Contagonist: Gweririel (elf) - ENTP
Past:
Happiest moment: As a young boy, Asgrim loved to impress his parents and protect his loved ones no matter how dangerous it was or whatever his age. When he was seven, he and his brother went hunting with their father. Their father went to set a trap not far off, when a wild boar leapt up at them and Asgrim pulled his bow string just in time to injure it. Then the two of them ran off into the woods, after their father. When they were safe with their father, they went back to find the wild boar seriously injured. Asgrim was very happy that he had saved both his and his brother’s life. This created his ambition to be in the army. As his ritual of apprenticeship came, he trained hard to be a page in the castle, so that one day he might become a knight, and was chosen as the king’s page the very next year.
Dark moment: After he became a page, he began to find trouble believing in the things that the rest of the half-human’s did. A few years later he was knighted and began to take liberties with his job. Whenever he had breaks he would sneak into the library to find historical records. He wanted to know why the kingdoms had divided so long ago and never came back together to be reunited. When he was caught, his knighthood was taken away and his parents turned their backs on him, disappointed with his behavior. This causes him to hope and believe the lie he believes.
Lie he believes: If he works hard enough his parents will recognize him and love him again. If he can just prove that his intentions were noble.
Cue for the lie to be reinforced: His brother is even more saddened when he sees his brother with the band of reunited kinds. His parents are caught with him and they tell him how disappointed they are in him. His father tells him after his mother walks off crying, that they just can’t accept someone like him into their family. “Especially as you associate with that … that alien.” This only makes him more determined to believe that he can prove it to them.
Mantra he lives by: He’ll make his actions matter, and he won’t lie about his intentions whether it makes anyone happy about it or not. But whatever he does, he won’t let anyone be hurt by his words or actions.
(He believes this too) No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. - Abraham Lincoln
