| Volke of Alkenstar |
Trashed previous backstory for something a little more competitive with you over-achievers. :p Also added the human skill point I forgot about.
Volke was born to wealthy family in urban Alkenstar. He had an extremely sheltered upbringing along with his best friend, his little sister Aera. Volke’s mother sent him to boarding school after Volke’s request to get out more, finally giving in that he was old enough to take on the responsibilities.
Volke went to the military academy where he trained extensively with a gun. His goal was to become a Marshal and defend the people from those with ill will towards Alkenstar. However, while Volke was away tragedy struck, the people of the city had a small riot, which involved burning down his family manor, with his family and sister within.
Volke promptly left the military academy and struck out on his own. He has a memento from his Aera, a small cog charm that hangs off of his gun as his good luck charm. Otherwise alone and without means, he departed for Absalom to join the Pathfinder Society which in the past brought stories of grand magic and adventure. With the society backing him he could adventure and build a life for himself to allow for him to defend those he loves.
Volke was sent from the lodge on his first real mission to Katapesh. While Volke believes in his ability to fire a gun, his abilities are otherwise untested. Not to mention coming from a land without magic to the grand market fills him with awe.
Volke is a 22 year old man, filled with equal parts naivety and gloom. He keeps his past wrapped up and his heritage a secret. A simple name, which is only potentially his real name, and his quiet manner make him seem unrelatable. Under it all, he has a good heart and a strong moral compass, which will no doubt test him in Katapesh.
Physically he is a bit on the slight side. He is subdued and appears fairly common. He wears simple leather armor and clothes. He has dirty blond hair cut short and green eyes. He is otherwise quite average, with average weight and barely above average height.
