Biography
Spoiler:
Born on a farmstead, Micheal has been working all of his life on his family's farm. His family was poor, but they were happy, he had one older brother, four younger brothers, and the youngest of his family, his sister. They all lived in a strange house in the country, on a farm, Micheal mostly found it boring there. Once he came of age he joined the military, his service was long and boring. After getting out he joined the Imperia guard to keep himself afloat. Though he stopped a few crimes here and there, but he got put in the ass-end of the job, literally, he guarded the stables and occasionally fed the animals and cleaned up droppings due to stable workers not showing up. He got into a fistfight at one point from a man who was trying to steal a horse, forgetting that he couldn't get through the gate. Micheal had trouble taking down this thief due to his speed, but eventually did it. His friends occasionally joked about his red hair. And he certainly joked back.
The rest of his job was boring, the stables had a very bad stench like someone had died, though he shrugged it off and got used to it, thinking it just just a big pile of horse crap the stable workers failed to get rid of properly. One day when the workers didn't show up, Micheal had went into water the horses, though the stench was particularly bad today he thought, he sniffed around and found an undisturbed pile of hay, the horses didn't seem to go near it, it had a foul stench, and he began to look through it to find what he believed to be a dead animal trampled under foot, though it wasn't, and to his surprise it was a body... When he had alerted fellow guards, he was the first to take the blame by the mans family, though it was quickly realized and proven that the stable workers had done it. They had done it out of anger, they had lost a card game to the man, and when he came to get his horse, they shoved a dirty sock into his mouth and beat him with large rocks, then hid him in the hay.
Though after this his job was as boring as ever, yet on one particuarly boring night when everyone was asleep, Micheal, on his day off, slept well, though when screams had came from streets, he quickly got up, ran to his window, and gasped, when the guard horn blew, the signal for them to rally, he rushed over to his armor stand, before a large bang was heard on the door, something was breaking through, he grabbed his sword and got out through the back window into the alleys. He made his way around the alleys before crawling into a sewer passage, particularly smelly... Though he had gotten use to the smell of poop. He moved through the sewers and made his way around, peeking out occasionally.
Though when he saw, from quite a ways away, that the castle had been overran, he made his way through until finding his way out, and to the aqueducts. He swam as best as he could, before coming out, outside of the city! He had lost his sword on the swim out, and slumped against the dark ground, panting as the city burned. Realizing he had to move, he stood up. Sopping wet and tired, he made it as far as he could before collasping.
He woke up the next morning in wet dew grass, he didn't know where he was, but immediately got up made his way out of that part of the forest, after wiping some bugs off. He made his way to a small refugee camp, was informed, and followed them to Surna with a gut-wrenching feeling, his house, his friends, they were all gone... Days later he would be in Surna.

by becoming part of the surnan guard you piss the occitanians off
that's like saying "i'll go jump in the lake naked; without getting wet!"
other than an inevitable and hasty death, there's nothing wrong with this.

Denied.
Anyhow! An ordinary guy who's ridden horses and practiced swords and blacksmithing and stuffs. Nothing to complain about really, unless I missed something which would not be the first time due to mere perfunctory examination. Acception.
