Name: Constantine Lawrence
Faction: Chosokabe
Ethnicity: English
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 90 lbs
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blond
Appearance:
Constantine looked as if he was somewhat not of an opposing figure; he was very slim that someone might think that he was always on a fast. Staring at his sapphire-blue eyes would make someone think that he was constantly searching for something. Although he wears customarily Japanese clothes when on special events, he always wore Western-style clothes elsewhere.
Personality:
Constantine had always conducted himself fairly good with every Japanese he encounters, but it could be said that his personality is always somewhat reserved. He was a man of few words, which might be related to his foreign lineage, but when he speaks, one would think that he was a Japanese native. He understood the nuances of the Japanese language fairly well that he could conduct lengthy discussions with others, but he would not due to his character. But he is always dependable in every situation as he prefers to act first before speaking.
History:
Constantine was born in an English family aboard a ship bound to France, and so it was thought that the baby would conduct himself better at sea, and was destined to become a captain of a fleet. At a very young age he was thought on how to use a sword, which very well continued until the family sailed to Spain when Constantine was 13, on the hype of the first circumnavigation around the world by Juan Sebastian de Elcano. There he was instructed on how to read naval maps, which culminated in a mission set by his parents himself to emulate the victory done by de Elcano, when Constantine was 14. The Lawrence family boarded the galleon San Gabriel and set sail from La Coruna, Spain. Initially the journey was successful, having crossed the Atlantic Ocean without any disturbance. But as they crossed the Pacific, they were hit by a storm, and a lightning strike burned a mast of the galleon. Fearing that the galleon will sink at an instant, Constantine's parents made him board a small boat. But as the boat is lowered, the mast struck by lightning collapsed, and the galleon sunk. Fortunately the boat landed in an upright manner on the ocean, and Constantine is safe.
Constantine's boat steadily drifted on the ocean until it hits land on the island of Shikoku. The people who were on the shore were a friendly folk, fortunately, and helped him recover and rest. When he recovered from the shipwreck, he found out that the current shipbuilding technology in this island could help him get back to Europe, and the daimyo here, Lord Chosokabe Motochika, had the most advanced art of building ships. And so he studied the Japanese language to gain contact with the daimyo, and he conducted himself better in the daimyo's lands such that he was appointed as one of the Chosokabe's regular soldiers. Now he had became enamored with this land that he planned to always visit here when he successfully leave here, but since chaos had ensued in this land, Europe might have to wait. He will fight for the continued glory of the Chosokabe, whatever the cost might be.
