hair is not long, but shaggy enough to be unkempt.  His face is mostly unremarkable, except for a smallish nose and piercing brown eyes that are always darting around, taking in what is around him.  He usually wears dark-colored robes.  Although his vision is fine, he keeps a pair of spectacles with him, both for reading, and because he vainly believes they make him look more erudite.PERSONALITY/MOTIVATION/BELIEFS (paragraph form)Pryas is obsessed with knowledge, with learning.  In particular, he is interested in knowledge of the arcane, and knowledge of the multiverse.  He's led a fairly sheltered life, and has never seen any terrible combat.  The location of his master's tower has been sheltered from the more unstable parts of the world, and as such Pryas is a little naive.  He has the idea that rationality and a thirst for knowledge are universal, and that those who don't seem to care for learning simply haven't been fully exposed to it.  However, his primary motivation is to learn more himself, to learn as much as he can about the world and about the magic that shapes it.BACKGROUND (paragraph form)Born the son of peasant farmers, his parents were worried that there was something wrong with him, as small as he was as a child.  Others in their village wondered if the kid was malnourished.  As Pryas grew older, he proved a disappointment to his parents in other ways: his head was always lost in the clouds, thinking about far-off things and always eager to hear rumors of arcane happenings.  He had no aptitude or strength for work in the fields, and was often too distracted to even be of much use around the house.  And, so, it was almost with relief when he left home at the age of 12.  An elven wizard named Virillian was passing through the village, and spotted Pryas' interest in the arcane as well as the boy's sharp intellect.  Virillian had recently sent a previous apprentice out into the world, and was ready to take on another.  To the Farboulders, he offered to train their son in the arcane arts in exchange for his service.  Pryas' parents realized that not only was this the opportunity of a lifetime for Pryas, but it would also probably be ultimately a better upbringing for him.And, so, thereafter, Pryas spent the rest of his growing years in a wizard's tower, going through old books.  He loved every minute of it.  Virillian, it turns out, was a diviner, and a wizard obsessed with knowledge of the other planes, especially the Outer Planes.  However, interestingly, Virillian claimed to never have been away from Oerth.  As Pryas learned more, this surprised him, for he figured that a wizard of Virillian's ability ought to be able to find a way to get to another plane without too much trouble.  However, Pryas didn't bother with it, for there was a wealth of knowledge about the planes to be learned from the writings in Virillian's extensive libraries.  Pryas buried himself in that, trying to learn as much as he could about the Planes and about the arcane as he also performed the duties of a wizard's apprentice and learned the craft of magic.Pryas spent enough time buried in the books that he had a very long apprenticeship.  Indeed, he would be just as happy to let it continue.  However, Virillian recognizes that the young human will forever be in his shadow if he does not send Pyras out into the world to find his own fortune.  And so, in no uncertain terms, Virillian has declared Pyras' training complete.  Telling Pyras that he was a star student, he has suggested that he being to travel and explore the world, to see what is outside the walls of Virillian's tower.</blockquote>
