[font=gothic][color=crimson]Alright. Here's my human sign up then.

Name: Ulrich Aleksandren
Race: Human, of course.
Age: 24
Bio: Ulrich is a druid. He was born to Celtic/Irish parents, who died when he was a newborn. Ulrich was adopted by Russian parents, who named him. He grew up in Russia, received a decent, though not great education, mainly studying Irish history. At this point, he didn't know why he was different to all those around him. He found out when he turned 15, as set down in his parent's Will. Ulrich's parents took him on a trip to his homeland, and Ulrich fell in love with the place. When his parents tried to leave, he ran away, as they were boarding the plane. Ulrich never saw them again.

For years, he struggled to survive, living on very little food, without shelter, and quite often having to resort to crime to survive. He was eventually thrown out of the small Irish village he resided in, and wandered through the forest until he came across a large pine clearing. He walked into the middle and fell asleep.

He was woken up by a group of angry, white robed men, who spoke the ancient language. Well, they were more shouting it at him. He had heard the language enough to recognise it, but couldn't speak it.

He started stammering about his circumstances, basically giving them a life story. One of the druids, a good-natured man of about 23, walked over, grabbed Ulrich's arm, and lifted him up. He spoke to him firmly, this time in English. He said "Ye know boy, ye'd do better staying with us". And that was it. They cleaned him up, and gave him a better education. He was about 17 at the time. Anyway, he was indoctrinated, and the druid who adopted him, a man named Michael, eventually became the Archdruid of their circle, Ulrich at his side.

Ulrich, though Michael's confidante, was only a minor druid, and was relegated to the outer ring in ceremonies. One solstice, in a great convocation of many circles, Ulrich was excluded altogether, and had to stand in the forest, with many other minor initiate.

Part-way through, a shard of bark fell, and struck his forehead. Looking up, he saw a strange, humanoid creature, watching from the tree above. It saw him, and seemed to quail, but Ulrich just smiled. The creature relaxed, and looked back to the ceremony. Ulrich did likewise.

Later, when Ulrich mentioned it to Michael, he received a very strange reaction. Michael stiffened, and immediately sent him on a plane to America, to find out whether they had ben released. Ulrich, not even sure what he was talking about, went anyway.[/font][/color]
