Background

Reese had a normal childhood, but he always knew what he was going to be. From the start his father immediately wanted him to get a strong job, and his mother wanted him to get a job with power. He planned to be a knight and even prepared to join training once he came around the age. Alas, with time his father grew mean and his mother weary and snappy. Upon their word he was forced to leave home at 18, unable to even try to become a knight. From there he left town and started a life in thievery. He stole for himself in the beginning before meeting a band of boys around his age. Despite his sadness of being kicked out of his home, these boys pulled him out of his depression. They were street rats just like him, surviving from scraps or stealing. They taught him their ways and he soon became an expert at stealing and selling his stolen goods. Following this, he became talented with a bow and started to rely on hunting and thievery to survive.

At 20 he met a girl. Louisa. Louisa and him got along quickly, forming crushes and eventually dating. She joined the band of boys but didn't steal with them, instead she followed along on their stupid adventures. Once Louisa's family found out they warned her to not meet with the boys ever again, disapproving of their thieving lifestyle despite also being low peasants. Louisa pretended to listen, sneaking out in the day to meet with them for about a year, until her parents threatened to move away from the town Louisa loved so dearly. Instead, Louisa began to meet only Reese at night beside a river outside of town. The meets lasted maybe a month or two before tragedy struck. One of the boys had been murdered outright for attempting to steal out from under some noble's nose. The group was full of mixed reactions on what to do next, eventually cleaving their friendships and leaving Reese to only have Louisa left in his life. But, one night, Louisa stopped showing up. Reese waited and waited, going back for a few days before searching for her in broad daylight. As he went to check her house, all her family's belongs were gone. They had up and left town without a word.

Reese stuck around for a while long before leaving town as well, searching for his love. Yet, there was no luck. Reese had gone back to square one as he lost his new home and new family, now left wandering in search of hope.

At the age of 23, Reese firmly turned to a life of drinking and hooking up at brothels and bars. He gave up on searching for Louisa, once filled with sadness and then anger but now simply acceptance. He worked as a for-hire thief and more. Simply a man that would do anyone's dirty work. He had nothing left to do but live and breathe his work. It wasn't until 24 did he begin to feel his spark return. A bold, fun, and courageous woman had caught his attention, rather he caught her attention. They began meeting and traveling even somewhat working together. Though they never dated it was more of a relationship than he'd ever had since Louisa, until after about half a year the woman showed her true nature. She was a witch. Not some sort of fake future telling witch but one that craved to use and dispose of men for the joy of it. As soon as Reese found out, he ran. The witch gave chase, using her magic to even attempt to stop him or hurt him, but he made it out almost completely unharmed, except for the runes now permanently shining on his skin when her name was spoken or her presence was near.

Within the same year, Reese found a well-spoken of coven that looked over the markings. They attempted to break the spell but were unable to. The witch's magic was far too strong: leaving Reese cursed.
