Bark Branchburg

Bark Branchburg is an unusual druid. Though having a strong affinity with nature, being a wood elf as well as being druid, he has a slight problem with fire. Being a druid, Bark tends to lean towards a mix between a caster and a tank for the party. With his companion and friend Bossy, his bear of a friend, they tend to look a lot alike when Bark is in a furry mood. His ambitions are to be able to help with everything, and also to change into anything he wants, then the real fun begins…

History

In the far West, in the far forest of Levathlanor, there was the forest city of Levathlan. Bark was a young elven child, being schooled in the beginning art of the nature loving druid by is uncle Belian Darksbane. During the winter festival, the fair Elf city was attacked. The city just caught fire, no one knew why. Until the fire moved. Elementals of fire, evil elementals decided to attack the city. within an hour, the elementals fled, and the attack was over, with little casualties, and one elemental being killed. It was then they realized that the attack was a diversion. All of the children in the city were missing, all 23 of them.

They were able to track the elementals over a few day, they quickly took the children over 50 miles to their caverns in the mountains. By the time they found the caverns, and fought the elementals, 15 of the children were killed. The rest of the children, Bark included, were left alone, not remembering what happened or why. It was clear that the leader of the elementals was not there, leaving a message saying that he will return one day to finish his work. The children, after being checked were taken back to the forest city. After that the city was rebuilt, and the forest healed. Bark continued his education for the noble life of a druid. But it was clear that something was wrong. Being a elf, along with a druid should show more respect for the magical art along with being more disciplined, should know not to abuse the skills with fire. It was clear after a time, that the elementals had done something to him, giving him the compulsion to set things ablaze. With the help of his uncle he was able to hold back this compulsion, but not always. While in his current party, he almost burned a tree house down that they were in, while fighting harpies. His hope is to find the elemental that did this to him and only him, and try to cure himself of this compulsion to set things needlessly ablaze…
