Back-story:
Born in village in the south of Brevoy, son of the town sheriff and the second of three brothers, trained in the art of combat and war by his father he excelled at two weapon fighting, soon he became an excellent town guard and leader, however he never felt satisfied, his was not meant to be the life of a guard , he dreamed of far away forests and adventures wondering what existed beyond.

He considers himself a righteous person living by truth, justice and honor, believes every person has the potential to be a hero and to do what he calls the "right thing", as a keeper of the law he understands that justice and forgiveness must always go together, placing life above all, he avoids killing unless he has no other option, besides from being a warrior he knows how to guide and coordinated others, inspiring them with his example.

His younger brother showed talent for the magic arts, and despite his young age was sent to the city, were he could train and learn to use his power. Meanwhile his older sister, a guard such as him, continuously proved her superiority over him both in combat and in cleverness, on the other hand his father at his old age remained the town sheriff, keeping peace with firm justice and a kind heart, and some would say with the help advice of Giovanni´s mother an ex-adventurer who enjoyed telling her family and neighbors the stories of her travels and adventures.

It was the day his father already a veteran of life and duty decided it was time to retire and leave his place to his daughter, that Giovanni realized two important things, first, his family would remain safe under his sister care, and second, that he couldn't stay any more, he had to find his path, his own adventures and dreams.
Shortly before leaving his father told him of an expedition to a new mysterious land, and suggested him to find and join the group of explorer heading there, as goodbye gift he gave him his old bastard sword, a used but still beautiful blade with the family crest on it.

Now with a purpose and a destination he gathered his belongings and said goodbye to his family and friends, promising to return one day as a true hero.

OOC: Giovanni is a naive and idealistic character, he has a lack of experience in real battlefields and despite knowing the nature of combat refuses to see its worst aspects, sometimes he is a little bit self righteous and ingenue, in general he will try to find peaceful solutions to problems. His main goal is to become a hero and make a name for himself however behind everything he is looking for a purpose, a reason to fight and overcome himself.

In time he will become a better strategist and a wiser fighter, understanding the nature of a hero/warrior and the purpose of one, realizing what his goals should be and what he should fight for.
