Ezrik

Level 1 Human Gunslinger

Age: 27

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Ezrik was brought up in a simple farm town. Being the youngest of 8 children, he never felt needed by his family. All throughout his childhood he was always more interested in the stories that travellers passing through town would tell than of the mundane work that was awaiting him back home. It was his dream to go off to the university, where it seemed the most interesting of these travelers were often from, to learn more about the world. On his 15th name day his parents, brothers and sisters surprised him with giving him enough money for the 1st semester’s tuition.

On his way to the university, the group he was travelling with was overtaken by bandits. Those with horses managed to escape but Ezrik wasn’t so lucky. The bandits took every coin he had and left him on the side of the road for dead. It turns out real life isn’t like the stories. The innocent are targets and those who can stand up for themselves are cowards. A tinker came across him the following day and nursed him back to health. Ezrik no longer desired to waste his time with the university. Why bother with knowledge when there were those out there that could simply take whatever they want? He traded his last remaining possessions which the thieves had left him for the only weapon the tinker had: a pistol.

Ezrik had no desire to return back to life on the farm so he decided to put his newly discovered skills to use helping those that needed a hired gun. But it wasn’t long before he realized that this line of work doesn’t work well with scruples. The best paying jobs were the ones where you asked the least amount of questions. Of course, those are also the kind of jobs that earn you enemies, sometimes powerful ones. Over the years Ezrik has moved from town to town, staying in each place just before his welcome has run out,
