You're an orphan. Your parents had died from the war of the nation. Most of the adults from your village were drafted and some returned. You were simply the "unlucky" one that no one returned for. Or so the other kids say.

Life at the village orphanage is terrible. You hated it there, no one truly cared for you there. Most of the time you were allowed to run wild for 24 hours. So you decided to leave. It wasn't a decision you made easily but you thought your chances at opportunity would be better on the streets than in the orphanage.

After a month of so of barely scraping by, you meet Steven. He had no ill will towards you. When you met, he was the only one who passed you on the street that showed concern. He gave you some money to scrape by then left to fulfill a contract. Although he was surprised when he ran into you again, that's when he decided to offer for you to come with him. He teaches you most of what he knows while you travel through the nations.

Currently, you walk through a forest together toward the nearby town. It's late and you're tired. This causes Stephan to glance back at you, "Come on kid. We have to make it to town by nightfall to collect my pay."
