==Backstory==
His family were rich merchants and newly minted nobles in [insert relevant kingdom here]. His older brother, Hollis, started a rebellion against the King on the night Gettis' younger sister, Imhed, was being presented at court. 

The presentation ball became known as "The Bloodletter's Ball". Hollis and his fellow rebels came within a hair'd breadth of killing the King. In the days after the ball, Hollis' and Gettis' parents threw in with Hollis' rebellion. 

When the king's forces rallied and routed the initial rebellion, the Oataheir family fled. Gettis was captured, and despite taking no personal actions against the King, was put in prison as a traitor.

Getti's parents and sister fled, and have since disappeared into hiding from the King's agents, who hunt them to this day. Hollis has continued to fight a guerrilla rebellion against the King. In so doing, Hollis has gained the moniker "Hollis the Red" for his penchant for painting his shield red with the blood of fallen enemies.

Gettis has severed a ten year stint, and was freed about a year ago. While in prison he received martial/magical training from one of the other prisoners, and built up contacts in the criminal community. Over the past year, he's been doing light cons an d some mercenary work for criminals, while searching for his sister and parents. 

He's come to Freeport because he's got a lead on getting in touch with his family.


==GM Questions==
:Pick another PC (one of your teammates). Tell me a rumor or belief your people have about their race/culture/nation.
::Sea Elves are naught but High Elves who died at sea, returned from the briny deep. They are not to be trifled with, as they can curse others to experience the pain of drowning in the sea.

:Tell me about a deity, spirit, or legendary creature your people either worship or fear.
::Gettis and his family venerate Trithereon, the god of Individuality, Liberty, Retribution, Ambition and Self-Defense. His holy symbol is the Rune of Pursuit, a triskelion. They dedicated themselves to Trithereon in his aspect as the god of Ambition. His rites include an annual individual quest (like a modern day scavenger hunt with added religious incantations and rituals) that starts with a 24 hour waking fast - with Trithereon granting a vision of the items to be acquired during the proceeding week to complete the quest.

:Tell me something you would compromise your morals to achieve (or at least consider doing so).
::Gettis would do anything to see his younger sister again, and likely the same to see his parents. He's conflicted about whether to blame his brother for his capture and imprisonment and his family's disappearance. Still, he'd likely throw out his principles for a chance to confront Hollis about it (confront as in argue / emotionally confront, not attempt to hurt/kill his brother).

:Tell me a superstition or unfounded belief that you possess.
::Gettis believes that accepting help from a stranger (e.g. before formal introductions are made) will bring bad luck down on the recipient of such help.
