Jayne

Jayne is a 17 year old half-elf. He grew up around humans, never having met his (elf) mother. His father took him from his mother on the day of his birth. His father is a reeeeeeeal piece of work. Jayne grew up under the constant threat of getting beat. His father would say it was to toughen him up for a world that would obviously hate him for being a half-breed. Jayne learned very quickly to either talk his way out of a beating or hide when he saw the signs that his father was angry.

Jayne ran away from home when he was 14. As is the norm for a child of 14 on the streets, he joined a street gang. His gang helped him develop his skills as an opportunistic fighter, and eventually he came to be known for his talent for stealth. After just three years he had become quite a little criminal.

It was then that a powerful man came to him with a job. The pay was too great to ignore. 100 gold to kill one man. He took the gold, took the job, and set out to do the worst thing he had ever done in his life. He got into position, found his moment, and froze. He couldn't do it. He just couldn't bring himself to do something that horrible.

He did keep the money. He skipped town, the job left undone.
