Dylan Sebastian Chad
Backstory
To date, the only time the Fade Collector system has failed or broken down was 22 years ago in a forest village called Kernsby. The primary collection unit east of the town failed, and overnight while the citizens slept, fog from the fade crept into their city. The people of Kernsby woke in a panic, their skin and lungs being burned and choked by the harmful otherworldly gas. They gathered what they could and fled westward, seeking safety in neighbouring villages or larger settlements like Hilloch or Midweld.
Many of them died, and in the panic some things were forgotten. Some people were forgotten.
One of those people was a three year old child named Dylan Sebastian Chad. He'd wander for the next few days in confusion and terror, eventually finding himself on the shores of Kernsby Lake west of the village he'd grown up in. Around 50 miles from Midweld on the side of that lake, the young boy would beat the odds in every way - teaching himself to survive. Good fortune, a consistently warm climate, and the apparent aid from various animals would ensure that Dylan would reach adulthood. Having formed a familial bond over his life with a family of river otters, Dylan would become known - observed but never approached - by passers-by as the the Otter Man of Kernsby.
Clad in random pieces of clothing he'd find or could stitch on his own, Dylan would eventually set off to see what else the world had to offer. Leaving his lakeside home for the first time since he'd arrived, he walked north along the barrier of the eastern woods visiting towns like Suthael and large villages like Noxfeld, before finding himself drawn toward the quiet forest hamlet of Solace.
