Hi all!  LisztesFerenc has transferred me here from Group B; great to meet you all!  I'll be contributing the following to the game:<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/tVlStew.jpg?1)</div><strong>Nathan Ordwald</strong>(http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=979021)<br/><strong>Race:</strong>Half-Elf<br/><strong>Class:</strong>Rogue<br/><strong>Background:</strong>Inheritor (tattoo)<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Biography</div><div class="spoiler_body">Nathan was born in the northern reaches of Lupravia, in the village of Matton where he lead a modest life.  The son of a local tavern girl, Kathrine Ordwald, who the locals suspect was seduced by a passing itinerant who's identity she's never revealed, Nathan grew up more carefree than most of his peers thanks to anonymous donations his mother kept getting to support him.  A bit more headstrong than most, he failed to show proper respect to a passing nobleman during one of their generational visits by questioning what appeared unwanted advances of a girl in the village.  The man promptly had his guards beat him within an inch of his life.<br/><br/>Since then, Nathan mood darkened somewhat and he was constantly getting into fights with those others who disliked him and constantly reminded him of the humiliation.  Sometimes he'd win by luck, more often he'd get beaten and left in the mud.  On bad days, he'd leave to go wandering in the nearby woods, sometimes for introspection and other times in hopes of connecting with his elven side which he was always curious about.  It was during one of his forays that he met and befriended a foraging goblin, Shaswalla.  From then, he began to spend more time out of the village with his new friend, who taught him many things, including the goblin way of fighting - speed, agility, and cunning.<br/><br/>With his ability to win fights, and thus able to restore his dignity with his own hands, Nathan began to gain confidence in himself once again.<br/><br/>Growing up, Nathan worked odd jobs where he could, fleecing rich traveler's for what they were worth.  He' generally played up the image of the charming rogue in hopes of catching the eye of the next passing Skirith noble girl, and has tried to distance himself from his more rambunctious days when he was constantly get in fights; if nothing else, he would like to provide his mother with a better living than what she can get from a poorly paying job that will undoubtedly push her off when she can no longer perform her duties, or her beauty finally fades away.  Whilst he waits, he keeps his ears open for some get-rich-quick scheme that he thinks has a reasonable chance of success as he travels between settlements whilst performing more reputable business.</div></div>
