Mikhael was an orphan. His parents killed when he was just 2 by bandits. He grew up on the streets or Redwood, a medium sized but busy market town. Mikhael had dark brown hair and blue eyes with a green hue. He was a small boy when he was young but had grown into a tall man of 6"3 and had an impressive, imposing physique. He had grown up with his friend Shay. Shay was blonde, had blue eyes and was a fairly tall girl. Now a young woman with a petite yet curvaceous frame. Shay's mother Freya often took pity on Mikhael, he would eat from their table and get warmth from the fire. Shay's Father Rodrey was a battle hardened man and no town blacksmith. He took Mikhael on as his apprentice when he was just 8 years old. Freya was a woman of 45 and stood at 5"4, she looked like a slightly older version of Shay. Blonde, Blue eyes but a more curvaceous frame and larger bust the face of a much younger woman. Mikhael now a man of 25 was somewhat of a hero in town, he fought bandits with hatred and protected the townsfolk with some of the guards from most perils be it bandits (Whom he loathed), and creatures alike. Shay also 25 was betrothed to be wed to the town bard Ogmund. Mikhael was too busy travelling the land seeking materials for Rodrey to focus on Maidens.
Rodrey was 50, he was having a secret affair with a barmaid named Helga. She was 32 and had no shame. Mikhael knew of this and it burned him inside to know Rodrey was causing Freya pain. Freya was the only mother figure he had known, Though he did not see her as a replacement.
One day Mikhael had returned to Redwood after collecting material he would sell to Rodrey. He returned to his own small house to wash before He stopped at their house hoping to catch up with Shay. He Knocked
Freya answered.
"Hello Mikhael. You've been gone almost 5 days, we had grown worried." Said Freya with what appeared to be relief.
"Ahh you need not worry. I am more than a match for the wilds. Is Shay home?" Mikhael inquired.
"I know you are Mikhael but worry cannot be helped. I'm afraid Shay is out walking with Ogmund." said Freya
"Oh ok" Replied Mikhael, slightly disappointed. "I have these materials for Rodrey may i leave them here?" Asked Mikhael politely.
"Of course! Please come in and i'll fix you something warm to eat." Freya said as she moved to allow him entry.
