In-Character Info Character’s name: Han Oceans

Biography:
Han Oceans was born to a poor family in the city of Johannesburg, and was raised there until he was about six. It was then that his parents, desperate for money to help raise Han’s two younger sibling, were forced to sell him into servitude as an indentured servant. They sold him to a dwarf who went by the name of Thanedar Malacov, who was known for his work in dwarven engineering and tinkering. In Urguan, he taught Han how to build gadgets and gizmos of all kinds. The talents and skills he picked up during his stay (the next ten years of his life) were undoubtedly beneficial...with a few exceptions. During his time with the dwarves Urguan, Han was exposed to their stubbornly sturdy fighting spirit. This, combined with his inexperienced hot head, lead to several instances where he had to be pulled out of trouble by Thanedar, though not before he had gotten a few swings in.
It was also during those 10 years that Han stewed. At the time his parents sold him, he was too young to understand, so that naturally lead him to ask himself over and over again, ‘Why did they do it? Did they not want me? What did I do to deserve this?’ Though, to be fair, Han adored Thanedar; he was like a father. Yet the questions remained, and Han wanted answers. At age sixteen, he was freed from indentured servitude, and he decided to go back to Johannesburg in search of his family and answers. He returned to Johannesburg in search of any trace of the Oceans’, but to no avail. After searching in vain for almost a month, he returned to work for Thanedar. Venturing out every so often, he wondered what the world had to offer...and if he would ever find his parents or answers. After ten more years, Han, in search of a new home and some kind of work, decided to try his luck in Johannesburg.
Discovering that Johannesburg, once again, held nothing for him, he decided to venture into Lorraine in search of a Tinker named Jacob Handelhyme; a man that is supposedly looking for help...
(Jacob is SigmaWarlord17. We've worked some stuff out, and he allowed me to metion him :D )
Personality Traits:
Han tries to be the best person he can; doing the right thing and helping those in need...but only when it suits his needs. When people call him a dirty crook, he simply replies, “I am no criminal, just underhanded with a helping of sunshine.” No matter how much “sunshine” he spreads however, the questions he has surrounding his parents has formed a pocket of molten anger and icy sadness (overall depression) inside him. One of his worst fears is being abandoned again; his logic says that in order to prevent that, he just has to fly solo. The reality he has yet to face: the isolation of going alone is only making the depression worse.
Ambitions:
Han is a man of several talents, and he knows it. While he wishes to pursue his profession, and open up a tinker shop someday, he secretly thinks it would be cool to start a guild of smugglers and thieves. Which he will pursue, he has yet to decide; Tinker or Master Smuggler?...or Both??
Strengths/Talents:
Han is dependable in a brawl (mostly thanks to the dwarves) and a decent shot with a bow (mostly thanks to boredom). Han also has serious skills as a craftsman, even for his age; able to put together intricate pieces of tinkering workmanship. He also posses a unique talent in the area of sculpting; whittling, chiseling, and carving beautiful pieces of art.
Weaknesses/Inabilities:
Han is hot headed and can easily be provoked into doing something he doesn’t want to or shouldn’t do. He also as an extreme fondness for ale, and doesn’t mind taking a gamble. With those three factors in mind, it is needless to say that he gets into and has gotten into his fare share of fights and trouble.
Appearance: Brown Hair and greenish-grey eyes, he is dressed in a white shirt and worn leather pants. He also wears a worn navy-blue vest he found lying in the street.
