He is not particularly bright or witty and rarely (if ever) understands more than the simplest forms of humour. When it comes to social interactions, he tends to talk nervously and swiftly in his own language as if not able to process that not everyone else speaks it. Even so, he is characterised by his infinite amount of courage and endless cheer even in the face of danger and adversity. This, in the past, has been taken advantage of. Lennart is gullible, believing in old wives tales and the craziest of superstitions as devoutly as he follows the path of a Finnish mage. [b][u]BACKGROUND:[/u][/b] - Born on a small island on Lake Saimaa only recently cleansed, Lennart was the oldest of the settlers' children. Deaf in one ear, he often had difficulties learning even his own language, if only because few people found the time from their busy routine of fishing and forestry to teach him. His own mother was illiterate as he is, a Norwegian who stayed on land only long enough to give birth to him before escaping to adventure and his father was a Finnish man who sought only peace and safety in Keuruu and didn't see fit to take his son with him. - He quickly fell into a routine of practical work and training in trade skills his village could use (sewing, fishing, scouting, sailing) and spent so much time alone that his ability to see spirits was not fully realised until he was twelve years old. By then, it had started to manifest as incomplete attempts at [i]runo[/i]. It was determined that he would be sent to a neighbouring island to apprentice under a senior mage there; however, he had been there for only a month when his previous home was ravaged by the rash sickness as few were immune. - The news brought Lennart great sadness and he threw himself into meditation and hoped to see the spirits, to guide them into the afterlife. At 17, he enlisted in the military despite his master's fervent belief that he was too soft and would immediately die just from setting foot off the islands. His lack of social skills and unhardened nature gained him few allies but with his sharp eyesight and abilities as a [i]noita[/i] he was, at the very least, acknowledged as useful. His only friends, it appeared, were the Gods themselves.
