Rauvine

The protagonist of Abysm.

A descendant of the noble warriors of Arum Garruck, who seeks to restore his home-world using The Catalyst of Sages.

Childhood
Rauvine grew up in the nation of Terran, and lived in a small farming village in the country. Not much is known about who his parents were or what his home life was like, but since an early age he has had a fascination with all things ancient. He had heard stories about Arum Garruck, an old kingdom on the outskirts of Terran which was destroyed thousands of years before he was born.

Apparently this kingdom was home to some of Abysm's greatest warriors. Rauvine came to idolize them for their bravery and the causes they fought for. It is of note that Rauvine is a direct descendant of Arum Garruck warriors, and he holds incredibly strong emotional ties with the lost kingdom, as well as a deep sense of sadness for all the lives lost in its destruction.

Beginnings In Exploration
When he was old enough, Rauvine began to pursue his passion of the ancient and the past and became an archaeologist of sorts. He traveled across The Cap, with the goal of uncovering the lost, and learning the secrets of various ruins, dungeons, etc. Through his travels, he began to hear whispers of an ancient cult which had worshiped a god called "Ah-Punch".

Though he at first had only a vague understanding of the situation, one by one a strange story became clear. It told of Ah-Punch and The Catalyst of Sages, a mysterious artifact granting all those who find it one wish. Rauvine realized if he could find Ah-Punch, perhaps he could bargain and find a way to bring back the once great Arum Garruck.

The game begins with Rauvine tracking down the temple of Ah-Punch, and speaking to a statue of the god. Ah-Punch agrees to give Rauvine the Catalyst, but only if Rauvine does Ah-Punch a significant favor.
