Storyline/ History/ Background

Bruce was found in Arrowglen of Nendarth, by an elderly Dwarven woman named Lurhila. Lurhila found him behind her home, assuming that he was abandoned by his parents. She took the young colt into her care and raised him as her own. She taught him about the world around them; teaching him how to speak dwarvish, common language and was always his biggest supporter. Bruce took a lot of her morals on life and made it part of his own. He loved to help her and others, even when they didn't want it. He never really understood why some of the other Dwarvinfolk gave him weird stares. It never occurred to him that he was different.

When Bruce turned 11, Lurhila started to notice her health declining; not due to sickness, but because of old age. She spoke with Bruce and had to explain to him about her having to leave him one day. She was even honest enough to let him know about how different, but special he was. Bruce, as any child hearing this, understood but was deeply stressed and filled with the fear of change. He made every day worth his best efforts and tried to make Lurhila happy until the end.

A year went by and Bruce found Lurhila had passed away peacefully in her sleep. Due to Lurhila's status of being well known for her kindness in the village, her death was devastating to many who knew her. The village, whether it was in an uproar of emotions over the death or possibly accusation for the cause of death, banished Bruce from attending her burial. Later that week, he was chased out of his empty home without any time to prepare for the outside world. 

He ran west as far as he could before stopping to find a place to camp for the night. He didn't sleep well the first night; terrified for what could be out there. That next morning, he continued on the path he was heading, having a long road ahead of him. About a week in, he reached the edge of the Argent Vale. Due to some of Lurhila's teachings and having helped her around the house, he was able to identify safe edible food and know a few simple survival tricks like starting a fire. He traveled for a time, still heading west, and along the way, he started to pick up more survival skills like tracking. He still wasn't the best at it, but it was decent.

After about 3 months of travel, he finally came across the region of the Centaur Woods. They took him to Anvey whom allowed him to stay as long as he helped around. Bruce agreed and they taught him how to speak Sylvan, how their kind worked, and even helped train him in some combat for self protection. He helped out with chores and small tasks. For a little while, he did side jobs like pulling carts and delivering goods.

When he was 20, he was in a nearby town, delivering goods when he spotted a flyer looking for bounty hunters. He decided to go check it out and was instructed that there were some people who needed debts to pay off. Wanting something different, he took the job; at first, it was hard for him not to be nice, but then he started to get the hang of it. Doing so many of his clients were humans and elves, which in turn, he started to learn Elvish on the job. He started to train himself in battle tactics and a bit of healing since some of his debtors did things the hard way. He did this job for about 4 years before he was summoned to do a job for someone known as "The Collector".

Medical History: Last check-up was 3-4 years ago. He was all up to date. He went in for small things like a dislocated shoulder, some cuts and bruises from rough-housing with debtors.
Language(s): Common, Dwarvish, Elvish, Sylvan
Short Term Goals: Meeting “The Collector” and finding out what they need.
Long Term Goals: Finding a soulmate. Living life to the fullest.

Motivation:

• Regret: Wanting to experience everything and not miss an opportunity that comes his way.
• Life: He believes you should cherish life and all it has to offer everyday. Not to let it waste away since you may be reincarnated.
• Strength: All those who supported him to keep on pushing past the hardships and negativity.
• Memories: Feeds him the positivity and negativity of what he hopes for and wants to avoid recurring.

His "Cuss" Words
Due to him not liking to cuss, he makes up words. Only if he was raging would he not censor himself.

• "Eat Grass!"
• "Son of a Traitor!"
• "That's Trubish!"
• "That sounds like Horsetail."
• "Cornnuts!"
