Lauren Hapson

Age: 19

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Looks: 6’9”, blue eyes, blonde hair. Is very strong and looks it, as he is in training to be a blacksmith. You can generally find him wearing his blacksmith’s apron and breeches in the smithy, but otherwise he wears a loose, white, rough-woven tunic and brown breeches. When he notices people looking at him, he unconsciously hunches over to hide his unmistakeable height.

Personality: Sweet-natured, Lauren takes after his father. He is always careful not to hurt people, because he used to have incidents when he misjudged his strength. Because of this, he moves slowly a lot of times, and a lot of people think he is abnormally stupid because of this and his natural quiet. However, Lauren is very intelligent and a quick thinker. He is also very loyal.

History: Lauren was born in a small village called Sherlon Mare in the plains of Carenin, which are bordered on the western side by the Rakerlin River. The last boy thus far in a long line of blacksmiths, Lauren longs to earn the name ‘Smith’ for himself. Recently having finished his journeyman project, a fine steel sword, simple but high quality, he feels a pull toward the west. Determined to earn his name, Lauren is about to set out, his journeyman project sword at his hip(though he doesn’t know how to use it), with the full support of his parents and two younger sisters.
