[hider=Gin Ichi] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/yz5rmUd.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Name:[/b] Gin Ichi [b]Age:[/b] 23 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Personality:[/b] In his daily life, Gin lives as a calm and collected intellectual, easily able to converse with others and maintain a friendly disposition. He flirts with women the first opportunity he gets, and enjoys seeing children smile. First and foremost, though, Gin is a man of faith, ever loyal to his religion. He believes that God had given him a chance at life, and is willing to do much to maintain that life. As a result, Gin prefers to see peoples' good sides and give them the benefit of the doubt, but if they show that they are not deserving of his kindness, he will not hesitate to be a little more disrespectful in his approach. He will not use violence, though, except as a last resort; instead, he simply expresses his dislike either subtly or openly, as well as playing an occasional small prank using his few talents. [b]History:[/b] Gin was abandoned at an early age, having to grow up on the streets. He would find whatever scraps of food and money he could, whether it was just lying around in the open or from peoples' pockets. It was a hard life, but he got by. One day, he was following an old man in black clothing. To Gin, the old man looked well off, and seemed like an easy target to swipe a bit of money off of. Gin made his move, but unfortunately, his outstretched arm was quickly grasped by the wrist. Gin, realizing his mistake, tried to pull back, but the old man's grip was firm. Rather than being punished or anything, however, the old man merely smiled, and asked him where his parents were. Gin glared at the man and stayed silent, but his stomach chose not to do the same, growling loudly. As Gin turned away, embarrassed, the old man laughed and offered him a place to stay and more than enough food to eat. Gin was reluctant, but it was too good on an offer to refuse, and the two made their way over to a church orphanage. The old man, who was a priest at the church, had taken it upon himself to teach Gin what he knew, if at east because Gin was the first to be there. From there, Gin was turned down the path to becoming a priest, learning things from reading and writing to proper table manners to the contents of the Bible. As time passed, more and more kids were living at the orphanage, and Gin felt content for the first time in his life. He used what he had been taught by the old priest and spread his lessons to others, eager to share his happy experiences with them. He never really stopped, even as he grew to be an adult and the old priest passed away from old age. He would continue doing so until the day he died as well. [b]Skills:[/b] -Street smarts: Gin had to learn many tricks to live on the streets, and just because he became a priest doesn't mean he's lost them. Well, at least not all of them. Mainly he identifies trickery and deceit, among other things, from others, as well as using some of his own to outwit them. In addition, he possesses a decent amount of skill in pickpocketing. -Silver tongue: Gin can and will speak quite eloquently when he feels the situation calls for it. Most of the time he just uses this to flirt with women, though that doesn't mean he won't be using it for other purposes. [/hider]
