#22424, "Tanith's Role Chapter 5"
|
RoleChapter 5 Backstory Added Sat Aug 16 14:20:11 2008 at level 1:Tanith was born to House Adoun, a middling-high noble house in Tir-Taleth. He was, from birth, a severe disappointment to his parents. He had their blood, their delicate beauty, and none of their composure. What intellect he did share was constantly under seige by his sense of adventure.
You could consider him ADD. You could call him hyperactive. Perhaps even morally questionable. Several things were very much true: he had a good heart, was generally kind, and ALWAYS in trouble. Tanith just didn't do well with structure, or rules.
He rapidly became an artist at dodging his tutors, escaping his classes, avoiding his father's guards, his mother's handmaids, and anyone else that might want him to do ANYTHING responsible. He typically escaped his father's manor to play with the city children. Stones, knights, Nightwalker tag. He was forever climbing trees, and equally as often falling out of them. He wasn't a bully, and he wasn't a leader, but his wild energy and sense of adventure rapidly drew a following of other children... all getting in even more trouble collectively.
Tanith was raised to believe in the Gods of Light. Deep in his heart he felt a secret kinship with the elf maiden, Baerinka. He felt a fierce sense of joyous glory as he heard her tales, and those of her followers. And, quite frankly, he thought the statue of her was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. It was, of course, totally unacceptable for a child of Adoun to follow a warrior-goddess. No great noble would dream of getting their hands dirty. But, of course, he did. If not openly.
Tanith's glorious childhood drew to a close quite abruptly. The child of an itinerate tinker joined Tanith's group of friends, and immediately started cruelly abusing the youngest. Tanith defended the weak, bloodied the bully, and was turning back to play when the tinker's son took him in the kidney with a knife. Ouch.
A burst of adrenaline, a savage yell, a flurry of movement, and somehow Tanith ended up in the dirt, bleeding out, while the tinker's son had his own knife in his chest. Tanith's friends ran for help, and with the aid of a town healer Tanith was saved. Missing his kidney, of course.
This was, of course, a tragic disappointment to his parents. They never liked his association with the commons, but getting knifed by one was the last straw. They intended to send him off to a boarding school as soon as he recovered.
So there we are. Worried parents alone in a manor, wounded Tanith in the town hospice, and an enraged tinker with a dead child and no justice. The tinker had a few fireworks in his wagon, and thought to use them to blow up the manor in revenge. Of course, he was no explosives expert, and while he succeeded in blowing up the manor, he also blew himself up. Leaving Tanith in the hospice, orphaned and angry.
Tanith, when he recovered, had no interest in inheriting his father's title or responsibilities, instead choosing to make his way own way in the lands.
So. What does this backstory mean for his behavior? 1. He never learned to read, or write. No use of the scrolls skill, no notes, and no knowledge from notes unless someone tells him verbally. 2. He will react badly to structure. A firm leader, orders, commands, rules anything of the like will generally ca
