The Backstory for the Adventuring Hobbit like being

---------------------------------------------------------
Are you ready for this... This is what I have so far...
He was just a normal teenager, living in a small town, /MMM/ it
was called, famous for its markets and had been for much of
history. He always made himself busy, even though he didn’t have
to. He longed for adventure, this small town, he felt,
diminished him and his potential. He wasn’t expecting adventure,
but it happened one day, quite unexpectedly.
He was out walking, for he was particularly fond of walking,
when he saw an old man in the street, lying, quite still. The
old man had something clutched in his hand – it was a flyer,
from the village of /NNN/ near Bournemouthshire, it was a plea,
to dispose of /VVV/ which had been roaming the lands. He
immediately backed away, for he did not want that sort of
adventure! But he couldn’t put it out of his mind. Was that what
he must do for adventure? He had decided, that night he would
leave his small town of /MMM/ and leave for /NNN/. He gathered
his belongings he wanted to bring with him. He found some
clothes to take with him on this journey – Some patched up
trousers, a comfortable T-shirt and a Jacket, he also wore a
long flowing cape as well. He found his sword and scabbard and
attached them to his belt. At last, he was ready, ready for
adventure!
He stepped outside his door, and looked back at the quaint
little cottage which he had spent his whole life in, his stomach
churned at the prospect of leaving his lovely cottage behind. He
turned back to the path ahead and walked.
He had obtained a map that would lead him to Bournemouthshire
and /NNN/ and had plotted out a route. He would have to go
through fields and woodland, across mountains and rivers, and
the journey would take approximately two weeks on foot.
Bournemouthshire was south of /MMM/ and that is the way he went.
He had only walked a few miles when he stopped. His name was on
a poster, ordering his arrest! He knew he had to leave his name
behind. He didn’t know what his new name would be, that would
come later when he actually needed a name. As he walked on, the
sign vanished, although he was not aware of this.
He walked on and came to a mighty forest. “This must be the
forest of ignotis” he thought to himself. Literally translated,
ignotis means unknown. He was not aware of this fact and
proceeded straight in to the forest. “Just follow the path
through the forest. I shall be out in no time” he said to
himself. No sooner had he said this, the path started to fade
and the canopy of the trees began to obstruct the light, it was
almost complete darkness and he knew nothing of what lay ahead
of him. He started a fire and lit a torch to help him see. The
second when the torch was lit, the fire extinguished itself. Out
of the nothingness of the forest he heard a deep booming voice
saying “do not try to burn the forest!” He looked around,
looking for whatever had made that sound, yet he could see
nothing. He continued on his route, constantly trying to look
for the path where he could make sure he was back on track. He
looked around and stumbled ever forward, thinking that if he
stayed in the same direction he would eventually find the exit.
He knew that he entered the forest from the north and that he
would get out if he went directly south. The safe path wound
through the forest, in order to avoid the forest heart, but if
he had any hope of escaping, he knew that he would have to go
straight through – even if that meant going straight through the
forest heart! Suddenly, he heard a noise, tripping over a tree
route, he fell over. He looked up, and in the distance he saw a
wolf-like creature with sharp, drooling fangs and red, burning
eyes. He didn’t know what it was and didn’t particularly want
to! He drew his sword nevertheless and proceeded forward towards
this wolf-like creature, for he couldn’t stray from his path for
even a little, for the fear of being lost.
He walked carefully towards the wolf-like creature. All of a
sudden the wolf-like creature turned and charged at him, he
raised his sword and ran at it too, as they met near the middle,
he swung his sword and cut the wolf’s head clean off! Panting,
he sat down, and as he did, he heard the ear piercing sound of
more wolves. He got up and began to run, not caring which
direction he went! Thankfully he saw the path and made for it
and a few minutes later he saw the exit, guarded, by three angry
wolves. He knew he was outnumbered, hopelessly. As the wolves
walked towards him, he clutched his sword ever more tightly and
broke into a run, the wolves ran at him and he swung, and
stabbed one and it fell back, wimpering and then lying still –
this seemed to infuriate the other wolves and one tore a hole in
his trousers, he turned and struck this one down too. The last
wolf, larger than the others turned and charged again at him,
knocking him over. He raised his sword and slew the beast, and
made for the way out and freedom.

Meh, I'm gonna get some food and while I'm gone, I want you to
be civil, but I know I'll come back to find virtual bloodshed,
so what's the point of asking otherwise

If you ever get to read RAoRA, you'd find out that I slew
creatures worse than a pack of wolves
