[b]Grun[/b]
   Grun is an ancient dwarf, stolen in his infant years by a human in his younger twenties, searching for fortune and glory. In the land Grun comes from, dwarfs had hidden themselves away deep underground, lost in the ruins of their ancestors. Very few people knew they still lived, and even fewer had the luck of meeting one.
   After Grun was stolen from his home, his new 'father' lied to him, saying he was found abandoned, rather than stolen. His father was enthralled by the technologies of the ancient past, and he knew the dwarfs had created some of the best technologies, far more fathomable than anything at the time. He had not been very successful in reengineering the ancient technologies, so his discovery of Grun had given him hope in solving the ancient mysteries.
   As fate would have it, Grun disliked the idea of meddling with gears and levers. He didn't know what he liked doing, he just knew he didn't like doing what his father had spent his entire life's work on. His father tried convincing him many times over the years of him growing up, giving him broken 'toys' that had to first be repaired. Grun would simply look at it, think about how it works for awhile, then toss it aside.
   After many years of fruitless attempts of unlocking the mysteries of the dwarfs, Grun's father finally had given up. He knew his 'son' would never budge while he was alive... not at least, without a big push to set him in motion. Grun was nearing his older forties, and his father nearing seventy. Grun's father decided upon a plan, to fake his own death to spark Grun to take up his work after him. The day before his faked death, he gave his most prized possession, an ancient dwarvern tank, for Grun to attempt to repair. Of course, Grun wasn't interested.
   After Grun's father had 'passed away', he had felt sorry for never having connected with his father, so he took it upon himself to live his wishes by doing as he had always wished. Fixing things. Over the course of several more years, Grun fixed up the tank, along with many other projects laying around the house.
   Grun eventually found it hard to sit around the house, so he decided to go on a vacation to the Character Park, several days away with the ride of his mighty tank. How exactly he came to know of this mystical place, with a magical portal leading to it, is not important. All is that he would soon find it, and continue his life in hopefully new light.
