Full
Name: Kalin Ashford

Current
Age: 27

Sub-race
(if any): none

Past
/ History (include
childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Kalin Ashford was born
on a mid summers eve in the land of Orin. His father was a farmer from Salvus
who deiced to steal down to the countryside and make a farm to live a peaceful
life with his family. Kalin only had one brother named Matthew who was ten
years older than him. Kalins early childhood consisted mainly of him sitting on
the porch of their farm house, looking out to his father and brother in the
fields.

        When Kalin turned 7 his father took him
out for his first day of field work. Day after day Kalin would go to sleep with
blisters, but this hardened him and made him strong. When he was was nine,
nothing would grow and the fields could not produce anything that year. One day
when Kalin was getting some feed for the chickens he over heard an argument
between his brother and father. Intrigued he put down the feed and snuck over
to the window of the house and tried to make out as much as he could but all he
heard was something about the city and the land being all dried up. The following
week his brother went missing with no trace.

        For the next ten years Kalin took over
most of the operation of the farm. Strange things began to happen though,
Animals would get spooked in the middle of the night and food would just
disappear. One night his father felt very ill and had a fever so Kalin went out
to fetch some water from the well. When was half way there he saw a figure
standing on the boarder of the farm. He cried out to it, but it ran into the
brush. Forgetting the water Kalin ran back to the house and grabbed a kitchen
knife and sat by his father’s bed. He woke up the next morning to find that
nothing was taken that night.

        For the next week everything was back to
normal his father said that he was fine and not to worry. Kalin decided to take
the trips into town since his father was sick and week. When Kalin returned he
found the farm house and barn on fire. He left the cart and ran for the well.
He tried to extinguish the fire with bucket after bucket, But he was not fast
enough. The celling of the barn collapsed
trapping the animals inside. Leaving the barn he rushed for the house but as he
was running he saw the same figure he saw a week ago looting his cart. Kalin
rush to the figure and knocked him down with all his force. The man fell and
Kalin quickly held him there and turned him around to see his face. As he look
at the face he realized that it was his brother and Kalin quickly let go of
him.

        He was about to ask why he would do
something like this and where he had been for the past ten years, but before he
could even say a word his brother kicked out his legs and Kalin fell and
everything went black. When he woke everything was burnt to the ground. Kalin
was stricken with grief as he went to the house to search for remains of his father
but found nothing left but ashes and his iron sword. Kalin stood there there
and vowed that he would find out why matthew would do this and kill anyone else
involved. From that day on Kalin has been traveling from town to town, city to
city, until he found himself in the city of Salvus.

Ambitions for the Future: Kalin does not plan
much for the future, but just wants to live in the moment and to find his
brother.

Personality: He is quiet, but is
usually dark and seeks justice for the wrong doings of others. His grim
attitude makes many resent him.

Skills: He is stealthy, good at bartering, decent with a
sword, and he is very strong.

muscle with a scar on his left arm. He is bald and has a full beard. He usually
wears basic cotton and leather clothes. He has blue eyes and has dark brown
hair, but none on his head.

Any other details you wish to share about

and

face.

to
panic and tries to jerk out of Kalin’s grasp. Kalin drops the knife but he
keeps his free hand on the man holding him down. “Guards!” screams kalin.

something
about his mom. Kalin sighs and slaps the man trying to get him to

talk
normally. “Stop crying and I will think about not killing you” said

kalin.

and
my brother and I don’t work for anyone” said the bandit. Kalin sighs and

throws
the man on the ground and kicked him in the side of the head. Kalin

looks
up to the old man and says “Their fate are in your hands now kill them

land
on a elven dagger and elven rope. “how much for the rope and dagger?”

said
Kalin. The man looks at the dagger and ropes and thinks for a minute.

“100
minas for both” said the man. “How about 50 minas and you have a deal”

said
Kalin. “ are you trying to rob me blind” said the man “this blade alone

is
worth at least 75 minas by itself”. Kalin thought for a long time then decides
to take the deal but only if he got food with it. “I will give you the 100
minas but you have to throw in at least enough food to last me to the next town”
said kalin. “Deal” said the man and he quickly handed over the items. Kalin
smiled took the items and packed the food into his pack and continued on his
way in search of his brother
