Backstory : Brogar was born in a family of 3 just outside the little village of Rivermouth. He didn't have many friends as a kid but that didn't bother him, he was fine being alone and even enjoyed it sometimes. As soon as he way able to walk he wanted to go with his father to log some wood, although he couldn't really haul anything yet. When Brogar had nothing to do he mostly just explored the woods and he knew them like the back of his hand. His mother, named Mary was a typical housewife, spending her day by cooking, sowing and cleaning. Brogar's father Jamie was a hard working man trying to support his family. He was always tired when he came home from logging but that never seemed to bother him. He was a grumpy man, often wanted to be left alone but sometimes he was less grumpy. His brother Jayr was 5 years older and he always went to town to help around the place and earn some extra pocket money, he would spend it on things like sweets and goodies. Brogar's sister, Penelope, was a bold girl, she was 3 years older than Brogar and always helped her mother doing things around the house. She didn't enjoy doing it but she had no real choice, it was either help or don't get food.
When Brogar grew up, he became actually usefull helping his father logging, as opposed to being a liability. He was even paid a little because he worked as hard as he could and his father really appreciated it. His brother now worked at the pub in town called The Glorious Salmon. Nothing really changed other than the kids growing older, but that's just life in and near sparsely populated areas. The community wasn't really affected by the civil war, although some supplies were low or just not available from time to time. At the time Brogar reached the age of 21, the civil war finally reached this part of the world. When Brogar was out logging alone, his father was home sick, his family was brutally slaughtered and hanged in front of this house. When Brogar came home he was devestated because of what he saw, he bursted into tears and just cried for some time. When he finally manned up, he made a plan to leave the old world for good, as there was nothing left for him here. He packed his bags with the necessary things plus some personal belongins like his fathers watch, his brother's flute and his sister's necklace.
He traveled down the coast until he came to a port town, many others had also decided to go to the Forbidden Lands and naturally there were people profiting off of that. He also heard the dusk portals had opened again, that only made him want to leave more. He paid a captain to take him to these new lands and he boarded the ship. There were many people already on the ship and Brogar overheard they were leaving first thing in the morning. The travel was long, it lasted at least 6 months, after that he didn't bother enough to count anymore. It smelled horrible, the food was awfull, and scurvy eventually manifested itself. But Brogar wasn't really affected, sure he felt sick for some time but he was never in such a bad condition it was life threatening.
When there was finally land in sight and they docked at the port, Brogar went on to the local pub to ask around and see if anyone had any information on some spare logger's cabins. He could build one himself if he had enough time on his hands but it was easier to just restore one to livable conditions. He heard there was a spare cabin just west of the town and Brogar decided to go there. -END-
I'll start my character in a village near the coast and just walk west and build an abandoned cabin, RP I found it and then refurbish it. My personality is in the application but I'll rework it anyway.
Personality : Brogar is a quiet man, still haunted by the sight of his hanged family. He tries his best to make other's happy because he feels there is enough harm and pain in the world allready. Brogar is always in the mood to learn new skills, he believes one can always better him/herself. But he's not really opportunist, usually seeing mostly the bad stuff in things.
