Am I seriously going to be the old-fashioned human? Yeah sure why not.
Name: Mino Tarchival
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Skill: Craftsman
Flaw/Fear/Negative: Lack of Motivation, for life, for lots of things until his body TELLS HIM (you need to eat, you need to drink, etc)
Backstory:
Mino was a very cheerful child, apprenticed to his father, a mason. Eventually the father could no longer keep him when the entire town was already too full of houses, the king no longer wanted anymore stone pillars and he couldn't
afford travelling to another town. Someone thought it was funny to send people to some place in the middle of nowhere to settle and then send a king there. Sure, the very heavy taxes would take a long time to get to another place, but
with that in mind, the villagers could barely escape either! Anyway, Mino's father had a friend who was His Majesty's craftsman. When Mino's father found out he was visiting, he begged and begged his friend to take him. His friend might
as well take him, being sterile himself and having no wife (claiming, "he didn't want one"). So the friend accepted and resolved to stay in the town, resigning his position as the Liege's master craftsman. And so, Minos' father's friend,
whom we shall call Igris, adopted him and went from there and built on to Mino's already primed masoning skills. Mino could build a castle out of stone (given enough time) and a small, stable house out of WOOD by now (4 years after he'd
been adopted, currently 18).
Igris cared for and taught Mino some more, Igris was proud to have an adopted son at 23 who knew how to build houses out of a variety of different materials, and could make you the most magnificent hat out of diamonds or horse feathers, whichever
you like. Minos was the ultimate craftsman, the jack-of-all trades, in craftsmanship, that is. Sadly, he did not have any recognition, being in a deserted town. He also had to wait a long time to make something out of any material as the
carts from other towns took a long time to arrive. Igris was adamant about keeping Mino in that town.
3 years later, Mino understood why.
By 26, Mino could probably beat the 46 year-old Igris at a doublet-making match. Igris refused to admit to this, and from then on, Igris tried to trick Mino into doing things which were really, really, (really,) stupid.
Mino didn't know about alcohol. Mino didn't know about jumping off of cliffs, either. Guess who tried teaching him to do both of those? THAAAT'S RIIIGGHHT! his crazy aunt IGRIS.
Guess who tried stealing Mino's Get-the-hell-out-of-this-deserted-town savings? Guess who wanted to sabotage some of Mino's new crafting attempts? GUESS, OH THIS IS A GOOD ONE, GUESS WHO TRIED DEFAMING MINO'S HUMBLE NAME?????????
It was so obvious, Mino was the nicest man in town, how could he be framed of robbing all the houses in the town? Igris tried placing most of the loot in Mino's room but Mino claimed he was babysitting Mari's kid that day. And the
only person who could attest to that was the kid so the town had increasingly bitter feelings about him from then on. All until that very same tyke decided to play on one of Mino's catapults. He placed pillows where he thought he
would land (the wrong place anyway) and launched himself. He ended up landing on top of Igris' private workshop. On top of said workshop, the kid found all of the lost possessions from, his house as well as his friend's, carelessly
dumped there! So he shouted. He shouted out. He shouted, he shouted, he shouted and a crowd arrived and asked him, "What is it, you wretch?!" (they didn't like'em 'cause he tried defending Mino). So the kid said in response that
there was a whole bunch of gold on top of the shop. One of the surly ones got a ladder, not to see if it was true, but to beat him. There would be no beating, for the child told true and the surly man was shocked at what he saw
on top of the house. He announced this to the ones below who came up to look.
Pretty soon the whole village came up to see. Including Mino.
They all burned Igris at the stake and then invited Mino for cake. The whole town started to prosper, everyone was progressing, Mino found his savings and got out of town with everyone trailing him, telling him they wished he didn't
go.
Pretty soon, Mino would wish he hadn't gone. He discovered a corpse wearing his father's old clothes. All the ribs were broken and the bottom half was decayed. Mino suspected Igris of this, and had wished that he suffered a more painful death.
Sadly, with dead people being dead people, Mino knew this could never happen and generally began to feel depressed at the loss of his father and his mentor's treachury.
He is now at the local town where all of us plot characters are, in his own small shop. He is still the best, but people would rather go to someone who can get the same, mostly simple job done with a smile! Yeah, business isn't that
great for Mino, and so he has packed up all his things and sat in the market, hoping someone would pick him up and give him some sort of job that doesn't require smiling.
