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.):
My parents lived on a remote Elven island village for their entire life. A human clan ransacked the village, killing my father and raping my mother. I was the result of this attack. My mother died giving birth to me, and I was raised by my grandmother. When I was 8 years old my grandmother passed away, and I was taken in by the island of Porthion Orphanage, where I was heavily picked on and bullied because of my half and half bloodline. I had no friends for much of my life. This solitude made me tough and introverted. After years of solitude, I met my first friends, Shor and Gilthas, who were bullied as much as I was. They were hesitant to trust me as I was technically an elf, but soon took me in because I was just as much as an outsider as them. We were still bullied, but together we were strong. Gilthas, was the short tempered one with the attitude of an Orc, Shor, the thick skinned and ambitious one with no problem protecting the honor of his brethren even if it meant spilling blood. Me? I’m quiet and level-headed. I think things through and take the logical path, being calm and collective as often as I can. Sometimes, especially when people close to me are in danger, this calm and collective barrier breaks and I let out my bottled anger on whatever stands in my way.
One day a group of pirates raided Porthion, killing many. When they got into the orphanage my brothers and I killed three of them with stones we found laying around. A struggle ensued, and we were captured, but just before they executed us, the captain saw potential and decided to recruit us instead. The captain, being an orc was ready to kill me because of my elf blood, but Shor stood up for me and threatened to rip his head off if he touched me. The captain realized that he couldn’t split us up without losing our trust, and he took us in as a whole. We put behind our old life, sailing the seas and plundering villages. After what seemed like a few years on the ship, my brothers and I decided to venture off. We thanked the captain and headed toward Asulon to see what we could make of ourselves. Our story begins there. I’m now 22 years old and am usually clean cut and somber. My solitude and years as a pirate has taken away my heart. My brothers and I are opportunists who understand that we must do anything to survive.
