Talk:Four

Drafting Background Stuff

My original thinking was that his name was actually "Fourteenth" (Rindherder now, I guess) because he was just the 14th babe to his parents when they were killed (by, like, scrag trolls or something). At age 14, he finally got himself promoted all the way to fourteenth-hand on a 20 halfling boat rotating crew, which fit him fine.... until 2 years later, 10 of his mates died and he got promoted. From then on everyone just called him "Four" because that was his new rank and also whenever they said "teenth" it reminded them about all of their dead friends and family. Feeling truly disconnected from his past, he shortly thereafter took up with Ma Sparrow who was kind enough to give him a new family. He longs for the waters, but he's not quite sure he's ready. But he's fiercely defensive of his new family members and will do anything to keep them safe. - Mattie (talk)
