He carries a steel longsword in a basic leather scabbard at his left hip and a steel dagger at his right.

Owein is above average using long swords, and average with throwing knives. He can be stealthy, has good agility and speed, and moderate strength and endurance. Experienced assassin and fighter, so usually fights smart. He’s a pretty good drinker too.
History
I hate boats. I was standing on the foredeck of a merchant ship taking in the view, beautiful blue sky, and morning sun reflecting off the depthless ocean, it wasn’t bad except for the constant wild pitching that left my knuckles white as I gripped the rail.
“Ha ha ha, still haven’t got yer sea legs eh?” The captain walked up beside me, big, burly, and a bit too friendly.
“I told you I’ve never been to sea before.”
“Lucky you, we’ll be there this time tomorrow.” Then he gave me an inquisitive glance my direction and asked, “Why you goin’ to Corone anyways?”
I just shrugged and said, “You want the long or short version?”
Unfortunately he was bored as well, “My crew know what to do without my yellin’, so how ‘bout the long version.”
I sighed, oh well. “I came from a noble family, or at least did until they disowned me when I was 19. Before that I met this girl, most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, anyways we really hit it off and we wanted to get married, of course my parents wouldn’t allow it she being ‘street garbage’ as my parents put it, we argued, I lost, then got disowned. After that my girl, Elise is her name, introduced me to some friends of hers, turned out they were assassins, I got recruited, then I got married, things were going pretty good. After three years as an assassin me and my boss…had conflicting views, so I got kicked out. With the skills I learned as an assassin I decided bounty hunting would suit me well, and things were looking pretty good for a while, then a bounty came out for Elise. I wouldn’t turn her in of course, but her boss decided I knew too much about his organization and sent her out to kill me on pain of death. She told me then ran, after a few months searching I found out she went to Althanas, so now I’m going to find her.”
We stood in silence for a few seconds, then the captain just grunted and said, “I’ve heard worse reasons,” and walked away. I stood there for a few more minutes then went back to my cabin to idle the day away.
I woke up the next morning excited, it took me a few seconds to realize why, then I slowly grinned and went out on deck. True to his word we’d arrived…
