How you got here: Herodotus arrived when the first men descended from the sky. Charged by the so called "colonial" authorities with overseeing the maintenance and "terraforming" of the newfound planet, something went really wrong with the navigation controls of his vessel and was lost to the world. 
Background: Aeons ago, Herodotus spent his youth growing and learning under a different sky and sun. A son of an otherwise unremarkable couple, he always had a fascination to take flight and conquer the stars, and his dream was realized when he enlisted in one of such colonial attempts. The journey was long and uneventful, but Herodotus persevered and prepared himself for the titanic task of bringing a new planet up to shape so that humans could inhabit it.

However, the day of the landing, a severe malfunction on his descent pod veered his trajectory far off, and he crash landed into the northern wastes in a crevice. The subsequent landslide of rocks and ice emtombed him, and he was considered dead. He, however, survived, by clinging to the pod's basic healing support systems and cold sleep functions. The world changed around him. The Void invaded. Kingdoms rose and fall, and the ancient systems he was supposed to repair were forgotten and poorly maintained, all while he slept as his wounds healed. A massive earthquake in recent times, a fortitous event, freed him from his ice prison. The sight what awaited him was appalled, and he nearly succumbed to despair after sighting orcs for the first time, and thinking that had been the fate of all mankind. But he persevered. He traded his futuristic equipment, useful but rather depleted with the tools of hunter-gatherers, and he made a beeline towards civilization. The Void, the Guardians... the recent events. So many situations to repair and fix, and so little time.

Powers, Abilities, & Equips:

Mark of the Overseer: An engraved [i]three[/i] point star tatoo in his flesh, this actually serves as a method of recognition and master key for many of the ancient systems that might still be scattered about. It also allows to learn and process much more quickly new languages and information.

Ancient Engineer: Sykes knows the ins and out of the ancient technology. At the proper place at the right moment, this can bear exceptional fruit. However, due to the vast amount of knowledge required to do at once, he needs a programmed chip to store the blueprints of most things. Since his ordeal, this has been restricted to self-taught devices, which nevertheless include high-grade medieval weaponry and tech.

Hunting: Sykes has a good aim, and he is rather fit. He can use a bow with no small amount of skill (although a gun would be much better) and he can also fight acceptably with the knife. He is also good at tracking and has notions of stealth.

Omni-tool: Basically, a futuristic multi-tool. It can be used to repair ancient tech. He keeps this device hidden due to its hi-tech appearance. (Requires an ID mark to work). The Omni-tool has also a display which connects with the ancient Sky-Eye network of satellites, which are useful for positioning or getting the topography of a place done. (Although Sykes isn't sure the network still works).

Desired Class: Ranger 
Character Flaws: Herodotus is jaded and rather cynical, and he is often than more frequently detached from the events of the world at large. He has a tendence to consider non-human races as servant races. He also is under immense emotional strain, and grief might make him much more callous and reckless than he would be otherwise.
