Name: Apprentice Marrus Points: 100.0 Appearance: 5'6", 135 lbs, dark brown hair, straight hair, green eyes, normal complexion, wiry frame, age 18. Background: Marrus' parents couldn't believe their luck when they managed to get the boy apprenticed to an alchemist. The lad was bright, dextrous and keen - they were sure he'd do well. Unfortunately, although keen, Marrus lacked the concentration to apply himself to the work. This earned him frequent physical reprimands from his master (in the process, teaching him how to ride the blows), and, following a rather nasty accident which cost Marrus his keen hearing, the boy was eventually dismissed. That would have been the end of his career, but another alchemist - Master Benet - saw promise in him, and took Marrus under his wing. Benet was kind, and saw that Marrus needed variety in his work. He allowed him to learn a greater range of elixirs than was common, and also got him involved in other work, such as tending the animals and taking trips on his own to collect the necessary ingredients. This helped Marrus to progress. Benet knows that some day Marrus will leave him to make his own way in the world, but hopes to temper the lad into someone more able to cope with the realities of life before he does so.
