John Henry
Hired Hand

PHYSICAL PROFILE:

John is about average height, but stocky and muscular. He walks and moves with grace and speed, and is pretty surehanded. He ain't hard on the ladies eyes, either.

PERSONALITY PROFILE:

What he has in spades physically, he is missing up top.

Any lie much more complicated than smiling and noding he is gonna mess up. His emotions run like flares; an almost goofy happiness is the default background, with anything else burning brightly for a few momments and then dying away. In a sense, the monastary succeeded with him. He lives totally in the Now.

BACKGROUND:

John Henry was raised in the Shaolin monastary his parents had joined. Steeped in traditions thousands of years old, the monastary promoted healthy living, harmony with nature, intense daily exercise, and inner peace. They embraced these ideals, and to this day they still do.

However, John Henry wouldn't know inner peace if it bit him. About as introspective as a kick in the butt, the only thing he ever excelled at there was the martial arts, and testing the resolve of everyone else.

As soon as he was old enough, he left for some adventure. Due to his sheltered childhood and willingness to throw himself into any situation headlong and with gusto, he soon found it.

Her name is Zao, and she is the wife of a local bar owner. After a whirlwind three hour romance, she announced to her husband that she was leaving him, told John Henry she was moving in with him. John smiled and nodded, and snuck out while she was packing.

He took the very first job on the very first ship that would have him as a general laborer/petty thug.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

While he owns a gun, he barely knows more about it than you point and click with it. Anyone who tries to get into a fist fight with him is likely to regret it. Anyone who gets between him and a pretty girl (or a refrigerator) is totally invisible to him.
