Anderek Lancaster ((Account: Medieve))

//Hehe, I don't know if anyone will see this before he dies, but hopefully so.//
Raised in Peltarch, Anderek had a fairly normal childhood. Both of his parents were servants to Peltarch nobles, and when he was old enough, Anderek helped also. But when his mother grew ill with an unknown disease, the noble's wife demanded that the Lancasters should be dismissed, fearing that she might catch the disease. After working for the noble family for an entire generation, Anderek's parents didn't know what else to do after being fired, especially since Anderek had begun showing signs of being a sorcerer. Anderek's father, Elrick, had been passing correspondence with a brother in Norwick, who offered to provide shelter.
Having lived their entire lives comfortably in Peltarch, Anderek's parents lagged to leave the city while Anderek's mother grew more ill. Frustrated by the illness that had disabled his wife, and at the people that abandoned them, Elrick went back to the nobles and demanded money for medicine. The house guards didn't take Elrick's ranting well and refused to give him entry into the household. The local patrol heard the commotion and came over to what appeared to be a man trying to break into a noble's house. Anderek's father was incarcerated, and when he heard that his wife had passed away, Elrick stopped eating and wasted away in the city prison.
Now about 16, Anderek grieved over his sad parents, but still able to move on. Continuing his father's correspondence with his uncle, Anderek recieved money from his uncle to join a caravan to Norwick.
His uncle was a very strict man, but allowed Anderek to live with him for a few years. Anderek didn't enjoy his uncle's company very much, and spent a lot of time fighting with his uncle. Most of his time was spent drawing outside or experimenting with his still raw sorcerer skills. When his uncle discovered Anderek making flowers glow in the dark secretly at night, he kicked him out of the house. Anderek managed to earn enough money to stay at the inn by marketing his attractive looks out on the streets as a male prostitute. During one of these nights, he caught the sight of a witch who thoroughly enjoyed his company. Sensing that he was a sorcerer, she offered to teach him the craft of magic in exchange for sexual favors.
Their odd but sensual connection as tutor and student continued for a few months until when the witch unexpectantly died from a disease she had caught from another man she had been doing "business" with. Fortunately, Anderek hadn't contracted this disease. He took the witch's death to heart though, and quit the business of selling his body. Using his powers as a sorcerer, he managed to get a few odd jobs here and there, but continues to look for teachers to advance his magical talents.
