Well I got some free time today after all, so here goes. Let me know what you think.
Character Background
[sblock]
Kadoch was born in the small town of --, in a family with a long, proud history of blacksmithing. Having been born the third son, he was somewhat more free in the projects he could choose to work on, since he wasn't expected to take over the business, although he was, of course, expected to learn the very basics of the art. Like every member of his family, he was built tough from the very beginning, and years of working the forge only improved that natural trait. While not overly strong per se, his very endurance at the hammer allowed him to become extraordinary skilled with it.
His father instilled in him the moral fiber that made him the man he is today. Using your physical might not to bully the weak, but to defend them is simply a way of life.
Having met a travelling "adventurer" in odd, heavy armor at a young age, Kadoch was inspired. He would hone his skills in that direction, picking up some combat knowledge as well, and then leave to travel the land, spreading the name Hammerstein throughout. His father was somewhat doubtful of the usefulness of the idea, but eventually relented, telling Kadoch that he'd be allowed to strike outr on his own in such a fashion when he was able to fashion a suit of armor that would meet his approval.
Years later, Kadoch has finally done so. And the adventure begins..
