ROLEPLAY SCENARIO:
Sebastian--clad in initiate's armor--found himself hiding from the downpour of a torrential storm in a roadside tavern. He waltzed in, the clank of his boots hitting the creaking wooden floor, as those inside the tavern stopped their chatter to look at the newcomer, who was evidently not from the area. Sebastian was not uncomforted by this though, but instead sat near the hearth to warm his hands. He called the barmaid over, asking her for a pint of mead. "Also;" He added, "Where might I find work, perhaps as a stablehand?" The barmaid was rather quick to respond, saying that they had a position just opened for working with the horses at the tavern. Sebastian offered a few coin, and said he'd take the position. This is where his journey began...
Backstory:
Sebastian Calavera was born in the Duchy of Alba to a small Hyspian family. Sebastian was poor and found himself working for his younger siblings, sometimes having to resort to sneaking food from local stalls to provide for his family. His father was a hard-working man too, but after losing his job in the fall of Haense--a place where he did most of his trade--the only place to flee to was the new rising kingdoms. Work came difficult for his father, since he was a fur trader, and Alba hosted a fairly warm climate compared to the cold and dreary Haense. Instead, Sebastian's father relied on hunting and selling venison rather than fur, but hunting was usually reserved for the nobility. Sebastian grew up determined to make some sort of income for his family, so he joined different mercenary groups or military groups that would support his family. He grew older, and eventually his father and mother passed around a similar time, leaving Sebastian to care for his two younger siblings.
