The Bloody Past Revealed, Meet Shiro the Wanderer

So Gulag's dead, alongside several other people, and the DM has decided to move his campaign away from the ancient, undead infested library where we last left "The Dead Men" meaning that not only have I rolled up Gulag's replacement, Shiro the Wanderer, but everyone else has rolled up new characters as well, so that's 2 blog posts right there, but for now I'll focus on Shiro.

(Once again using the Pathfinder and 3.5 rules, although the DM allowed me access to a homebrew race that he helped me build)

Shiro is a Dragonborn (if you guys start yelling Fus-Ro-Dah over the internet I'll do nothing because you're safe behind the internet), who wants for nothing in particular, other than gold to buy food, a villain to kill for gold, and a history book to read while drinking booze. Maybe he'll try to find the mage who killed his entire clan in a single night of blood and fire, maybe he'll tell tall tales in a town tavern for a tankard of ale, maybe he'll wander into a ruin for a chance to find some unexplored facet of the world's history; but whatever he does, at that point in time it'll be the best choice he can make, and he'll do it regardless of what he has to personally sacrifice.

Personality wise, Shiro is mellow enough to roll with life's punches and while he is often openly  sarcastic, foul-mouthed, and dismissive, he tries to restrain himself from taking the violent option; even after threatening such an outcome. He's also fairly physically competitive, while he might not openly challenge others to display feats of strength, he will unconsciously try to one up them when such things come up.

As a combatant Shiro is a powerhouse (Class is Fighter, with the stacked archetypes of Two-Handed Weapon Fighter, and Dungeon Crasher from D&D 3.5), charging straight into the centre of any melee and striking at any opponent within reach with his sword Strength of the Betrayed (also known as Angelslayer's Fang, Truth Seeker, Blade of Regicide, Poison of the Weak, and Rebellion), or throwing his opponents around with enough force the not only break his opponents against walls, but break the walls as well.

At the moment Shiro is travelling with the party in an attempt to find a cure to the Rune-Plague that is sweeping the southern Marshes of Ark, and hopefully make some money doing so.
