Kainlan

Laughter and scream sound in the middle of the city. Around the corner runs out Kainlan confident boistourous and loud. 'No one can catch me for I am the fastest in Shadowhaven!' he yells. Behind him two burly men, one with a black eye are stumbling behind attempting to chase him. The only thing keeping them close is Kainlan being distracted by a pretty girl at every turn.

Life for Kainlan is easy, hanging out at the Nexus 'sharing' stories of adventure with others there. The barkeep knows Kainlan well, and has often had to intervene due to some conflict or scheme the Kainlan cooks up. Many of the barmaids put up with him as he thinks everyone loves him, in fact he is sure of it, and the girls ignore him, only because he isn't trying hard enough and allows them to.

Every day sharing stories with the different adventures, the longing for adventure itself starts to grow inside of him. He begins to save up some money, practice combat for the arena, in the hopes of one day owning his own ship. His cautious nature has kept him from the arena, till his prowess in combat is the best in the island.
