### Dead Parents Trope

Cue was born alongside hiw twin brother, Rylee, to Soveliss Goldflower and Atalya Goldflower. They originally lived in the Culdor Forest. However, due to dangerous mission that their mother accepted, both of their parents were involved in stopping a group called **P.O.R.T.A.L.** from opening a portal into this world, costing both of them their lives but burying the portal.

However, due to the accident that collapsed the cave that contained the portal, an extra enchantment was laid upon the portal that prevents the portal from opening even with the normal ritual. This extra ecnhantment could theoritically be removed with blood from either Soveliss or Atalya, but since they were dead, it was feared that **P.O.R.T.A.L.** would come after the twin boys and sacrifice them to open the portal. Aust Nailo of the **Wizlock** fame took the babies and separated them in different parts of the world to keep them safe from this repercussion.

### Abandoned

Cue was left on the steps of the **Hall of Divergent Meditation** when he was an infant. He grew up in the monastery as a child, being taken care of by all the monks collectively. No one monk took responsibility for his care as they all shared it.

After being there for several years, another baby was dropped off in a similar manner. Cue took it upon himself to take this younger child under his wing. Her name was Chao Mei, a Felnerese Half-Elf. Although she was taken care off similarly by all the monks, Cue became a mentor of sorts.

### Training Montage

Cue began to train as a monk. Though he was not initially respected as he never earned his spot in the Monastery, he began to prve his skills and abilities and earned the other monks' respect. Over time he began to focus on the Kensei School within the monastery, utilizing his Elf weapons of longsword and longbow. Later when it was her time, Chao Mei chose a different school, studying under the **Way of the Sun Soul**, but she still looked up to Cue.

Cue eventually rose through the ranks as a student and became one of the most skilled students. Though he had gained their respect, he always felt like any slip up or mistake at any moment would make him lose that respect. He was constantly vigilant with his training to make sure he never falls behind or makes a mistake in front of the others.

### Pilgrimage

A large network of monasteries have finalized their deal to unite their resources and knowledge. To signify a monasteries participation in said network, a group of the monks of the particular school must go on a pilgrimage and visit every monastery in the network. When the Kensei School was recruiting for monks to go on this pilgrimage and represent their school, Cue volunteered. He knew that the path they would be on would bring them around towards Ostoril and maybe he can finally get some answers about his origins.

The path they are taking, however, goes the opposite direction, meaning he is being taken the long way around to Ostoril. He is traveling with people from several schools in a large group and they have just arrived on the continent of Seldarindor in the nation of Shavren. They head east towards the city of Coppersdale...
