This is a draft I liked, though there are still a few holes. Let me know what you think!
Fenix is a loner, a drifter by nature. Raised by devout clerics of Boccob, Fenix never fit in well with his siblings or peers. While they studied magic, Fenix often snuck books on swordplay and martial combat into lessons. He could always be found trying to learn wrestling techniques from the local blacksmith, and was the first to drop his magical components and throw fists, rather than bolts of magic. Fenix grew to loathe Boccob, even going so far as to defile a temple, though he will not say how to this day. The temple cast him out, and demanded he be ejected from the town, only to return when he was able to perform magic and sing the praises of Boccob. Horrified at what their son had done, his parents backed the temple and cast him out. His mother, however, gave him a secret gift- his first sword and a handful of gold. Out on his own, with little worldly knowledge and only a sword, Fenix turned to the profession he knew best- becoming a hired sword. Having seen little action, but proving himself as reliable, he struck out on his own after several well paying jobs. He now seeks to gain his fortune in the world, but secretly longs to learn his own brand of magic, and eventually re-gain acceptance with his parents and friends.
