In-Character Information:
Complete the following biography on your character:

Full Name: Xirgis
Current Age: 12 seasons (84 years old)
Sub-race (if any): Forest Dwarf
Clan (if any): /

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Xirgis was born in a very hard, forest environment. Almost immediately abandoned by his parents, he was left alone. Not for long after he was left for unknown reasons, he was found by a lone wandering dwarf. His name unknown, raised Xirgis to the person he is now. He teached Xirgis to love nature. He learned him that everything has a cycle, a season. This was also the case for the relationship between Xirgis and his 'father'. He never said his name to his adopted son. Also for the reason that their relationship had a 'season'. One day, they would each venture their own way. And at the age of 3 seasons, his 'father' suddenly left Xirgis. 

His father never gave him a surname.

He now stood on his own. He had the freedom to go everywhere he wanted, whenever he wanted. Living from the things nature gave him (note: this was an important lesson from his father 'only take what is given'). He was very grateful for every little thing he found and he could really enjoy the little things in life. He wandered around in the forest he was raised in (the forests east of kal'anarth). He never saw other humanoid creatures and never had the urge to learn a language. He and his father communicated trough mimicry and gestures). Xirgis encountered a very harsh winter during his 11 season and was forced to venture outside his home forest. He traveled south, to the forests northeast of Kal'Mugdor. Great adventures lie before him. What will he find there? What will he encounter? All questions that remain unanswered. 


Ambitions for the Future: Settle myself in the forests to the northwest of Kal'Mugdor. Learn more of the local ecology. Try to preserve the local ecology. One of his goals is to meet his 'father' again and to answer the questions 'why did my parents left me behind?'. He wants to meet his real parents again.

Personality: Xirgis hardly ever speak to other people. He never developed a real language and expressed himself in gestures, simple sounds and a wide array of gestures. Xirgis is considered friendly but shy. He'll never take the first step to communicate. Xirgis can find joy from the little things in life (a butterfly, a sunny day, a quiet spot to fish, ...). 

Skills: Xirgis has a great array of survival skills. Also, he has a knowledge of ecology and nature. He learned a specific philosophy from his 'father' to deeply respect nature.

Open-Response-Questions
Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
____

1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds of Kalos you see a large deposit of diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable,but it is the only way to access the deposit. What do you do?

Answer: I leave it alone. I'm not interested in precious ores, unlike many other dwarves. My interests lie in the forces of living things. I just think to myself 'who will be the next person to find this? He will certainly try to get the ore...? Must I warn somebody? Must I leave a mark?' Since he never learned a language, he just marks the spot with a big red 'X'. He hopes other people will get the message. 

2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are sitting whispering to each other and pointing occasionally at the dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?

Answer: I stand up and grasp the young dwarf in an attempt to drag him away from the apparent assaulters. I do this in a comical manner, pretending I am a friend of the young dwarf. I hope this will scare of the shady dwarves as the young dwarf will find himself with an ally. I also take the wooden toy with me. From the moment we are safe, i'll leave him alone since i'm not interested in the affairs of others. My only interest is nature and it's creations. 

3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get ye’rself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you - a huge grin on his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?

Answer: I kindly nod to the bartender that i'm not interested. I live from nature and have a great dislike of man produced things (I only consume my own produce).
