Character Information

Born in the sun-drenched regions of Serpent's Gulch, Styvus was captivated by nature from an early age. His parents, simple farmers, illustrated the importance of respecting the wild and living in harmony with it. Despite their humble lifestyle, they taught him the wonders of wildlife. He grew especially fond of the larger creatures inhabiting the nearby forests and often sneaked out to observe them. After one fateful encounter with a giant bear, which he comically attempted to wrestle while explaining its behavior to his imaginary audience, he knew his destiny was to embrace the life of a Druid. He has since dedicated his existence to exploring the vast wilderness, pursuing the largest creatures possible, showcasing their majestic behavior through passionate narration for the amusement of fellow adventurers while sharing wholesome snacks for both the creatures and his companions. Styvus understands that nature can teach incredible lessons and he aims to bridge the gap between adventurers and the wild, all through his humorous and carefree approach to wildlife.
