[QUOTE="okuth0r, post: 3463094, member: 1615"] Fleshy Background (keep from zombies...) [sblock] Nirok was born a step above slavery. His mother worked as a servant in the house of a wealthy trader, his father a tracker outside the city. Playing with the children as he always did Nirok grew tough, used to missing meals and taking a beating. One day in adolescence one of his playmates, son of another servant revealed that he had stolen something. With a sense of honor he was unaware of, but knowing it was the right thing to do, nirok turned the playmate in. Justice was swift, the child had his left hand removed, and the family was dismissed from the trader's service. Nirok was then allowed to train with the house militia for a year, part of a plan by the master of the house. His honor showing to be natural to him thought the training showed him a prime candidate. Nirok was then sent to a training house for Samurai at the traders expense. For 4 years nirok was trained in the ways of samurai. Two weeks before his training was complete he received word... his mother had been killed. Forbidden to leave his training early, nirok trained with a steady stream of tears. For those final weeks he would not mourn, but his tears flowed the whole time. Upon finishing his training he went home, and mourned at his mother’s grave. He was told his father never came to bury his mother, and has not been found. The trader presented his deal. Serve him for 10 years to repay the training and pay for information. The information.. who had killed his mother. Nirok agreed and was assigned the traders personal bodyguard. After several years nirok was told who had killed his mother... his former playmate! The knowledge burned inside him and fueled him through many hours of guarding. Years passed and Nirok guarded the trader at many events, he learned diplomacy, gleaned some history, and recognition of the nobility of the land. He learned the basics of riding, and how the sense another’s motive in a conversation. One month ago he was given a task. Escort a payment and return with goods from a notoriously bad town. The journey was with peril, but was a success. However his return 3 weeks later was met with sadness, his lord was dead, killed in his sleep. Nirok now has no master to serve, and the justice he seeks seems a cold trail. Given his possessions, he is now alone in this world. Nirok has found a large caravan, owing to his need to eat has decided to join. Maby he will find someone worthy of his service, or better yet someone to help him find a killer. trader and playmate left for you to name. One was a major trader, and would be remembered, the other... reoccurring villain? [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
