[b]Background:[/b] Iver was born to simple parents; his father was a tailor and his mother was a simple housewife who helped run the shop his father founded. He grew up in a relatively normal household until the age of ten when his father was drafted into the military and killed on the frontlines as another nameless footsoldier. After this turn of events, Iver’s mother attempted to run the shop herself with little success. Iver tried to help her out as best he could by being a courier, but he was paid very little for his work. Iver continued his work until the age of fifteen. He had saved a small bit of his pay ever so often throughout his work until he saved up enough to buy a sword for himself. After he bought the sword, Iver enlisted in the city guard. With his new job, he was able to provide better for his mother and have a sense of purpose. With his new job came more money and with more money, Iver was able to hire tutors to teach him the subtle arts of politics and map reading. He caught on and learned quickly, rapidly becoming a well spoken young man with a desire to travel, but he was held back by his mother needing his aid. Iver was freed of his burden, however, at the age of nineteen when his mother died of disease. After mourning her, he took what he had and set out on his travels, which proved to be more expensive than he first thought. After his money ran out, Iver was effectively stranded at The Alabaster City when the Fifth Echelon came to town and began recruiting. [b]Skills:[/b] Iver is adeptly skilled in fighting with his longsword, which has a handle longer than normal to give him more reach and flexibility in battle. He is also adept in throwing knives, which he has five of strapped to his side. Iver’s non-combat oriented skills consist of tracking people and animals as well as diplomacy and map reading if the situation should ever arise. [b]Reason for joining the Fifth Echelon:[/b] Money and the prospect of adventure.
