Oren Arutan |
Hello there! I am applying with a Shaman (Animal Spirit)
Once his wares have been sold he tends not to stick around to be social but rather retreats to nearby woods for to rest up. He is always kind to animals he meets offering them food. Oren understands that nature is a cycle of life and death, and that humanoids are at the top of the food chain. It brings him no joy to fell an animal for food and he is usually as gentle as he can be, ensuring the animal does not suffer.
His mother was a druid and defender of Crystalhurst where they lived. Oren's mother at the height of her contractions wandered into Fangorn forest giving birth to Oren there on the forest floor, alone. That is until his mother summoned the creatures of the forest to meet her son forming an unbreakable bond between Oren and nature. When he was young Oren spent most of his time exploring the forest. He was warned by his mother to be careful about going to far, Darkblight roamed the dark depths of the forest.
One day Oren happened upon a fox that he tried to befriend, however the creature ran into the woods to hide. Not long after Oren was walking when suddenly he felt a pull at something latched onto his boot. He looked down and it was the fox. As Oren looked down curiously, the creature went rigid and low to the ground, it's nose pointing off into the distance. Oren ducked down and hid in the foliage. He followed the foxes gaze to a strange creature skulking through the woods. The creature continued on past not noticing Oren. Oren was very thankful to the fox and suddenly felt bonded to the thing. Later when h described the humanoid forrest creture to his mother he realized it had been a Darkblight, probably doing it's best to disrupt the splendor of the forest. From then on everywhere he went the fox followed him and they were there for one another.
When he turned 21, Oren decided to leave Crystalhurst and explore Nirmathas. His mother had taught him the way of both divine forest spirit magic, as well as culinary arts. He realized he had a knack for preparing delicious meals. He began to travel along the Marideth river stopping at towns long the way. At first he offered to cook unique meals at local inns until he had enough money to but a push cart along with coking supplies. He began to come into towns for weeks or months at a time and setup his cart selling food to those that came walking by.
Basically he's running a food truck :)
Oren has now ventured to the small city of Phaendar. Rumors of an upcoming market festival had brought him to town. Every day he enters the town across the bridge over the Marideth river, goes into town to sell his meals and then leaves through the front gate wanting to spend the night in the small forest there rather than spending a night in the city.
