Background

Fuelwen's Home Region.

Fuelwen's family is a chain of Falkah. This has driven them deeper and deeper into poverty. His parents and extended family have accepted that this is the lot in life of that branch. They try and take pride in being farmers and not hunters, despite the way they're looked upon in Sahuagin society. Knowing that they are too poor to equip their son for this quest, they've tried their best to prepare him for life as a Falkah. In Fuelwen's eyes, they frittered away what money they earned due to their fatalism. He was determined to escape this life of drudgery.

He is gifted with fortitude, strength and intelligence far beyond that of his peers. Despite this, the stain of coming from Falkah hung about him like a cloud as he grew up. He was strong enough and tough enough to make the bullies think twice, but there was always someone who thought they could stand up to him. The continual fights strained the relationships with his family and the community. The characteristic lack of privacy in Sahuagin culture gave him little room to hide from the conflicts.

The only escape Fuelwen had was spending time on Gnala. Gifted with an amphibious nature, he could stay out of the water for as long as he liked, which few of his peers could do. From a very young age, he became known to the dockworkers. Instead of helping his family farm, he started doing odd jobs around the docks. Sometimes he would be a gopher. As he got older and stronger, he would clean barnacles from beneath the water line, or inspect ships for damages. When not scrambling for money at the docks, he would spend time in the library. At first, merely as a client; he read everything he could find in there. Into his early teen years, he started working as a scribe. Given the rate at which books decayed, it was a profession the island was in dire need of, and he was payed well.

He hid this money away. He would bury it deep in the caves around Algol-Nun, relying on the natural hazards and the sheer scale of the area to keep his trove a secret. On more than one occasion, he had to defend it from peers who followed him to see what was so important in the caves. They, not Fuelwen, bore the scars of these encounters. After one particularly bloody encounter, Fuelwen had the saying "I do not fear thieves; thieves fear me" tattooed on his back by one of the sailors. After this, thanks his fierce nature and sharp night vision, on a few occassions he even worked as a guard for some of the ships waiting in port.

Among his people, he constantly tried to prove himself. He excelled at luqash, and proved adept at the hunting exercises the children undertook. When it came to hunting small game, he didn't always get the most, but he never made a bad showing.

He did not see his parents on his coming of age day. He visited the priestess in secret, and received his quest. He asked her to tell his parents where he had gone. He retrieved his stash of funds, went to the surface, and bought the equipment he thought he would need.

He would return a Hunter or not at all.

Quest Notes

Daryl, I'm actually looking for you to suggest a quest that would link in with your general idea of the campaign. I'm figuring on this being my character's "hook" for the campaign.

plans to be an amphibious octopus/sahuagin duskblade, perhaps with a few levels of beastmaster.
