## Story

### Back story

Rend was born on a farm in the countryside of Mytos. He was raised by foxes never knowing his real parents. He was an energetic young shepherd mutt. He always got into fights. For him it wasn't in anger it was always sport. When he was old enough he began fighting in smaller rings and tourneys. Eventually he went into more formal Gladiatorial combat.

He worked tirelessly on the docks and doing any other manual labor job to build up the coin to buy in for the ring. The roar of the crowd was his siren's call. He trained himself hard in his off time building up his strength and body.

His first time in a true arena is something he would never forget. It was a standard fist fight. But he was facing the 3 time champion Korrent. A massive half-orc in his late 30's. This fight lasted for an hour but Rend had nothing but a smile on the entire time. Both had bloody jaws and black eyes by the end. The crowd roared as the last punch struck the champion and he went down. Rend raised his arms and howled for the crowd, who howled back in return.

A few days after that fight Korrent came to him. He said the pup had talent and the strength to be a professional. His time in the ring was up and he wanted to train new blood. Rend was happy to accept the offer to train under the champion. After months of arduous training he entered weapon combat. First against wild beasts then against people (non-lethal). He rose and became a champion of all combat. They called him the Bloody Grin with a smile as big as any of his muscles.

He had many fans, women and men alike lined up for him. Eventually on a rest day he met a young wolf/bear shamen named Jade. She was beautiful and wise beyond her years. He was almost enthralled by her. Her company after a fight was all he desired. She gave herself to him. She told him she was on a spirit walk, an ancient rite all of her people must take and that she would have to leave him. She gave him a pendant and said, "when it is time for us to be together again. This will help guide you to me and tell you of your ancestors." She kissed him and they made the most passionate love making either had ever had in their life. She was gone a few days later.

One night after she left. Rend was walking through a town and saw a star falling from the sky. It was a bold crimson as it fell to earth, in its wake he saw the shape of a bear in its tail. He built up enough gold and started looking for her. She had traveled all over Hosenfel before saying she had to return home. A home in Nolyn. With the last of his coin he decided to travel to the city of Redemption to find her. When he arrived he had no idea what to do. Out of money he turned to the church of Gaphadur of some protection jobs, which were not frequent. When he heard the God Slayer’s were looking for recruits he joined up since expeditions are frequent.
