Winter

Weather
The first great snowfall of a few days prior has coated the lands in a shining white that many would say is beauty embodied. The trees glimmer and chime with ice on their branches, and the evergreens are more vibrant and lively looking than at any other time in the year. The skies are cloudless, and with nothing to insulate the earth, temperatures drop low enough to be dangerous for long amounts of exposure at night.

The Battle in Belfhaste Harbor is about to commence; all interested parties should report post-haste

The ice that has taken over the water has finally begun to thin; once it has melted entirely, normal naval activity can resume, as most ships are incapable of traversing such dangerous obstacles as enormous hull-piercing shards of ice. Most ships...

( I will expand and fill in both my Personality and Biography greatly during my journey :))
Personality:
Tom's dominating aspects of personality are temperance, calmness and strong sense of justice.
Tom has grown to hate the constant antithesis of good and evil in the human society, and escapes
this concept to the morally neutral ground of wild nature. He loves to live his life on the laws of the
animal kingdom, where the only the fittest survive. He has been doing a good job at it, at least for the time being.
However, as a contrast to his way of life, his upbringing has left him with the need and desire to protect those
who are weaker and in need. He justifies this by thinking that destroying those who are not able to fend for themselves
is not strength, but blind brutality. So coming to conclusion that, by helping other he will become stronger himself
thus preparing him to meet and overcome against even stronger obstacles in his life.

Biography: Originating from a family of priests, Tom had a very strict, but educational childhood.
He learned good manners and respect for life at an early age, and has never been what one would call a "bad seed."
However, at the brink of his adulthood, Tom was filled with the desire to pursue his life as he sees fit for himself,
and not to travel down the road that had already been built for him. Such a life would only lead to an existence
filled with predetermined boredom. No, he wants to raise his sword and cut his own path. So, inevitably, one
day he left his family and the comfortable environment of his growth milieu, gave up the honored family name and
just ran. Ran as far as he could. He ended up running all the way to the Ancient Forest of Aer, where he eventually decided
to stay for the time being. There, he met with an old sage (cliché!), whom he became an apprentice.
The sage taught him to the ways of the wild and also shed some light to the wonders and mysteries in this world,
but at all times sustaining a certain veil of mystery.
His words and teachings still echo in the mind of young and confused Tom.

Now, he has decided to leave the forest and once again pursue the reason for his existence.

RP Sample: Once again, Tom has arrived to the edge of the forest Aer. He is feeling anxious, as soon he will
see again the world of men. How did it smell like, what here all those human constructions and inventions like?
How did flat, rocky road feel like under one's feet? So many things he held normal and commonplace before, had now turned into
faded memories. It seems that the time he spent in the forest had been longer than what he thought, as the mere sight of a caravan
startled him. A wooden contraption on four rickety wheels felt like threatening monster.

"It used to be just a wagon, Tom. Collect yourself." Tom thought to himself, trying to recollect his former
world of ideas and concepts. He wasn't going to lose confidence right at the beginning, his will to mover forward
overcame him, and he bravely started towards the thing. He also noticed several humans around the caravan, some of them
dressed in plain tan and brown clothes, while the other were wearing ominously crimson clothes.Some of them were screaming,
and a few of them had even drawn weapons.

Getting closer, Tom started to realize what the commotion was all about. It was a common bandit raid, however the bandit's
choice of target seemed a bit unusual. Normally bandit's would leave such plain-looking carriages alone, knowing that
the loot from such a poor-looking group would not compensate for the hassle of robbing it.

"Guess it's rough times for bandits, too." Tom readied his bow, and slowly crept closer to the scene.

He could now distinguish it to be a woman, little girl and a man being robbed by three male bandits. No pokémon seemed to
be present. The man protecting the rest of supposed his family was holding a sword against the three bandits, and all four of them
seemed tense and ready to leap against each other.

"Give us your women, and we might let you live!" One of the bandits grunted.
He was a bit bigger and more heavily built than the other two.Tom understood this as a sign of leadership. If he'd
come down, the other two would probably lose their will to fight. This was common knowledge in fighting gregarious pokémon.
And the same laws of nature usually apply to humans.

Tom took aim at the supposed leader's chest, but decided to hold the arrow a bit longer. He didn't want to be mistaken
about the commotion folding before him.

"D-d-don't you touch them! We have nothing! L-leave us!" the lone man stuttered, desperately trying to sound pleading.
Such act of mental submission only feed the anger of such lowly bandits. All three of them burst to laughter.

"We will leave you, don't you worry about that! But only after you're all DEAD!" The biggest of the bandits yelled, and chuckled
at his own poor joke.

Tom noticed that both the woman and the little girl were crying out of fear and helplessness. Realizing this, Tom felt his heart wrench.
He just couldn't bear to think what'd happen after the man would fall. Yes, the family had been stupid to travel in such a defenseless
state, and in the world of animals such a mistake would be punished with falling to prey for stronger species.
But how much Tom tried to act "like the wild" as his mentor had told him, his inner hero acted before he could think,
and his arrow left his bow with high "swish!".

The arrow found his target, and hit the commanding ruffian right in the middle of his chest. The big man took it with a loud roar, and fell
on his back from the sudden impact and pain. The arrow had hit deep, but due to the man's crimson clothing, there was no sign of blood.
The two other bandits were also startled, and look at Tom's general direction in search for the shooter. Tom quickly kneeled down in to the
cover of the lush foliage, and saw how the family man took advantage of the sudden help and leaped at one of the bandits.
His sword sunk deep in to the stomach of the man in crimson, and with a painful cry he kneeled to the ground, barely hanging on to life
with the sword still stuck in him.

The one remaining bandit seemed to take a quick assessment of the situation and decided to favor his life over his false pride as a bandit.
So he ran away. Fast. While screaming like a piglet.

-----------------------------------

Moments later, as the situation had calmed down and the two bandits were lying on the ground in pain and motionless, Tom decided to step out
of the forest cover and into the open road. This made him feel a bit uneasy, but he wanted to properly meet with people he saved.

When the now calmed down, but still a bit shaken family saw the wild-looking bowman coming out of the forest, they knew immediately who he was.
The man whose arrow had saved them. The head of the family came to him first, and took a deep bow.

"Thank you. You saved our lives!" He sounded shaken, but relieved. He ordered the other two family members to quickly get ready to leave again.
He took a quick glance at the two figures lying on the ground, and turned to Tom.

"I don't know what to do with those two... I'm a farmer, not a killer..!" He moaned, and looked at Tom hopefully.
"Do not worry, I'll take care of them. Their end shall be quick. Of course, womenfolk should not bear witness to such an act."
Tom replied, now starting to remember nuances of proper dialogue.

The man nodded silently, and went back to his wagon. From there, he took out a small chest, took it in his arms and carried it back to the
archer who had saved him.

"Here, as a payment for that blessed shot." The man said awkwardly, and nodded lightly. Tom responded to the nod with a light wave of his hand, and
gestured towards the wagon and the road before.

"I'll accept your reward. But now you should go." Tom stated forcibly.

The man nodded once more, dusted his ragged, brown clothing, turned on his heelf and started towards the rest of his family.

As the cart had moved away from him for quite a while, Tom saw as the little girl stood up on her mother's lap and shouted "THANK YOU MR. ARCHER!" as loud as she could, then proceeding wave at him vigorously for as long as she could still see Tom.

Tom could almost feel his own heart warm up and grow larger. He felt like he had done something that he could be proud of in the future.

"It's moments like this which will make me stronger!" Tom mentally shouted at himself.

Good or bad, holy or evil, Tom will do what his heart will tell him to do.


-------------------------

The family and their wagon disappearing to the horizon, and the two bandits given their final rest, Tom finally had time to open up the chest and take a look
at it's contents more carefully....
