##### Personality

At first glance, Copper's friendly demeanor may make him seem weak-willed or cowardly. However, this is not the case. Copper is a pacifist at heart, who is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. He strongly values in diplomacy over war, but is not adverse to using force. In his free time, Copper enjoys writing in his journals, playing with his dogs (Copper Jr. and Lilac), experimenting with brewing, and exploring Soulrite. A family man at heart, Copper's favorite moments are the ones he gets to share with those he holds close.

## Physical description

### History

##### Origin

###### Early Life

Copper was born and raised on the continent of Soulrite. His family left Ta'tan generations ago, and built a small house on a riverbank in what would be later named the Northkor region. *(Today, the ruins of this house can be found south of the Ivotus Republic, and East of Thaustein.)* Being the youngest of three brothers, Copper grew up playing outside, roughousing, and adventuring around the small area he called home. As the baby of the family, Copper was often teased by his brothers for being a "mama's boy."

###### Education

Growing up in a remote area with just his family, Copper learned a lot of survival and nature-related skills from a young age. However, this came with the sacrifice of a traditional education. His mother did her best to homeschool her sons, but in the end, Copper recieved the equivalent of a elementary/primary school education. Year later, after joining Thaustein, Copper learned a lot of tactical knowledge from Lance, and found he had a natural aptitude towards strategy and diplomacy.

###### Family Tragedy

When Copper was just [insert age cause i forgor] years old, the first of many tragedies struck the Tailwinds family. One night, a hoard of undead followed the brothers home after they had stayed out playing a little too late. Fearing for his family, Copper's father, Idones, barricaded them inside the house while he went outside to fight against the monsters. By dawn, he had passed away, but achieved his mission of defending his loved ones.

The next loss occured only a few years later, when the eldest Tailwinds brother, Gold, went out on what was supposed to be a routine mining trip to gather resources (mainly coal) for the family. Feeling frustrated at the depleated nature of the upper caves, Gold ventured deeper into the mines in the hopes of finding more fruitful veins. After that, he was never seen again.

The most recent deaths in the Tailwinds family happened when Copper was 15. During a particularly harsh winter, his remaining brother, Silver fell ill with a disease unkown to the family. (Those with a modern day knowledge of medicine would identify it as tuberculosis.) Fearing for her sons, Copper's mother Brynn immediately separated the boys. She locked herself and Silver in her bedroom with what medical supplies the family had. During this time, Copper brought the pair meals, but had to leave them at the top of the stairs because he was not allowed near the room. Brynn hoped that this isolation, however painful, would save Copper from the illness that had taken over Silver, and now infected herself. After Silver passed, Brynn knew she didn't have long to live. On her final night, she took Silver's body and snuck out of the house, walking towards the tree where her husband was buried. It was here that Brynn lay down and passed away.
