My backstory is quick and dirty, but here he is! I kept him as an archer, but if the party feels we need him to be a frontliner I would be happy to change. I've never played a Ranger before, so either playstyle would be okay with me!

[sblock=Background]
I spent my early childhood raised by a courier in the captial city of Leukish. From a young age he sent me out with messages to be delivered and I learned to be quick, quiet and efficient. It was only later that I learned the courier was not my father, but entrusted to take care of me by the man who was my birth father. My father was a Suloise nobleman of the Dutchy and I, his bastard born son was forced out of his home by his jealous wife. I was still quite young when he sent for me to come live with him in the country side. His wife had died and never given him an heir and he never forgot his bastard son. The rest of the family would not stand for me to be made heir, they barely tolerated having me live with them, and so it was that I spent most of my time with the huntsmaster of the manor and soon became his apprentice. In time he passed on and I took his place, yet my father never gave up on the idea of naming me heir. The rest of the family, including my grandfather gave my father an ultimatum, if I could become a hero, a man worthy of the family name, then perhaps I would be given a chance. When the call went out for adventurers I pushed my father to allow me to answer it, I would make my name and prove myself worthy.
