Lanbras was convinced he was different from the other hobbit lads from childhood. While many around him were convinced with the well-to-do, the original, the base-level simplicities of life, Lanbras knew there had to be something greater. Keeping in line with his father's carpentry trade, Lanbras worked tirelessly making goods for wealthy hobbit-holes and helping with his family's farm. Like all hobbits, he had a love for creating things and watching plants grow, but had a very deep desire for vagrancy and the simple life of a nomad.
One day, he was approached with a furniture order for that queer fellow from the Shire, one of the Bagginses. He heard rumours of the patrician fellow's adventures near the Lonely Mountain and Lake-town, Lanbras took this as divine providence, and packed his few possessions into his briefcase and let the road guide his path. He forsook his family's name and re-christined himself Lanbras Wanderlust.
Of course, this is barely scratching the surface of our young hero's bildungsroman, but some stories are better told in a tavern with a mug of ale. After all, you can take the hobbit out of the Shire, but you can never take the Shire out of a hobbit!
(By the by, Lan is a level 39, and a Woodworker. He can craft all the way up to making Black Ash wood and Excellent Hides, and can make wooden items up to Lebethron. Almost to Black Ash. And a Farmer up to Tier 3. Also, currently stuck on Book IV, Chapter 8.)
