I believe we started a thread for character bios a while back, but I'm not sure what became of it. Perhaps they could be moved here? This seems like a fitting forum for them.
In any case, I finally got around to writing down Tryunn's bio. Enjoy! ">
Tryunn Tue`Imajynn was born in the beautiful marble and vine city of Felwithe. From an early age he realized he did not want to follow in his parent's footsteps, though noble they were. His father Towann, was a Paladin who fought many battles in the name of Tunare, and was renowned for his healing skills in the heat of battle. His mother, Teewinn, was a Cleric of Tunare, and would minister to those whose wounds required more care than could be provided in haste. Tryunn inherited from both of his parents a strong sense of respect and care for living things, and a will devoted to perserverance through any hardships. Despite these two very strong yet seemingly paradoxical drives, or perhaps because of them, he decided early on that he would pledge no allegiance to any Gods. He felt that, by doing so, he might deny himself the possibility of meeting and aligning himself with others that may be worthy.
Denying both the call to the healing arts and warfare, he bagen studying in order to strengthen his abilities in the magics of the mind. As his training began, he found his talents lay in his ability to manipulate others and create illusions that would allow him to safely explore all but the most hostile environments. Although he didn't actively scorn anyone on the basis of race, he felt no particular affinity towards the Dark Elves or Trolls of Norrath. The Ogres, however, he found particularly interesting, even going so far as to run errands for a bartender in the Ogre hometown of Ogguk from time to time. Although they seemed somewhat slow in their mental capabilities, he sensed a hidden purpose in their history and destiny.
Although the general populace of the Iksar race still shun him, he has continued to attempt to gain an allegiance with them. By a sheer stroke of luck, he befriended and Iksar Shadowknight name Murdarkness Dreadscale. This suprisingly good-natured, though somewhat reserved lizard warrior brought Tryunn into the folds of his unlikely adoptive family, made up of many of the different races from around the world. He told Tryunn of some of the adventures set upon by these friendly benevolent explorers, led by a somewhat curmudgeonly yet incredibly wise Gnome Wizard, Whizbang. What's more, this family was also home to a couple of Tryunn's older friends, Rudee Grimsbane and Ulrich Deadlink.In this way, Tryunn became a member of The Walkers.
Supported by his newfound allies and friends, Tryunn has been slowly but steadily making his way across Norrath and the moon of Luclin, seeking adventure and education. He enjoys occasionally helping younger adventurers he comes across, as well as just listening with rapt attention to the teachings of his elders. One day, he hopes to meet each of the Gods in turn, if only to lay eyes on the sacred powers of the world. Until then, he will continue his journeys, occasionally retutning home to his beloved city of Felwithe, home to the race of his bretheren, the High Elves. _________________ Tryunn Tue`Imajynn |
