Zan'vor's guardian was his uncle, Joseph. Joseph was paranoid about society, and so tried to keep as far away from it as he could. Zan'vor came to be raised by him for unknown reasons. Joseph was a kind guardian when sober, though when he was drunk he would abuse Zan'vor emotionally and physically. When sober, Joseph taught Zan'vor about protecting himself from the strangeness of people. He used the logic of how people go to war so often, such as the war against Salvus. He said that both sides were wrong, and the only way for people to survive was to work together and try to survive factors such as the plague and the undead, which seem to destroy many human civilizations. He was also upset with politics, such as in Renatus. They have a king and a council, which seemed to him redundant. He believed that one way or another, people would kill themselves, or be killed, and that is why he isolated himself. Joseph taught Zan'vor how to use a sword, and shoot a bow. He also educated him on other weapons, and gave him many books. He hoped he would eventually succumb to the same insane beliefs of conspiracy, violence, and complete hatred. This is how Zan'vor learned of his uncle's insanity, but he kept that a secret. He also studied books about trapping and tracking, which helped him in the wild. When Zan'vor was 15, Joseph considered him a man, and demanded he contribute more than he would. Zan'vor was furious and ran off and hid in the wild for several hours venting. He thought about going off on his own, but decided to go find his uncle. He loved him after all. When he returned, he found Joseph dead. He had a dagger in his belly. The door was open, so it was unclear whether it was murder or suicide. Zan'vor was consumed with grief, and buried his dead uncle. A week later he made his first venture out of the wild, into society. He found a farm, and there was a kind farming family there. They welcomed Zan'vor for the evening, and told him he could stay as long as he wanted to. From then on, he spent more time with people. He learned all of his social skills from the kind family. In return for their help, Zan'vor helped the farm. He put his combat skills to use in private, and kept himself trained. He thought Joseph would have been at least proud of that. When Zan'vor was 20, he finally thanked the farm family, and told them he had to live a life of his own. He set out, to find more people. He sought out to find out if his uncle Joseph was truly insane. What are they like (personality)?: - Thoughtful. He may seem aggressive when concerned for people he cares for. He is quiet, but wants to be more social. He is respectful and kind, unless he finds someone unworthy of such treatment. What are their ambitions?: - He has only the ambition of learning more about people. He wants to learn if he should put his skills use to fight for people or against them. Do they have any special skills?: - He is good with a sword, and decent with a bow. He is a good tracker and trapper. He is observant and careful. What are their weaknesses?: - He may be aggressive sometimes. He is not great with people, but tries. He has a soft spot for elderly people and for pretty women. Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - Zan'vor has brown hair, and his eyes were hazel. He lost one of his eyes when a wolf clawed his face. He is usually cloaked, but he has a light muscular body. Anything else you want to say about them?: - He hasn't taken an arrow to the knee yet. Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: - Thank you for taking the time to view my application. I hope it is satisfactory, and wish you a great day/night. Fantastic, there you go.
