Full Name: NayRu Templidar Gender: Male Age: 49 Eyes: Brown Hair: Brown Birthplace: Kingdom of Buya Birth Season: Summer On a hot summer day in the 41st year of King Yuri's reign, a child of destiny was born. These were the times before the peasant folk had to go through many training exercises on the outskirts of Buya - but instead one master teacher named Jadespear assisted me. I was clothed in rags when I first began, but he taught me the basics of survival in the kingdoms. Unfortunately, this was all cut short. Wind Gods angry with the kingdoms descended upon Koguryo and Buya and nearly destroyed the entire cities. Terror griped the all the kingdoms and I at a young age was exposed to countless Buyans suffering across the land. Buildings, guilds, clans, were obliterated. Anguish was everywhere and I needed to survive. Many Yuri's later the images in my mind occasionally keep me up at night. As I ventured away from the towns and into the wilderness I came across a Druid willing to help by the name of Aiyana. She was the Elder and she educated me in the ways of the forest, life, and becoming one with nature. I continued my journey to Nagnang, joining the Forsaken Clan under Infernos when it was just a small hut. I still wanted more however. Druid was not for me, and at this time I abandoned the path. Unfortunately the gods did not appreciate this and my soul blackened. The very next day I met someone which would change the direction of myself forever. At the east gate of Kugnae I ran into a monk by the name of Janken. I never met him before, and have never seen him before either. He was the Elder of the monks and he asked me, how are you doing? I replied, and he talked to me about everyday life. Keeping in mind I have never met him - and without asking, or without even telling him my past, he granted me forgiveness. Just like that. It was probably the single nicest thing I had ever experienced, and he told me there was no need to thank him and if I ever wanted to talk, to go see him. Some time later I decided to look into Monk. I ventured to see Lake in the Buya Library and spoke with him. He gave me the sacred scroll called the Wandering Monk. After reading through it I sent a letter to the founder of the path Greta. She responded and wanted to meet me. She began to teach me many things when I would meet her daily in Wisdom's Ascent. This was during the time of my Ee san trials, and they were becoming very taxing. Nevertheless, Greta taught me to always remain humble, in all trials of life and adventure. She taught me to give of yourself to others. But most importantly, the definition of what I was about to embark on and embody: Karuna. Karuna by definition is translated as "Compassion." I eventually accomplished Ee san, which turned out to be the hardest quest I have ever achieved in these lands. But Greta told me to meditate on what it meant. I realized "Karuna" is one of the most perfect names one could give a monk after attaining the second mark. Through countless days and nights of hard work in the kingdoms, through blood and sweat, a Monk who reaches the second mark realizes that many go through the same efforts to reach it as he did. As Berig put it, "Compassion is the deep awareness many have of others' suffering and wanting to relieve it." Anytime anyone needs help with those trials - or any trials or quests, the name "Karuna" -which I bear- comes to mind, as I am ready to lend my hand. It is being humble and always assisting those in need. The same help that Janken gave me. The same lessons that Greta taught me. :Signed in ink: :NayRu: |
