You always make up the best topics, Brody! I started with the topic: suspicious of others and shrewdly intelligent, and I went off a little bit. I like this character though.

Vahn was once a nice young boy. He minded his manners and respected his elders. His mother raised him to the best of her ability and she always thought he would do great things. She taught him math and grammar and he was a great pupil. His mother and father were in a loveless relationship. Father would spend his days and nights in the taverns and Mother depised him for that. Mother continued to teach him and everyday she would remind her son that world could be his one day - just don't turn out to be like your father.

One day Vahn woke up to find both parents gone. He wandered around the house and around the fields surrounding their home. He found his father passed out in a stack of hay. Disgusted, he turned to look for his mother. He would look for days, but could never found her. Over then next few months, he would hear rumors of his mother working at a brothel in this town or that. He didn't know if he should take that as truth or an insult. He would ask his father, but he never got an answer.

Mother basically supported the household. She had worked as a servant for an upper class woman. Her cooking and cleaning brought home enough coin for Father to spend on ale. What ever remained bought food for the family. Now, that Mother was gone no money came in. Vahn was still young, about 11 years old now, so he tried to find an apprenticeship or another job. As the son of a drunkard and a whore, he found that no one would hire him. He tried his hand at stealing, since that was the only thing left. He managed to get a few loaves of bread here and there. He got cocky once and got caught trying to pick a pocket.Now, that incident got him labeled he as a theif. No one would look his way; he was basically outcasted.

Through his teenage years he grew to depend only on himself. The only person he could ever trust was taken away from him and now it seems like every else is against him. He practiced his thieving skills until they were an art to him. Using some of his earnings, he would buy a few books to keep up his studying. He did that in honor of his mother, since he knew that she would encourage him to keep up his studies. Soon he has a decent stash of coin, so it bought himself a horse and few other things needed for traveliing and left that small town.
