Bio: Rory was born in one of the last wild areas of Terra, a far northern oceanic area. He lived fairly free of human intervention, but this didn't last long: he was driven out of his small community by human colonization when he was still young and driven into hiding. He remained in hiding for years, bitter and angry towards humans in general. Later he became involved in some less than legal activities, looking for revenge. Things have changed over the past few years as he learned from other animals in hiding the secret of appearing like a human. Tired of running and cooled off somewhat from his incident with humans, Rory settled in a human town for the sake of earning a living, becoming a cartographer. As he began to slowly interact with humans, he realized that they aren't all the monsters that form his childhood memories. Rory is still somewhat awkward with humans and has very few close human friends (but has not, so far, revealed his true self to any of them), and wishes to meet more animals in hiding to help them at least find some sanity. Because of his experiences, it takes him a long time to fully trust someone. Even with his experiences with humans, he still dreams of a world free from human colonization and so is not at all commited to developing any sort of rapport with humans: he veiws his dealings with humans as more of an necessary evil at this point.
