Andriavio

Andriavio was born just a few minutes before his brother, Felix. His father left his mother when she got pregnant, and his mother succumbed to a fatal illness when he was five years old. Orphans, his brother and he learned to survive on the streets of Belverus. While Felix found his talents suited for the street life, Andriavio's talents lied elsewhere. Although his natural charisma was a boon when it came to distracting an unaware mark, he loved to read, to learn, and to build. A life of thievery was simply not for him. He spent so much of his time learning and reading what he could find, a local sage took notice and trained Andre in many different trades, like smithing, carpentry, and alchemy, which he later evolved into the beginnings of chemical theory. He specifically took interest in learning about the ancient lore of Atlantis and the lost technologies that once prevailed. He spent many sleepless nights learning their language and reading ancient texts.

While he enjoyed his training, curiosity and youth tugged at his bones. The mysteries of Atlantis, their magic, and their technologies pulled him to leave the city he once called home. So with his brother, Felix, and the blessings of his Master, he left the city of Belverus to where he believed he might find his first clue, or at least some friends, Tarantia.
