Back when he was but a little lad around the age of 8, he lived with his older brother Larticus. Unfortunatly, it was just them, as the family had always been the poorest of the poor and the bottom of the barrel. So, their parents did what many other loving ones would do in this situation and sacrifice their needs and hungers to feed their children. However, this backfired. When they were through and could take no more, Garen and Larticus were left to fend for themselves. Larticus took it upon himself as the older brother to care for his sibling. He would often go out onto the busy streets of the kingdom and begging for a simple crumb to quench their restless hunger, due to their being seldom any work for a poor bum who lived off of others. As times grew worse and worse, with Galen reaching about 10 years of age by now, the two resorted to desperate attempts to get out of their painful cycle. This had little to no success. They were malnourished and their bodies were eating away at them. Larticus could see this with dissaproving eyes but was powerless to stop it. However, that was then when they came. A group of hooded figures found the two passed out on the edge of a street. They dragged Galen off unconcious, but when his older brother regained awareness and tried to resist they swiftly ended him. It was obvious the strangers were not kidding around. They spent years training and coaching Galen into believing they had saved him from his "evil" brother, of whom stole most of the food and money collected from the begging for himself. This was accompnied by forcing him to do slave work for the bandits with their excuse as "You are safe, warm and fed here. This is your payment to us." Despite these words, the living conditions were horrendous. Galen would often have to eat from leftovers off the floor aswell as from the bin. He slept on the cold mossy floor where there was a leak in the ceiling that would constantly wake him up mid slumber. Galen did not care about this, and still believed everything they said. After all, they were the only voices available to his young impressionable ears. This pattern of coaching and lieing carried on further throughout his teens and into his adulthood. The shady group brought Galen closer in eventually as an actual member, although still being treated as dirt. As the years went by him and the group did many unspeakable things. They raided homes, burnt people's livelyhoods, destroyed their possessions and took their fortunes. All the while he thought it was ok, because that was what they told him. And he trusted them. That was until he met another. Dormir. A young dwarf following in the same footsteps he had. Infact, they were almost identical. Shy, impressionable, optimistic and very very curious. They got on quite well and Galen thought him quite a strange thing but weren't aloud to talk for too long. One day, Galen decided to pay Dormir a visit as they hadn't seen eachother for a few weeks. Dormir was always so fond of telling stories of his old life and about his troubles. However, when he got down to the basement, he saw something not quite as expected. It was Dormir, being kicked repeatedly by members of the bandits wearing spike studded boots. Dormir was bleeding. "I 'ought I told ya not to go in 'ere" one yelled "Na you'll never see the light of day again!" The difference between Dormir and Galen's facial expression was non-existant. They were both experiencing the same thing. Betrayel. Galen knew Dormir was a good kid, and from what fellow members had told him they would never have done something so horrific to a "youngster". Once Dormir's broken and pierced body laid lifeless on the ground, surrounded by a puddle of blood the two members turned around. At the sight of Galen, they were lost for words and so instinctively drew their swords. Galen could not think straight. He knew not the best course of action. All he could feel was shock. Shock that his entire life was a lie. These men had lied to him, everything he had ever done in their name was a lie. In the end he was a brainwashed murderer and fool. And not slowly, but almost instantaniously, this shock turned to rage and a thirst for vengeance. He drew his sword and one by one, slew all that had to do with that wretched place. The place where he lost half of his life to deceit and betrayel. Galen moved far away to try and escape his past, but he couldn't. His once young, bright face from when he was a kid with his brother and parents with bright auburn hair shrivelled into a worn, gloomy and troubled persona, scorn by scars and the singing of flesh from raids and battles. His personality had grown much darker. He was robbed of most oh his sense of empathy and optimism, being left only with a burning hatred for all things cowardly and decietful aswell as dishonourable. Galen was introduced to an inability to trust anyone. As a result of his whole life being a lie, he finds it near on impossible to surcome to anyones words or trust them. This lack of taking in what anyone else has to say has lead his problems to progress into a false sense of power thinking himself the only one who is righteous. In this, he is over zealous. He developed nightmares of his once peaceful world now flipped upside down that grew worse and worse. Eventually, they drove him to the only option. He would return to that of which he could not escape and face his demons Once and for all. He would go home. Your characters ambitions: To find closure for his haunting past whatever they may come to. Also, his raw passion for the destruction of those of the dark and betrayel path leads him to find some method to exert that passion. Possibly through joining or even starting a guild. Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do? With a large, bellowing voice he commands the bandits as he unsheaths his blade to leave the elf alone, further mocking them by calling them cowards and traitors to their kind and that they should face him if they dare. Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? Depending on what he is searching for, one scenario may go like this: "Shopkeep. I am in dire need of your assistance, so do listen. I am in pursuit of a certain kind of... fish you could say. It is a delecasy. I must find it. Do. You. Have it?"

I fixed what I assume was the problem. It turns out having the same name as a city or kingdom makes for a lot of misunderstandings. To go ahead and solve this the easiest way I just altered my name. I hope everything is up to par.

Their family was made up of the twins, their older brother Darah and mum and dad. They were commons folk, and although gaining a decent fortune in such a big city, the Rose family’s guardian’s barely made enough ends meet. Irah and his twin brother started out as just one among many. They got enough food to get through the day, and were able to get a basic education. But then things took a turn for the worst. Both parents were murdered mysteriously. It was unknown who did it, or why someone would. All the remaining Rose’s knew was that their mother and father were dead. Darah couldn’t take care of himself and his brothers for long before being forced to leave the great city. They spent the rest of their years in the dangerous wilderness. Irah and his twin brother were taught by their eldest how to fend for themselves in the forest, as that is where they would presumably be spending the rest of their days. It is a miracle they survived, and it was all down to sticking together and helping one another. Time passed and as the boys slowly approached adulthood, another disaster struck. Their brother had never returned. Tears swept the two boy’s faces as they eventually found his mangled carcass being ripped apart by wild wolves. From then on they were on their on, even though they weren’t. They still had each other and nothing was going to get in between that.

He shows off a rather bulky and muscular build. -Character Personality: Irah is a serious man, having faced many hardships in his life. His sense of humor has almost vanished, only being exposed to that of dark comedy. He is extremely impatient when it comes to idiocy and ignorance and will not stand for such traits. Those who show maturity, intellect and skill in front of Irah will no doubt earn his respect. He can be rather arrogant, thinking himself more important than most of those he sees littered around the world. This is more often than not a false sense of self worth, but still proves right sometimes.
