His brow is heavy set and he has piercing and spiteful eyes. His hair is ruddy with dirt and long, and he has some meat and fat on his bones, thick limbs for his size and a heavy frame. Sanking Smythe walks with a slight limp, his leg branded with a nasty scar from a fierce battle in which his leg was mangled by a blow from a hand axe.

Sanking Smythe is a sergeant by trade, and is often seen wearing a brown surcoat over a heavy chain hauberk and coif. a good helm with a nasal guard sits atop his head and this thick leather boots thump with each step he takes. Other than his armor Smythe wears a brown tunic and linen trousers. No matter where he goes, Smythe wears a forged steel military pick at his side.

…The Me You Want To Know…

Personality: Quite frankly, Sanking is a dick. He's a cocky, arrogant, borish, ill mannered dick. That's not to say he doesn't have any good qualities. He's a good fighter, a good worker, a sharp man, and he works for cheap. There's generally more to him once you get to know him, and his vicious comments and insults will grow to be jests and joking comments over time, but for the most part Sanking Smythe is a dick.

History: Sanking Smythe, son of Vilhelm Smythe and Jessica Talbot, was a peasant. He spent his childhood helping his parents tend a small plot of land, playing with other peasant boys, eating sparse servings of crappy food, and getting trampled underfoot by nobles. When he was only 12, not even entering the first stages of manhood, he was levied by the local lord to fight. Sanking was trained in how to form up with the other recruits and how to fight with a spear and shield, then released en masse onto the battlefield.

His first battle was many people's first time making love. It was confusing, messy, and over too quickly. He saw how wars were fought, massed arrays of spears and axes and clubs and swords, leather and chain armour, lowborn peasant militias and archers and noble swordsmen and cavalries. He was commended for bravery and valor on the field above his station and rank, and as such provided a job as an armored sergeant in his lord's standing army. Over time and through many battles Sanking was hardened to the ways of war, and when his forces eventually lost and his lord slain he became a sellsword, a mercenary. Now Smythe travels the land, killing whoever he's paid to kill.

Magic: none

Other Facts:

-Smythe's biggest weakness is his right knee, it was mangled in a fight and hadn't healed properly. It's always in pain and he can't run to fast, and giving him a good smack to it will knock him clean off his feet, but you don't know that yet you metagaming prick.

-Sanking has seen a lot of things on the battlefield, he's seen incredible acts of bravery and cowardice, mercy and cruelty. He's probably such a huge dick due to his experiences abroad. He tries to hide it but he has nightmares, and at times can suffer bouts of shellshock, remembering all too clearly some of the more horrible moments he has seen while at war.

-Vilhelm and Jessica, his parents, were hops farmers. As such Sanking knows a lot about Ale, were he not a soldier he would be a brewer or a hops farmer like his parents. He shows an interest in ale as more than just a way to lose himself in a drunken stupor or liberate himself of whatever he'd eaten before, and if he were to grow too old or broken to fight lords knows he'd love a plot of land where he could grow hops or brew some strong beer.

-Sanking Smythe is a sergeant, a professional footman and soldier. He favours polearms as his main weapons and turning to his trusty Pick for close range confrontations. Sanking is often seen armed with a Halberd or Partisan, sometimes taking a shortandled spear or Billhook as well. These weapons are cheap, easy to find, and in the right hands a terrifying piece of equipment. Sanking's military pick consists of a relatively short (under three feet) metal shaft ending in a heavy hammer head and spike. This weapon can be used to bludgeon opponents with the hammer end or penetrate even the thickest of armor with the spike.
