Character Name: John Boyton
Race (Available are: Humans, Elves, Half-Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, and Half-Orcs): Human
Age: 25
Sex: M
Strengths: All forms of combat, experienced killer of a variety of creatures, tracking, navigation, minor blacksmithing, minor carpentry, minor medicinal ability.
Weaknesses: No ability to sympathize with another human being, rarely able to properly analyze risk, no regard for danger to himself or others.
Personality: Functionally a psychopath. But he has done a fairly decent job of hiding it from people
Biography (At least two paragraphs): John Boyton was born the 4th son of a merchant family in a mountainside trading hub. He grew up learning business and manners, for he was to inherit 1/4 of the estate and business. He was apprenticed to several craftsman in the town to learn various trades and skills. But before his life could come to fruition, the dragons returned. A dragon swept through his town and killed all of John's family, except for him. When he stumbled out into the smoke and body filled street, something inside him broke.

He became a viscous monster, near-akin to the dragon that razed his town, becoming a hunter of dangerous beasts and people with bounties on their heads before finally joining the Hunters when he was 23. He received training from a guardsman whom he paid to teach him, the training lasted for several years while John perfected his skills on criminals and beasts. Eventually he outgrew the guardsman's ability, and at the age of 22, John was on his own. He scoured the lands, looking through bulletins and questioning bartenders for bounties on beasts and people. He was nearly killed 4-5 times before he started working in the guild. But he has not let that deter him from his lust for blood and death. When he joined up he was assigned to a small team of about 6 hunters working in Sidleyon. His first dragon was the Beta of an Adder pack, they were attacked at night and one of the hunters was killed in her sleep, while the Adders were beaten off, several of the members were injured and John had to be reassigned so that he could carry on hunting. He has landed killing blows several dragons, most notably a Hornnose, and assisted in the killing of many more, in an attempt to sate his thirst for violence and revenge. This he has never achieved. With a body count of over 60 assorted beasts, people, and dragons there is still a gaping whole where a soul should be.
Equipment: Crossbow with 35 bolts, dragon-scale shield, Brandistock spear (Functionally a switchblade spear, real thing), map, compass, large knife
Magic User: Y/N

No it wouldn't

Technology has been sitting relatively still for the past couple hundred years thanks to the dragon wars and the fall of the Albenyan empire

Technically you're right but they were very unreliable, highly inaccurate, and very expensive

Firearms were only available, well, before the renaissance. And the Dragon Wars happened around 100 years ago, and the "fall" of the Alnebyan Empire(which is still there) happened soon after, if I'm not mistaken? So I don't understand the whole "couple hundred years" bit.

The dragon wars ended 100 years ago, widespread dragon attacks were an issue that only climaxed in the 50 or so years before the end. And the Albenyan empire didn't just collapse over night, there were several years of secessionist fighting between the empire and rebel states.

Plus this my fantasy world, irl firearms might have begun to advance in this period, but not in this one

No, this last part I do understand. This is a story in the "fantasy" genre.

You've got a lot to say for something you have nothing to do with and know nothing about, you hear? I asked OP what weapons were available and you piped up. While that doesn't bother me so much, the fact is, by what you said, that would include firearms. If we were including real-life renaissance weaponry, then that would include firearms. No doubt about it, which is why I drilled it home. As for firearms in the RP, you and I both know that it's the OP's choice. That's why I didn't argue with him for having guns in the story. I only told him that renaissance technology includes guns because you decided to tell me we were having renaissance technology.
