[b][u]Motivation:[/u][/b] The joy of discovery! [b][u]Biography:[/u][/b] Tanz (tants) is a disenfranchised youth with nothing to lose and the world to gain. He was born into a family of metalworkers in Sabiland before the conquest. The formative years of his youth were spent helping his father out around the shop, fetching and stoking the fires and quenching steel... The old man's reasoning was that if he was old enough to lift a hammer and work the bellows, he was old enough to work the forge! ...Oh, sure, it was dangerous for a child. He got hurt sometimes, but his father said it was good for him! As much as Tanze liked helping his father on the forge, it wasn't the life for him. He was sent away at a young age to Schwarzenburg to study magic. At first, it was an awful experience. He was rejected from both the academy and the clergy the first season. When he failed the entrance exam at Schwarzenburg Academy the second time, he found himself at a loss - broke now, a three day journey from home (the furthest he'd ever been!) and faced with failure. A couple of days later he was found slumped in the rain on the steps of the same chapel that had turned him away. The Seer there fed him, promised him shelter for the night, and quietly watched his behavior. The next day, he didn't leave. Feuertanz was put to work a little after first light. First he swept the floors, then he played gopher for the Speaker for a couple of hours - fetching this, or that, and then he was given a little silver candelabra on a chain of gold. His studies would begin at sunset. [i][b]Skills/Abilities:[/b][/i] His greatest skill is his ability to purge disease poison from another's body, close bleeding wounds, and encourage the regeneration of damaged tissue. He can't instantly cure an injury, but he can help set a patient on a strong road to recovery with a mixture of magic and mundane tinctures. As must be expected, he also has a decent understanding of how to work metal. Oh, and he can read and write both in common and in German. If necessary, it's also very possible that Feuertanz will turn his cleansing fire on an aggressor... [b][u]Personal Effects:[/u][/b] A golden ring given by his father, a silver candelabra given by the Eye of Anhara, and a pocket-sized book of Anhara. [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Fuertanzen follows the teachings of Anhara, the spirit of light. It's a teaching that embraces passion and energy, that strength comes from the heart.
