Role

Chapter 1

Sindrai, by the standards of heroes, is a very simple and ordinary man. Where
so many adventurers are marked with horrible scars, elaborate tattoos,
stunning good looks or any number of noteworthy traits - Sindrai is average
sized, average looking, brown haired, brown eyed, slightly plump and an
unremarkable fellow. Where many escape terrible circumstance or answer calls
to incredible adventure Sindrai hails from a small, insignificant farming
village where little ever occurs. He was not orphaned, tortured, raped, or
visited by demons or angels. He was born of ordinary folk, raised to be a
simple farmer, perhaps read an inordinate amount but was otherwise typical.

He is simple, but intelligent, thoughtful and not given to accept anything as
truth without careful consideration. There, really, is where the story
begins. In his village he was pleasant and mostly unnoticed but his mind was
always at work contemplating and questioning everything he saw.

The questions we ask ourselves shape our thoughts, our thoughts shape our
actions, actions shape our lives and lives shape the world. Therefore it is
important to ask yourself good questions.

The "good" question for Sindrai was, "How should I live?" When he came of age
he had no sure answer to this question. Yet, he knew enough to know his
purpose would not be found in a hut in an unknown and unimportant farming
community.

He has some simple beliefs:

1) He can be better person. He can improve everything from his magical craft
to his very soul. Purity in deed and thought is his utmost goal. Too much
selfishness, too little work and conviction are the roads to Ruin.

2) Some things, especially Purity, are worth fighting for. Though he is no
great warrior he believes if simple men do not stand for their beliefs they
will just be sitting when Ruin comes.

3) You can hear your thoughts better in the quiet of Nature. Cities are the
constructs of a society that assails your individualism. If you want to think
for yourself pull away from the gray grip of civilization.

4) One should approach life with passion, dedicated to their beliefs, and
always in search of personal growth and betterment.
