Huxley Hayleye

Backstory

Born in a busy, unnamed town in the Asterian territory of Ruvia, Huxley was the first and only son to Brinley and Udele (Stroude) Heyleye. Brinley kept Huxley close during the daytime to teach him how to work around the family carpentry shop. He never left him out of sight. If he felt that Huxley needed to know something, there would be a full lesson being shared to not only Huxley, but anyone who stopped by to gain a good word from Brinley. Now Brinley was stocked full of charisma. He could convince a priest into sin. He never used his speech for his own benefit but he had every ability and reason to. Winfred, Huxley's grandfather on Brinley's side, ultimately started the carpentry shop and sold wooden furniture for a living. When he became a father with Brinley, he brought him into the family work and later three generations would hold the carpenter's gift.

Huxley in his early years attended a local school with other towns children. He had a few friends that he would play with whenever he wasn't helping with his father. He showed a high liking towards science and geography and his grandfather noticed. Winfred bought him a compass to brighten his urge to explore the world and its scientific glory. When Huxley reached 12 years of age he was pulled out of school by his parents. What used to be occasional work in-between school days with his father became full time labor. He then on began to run the carpentry shop for his family, not leaving much time to mingle with old friends and other towns people.

Huxley, now 18, knows everything of what to do. Run the shop from sunrise to 5 o'clock, prepare dinner for Mom and Pop, count profits from work, repair anything broken, then sleep and repeat. He knows nothing else and nothing can change... but change is coming... The Great Flood of Ruvia separated Huxley from his parents and sent him with the convoy towards a new landmass. This new place was called Easthaven and most of everyone from Ruvia migrated here. Huxley was overwhelmed from what has all happened. This change makes him feel...too free. No more carpenter shop, no more caring for Mom and Pop, no more basic schedule. He sets off to where a large group is marching and follows them. They settle down with tents and he finds a tree to sit under and think. As he thinks, someone approaches him. It's a pretty girl that he's sure he's seen here before but he doesn't know. She asks if he's alone. He responds with, "Not without you I'm not."

Fast forward 3 years, Huxley and that same pretty girl are married and own a farmhouse just south of Easthaven's port. Dahlia, is her name, loves the farm and helps Huxley all the time. Some say it was a match made in heaven, and some say it was made right here on Earth.
