The frontier needs settlers

I think I've got my submission ready, even if I've heavily revised my original character concept.

Orlan Gatewood, Human Male Fighter

After serving in the army for a few years, he returned home to take over the family carpentry business.
Having grown dissatisfied with the corruption and crime back home, he joins the expedition to start a new life for his wife and daughters.

Background:
Orlan descends from a long line of woodworkers, but before he inherited the family trade, he wanted to see the world. After spending a childhood apprenticed to his father, when he came of age, Orlan enlisted with the army. Although his service taught him how to handle a weapon, he more cherishes the great many stories he picked up along the way.

After several years of service, Orlan returned home, took up the family trade, and started a family of his own. Now that he was older, though, he noticed aspects of the trade that did not sit well with him - namely the corruption of the guilds and the bloodsucking racketeers.When his father passed away, Orlan inherited the family heirloom tools, but he wanted to do something better, greater with them.

Upon learning of this frontier expedition, Orlan found the opportunity he desired. He would build a new life for his family, and as one of the brave hearts laying down these foundations, Orlan hopes to ensure that it would be a cleaner, brighter future for his wife and daughters.

Appearance:
Orlan’s strong arms almost look too big for his wiry trunk, but his wife always says he cut a dashing figure clad in armor. His hair, the color of tilled soil, is quickly receding, but his oaken eyes remain deep and bright. The lines and creases forming on his face remain soft most of the time, except when Orlan is deeply focused on his craft, whether armed with his tools or his weapon.

Dotting. I'll need to revise the character sheet, but I'm thinking of keeping it simple with a Human Fighter, a failed caravan guard taking a second chance.

Submitting Orlan Gatewood, a failed caravan guard looking for another chance; a Human Fighter serving as a basic tank.

As for me, I've never played by post before, so if given the opportunity, I will do my best.
