Character Concept Neoma Curtnal, just a normal girl with a normal family. At least, that's what you are led to believe. A family involved in larceny and gangs, such is one who is from Sunberth. Her father a retired crook, and her mother a loving housewife. Neoma moved away from Sunberth not long ago, after an attack on her family, and now lives in the centre of Syliras with her father getting a job as one of the city guard. He wiped his past of crime away to start a life of honesty and fighting evil. Neoma is determined to follow in her father’s footsteps and to join the city guard, even at the young age she is. She is determined to overcome her problems with life and will train hard to achieve her goals. She is a firm believer in the "The greater the obstacle, the greater the glory in overcoming it" attitude. The only thing holding her back is the fear that her past life may catch up with her, and in the process, drag her back to the hell of Sunberth... Character History Neoma was brought up in Sunberth until the age of 8. Sunberth was no easy place to be raised and she soon got hard fists and quick wits. Her Father was a crook through necessity. Sunberth had a habit of dragging even the best of men down to their lowest levels of life choice. Her Mother on the other hand was as kind as she could be. She did all the jobs which needed doing around the house, raised Neoma and her brother, who was only 4 and Neoma 2 when an incident occurred with one of her Fathers old 'business partners'' looking for revenge. Neoma didn’t know a lot about this incident because her family would not speak about it. Yet from dribs and drabs, she got the impression that he suffered a death no man should have to endure, never mind a child... But as is Sunberth, the man got away and Neoma knows nothing about either him or her older brother. This shook her Mother up the most, and from then on she devoted herself to helping the needy in Sunberth, but again, the family was targeted for attack, and the woman was ran at by a man with a knife while on her rounds through Sunberth looking for beggars. She only survived by running for her life.. She never really trusted people on the streets again. Needless to say, the man was never seen again in Sunberth. After this, the family moved to Syliras and bought a small house near the cities centre, to avoid losing any more members. Broken and feeling hopeless, her father joined the city guard, feeling that he owed society an awful lot. Feeling like she needed to define her own life and make good on her family name after the life of crime which had besmirched it. Although being so young, Neoma has recently moved into a small 20x20 apartment in the interior of Stormhold citadel. She couldnt take the negative feelings and the sense of loss at home. Being in control of her own life was so much more of a better feeling. Given enough money by her family to start herself off with a basic existence, Neoma sets off in Sylira to follow her dream of becoming a city guard like her father before her. This would take her a lot of training and time But she will prevail. She's a Sunberth girl.
