Character history

Kaendas was born in Zeltiva as the son of a simple family of fishermen. As he grew up, he also became a fisherman, just like his parents. He didn't choose to be one, but there was very little other choice for him. For the most part, his youth consisted of going out fishing in the early mornings, and selling his catch later on in the afternoons. He knew little else of the world up until a series of unfortunate events forced him to abandon the fisherman's life at the age of 19. Desperately looking for a job, Kaendas agreed to work for a wealthy seafaring merchant as one of his sailors/guards. The merchant made a living by trading goods with various remote cities accessible by sea. A new world opened up before Kaenda's eyes. He started to see other parts of the world other than the cold and boring docks of Zeltiva. He still remembers his first trip, a voyage to Mura during the summer.
The change of scenery was a marvelous sight for Kaendas and something he'd never forget. That day, and the many days that followed as part of the merchant's crew, changed him. The young Zeltivan sailor developed an immense interested in travelling and seeing other cities and cultures. He often spent the little free time he had with reading about distant places and their odd cultures and scenery. Not that he had much time or even the money to spend much on such interests though. His working hours were long and his pay was low. Kaendas decided to do something about the latter and started to smuggle some wares of his own back and forth between the trading posts that he visited with the fleet. A very risky operation that undermined his employer's trust and influence. Something which he paid for very dearly when it was found out.

Fired, punished, and lucky to be alive, Kaendas left the ruthless merchant's employ. But it wasn't all for nothing. At least the years of service in the fleet thought him some valuable things about trade and commerce. He started a humble trading business of his own but that didn't last long, unfortunatelly. He was quickly driven out of business and given a bad reputation by his former employer. Since there was no way Kaendas was able to compete around Zeltiva anymore, the aspiring merchant sold most of his belongings and departed Zeltiva as soon as the first opportunity arose. Where he'd end up and whether he would survive the harsh times ahead, was up to the gods now.

Hi there!

I'm Kraken, your friendly neighbourhood Character Sheet Liaison! I'm here to help make your experience on Mizahar go as smoothly as possible. Now, there are just a few quick points we need to sort out in order for your character to move forward. If you have any questions whatsoever, please don't hesitate to ask!

Lovely work on your character sheet, Kaendas. I just have some notes for you to address before continuing on. And don't forget to add a link to your character sheet to your profile! You can do this through your User Control Panel by clicking on "Profile" and pasting in the link under the appropriate section.

Birthday: You seem to be missing your character's birthday! Please be sure to add this in, including the day, season, and year. Remember - every season has 91 days except for Winter, which has 92. If your PC is 23, he would be born sometime in the year 489 AV.
History: If one were to sail from Zeltiva to Syliras, it would take a very, very long time (see: Map). However, the road between Zeltiva and Syliras is commonly used by merchants. Zeltivan sailors might also sail to Sunberth, Sahova, Mura, or Nyka, so feel free to include those in your history. You might consider Sunberth in particular if your character has a history of smuggling, especially since the Syliran Knights are very conscientious. Just please be sure you adjust your history so that your PC did not sail to Syliras.
Skills: Please adjust your skill in "swordsmanship" to "Weapon: [Type of Sword]".
- I would recommend adjusting your skill in "salesmanship" to "Negotiation". If you could also change the salesmanship points from the starting package from "10" to "15" to match the actual points number, that would be great.
Lores: You seem to be missing your character's lores! Every character begins the game with two lores. You can find great example lores on the Character Sheet Templates.
Possessions: Please specify exactly what clothing you have in your possessions. You can find the correct set under your city's Character Sheet Templates.
Heirloom: Is the book your heirloom? If so, please mark it as such. As well, if the worn map is a separate item, you will need to deduct its cost from your ledger.
Languages: You seem to be missing your PC's languages! You can include up to three languages in your CS at varying fluencies - Fluent, Basic, and Poor. The Language List has great suggestions.
Housing: Please be sure to state where your character lives (ex. what inn or tavern) and deduct the expense from your PC's ledger.

Once you address these notes and make the proper changes, please send me a private message and I'll gladly remove this post.

Thanks, and happy writing!
