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.):

Rehnof grew up in the city of Kal’Urguan. As a young boy, Rehnof was never anything special. He grew and learned at the same pace as all the other dwarves did. Rehnof was the type of dwarf that admired the art of archery when he grew up. As he grew older, Rehnof decided to leave the Kal’Urguan to define who he was without his parents.

Rehnof went off to live in isolation for several years. While away from his fellow dwarves, Rehnof learned how to fight, became a proficient gatherer, and learned much about his native land. He learned to respect almost everything around him. Rehnof read much about archery while isolated from the dwarfs and trained constantly with a bow.

Rehnof’s isolated life came to a close when he realized that his land was coming to an end. He saw smoke from the city of Kal’Urguan and realized that he shouldn’t stick around. Rehnof traveled the land for a long time in search of anything that would keep him alive until he meet Blundermore, the man who lead the journey to Asulon. Rehnof went with Blundermore and the people who followed him. Rehnof struggled with the year long journey among elves, human, and orcs, but now Rehnof finds himself in Asulon.

At a young age, Rehnof was always very studious and enjoyed reading books about the history of Aegis. From his reading, Rehnof learned about and grew fond of the elves. Rehnof admired their connection with nature and their skill with a bow. Rehnof readings of history lead him to want to become a historian. Rehnof always told his friends and family about interesting bits of history that he read in books. Rehnof enjoyed talking with historian in Kal’Urguan and strived to learn more about Aegis from them.

One serious flaw that Rehnof has is that he is full of regret from going into isolation. He feels that if he was their to help defend Kal’Urguan, things would have been different. He tries to help others to help heal his disappointment in himself. This sometime gets Rehnof in more trouble than he bargained for.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

Rehnof still loves reading about Aegis, and strives to be a writer. This would allow him to write the history of Asulon for generations after him.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):

Rehnof favorite tool is the bow because of how much he has read about it and trained with it in his time of isolation.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?

Rehnof is a knowledgeable historian and is always there to teach others about their history.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):

Other Information about your Character:
