Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

I was born of the earth. I, Baerden, am a dwarf. Like many dwarves, have an attachment to the earth and everything that comes from it's depths. At the age of 87, I look not unlike other dwarves. I am burly, hairy, and slightly stunted in stature. My personality reflects these attributes in many ways. I am hardy and relentless, especially while in the pursuit of rare ores. I am a hard drinker, enjoy any challenges to my ability, and love crude humor.

As a young dwarf, I watched the miners and even followed them down into the depths. However, one day stood out more than the others. It was the day that truly made me the miner I am today. It started like any other day. As a eager, young dwarf, I always showed up at the entrance of the mine early and waited for the older miners to show. We climbed down the primary mineshaft. Just as I broke through a thicker, stone wall, my eyes were blinded. What was in the room beyond would change me forever. The walls were studded with gold, iron, and diamond. Unfortunately, before it could all be excavated, the ceiling began to collapse. Now I can never return to that place; not after the fall of Aegis.

Besides being a man of the mines, I am a warrior. Bested only by the power of the orcs, dwarven soldiers are sturdy in battle. My father carried a sword and so do I. I'll never forget the day I took up a blade for the first time. When I was younger, my fascination of mining took my entire life. But, the day came when this could no longer be. The day Aegis was destroyed. My father was slain. I took his sword that day, and never looked back. The battlefield is not a foreign thing to me.

In the escape, I also lost my mother. The last memory of her was just before we climbed onto the boats. They said she would be on the next one, but I never found her. I know not of her fate.

Since then, I have spent most of my time underground. I rarely see the sun, and prefer the dim light of a torch. I have spent these years mining the various minerals and ores which shine and who's glimmer catch my eye. Though they are my only source of profit, I always keep some to myself. In this sense, I am truly a dwarf.

When I do spend time on the surface, I spend it selling my haul and drinking myself into a stupor. I mostly prefer spending time with other dwarves, but occasionally find myself in the company of other rough races.

Venator was born in a small village. His father was a orcish farmer and hunter. So, from an early age, he learned the ways of the earth, as well as a talent for the bow and arrow. However, at the age of 25, his village was burned and he fled into a nearby forest, where he roamed alone for many years.
