Personal history

Shammin Yabari was born in a quaint gnome village hidden in the vast Forest of Mir, the youngest of three. Shammin was a rapscallion as a youth, and he loved to engage in fisticuffs with the other children of the trees. Despite his stature, he frequently won through brute force alone.
 
During one unfortunate summer morning, a twelve year old Shammin was approached by two boys, both a full foot taller than he. Without word, the three began to fight in a 1v2 battle of fists. Despite being outnumbered, Shammin held his own comfortably. However, unbeknownst to Shammin, another boy lay in wait in a conspicuous bush a few feet away from the brawl. This boy approached Shammin from behind and double-pantsed him, exposing his red, baboon-like ass. Word spread of this embarrassing folly and Shammin became the butt of the joke for a few years in the village. Shammin never forgave himself for this existential defeat in the quest to never be humbled.
 
Shammin comes from a long family line of blacksmiths, carrying this tradition with him well into adulthood. At the seasoned age of 80 years old, Shammin decided he had been there, done that, and wanted some change in his life. He was destined for bigger and better things, and dreamt of fighting around the world. Armed with his knack for irony, experience in the field, and a willingness to be a "team player", Shammin is determined to bring the fight down into the underdark.

Employment

Was employed in his father's business as a professional blacksmith, a common line of work in the Yabari lineage. After leaving the village, he worked odd jobs to make ends meet, with a long break in employment from essentially living as a hermit in the woods.

Failures & Embarrassments

See personal history. Goes berserk if he is reminded of specific events from his childhood history. Curses himself at every fight he loses, especially when it was an unfair fight.

Mental Trauma

See personal history. Had a lot of abuse from peers due to his ass follies, which stayed with Shammin until he rebooted his life post high school. Lots of social skill and mental fortitude degradation after Shammin left the village, as he lost his sense of purpose in life, struggled to exist, and spent decades alone. Some mild psychosis which appears to have subsided recently. Unclear trauma from experiencing physical death.

Intellectual Characteristics

More intellectually curious than one would assume based on his behavior and appearance. Strong intuition for problem solving which has been bludgeoned over the years, but is slowly shaping up again. Struggles to connect with people on an emotional level. Seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of gnome lore, material science, and regional flora/fauna. When raging, operates ruthlessly with tunnel vision, so needs external forces to reign him in appropriately to be as effective as possible.

Morality & Philosophy

Hard to pin down, especially with an assortment of eccentric opinions that he has independently developed over the years, as well as from living in squalor. He shares general overlap with common thoughts regarding morality, but differs on mostly inconsequential, yet specific details. Considers stealing to be a moral good, but only from deceased individuals or from insured businesses. 
 
Philosophically could be best described as being an anarcho-primitivist, and he values the physical world over the eternal.

person.sexuality

He is asexual. It is unclear if he has experienced sexual attraction to anyone over the course of his life.

person.gender_identity

Cisgender male, hasn't really put a lot of thought into it. With some encouragement could very likely traverse into crossdressing and gender fluidity.

Taboos

The nuclear family. Cheddar cheese. The sound of a wagon crossing over gravel.
