Name: Rhygor
Age: 11
Trait: Eye for Detail
Backstory: The son of a scholar and a healer, Rhygor would often sneak into his father's study to read. The papers were mostly boring articles with drawings of plants, which were his family's specialty. His knowledge of local flora was also built upon by his mother. This has given him a bit of respect among the local children as "that kid that knows where the Funnygus grows", Funnygus being a mildly hallucinogenic mushroom incredibly similar in appearance to Horrorcap, another hallucinogenic fungus with terror-inducing effects.
Often mocked by his peers for his ability to read in the first place, Rhygor nonetheless fits in fairly well with the rowdy village boys, and often accompanies them on trips into the wilds to play and forage.
Physical appearance: An unremarkable build, of average height and perhaps less-than-average strength, Rhygor's most striking traits are his vividly emerald eyes and the shock of white, cow-licked hair that sits above his left eye.
Name: Duncan
Age: 14 years old.
Trait: Aspiring Swordsman
Back-story: Duncan was raised on stories of Chivalrous Knights, whose duties were to the people of the realm. Ever since of the tales of Ser Harris the Hydra Slayer, Duncan has trained in the forest swinging sticks at trees and rocks. After some time, his parents saved up enough money to buy a wooden sword for Duncan to train with. This gift solidified Duncan's aspiration for knighthood, hoping one day to catch the eye of a knight into page hood.
Physical Attributes: Duncan's father worked as a lumberer, so carrying smaller logs was most of Duncan's childhood. He is well toned, being able to swing hard, but it also stunted his swiftness, making him hit less fluidly. He has curly long brown hair, and brown eyes.
Name: Odo
Age: 9
Trait: Lucky
Back-story: bitten by a rabid dog several times at the tender age of six, Odo was abandoned by his parents in the woods after showing the first symptoms, as they could not bear to watch their child slowly succumb to the degenerative illness that would surely follow. However, Odo, for some ungodly reason, does not appear to have actually died from this, though he does twitch a little and may be a tad slow at times, and he also doesn't seem to like water at all. Nevertheless, he's alive, and also suspected of being a demon in his home village, so from there on in had to learn how to provide for himself. Fortunately (and fortune is something Odo appears to possess in frankly amazing quantities, although, to be fair, most of it should be spent by now, really) he's managed thus far through a combination of begging, theft and honest labor. He even sometimes plays with the other children (only when their parents can't see, though), and it is with funny games in mind that he joins the gang today. The other children mostly keep him around because he can be convinced to do a lot of highly questionable things with frankly minimal arguments.
Physical Attributes: a small, mildly undernourished, bony child with a conspicuously scarred left arm, beady eyes and thin blond hair. A bit of hair is missing on the back of the head, where some more bite scars are visible. Wears a burlap garment that appears to be something like a short sleeveless robe, though perhaps a more accurate term would be a burlap dress. Doesn't have shoes, and has a surprisingly rough look to him despite being a child.
Name: Towa
Age: 10
Trait: Prepared
Back-story: Poor all of his life, he was left to be raised by humble parents in a humble shack, on the very very edge of town. Mainly because they were tanners. He, himself, though, grew small crops around the house. not healthy enough ones, to be taken, but, healthy enough to keep his family from starvation, when the hides were scarce. Hearing a chance he could leave his humble, boing, and rather lack luster light, behind, he took it with barely a second glance.
Physical Attributes: His cloths are but the basic coverings, and already are covered in dirt. His hair is dirty blond, and he reeks of. . . well, the dirt. Everything about him seems to be a shade of brown. Even his skin.
Name: Yonzy
Age: 8
Trait: The Leader
Hyper-Active
Back-story: Tends towards a loner's lifestyle, quiet enough that those that don't know him have taken him for a mute. Has no family and avoids the orphan homes, gets by begging or stealing from the adults and digging in the trash behind the inn. The few pals he does have are so because he knows how to get things.
Physical Attributes: Has a miniature build such that even the younger boys could carry him in their arms, cultivates a skinny and unhealthy appearance that has helped him avoid beatings on a number of occasions out of pity. Has stoney grey eyes that look right through you.
I apologize to all those whom did not make it.
wipeout1024, I could not accept you because you did not include a trait.
Pufferfish, I could not accept you because the "Raised by wolves" and "Rehab" backstory. It just does not fit with the time.
I'm sorry, Ama, but your backstory was a bit too unbelievable. Children could not become rich in the medieval days. They were moreso property of their parents, so their parents would get all the money.
Writing up the intro now, just wanted to give you a heads up...
