Name: Rankon Tiller
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance:
Personality: Once a rather reserved child, Rankon's experiences have led him to develop confidence and leadership skills. The hard work he grew up with have taught him determination and patience, as no crop could grow without these things. His family and home are everything to him making him warm and trusting, though worry for his brother sometimes keeps him awake during the night. Rankon's primary motivation is the safety and survival of his home, though he is not quick to violence. The only combat he has seen is against the occasional drunk or creature in the mountains. He takes much time to think before he speaks, which has led some outsiders to incorrectly believe he is unintelligent, a fact Rankon has used to his advantage when it comes to bartering his crops.
Bio: Rankon was born in a rather secluded mountain village, though not secluded enough from the Elemental King's soldiers and taxmen, into a family of farmers. The birth was difficult as a large earthquake shook the mountain the night he was born causing a lot of damage to the village, though oddly no actual injuries besides minor bruising. As he grew, his parents and elder brother noticed that their son's rather odd abilities were growing in strength and magnitude. They knew nothing of the prophecy, but knew that children with abilities were likely to be taken away by the Elemental King's men and never seen again. Rankon was instructed to never use his powers again and for a time this was enough.
When Rankon was 14 and his brother, 19, the Elemental King's men came to the village collecting both taxes and the young men and women of the village to serve the Elemental King in his army as foot soldiers. Rankon never saw or heard from his brother again, and thinks of him constantly. This left the village with no younger inhabitants to help with all the work that needed to be done. Faced with the threat of starvation for the coming winter months, His Parents and the village elders turned to Rankon for help. It was a slow process, having repressed his abilities for so long, Rankon found they were slow to develop now when he needed them. But as the winter passed and they survived due to his efforts, his confidence and abilities grew and te trust that the village placed in him grew with it.
Now the village has grown rich in resources, if not coin, as Rankon has taken on the responsibilities of chief farmer working longer and harder than anyone else, thanks to his abilities. The village conceals their wealth and younger population from the King's men with a complex series of tunnels made under the village hidden from the eye of the surface. These tunnels have also led to increased mining availability. Rankon knows little beyond the boundaries of his mountain home, beyond the tales of passing merchants and still nothing of the prophecy.
