(The history of this server is incredibly extensive, and I admit I did not browse through most of it. Because of this, I have opted to write a short, generic background with witch to build from as I play.)
William Novak was born in a small village in the Highlander kingdom of Haense. His parents were poor serfs who worked the land as farmers and he in turn was a poor serf who would inherit his fathers position as a farmer. All his life he had dreamed of making something more of himself, but destiny had always seemed to work against him. Despite their poverty, William’s mother had managed to teach him to read and write as well as articulate his words in a way that would befit the nobility. She had previously served as a servant to the nobility before marrying Williams father, and thus was afforded a modest education she was able to pass on to her children. When William would finish his work in the fields, he would retire to his room and read by candlelight. Often he would dream of striking out on his own and forging his own destiny, rather than living a predetermined life. By the age of twenty-six William was ready to give up this dream, and began to focus on his work. Until, he was surprised by his parents one evening. It turns out that they struck a deal with their local lord to buy Williams freedom, thus severing his ties to the land and allowing him to travel wherever he wished. Overjoyed, William gathered his things the next day and hugged his family goodbye as he took his first steps as a free man. Today, William travels the world as he tries to find new meaning to his life...
