[QUOTE="Kularian, post: 3238600, member: 25810"] Finally up... [URL=http://www.thetangledweb.net/profiler/view.php?id=5820]Kularian Arieus[/URL] Background: Kularian was born to a fairly wealthy merchant in Edaesmyd. His father, Blake Arieus, made a living buying and selling whatever he could get his hands on. At first, the business was run more like a pawn shop, but as word of his ability grew, so did the amount of customers the Arieus family received. Blake was known to be terribly charismatic and a very compelling salesman. Because of his gifts, the fame of the store grew until it became several different stores, each one run by someone that Blake personally approved of. Blake wasn't married, but often fooled around. However, one of his flings got the girl pregnant, and she died during the birth. Since it was known that Blake was the father, the child was entrusted to him. At first, the man didn't really like the boy, but eventually the thought of having a successor began to hold some root in his mind, and he began bringing up the boy to do just that. Naming his son at the age of six, (who had previously been called 'boy',) began the start of Kularian's learning process. As Kular grew, it became quickly apparent that he had inherited both Blake's charm and head for business. Learning from his father, Kularian became able to talk circles around others his age, and often make spare money off of them. Once, he bet his friends that he'd sneak into a house reputed to be haunted, and bring something out. With nothing more than his glib tongue and a candlestick from home, he created an entire story about going in and seeing ghosts. Awed, his friends each believed him, and gave him their bet. Around the age of fourteen, a wandering bard came into the store. The bard parted with his lute, as he needed money to eat, and that sort of living wasn't working for him anymore. Kularian, interested in the instrument, bought it from his father (who wouldn't give it to him for free,) and began to practice on his own time. He quickly learned the instrument, and used his talents to woo young females with both song and voice. When Kularian turned seventeen, his father told him that soon Kular would be running the family business. At first, Kularian was pleased, but as time went on, he began to realize more and more what that meant, and knew that it wasn't a life for him. His was one of adventure, friendship, and other such things that bards spoke of in their stories. He wanted to use his silk tongue to fool monsters and town guards, not customers. Thus one night, he left under the cover of darkness, fleeing Edaesmyd. He signed up to help on a merchant vessel, acting as an entertainer for the rest of the crew, and occasionally a pair of hands if needed. But a few years at sea started to wear away at his voice, and the young man decided against staying aboard the ship. With nowhere to return save his homeland, he went back, though he didn't want to.
