The salty sea air slammed against your face, the boat rocking back and forth, making you slightly sea sick. Nothing, however, could spoil your god mood, for you and your small band of guard have at last spotted land, and are preparing to dock at a makeshift wooden platform made for docking ships. Of course, your transport could hardly be considered a ship, more a fishing boat, but what could a poor soul such as yourself do, when tasked with living in poverty or rolling the dice and trying at fortune and riches?
Looking at the line that you could recognize at land, you began to remember everything from your early life up to your present....
Your name is ___, and you were born in the far away land of Ungar, your father working as a ___ and your mother a ___.
Fill in the blanks. |

Your father and mother found their love in the farm, spending the days tilling the farm land and trying to collect enough food to sell and last 'till the next season. Ever since you could first walk and talk, your parents had taught you the basics of farming and how to survive out there, but no matter how hard they tried they simply could not afford you a proper education.
Then, around the age of twelve, life changed, as it nearly always does, and you took an apprenticeship as... |

a doctor's apprentice. Macie was very ambitious, but also kind-hearted. She wanted to do something that would benefit herself more than farming, but something that would also benefit others. |

You took an apprenticeship as a doctor, and after years and years of training you finally reached adulthood. You had become skilled enough in healing and treating wounds to make the less wise think you were a sorcerer.
Then, as an adult, you worked as... |
|
|
A doctor. She wasn't going to even think of doing anything else, considering the years she had spent training in the art of medicine. |

The reason you had traveled to Ungar was a fog cloud of mystery, known only to you, me, and others you wished to disperse the information to. You traveled because... |
|
|
why not? Her life as a doctor had been fun, but had never really gotten her out anywhere to see new places. She figured that this journey would satisfy her sense of adventure, and perhaps she could help other travelers with the minor wounds that would inevitably come every now and then. |

You simply came to Ungar to help others and satisfy your sense of adventure. Your race...
Human
Jack of all trades, other than bartering with anyone in the other races, do to hate among other races. Easiest race.
Elf
Efficient in spells and ranged combat, debuff to melee.
Dwarves
Skilled in melee combat, however this is punished by low skills in magic/ranged.
Goblins
Skilled with engineering magic, and the only ones able to construct airships. Also good at bartering, however lack of combat skills. Easily the most difficult race to play as. |

|
human, though she doesn't exactly despise other races. |
