This is my first time to join an RPG like this. Please let me know if there are things to change, etc. Also, please let me know if I did it right. I thought that maybe my character might have too many skills (Or even the wrong skills/jobs/occupations), but I'll let you guys be the judge. Also, I sort of figured that the history/background was a bit far-fetched, but I wasn't sure. Please let me know. Thanks.

Humanities: (sociology, philosophy) Eden had always been one that loved to gain knowledge, and was quite interested in philosophy. In fact, he gained a tutor of the years that shed some light on the the subject, and taught him quite a bit. He has read several books on the subjects, and still tries to continue or further his knowledge in this field.
Background Info:
History: Eden had supposedly been an orphan since he could remember, under the belief his parents died during their service in the Star Army. In truth, he had been Given to his uncle to be cared for due to the fact that they were not fit to raise a child, and Eden found that he was unhappy with the way that his uncle treated him. In fact, the man often lied to him and abused him, changing his view of others and the world around him. His uncle, the entire time (though Eden did not know this) had planned to make the child regret all life and live in anger, hatred, and regret. This way, he would be able to live up to being a ruthless and uncaring spy/assassin, after being trained in the right places. He had planned to sell the boy to the highest bidder, so that the buyer would have a boy with experience in such emotions that they could teach from a young age.
His uncle's attempts fell short, however, and Eden managed to excape his grasp. However, emotional and phsycological scars still melted into his heart and mind, and he couldn't help but think that everyone was the same, that everyone would want to betray and abandon him. He viewed the world in the way that his uncle had wanted him to, living solely on the beliefs that he was raised to know and recognize. And so, shying away from others and keeping away from those that tried to come close to him (both physically and emotionally), he became an outcast, a person that was afraid to give away his emotions, whether they were good or bad. He often found himself afraid to, for many reasons.
He grew to know "streetsmarts" during his life on the streets and with the other orphans/refugees. He became a wanderer, a vagabond. He met a philospher, a man specializing in humanities - and found that this type of knowledge was very interesting to him. He found himself quite drawn to the acts of the human or humanoid creature, and the ways that the mind worked. He would often study nights on end, debating and arguing with this man. However, there was a time when he found that life was not enough. He wanted a goal, a reason to live.
And so, he enlisted in the Star Army of Yamatai. He found that his skills would come of good use, were he to get the correct rank and occupation, and that he would be able to find opportunity there rather than living as a wanderer and an orphan. He thinks that perhaps he still has hope for the future, and knows that the Star Army is most likely the only thing that can keep that hope alive.
Personality: Eden never lets his emotions and feelings get in the way of his duties. Though he can often give into regret, anger, or other intense emotions, they will rarely influence him or the outcome of his goal. He had once strove to be as neutral as possible, but he knows where his loyalties lie now, and he will never be dishonest or disloyal to those that he works under unless he sees it logically fit. He is a smart man, but tends to keep away from others, hiding what he feels under a misterious, indifferent expression and a coldness in his eyes.
He often takes life itself for granted, casting fear aside because of his thoughts that it is a weakness in most cases. He is cold and blunt, and says what he thinks or is the truth, rather than regarding others' feelings first. Underneath is very caring and appreciative, but he has an awefully hard time showing it.
Likes: He is intolerant of those that are close-minded and unopen to new ideas, and hates crowds, preferring the silence as he has time to think. He appreciates those that understand him, and can relate to him.
Dislikes: He dislikes talkative people, crowds, stupidity, close-minded folk, racism.
Goals: He is perhaps driven by the fact that he finds no immediate reason to be alive - he strives to be the best he can be, and do the best that he can, so that someday, he might actually find what he has been waiting for, and will be able to live up to it and its standards, whatever it may be. So in another words, his goal - ironically - is to find a goal worth living for.

How about.... he THINKS he's an orphan?
