Name: Andos Longarc
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male
Bio: Andos was the son of a trapper who lived in the less civilized parts of the isles. From the first day he could walk to the day he left his home, he was taught that nothing could be earned without hard work and ambition (a strange lesson, coming from a man who had never even walked into a city, though he did not point that out), and that pragmatism was the most efficient way to get the hard work done. He hunted throughout his youth, and became an excellent shot over the years, while growing a strong sense of independence as he spent less and less time with his family.
When he was roughly twelve, he dreamed for six consecutive nights about a great inferno falling from the sky and engulfing the forests around him. On the seventh day, he convinced his family to go sell furs earlier than usual in the season by pleading and harassing until they accepted, and on the seventh night, a great fire burned down the woods and his parents' home. Although they had been saved, they were now left without a livelihood. After a short time of deliberation, it was decided that his father (who only had enough money to buy passage for two) would leave with his mother to find new lands in another island, while he would attempt to become a squire. He joined the only order which could use an archer: the Farseers.
Although he was never completely in accordance with some of the teachings of the Order, he did adopt Miser as his patron god - believing that while life had already been granted to him, death could yet be granted to any who would call himself his enemy. Terrifying with a bow, he quickly gained the favor of the Order's authorities, to the point where he was blessed at the age of sixteen and became Sir Yalmer's squire at the age of seventeen.
