Were you born in the country, City, underground, etc? Where were you raised if different from your place of birth?: (The Wood of Sharp Teeth) I was born and raised in an area that was a ways from any significant town in any direction. The place was hidden deep in a forest and, during my time there, I only managed to find three homes similar to ours, one abandoned and none friendly. As soon as I thought I was old enough to care for myself, I took up a nomadic lifestyle.

Do you have a family? Describe how they, or a mentor, influenced your life. My known family was very small. I am an only child and grew up with a strict and demanding mother. If it wasn't perfection, it wasn't good enough for her. Occasionally, we would make trips to the city of see my "lazy" father, but she made sure that happened as little as possible. There's been a bitter dispute between the two of them for some years. If they inspired me to do anything, it was to find a less boring and trivial way to live my life.

Why did you leave home to take up adventuring? What do you hope to accomplish? Consistantly moving around with new things to see and do everyday seems appealing. Also, nothing is required for an adventurer. As long as you get in, get the job done, and get out alive, nobody cares. My only goal in the process of doing this is to live an interesting life. I truly do not care about helping others or becoming a conversation topic.

How did you choose a class and what did you do to learn the skills you have now? Hitting things is a skill that I have long since learned. In fact, it has either been a hobby or a habit of mine ever since childhood. Therefore, it would make sense to choose a class where I cloud hone in on that ability. Most fighter classes seem haughty to me and that is not the way I wish to publicly appear. So, I chose what I thought was the humblest of the bunch: clerics. Although I am fairly new to the ability of casting spells, it interests me and is not something I mind putting time into studying.

Do you have any known enemies? Are there any particular monsters that you hate or fear? Thanks to being a nobody at current date, I do not believe I have any significant enemies. I am not particularly fond of any monster. I see no real purpose for them to have been put on the planet, therefore the world would be better off without them. The ones that smell like they've lived in a trash heap their entire lives are especially bad. Due to a certain...mental image, I would prefer to avoid anything rodent-like if it is at all possible

Do you have any interesting mannerisms, habits, characteristics? How did you come by these or how did they develop? I do not tend to speak much. Many a time, my mother would yell at me to be quiet or fully ignore me. So, over time, I began to prefer silence. Granted, there are some situations where speaking is required, but if you're smart enough, you can narrow down those encounters a significant amount. Besides, when I speak, I am nearly always lebeld as rude or blunt. It is also common for me to stare. Most of the time, it's a side effect of me zoning out, but I have been known to stare at people, scenes or objects for long periods of time just to take everything in.

Did you know any of your group mates before arriving at Castle Hill? Why are you traveling with this caravan? Explain how you know your group mates or how you happened to be sitting at the same table in the Weary Wanderer Inn for dinner. I had not been traveling with the caravan intentionally, we just happened to be going in the same direction. I did not know any of the travelers myself. When the caravan stopped at the inn, I shared a table with some of the travelers to see if I could glean any useful information from them (Then designated quest event started, blah blah)
