Shelvins are amazing people. True and genuine - they never take anyones crap. You don't want to get on the bad side of a Shelvin - they take revenge to a whole other level, but once you get to know a Shelvin you will see just how sweet and caring they really are. They are loyal to their family and friends and would do anything for them. If you show them respect and treat them well, they will be the most amazing person you've met. Shelvins may hurt your feelings with-ought meaning to, due to blurting out what they think - they are very honest and upfront about everything, but they always apologize, and they're great at hugs :)

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
