I have decided that things will just be easier if I keep the Dwarf-ympics character separate from the story character. And, I don't want to make two shield-specific characters, so say hello to
Líceyi ìleova, protector of the wilds.
Yes, I made an elven druid. Hold onto you complaints for a moment though, he'll be entertaining enough for your needs, I think.

The very heart of the Divine Jungle had been threatened. Goblins, humans and dwarves had all taken part in the wholesale destruction of the ancient woods, causing unfathomable damage to the sacred trees and the woodland creatures that dwelt within their shade.
The elves, caretakers of the wooded realm, had attempted negotiations with the raiding creatures, but all ears had proven deaf to elven speech. The time for talk had ended, the time for action had come.
In times of dire need, the spirits of the forest would pick a champion to lead the charge against those who threatened the world-roots of the twelve sacred trees, and so they did now. Líceyi, who as a child had always been more attuned to the slightly more savage aspects of nature, was picked by the forest.
In the years between that time and his coming of age, the spirits taught him the speech of animals and the sacred knowledge of the woodwalk, allowing him to commune with beasts and traverse the exceptionally wooded pathes of the deep forests with unusual ease. Finally, at his age ceremony, he was presented with the ashen club which showed his position as wood-guardian, as well as some light armor provided by the trees with their own flesh.
Hoisting his club to the winds, he cried out vengeance against the fiends that had despoiled this land of life which had stood for ages before the lesser races had reached the age of reason. Their blood would feed the ground, and from their bodies the black vines would grow as a warning against those foolish enough to attempt the same travesty. From death, there is life. From life, death. The circle cannot be broken.
EDIT: Speaking, learning and excitement-seeking animals + [AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE] = FUN.
