[Verlin Ranes]

Verlin Ranes Basic Information Race: Human Birthday & Age : 22, Born on the 8th of Spring, 491 AV Gender: Male Physical Description Verlin is a sturdy and stocky young man, standing six feet even and weighing one hundred and sixty five pounds. He has short brown hair and brown eyes, strong shoulders and calloused hands. Character Concept Verlin is no stranger to hard work and actually thrives when he is busy. The life of farming is hard but bountiful and brings as many simple rewards as it does burdens. Always optimistic, Verlin can sometimes be caught unaware by con artists or merely dishonorable people. Some of those people often ask if he had just fallen from the turnip cart. Verlin knows turnips aren't a local commodity. Character History Hailing from the Mithryn Outpost, south of Syliras, Verlin had always tended the fields with his large family, just as their ancestors had done. Verlin had great respect for the Syliran Knights that protected them, wishing to join their ranks one day. His entire youth was one of toiling and hard work, the brightest spots being the few times he was able to speak to the Knights in person. Many of the Green Company saw the farmers for what they were; honest, honorable people with a penchant for hard work and fair treatment. Verlin made an effort to make himself known often by shooting at crows with his bow and arrow or his constant begging for a weapon to practice with. Many of the younger kids had this dream, surely, but Verlin really seemed to stick out, having decided his fate from a young age. At some point, one of the Knights took pity on him, bringing him an old rusted sword that was going to be put into the foundry and recast for other items. More than likely, the Knight in question enjoyed the living fire in Verlin's eyes when he received it. Knowing he was a world away from ever being a Knight, he took the gift as an indicator that he was on the right path. Just about any time Verlin could be found on the farm, he was carrying this sword. His eighteenth year came and went, putting him behind in the paces of a squire, but his father, Jansen Ranes, had decided that Verlin could leave the farm only when his younger brother Pietren was eighteen, to take up Verlin's slack. After Verlin's nineteenth year passed, his parents gave him the money they had saved for him for many years, wishing him the best in his endeavors, but asking him to live in the Castle, so as not to make the other children want to stray. Unfortunately, Lhex had other ideas. Pietren found himself on the wrong end of a rabid boar, as if there was a good side. Soon after dispatching him, the family recalled Verlin. A few years later, there was enough of an influx to Syliras that hired hands came more plentiful and cheap, so the Ranes' reluctantly sent their son once more, not wanting to stifle his dreams.
