Appearance

Henry is casually seen wearing simple clothes which don't seem to vary much; cotton shirts and leggings, always paired with the same pair of black boots which seem well worn.

His armor isn't too flashy either, dented, iron breastplate with chain-mail leggings which seem to be worn down from wear.

Personality

Henry is fairly happy-go-lucky guy, and is always happy to meet new people. He is fairly hard to break, being tolerant of most things. He enjoys the outdoors compared to the confines of a building, and likes the rain more than any other weather. He's a lover of peace, but uses his skills with a two handed broadsword to vent and frustrations when fighting or give himself a way to work out whilst training.


History

Henry Dickingson hails from Pyrewood village, which lies in Silverpine forest. Born to a huntsman Father and tailor Mother, he is the youngest of his family and an only child. His Father and his uncle worked together most of the time, and shortly after Henry's first birthday, his Father was felled in the forest, his Uncle taking over his role as Henry's fatherly figure.

His Mother and Uncle purchased a new house that could house themselves, Henry and his Uncle's two sons (whose mother died during their childbirth), the five becoming a family unit. Henry's grandmother lived in the house next to them, the family was fairly close to one another. Most of Henry's childhood consisted of hunting with his Uncle and Cousins, being taught to knit by his grandmother (and apparently excelling at it, despite how boring he found it), played with the other children and evaded school (He remains illiterate to this day): a fairly normal childhood.

The day the village befell the curse brought upon them from Arugal's rituals, Henry and his two Cousins were out hunting by themselves, three of a small number who dodged the bullet, The trio managed to evade most of the slaughter that night, quickly setting up a system with his Uncle and Mother. Every night at 7pm, they'd leave the village, trekking into the forest where they (over the first few days, where they hid up tree's for the evening) locked themselves and several other unturned citizens inside, silver objects like shields decorating the outside.

Whilst the system worked for the most part, the transformed humans never straying that far from the village, Henry's Mother and Uncle advised him and his Cousins to leave the village and find somewhere else to live in case something went wrong. The three ignored the advice for a long while before forming a small caravan of unturned to leave the village. The group split up once they'd left the forest, Henry and his Cousins sticking together until they arrived at Menethil, going their seperate ways from there as the Cousins had acquired jobs at the port.

Henry continued traveling, and has yet to find somewhere he feels comfortable enough to settle down. He's visited major cities such as Ironforge, Stormwind, Darnassus and the Exodar when it landed, as well as numerous settlements spread around the Eastern Kingdoms, and opts to use one of the aforementioned cities as a general hub for a month or two at a time before moving on to another or a settlement for a change of scenery. He keeps in touch with his Mother and Uncle via letters.
