Chine is a character in Sangfielle. His class is the Cleaver.

Appearance

Chine is a human who is in the process of transforming into something more animalistic. He has a somewhat long and protruding nose, and knife-like and upturned (although still human-looking) ears. Their hair is unkempt and usually on the shorter side, and they cut it with a dagger when they get annoyed by it.

He wears a gambeson (padded armor with studs) with an extremely high collar going up to his nose, obscuring his mouth (but not his nose). He also wears a big, hooded poncho that looks like a quilt due to frequent patching done by Chine himself. Inside the poncho, they have stitched pockets of various sizes, which is where they keep most of their things.

Carried on his back, Chine wields a poleaxe, with a spear tip, axe head, and blunt hammer head.

Starting in Episode 13: Market Day, Chine has jet-black eyes that can see in darkness. Starting around the same time, their flesh glistens with mirror shards that twitch and glitter to blur their silhouette. This is not a smooth chrome, but more broken-up and shimmery.

Background

Chine was originally from Blackwick County and lived on a farm. When the land stopped being able to support crops, he set out to try and find solutions for that, such as trying to plant teeth. This journey led him down the rabbit hole towards becoming a Cleaver.

They have since returned to Blackwick, now as a monster hunter rather than a farmer.
