Midian City Here I Come!

It's Roleplaying time. I created a fairly cool character... Maybe a little cliched, but what the hell.

A loner, quiet and calculating, cold and judging. A vigilante, a renegade.. someone trying to bring light into the all-consuming darkness. He uses few words and actions when dealing with strangers, and talks little about himself and his past, except to his closest companions. He has little memory of the past 5 years he has travelled the streets - and remembers even less from before then. His family and his home a distant image in his mind, he hasn't been back to them since leaving on a certain day half a decade ago, when he was 16.

After witnessing the horrific beating, abusing and murdering of a friend at the hands of the 'police', he vowed never to stand by and let this happen to anyone else again. He attempts to prove to himself that he has what it takes to make a difference, to make the city a better place, to ensure nobody else suffers the same way his friend did. He takes the law into his own hands and deals out his own form of justice to murderers, rapists, bullies - anyone who preys on the weak or innocent. He remains cool and calm, almost zen-like, as his rage and anger at the injustice and pain going unchecked in the world boils in his blood, ready to erupt at any serious provocation.

The one thing that gives his life light and hope is his love for a young care-giver in the city. If anything were to happen to his love, his vengence would be swift and terrible... nothing means more to him than the safety of that person. Esmiel works for the greater good - firstly for his true companions, secondly to the innocent and down-trodden members of society. He fights with a large, ornamental sword in one hand and a pistol in the other.. if all else fails he has his fists and sharp teeth. He gives as much mercy to his opponents as they would to their victims - which is often none. He doesn't enjoy his self-appointed task. Washing the blood from his hands gets harder every day, but he does it because it gives his life a purpose. Death and pain is the only language these criminals understand, and he speaks it fluently.

This is one of my character's outfits.. I know the background isnt very gritty or urban, but shush.

Who knows what the future holds for my character? I hope it will be full of people to rescue and criminals that need a good kicking.
