Background:
Tythir grew up in a small, secluded forest commune. As a child, he was rather shy and played by himself most of the time. The other children bullied him from time to time, so he never saw socialization as a positive value. Instead, his world was introspective, and he used most of his time to reflect upon the world that he saw from the outside. Having developed a strong sense of morals but no social skills, adolescence was a difficult time for him. He couldn’t seem to fit in or find a place for himself, so he lagged even further behind his peers. He watched them grow up and explore their inner abilities, but he himself only found limited success in magic and crafting. He felt too normal—anything but special. He found himself torn between his elf blood, which wanted to try everything to see if there was anything he might like to do, and his human ancestry that provided a need to excel and specialize. Clearly, he thought, his home land would not suffice. So, he left the sylvan community in search of his calling. For him, everything took a back seat to this quest—even, to a degree, his morality.
He ended up on a busy human settlement that was still in its early construction. He helped the laborers as best he could, but he lacked the upper body strength to assist in the actual building process. He did learn a little about carpentry, though, and his rudimentary magic training did assist the locals. The people there got him to open up a little, and he established his own home close to the center of the city. Still, the world outside the forest was new and frightening, and Tythir remained solitary, spending most of his time whittling or studying magic. As the city grew, shady people moved in, making the streets a little less safe. Tythir grew paranoid, and he developed a habit of casting defensive spells when his nerves got the best of him. Through this, he discovered a natural affinity for abjuration magic, and he devoted more time to its study. He even developed something of a name for himself in his city district. Today, he is still quite cautious, withdrawn, shy, and indecisive. Yet part of him longs to leave his comfortable surroundings behind and strike out to discover his destiny.
