Role Guidelines: There once was a small orphanage run out of a private
home in Seantryn Modan called Ardenwood Manor. It was an old place
with expensive things that you were not allowed to touch and cots for
maybe fifteen children. You spent much of your childhood there growing
up, but your memories of the place are scattered and hazy.

There was an event outside of the orphanage where multicolored motes
of light snowed down from the sky and faded just before touching the
ground. Some of those lights touched you. The orphanage is gone, now,
having burned down in a fire that claimed the lives of four children.
You survived the fire but hardly remember it.

Your childhood dreams and reality seem to mix and mingle, and you find
yourself having difficulty at times distinguishing the two.

You arrived at the orphanage as a young boy after other children who
lived there found you wandering the streets. When you arrived, a
kindly man greeted you who you came to know as Humbrand. Humbrand ran
the orphanage and you came to see him as your father. At first he
resisted, but soon, he came to clearly favor you over the other
children. He said that you had a better heart than the lot of the
rest. Many of the other children picked on you; you never knew whether
it’s because they were jealous, or whether Humbrand showed you extra
affection because you were bullied.

You always stood up for yourself, though. You’d take punches, but it
would never dampen your spirits - and a lot of that had to do with the
support you received from Umbrand.

You used to have dreams that someone was stalking you. You used to
wake up in the middle of the night and feel paralyzed after these
dreams. Just after waking, while still unable to move, you would see a
dark figure in the window, staring down at you, and you swear it was
draining life from you.

Soon, you were seeing the dark figure everywhere. It wouldn’t go away.

However, ever since you left the orphanage, you have not had dreams.

After the orphanage fire, Umbrand adopted you. You lived with him for
the last years of your childhood, but then left at his urging to
pursue the study of the divine. Umbrand always told you that you had a
natural talent for it.

DO NOT: Add any details about any of the other children at the orphanage.

Motivations: You want to convince yourself and others that you are
truly good. You are terrified that someone will discover that you’re a
fraud, even though you are honestly trying to be as good as possible.

Description Guidelines: You’re pretty innocent and naive, but you have
an inner strength. No special description instructions, but try to use
that.

Quirks: You still call Umbrand “Dad.” You aren’t particularly fond of
most of the other kids from the orphanage and you try your best to
forget your time there.

You have a terrible sweet tooth. You cannot stop yourself from eating candy.

You are incredibly protective of Umbrand.

You are free to think up a few more quirks and run with them.

I've got a single #### to give...and it's just for you.
