1.) Please name a member of your character's family, extended family, or a family friend that they looked up to growing up. Give us one paragraph on who they were and why the character admired them.
Tarik never really had much of a role-model within his family or family friends. As a young peasant there wasn't much to look forward to. Everyone he knew farmed, day in and day out. As an apprentice Tarik's experiences were further curtailed. Tarik respected his master, but his master had chosen a self-restrictive life, mostly mending farm implements in exchange for food. Indeed, Tarik's first role-model came from the first book he stole as a peasant, A History of Cauldron. It was there that he learned of the heroic Sundabar Spellmason. Tarik admired that Spellmason changed the world, at least in a small way.
2.) What is your character like when drunk?
Tarik has not had many opportunities to get drunk; being busy as first a peasant, then an apprentice. Regular drinking binges are a recreation reserved for townsfolk and other well off groups. Still, he has drunk the local cider to excess at the occasional festival in Hollowsky. When drunk Tarik becomes loud, opinionated, and stubborn.
3.) Is there an object, weapon, momento, etc, that your character feels somewhat possesive of? Where did it come from, and why do they feel strongly about it?
Obviously Tarik is very possessive of his spell book. It's a simple leather cover wrapping simple parchment pages. Without it he is nearly powerless. Having just finished his apprenticeship, he is poor and unable to make a copy to store somewhere safe. The spellbook was provided to him by his master early in his training, but the spells were written by Tarik's own hand. The book represents a decade of training, months of practicing writing spells on loose parchment, and many days of painstakingly entering perfect copies into the book.
