Appearance & Personality

Standing at 5'9 Gen is not an imposing figure, he moves silently and swiftly to whatever corner he can make himself comfortable in, hanging about with a casual smile and a soft drink in his hand. Probably observing the people around him until he can scout out someone he finds worthy of his time. He's easily distracted by new and old friends alike, often forsaking his obligations to hang around with them, his carefree spirit often ignoring whatever consequences that may bring. Yet when called upon he will take it upon himself to fix it.. sooner or later (probably later)

Background

Childhood:

Once upon a time, there was a strong and beautiful female miqo'te warrior, who held little regard for the men in her tribe, she said that no male would be able to claim her as theirs, unless they first bested her. Many a nunh tried, they came at her with tooth and claw, and swords, and lances, and whatever they could get a hand on, yet none could defeat her. Then one day, a Tia appeared before her. She barely glanced at the man as he approached her. He had a board in hand and a box at his side. He sat down in front of her, giving her a friendly smile, challenging her to a game of chess. She was intrigued by the male, as he spoke to her during their match, asking her about her thoughts, dreams and hopes. She proved to be more of a challenge than he had expected. And after a fierce match, they decided to call it a draw, then retreated to her chambers.

The tribe was furious at this, a lowly Tia and one of their finest hunters and warriors. Tired of their narrow minded culture, the two left the tribe, living as wanderers. They took up the trade of dungeon explorers and historians. After some time, their son was born.

Gen was a happy child, despite his upbringing being quite strict, from morning to noon, his mother would train his martial skills, teaching him the way of the fist that her father had taught her. Then after that, his father would be his school teacher, so it continued until Gens teenage years, where he decided to strike out on his own instead of following in his parents footsteps.

Adult years: After a couple years of misadventures and personal troubles, Gen slowly became enamored with the thought of raiding old crypts and dungeons to uncover goodies and riches, and possibly return to helping his parents with their investigations of old ruins.. but preferably at greater distances so his mother wouldn't beat him up for the occasional theft he made out of the tombs he robbed.

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Emotionally invested     ● Good Standing     ● Poor Standing ♥ Star Flicker : The girl who stole a thiefs heart. At first he thought he'd woo her and then be off to new adventures, yet he found himself drawn to her, and even uncharacteristically helped her several times over without any payment. As he dwelled upon it, he discovered he'd actually -fallen- for her. Having realized this, he decided he had to act upon it, or possibly lose her forever, and being a persistant bastard payed off. ● Yorric Lesh : Gen befriended Yorric pretty much instantly as the latter joined the Crusaders. Gen enjoyed his carefree attitude and bantering skills. Lately Yorrics less scrupulous methods have begun to make Gen uncomfortable, but given the things they've been through. He wont abandon his friend over ethical disputes. ● Arianne Soren : Gen senses a kindred spirit in Ari, both of them having a practical approach to morals, while still staying on the side of "good" Even if Gen is more in the grey zone than she seems to be. They share interests such as alcohol, women, and mocking Yorric. Gen pretty much considers Ari his closest friend, and knows he can go to her about anything, even if it's just to tell him he's an idiot. ♥ Tikka Swift Tikka is a source of joy and mischevious feelings of youth for Gen, He loves the rogue, much like he loves Flick, if one can compare love in that way. Something that Flick understandably didn't feel all that happy about. Still their relationship seems to have stabilized, and Gen is quite happily in love with two people at the same time. That is, Until Tikka was kidnapped, whih sent him into a depression, and a few bad guys to the hospital ● Breeze Darrus One might think Gens loathing of Breeze comes from that they where rivals for Flicks affection, but to Gen, it started before that. Flick was putting together an expedition to find Maryel who had been missing. Breeze bowed out, claiming to be injured. This made Gen consider the man a weakling and a coward, and their later rivalry didn't make him think any fonder of him. Lately however, they've been talking to eachother like friends, so Gen isn't ruling out making peace with the man. ● Misha Jinhri A girl Gen met in the Quicksand, they began talking and soon she revealed her interest in archeology, a subject Gen might not be an expert in but he thought he could at least teach her a thing or two about not getting eaten alive by crypt zombies. Later it turned out that she had also "stolen" Tikkas boyfriend, so he feels a bit guilty about befriending the girl. ● Oksana Vankraft Gen met Oksana, or "V" through the Free company. They didn't have much interaction until recently when V was attacked by a man, carrying an cursed ancient dagger Gen had unearthed. This resulted in V being cursed herself, and later possessed, something Gen felt an awful amount of guilt for. The possession also shook Gens own memories, remembering his past, and making him sympathize even more with the woman, and their friendship just seem to keep growing. When V relapsed into rage from Diablos curse, she attacked him, and in defense he punched her. Something he still feels bad for, knowing she wasn't herself. Still the two keeps being friends, srtronger than ever ● Mia Sasano "Sis" Gen found himself discussing his martial arts, and Mias magical skills outside the company house. Since then they've both been seen talking to one another on several occasions about just about anything, life, philosophy, their pasts and what the future might hold. Through hardships and trials, Their closeness has just grown and he now considers her a sister.
