History:
Rivaal grew up like any Vantha in the cold north. He learned stories, told stories, helped cook, hunt, perform, and everything that a child could do to the best of his poor ability. Unfortunately, Rivaal soon found he was chosen to marry a young woman when they came of age. At first it didn't bother him, but all of the great stories about love and happiness made him think. By the age of fifteen he had stolen money and a spear from his parents and fled Avanthal in the night. Finding refuge in the back of a trade caravan, he managed to stay hidden for part of the first day, being lucky until he sneezed.
Catching the attention of the traders, he was going to be sent home. After pleading for what seemed to be hours, they agreed to let him stay on if he made himself useful. Revealing the spear, he signed on as protection, albeit poor protection.
The first year was rough. Rivaal almost lost his life countless times. The traders seemed to go wherever they were called, which was where they could best make money. Rivaal didn't see Avanthal again until the following year.
The second year brought a lot of changes. Avanthal was no longer his home, and despite being a welcome Vantha, he kept as much distance as he could so as to avoid being recognized. It was also this year that they picked up a Flux user as a guard. It was mere chance that Rivaal recognized it as magic, and he pestered the guard to teach him how to use it. It was hard at first, but he managed to slowly gain a basic control over it, and once that happened, gaining a better control didn't take as long as it could have due to the constant fending off of monsters in the wilds.
Unfortunately around year five, his new home broke. Protecting him, his teacher took a savage claw to the side that tore into his ribs and left him to bleed out into the earth. The next trade stop had them with poor sales in Sultros, but there had been rumors he'd heard over the years of the Shinya. At Rivaal's request, the traders went west spurred by new potential trade opportunities.
Once in Lhavit, Rivaal said his farewells and set about trying to find his third life.
Personality:
Lazy but loyal, Rivaal will try to get out of having to put out the physical effort you want from him. It's not that he's incapable, so much that he just isn't motivated. He can be found, on break, often trying to come up with crazy stories from his travels for the local children.
Ethics:
Would much rather take a nap than save the world, but will do the right thing in a pinch.
