[/hider] Background: It was strange growing up for Lorek, as he was the only one of his specific species he would see for miles. He was a typical orphan story, or at least he thought. He assumed his parents found him undesirable or couldn't keep him, so they dropped him off in front of some random house on Gran Pulse, hoping the people there would take him in. Fortunately, they did, and raised Lorek as their own. The eldery couple lived in one of the many rural villages that were scattered across Cocoon and he lived a peaceful, uneventful life until he outlived his adopted parents and became 25, still relatively young for a moogle. No longer tied down to the village, he went out to explore for the legendary Moogle Village to try and seek out his own kind. As he traveled the dangerous world of Gran Pulse, he learned various black magic spells and became proficient in using them. He learned them from the various Cie'th stones all around the land of Gran Pulse. He has spent three years searching for Moogle Village on Gran Pulse, but has still yet to find it. Jail-breaks were never so fun! [/center]
