Why ty
Veliosia was born to a southern belle and a not so unlucky gambler, on All Hallow's Eve. His father taught him how to play his first card game, a good five card poker. Veliosia picked it up quickly and learned how to play not only poker, but several other games from his father. His mother, on the hand, taught him about superstitions. She always avoided doing so many things, because of her superstitious beliefs. Of course, this stuff rubbed off on him and so Veliosia learned to deal with superstitious ordeals.
His father, before he left to do something aside from gamble his life away, gave Veliosia his first book, Hoyle's Book of Cards. His father always told him to look past what is shown and find what isn't. His father died a few days later, and his mother wasn't all too surprised by the news. One of the many superstitions had warned her. Veliosia set to reading his dad's book, it being th eonly thing he really had to think of the man. It wasn't until his sixteenth birthday that he realized the truth behind his father's words.
He set off on his own after that, making his way through the south, heading west with nothing more than some food from his mother, his father's book, the clothes on his back, and a new deck of cards.
