Backstory
He is an Eladrin elf, born to a wood elf mother and a high elf father. His father was once an adventurer and was quite a skilled wizard. After retiring from the adventuring lifestyle, he focused on studying the Feywild. His mother was helping run an apothecary when they met each other. Before long, they got married and had little Nikola.
Nikola was an intelligent child, soaking up all the teachings both his mother and father had to offer, such as making potions to identify herbs correctly. Also, learning how to formulate spells and to conjure them into existence. He would sometimes join his father in exploring the Feywild.
One of his favorite books as a child was called “Ursa-Veta: The Rage filled Warrior” by P.T. Cyble; even though Nikola was told that it was just about a myth/legend, he believed that the heroine of the story was real and wished he could meet someone like her one day.
Around Nikola’s 121st birthday, he tends to his mother’s apothecary and feels bored out of his mind. He didn’t want to be stuck in a small village for much longer and very much wanted to explore the world; outside of the books he read. He decided to leave, so he packed up clothes, foodstuff, gold, and his father’s old adventuring gear and set off on his adventure.
