At first glance you'd think him a viking. His head is adorned with long braided blonde hair, the same hair on just about every other part of his body. He has a pair of green eyes on an otherwise average face. He looks comfortable for his height, and though he often stays in a noticeable crouch you'd think him more or less common. His uniform is slowly being covered in more simple remedies as he tries to fix broken straps with fresh leather, clasps with teeth and string, and the like. the most noticeable item about him is a finely crafted chainsword, poorly clasped to the side of a poorly homemade leather belt. Most of the leather about him has an oddly golden sheen, almost like fine silk, that glints as the sun crosses it. The same leather ties the braids in his hair and the clasps around his wrists. If you ask, he would gladly tell you they came from the most grand hunt on his homeworld, and are tokens of his status, not to be taken lightly.

Personality:
The small hunch to Karsith's walk is accented by his constant odd behaviours. he often picks moss off trees to smell or taste it, grinds up grass to put in his recaff, or suddenly goes completely silent. He jumps at the prospect of proving himself, and often runs into battle with an unsettling grin to his face, eager to show his prowess to those that might know him as more than a bastard. The name bastard always puts him into a spiteful rage, quickly followed by the very angered thrashing more akin to a three year old, except with more knives.

Background:
The proud son of a Silken Wolf hunter, Karsith would spend many days watching his father, and learning of his dangerous trade. They would play games of hide and hunt, practices of stealth, or lessons of honoring animals. He was quite happy back then, him and his father were untouchable. But as with all good things, his father came to a very bloody and gruesome end at the hands of his prey. He may rest in a better place, Emperor provides, but he could never keep his son from the years of destructive rampages that were to come. Broken by the death of his father, Karsith could do no more than accept that his father had failed his people, one of the best hunters couldn't live to provide the lifeblood to their small outpost. He would redeem his family name, and decided to go hunting himself. At sixteen, he left for his first expedition. On the first night's rest, Karsith left, and in the morning, the hides of two of the twelve foot beasts hung on handmade racks to dry in the sun, and their meat was cut in a bowl for the rest of the hunters.

The Imperium soon caught wind of his exploits and had him taken up to fight in the Guard. Shortly lived, the man of now eighteen was once erringly called a bastard by one of his late squadmates. The Guard would've executed him there had he not destroyed the opposing heretic camp that same night in the continuing storm of rage. Now he has nothing more than a fancy chainsword, tasked with bearing a sentence of agonizing irony.

I figured I'd toss some goals in now:

1. To reinstate the Karsith family name. After his father's death, the family title became Karsith's only name. He hopes to eventually gain a stable home and children, to restart his dead family and honor his father.
2. Fame. An important part of Karsith's original culture was recognition, and now that his family is completely gone from his homeworld, he desires to rebuild their honor and pride wherever he may settle down.
3. Repayment. Until he's fully repaid his debts to the people in the 7th who've saved his life, Karsith won't allow himself to be separated from them.

1) A worthy goal. Obviously long term. This will be an interesting one to tackle. Karsith's interaction game will need to be on point to gain a woman willing to deal with his shit. But who knows, it could be a Bastard or a Chindit or - hopefully - some barbarian lady NPC from a feudal world he must woo and then convince to bring back aboard The Hudson. I prefer the last because it would take a lot of good rolls and really earn the XP that comes with it.

2) Short term version of goal number one. Winning fame will be easy enough as long as you do awesome, heroic shit around people who don't really know you. Good goal.

3) This is a good idea, but still pretty vague. It isn't necessarily a bad thing because it is malleable and gives us some wiggle room, but I am thinking you need to think about who specifically you want to repay and cater each repayment to the individual involved. They may want something, ask favors of you, or want nothing at all - in which case how do you repay it? Could be really interesting.

XP advances (finally):
-Strength (intermediate, 250)
-Agility (simple, 100)
-Agility (intermediate, 250)
-Step Aside (600)
-Blade Master (600)

Everything was good except your blade master purchase; you actually do have both aptitudes for that, so it only cost you 400 rather than 600. You have 275xp remaining.

Go ahead and add your goals (updated hopefully) to your PC sheet just under your demeanor. Also place your awards/medals on there somewhere as well.
