Post by: Maccen on July 18, 2008, 11:25:50 pm
Name: Maccen Jepta Korten
Race: Human
Height: 5'8
Age: 27
Eyes: Green
Hair: Brown
Place of Birth: Windmeere Woods,NE Vesper

Appearance:
Maccen is a thin and wiry young man. His muscles are toned and stringy rather than huge and bulking. He bounces lightly on his 5'8 140 stone frame. His bright green eye are keen and stand out on his deeply tanned skin. Aswell as his muscles he has small nimble hands and fingers but a firm grip from firing his bow with expert aim.  The man has few physical scars, just small ones on his hands and a few longer ones on arms and legs from the bush.

Work Description:
Maccen is a man who loves money, nearly as much as he loves the wild, possibly even more than his love for young women! His work ethic comes from how generous the salary he can make, being directly proportional to his own calculations. In the past he has been a mercenary with La Poche D'Argent, in addition to this background he has worked the docks in Vesper. Presently, after having suffered an "early retirement" from La Poche, he works as a huntsman; tracking, killing, skinning, and selling the meats and hides for proffit.

Personality:
Maccen is an upbeat sort with a "Carpe Diem" attitude that belies the fact that many men (most of them wealthy) want him very dead! He is a flirtatious male and often found chatting up the ladies, at least until hes caught with his hand in the cookie jar by said laddie's husband or father! He never minds helping friends but from anyone else he generally expects some form of compensation. He reveres nature as Avatars gift to mankind and will do anything to preserve it!


Background:
Maccen was born in the wilds of the Windmeere Woods at the shrine of Spirituality. It was on the day of his birth that his father died. Of course no one had planned to give birth to the boy out in the wild! They had fled from their home to seek shelter from the Solen.  His father, upon his dying breath, made a final plea to the Almighty to save his wife and child. It was then that the shrine suddenly became overgrown with thorns blocking out the rest of the Solen.

His mother would move to Vesper to raise him but later around the age of 10 they would move back to their small home in Windmeere to escape the crowded city.

By age 15 Maccen was very much a rogue, Stealing food and small amounts of coin to feed himself and his mother. It was one day at his usual tricks that he was caught picking the pocket of a merchant. The merchant would have had the boy arrested had not a dock worker stepped forward and agreed to pay the fine.  Maccen practically idolizes the 18 year old who saved him from that day forward and taking his advice, stops stealing and earns an honest wage on the docks.

At age 18 he follows his idol to join "La Poche D'Argent" and starts a dubious career as a mercenary. He would work with his friend for nearly a year when they would part ways as his idol moved on to a diffrent group. Maccen would make a name for himself until the age of 24 when he would "retire" to avoid being killed. At this point he returns to Windmeere and becomes a huntsman, learning the ways of the forest as his father did.

Reputation:
Maccen is a womanizer through and through and is best known for being caught in the bowers of wealthy men's daughters.


Motivation/goals:
To preserve nature first and foremost. Money and women are his only other motivations.
He also wishes to become a master of his bow.

Quotes:
"So. when am I getting paid again?"
"Do you suppose we can renegotiate?"
"Really M'liege, I thought she was yer sister! Not yer daughter!"
