Name: Vihn Ruins
Age: 17
Bounty: 5,000
Species: Human
Occupation: Tinkerer (This involves aspects of a mechanic, a shipwright, a builder, an inventor and an engineer) and Thief
Allegiance: Pirate
Home Village/Ocean: West Blue
Appearance: Vihn is an extremely short person for his age, height coming in at about five foot two inches. His weight, again, is below average for his age, but is average for his height; a good ninety pounds. Vihn has a rather tan skin tone, maybe that of which someone from Hawaii might have. His body build is very skinny, but don't let this deceive you. As Vihn has worked tinkering away his entire life, he most definently is much stronger then he appears. Vihn, through hammering, building and carrying heavy equipment over his back, has accidently given himself an above average strength, especially for his size and build. From this, he is able to lift heavy objects, heavier then you might think. He can also run very quickly as his height reduces aerodynamic slow downs. Now to his face. Vihn has a very boyish and innocent face, and is often misconceived as a preteen. His hair is medium length swooped to the right style with a pitch black color. Vihn's eyes are dark, the color of obsidian, to be precise. Vihn's outfit usually consists of a pair of cargo shorts, some sort of graphic tee and heavy duty black boots. Colder weather would result in him wearing a parka over his shirt and a pair of baggy sweat pants, as he is not used to cold and needs to be warm. Vihn often wears a green beanie with a puff ball on the top and a pair of leather gloves while he's working.
History: Vihn was born in the west blue to the Ruins family; the family that ran the local fix it shop at his island. The shop had been around for generations, so naturally, ever generation learned more. This was very good for Vihn, since he was born, Vihn was groomed for the trade. He was taught all about metalworking, physics, engineering and other things. During this time however, Vihn's grandfather, who was a bit too obsessed with money for his own good, started making the good old fix it shop into a chain. This meant one by one, relatives left to tend to new shops as Vihn still worked at the original. Eventually, of course Vihn was sent away to run his own branch on an island. At the age of thirteen, he was very naive. He believed it would be easy to run the store. However, a problem arose ever so quickly after the store opened for business. Vihn realized he had no way of coming up with parts. This made him go to the part time job of stealing. Every night, Vihn would raid a scrapyard for parts he needed, having to outrun watchdogs with heavy parts on his back; earning him the nickname the Ripped Bandit. This, of course, got a kick out of Vihn, but also got him a bounty. Vihn also got good at stealing at that time, but didn't like doing it. He wished for a way to get parts without stealing. And one day, while taking a stroll, his wish came true. After eating a strange looking fruit he found, he found he was able to make and manipulate metal, which meant he could make his own parts. This worked well, and lasted him a good year. By fifteen, however, Vihn became interested in the sea, as he had heard sailor's stories at the local pub. He was also becoming fed up with his grandfathers fascist adittude on how he had to run his store. So Vihn decided to run away. Stowing away on a ship, Vihn decided he must join a pirate crew, considering the with his history the marines were out of the question with his bounty. He is maintaining this lifestyle as we speak, looking for a crew to join.
Personality: To sum it all up into one phrase, Vihn's personality would be "Cynical Joker". Vihn is very jaded, sarcastic, blunt, pessimistic and cynical. If something good happened to the boy, he would become determined to find the bad in it (or in someone else's situation, which becomes quite annoying). Because of his special sense of humor, he would usually be written off as strange by his peers. However, if someone were to have his sense of humor, he would be considered one of the funniest people that person would have ever met. Vihn's favorite thing to do in humor, however, is to make fun of himself. Usually relying on jokes about him being unsuccessful or short, Vihn gets a strange satisfaction from constantly putting himself down. He also gets the same joy from working on something. Making or fixing something gives Vihn the exact same feeling self deprecation does. Vihn also enjoys sleeping much to thoroughly. Wake him up early and it will make Vihn cranky all day, and if Vihn's cranky you're miserable. This is because Vihn isn't just good at making fun of himself. Vihn also might be the same way if he doesn't get his daily dose of sarcasm every day.
