Character History Pre-Creation: At an early age, Gunther went to work with his father. Initially, he carried his father's tools or retrieved items he needed while undertaking his labors. As Gunther matured into a young teen, he took up the hammer and began pounding spikes alongside his father. He learned about measuring and cutting wood. He also learned about the various densities of woods and which trees they come from. Which wood is best for various structures. When Gunther turned 16 he acquired an affinity towards sculpting with wood. He had considered building furniture, but father tried to distract Gunther from those pursuits; telling him that constructing buildings, bridges and ships is where the real money came from. During his free time, Gunther discovered a knack for carving small ornate objects out of wood with a small knife. He worked on game pieces, dolls, toys, and other various wooden utensils. He always inscribed his personal flair into the pieces. At age 18, he left his father's tutelage and employment acquiring work as a laborer at the Zeltiva docks working on shipbuilding. He has learned about the mechanics of blocks and tackle using ropes of various sizes. The experience has helped to diversify his skills working with woods. He has realized that the shipbuilders use the hardest wood in the land to build ships; Ironwood.
