Unread post by Exodus22 »

Bio-
Tore Ma'feyn was born in a cozy hamlet near Llewellyn, and lived there with a family of five; his mother, his father, a sister and a brother. At the very young age of 14, Tore lost his sister, Dersii to a plague which was rapidly spreading over the land. Similar to the bubonic plague, it had already claimed many lives of elves and humans alike. Convinced that he had to prevent losing his two sons to the rapidly spreading disease, Tore's father took his wife and two sons overseas to Imnescar, where they had encountered many hardships concerning work.
Due to the intolerance of foreigners, work was extremely difficult to find for the Ma'feyns. The family fell into the plight of starvation, which eventually took the lives of Tore's parents. At the age of 20, Tore was left alone with his brother Korvin. In their vulnerable state, they were soon thereafter abducted and separated by slave traders, who sold Tore to a Red Wizard. The wizard's magic forced Tore into slavery, obeying all of the wizard's twisted demands. Reading potion recipes, carrying thousands of books, cleaning the tower, and other chores were moments Tore considered "freedom", as he was constantly the subject to the wizard's experimentations. Because of these experimentations, Tore began to take to the arcane, and exhibited a natural prowess of it. The powers helped push him slowly toward insanity. Tore decided that he had enough of the life he was given.
Deep in a cold winter's night, as the wizard lay sleeping, Tore took up a spear and violently murdered the wizard, laughing manically as he repeatedly impaled the wizard, convinced that each thrust meant he was that much closer to his freedom.
The murder of the wizard went entirely unnoticed, since they had lived in complete isolation for 100 years. With blood on his hands, Tore began to flee to Baldur's Gate.
As Tore was making his way down the trade road, he encountered a group of bandits attacking a young woman. She was a beautiful wood elf with dark brown, shoulder length hair and green eyes. She was shorter than Tore, standing at just under 5'6''. She was very slender and younger than he (about 110 years old), but something about her energetic green eyes said she was more than a simple commoner. Tore was enraged at the sight of the attack, and was driven by his admiration of her beauty to attempt to rescue Alexia from the four humans. In the mix of the commotion they were causing with the young woman, Tore managed to charge and impale one man with his spear. The three remaining men fled for their lives, uncertain of Tore's talent or intentions. When the impaled man collapsed, Tore immediately turned to Alexia, who was in tears and thanked him for rescuing her. As she embraced him, a tear ran down his face, since this was the only moment of kindness he had experienced in a century.
Thus began a close friendship, which lasted for a year before Alexia and Tore began to become intimately close to each other. Her energetic, naive, and charismatic nature complimented his reserved lifestyle and uncertainty. Over 3 years, Alexia taught Tore how to speak Elven, as well as the ways of Elven society. He couldn't believe someone was so accepting of him, and he in turn told her everything he could remember about himself. He told Alexia of his enslavement and the murder of the wizard, which she had unexpectedly responded positively to.
It were as though he were living in a dream.
Being an elf it was odd for Tore to sleep, but being raised by a human for the past 100 years had instilled the habit of seep upon him. Alexia encouraged this behavior, believing that through Tore's dreams he would discover himself and finally obtain peace. He dreamt of Alexia and his happiness for months, but slowly nightmares began to creep into his dreams. Slowly, he began to dream of Alexia's death, sometimes by his own hand. He grew fearful, and finally fled from Alexia, leaving the only peace he knew behind. This caused him to slowly go insane over the next 3 years, where he traveled to Baldur's Gate and sought out Tyressen, who in his now severely contorted mind, saved him from his enslavement.

Alexia is now almost completely erased from Tore's memory, as well as the murder of the wizard, the bandit, and all memories of his family. It is possible for the key to Tore's memory is Alexia, the only peace he has ever known. Even now, Tore is attacked by his dreams, where he can see his past, but does not believe it.
