Rhymus Thymus is a human male born in the coastal city of Pivot. He endured a difficult upbringing, suffering the loss of his parents at the measly age of four. He joined Pivot's local cloister, Lordgod, and worked there as an altar boy until he turned thirteen.
He purchased a sword and worked odd jobs, often serving as a guard to caravans along trade routes between the cities of Ocrea. In doing so, he developed a strength that could rival most foes, and at sixteen joined a tourney in Forge Klork, the Dwarven city.
Most of the opponents were stronger than him, so it was either great luck or divine intervention that allowed him to make it to the final round. The battles were slug fests, with blow after blow of hard-hitting opponents. In the final round this was turned up to eleven, but neither Rhymus nor his opponent, Obo Scarveson, an elven brute, would let up. Obo went to disarm him, and while he succeeded, Rhymus grabbed Obo by the shoulders and headbutted him, knocking him out cold.
This victory gained Rhymus a lot of fame and standing in Forge Klork. They gave him passage to have any weapon he wanted forged in any blacksmith in the city, and the first one he went to met him with Thorin Ironbeard. After a friendly exchange, the dwarf fighter made him a beautiful hammer.
Between questing around Ocrea and tourney fights for two years, he won seven tourneys around the country, and lost seven to Obo. Time passed -- he turned nineteen -- and then...
...he couldn't remember anything at all. Except... for giving a witch a brawl. But that's it, not a single other memory from when he was alive: that is, until he turned twenty-five. He could only speak in what seemed to be rhymes, but he went on fighting and eating swines. Oh, and one thing that wasn't great was that he appeared to gain weight. But it wasn't from eating truffles, no! It was a mass of muscles. From twenty-five to twenty-eight, he kept battling in tourney fights, but went through many worried, sleepless nights.
Then, after about a year, a person offered him a new career. They said, "Join the corporation of Yggdrasil!" Where, Rhymus gathered, he could fight to vanquish evil. So he, whole unsure, went to take this quest, and gathered the decision would be for the best.
