Background
Being born into a noble family, Soran was afforded many amenities. He was trained in hand to hand combat, a variety of weapons and fighting styles, how to read, and the structure of the world around him. His father was a large presence in the noble world, renowned as both a political figurehead and a war hero. His mother was well regarded for her beauty and kindness. The Novarra name was well affiliated with being generous with their status, often helping the poor, those down on their luck, and setting up camps for the homeless. It was this exact generosity that got his family killed.
While he was out on a small hunting trip with a few of his men, opposing men from a jealous noble family sent in some of their guard under disguise of the homeless. A small event to house some of the less fortune at the manor was being held. They killed the guards and slaughtered his family and stole their wealth while they slept, including his newborn baby sister. Upon his return, he was devastated and turned to a life of a drunk for many years. Traveling from place to place, he was now a young man who drank at every opportunity, until an elderly man found him. He was able to convince Soran that he had exactly what he needed to help Soran find peace.
After almost a month's worth of travel, high into the mountaintops, the elderly man revealed himself as a grand master at a hidden monk monastery. There, Soran trained with the monks in both masteirng his emotions, tampering his inner turmoil and embracing his life. He learned the ways of chi and meditation. He stayed there for many more years, now well into adulthood, he finally felt at peace. He was happy where he was, but decided it was time to move on. He had a new goal in life. He wanted to continue his family's legacy, without revenge.
With his new ability to control chi, he found he was able to control his body and the flow of it better than ever. While not immortal, his lifespan would be dramatically increased by the skills and abilities the monks had taught him. While working with chi, he was taught one more thing. The ability to use wind magic as a way to support his fighting style. With his new skills and abilities, he traveled back out into the world to fulfill a new dream.
