Name: Frederick Correy Padwood
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Rank: B
Appearance:
Personality: Fred's the very definition of lazy, meaning he will often take the least effort solution to any problem. He'll ignore anything that doesn't hurt him right away, which sometimes gets him into trouble; if not with his enemies, then with his teammates. Without much energy to spare, Fred is often found laying around doing one of his signature naps. However, during the rare times he's doing something he likes, he suddenly transforms into an unstoppable machine, only stopping after either his work is done, or he falls asleep (the latter being the most frequent).
However, behind his carefree attitude is a person who loves to learn and explore. He particularly enjoys taking in the scenarios of the places he visits, collecting information about different cultures and ways of life. His curiosity is unrivaled, and it often "kills the cat", as Fred's common sense appears to vanish every time it is piqued.
An optimist at heart, Fred believes everything will work out OK, though it's unclear if that's because it means less effort for him. Together with his creativity he's able to find unusual ways to solve his problems, or to just avoid them altogether. His passive nature doesn't translate well into friends, but whenever he trusts someone, they can surely trust him back, as he's very protective of his partners. That doesn't mean he won't take some time out of his day to tease them, though.
Brief Bio: Fred humble beginnings take place in the outskirts of Holliville. His childhood was fairly uneventful as far as childhoods go: he made a couple of friends, played a lot, and caused just as much trouble. As an only child, had to find ways to entertain himself, so he'd often spend time exploring the forest around his house, though he almost always got carried away and ended up wandering
too far.
As he grew up, his treks into the woods started getting longer and longer; there would even be times where his trips would take more than one day. During those expeditions Fred picked up an interest in botany, and especially herbology. Every time he came home he'd be loaded with new plants and flowers, which he'd then take to his room and spend the rest of the day examining, much to the pleasure of his mother, an herbologist herself. Together with her, Fred's knowledge grew deeper and deeper, as he eventually started helping her.
Expedition and research seemed to form an endless cycle; however that would not last, as at some point, Fred's adventures suddenly stopped. What sparked this event is unknown, but whatever it was, it was effective. Fred seemed to start avoiding the forest altogether, taking the long trip around it whenever he needed to cross it. He still helped his mother, but considerably less often, since the inactivity lead to him slacking a lot more.
One day during a trip to town, Fred saw an advert for the Autumnfire guild. He didn't think much about it at first, but the thought followed him all the way to his house, where it prevented him from sleeping. It made sense given his current circumstances; the herbs business wasn't the most profitable, and money was tight. Plus, his mother was getting older, and he couldn't burden her any longer than he already did. A couple of restless nights later, he made his decision.
His first 10 months in the guild were rough, but provided a good learning experience to Frederick. He adapted his herbology talent to be more useful in the field, and he also started practicing fighting with a knife. Eventually he settled into the busy lifestyle, and while he still only did the least amount of work necessary, his effort to make something out of himself didn't waver.
