Background; [spoiler]
Ruoren is the only son of, Aurrin, a human male fighter, and Elliana, a elf wizard. Throughout his childhood Ruoeren followed his parents throughout their adventuring (he would always stay behind in the villages/towns while his parents would go in crypts,etc...). Being constantly on the road, Ruoren, or Ren, came to enjoy spending time in the outdoors, especially since this was the ideal time to be with his parents.
At the age of 15, his parents never came back from one of their outings. He investigated the area where they went, but saw that it was overrun by a number of undead. With little money and the few skills that his parents had thought, he took to the wilds and offered his services as a guide for travellers and merchants. A number of years later, he returned to the site of his parents dissapearance with a number of companions. After fighting through a number of undead and fighting his own parents mutilated bodies, he took their possesions and took off on his own to process what had just happened, and to finally grieve their deaths.
Ruoren is fairly non-descript for a half-elf. His blonde hair is cut short, with green eyes from his mother's heritage. He has a number of scars and scabs, some healed, some not, but none that disfigure his face or that take much notice. He is fairly tall with a solid frame, but not overly muscular. It seems that his attire and equipment have seen a fair share of the road, with mud permenantly crusted on the edges.
He recently arrived in Harp Port after guiding a number of merchants and travellers to the area who wanted to see if the legend would be true. Due to his hard past and somewhat bleak view on the nature of the world, he has decided to stay a few extra days to see what would happen in the community.
