History
Historical AccountsShow
Born the third son in a family of artisans, Long was well-off growing up. Much of his childhood was spent assisting his father in his trade, pottery, with his eventual future being to become an apprentice, and then, to take over for his shop. When not with his father, he spent time exploring the village, playing with the other children and listening to the stories of travelers.
It was here that he became enthralled with adventures, and the fantastical stories that came with them. Though facing some difficulty in convincing his father of the value in such a craft, he eventually persuaded the man that the telling of stories was as worthy to be called an art as sculpting, or painting. For several years, he learnt the disciplines and traditions of a story-teller, his skill in oration becoming enough that he often performed in the inns of his hometown, or during celebrations.
His apprenticeship came to a pause Long chose to join the Junfá's Army during a recruitment drive. He'd developed a craving for the world outside his village, and felt the army was the easiest way to achieve this. Those his family was somewhat concerned with his path, his master encouraged him with a wide smile, explaining that every man had their own story to tell. He did, however, set a promise to his apprentice. "Don't come back to me until you've got a good story to tell."
His time in the army wasn't long lived, yet he did gain some experiences worthy of remembering. His first time holding a blade. His first time with a woman. His first kill. The death of friends. Revenge. Despite all this, at the end of it all, Long felt he had not finished writing his tale.
After being discharged from the army due to an injury, he wandered for about a year, learning in the span of time to speak and understand the language of the Shinobi Continent. Feeling as though there was a whole lifetime worth of experiences to be had there, he charted a ship departing, and began the next chapter of his life.
