This is an idea I had floating around in my mind for some time. Basically you have a kingdom working with a 13th to 15th century technology base which, when faced with the prospects of destruction and enslavement at the hands of a vicious and numerically superior enemy decides in desperation to evacuate as many people as it can before it is overrun across the sea and had to rebuild from scratch, often with minimal tools and aide. This guy is from around 20 years after the evacuation, part of a generation who had grown up in this strange new land. Even so, things were not always peaceful in this new land. There were clashes with the neolithic natives, some of the scattered refugee colonies turned to raiding their fellows for food and supplies and other such unpleasantness. As such warriors were needed. While some arms and armor were brought along, there was not a lot of it and even that slowly began to suffer from attrition due to wear and tear, rust and stuff getting lost. There were some blacksmiths, but most of them were generalists and not particularly good weaponsmiths or armor. This guy is equipped entirely with colonial made weapons. More specifically he's got a shot spear, a hatchet, a basic steel helmet, a square wood shield and finally a suit of crocodile hide armor. Crocodiles proved to be a hazard of this new world to both the refugees and their livestock but also a useful boon due to their meat and hides. Though it was not up to snuff with mail or plate it did work reasonably well. He also has shorts for the warm climate.
