His father being the second in command for the most powerful gang in the city,
Shantu grew up in a lavish like environment: all he knew from a young age was
stolen luxury and high status built from fear. A slave for every wish, an indulgence for
every whim: he never had to struggle for much of anything.
 
And he hated it.
 
As a teen he struggled against his family, trying to escape the palace that he later
found was once owned by a local noble that his father had murdered. He rarely
succeeded in sneaking out and whenever he was caught his father severely punished him.
Shantu had a taste for music. Not for creating it, his people lacked any sort of creativity
due to a long-ago curse, but he loved to listen and even more so loved to mimic what he
heard.
 
He needed out of the crime-filled life his father lived. He wanted a challenge for himself,
more than simple thievery.
And so, after weeks of planning, he finally broke out, heading off in a direction he knew
only was away from his father's luxury. He earned his meals and places to sleep by
playing the music he learned to copy. Eventually, he found himself at a faraway temple
and, after deciding this was the challenge he sought, trained there to become a monk.
There they taught him to control his body and his mind and to defy all of the comforts he
always had and hated.
 
After a couple of years of training, his hunger for the challenge was alive but focussed into
internal calamity and contemplation.
 
Recently, however, his focus had been waning. He began to become increasingly
distraught. Something just wasn't right.
 
The longer time went on, the more he tried to understand what was wrong. He felt
he couldn't let go of his past.
 
He had hated the comfort that his father had forged off the backs of innocents, this he
knew, and he loved to be challenged. He was still accustomed to his new lifestyle
as a monk, but his efforts in connecting to divinity left him wanting. He wanted riches.
He wanted status.
 
He wanted to be powerful, much like the father he hated.
 
He tried to resist this wanting, but he felt that there was little he could do to stop it. He
left the temple and decided he would follow his desire to overcome this new and great
internal challenge. No matter where it took him or what it would cost.

They journey to the other city

by Shantu

Well I went to try and make some money and got like three copper, then I was told to get to the ship so I packed up and ran that way. Once I got to the docks I saw our ship had already left so I quickly swam to it and climbed aboard. On our way to the other city what looked to be a guard ship got pulled under by a whirlpool. But other than that nothing significant happened on the boat ride there. Once we got to there we tried changing side which I don’t think went over very well but we also went on a shopping spree and got some pretty cool stuff
