Despite is general calm, he is usually shaken by odd sights, such as his friend Rosland's desire to eat things (usually his other friend, Evan). He also dislikes gluttony, shown to be entirely disgusted by it. He will almost always call someone out on pointless gluttony.

==History==
===Birth===
Scarz was in a small sustenence farm villiage on the Great Plains. He was born to a rather large family of farmers, and artists. He was born with no complications. 
===Early life===
Scarz's early life consisted of him learning to farm. In his little spare time, he played with the many knives that were used for tools on his farm. It was at this time he and his family discovered Scarz's innate gift; He possessed a true Photographic memory. 
Scarz was able to tell which knife was used for what just by memory, while the others on the farm needed to carefully examine each knife to tell the difference between the similar ones.
===Later Childhood===
Scarz took whatever time he could to learn about knives. Whenever he could, he found something that he could use to carve with the knives he owned, whether it was the soap he had, or the walls of the Barnhouse. He slowly got more and more skilled, over time.
Scarz become even more skilled when he was able to buy blocks of wood to practice on. Within a year or so, he became very skilled in carving, able to craft a complex, lifelife locust at the age of 12. 
===Teenage Years===
During his Teenage Years, Scarz's ability to craft wood came to a peak. He started selling his sculptures for money, and using the excess money to but more materials. As he did this, he further neglected his farmwork, the familt tradition, creating a rift between him and his father.
Eventually, he and his father got into an argument about what he should end up doing. Scarz defended his hobby, pointing out it made the farm more money than he himself could by farming alone. His father argued that he was wrong to go against tradition. Before it could turn violent, Scarz's mother intervened and stopped the argument.
After several more arguments of this caliber, Scarz decided it would be best if he left, not wanting to rip his family apart. He gathered his belonging,s and managed to hitchhike to a nearby city, where he attempted to craft a living out with his carvings.
===Gang Fight===
Life did not start easy for Scarz. He barely managed to get a consistant place to sleep at night. But, he slowly managed to get noticed, and eventually tookup residence with a lone man. Unknown to him, the man was in deep trouble with the local gangs of the town.
One night, Scarz found himself in the middle of a murder attempt by several gang members. While he didn't fully understand what was going on, he used the skills he had with knives to easily combat the gang members. 
Scarz was wounded in the exchange, and taken to the hospital. He now had a large scar where he was slashed; over the eye. From that time on, people had a tendency to call him Scarz, due to the injury, and the skills he possessed with a knife.
