Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):I was bought into Asulon upon a tide of pain of suffering. Beaten, abused, and locked away by those who called themselves my parents. A title they did not deserve. Not a single day passed where my eyes did not burn with the liquid of sufferance. I was kept away, locked in a room, beaten on the whim of my Oppressors. We lived in the wilds, away from Civilisation which, according to my torturers, was the better way, hidden in a house built from wood and earth. For all my childhood days I saw not a new face. Neither did I see the light of day for more than an hour a day, where I had to hunt with my bow with my father. That hour single hour was the highlight of my day, the thing I longed from day to night in the darkness of my room. That beautiful wilderness, with the safety and sanctity of the tree’s and sun on your back all capturing wonder in my heart. I was trained, rather beaten into mastery of a bow when hunting with my father. Each miss earned a beating, so I learned to never miss.

Years went on as my suffering continued, until it happened. Were we out late on a hunt, my father and I, when we heard a scream from the house. We ran back to find my mother dead, surrounded by 3 members of the dead. My father screaming in a berserk rage charged the Zombies with his axe held high. I stood there, and watched. Watched my father ripped apart by those things, things I had been threatened to be killed by if protested and made noise, from my late parents. I heard the screams, and I smiled. I smiled when the screaming stopped, and I smiled when I loosed my arrows into the Zombies heads, and I smiled when I stood over the corpses of my erstwhile ‘parents’. I ran away, a boy of 15, living, surviving in the woods; staying away from human presence, hiding in the trees, the fog and secret caves. Time passed, as I turned into a man, a recluse. A name appeared in my head, one my Dictator’s had not given me, Reclus. With time came some healing of my mind, my emotions. I’m still a recluse; I never will like entering towns or be near crowds of others. My mind will remain sadistic. But hard times have pushed me into towns into civilization; it’s more dangerous out there, for one not small enough to hide in cracks and holes anymore. Maybe more time will heal my mind, my pain, my nightmares, the majesty of the wilderness and the trees help. But for now, my mind is filled with hatred, for all those pathetic humans around me, hidden away, waiting to come out. I’ll stick to the Trees for now, they are my only friends

What is your Character's ambitions?:

To live among the elves, those who value the majesty of the trees, but for now it’s to survive, even if it means among humans and other people.

Welcome to Asulon!

Please be patient while a moderator promotes you in game.

Just be weary, you acted a bit like a villain in the application, but before acting out villainous acts you must fill out a villain app.
