>upload Grav-vaf, Historical Background.doc >Grav-vaf was born on one of the lesser Vorcarian- settled worlds: less populous, less prosperous, less hospitable, less developed. The world's harsh conditions have proven difficult for the inhabitants of Sikk-em 2, even for a race as tough and proud as the People (Vorcarians). The same fierce will to survive that has served the People well and led them to become formidable hunters and warriors has served them on Sikk-em 2 as well. In response to the scarcity of resources, the People there have become gatherer/ recyclers as well as hunters. Enough of them are involved in this activity that they've developed a name for those that specialize in it: Bone-diggers. To be sure, Bone-diggers aren't the most honored of the People on Sikk-em 2, and the People from other worlds actively disdain them. But that matters little to the Bone-diggers. They know their struggle contributes to their various tribes' survival and that is all that truly matters. However, they do tend to be even more abrasive than the usual Vorcarian. >Grav-vaf is one of the more accomplished Bone-diggers of his extended family group, the Clan Ku-joh. He knows his fierce digging for resources has helped keep his kin alive, and his efforts have earned him a measure of respect. That has not yet translated into success at finding a mate, as warriors can claim greater glory, but Grav-vaf is a patient hunter, and he keeps working to gather the scent of glory around him and to strengthen his Clan. However, his Clan will be forced to do without his labors now, because one day he went out on one of his forays and the next thing he knew, he was waking up inside a stasis tube. END
