Too weak to work in the smithy, Garrick spent much of his youth in bed, once he turned 17, he met Salise, and his life changed completely. They fell in love, and his healyh inproved dramatically. He took a job at a local alchemist's shop as an apprentice, and his quick mind and fingers made him a valuable pupil. While at work one day, Garrick heard the terrifying news that a Cryxian raid was taking place near his family's home. He rushed to aid his loved ones. When he burst through the door, he find his father and mother dead, and his young wife in the middle of half a dozen Cryxian sailors, fending them off with a hot iron from the forge. He leapt towards them in a futile attempt at a rescue, but one of the assailants knocked him unconcious with a single blow. When he awoke, Salise was dead, and the forge was billowing up in flames. He escaped with his life, but was forever scarred, both physically and mentally. He swore that day to never allow another to force their will upon him or one in his protection so brutally. He sold the scraps of the smithy to a well-heeled buyer and fled to Caspia. He quickly found that his talent lay in firearms rather than swordplay, and has a reputation as a crack shot, even at extreme distances. The majority of his wealth goes towards maintaining his weapons and purchasing ammunition. Garrick's only vice is expensive wines, imported from all over Caen.    While strentgh of arms come natural to some, Garrick's ability and physique come from hour after hour of diligent training. He must spend at least seven hours per week building his physique, or suffer a point of temporary strentgh and constitution loss for each week missed.Appearance: Tall and slender, Garrick wears tight leather armor, covered within a greatcloak. He bears his arms openly, with his Vislovski rfle draped over his shoulder, and a short-barrelled carbine at his hip for closer encounters. He has a gaunt appearance, and the only hint of his strentgh and endurance is his broad shoulders and large, strong hands. Garrick's chest and arms bear horrible scars from the fire, now years past. His face is thin, with high, delicate cheeckbones, and his eyes are like two deep pits of darkness in his face.About this character: Garrick is a quiet, serious, and introspective man, with little to say to anyone, even his companions. He throws himself into training moreso than most warriors, and can often be found maintaining his weapons, practicing marksmanship, or working hard to keep himself in top physical shape. He uses his deadly appearance to his advantage when needed, easily intimidating others with his low voice and deep stare. Garrick's smile is rarely seen, even among his companions. He tends to spend time alone while not adventuring, lost in his dark thoughts and a glass of the expensive wine he favors. He still blames himself for the loss of his loved ones, and seeks solcae in the silent contemplation of his imagined sins. He thinks the path to redemption is through good deeds, and the only path to atonement is that of the righteous man.</blockquote>
