Background:
Waarom Daarom, in his early youth, was idle and feckless...and then Gullykin burned to the ground.
As a youth, Waarom was the best shot of his generation, often earning him the title of 'Eagle Eye' or 'Topshot of the Super Longshot Window Breaker." Waarom particularly fancied the latter...even though he spent many a night locked in the barn by his father, who was tired of paying the neighbors for new window panes.
Waarom was too much even for his teachers—bright as they come, his nervous energy couldn't keep him still and focused in this books, and he would often climb trees to great heights and sling stones in complicated geometric patterns off the rooftops of Gullykin, seeing just how many reflections it took to land a stone through a window pane...he just never got over breaking glass it seems...
The Amn-Gate War was this hin's wake up call to adulthood however, and with all that he took for granted having been taken from him—the security of home—he took to the calling of Arvoreen, and began down the road to perfect his slinging skills in a dedicated warrior fashion, and to find the most efficient and cunning way to defend the homeland.
Goals:
- Preternaturally gifted in dexterity—and intellect for his race—he takes a keen interest in a skillful attack towards his enemies, never even giving them a chance to get close to his person. When that doesn't work, RUN!
- Defend Gullykin from any and all future attacks.
- Challenge those that would judge all hins with prejudice and bias, whether through reasoning or might. For Waarom, the hin race is the best race, and if he hears one more accusation of being a Thief, he's fully prepared to launch a stone "under the belt" at the accuser, both figuratively and literally.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
- Waarom is focused on earning Hins the proper respect they deserve.
- Creating a Gullykin Militia, to defend the homeland.
- Waarom puts total faith in his own moral judgements, that in defending Gullykin in the future, he will become the first Knight of Gullykin...and maybe get a statue or something in his likeness.

My ship plowed through the storm.
Looking into the waves, I grew dizzy,
for I glimpsed the chasm between myself & the infinite.
Yacht life.
