SwibOnVHS

SwibOnVHS is a scribe and playwright in the land of Rathnir.

Early Life
SwibOnVHS was born in the lands west of Rathnir, to a large nomadic family. Early in his adolescence, he was taught that scamming was the only way to survive. However, unlike the rest of his family, Swib adopted a penchant for high-level scams, and developed a charmer persona. He pulled quick hustles on many in the lands surrounding Rathnir, but his conniving ways soon caught up to him. A tribe of Bandits attacked his family after a scheme gone wrong, and scattered them all. Swib was abandoned by his family, and he took the time he spent alone to reflect on his life choices.

He wandered the Rathnir outskirts until happening upon a monastery, who took him in. They taught him how to read and write, and Swib found that he had a passion for storytelling. The charming persona of his scamming days served him well, as his charisma dripped onto every page he wrote. His essays and plays gained immense popularity in the monastery, and they were spread fervently within the monastery peninsula. Gradually, he swindled his way up to the Head Scribe office, and using this newfound power, he began to spread more challenging ideas.

Controversy / Exile
As Swib grew in popularity within the monastery, he began to openly criticize the administration, as well as the religion they were all a part of. Swib believed that his scheming had a place in the world as a morally neutral tool, rather than a morally evil sin. This heresy, combined with his immature mockery of the monastery administration and mind-bending conspiracy theories, got him expelled and abandoned by his adoring public. Once again, Swib was alone by his own hand. However, unlike the abandonment of his family, this exile emboldened his worldview. Swib was ready to show the world what true show-business was all about, and he knew exactly where to go to make his big break.

Present
Swib now wanders around the lands of Rathnir as a scribe-for-hire, and bides his time until he can find the resources to build his dream- a film studio.
