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.): At a young age, my father taught me many things, hoping to help me find a true interest in something. Something I could pursue and improve upon. Few things truly caught my interest, and fewer still were something I could continue for the rest of my life. The two that really struck in me were the bow and puzzles. Puzzles of all varieties kept me entertained in so many of my early years, and when I wasn't further challenging myself with puzzles, I was training with my bow, endlessly trying to better myself. The puzzles however, opened up new interests in myself. They made me view the world in a more objective manner, seeing things as they are, and keeping a level head at all times. As I grew older, I started to explore and adventure more, often trying to get myself lost to see if I could get home again safely. Living on the outskirts of the forest made this difficult at times, since I would always go as far into the woods as I dared before turning around and finding my way home.
Today, at the start of my 200th year, I start a new life. One full of exploration, learning, and understanding. Today I set forth to see the world. To see what is beyond the forest and experience everything the world has to offer. I start this day being very secretive of myself, however, for to me, one's identity is all he has, and to give that away is to give up one's life. Today I'm not taking on a new identity, but enhancing the identity I've forged throughout my years.
