Name: Harry Biggins
P.o.B: Paws (but from his 3rd, grew up at British Castle in Britain)
Age: 31
Mother: Deirdre Biggins (Palace cook)
Father: Dillon Biggins (Apple tree tender)
Harry grew up in Britain, mostly at the castle but with plenty of trips to the library.
Watching both his parents work hard to make a living, Harry became convinced working hard was just not an option.
However, he also figured to be able to get away with doing as little as possible, he'd have to become clever.
To this end, his childhood was filled with learning various trades, among which are reading, fishing, cooking and tinkering.
Without realizing it as such, he worked hard to become a slacker.
At his 18th birthday, he decided it was time to leave his parental home and search a less busy life, away of Britain.
After some searching, south to Trinsic, west to Skara Brae, he ended up in Yew, a simple forest town with farms and forests.
For some time, he worked as a laborer on a farm, apprentice to a very old farmer.
For a time, all was easy enough, except for the hard work, he had not planned on.
A few months in, the old man while in bed, told Harry he was leaving him the farm as he was too old to live there.
Not much later the old man had died, leaving Harry to his own devices.
It opened up new possibilities for him, as the Yewish Militia had lucrative jobs out for diligent workers, including prestigious growth in Yew.
In his attempts to make easy money, more often then not, he failed at doing the chores the easy way, ending him up working hard to correct it.
Slowly but surely he grew in the Yewish community, first going from peasant to earning a nobility standing, which allowed several perks.
He earned many permits and grants, increasing his mobility greatly.
From time to time, he would host small markets and feasts for the Militia, he took the feedback from them as learning for large scale markets.
It was there, where he was first given the title of "Wandering Baker", a title he sincerely liked having.
While afraid of what might happen in Vesper once he got there, as the Yewish rumors were tough on the Vesperians killing Yewish where they stood,
he still found the courage in his heart to travel there and see for himself, as no one knew him, he just stated his name without his farm's location.
To his surprise, he found the residents of Vesper to be not all that different from the Yewish, although they seemed to have the same idea the other way around.
This allowed him to go back and forth on many trade deals, first with his family drink, the moonshine "Black thunder", and later with other items, foodstuffs mostly.
At one point, Anna Goodward had followed him back to Yew, and stood in the pouring rain at his farm, round trip visits grew into a strong friendship.
At some point a investor bought out Harry's farm, and before making a trip to Skara Brae, where he had found a smaller farm, Anna informed him of a farm in Vesper.
He decided to go and see it, and after some deliberation, he decided to buy it.
It was a lot cheaper than the farm he had just sold, so his fortune, which from the markets was already becoming considerable, became even bigger.
With shorter logistical lines, trade with Swaggers Inn was at an all time high, his fortune growing well.
His trade markets were becoming well known in the lands, and more people flocked to them as he advertised.
In this time the friendship between Harry and Anna grew into love, and while keeping his farm, growing all sorts of crops, he basically moved in with her during his time off.
For a few years, this went on, his life seemed like nothing could go wrong, until a day Anna gave Harry a boat, a fishing ship of the Tokuno class.
Keeping the boat tied to the shore, he would use the deck to fish from, as it left less of a mess than on shore.
One night, as he went below deck during a light wind, mostly to clean up the hold, the boat had come loose.
[OOC] ingame is a book, with that adventure locked in its pages[/OOC]
Upon returning to Vesper, he found he had changed greatly from the experience, and with Anna married to Tommy Nottinbury, he had to find his way back to his own life.
This took months, and with Anna still friended to him, finding his peace was difficult.
He took to farming diligently and stayed out of the way for some time, with the exception of Swaggers nights, when he would get drunk on many an occasion.
In recent times, with political powers shifting more to a military way, he decided it was time to move again.
In a stroke of luck, he found a farm plot in New Magincia, from where he once again tries to start up his endeavors of becoming the "Wandering Baker"......
