Galen was born in the northern forest, where exactly no one knows. Galen’s upbringing was typical for other shifters, learning how to hunt and keep cultural rituals alive. Feeling more calm then the rest of his tribe, rarely having a temper over the slightest thing that bugged him, his family thought he would progress to become tribe leader because Galen always thought everything through and had a clear sight not becoming blind to rage or others words. Galen often went off on his own into the deep part of the forest to relax and be with nature he enjoyed the calm, relaxing part of nature. Often he saw the cycle of nature happen; plant, small animal, big animal, bigger animal, and so forth all the way to humanoid. This frustrated him because he saw his tribe consume more than their need, animals being wasted for their enjoyment. Even though in the tribe rules it states “nature is everything, only kill what needs to be killed.” This made Galen really angry enough to activate his shifting ability and anger everyone and have a council meeting at the age of 11. The council meeting went horrible they really enjoyed their fest and basically told him to deal with it. Without being dismissed he stormed out and left his tribe and along his ragging stamped out of the town and deep into the forest he caught a weird sent and hid, this was a sent foreign to him. This scent was intriguing to him he knew all of these smells because they were plants but never combined in such a way. He snuck around being light footed and came upon a tall man using the mixture of plants he smelt before on an injured animal. With a touch of the mixture, the animal jumped back to life and all signs of the wound seem to be gone. “I know you are there” said the man. Galen backed down thinking, “What to do? My body tells me to run but I want to know how he did that.” He stepped out from behind the tree. “Who are you?” “Who is not the question you want to ask!” Galen spoke up “What are you?” The man said “I am elven druid, young shifter I do what I can for nature and for things around me.” Galen and the elf talked for hours and then decided this was the path to take for his future. “May I join you and train under you?” “Young one I was sent here in a vision to find you and train you, yes you may and because your heart is into nature so much it turning green” they both laugh and venture all across the continent and training. When he finished, at the age of 21, of his training he decided to spend his young adult years, doing what he can for who he can where he can. He finds himself in the county of urnst.
