Nicklo Ni'Font
Glances at you with an amused look etched upon his handsome features, "My
life you say?" leans back, his hand coming to his chin, rubbing his short,
neatly trimmed beard thoughtfully, "Nobody has really cared much, and never
really asked, but you seem to want to know...so I will tell you." Sitting
down on the bench, Nicklo leans
forward some, his eyes glazing over as he drifts back into the mists of memory,
"I was born into what you would call, a normal, healthy family and environment.
For me life at the early age was very...vague, I remember my father used to
bathe me in a large wooden keg that was sawed in half..." his face darkens
momentarily as he obviously stumbles onto an unpleasant memory in his
reminiscing, "My father was not in my life very long...when I was a lad of six
years, his company was called to arms, our small village was being invaded
by a renegade band of elves and sylvans, who had stealthily silenced the town
watch." releases a deep breath, pausing to collect his thoughts once more,
"He was slain finally, dying slowly after being pierced with many arrows."
Tossing you a sideways glance he adds, "No, I do not harbor any form of
prejudice
against either race, a race is not responsible for the actions of a few."
Continuing with his tale, Nicklo begins to talk once more, "My mother, and
I fled with the rest of the wains and children to the nearest civilization,
Jantalar. The city was far different than the quiet life of the village we had
until recently dwelt in. My mother worked as washerwoman for nobles and wealthy
families, but there was too much competition from other poor folk, and she found
herself renting her body on
street corners. She did not return one night." Nicklo clenches his jaw tightly
for a moment, regaining control of his emotions, "I had to support myself, I
became a errand boy and page at the barracks, growing up alone and scraping
together a living, asking for nothing from anyone, but I made it."
Turning to you he finishes, "I left when I came of age, wandered around...came
to Landing first...but eventually moved to Ta'Vaalor." Grins crookedly at you
and concludes, "I hope that satisfies you a bit, if not, find me and ask me for
more, my life is riddled with dark and deep things no one knows."
