Pip was born in Arcas, in 1776 on a farmstead off the road that connects the Kingdom of Haense and the Kingdom of Norland. Here, his parents and older sister, Ashley, were farmhands who lived on the farm of those they worked for. Unfortunately, Pip's parents were fairly old when he was born, his mother passed away during childbirth and his father passed on the farm due to age induced illnesses. Because of this, Pip was raised by Ashley his entire childhood. As he approached ten years old, and was growing up, he helped out on the farmstead, meeting the other workers around campfire talks, and learning how to play guitarra morisca through Ashley, and the other farmhands. His childhood was sheltered, as he had no one to teach him how to hunt, or show him any experience that was frightening. As he reached his teenage years, it seemed apparent his childish and innocent nature wasn't going away. The other farmhands confronted Ashley with concern. Ashley was a kindhearted individual who believed it was good that Pip wasn't exposed to anything rough while growing up. As years went on, the farmhands concern grew greater and more and more they attempted to convince Ashley Pip needed to go out and at least learn to hunt something, anything to learn the world is more then singing around a fire.
When Pip reached 18, the farmhands spoke to Pip. They offered to sneak out with him and teach him to kill animals for food. Often during these hunting sessions, they would try to give there life lessons and experiences, though overtime a lot of the farmhands realized that while Pip was beginning to understand the world a little better, the innocence had become apart of his personality.
When Pip reached 21, Ashley told him they should move to Norland. Pip was unsure, but trusted his older sister and left with her. One of the farmhands traveled with them to make sure they made it well. Once they had gotten to Norland, they ordered a place to stay the night. All was well, until the next morning when Ashley had seemingly disappeared from thin air and was nowhere to be seen. The friend who'd traveled with them, stayed with Pip to see if Ashley would return but by the time the sun had set, she was still missing. The farm man offered to take Pip back to the farmstead, but he refused. He used half of the mina Ashley had saved for this move, to stay at the inn for a week. After that he realized she would not return, and so he bought some food and decided to begin travelling the world using any method he could in an effort to try and find his missing sister.
Pip's eyes scanned the bustling environment with wonder. The ocean, the chatter, the buildings aplenty. He stretched his arms outwards and spun around taking in the scene that was way more exciting then anything his farm-boy background had offered him. Turning back to the smiling gentleman, he smiled back.
"Hello sir! I'm searching for my missing and hopefully not dead sister!-" He cut himself off, realizing that he was coming across a lot happier then he should be, and hastily attempted to reconcile his answer.
"I mean- Have you seen a black haired woman? Blue eyes? Looks kinda like me but old?" Waiting for his answer, he awkwardly shifted unsure where to place his arms. He settled for crossed, though it looked odd on the childish young man.
