ALAN Race: Halfling Occupation: (Would Be) Wizard, Entertainer Place of Birth: Green Hills Known Relatives: Mother (Unknown Name), Father (Unknown Name) First Appearance: Neverending Nights - Six: He's A Magic Man! History: Rugged is the life of Alan the Astounding. Growing up in Green Hills, Alan was always very secluded, very much to himself. During this recluse behavior was when Alan discovered his father's books of magic. His father had been a well known wizard, throughout the land! (Or at least known throughout Green Hills). Alan became obsessed with magic, swearing that he would be the best known mage in all the land! (He would settle for Green Hills, first, however). By the age of sixteen, he was doing simple magic tricks that were often done at kiddy birthday parties. He swore that this was a start, just to help fund his magical career as a wizard. Unfortunately, Alan never got past that. He actually became "the most well known wizard" - for kiddy parties. There wasn't a family out there that wanted Alan the Astounding to amaze their kids with his simple magic tricks. After years of doing this, and realizing he was never going to be anything more than that, Alan turned to drinking. Alan began drinking rather excessively (it would seem everyone in Neverending Nights drinks excessively!). One day, Alan was recruited for a kiddy birthday party - and he took the job. However, Alan was still extremely drunk. While intending to merely light the candles on the cake, Alan's magic went out of control and ending up burning down the home of a very rich client. The word about Alan got around, and soon enoguh he wasn't even getting jobs for kiddy parties. But Alan lived in a world of denial. He still considers himself to be the greatest wizard ever! (And he will actually deny ever doing kiddy birthday parties - rather, he has big tales of single handedly killing dragons while the rest of his party members ran around in the cave, utterly feared by the dragon)!
