HISTORY
Early Years: It is unknown where Stricker had come from, being an orphan from birth and left near the Blue Sect, where he excelled in any subject that interested him, much to the frustration of his foster father, who could see his adopted son's intellegence. He would hide by digging his nose into whatever piece of literature he could get his hands on or practice sparring.
- 10-14: Stricker
(pronounced Str-ICK-er) gained his nickname from his talent with any sword or knife (wooden? Confused on the weapons ban if all children are to learn swordsmanship and shooting), earning the respect of many with his talents. He grew into himself well, with a sort of kindness that he would use to be patronizing at some points to ward off any potential enemies.
-14-18: Stricker disappeared for two years at the age of fourteen, leaving behind no traces and throwing his adoptive father into a deep depression that lead to his early death. He was found half-alive and incoherent with no memory of the previous two years. After hearing about his adoptive father's death, he stopped speaking and proceeded to purposely fail his rites and disappearing into the wilderness.
- Present: Stricker became an expert of the wilderness and learned how to survive on very little, never staying in the same place longer than a month. He generally avoids other human contact, preferring to hide himself when the need arises.

NOTES
I know this isn't quite what you were looking for, but I believe Stricker would be a good addition to the story
(And yes, assume his psych condition can be debilitating at times, to balance him out). I'm taking a few leaps here, seeing as I might have skimmed
(I KNOW) your index because my attention span hasn't been great as of recently. But look at him. I am proud of this man.
(I will put up character #2, a correctly aged female by the name of Arisha, when I find where the @#%! I saved her skeleton.)
I could also use both characters, if you find that suitable. I do like the reach that has always given me.
