His family had lived has been mountain dwarfs for centuries. Braten although growing up in the mountains had always wanted to grow up to travel and trade goods. Nobody knew why he wanted to take up this profession. His dad and elders always tried to convince him to stay in the mountains with his family. He still wanted to leave.

One night his dad came home so drunk he started to hit Braten. Braten fought back though being a strong dwarf for his age( which is 98 ). But then his dad pulled a knife on him. Braten was so scared he thathe was so cloase to death. He then ran out of the house to the entrance to the city. He thought... should he stay and try to fight his dad or run away and go live the life he wanted. His dad was getting closer when Braten made his decision and ran out of the city. Braten doesn't know whatever happened to his father that night, but he didn't care he just kept running. He soon got tired but his family lived on close to the elven border so he went to the first elven city he saw. He then begged for minas. After earning some minas, he headed to the local Inn. He slept out the night.

In the morning Braten headed farther in to the elven lands to find a new home to start his life before going on his journey. He reached a bigger elven apartment where he stayed in an Inn fr a couple nights and worked at the local blacksmith. After earning so more minas he went to the general store, bought some food and goods, and set off to travel and trade goods around the world.

Your characters ambitions: To travel around the world and trade goods and maybe one day return to his home.

"Eh, what are ya doing to that there elf?" Bandit " None of your business you drunk." Me " Eh, but thats where your wrong im sober enogh to beat ya." Bandit " is that a challenge?" *he charges at me but i dodge out of the way and he runs head first into a tree. Then the bandit with no weapon engages me in a fist fight. Good thing i carry my lucky dagger around. I draw my dagger and slice his arm, when an arrow comes whistling by my face and strikes him the chest. I turn to see the elf with a bow drawn* Elf " Thank you for saving me." " No problem lad."

Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? " Eh you got any food in here?" Shop owner " Yes, sir we do." Me" I'll take your bread then." Him " that will be 10 minas sir." Me *hands money* " there you are have a good one." Him " you to sir."
