| Inspired by the great deeds of your mother, Grue Vance, you knew from an early age you wanted to be a Fighter. After a scant 10 years of training, you were finally ready to seek your fortune in the large, indifferent world. Your life changed one day, changed irrevocably -- and perhaps not for the better -- when you were wandering down the quaint bucolic dusty paths of the tiny farming village of Flytrap. There, you met the blacksmith's raven-haired grandfather, who gave you broad hints as to the last known location of the long-lost Emerald Shark. Recognizing the street value of such a rare treasure, you set off to find it. You were doing a nifty job but then you wandered into a room totally full of desperados, plus a wisteria slaad, which is weird because you would have figured they'd have killed each other. They made a pretty good attempt at killing you, though. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless desperados and badgers -- even a horse! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Dragon Barbarian Grimtooth, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a beartrap with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Waltermatthau and claimed your reward.
