Even as a young sapling, Thombraead'allbush was drawn to blood bowl. At the young age of 74 years, he planted his roots at the edge of the dark woods (which just happened to be less than 20 yards from the a blood bowl pitch). From there he watched the children species (for that is what the trees call humans, orcs, and the like) pummel each other in the name of victory.
20 winters after laying his roots, a great thunderstorm roared over the woods. Many trees lost their lives as lightning split trunk and branch. Thombraead'allbush suffered his own injuries: A javelin of electricity spiked straight through his body. Thombraead'allbush's inner core was damaged by the lightning blast; a wound that guaranteed a slow, but steady death.
In the days that followed, Thombraead'allbush staggered from the woods and collapsed just beside the bleachers. His roots found soil and slowly he begin to drink the sun again. He would never heal, but his sense were partially returning. Unlike the ancients, Thombraead'allbush knew he would have to live a full life in a short time. He would never know the pleasure of slow growth over several centuries.
Before his roots could take deep hold again, Thombraead'allbush started to move again. If he only had limited time left, then he knew how he wanted to spend it. Thombraead'allbush would enjoy a hot summer of blood bowl glory before the long winter of death.
Thombraead'allbush, called "Thom Bush" by those who cannot pronounce his true name, is currently playing for a newly formed wood elf blood bowl team that has taken up residence in the Sticky Cake League. Thom Bush's lightning burned bark gives him the appearance of a much older tree; hence, many of the elves (hundreds of years his senior) have taken to calling him "Old" Thom Bush. Most estimate his age at well over 3,000 years.
