DER FÜRSTLICHE BERICHT ÜBER DEN BESUCH BEI ATHERAN SALVUS The Princely report on the visit to Atheran Salvus Penned by the Princely Scribe, Konrad Lipa in the year of our Lord, 1937 [♪] It has been exactly one year since my ship left the port of Whitespire for the long voyage to Atheran Salvus, the place where I spent my entire childhood, where I learned to write, speak and read. Once I reached my destination after three days of sailing the Syndic of the Salvian Syndicate welcomed me very warmly and made sure that I had the best possible conditions during my stay at Salvus. My visit lasted only a day, but that one day was enough for everything I had planned. It was truly wonderful to visit the Royal Salvian Academy as well as the Basilica of the Intercession of Saint Ottomar, located within the city of Fausten, which I know so well. On the occasion of my visit, Mass was celebrated in the Basilica in the morning. It was the same place at which I was baptised as a small child more than three decades ago. Later the same day the scientists of the Royal Academy of Saint Ottomar presented to me their research results on war machines, shipbuilding and architecture that is so unique to Atheran Salvus. In the evening, just before I boarded the ship to return home, I spoke to the Syndic himself about the Waldenic Diet and the relationship between the Princely House of Alstreim and our former Colony of Fausten. The meeting was a success. We both spoke highly of Sir Daris, the Salvian Syndicate's envoy to the Waldenic Diet, and his numerous reports on the current state of affairs in Almaris and Aevos over the course of the years. As a farewell gift, my ship was loaded with a variety of colonial goods not available on the continent. The Syndic has also suggested opening a shop in Whitespire or Merryweather that would sell goods imported from the Colony of Fausten, as these could be profitable for the Principality of Merryweather and the House of Alstreim. My next visit was not scheduled. It is possible that such a visit will occur after my death, during the reign of the new Prince. May our relations never deteriorate and may the cooperation between Merryweather, Waldenians and Salvus be as fruitful as always. GOTT MIT UNS, HIS HIGHNESS, Heinrich II von Alstreim, Prince of Merryweather and the Rhine, Landgrave of Alstreim, Baron of Corwinsburg, Lord of Blackwater -

Swaine Age: 17 Gender: Male Race: Human (Half-Salvian, Half-Adunian) Status: Right hand and wrist no longer function. Description Height: 5' 7" Weight: 123 lbs. Body Type: Thin, smaller build Eyes: Greenish Hazel Hair: Curly, dark-brown Skin: A very light-tan Personality: One for little to no respect for authority, Swaine has always been a rebel. He is a man who follows his own wishes. Rebellious as he is, Swaine has his own set of guidelines he follows. Swaine has had no real parent figure to follow so these guidelines are rather... abstract but not too insane. His parents' absense has left him with a negative and untrusting look at the world. He believes in living up to your dreams; "...if one has nothing to die for, why live?..." One defining feature is his consistent sarcastic mood. A theif by nature, Swaine will never give up his steal or give into authority (though these stealings are small). Usually almost at the underhand if caught, he has no shame in running away. He knows what he does is wrong but is also nescesary for him to live on as he wants. Swaine still has a heart just don't expect him to show it to you. Inventory Clothing: Swaine wears a dark green bandana, a yellow top with a very dark green vest, black pants with an old belt, and old leather shoes. He doesn't carry much with him at all and most of everything is kept in a pouch tied to the inside of the vest so it is concealed (another is kept on the other side as well). Weaponry: The only weapon he carries is a rather embarrasing old dagger with a small crack through the back. He rarely gets into combat with anybody unless it is absolutely necessary so it is rarely used to defend or attack. It is mainly used to cut openings in pouches and bags to steal items. Further Details: There is a small leather holster just behind his wrist that holds his dagger, this allows him to slip it out of his sleeve at a moments notice and also conceal the fact that he is cutting something. (and no you Assassin's Creed fans, it is not like that; it is a simple leather strap with a buckle or two) Life Style Alignment*: Chaotic Neutral Religion: Swaine does not really have a set religion, but is not an athiest. Alliance/Nation/Home: He is nomadic but usually spends a long period of time before heading to the next area. Job/Class: Swaine is a common pickpocket. He prefers to do things more towards stealth and going unnoticed. It is generally unheard of him mugging someone. He does not know how to pick locks so does not break into buildings and houses. "What is yours is yours. Well. That is until I get to it. ..." Swaine is a con-man aswell but this isn't really his primary way of profiting, it is more oriented towards manipulating others to do as he wants. Swaine listens for important information he picks up from the streets by overhearing conversations and will use it to bargain with someone who needs it. Special Skill(s): Swaine has learned to be stealthy and quick on his feet. He can also climb well but isn't exactly from Mirror's Edge. He can think of interesting ways to get out of things. Flaw(s): He is uneducated and had no real parents to bring him up. Also, he lacks alot of strength and combat training. His strong will makes him incredibly stubborn. He is also untrusting of nearly everyone. Backstory Swaine has had a very hard life. He never really knew his parents. He wouldn't want to anyway. One of his earliest and most vivid memories is being literally thrown away at the age of 3, turning on 4. He does not know much, other than he came from a poor family and his name. His father was a proud Adunian, his mother was Salvian. Swaine believes his family lived in Salvus and was completely Salvian mainly because that is most of his defining features and also the place where he was abandoned. Since his parents had left him on the outskirts of town, Swaine had been emotionally lost. He had to rely on others while he was at such a young age. Never really wanting a home other than with his parents, he was never kept to one caretaker for a long time. He was often running away. Eventually he began developing thoughts of hate towards them for just simply abandoning him. He dropped his last name. These dark thoughts began to make him think why he should really trust anyone. From that point on, he would stop living from these kind caretakers and live on his own. At this point, Swaine was about 12. Out on the streets is where he experienced true hunger.This is where his life as a pickpocket began. Swaine refused to beg, he was his own responsibility. He stole from the markets to feed himself and stole the minas from unsuspecting patrons. Soon word spread about the young cutpurse. The theives of the city managed to lure him in. These theives became his mentors. He grew up learning how to steal and eventually became independent. Knowing he couldn't stay in one place any longer with all the attention he has brought to himself, he began moving every so often.
