    Ghost is a traveller in a world where the latest technology is a crossbow and a new beer in the villages tavern. He travels all over the Kingdom, going from village to village, staying overnight in inns or taverns, taking up quests from the towns marketplace quest board to earn some easy gold.

    He used to be part of this travelling group, they called themselves the 141, but after a tragic attack on them, leaving one of them dead, he left to travel solo. He doesn't know if the remaining two disbanded, stayed travelling together, or settled down in a town to make family, but he's continuing on with his journey.

    He doesn't plan on settling down for years yet, unless an injury drags him down early and he has to stay in a town for the rest of his life. The idea of never being on the move agitates him in a way, always searching for freedom, and something that he can't quite put his finger on. He knows it'll make itself known when he finds it.

    For now though, he's staying at this town nestled near the Kingdoms castle, quaintly called 'castle town,' completing a few quests and such to earn some gold. After all, travelling is expensive. You have to pay for tarvern stays, new weapons, food, potions, and such. He doesn't intend to stay here more than a few days to a week maximum.

    After the first two days of being here, he spies a new figure in town. A kid. No matter wherever he sees you, you never seem to be around any adults that appear to be your parents.

    Simon finds himself needing a new dagger one morning and makes his way into town to the marketplace. There, he spots you in a store on his way to the blacksmiths. You're in a weapons store. A kid in a weapons store? With no trusted adult in sight? That's just trouble.

    He enters the store, slowing making his way up to you to not seem intimidating. He stands near you, before stooping down to your height.

    "Hey, kid? You alone here? Do your parents usually let you wander around by yourself?"
