Colt Goshawk

Colt Goshawk is a Male Human Scout, famous for his skills with a hand crossbow and notable for starting a riot in the town of Bryn-Shander. He's a man who believes in justice, and in the goodness in the hearts of men. Of course, He also knows about the darkness in those hearts, and he's quite acquainted with the potential crossbow bolts in them, too.

Appearance
Colt is a man of average build, lithe yet muscular. His skin is tanned, and his hair, when visible, is a dark chestnut. A shadow of stubble adorns his face, at least the part you can see. The rest of his face is generally covered by his wide brimmed leather hat; it keeps the sun and snow out of his eyes. He wears a long coat and boots, equal parts fashionable and practical. It's good for hiding weapons. Otherwise, he dresses simple and humble, for nothing worth having can be bought with money. Except a crossbow, of course.

Personality
Colt is a man of few words, not because he's always thinking but because he ain't the smartest. He's driven by one goal: a desire to do whatever he can, no matter how small, to make the world a better place. He's kind, but he can't always control his temper: he's got no time for tyrants and bigots. He's also not afraid to cull the cruel and undeserving with a crossbow bolt to the chest. He tries to see the best in people, even if their skin is green or they're 20 feet tall or covered in scales. Diplomacy is always his first course of action, but he's not shy about using less elegant forms of negotiation. He's never been romantically involved with anyone and doesn't plan to be. He is, of course, partial to crossbows of any kind, though he prefers handheld ones, but he'll tolerate a sword or preferably a knife for tight situations. Otherwise, he refuses to use any other type of weapon.

Given his demeanor, he rarely tends to know exactly what’s going on at any given moment. Despite this, he tries to take a leadership role whenever possible, often acting as the de facto front man of the group. He’s working on letting others do the talking, but has trouble managing his passion for what he does.

History
Colt was born to an as of yet unknown father whom he endeared very much. Homesteading in the wilds of Korhan, he lived in a close knit community of other humans, before they were all slaughtered by a band of murderous goblins. Desperate for revenge, he spent several years searching for the tribe that did it, but what he did during those years only he and the gods know. He's not proud of it. Upon finding the tribe that murdered his family, he was struck by the similarities with his own struggling town, and realized that he had been misguided in his hatred. From that day forth, he vowed never to let his prejudices guide his actions again, and to always look out for the downtrodden and disadvantaged. Since then, he's made a few friends, but rarely kept them; he always puts others before himself and it was honestly getting pretty irritating. Eventually, he joined a band of adventurers to rescue a kidnapped boy, and has since gained possession of a castle. He's not really sure how.
