=Avatar Backstory:

The Atrivahns were an old noble family… their money and influence may have faded over the years, indeed they were nobles only in name at this point. Their history and their pride however… those were things the Atrivahns wouldn’t let die.

Their father Bellicose was doing everything he could to rebuild his heritage. For his firstborn child, the serious Cedric, Bellicose ensured he was trained in finance and business to grow the families holdings and fortune. The secondborn, the fiery Myra, seemed destined for the army. Bellicose purchased her a commission in the hopes she’d bring glory to the house. For his thirdborn, his favorite daughter Talise, he sent to join the church as a testament to his own faith. Allistar was his youngest and had a way with people. Bellicose bemoaned his lack of funds, lest he set up Allistar as a courtier to curry favor and make alliances. Instead he was sent to a small magic academy with the vague hope that he could make something of himself.

Allistar quickly realized that he didn’t have the natural talent that many of the students had, nor did he really have the inclination to study all day. If he’d had his way he’d be serving in the Army under his sister Myra. There were a few local Magus at the academy, and the melding of the martial and arcane arts seemed to only way he’d get to the battlefield.

A few years later, Allistar Attrivahn was a journeyman Magus and set to leave the academy to prove himself…

Player Bio:

A high school student and only child in middle America, he discovered MMO’s with during the launch of a major franchise. He was in a guild with his friends and classmates when he won a loot roll a more popular kid wanted. They claimed that he stole it, and since they couldn’t actually take it from him, they trashed his name and did everything they could to ruin his virtual life. Mark rerolled on a new server but his favorite Usernames had already been dragged through the mud. He linked up with a few small guilds over the next couple of years, but they typically fell apart in a few months.

Mark resigned himself to playing the widely social game as a solo… knocking out group quests when they were suitably below his level or testing his luck with pick up groups, adapting his play-style to fit the situation at hand.

Mark always took his games seriously and preferred to play on RP designated servers. He loved reading about the lore and went out of his way to describe his avatar’s place in it, creating relationships and conversations in his head when the game’s script wasn’t immersive enough.

The VIP invite to TotBL seemed like a dream come true. A new game, a chance to start over, and an auto-grouping feature that would like him up with other players. Since this wasn’t an MMO, the other players would have to work with him to complete the game, right?
