Character History
No one is entirely sure just who this mysterious individual is, nor where he came from. Some say he came from a wealthy family who disliked their stance on abusing the poor, while others say he's from a family of mad scientists who love to harass folks with their inventions. There are a few that say he's not even from this world. Regardless of where he came from, what he is here for is purely simple - to provide folks with needed goods and supplies for whoever, or whatever, walks into his shop. He wanders the world to provide his goods to the people living in the area, and tends to offer them at fair prices - or unfair prices if your face is plastered on a Wanted Poster. "Sorry, it's just policy", or so he says...

Personality
The Shopkeeper is a quirky individual. He has brown hair, green eyes, white skin, and wears glasses. He's easily distinguishable by wearing a green trenchcoat, black shoes, and black jeans (An invention of his, though he sometimes jokes it's to cover up the oil stains from his workshop). While his body build is rather scrawny and thin, he makes up for it by carrying around with him a rather large violet backpack, which he claims is one of his better inventions. While seemingly too large for this person to carry, it actually has an anti-gravity device on it to make it weigh less than nothing... but immediately intensifies its weight if anyone else tries to carry it. In addition, it makes use of 4 mechanical arms that tend to be used for pretty much anything - walking, carrying stuff, making drinks, etc. If push comes to shove, though, they can also defend the Shopkeeper and accurately protect him from anyone foolhardy enough to attack him head-on and deliver a crushing counter-attack to the fool. Other than that, no one has any idea what's in that backpack of his. It's also rumored that his security is one of the scariest systems in the world. If someone were to steal from his store, mug any of his customers standing within sight of the store's window, or threaten anyone in the store with force, the offending person would drop dead for no apparent reason. Thankfully, the Shopkeeper says he hasn't had to enforce this... yet.

The Shopkeeper's personality is also quirky. He's a lively fellow who doesn't mind chatting with his customers. Due to travelling around, he's not necessarily familiar with any one land, so he is one of the few folks who you shouldn't be asking for about travel advice. However, he has a few subjects he doesn't like to talk about; one of them involves his past before becoming a shopkeep. He tends to remain calm when under pressure, but does get a bit irritable when someone trash-talks his wares and inventions. He is technically a pacifist, but wouldn't hesitate to defend his customers, his store, or himself if need be. Because he has no boat, he sometimes has to enlist others for passage on their ship, for the cost of a 50% price drop on his wares. With that said, he does tend to side with the Marines more than he does pirates, and penalizes folks on wanted posters with a 15% increase to his prices mainly to avoid the Marines' wrath.

Be sure to drop by the Wandering Paradise when you can; you're gonna have a great time, and its Shopkeeper will see to it.
