Hermit_Jack

Born in Dunshire, he spent his time as a kid helping to work his parent's land and developing his love of dirt, shovels, and simple living (as a halfling should). His life was fairly simple and happy during this time.
    When Minto turned 25, his dad went through a Halfling "mid life crisis" and made the decision to move the family to the wildlands - hoping to combine the lax, merry life of a halfling while getting the excitement of the interaction with other races. This was considered a radical decision by his mom and other village members – as Halflings have an innate love of tradition, large families, and being together.
    Life in The Wildlands came as a culture shock for many years - Minto's small size and age made him a target of many. Having resented his father's decision to move into The Wildlands, his relationship with his family became tainted. This relationship would never truly be patched back up. Minto was headed down a road of immense anger and frustration at the world and those around him.
    He soon would come to find solace and understanding in a wise, older Human named Erik Gibson. Erik was a farfolk human who lived life in The WIldlands as mostly a hermit in pursuit of self growth. Erik saw the hatred and evil gathering in Minto’s heart, and attempted to guide the Halfling. Erik became a mentor and fatherly figure for Minto, ensuring his heart would remain gentle and trusting. Minto would would develop his sense of humor based on these values. 
    Now at the age of 45, He has learned to love and embrace the culture of others.Because of Erik, his speech mimics more that of a human than a Halfling. He hasn't traveled much outside of Dunshire and The Wildlands, but with the recent passing of Erik, he now hopes to move to the Halfling village of Brandybrook for a new start and connection with his culture.
