Chef de Cuisine

"The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a star."ANTHELME BRILLAT-SAVARIN, Physiologie du Gout
Presenting himself with a warm, sincere smile, this bright-haired man showed passion in his work. Though once proud knight of God has tried to put aside his past life, he has found one anew within the confines of a kitchen. A new found zest for a life he had never experienced before! From the battlefield and directly into the halls of Royalty and Nobility, he is a man that has come a long way in such a short time - in both personal life and talent as a chef.
Despite being kind and generous, his quick advance in this new life of his often leaves him socially awkward to the public eye. Quick to embarrass, and even quicker to lend a hand. He's typically found with a lot on his mind, either frantically writing down recipes, sometimes even practicing his swordsmanship or magic. Even if something deeper, darker, clings to him, this passionate chef tries his hardest to remain positive and focused on the tasks at hand.

-ooc notes-
First and foremost, this character is not meant to push any ideology, just to have fun. Sorry if it offends.
I've honestly had this character for over ten years, but have kept it on the back-burner (hah, cooking pun!) all this time. Originally, he started out as an NPC created and controlled by a dear friend of mine. He was intended to be played as a full-fledged character for the first time during a large story line. Unfortunately, his creator passed away before that story line started. So, I adopted this guy in his honor, but never felt right playing or developing him until now, because he's really grown on me these last few years. I've kept his past intact, as a tribute to my friend's work before he passed, and now I'm adding my own touches.
Okay, folks! I'm seeking artists to do art and portraits for ol' Ger here. If you're interested in giving it a shot, feel free to whisper me if I haven't already contacted you. I'm a pretty friendly guy, so don't be shy.
