Appearance

I often get 'rugged'.

Standing at 5 feet, eight inches and weighing one hundred and sixty pounds, Pulren is a lean and strong fisherman, his life of rations and action keeping his body lean like a swimmer's physique. Swimming all the time also lends to this physique, as one might expect. His eyes are a sea green and his hair is brown with some peppering of blonde from Syna's tousling of it. He usually sports a scruffy beard or at least some stubble. Clean shaven is not very natural to him and he wouldn't have much need for it. He has a few scars over his body from his exploits to date.One large, angry horizontal scar across his upper chest, just below his collarbones. Another six inch scar, not so angry on his right shoulder. His right forearm is covered in deep scratch scars from the invisible predators of the Sahovan Prairies.

Personality

Oh, so charming.

Pulren is complex. He is friendly for the most part to strangers, though his time in Sunberth has put a darker spin on things. Sarcasm is a way of life and it helps pad the awful visions of gore and horror that permeate his memories. Fatally optimistic, he tries to squeeze out the best options from a situation, even if it rubs some people the wrong way. He tries not to get into fights so easily, but anyone with a little bit of social skills can tell that there is a powder keg smoking under the otherwise calm exterior of this guy.

History

We all have one.

As far back as Pulren could remember, it was he and Old Pal and lots of work. His parents were what Pal often remarked as 'sea lice that were a brine short of a salt lick.' They were just faces to Pulren, passing through his memories like flotsam. Flotsam was real, too. Made about as much of an impact on the young man's life.

He had grown up with Uncle Pal Marsh, the bearded curmudgeon that he had been named after. A real role model, Pal. Definitely past his prime, his dark, scraggly beard was streaked with gray and usually stunk of fish and kelp beer. He was an expert fisherman, though, as long as he didn't have to move much. Pulren did most of the scraping, baiting and cleaning.

They did have a small cottage in town, but Pulren rarely saw it, except to drag Pal's stuff, and sometimes Pal, back to sleep a few hours. Only in winter, when the Bonesnapper drove nails into your veins, would Pal resort to eating stock and passing time in his bunk. Every Spring, Pulren would watch the Wave Guard tryouts and watch guys flail their way out to the rock and back. He would watch and wish it was him out there. He knew he could do the swim with no problem. His many offerings to Laviku would not go unnoticed.

The routines all changed in the Winter of 513. Pal had been out drinking and cavorting with his sailing buddies, stopping at the cottage for what would be the last time, though Pulren wasn't aware. Being possibly as drekfaced as his nephew had ever seen him, he had decided to go out against the bonesnapper with these guys, as they were all convinced the fishing would be the best haul ever. Pulren never saw Pal again, hearing about the loss of the fishermen the next morning. He had always craved freedom, but now that it had come it came with a strange uneasiness.

--Update--

In Spring of 514, Pulren's dreams were realized as he joined the Wave Guard as a Guardsman. Filled with righteous vigor, he gave his all to his City and Guard, facing deadly perils along the way. He was forcefully inducted into both Leeching and Reimancy, both times nearly costing the lad his life. He felt as if he had purpose and things moved along quite nicely. During the Summer, he met Markus Andres, a Knight from Syliras, and his consrt S'Essy, a Konti healer. Markus was investigating the disappearance of his family members and Pulren aided him in finding that the clues pointed to Sunberth. By season's end, Pulren turned in his Wave Guard uniform temporarily and left for the anarchic city with the Syliran pair.

Once in Sunberth, he stayed on the outskirts at the Aquillar Hot Springs with the Syliran couple, a retreat for Knights and their companions. The freedom of the city and his concept to try the life of a mercenary gave Pulren a distinct taste for a life he had previously dreamed of. Taking on the alias of Palaren Marshall, his adventures in the city brought him in contact with Fallon Skylar, the then leader of a gang known as the Scars. Joining them as Palaren, he began developing a persona known as Uncle. This archetype was a grim and vicious face to wear when things became dicey and blood needed to be let. Eventually moving into the Quay, an estate and the headquarters of the Scars, he started to lost touch with being Pulren, realizing future seasons spent in his persona might make it dominant. Fall became Winter and by its frozen end, the Scars were run out of Sunberth and Pulren found himself returning to his home city by the bay.

--Update---

Spring became Summer and Pulren had rejoined the Wave Guard, trying to carve out a life and looking at rising in the ranks in the militia. His skills were tested but his former taste of mercenary work and the riches and fame it had brought him were too much to ignore. Begrudgingly, he left the organization that had given him his start, opting to join the Martial Society of Zeltiva, an elite group of mercenaries who were very precise in their tastes and skillsets. The interview alone was daunting, as he was selected and trained by none other than Tyler Johnson, the mercenary that had inspired him years before. The wizened merc taught him things that honed the blade that Pulren was becoming and soon his wanderlust came back to him. Sometime in the Fall of '15, he had decided to sell all of his lavish furniture and the diving platform had had been amassing, instead gathering himself to explore more of the world that he lusted over in map form.
In the Winter of 515, Uncle landed on the shores of the mysterious city of Nyka.

"Uncle Pal", Palaren Marsh

Fishing 30
Intimidation 15
Endurance 5

Palaren Marsh, Pulren's uncle and namesake, took the boy in when his parents got tired of the commitment of raising a child. Brother to Percy, Pulren's father, Palaren wasn't much of a father figure but he knew that Pulren was a decent fisherman and a good swimmer, so he had use. Known to the other sailors as Pal's pal, Pulren became a vital part of Palaren's lifestyle, retrieving crab traps, stringing bait, diving after fish with his spear or trident. As helpful as Pulren was, Palaren rarely showed him any affection. Quite the opposite really, considering he had a penchant for drinking and was incredibly lazy.

Barking orders at Pulren and insisting that he spend the majority of his day running errands, cleaning fish or diving, Pal was a hard taskmaster. Pulren was never especially sad about it, having somewhere to sleep and food to eat. He longed for freedom and often found himself escaping to the water to get away from one of Palaren's drunken rages, which were well known around the docks. Eventually, after screaming and kicking things about, he would drag himself off to the cottage and pass out.

In the Winter of 513, Palaren and some of his drinking/fishing buddies decided they were going to go out and do some ice fishing in an outrigger canoe. It was just that kind of thing that drunk people come up with; a stupid idea that got people killed. Such was the case as neither Pal nor his pals were ever heard from again, assumed to have all fallen in or been taken by a wave or something else. It was Palaren's death that gave Pulren the freedom he desired to start living his own life.
