and while his father tried his best he didn't understand the slow development of an elven child. Growing physically and mentally slower than his peers he stood out from the group and was an easy target for ridicule, unsurprisingly he spend much of his childhood fighting. This wasn't considered a particular issue in a town where all boys began to train with the bow and shortsword from the age of eight but Gibson quickly distinguished himself as something very different.

By the age of thirteen the taunts and fights stopped. While lacking skill at fist fighting Gibson had inherited his fathers hardiness and his mothers speed but this had been combined with a fierce repressed anger of a proud boy forced to endure humiliating defeats and a bloody minded refusal to fall. Gibson's simply didn't go down, regardless of the punishment inflicted on him, he'd keep getting back up. In short Gibson gained the reputation of a complete psycho, a man not to cross. While this gained him an uneasy acceptance from his peers he only ever developed a few close friends who got past his reputation and temper.

Fortunately for Gibson his skill with the bow and sword along with his honorable nature earned him respect if not affection and on his sixteenth birthday was scouted along with several others of his village for the localy famous 3rd Legionary Free Company as a Yeoman Longbowman.

Over time Gibson progressed through the ranks distingishing himself as an archer, swordsman, officer and eventualy general.
