*RolePlaying Character Background Thread*

[Zerrif]

(Since I'm developing four of my characters in my story thread, I don't want to make their character sheets until that story is finished, to avoid spoiling anything for those who are actually reading it. Instead, I'll post character sheets about others that don't have a story. Yet >.>; )

Name: Tenno Shichiro
Class: Alchemist
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Hometown: Amatsu

Shichiro was born to a middle class family in the land of Amatsu. He was the sixth son of seven, born to a family that made a living off of the land, and the restaurant that it owned. His mother tended the grocery and his father the restaurant, his brothers all working in one or the other. Unlike his brothers, however, Shichiro didn't want to stay at home. The legends and stories of Amatsu lore bored him, and he wasn't interested in how the land worked because of spirits, or religion. He was more interested in finding out the truth behind his world around him-- he couldn't accept folklore and myth as truth.

His father saw his desire for knowledge, and sent him first to Alberta, since that was the only city that the ships went. However, he had been left with a further direction-- to eventually make it to Juno and visit the Alchemist's Guild. There, he would learn the truth behind creation, or be disappointed with what he found, and return home. It wasn't like losing one pair of hands would have effected the family's business, anyway.

After reaching Alberta, Shichiro first became a Merchant, having needed to make money in order to fund his trip. He learned the ins and outs of the financial world, and because of his previous background having helped run the family business, he quickly picked up what he didn'tknow about the corporate world. He would occasionally send money back home to help with the farm, and his father realized that hoping his son would return was just a dream-- but he was forever proud that his own blood was able to make it outside of the lifestyle that had been lived by that family bloodline for generations.

Once he was financially set, Shichiro travelled to Juno. It was there that he learned about creation, taking an interest in both alchemy, and the life and creation of Homunculi. While this didn't explain everything about the world, it taught him that something could not come from nothing. All the crops and the success of his family on the farm and in the restaurant came from the land, and also from their hard work and diligence. That was something that was instilled in the Alchemist from the very start.

He still searches for answers with a scientific background, from the mundane to the surreal. He believes that with diligence, he will be able to find a plausible, concrete answer to any question he comes across. As such, he has a personality that is constantly calculation and reasoning. He is always eager to go headfirst into a situation if it promises answers, alone or with companions.
