== Birth ==
:'''Character Summary:'''
<div align="justify">Born the son of a Romini fortuneteller under the employ of a traveling sideshow carnival.  During the years prior to the TNanshi/Mikona conflict, the troupe traveled throughout all of Southern Avlis, setting up camp outside of large settlements and staying only as long as the coin flowed in their direction.  As war began brewing between the two nations, travel across the borderlands became more difficult, until one day the borderlands were closed to civilian traffic, trapping the troupe on the M'Chek side of the warzone.  This move effectively cut their annual route in half,  and the makeup of their audience quickly shifted from pleasant townsfolk to M'Chek soldiers, bandits from the wildlands, and the occasional wandering adventurering party.  Life became rough for the small troupe, and as the times changed, so did their show, becoming more raucous and baudy the more their audiences demanded it.  Their problems culminated when the old circusmaster passed away, leaving the leadership of the troupe to his cruel son Jaard. As times were tough, the performers sought new ways to sustain themselves, and under Jaard's leadership, this included gambling, illegal dueling, cockfighting, and prostitution.  It is the latter which resulted in the birth of Adagio D'Tranticus, his last name created by his mother from the hero of some ancient tale.</div>
:Adagio (or 'Dagi' to his friends) was born into a traveling circus, which, due to unfortunate circumstances, he left to become a traveling hunter serving Pelar for many years.  After ten-odd seasons, a traumatic and life-changing incident lead him back to his roots in performance, and he has since given up his life as a ranger.  (A good thing, considering his notoriously poor sense of direction.) In the many years since he found his true calling in life, his notoriety as a performer has blossomed. He has since become the Director of the Academy of Bardic Arts in Visimontium, and the leader of the reknown performance ensemble known as Reverdie.  He can usually be found in and around the Academy, especially since the installation of the portal tower in Visimontium, located very close to his base of operations. Any young bards interested in educational or employment opportunities, or any organizations seeking assistance in planning entertainment for their events, are encouraged to leave a note at his offices inside the Bardic Academy. ((PM Simon Drat)


== The Early Years ==
:'''Personality:'''
<div align="justify"> Adagio, or Dagi to his friends, grew up without a father, but he never lacked for positive role models.  The group was much like an extended family, and the adult males of the group all acted as father figures to the children.  Lorn, the carnival's strongman, taught him to fight with both hands and to never back down from a challenge.  The troupe fool, Jimbukkit, became another strong influence, teaching Adagio to sing and whistle along to the rhythm of a leather-skinned tambourine.  And his mother Lillian, the most powerful influence of all, taught him to love nature and to follow Pelar, so that once he reached manhood he would never want for food again in his life.  Once he was old enough to carry a spear, she made sure to have him apprenticed to the bear trainer, Pilloshe, in order to keep him close to nature. Dagi spent many long, happy hours in the bear tent, and has had a passion for the animals ever since.<br><br>
:Adagio is ever the inquisitive optimist, always hungry for new fodder for his many tales and songs.  Still a hunter at heart, he serves Pelar not only through his frequent hunting trips, but also in his hunt for knowledge and various items for his numerous collections.  He is immodest, sometimes to a fault, but truly, who can fault him for admitting just how handsome he is? Facts are facts, after all... and an encounter with Adagio is hard to forget.  After all, when's the last time you saw a human with such strikingly lavender hair, hmm?
Arguably the strongest influence in his early life was his half-brother Nouvhig, a half-elf born of a similar liaison, who grew up alongside Adagio. The two spent most evenings together, hunting long into the night as they patrolled the perimiters outside their camp, exploring the local wildlife and jesting with one another incessantly.It was on one such late night hunt that their lives would change forever.  They returned to camp to find the entire area burned to the ground, the dark figures of brutish marauders silhouetted against the burting carts.  That day an argument had broken out between Lorn and a group of three orcs who were heckling the show and throwing things at the performers.  The argument got personal, and the orcs threatened to return with reinforcements and settle the matter once and for all.  In these harsh wartimes, such threats were commonplace and always ignored... but this time the threat was real.<br><br>
True to their word, the orcs returned with a seasoned squardon of bandits who proceeded to decimated the feelble enclave, destroying everything in their wake.  The two young men headed towards the borderlands, somehow managed to cross unseen, and fled for the safe, lofty branches of the city of the elves.</div>

<div align="justify"> Through the darkness they ran, bravely (or foolishly) plunging through the heart of the TNanshi forest.  The two knew the rough location of Le'OrT'Nanshi, but had never been this deep into the wilds before.  It wasn't long before they were completely lost. Naturally, considering their location, it also wasn't long before they found themselves in mortal peril.  Cornered by a pack of beetles, the two young men had a quick lesson in melee combat which consisted mainly of getting chewed upon by fiery mandibles.  Luckily, a brown bear happened to pass by, and through Adagio's skills with these beasts, he quickly convinced the animal to come to their rescue.  Minutes later, they were safe once again and Adagio had gained a new friend who would soon become his lifelong companion.<br><br>

The bear Eartha accompanied Adagio and his brother to Le'Or, where they found solace at the grand temple of their mother's patron deity, Pelar.  Under the tutelage of Pelar's followers, the two began their adult lives as devout followers of the hunter god.  While his brother began to walk a more devout druidic path, inside Adagio a fire of vengeance burned.  He swore to slay orcs and orc-kin wherever he encountered them, and thus began his early career as an OrcSlayer. <br><br>
{{PC}}
Much of Dagi's first ten seasons was centered around improving his hunting skills with the intent to destory orcs wherever he could find them.  But at this young age, without a coin in his pocket nor steel nor arrow to his name, a larger question remained... how to make a living?  The business of vengeance yields little coin to buy blades and bows, so Adagio soon turned his attention towards a small elven encampment known as Silverfall.</div>

Character Summary:
Adagio (or 'Dagi' to his friends) was born into a traveling circus, which, due to unfortunate circumstances, he left to become a traveling hunter serving Pelar for many years. After ten-odd seasons, a traumatic and life-changing incident lead him back to his roots in performance, and he has since given up his life as a ranger. (A good thing, considering his notoriously poor sense of direction.) In the many years since he found his true calling in life, his notoriety as a performer has blossomed. He has since become the Director of the Academy of Bardic Arts in Visimontium, and the leader of the reknown performance ensemble known as Reverdie. He can usually be found in and around the Academy, especially since the installation of the portal tower in Visimontium, located very close to his base of operations. Any young bards interested in educational or employment opportunities, or any organizations seeking assistance in planning entertainment for their events, are encouraged to leave a note at his offices inside the Bardic Academy.
