Background/Backstory: Weeeell, it's what they call "complicated". Soldier of Fortune, Mercenary, Sellsword, gone by all of these terms. Unfortunately some less charitable people might also toss around the terms "Bandit" and "Outlaw" as well... you know, because of those "Complications". Now "adventurer"? Seems to be a better name and rumour has it it better pay... if you can survive that is.
Personality: Casual. Which includes casually violent. He's easy going, ready for a laugh or to try wrangle his way into a woman's affections. However pecking order is a thing, which means that if you don't eat unnecessary s&~%. Which means you hit first, you hit hard and you leave no f#*@ing doubt about who is not to be messed with.

Description (pictures are nice): Clean shaven (well, with stubble if he can't get a razor or a barber) and short hair... less hair makes it harder for someone to grab it while they pound your face. Speaking of faces, Emmett's definitely shows signs of wind, sun, liquor and any number of brawls.

Debt owed to Crime Lord: Petros Blackbrow. One bad night on bad booze in a bad brothel bar? Lots of damages. And a bigger debt. Problem is that he just doesn't want gold to settle the very sizeable debt.

* Combat Superiority: If he doesn’t move, a Fighter can make a number of attacks in a round equal to his level minus the highest HD of the creatures he is engaged in combat with. So, if he is a 5th-level character and is in combat with two 1 HD bandits and a 3 HD crime lord, he can make 2 attacks.

* Improved Damage: A Fighter always rolls the damage dice of their attacks improved by 1 step in the following chain: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20.
