I'm afraid I lost my eyesight long ago. What do you look like?
*takes your money knowing you can't see him* I don't like using mirrors, so I can't really describe my face, but I can tell you this...*feels hair* short *plucks a strand out* Ow!...black *looks at hands* long, slender, pale skin nearly snow white...I could probably even blend into the snowy surroundings *examines arms* look at those biceps! Oh, sorry, forgot you can't see *peeks down shirt* yes I've got a lot of muscle on me now *glances down at feet, lifting one at a time* legs, also long and slender, I can run quickly if need be *looks at apparel* clothing, worn, faded, covered in mud, also I'm wearing a chest plate and leg armor, light yet durable *feels helmet, which is actually a metal plated dragon skull* helmet: tough, fierce predatory, also while I have scars, they're very few, I'm pretty good at defending myself, tattoos: none, weapons: medium length sword, a crossbow, and a sling, I also keep a journal in a slot in my chest armor.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Well I'd say I'm an average sort of person, not really the kind to stand out of a crowd. My day is pretty average as well: get up, have breakfast, farm the land, take care of the yaks...and *laughs* that's a lie. I don't waste my time farming. I prefer a life of travel, braving terrible weather and fighting off those nasty winged creatures.
People say that I have a lively, energetic personality. And it's true! I'm always doing something and I've got a lot of interests. Hunting, for instance, or writing, I'm all over the place. Lately I've become interested in inventions. I love the outdoors, and I'm outside even in the worst weather. They also say I'm very playful and upbeat, joking around and being very flippant. I am the kind to poke fun at you at times, though you really shouldn't take it seriously. Though I'm not like that all the time. True to my tribe, I am a Berserker. Though that side of me rarely shows...only if you manage to truly enrage me. They also say that I'm kind of an eccentric weirdo and even childish at times. I don't deny it. Everyone seems to normal and mature to me by comparison. And due to me being, well, kind of an oddball, I can sometimes be unpredictable. No one really knows what goes on in my head. I prefer it that way. I also lie a lot, it's a compulsive behavior. Though I am honest, but it's always at the wrong time. I'm not the most ethical of people, and I can be pretty opportunistic.
I'm not very good socially. Not that I can't make nice coversation, but I don't read people well, and at times I can be insensitive and ignorant of other's feelings. I might come off as aloof at times, partly because of my social ineptitude, and partly because can't trust others. I don't really put faith in anyone but me. If I want something done, I'll go out and do it myself. Now, I'm not incapable of compassion, or totally desire a hermetic lifestyle. I do at times wish for a better social life...but I'm way too focused on my interests.
Speaking of study, while I may come across as scatterbrained at times, I'm actually pretty intelligent and knowledgeable for my age. I can remember a lot of things, mostly 'cause my memory's so good. I tend to study things and keep notes and I often come up with ideas, for example riding dragons instead of just killing them. Hopefully it's just a rumor that the Berkians have already started doing it. I really don't like it when other people get there before me. I left the Berserkers some time after they gained new management so I haven't been able to keep up with current events.
I have a lot of ambition and a lot of persistance. I am literally incapable of giving up. It'd be easier to find a flock of night furies than it is to make me give in. I let nothing and no one get in my way. I'm intellectual and yet I'm also incredibly tough. Of course you have to be living up here. I'm proud of my strength considering how weak and scrawny I used to be. As a Berserkian warrior can get a bit psychotic and axe-crazy, and I don't ever back down from fights. Though I'm not the kind to initiate them. I can be very ruthless in getting what I want. I fear nothing and I can be reckless and daring in situations.
On a final note, I like to give everyone I meet nicknames, I prefer those to real names.
Where do you come from?
I was born in a barn. No literally, one of those big wooden structures. Or at least that's where they found me. I never met my "real", my biological parents. They were probably outsiders. My mother must've been some merchant or something. She must've given birth on the ship and saw her visit to the Island of the Berserkers as a chance to discard her twins. The elderly couple who owned the barn took care of me and my sister till we grew up, then they both died within a month of each other. Sad. I...we...were around 10 at the time. We never got along and she was quickly adopted by another family. I...wasn't. I don't blame them. I wasn't as tough as my sister, too weak and sickly to be of any use, and they figured I'd go the way of my adoptive parents pretty soon. I even ended up wandering the streets.
Then I decided to change everything. I was tired of this lifestyle and opted for a better one. I took up any sport: swimming, running, anything. I even braved terrible conditions with a big grin on my face. My adoptive parents were old. Their time was over. But my time was just beginning. And others noticed. A nice couple down the street even offered to take me in. And I said no. I'd been rejected. Now it was my turn to do it. Seeking shelter, I went out into the woods and built my own home. I hunted and gathered, occasionally taking supplies from the village, though they never found out. As time went by I visited the village more frequently, mostly to read their books about dragons and herbs and things.I held such a rapt fascination for the knowledge inscribed in those books and eventually read them all. Within a year. They don't have many books. I became more social, but was always considered a weirdo by the others, who treated me as such. My sister must've moved because I never saw her again. Not that it matters, I never liked her anyways.
Anyways, the other Berserkers might've had problems with the constant dragon raids, but not me. To start with, I was some distance away from the main village, where most of the dragons raided anyways. Secondly, I had turned the body of the first dragon I'd killed into this kind of warning sign so that the others would leave me alone. Eventually I yearned for travel, probably runs in my blood, though only if my parents really were merchants. Though I'd become too complacent and accepting of my life on the isle of the Berserkers. I almost thought I'd never leave. Then someone new became the chief. I already knew He'd bring them to ruin and I didn't want to be part of that sinking vessel. So I left to explore regions yonder. Also to find that rare albino. I'll totally get a reputation for it.
