[h3] Witten discription [/h3]
[justify]Chris has always been a wild card. As a kid he'd turn the whole neighbourhood upside down with his antics. Doors were no obstacle to him, rather they were an adventure to him, an invitation even. Curiosity and independence were a core value to him even back then and stopping him in his tracks would surely be a way of getting his tantrum thrown at you. And this extreme need for thrill and independence is one that remains even into adulthood.

Meeting Chris does not leave much for the imagination. He is an open-book who wears his heart on his sleeves. Talks with him often consist of him talking about his travels and his hopes and dreams of life on the road as well as about his world views. He openly disregards the status quo and feels great discomfort in being tied to anything. This discomfort is displayed in the way he refuses to settle down anywhere, for example, instead preferring to keep to the road with bag carrying all his belongings. [/justify]

[table][td][justify]Apart from that he greatly opposes anyone who reinforces any kind of control over him or others- which shows itself in a huge disdain for many authority figures though does not include a control that keeps others from harm. This part of him does however mean he often struggles to keep most jobs, as said hierarchy structure directly opposes his free-sprit mindset. Which is why he does way better as a seasonal farm hand. Doing hard work for a couple of weeks and travel the rest of the year as soon as his feet start aching again. Begging him to take to road again. [/justify][/td][td][justify][img]https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/b91380a8-337c-418e-9326-096d2c11a6f0/db9n20s-b049edf0-6c0b-441f-b11b-ab362f78c947.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcL2I5MTM4MGE4LTMzN2MtNDE4ZS05MzI2LTA5NmQyYzExYTZmMFwvZGI5bjIwcy1iMDQ5ZWRmMC02YzBiLTQ0MWYtYjExYi1hYjM2MmY3OGM5NDcuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.7-CTAjBYr7xxZtNafB_ys5DtgFfQrG7LNwMbROwb1GU[/img][/justify][/td][/table]
[justify] Lastly Christian feels a never-ending drive to find the new, to see more and explore every possible road that comes his way. He feels best when surrounded by nature and prefers to keep away from cities as the grossness of them often make him feel claustrophobic. This search for new thrills however is not limited to his travels, in fact- Chris also struggles to keep by the same people for too long. He is definitely capable of getting close to many, but as soon as he feels like someone is fully dependent on him he starts to feel enclosed fearing this person might get hurt as soon as he feels the need to leave again. Which is why the only person he has truly grown attached too is his best friend Ivanka, who decided to uproot her life to stay by his side. And in doing so illimated the fear of hurting her in his wake. [/justify]

[h4]Adventure log[/h4]
[i]A collection of Chris's journeys[/i]

[h2]✵ Volume one: Youth [/h2]

Christian McDaniels is born in the quiet of a late autumn night to his parents Neil McDaniels and Josephine McDaniels. A newlywed couple whose plans up until nine months earlier had not included a child. Both parents were driven Career people, devoted to getting ahead as far and fast as possible- leaving Chris as quite the challenge. Both however were dedicated to keeping the child- unwilling to give up the young boy as well as loving him regardless of the challenge he imposed on them. Doing and wanting were two drastically different things, however, and a large sum of Chris his youth was spent on his own. Which formed the soil for his independent temperament to manifest itself in a true Independent and rebellious personality streak. With his parents working all the time, Chris was left to his own devices. Making for quite the unruly child. 

It was during this time that Christian met Ivanka, a girl from his village who loved hearing about his dreams of one day leaving the place behind and going on grand journeys. And together they formed a great friendship- one that, even though he'd never admit it, dragged him through his quite lonesome early years. Ivanka and him were truly inseparable extremely quickly starting from the moment she taught him how to swim, which he wanted to do in preparation for his travels. Great memories of their past including things like talking over walkies (where they referred to each other by their codenames eagle and badger). Joining the scouts together, and having sleepovers in their treehut. 

With such a great friend around Christian never truly felt alone- which is not to say that his parent's way of raising him did not leave him without a scar. As when Chris started to grow and understand more, signs of his parent's hard work were visible to him in the way they went about life. He saw how they tired themselves for money- he saw how proud they were of materialistic goods and how often they spoke of their careers in place of their son. Which only fueled Chriss's disdain for such things, as he would even refer to them as work zombies. 

[h2]✵ Volume two: Teenage years [/h2]

Growing older, Chris's understanding of the world doubled- or more so his eagerness to explore it whilst his parents grew bitter with one another.  He started to indulge himself in literature on great travellers before him as well as studying their philosophies on life that directly fed into his need for adventure and drive for " true" freedom. The kind that he only found in the world beyond their village and the materialistic shortviewed eyes of his parents. During rare family dinners, he started opposing his parent's way of living and began rebelling against their plans for him to take over their business one day or at least go to university. Leaving his relationship with his parents strained and fuelling his irreverent and salty demeanour towards figures of authority. 

The only person he truly could get along with these days was Ivanka, who was to him a true safety net. A person who understood him like no other and would support him no matter what. Hours were spent together, days and nights. During this, he'd share with her his studies, his views on life on the road and the freedom found in burning all bridges and living out of the grasp of the status quo. Little did he know, she grew inspired to follow. 

[h2]✵ Volume three: The escape [/h2]

With the relationship between him and his parents worsening over the years, Chris's need for a way outgrew. And with his journey planned out, Chris knew it was but a matter of waiting till his 21th birthday before he could in act his plan of leaving everything behind. once he was done with school and had saved up enough to last him atleast a month on the road. What he had not expected, however, was for his parents to understand they had no choice but to accept him just the way he was.  Years of them arguing over his future had left them defeated and in the end, they had no choice but to send him off- knowing that that way, Chris would at least come back to them when his travels were over. Knowing that taking his way, was the only way that would allow them to still have them in their lives at least. Thus, for his 1st birthday- he was presented with a compass, a fitting international data plan and a solar charger for his phone. Gear that at least would allow them to stay in contact, which they begged them to do and something he reluctantly promised them before leaving. Also given to him was Frisco, a Talonflame that had been with the family since it was but a tiny Fletchling, and they thought would keep him from harm.

The day however was not complete with yet another surprise. As right before leaving the village, where he'd planned on saying goodbye to Ivanka- she begged him to take her with him on his journey. Ensuring him she knew what his plans entailed and that her folks were oke with it- leaving Chris with no choice but to excitingly accept her as his companion once more. Because well- he was not even sure if he'd leave truly happy with her still being there- away from him. 

[h2]✵ Volume four: The road [/h2]

Together the pair have been travelling for about 2 months now- and well, money is running out meaning their first pit stop would be as planned- Cerynia. Where they would need to finds jobs in order to safe up money again to continue on their journey.
