Hullo, I hail from a city called Praag. i was a foundling, who was taken in by a blind lady with four other orphans of a similar size to myself. At first they resented the extra mouth that had to be fed, they called me names because i was a bit of a wierd shade of blue, they often played tricks on me because i was so slow to catch on. The first time i saw any hint of friendship was after a time when we were gathering berries near the small river that ran nearby.
We all took turns standing on each others shoulders to reach the fruit high in the trees, i seemed to be able to be still longer than the others, so i was on the bottom most of the time, after a while there was a snuffling noise in shrubbery nearby, and scratchy sounds from the root of hour tree, i could smell and hear this clearly, while the others could not. so one by one i hoisted them into the tree, the tree started to shake and seemed to sink lower to the ground, the skittering noises got louder and the smell was getting intense, the tree took another lurch and sank further into the ground, the others were starting to scream so i grabbed one and carried him to another tree, i did the same to the second, on the way to get the third i saw a grotesque creature that looked for all the world like a giant rat, i ran to the tree in time to see a hole appearing at the base, i grabbed the third child and , with strength i never knew i had, threw him to the other tree, i did this to the last child just before the whole tree fell into the earth up to its thinnest branches.
out of the hole more of these creatures came, i was overcome with a wierd lust for fighting and started to grab at the creatures, biting and ripping, slashing at them, grabbing them, pulling heads and limbs off with my bare hands and teeth, all the while bellowing in a voice i did not recognise as my own........
(editor)- this epic description of battle carried on for 2 more pages, i have abridged the rest to save those of more delicate minds.
after a while of feeding savagely i could hear/smell something new...
a weird bald thing, that looked for all the world to be human strolled into the clearing....
he killed the animals that were still moving and told us all to get on the cart nearby....
every few years he would show up again....
when i had grown to be obviously different to everyone else and had started to cause grief and trouble to my now ancient "mother" the man who called himself "Pushbloke" said he had a place where i could be happy.....
I now know what i am...
I have been raised to be able to read and write and respect those who are my freinds, and to be wary of those who are not,,,,,,
I am now a Bloodbowl addict, it gives me the same rush i had whilst in battle, and means i can afford to study and be alone when i am not playing....
I love this game....
