The young swordsman was off on his own, ready to start his adventure, become famous... and all that other stuff that heroes and adventurers did. Having just left his hometown, off to find some big city or just somewhere to find work, he was walking along a path in the middle of a dimly lit forest. It was still daytime, but the trees cut out most of the sunlight.
The young man was about 19 years old, slim build and about 5'9''. He was fairly good-looking. Short red hair, just below his ears, complimented by bright blue eyes. The youth was dressed rather sharply, various shades of blue made up his attire as he made his way along the forest path.
