Aric was the result of an union between an elf and a human. His birth carried a curse in the eyes of traditionalists. Whispers of heresy spread quickly through the realm he’s from and what should've been a celebrated family, the family became a symbol of disgrace. The people arrived without warning, banners lit by torchlight, wanting to rid of the child that was half human and half elf. These people did not come to speak, they came to erase what they believed should never have been. Aric was told to run, and he did. He ran into the forest, into the life he never asked for. He kept running, through towns where no one knew him, across places. Eventually he ran away from the life that betrayed him. Bitterness didn't consume him, he developed a deep empathy for races, understanding the suffering caused by division. He has and will refuse to pledge allegiance to any single faction. He will refuse to see race, status and power. There are no sides in his eyes, as he will see the world without hate and without indifference.
