Background
Born and raised in the desert lands, The desert Kitsune grew up with a merchant father and dotting mother. However, he always felt himself drawn to the fables and tales of adventurers and the world beyond his home. His father, however, would chide him away from such things as he always tells his son. "Adventuring only gets you killed my child."

He never grew up with much other than his mothers care. His father afforded their way of life until they could reach the upper class. It was in his 16th year that he grew into his own. Especially with those he grew up with.

There was one young girl in his life; her name was Kimonto. The two were of an awkward pairing to say the least. Her interests in slimes always confused him, but her kindly personality never ceased to amaze him. It was on the eve of their graduation that he proposed to her in wish that they could be more than just friends. Tragedy, however, shares no kindness.

During the days after, he obtained word about his father having been killed during a trading mission gone wrong. The black market affiliations his father was hiding behind his back were already upon him when those that he worked with came to 'collect on his failed debt'. With haste, he ran with his mother to flee from the impending danger. The sad thing was...he never had a chance to say goodbye to his love.

It was from there that he engraved her name into his crossbow to never forget. But his destination was clear: He had to find someplace else to roost. It would have taken 2 years, but word of Reloria came forth to his ears during one of his trading routes. From there...vast riches and untold wealth were in wait. It was his chance to not only lay low from those after him and his mother, but to make a new name for himself and be well known enough to not need to hide anymore.
