Ruford was born to two loving parents and a sibling and was raised in a farm in the Kingdom of Haense. The man was never formally educated; as a result, his views of the world were molded entirely by his community and family. Previously built, owned, and named "Earthman Farmstead" by his grandfather, Ruford was raised to have a tough mind, strong body, and to hold family values over all. In his early 20s, however, his parents fell ill and passed away, leaving the farm to him and his brother. While it certainly made them no rich men, the two have ran it as a duo for nearly a decade. Combining his farm with the occasional odd job allows Ruford to enjoy sparse travel and varying cultures and company.
