Ventura Viridian

Ventura Viridian

Born one half(ling) of a whole, Ventura and his twin sister were raised by the very village they were born in, out in the lusher outskirts of the Golden Shores. Life was good and peaceful for Ven and his kin until on fateful day leading to an uncontrolled mana storm wiping all but himself out.
Now, a couple of years since the traumatic event, the young man has turned to the shadier sides of life simply doing what he can to get by, find his own purpose in this world...and hopefully find his twin sister Vaenea; the only living connection he still has to his happier days...

Personal history

Though Ventura spent a majority of his life joined at the hip with his twin sister Vaenera, the halfling wasn't always as put together as he may have seemed. Despite his boisterous and bold persona, Ventura had always been eager to impress. Constantly fearing he was living within the impressive shadow his sister constantly seemed to cast, he struggled to find exactly where he belonged that she did not. And when Vaenera finally left on her own journey, that desire only grew more...
In his early adult years, Ventura would go on to try several professions and endeavors both inside and out of the village. Most...to no great avail. But fueled by that same sister that unintentionally put that anxiousness into his heart, he would continue to one day show not just her, but everyone that he was capable of something amazing! That was...until the storm.
By some freak chance, a mana storm managed to bring ruin to the village and all of its inhabitants. Ventura did his best to survive, and managed to just barely do so, but ended up alone with nothing more than a magical wasteland and a single book containing the secrets of his home and people...or at least what he assumes to be so.
Nowadays, he takes to traveling and freelance work, finding his sneaky skills, short stature, and generally charming ways quite effective in smuggling rings, both of dubious intent and non. Making do and working through his grief day by day, hoping to one day crack the last codes of his people and find himself in the process.

Findale Springs: A good-hearted childhood friend of Ventura's, growing up to become a town guard. Simple minded yet dutiful in protecting his village, when Ventura's shadier work crossed the line and forced the two to face off against each other, Ventura dispatched his friend swiftly...or so he thought.
Bula: A former Orcish crewmate upon one of several smuggling crews Ventura sailed with. The hired muscle of the group was initially annoyed with Ventura, but quickly grew to respect and ultimately fall for his charming ways. However, upon denial of her confession to him, Bula now seeks to force Ventura's opinion to change the only way she knows how; through combat!!!
