[Rokku_Ryu]

(The AMAZING work of SentaiPink)

Name: Rook James Connors
Age: 33 Years old (Will be 34 on Apr 29th)
Gender: Male
Birthday: 29th of every month
Race: Mesalian


Personality

Rook is guided by his own sense of right and wrong. He sees men and woman as equal, but not all men are equal. He lives in the morally gray. Whats right and wrong depend on the situation. But if one side of a fight has an unfair advantage, Rook has been known to balance out the scales. It is his moral compass that guides him, often leading him to leap before looking.

Good and Evil play very little part for him. Justification is key. He can be the hero, if given the right information. But this coin has a second side. If he thinks the cause is just, he can commit terrible crimes.

Short of that, he is a bit of a sarcastic man. It's his main defense mechanism. Always a quip or a roll of the eyes. And in a tense situation, he can't help but try and diffuse the situation with a joke.

Skinning and Tanning Hides -Novice
After stripping an animal of it's hide, Rook knows how to make the pelt usable for re-purposing, something he learned from Nikita.
Deforestation -Novice
Good with an axe, but more as a tool than a weapon. Has found lately that cutting lumber is becoming more and more common for him.

Appearance
6'4 feet tall, with messy dark brown hair he keeps mostly out of his eyes. Muscular, not like a fighter, but more like the farmer he is, with broad sholders, and a wide frame. Most of his height comes from his long legs. He has sun tanned skin, hazel eyes, a perpetual smirk on his face, and a handful of battle wounds:

• He has a small arrow induced wound on his left shoulder, (A misfire from Nikita's bow)
  
• a burn mark on his right shoulder, (from a childhood fire)
  
• a scar on the inside of his left leg, from his calf to his upper thigh, (Drunken bar fight)
  
• a pair of faded claw marks on his back from a duskspawn attack. (After Allison put a knife to his throat)
  
• a slight limp in his left leg. (Tree that fell on him, and then a fall into a pit, during the pilgrimage) [/list:u]
