Kurt's Level 5 Bio

Kurt's tale begins long before Kurt...

A high elf lord named Durex proudly reigned over conquered lands, a dark, cruel man known for his mastery of the Necromantic Arts and enjoyment of torture and agony. He was ruthless, with a lust for power that was never satisfied. He seemingly met his match one day when his armies were wiped out by brutal wolven warriors and so Durex himself took to the field. It was a bloody fight, and as Nura saw her warriors falling to the undead and tendrils of death and bone shards, the wolven alpha took to the field herself. The battle was long and hard, and Nura's sheer strength was overwhelming to the elven lord. They quipped back and forth, and Nura bested Durex, matching strength for strength, word for word, insult to insult. But where she was an honorable fighter, Durex was not. He won by dirty tactics, as literally, sand was scooped up when he was felled, just for him to get back up and manage to slam it into the wolven's face, coating her eyes and blinding her as well as her sense of smell from sand-laden nostrils. Upon winning the fight, Durex proceeded to rape the wolven in front of her dying warriors.

He let her live on 'his' new lands, and kept an eye on things. When rumor came to him that she was pregnant, he became rather overjoyed. A halfbreed with wolven strength and cunning elven mind and mystical prowess was a perfect heir. The concubine and oracle of Durex, a vulpine named Varncadia, had spoken of foreseeing a halfbred son with a grand future. Nura however, had other plans.. She expected a brute of a child, male or female, and was to kill it upon birth, as nothing during her pregnancy seemed to do the trick. No matter how hard she tried, even as far as poisoning herself, nothing seemed to work. She would not mother the spawn of her rapist, nor would she allow a halfbreed to be in her pack. Though the child could also be her leverage against Durex, as she soon found out he had interest in his progeny.

When the child was born however, it was nothing that had been expected.. The infant was seemingly female, of pale flesh and wolven ears and tail black as night to match short hair.. tiny.. thin.. Certainly no warrior, not of Nura nor Durex.. But politics kept Nura and her pack untouched, under the protection of Durex owning his newly conquered land.

Nura wanted the spawn of Durex dead.. Yet she found the infant to be far too sweet, and innocent. There was no cruelty to his eyes like his father. Durex had expected a hulking wolven halfbreed with the grace of an elf.. not.. this little weak thing. But laws and rules stated Durex could not kill the child until the child spoke a first word. Nura had also made an arrangement, that so long as she protected the infant, her lands would be safe, and likewise under protection of Durex.

The child went unnamed for a while, simply called "Wolfie" by Durex, a slang insult.. and yet.. Durex still kept.. visiting. Nura was also drawn to the infant, unlike her other offspring, and took up nurturing and protecting the halfbreed, while her own wolven children had mostly fended for themselves and were raised by the whole pack. Varncadia saw it happening, saw her Master growing weak.. and so when the spirits told whispers of a mighty name for a mighty halfbreed, she told Durex that his halfbreed son, Kurtadam, would be a force to be reckoned with. Naturally, she was mortified when Durex named the child... Kurt... Kurt Adam.

Whether it was the name or how 'he' was raised, Kurt took on male mannerisms and kept a strange androgynous appearance as he grew, not taking on feminine curves nor male masculinity. The pack grew annoyed and restless with their alpha's choice to keep the halfbreed, and while they showed him respect in her presence, beyond her was another matter. They often left the child to his own devices, teased and taunted, and took delight in his failings. Gender wasn't an issue, as well.. gender had no place or general ruling. So Kurt grew up free to be as male as he wanted and seemed to have decided for himself. Durex catered to this with clothing, not having his 'son' grow up in tribal wolven leathers. The more Kurt grew, the more Durex visited, the softer he seemed to become around the boy.

Varncadia was enraged. Truthfully, she wanted to bare her Master's heir, and now watched as the weak thing softened him, threatening to unravel his life's work should such weakness be known. She tried to warn him that the child was a curse, that he was not the son she had foreseen for him. She was certain that if the child wasn't actually a curse, some outside force had cursed Kurt to get to Durex. She came close.. dangerously close.

One night while consulting the spirits, she found herself blacked out. It happened to be one of the few nights Kurt was actually staying with his father, and getting a taste of high elven heritage. Durex found Varncadia the next day, tortured to death in his own dungeon. Later, he would find out her soul had been stolen and no magic could revive her until such was recovered. Horror struck when Durex found Kurt's room not only ransacked, but the pre-teen was missing.

Years passed.

During those years, Kurt was living an alternate life. His memory had been wiped and replaced, twice over because the memory wiping never seemed to hold properly. The false memories and lives switched things around, holding on to many altered truths, just enough to conflict and confuse. Originally, Kurt thought he was indeed a she, who was a male in disguise to flee her kingdom for freedom. But Kurt's own feelings of gender, of being male, tore holes through such to the point the false memories just couldn't hold, unable to battle the feelings, the emotions and instinct. Upon coming to Nanthalion, Kurt was dragged into the bathhouse by a mischievous woman and presented to Christolf, who mentally and emotionally broke him down over his gender and being a female. Then, eventually, Kurt found himself in servitude to a man named Talynn, who took his virginity and was set that due to Kurt's gender, he was a she, and treated her as such.. That was a living nightmare for Kurt, made worse when Talynn decided to take another slave, a cross-dressing catling named Xanthus, a male.. who despite wearing female clothes, was treated like a male. It broke Kurt down over time, and matters were made worse when Kurt had been kidnapped by a goblin named Balrat, who dragged him off to the Haac Draar, where he was raped and used, and eventually displayed in the inn for such things. Thankfully that was where Talynn rescued Kurt, but things were never the same... Memory issues took over, and Kurt found himself on the road, uncollared, and pretty much abandoned. There he met Rebecca, who sought to hire him into the Valencian military as an engineer for his talents. Sadly that did not last either, ending before it truly began.

With more and more memory lapses, Kurt has taken to wandering alone, with his collection of animals gathered along the way. His beloved beasts of burden include a donkey named Marvin and a sumpter horse named Shaggy. They're his family, and Kurt is ever the gentle soul finding his place in the world and battling with his accursed transgender ordeal.
