Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dire Lemming" data-source="post: 2972292" data-attributes="member: 21457">I love fluff, it's too bad I'm only really good at making it with a clothes drier.  :\ I'm going to post my fluffitized character history here and edit this post when I update it.  Tell me what you think, especially you Scotley.  If you want to help me come up with more stuff about the "assassination attempt" that'd be great.[sblock='History']Many who walk the path of the adventurer do so to escape some dark past.  Shoon is not one of them as far as he knows.Shoon never knew his parents.  The teachers and students at the Shining Heart Monastery in which he was raised, deep within the western Couatl Mountains, were his family.  This particular monastery was dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu, so as he grew up he was taught both strength and compassion.  He spent his early life learning from the monks and training to become one of them.  He excelled at tests of agility and speed and at the age of seventeen was accepted fully into the order.It was soon after this that his old master met with him and told him that it was time for him to leave.  “I can see that you still have thoughts of your past.” Said Katsuichi Sensei,  “One that does not know himself can never truly be at peace.  You must go and find that which you seek.” Shoon bowed and started to leave but his Sensei stopped him, “Remember the teachings of Amaterasu, they will guide you well.  Teach those you meet of strength and compassion.”  He left the next morning, heading east.Shoon does not yet understand the complexities of the world outside the monastery, so he is rarely suspicious of others without good reason. He also tends to view things simplistically when it comes to morality.  He generally does not kill without a good reason since it is just as easy for him to subdue a foe in most cases.  Recently he has discovered that bounty hunting is a good way to both bring criminals to justice and support himself during his travels.Just a few weeks ago, while taking supper at a roadside inn, he heard something that piqued his interest, the Order of the Duskblades had attempted a to assassinate Duke Rolgarth of Dowain, in retaliation he had attacked their citadel and placed a mass bounty on every one of there heads, it was said that many had fled northwards after their failed mission.  It might as well have been a sign from the goddess herself, the next day at sunrise he saddled "Beam" and headed north without even remembering to purchase winter clothes, eager to teach these foul traitors the error of their ways.  He would regret his impulsiveness.[/sblock]Well, I made it more about the teachings and less about the deity herself.  And I added a new name for the monastery.  I was going to go for Radiant Heart but then I realized they're already a bunch of Paladins.</blockquote>
