[QUOTE="d'Anconia, post: 4190598, member: 1332"] I like it. I'm just keeping all of Alexander's info together here. Updating his entry to include the stuff we've agreed upon: Name: Alexander Appearance: Tall, strapping lad, who just turned 20. A muscular 6’3”, with a physique molded by long hours spent plowing in the fields. Typically wears overalls and a straw hat. Background: Alexander was born to on the farm. His father had been farming the land and providing wheat to the city for as long as anyone can remember. He was raised to farm, and has never expected to do anything else, until recently. Quite frequently, Alexander's chores around the farm would take him to the river. Whether it was fetching water for the animals, of getting water to irrigate the crops, he got to know the section of river just beyond the bridge quite well. The massive forest on the other side of the river would sometimes break the concentration that he usually had with his work. He would stare into it and wonder what was out there. He began to feel truly alive with just the thought of wandering its depths and exploring its secrets. Sometimes, looking at the forest, he'd see something, just for a moment, a pale figure. He'd shiver, and realize how cold he was, look down to see that the river was unnaturally still, and his breath was fogging. Then, usually, the daze would overcome him. Later, he would always chalk up the fragmented memory to his imagination. Until a few weeks ago, that is. While bathing in the river after a long days work, he realized, suddenly that he was ice cold. His breath was fogging and he was freezing. When he looked up he saw a small figure in a cloak of rich vermilion. The cloak was held closed with an ornate golden clasp, in the shape of a strange creature, something a snake with wings. He felt a powerful urge to kneel before this person. He felt his knees buckle, the current pulling him. He remembers a slim, pale hand reaching out toward him. A face of a beautiful young girl, white as a tooth. A voice, "You were not born to kneel." Alexander's next coherent memory is of spitting out lungful after lungful of water, racked with freezing spasms. His friend Eldan, and his father Enric, were kneeling nearby, worried looks on their faces. Your Family/Neighbors: His father, Michael, was born in the same house as Alexander. He’s a farmer, and his father before him was a farmer. His mother, Ansley, was raised in the city, the daughter of the town baker. One day, she decided that she was going to marry the young man (Michael) who delivered the wheat to her father. And that was that. Alexander has a younger 16 year old sister, (name to be determined), who spends all her free time reading. How she learned to read, and where she got the books has never come up, although it’s probably a good question. How do spend your days: Farming. It’s Alexander’s life and all he’s known. He has occasionally wondered what’s in those books his sister reads, and what exactly is on the other side of the stream that runs on the edge of his property. He draws water from it daily to feed the animals, but has never been able to make it all the way across to the far bank. Of late, he’s felt a stronger and stronger urge to break out of the monotony that is every day life in (city name). He wonders about the dreariness that seems to affect everyone he knows, and he’s becoming more and more ready to do something about it. Relationships: Some things you're good at: Farming, animal husbandry, silently observing things Intended Class: Ranger [/QUOTE]
