Numan Hotswell



Numan Hotswell is one of the main characters of Every Star, and is played by Tyler Wasser. He has been part of the adventure since the very beginning, and is basically the group's moral compass, despite the twisted emotions locked away within his own self.

Backstory
Numan was born in a small elf village in the forests of Frees'tou. His mother Linna and father Tinn met once a year on Linna's business trips, until they eventually settled down and gave birth to two sons. First Numan, and then Terrin 10 years later. Numan and Terrin faced much ridicule in the village due to being crossbred half-elves, so their father toughened them up so they could one day be city guards. When Numan was 16, his parents both succumbed to filth fever, leaving him to care for Terrin by himself. When Numan turned 20, his village was attacked by an organization of mages. For four more years, the kingdom's best soldiers were sent, but none of them returned. Numan and Terrin (ages 24 and 14) were selected as part of an elite 5-person unit, to be the kingdom's last hope against the mages.

Numan's unit stormed the mage's hideout and easily dispatched of the mages, much to their surprise. However, their victory was short-lived, as everyone in the party except for Numan had been poisoned. Realizing he'd need to prepare for the rest of his life, he buried his allies, and his younger brother Terrin. For five more years, Numan lived as a bard to honor the death of his brother, who loved playing the lute.

Mortal Realm (Fallcrest)
Numan traveled as bard until he was 29 years old. Whilst visiting Fallcrest, he met up with Aelar and Terrios, and joined them in a short mission involving the assassination of a certain necromancer. After being rewarded with the key to a nearby mine, the three of them met with up with Czech and Vous, where they were appointed as trainees for the most prestigious job in the universe.
