TPC Children bio for 'Clash of interests' RP - CC'd by WT

[Kaylan]

Name: Toran Meyer

Age: 18

Origin: Amadician/Ghealdan Border

Physical Appearance: 5'6", 74kg, brown hair and eyes. Barely worn features, hands are only beginning to develop calluses from swordwork. His back carries multiple layers of scars.

 

Personality: Helpful but shy, prone to daydreaming and his focus wandering. When attention is centred on him, things tend to go wrong and he becomes rather clumsy.

 

History: Raised in an abusive household, by the time he was eleven Toran could take no more and fled. Surviving by begging as he followed the roads south, he ended up in Amador. Begging only went so far, and at times he stole to survive.

 

It was during such a theft that he was caught trying to take off with a pair of apples by a Child of the Light. Rather than carry off Toran for a branding, the man was going to give him a whipping with his belt which led to him pulling up Toran's shirt and discovering the numerous scars.

 

Laying aside the belt, the man instead took him to his brother's home, where he was taken in and raised. A gentler home he couldn't have asked for, but he couldn't shake off his early years completely. He was never comfortable with attention, or anyone knowing about his back, so he was often the quiet one in any group and always wore a shirt even on the hottest days.

 

When he was seventeen, they received word that his 'uncle' had died in service, and after the funeral Toran decided the best way he could thank his 'uncle' for what he did was to take up the sunburst himself. Joining the Children of the Light, he was quickly sent to the der'Algai as his uncle had been one himself.

 

While developing into a competent fighter, he was by no means excellent, his wandering daydreaming a contributor to that. But he hopes to do his uncle proud all the same.
