Name: Derek Aukos

Age: 26

Appearance:[hider=Spoiler- Warning, the image is freaking huge.] [img=http://www.bonhoeffer-schule-re.de/Bilder/11_DB%20Student%201923.jpg] [/hider](If anyone is curious, this is Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who will also serve as an inspiration for this character.)

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Personality: Quiet, but polite and friendly. He is a recent addition to the town, so he has no close friends as of yet. He is a man of faith to the extreme, and, for the most part, takes his bible literally, and applies his theology and philosophy to real life in all contexts. He is very stubborn, in his own way, and believes that there is a true/false answer to every moral dilemma, and thus he will stand firm on any decision he has come to in that regard. He is not a violent man, at heart, and would rather play chess or talk theology than shoot something, but he is firm and brave when he is convinced that something needs doing.

Bio: Aukos moved to the town about two months ago, well provided with funds, and bearing blacksmiths equipment, a covered wagon pulled by a horse of no particular regard, and of indistinct color, and a European accent caught somewhere between British and German. He moved into a small, abandoned cottage at the edge of town. (The previous had gone werewolf and had to be "put down") he set up his equipment, and did work where he could, and, in the meantime, began to build a small church by hand, about half a mile from his house. He is well kept, and tidy, with few possessions, aside from some weaponry, ammunition and basic furniture, and wears either basic, practical clothing, or a nicer suit of a minister. He is a deep thinker, and applies his thoughts to the world around him; for Aukos, philosophy and theology are only important if you live them. He keeps his Bible on hand nearly always, and every Sunday he stands in his incomplete church and preaches, whether or not anyone comes. However, his past is a bit of a mystery: there is a picture of a woman in his house, and he sometimes fades into a deep sadness, which he seldom communicates, except for an unusual silence. His large pool of capital is also a bit of an enigma, and is most likely connected to the heirloom sword he has. 

Weapons:

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_Model_1890] Winchester shotgun (Aukos' particular weapon has a shortened barrel, and an attachment for a bayonet)[/url]

In addition to these, he has a long knife, that can double as a bayonet for his shotgun.

Advantages/Disadvantages:

Aukos is not a man with a love of combat, however, still keeps in practice. The result is a very capable man, who fights like a soldier. His main strength is that he is very cool in a fight, and understands that being steady is more important than being fast. He is slightly above average in all areas of combat, except for when he uses his sword on horseback or on foot. He fights like a master with that. However, Aukos is not one for wanton killing, and is inclined to be more merciful than is, perhaps, wise. He is no coward, but he is rarely the first to shoot. His biggest advantages are his apparently vast capital resources, and his skill with engineering and construction.
