Introduction

Borislav is a human fighter born from the riverlands of Zeilona, a territory annexed into the Empire of Gloridia. A weary sort, the adult male rocks a short bowl-cut hairstyle, a walrus-like mustache, and a small scar affixed to his nose earned from his first battle. Borislav keeps in touch with his kinsmen with the occasional letters and gifts from his travels. Above all else, he is a family man.

Background

Borislav was raised in a small agricultural village as the oldest of 8 siblings. He was expected to watch out for his brothers and sisters and lend a hand on the family farm often. It was a simple life, but by the age of 6 he wondered of the world beyond the village borders. The mystical beasts and Exotic lands of the story book called him in his dreams. It wasn’t until the village faced hard times (multiple years of crop failure) that he thought of his “brilliant” plan. He would become a soldier!

A life of adventure surely waited there! His parents were strictly against the idea. thinking he’d get himself hurt, or worse, killed. The dream was temporarily crushed, but as food became harder and harder to come by, his folks begrudgingly accepted. He enlisted right away, did his basic training, and was away on his adventurous new life! …Or so he thought. It was nothing but 5 years of standing guard, monthly patrols of the countryside, and training drills. There was the occasional brawl, sure, but the whole ordeal left a lot to be desired. The stipends weren’t great either. He was barely able to send any money home. It was enough to live on, but he wanted his household to thrive.

After his military service, he used his savings to buy all of his military-issue equipment from The Quartermaster and set out on the journey he’s waited his whole life for!
