Ah, Adol Christin...
From the time he left his homeland
at age 16 to the final years of his life,
he surrendered each and every day of his existence
to fate, wandering the world in search
of his next adventure.
Yeah, I've been playing a lot on my PSP in the recent days, a lot of "Ys: The Oath in Felghana" to be acurate. I've got this picture directly from the games galery. He is, if you haven't figured, the main protagonist of the Ys series. He's a swordsman wandering around the world to find his next adventure and be the hero of the day. I like the Ys series, it is a pretty interesting and quite challenging game series. If you like hack'n'slash styled games with a bit of platforming and intense boss battles then this game is for you (released on both PC/Steam and PSP).
Note: It's pronounced [I:s] and not english Y with an s behind it.
