=== [Daegon M. Whateley] ===
An orphaned 
boy with a natural talent for befriending creatures of the wild, Daegon 
grew up in the constantly threatening environment known as the Southern Mainlands. However, this didn't last very long. His adoptive mother had fallen ill, and died shortly after he was adopted, and his adoptive father was reluctant to show any affection for Daegon, yet he continued to take care of him as his wife's final wish. When she died, Daegon's adoptive father set off in a trading caravan, bringing Daegon along with him throughout the Mainlands, allowing him to see much of the mainlands countryside and it's inhabitants. 
Throughout his adolescent years, he spent most of his time slaving around for Morien on his trading caravan, but this allowed him to see much of the Mainlands countryside, and gave him a large interest in traveling, and reading, since a book or two was the only personal thing he could really bring onto the caravan as they went from town to town. Upon reaching puberty, he was interested in girls, but girls didn't seem interested in him with his peculiar tendencies and unattractive face, so it was rare for him to come out of his metaphorical shell to flirt. He just kept his focus on the caravan and working, doing what he thought was right... Until the incidents in Westbrook, which brought him to meet Slitherius, Magenta, and Akurra for the first time. They'd also bring him to the prison of Elysium, where he'd learn Southern Mainlands Boxing, and then would join the Mainlands Military, only to graduate at the top of his class and ascend to the Elysium Black Ops. However, due to a failure in his memory and the death of Johanna Eve, he was severely mentally distraught and deserted the Elysium Black Ops, fleeing the city in his madness with Dachi Tanoshi to be put in the care of an elderly pure-elf sage-monk known as 'The Hermit'.
Under the guidance of 'The Hermit', he took to the Keltharian Jungle and immersed himself within nature. So that he may have a more 'balanced' relationship with the serpent within, and train in the ways of the sage-monk himself. He would sleep under the stars, wrapped in the trees and vines of the jungle, and would meditate often, even going so far as to track rodents and eat them in the same manner snakes do. However, with Osta'gar not very far, the jungle was often littered with trash, thugs, and crusaders, and would have to interact with them in one way or another eventually, thus keeping his humanity grounded and his memories intact. He lives by his own moral code, and does what he sees necessary, to do right by himself, and those that gain his trust and admiration.
He met Christian A. Potentia in the Keltharian Jungle, and upon doing so she asked him to help her in her task of eliminating the bugs from the Southern Mainlands, which in exchange, Christian would bring Daegon with her to the Mountain to train and get stronger. Having a soft-spot for the Southern Mainlands simply because of the memory he has of his adoptive mother, Adeline, he accepted, but gaining strength was a plus. However, after defeating many of the bugs, the pressure from all sides of the Potentia's was too great, and they decided to abandon their mission of saving the Southern Mainlands, deserting their camp and those within it going their own separate ways. Even so, Daegon has been given the task of destroying the bugs by Christian herself, and he still wishes to accomplish this, yet cannot do it alone.. 
He wandered around the Southern Mainlands with that goal in-mind, trying to locate the hive on his own, when he is caught by a small group of the plague swarm in their instinctive route. He'd take most of them down, trying to use the forest and guerilla tactics in his favor, but the remaining two bugs tackle him to the ground and start attacking him with their horns and maw. However, when it seemed the bugs had gotten him, a dagger flew out of the nearby brush to kill one of them, a blind-folded dark elf leaping after it. Daegon would finish the other bug, and the two would exchange names. The dark elf's name was Dethren Izmir, and was from the South, just as he was.. There was something about the elf that seemed off, but in a good way, as if he and Daegon were connected, destined to be friends. Daegon and Dethren were then attacked by Evangeline Argent, and were rescued by Azazel and her Unmei Agents, only to meet back up with William and many others at the Unmei Temple. They recovered from their wounds, and then rekindled their alliance, Dethren and Daegon returning to the Southern Mainlands together to help the House of Potentia remove the bugs, and gain power within the South.
Many battles were fought, against both the bugs and the Silver Snipers hired by MOP to see that their interests were fulfilled, but the group all prevailed, steadily knocking down each problem in their path and gathering more followers from the South and all over the world, such as Dereck and his followers, the Spearhunters of the Mountain, the Men of Stone, and the Inazuma Clan of the Elemental Plains. They set up a base camp that would eventually turn into the gem known as Ezmeralda with the help of all of their allies, and from there finally learned of the Hive's location... In the mountains just behind the city. They gathered their warriors and leaders of the people, and devised a plan to sweep into the Hive and with one push eradicate the bugs. It was difficult, but in the end they succeeded, pushing deep into the hive to face the Queen herself in the heart of her Hive. In the middle of the fight, the queen lashed out with her mandibles and swallowed Daegon whole, leaving him alive within her stomach as hundreds of tiny insects would bite and gnaw at his body from the inside. He'd try and try to dig his way out with his dagger, but he couldn't free himself, the fight continuing on for several minutes with him in there. The final blow on the Queen from Christian A. Potentia was a powerful hit amplified with the power of her shockwave, causing its body to explode, and out came Daegon, dripping in disgusting slime and juices of the Queen of the Plague Swarms.
With the bugs defeated, it was revealed that the massive tree the hive was within was a giant treant, and it gave each of those whom helped cleanse it a powerful gift, Daegon getting a thick wooden bracelet that upon saying the proper Words of Power summons a powerful bow that was one of six carved from the first tree of Keltharia, and once belonged to the same treant when she were an elf. He took the gift with honor and responsibility, swearing that it shall never enter the wrong hands, and then set out with the others to the next step in their lives.. CELEBRATION! The next week, they all retired to the beach in the beautiful Elemental Plains for a beach party, where he met Azazel's sister, Kimiko Inazuma. Throughout the week, he had gotten more and more comfortable with her and the others, and when the week came to a close they all met up somewhere in the Elemental Plains to start their training together. Upon everyone arriving, Nanako began to do a "ritual" of sorts, and as his blades and the wind's speed around them picked up to devastating speeds, one by one each of them were devoured, until finally Daegon himself was consumed into a dark nothingness with a strange falling sensation accompanying it. Suddenly, he wakes up in a strange, vast place, full of nothing but blank white structures and endless nothingness. After a moment or two of adjusting to the surreal place, he'd noticed that he was naked, and upon realizing so, he was able to see the 14 others that were transported in with him were also without clothes.
After wandering around to explore the void that was this land for a while, Christian made to ascend one of the white structures, but was pushed down by some mysterious force. One by one, everyone attempted to ascend, and a pattern was figured out. They needed to go up in a certain order,so they created a human ladder up the structure in order to make it to the top, and upon completing this first test, a man suddenly appeared to them that looked like Nanako. and it was revealed that he was "Guardian Ten," Fate himself, and that they were all in his world now, the Land of Fate. They were then told that they would stay in this world for a century and train the hardest that they've ever trained in their lives, but in the real world perhaps only months would pass by. They all did just that with the first test, where they transported into a world where they must confront their deepest doubts. Daegon learned that his deepest doubt, was loneliness, for he was lonely throughout his entire life, and didn't want to be again. After talking to his younger self about his loneliness, he managed to convince both himself and the younger him that they wouldn't be alone again with all of their friends, passing the first test and moving on to phase two of intensive-training. In Phase Two, he was assigned a partner that he must eat, sleep, bathe, and train with, and he was partnered up with Kimiko Inazuma. 
They'd spend 17 years in this phase, but both would come out sporting new skills and abilities that were never before seen, as they had learned each other's skills in magic, stealth, and archery. They even developed a unique combination of their skills together for a brand new form of ranger, the Arc Ranger, and created an ultimate duo move called the Violet Shower. After all of this was said an done, Daegon began to reflect and realized he felt strangely protective of Kimiko, feelings were brewing within him that he had long since felt, romance. But Daegon being who he is, he couldn't bring himself to come out with his feelings, and instead held them captive within his chest, opting to wait and see if Kimiko felt the same way about him. They completed Phase Two together, but now they had to part ways, as Phase Three was beginning and new teams were assigned. On Daegon's team, were Azumi and Akira Tanoshi, Azumi whom he'd gotten rather close to in the South, and Akira whom he didn't know all that well on a personal level, but still knew her and even a couple of her hobbies. His team was then transported to a strange place that seemed split between two worlds. On one side, was a wide-stretched savannah, and on the other, a beautiful, lush, dark forest. As he began to creep around steathily, he was shot in the chest by an arrow that he's been hit with too many times, the arrow of a silver sniper.
He chased the sniper down, but upon nearing her it waved its hands to signal that she were friendly. After several moments of trying to figure out who it was, it was revealed that it was Azumi, being turned into one of Daegon's fears by an illusion of some sort, and together they set up camp in a small building. They talked for a while during their rest, but upon leaving they set out to retrieve Akira and bring her out of the illusion that made her see them as her fears. Azumi fired a barrage of arrows from afar as Daegon pushed toward her, getting stabbed deep in the chest by Akira's blades.. Despite this, he gave her a hug and at the mention of Seraph, bunnies, and singing, Akira knew that Daegon and Azumi was not her enemy. A massive creature falls out of the sky before them, a hulking abomination of proportions Daegon had never seen before. The three fought it together, and within moments they created a new move, an Ultimate Trio Move: Compressing Headshot, using their techniques in a unique combination that blew the creature's head clean off. One by one Daegon, Akira, and Azumi disappeared from the battleground they were summoned to, and reappeared in the Land of Fate where the others were waiting for Phase 4 to begin.
Everyone was separated into groups of five, Daegon being matched in a group with Chidori, Kimiko, Seraph, and Scientiam, and each were given a specific role within their group. Chidori, was the king-piece, Kimiko the queen-piece, Seraph the knight-piece, Daegon the bishop-piece, and Scientiam the rook-piece. Once more, each group disappeared and was transported to their specific world for training, Daegon's group appearing scattered throughout a city that was deserted, but had traces of a battle. He woke up in a prison cell with a magically sealed door, dazed and confused about where he was. A rotten apple was in his hands as Chidori found him and asked where the others were. Daegon didn't know, and so Chidori set out to find a way to release him. He eventually did, but something wasn't right.. Receiving mixed feelings about walking in the city with Chidori he kept choosing to walk one way over the other, until he was led into a shadowy tunnel. There, it was revealed that an imposter was playing the role of Chidori, and swarms of shadow beings attacked him from every direction. Daegon fought them off as best as he could, but in the end was overwhelmed by them. He awoke in an aura of some kind that was draining him of his energy, and the others were there as well. After learning of the disturbing nature of the world they were in, and the intentions of the false "thems" that were there, the group figured out how to disable the aura, taking out the false Kimiko and Seraph in the process, and fled to the safety of the sunlight where they found a 'base camp' to recuperate. There, Daegon and Kimiko fought and defeated the false Daegon, while Seraph and Scientiam defeated the false Scientiam on the other side of 'base camp.' Finally, the final fake came forward, the false Chidori, but he was just like Chidori in every aspect, so the decision was hard, but eventually Scientiam discovered the true Chidori, and together they defeated the fake. They developed a new move in the heat of battle, an Ultimate Team Attack: Four Blades of the Engulfing Flames.
After completing the fourth phase, one by one they began to disappear again, and soon they all were back in that place of blank space, the Land of Fate. Guardian Ten threw his staff up and down a line, and one by one people would be selected, and choose a partner. Being the last two to be chosen, Daegon was matched with Baradir, and as they ascended the temple they met a door. Daegon, whom would walk into that door with his friend, would eventually be on a empty street, and he'd see before him a few signs and a man standing on the road. Daegon walks over to talk to the man, and asks him for some directions and were they lead, and where exactly where he was since he had no idea. The man replies. "Well, this is Zel'ren proud country of the Elite Xleets... the first path leads to a city that had been war torn for a very long time, the people there are poor and will likely be angry, filled with regret and problems.."The man continues to speak. "The second place my dear traveler is the middle road that leads to the port city of Heth'ares I hear the noble guards are recruiting soldiers, if you fancy yourself a soldier then you should step forward and go." The man goes on to speak. "Lastly is the far left road, that road leads to a forest, far away from anything breathing... it is a dark and gloomy place many fear traveling down that path." The man states "Well traveler, you can't stay here.. which path are you heading down...? So Daegon would travel down the right road and head for the war torn city of Balf'hym. Within his heart the only desire to help people over come their regrets and solve their problems to replace the hatred they feel with passion. And so he would go leaving the man on the fork road behind as he heads down a unknown road upon arriving in soon he'd see a city that looked as though war has ravaged it for a very long time, he would find no friends as he had passed through, everyone looking at him as if he was some sort of enemy here to take what little they had. Daegon wanting to help would ask around town to see if he could come across any leads that might help. To find that the people desired many things only able to do so much he would have to lower down his aim to three task.
Prioritizing food, water, and housing he would go on hunts alone, luckily a good survivalist knows the hunt well and he brought home food, but it wasn't enough... At least not yet, though it inspired people to come and learn the hunt, so Daegon would teach them to hunt. Though not trusting him, he began to sway them over very slowly. He then would try to build a well, he dug, and dug every day, the people watched him thinking himself crazy, though this did not stop him lucky he was a dedicated man and could not be so easily strayed from his beliefs. He then would cut lumber and bring it back to the villagers, he'd begin repairing the buildings of the people, some refused his help but others would just let him do whatever it is that he wanted to do. Times passed and his relationships grew with the band he named 'The Order of Friends' it wasn't long before they become very close and as he continued to try to do the task alone of rebuilding the town and building the well suddenly he found himself surrounded by his Order of Friends. Kari, Liand, Kanok, and Fella had become closer and closer to their leader and aided him in the task as they came. The years passed and he of course choose to visit the tavern yearly. Soon the village would slowly get back to life, the well would finally be finished, more and more people rally around his cause. Joining this order of friendship. His friends would invite him to stay in their homes so he never had to worry about sleep should he take it and so he choose, so he choose to camp outside not wanting to be a burden to the villagers, but alas his hunters would not allow him to be alone, and each of them left their homes and gave it to people whom needed it as they camped with their leader, and their friends. The days that followed continue to be a challenge but not without each year passing it becoming more and more easier as the burden wasn't left to him alone as more townsmen picked up the duty of the town. So to the people began to get closer as a community. 
Shortly after visitors would arrive asking if they could stay, the village had the choice to decide if they wanted to allow villages to pass or to keep them out. They'd come to Daegon for answers and he'd advise them that they should let the travelers through, and so they did. And after so many years this helped restore the town, but it came with it's fair share of problems as Daegon would soon find out. His friends would ask him to spend the New Years Eve with them, but he declined to visit Baradir in the tavern. Though the village was blossoming with life, eventually crime filled the streets and the villagers, merchants, and townsmen that had dwelled within had never learned how to properly defend themselves the city was in constant threat by these thieves and criminals. Your hunters not able to stand for this anymore demand of you to take action; they want to use violence to run them out of town or kill them if need be. The once band of hunters dubbed the order of friendship no more would they be a common band of hunters so they tossed aside their old name, and dubbed themselves as "Nightsong Archers" and so they hunted down the criminal scum in the following years together as a team.. the villagers thanked Daegon for he was right about not doing anything as a 'Hero' as they'd call the Nightsong archers came to their rescue. The following year Daegon would be asked by the blue hair women, his friend whom had hunted with him and now is apart of his shadow hero group ask to accompany him on this new years, to were ever it is he goes each year she said it could be like a date; it does seem sort of fun he'd think, and there's always the chance Baradir wouldn't show up again and so he choose instead to have them spend a beautiful night together in Balf'hym and they did, after many drinks, what began at a bar ended in a bedroom, kissing passionately up the two step stairs before fumbling with the keys blindly until the door finally opened, he would pick her off her feet, and hold her as he moves into her home, laying her down kissing her body before spreading her legs... it was an unforgettable night... And easily the best New Years he'd had in a long time... 
Everything becomes peaceful during the daylight and at night the Nightsong archers would be hard at 
work, Daegon finding himself coming closer to his friends many even seeing him as a brother and he to seeing them the same. Though soon things would change as rumor of the king coming to visit the city would spread. But it wouldn't be for many years to come, the village was excited and you and your friends continued to train. In the following years as peace spread through the village so they would leave into the forest, the entire Nightsong group, and down the path in search for something else; adventure. But the years rolled around again and it was time to head to the tavern yet as he put on his dark green hood and headed towards to the tavern's path, he would be grabbed, a starry night as she bats her beautiful eye lashes to him she begins feeling emotional, she shouts at him. "Please, don't leave, not this night... I.. won't ask for you to not go next time... I promise but please... if you care about me.. care about me at all you'll stay with me... please.." she begs him nearly crying clearly holding back tears. He'd choose to stay with her, and once more they had a lovely night together.. The next day, he'd journey around the country side, aiding those that would need his help, going to place to place adventuring about as far and wide as he could. It had been quite a while since he last saw that tavern dubbed "The Edge of Reality," yet he didn't worry about it nor did he reflect much on what remained there. Daegon continued to live you life as he did, and eventually he was told on a beach that Kari had been with child. To his amazement that he could indeed have a life here, Daegon would look at her and told everyone it was time leave for Balf'hym, where he and Kari had first met. And so they agreed and would pack up their stuff, it had been many years since they had last seen the city of Balf'hym and they were curious to know what became of it since they last saw, but it wasn't amazement that would widen their eyes as they approached it...
It was not happiness that would bring tears to their eyes... As Daegon looked ahead, he saw the city that he shed blood for, that he shed sweat for.. Burnt down to a crisp, smoke filling the air around them, and the walls brought down... No longer was the city protected. Daegon couldn't tell but people are suffering, and upon getting closer this would prove true, as people were sick, starving, and there wasn't much left of the city of Balf'hym. Upon asking how this happened they stated that it was the king's men whom attacked Balf'hym on order of the decree of the king. Not able to go anywhere else he began to once again help the towns people rebuild, and so you each continue to try to rebuild the town but not getting very far before the New Years rolled around, were you began to think of the tavern that once was, yet something happened.. Kari became sick, and he didn't know why but then that very same night she went in labor... He thought of Baradir and how long it's been since he'd last seen the tavern but this is your child, your child whom is about to be born in this world... So he would have to make a choice to see his child born into this world or visit the tavern and the friend he had not seen in years... But Daegon could not leave his woman behind nor his unborn child, so he stayed with her and on that same night his beautiful daughter was born, given the name "Trinity" meaning three to represent their family that was 3.... Trinity was born on 10:05 pm the final day of the final bloom of the year 18023 in the country of Zel'ren on this world of Celaria.  
On a busy afternoon a few of Daegon's hunters go to you angry and outraged by the crimes of the king, they had said there was no reason that the king gave to the people before besieging Balf'hym, they demanded answers and retribution. They reminded him that they were the Nightsong archers, they were heroes through the land, and must make a choice to cower before the king or to start a much needed rebellion. They implored him to rebel, for what would happen if they attacked and his daughter had been in the city. So he would grab his bow tell his Nightsong archers to stay in the city, he'd spend one last night with his girl as he heads out and grabs a horse and races towards the capital, many days pass, years as he fights the king's men in the shadows as he moves to settlement to settlement freeing places from the king's tyrannical ways, but ultimately one man can not take on a kingdom and Daegon was eventually captured taken to the capital city where he was thrown behind bars awaiting execution. After spending what felt like years in a cell he'd finally see the light as you were dragged out on the streets, the people of the city throwing trash, eggs, and rotten food at Daegon... He had endure it all as he where taken to the gallows and pushed forward. They'd put a noose around his neck and they'd not even give the privilege of your final farewells... The door beneath him released, and he began to fall... But...through the many years that have passed it wasn't Baradir's face that he saw as his life flashed before his eyes, it wasn't your friend back on Keltheria that you were worried for.. Daegon saw his brothers, all their faces ending with Kari's face, and his daughter, Trinity's face. Just as everything went black and he began to feel the rope tightening, an arrow cut it.. A black arrow, a Nightsong's arrow. He'd look around gasping for air, moving quickly as his brothers come for him, tossing bottled liquids at the buildings to create flames, they'd each run for their lives but, Kanok didn't make it, though the group was saved because of his actions. In the following days Daegon would head back to the villages he had saved and with the help of the Nightsong archers he brought them to gather in a rebel alliance, they would come together and attack the city, the king fearing his life stayed locked behind doors with his armed guard. 
Five years passed and the war still waged on, Daegon had pushed forward with all his might and broke through the outer walls, but they were now at a stand still fighting for the inner walls... It had been 10 years since he last seen his daughter, and as he fought he wondered how she's doing without him... He becomes quite sad, realizing that he had left his daughter alone just as he was as a child, but he knows that this is whats right... He knows he had to do this. The fight continues to wage on without end, and the final push for the inner walls was successful, yet after that remained the inner-keep. The war had cost many lives, but the people are boiled, and stopping this war would be difficult now... Thus the war continued as he believed he had to make this world a safe place for his daughter whom he had not seen in going on to 15 years, the battle waged on and the inner-walls were taken, the most fortified place remains... the keep. The people are tired they need a leader, yet this is the final year... Months roll around and he knows it had been 40 years since he'd first came here, and with only a month remaining, but the war had yet to come to and end. He sees no way that he could bring the walls down before the final month on the final day, of the final month, on the final year... He sits, he begins to shed tears, no matter how hard he tried ... He couldn't end the war in time... So he assures those that were there to continue fighting, and sets out to see his family one last time, before he must leave them all forever. He reaches their home, and tries to explain things to his wife and daughter and let them know that he loves them, but they do not understand why he must leave... They are his family, why would he leave them like this? He is scolded heavily by Kari, being reminded that she had once told him that she'd walk through a hundred hells for him only for him to betray their family like this.. But his heartbreak is worsened by his daughter, as she admits that she hates him, and loathes him for leaving her alone all of her life just to flee like a coward. She throws a necklace that she had made for him when she was five at him, and they both demand that he leave and never come back. And so through his gloom, he gave them that one last request, to leave and never return.. 
At 11:53 PM, just a few minutes before the tavern would have closed for good, Daegon entered the tavern, his head hanging low as he clutches the necklace Trinity had made for him at the age of five. He looks over to Baradir silently, a deeply saddened and sorrowful expression on his face, and then to the glowing door that was the exit. "We're cutting it close, it's time to go." Baradir states as he nods to the door. "Yeah..." Daegon croaked out, his voice breaking after not having spoken for the hours it took to reach the tavern. "... Yeah..." Baradir only stared at Daegon for a moment, deciding that it was best not to ask as he was clearly going through something, and they both make their way to the door. A bright white light envelopes both them and the tavern as they both disappear, but as they do Daegon seems to enter a place with only him and one other person in it, the God of Fate. They spoke of what he had learned and accomplished in the world of Celaria, and if what he would change if he had the chance to. "I wouldn't have left my family all alone... I'd have found a way to be with them... All of them. But... My choices bring me here. And I need to live with them..." After a long silence, the God of Fate chose to give Daegon a personal gift, something that would help him in the future, the infinity quiver. A quiver that when reached into, can pull out an infinite amount of arrows of various types, and even acquire new types of arrows by simply placing the arrow within the quiver. For Daegon, the arrows were of a tactical nature; explosive, non-lethal, bola arrows, and even grappling hook arrows that would allow him to get up, down, or around his obstacles much much faster. Finally returning to Keltheria, Daegon had one thing in mind, redemption. He wanted to atone for what he had done to his family on Celaria, and sought to help those of Keltheria with their problems. Slowly but surely with each small accomplishment, he was becoming his old self again, cracking jokes and helping where he can, even joining the Unmei Black Ops as an opportunity to do so, taking two missions right from the start that brought him back to Elysium, the city where he once lived and trained in. One dealt with finding someone who was claiming to be the Green Arrow, and the other missions involved terrorism in Elysium. Daegon assumed they were connected, and immediately left for the city. 
He spent years tracking down suspects and leads that would bring him to the imposter Arrow, halting common thugs and lowly criminals in his free time, and met another vigilante who called himself Deadpool. He was elusive, but Daegon managed to acquire a lead from him, and he directed Daegon to a pure elven man that supposedly worked for the imposter. He tracked the guy down, and eventually grabbed him by the throat to get the answers he needed, "Who is the imposter trying to be me?! And don't make me ask twice.." But just as he was about to give up the imposter's identity, an arrow went straight into his skull. "She's right here." He turns around and looks at the woman, "So you're the one thinking your serving justice up by killing everyone using MY name, right?" She responds, "I don't care about justice, I used this name to lure you out... Father." She fires an icy blue, glowing arrow at him, and it hits him in the arm. His arm begins to freeze over and as he goes to flee, she fires another arrow that wraps around him tightly, keeping him held captive and helpless as she stood over him. She stomped on his arm and it shattered, but wasn't healing, the ice was canceling his regeneration factor. It took a few moments for it to process as he looked up to her darkened face beneath her green hood. "...Trinity?" She pulls back her hood to show her face to him, "So you remember me after all... Oh well, it doesn't matter. You're dead." She draws another arrow with an icy blue glow about it, and fires it at his head, but as the arrow travels a shuriken flies down from one of the rooftops and redirects the arrow away from Daegon. It was Deadpool. As he blinked down to the scene Trinity fled on Daegon's motorcycle, Cobra, but with muttering the phrase, "Izanagi," flames melted away the ice that was stopping Daegon's regeneration and his arm began to regrow, he knew he was a Raiha, a relative of Azazel's. The two then made a deal to help each other track down Trinity, somewhat becoming friends in the process, or so he thought. 
(WIP) 
=== [Appearance] ===
Slightly shorter than the average human, with a slim, athletic build, Daegon at one time wasn't exactly the prettiest man in Keltharia, and acknowledged that fact, but found a beauty potion and drank it one day in a random fit of happiness. He has dark circles under his eyes from many nights of restlessness, and often leaves his hair unkempt due to how wild it grows. He keeps himself clean shaven in the face, with the occasional stubble needing to be removed with the edge of his dagger. His eyes are of a bright Aqua color, and his hair a rich Purple, however he always has a hat upon his head, a hat that he holds dear to him. Around his neck is a necklace that he often clutches onto, he doesn't like to talk about the necklace, but when approached by the right person he will open up about it. His skin tone is naturally fair, almost pale but not quite there. He's often focusing on doing what he feels is necessary or correct by his morals, stopping murders, robberies, and other small-time criminals while also making spare time to take Unmei Black Ops missions and have the occasional drink with his good friend Baradir. He can be seen as a jokester to those who are close to him, but is often seen as 'that creepy guy' by others, due to his slightly snakelike nature and his tendency to stare at random things or people around him. 
=== [Voice] ===
left|thumb|330x330px|Daegon's Voice, and his Inner Voices. 
(Sei'lim, and Subject Twenty.)
His voice is rough with an odd giddiness, and can get a bit high-pitched at times, but suits him well when he cracks jokes and tries to be charismatic. However, when his attitude changes, so too does his voice and tone. When serious, his voice grows deeper, more sinister.. When angered, his voice's rough nature truly comes out, and varies in pitch as he speaks with an uncontrollably, an odd, shaky giggle being heard behind its roughness. He tries to be a jokester when the occasion allows it, often spouting out jokes and messing with people, but doesn't typically open up to people he doesn't know. However, there are on a few occasions, instances where he breaks out of his social silence and lets all who are near him hear what he has it say, such as when he is extremely angry or frustrated.. Or when he's in a state of excitement, happiness, and joy.
== Personality and Relationships ==
=== [Personality] ===
===== Childhood (Age 3-12) =====
As a boy, Daegon was very confused and alone, not truly knowing his identity or having anyone that cared for him. He could not remember his own name, and when he was placed into an orphanage, he was abused. The children would make fun of him daily for a variety of things, such as being ugly, not having a name, having funny hair, the normal insults children dish out to one another when making fun.. But not only did the children abuse him, the orc woman running the orphanage would beat him and the other children, forcing the children to eat dirt, worms, and all sorts of disgusting, vile things. But for some reason, Daegon never got a break from anyone. This caused him to shun contact with most people, rathering the company of little snakes and critters over people themselves. He'd always somehow had the ability to speak the language of his serpent friends, it seeming rather natural for him, but never did it in front of anyone else, scared that it'd give them another reason to pick on him. 
===== Adolescence (Age 12-14) =====
Throughout his adolescent years, he spent most of his time slaving around for Morien on his trading caravan, but this allowed him to see much of the Mainlands countryside, and gave him a large interest in traveling, and reading, since a book or two was the only personal thing he could really bring onto the caravan as they went from town to town. Upon reaching puberty, he was interested in girls, but girls didn't seem interested in him with his peculiar tendencies and unattractive face, so it was rare for him to come out of his metaphorical shell to flirt. He just kept his focus on the caravan and working, doing what he thought was right... Until the incidents in Westbrook, which brought him to meet Slitherius, Magenta, and Akurra for the first time.
===== Adolescent/Young Adult (Age 14-16) =====
However the path he found was an even more violent one, killing a couple of people and getting locked into prison for it, but with an easy sentence since he pleaded guilty. For a few months he served his sentence, dabbling in some Southern Mainlands Boxing with a friend he made in there, until one day he awoke in his cell with two papers on the stone floor, and a pen. One of the papers was an offer to join the Crusade instead of serving the rest of his prison sentence, and the other was an offer to join the Mainlands Military. There, he met his first love-interest, Johanna Eve, and developed something of a crush on her after training with her and spending so much time with her, since they were in the same squad. However, his memory began to fail him, and he'd begin to black out, falling asleep one day and seemingly waking up days, weeks, months, and even years later without the slightest clue as to why. This caused him to doubt his sanity for a while, watching his days disappear without any memory of them..
===== Young Adult/ Adult (Age 16-18) =====
Upon learning how to remember that which he had forgotten, Daegon battled with the things of his mind, and slowly felt himself becoming more human with each victory over them. But under the guidance of 'The Hermit', he took to the Keltharian Jungle and immersed himself within nature, so that he may have a more 'balanced' relationship with the serpent within. He would sleep under the stars, wrapped in the trees and vines of the jungle, and would meditate often, even going so far as to track rodents and eat them in the same manner snakes do. However, with Osta'gar not very far, the jungle was often littered with trash, thugs, and crusaders, and would have to interact with them in one way or another eventually, thus keeping his humanity grounded and his memories intact.
===== Adult (Age 18-20) =====
He lives by his own moral code, and does what he sees necessary, to do right by himself, and those that gain his trust and admiration. When taking down a group of bandits trying to kidnap some children playing in the jungle, a half-elven woman appeared from the brush about 25 yards away, and shot a tiger in mid-air that leapt from the undergrowth to attack Daegon, killing it with one shot. She'd then her barrel to the last bandit left, which was being grappled within Daegon's arms, shooting him straight between the eyes. She'd introduce herself as, "Christian A. Potentia." And then holster her gun, simply standing there sizing him up as he looted the bandits' bodies and dragged them into the undergrowth to be taken by nature. He'd approach and introduce himself as she did, "Daegon M. Whateley," and would tip his hat to her in a generous fashion. Understanding that they live by similar moral codes, the two set off for the Southern Mainlands where they'd accomplish great things together. After succeeding in their campaign in the South, Daegon gained a great confidence boost, and gained many allies and friends.. People that he even could call a family, however dysfunctional it was, so they celebrated. At the celebration, he met even more people, but the most notable was his meeting of Kimiko Inazuma. They danced, and talked with each other throughout their week of celebration, developing a friendship rather quickly since they had many qwerky similarities, until the time for their training finally came.
===== Adult (Age 20-24) =====
After succeeding in their campaign in the South, Daegon gained a great confidence boost, and gained many allies and friends.. People that he even could call a family, however dysfunctional it was, so they celebrated. At the celebration, he met even more people, but the most notable was his meeting of Kimiko Inazuma. They danced, and talked with each other throughout their week of celebration, developing a friendship rather quickly since they had many qwerky similarities, until the time for their training finally came. Nanako performed a dangerous ritual and wound up losing control of it, transporting him to a place known as the Land of Fate, where they'd undergo incredible training for a hundred years, though in the normal world of Keltheria it was just one year. During his training he gained many abilities and skills, such as learning to use magic and using it to make a new fighting style all together, the Arc Ranger, creating incredible combo moves with his many allies, and even having the long since dormant feeling of romance awaken within him with his manifesting feelings for Kimiko.. But something changed in him during the final phase of training. 
For 40 long years, he was on a new world entirely, Celaria, a war-torn place where he made many allies and strived to do good for the people there so long as he was there as well. He developed a brotherhood with his closest friends on Celaria, becoming known as the Nightsong Archers, but as time and struggle there slowly began to distract him from those he cared for on Keltheria, he began having feelings for one of his close friends. A beautiful blue-haired woman named Kari Pridgeridge. He even went so far as to have a child with her, a beautiful daughter whom he named Trinity, named because of their inseparable family of three. However, as the people demanded a rebellion, his daughter's safety was in jeopardy, so he was forced to leave the two of them and lead the rebellion against a tyrannical king. He fought long and hard, for over fifteen years he was away from his daughter, fighting hard to end the tyranny that was holding onto this land, but as victory neared, time was too short. He couldn't end the war in time to make it back to Keltheria, and he realized he had fallen in too deep. 
He wasn't supposed to be on Celaria, he was born on Keltheria with a purpose that he has yet to fulfill, but his family... He couldn't just leave them like that.. He had to at least say goodbye. So he abandoned the final battle, allowing for the people to earn the opportunity of toppling the tyranny themselves with only the inner-keep left, and went to explain everything to his wife and daughter in hopes that they would understand that he tried. This completely backfired, as they both called Daegon a coward and expressed their seething hatred and loathing of him for leaving them for so long only to return and abandon them again. His daughter threw to him a necklace that she made when she was just five years old, and they both commanded Daegon to get out of their lives, and so he left with only his painful memories and the his daughter's necklace to remind him of his second failure at a family. Despite having made so much progress and gaining an entire lifetime of experience, he wishes now more than ever to be left alone to deal with the guilt and sadness he feels for giving his own daughter the same childhood he had, a lonely one.
Eventually, as the next few years passed, he kept trying to help people to make amends for what he had done, and was slowly getting back to his old, goofy self, and had even joined the Unmei Black Ops as a way to try and make Keltheria a better place. He was assigned two missions that would bring him to Elysium, one involved terrorism in Elysium, multiple known corrupt government officials were assassinated by a person with a bow. And the other, involved someone claiming to be The Green Arrow. It was assumed that they were connected, and he set off to complete his missions and bring justice to what was once his city.
===== Adult (Age 24-34) =====
He spent years tracking down suspects and leads that would bring him to the imposter Arrow, halting common thugs and lowly criminals in his free time, and met another vigilante who called himself Deadpool. He was elusive, but Daegon managed to acquire a lead from him, and he directed Daegon to a pure elven man that supposedly worked for the imposter. He tracked the guy down, and eventually grabbed him by the throat to get the answers he needed, "Who is the imposter trying to be me?! And don't make me ask twice.." But just as he was about to give up the imposter's identity, an arrow went straight into his skull. "She's right here." He turns around, and tries to talk with her, but she manages to immobilize him and nearly kills him as she revealed her identity to Daegon, Trinity Whateley. However, Deadpool intervened and saved Daegon's life, the two somewhat becoming friends within the next few weeks. They agreed to help each other track down Trinity and so they did until a day of peace came, a day of celebration for the whole world. The day of celebrating The Joker's Fall! The city and the people were all at peace with one another as the leaders of the world gathered in Elysium and all had a good time.

He did this when he was this and grew up to this., etc, etc, etc.
=== [Relationships] ===
==== Dachi Tanoshi ====
-Though Daegon at first only knew of him from reading books, he was able to meet 'The Silver Flash' when in a a deep sadness and state of insanity, however, Dachi Tanoshi saved him from his insanity with the Unmei no Me. He feels he must pay Dachi back for practically giving him a new life, and a new purpose that he could call his own. After the events of the Infected Future Arc, he felt he was finally able to repay his debt to Dachi by helping him prevent the world's demise, and not only still sees Dachi as one of his heroes, but can now see him as one of his peers... A legend of Keltheria.
==== Nanako Tanoshi ====
-Meeting him originally at the Grand Opening of the World Faire, Daegon didn't care for Nanako very much, with his fucked up sense of humor and very upfront ways, but upon running into him again later in life in the South, he feels he's obtained a friendship with the samurai, having had a couple of years to get to know him during the mission of clearing out the bug threat. He once saw him as powerful ally, and something like a mentor since he's helped and has continued to help train Daegon and push him in a good direction for so long, but upon hearing of what Nanako had done to his daughter, giving her power in exchange for her humanity, his image of Nanako was changed. He felt betrayed and disgusted at how his supposed friend had twisted his daughter into a vengeance-hungry monster, and vowed to get his daughter's humanity back by any means necessary. (WIP)
==== Kenchi Tanoshi ====
-Originally meeting him in the South, Daegon at first thought Kenchi was an asshole, having made a few sly comments and tricked Daegon into making a few mistakes, but time only brought them closer. Over the years, Daegon has joined the Unmei Black Ops and worked with the Tanoshi's and Kenchi through many conflicts, including the final battle of the Infected Future Arc. Though he sometimes pushes some of Kenchi's buttons, Daegon thinks of Kenchi as one of his closest friends and would fight beside him at the drop of a hat.
==== Azazel 'no' Inazuma-Tanoshi ====
-As many boys do, Daegon remembers the first woman he kissed at the young age of 9, at the Grand Opening of the World Faire. This happened during one of the many games that went on there. However, he did not remember the elf's name. 
Upon joining many other fighters from all around Keltharia on the airship during the Luna Isle campaign, he'd browse amongst them while strolling around, and would spot Azazel, later observing her fight during combat with interest. He'd later run into her again at the Potentia Campsite in the Southern Mainlands, and considers her a very powerful ally due to her displays of power and mind on the battlefield of Luna Isle, and her display of mind during the fight in the South. Since then their relationship only grew closer, and as of now she and a handful others could be considered some of his closest and best friends.
==== Kimiko Inazuma ====
-After completing the campaign in the Southern Mainlands and freeing the land from the Plague Swarms, Daegon left with his friends to celebrate on the beautiful beaches of the Elemental Plains, where he met Kimiko. The celebration lasted a whole week, and they danced, joked, swam and talked with each other throughout it, developing a friendship rather quickly since they had many qwerky similarities, until the time for their training finally came. Upon being transported to the Land of Fate with Daegon, the two were paired together for the Second Phase of their training, the catch of the Second Phase being that the partners had to eat, sleep, bathe, and train together. So they did, and there they both traded skills and abilities, learning from both and developing their unique abilities into a new fighting style all together, thus creating the Arc Ranger. Together, their friendship continued to flourish as they also continued training,and created a Duo Combo move called, "The Violet Shower." And as their 17 training session came to a close, he felt a strange butterfly-like feeling in his torso. The long dormant feeling of romance came back to him, but Daegon being who he is didn't act on these feelings, instead opting to hold them in until he knew she felt the same way. 
 They both went their separate ways for Phase Three, but were matched again in a five-person team during Phase Four. There he began to show small signs of his growing affections for her, getting a bit protective over her when someone tried to boss her around, or say things about her that he didn't like, and as Phase Four ended and the Final Phase began, she kissed him on the cheek, reinforcing his hope for a future relationship with her. However, his time on the world of Celaria during the Final Phase would change him, and over the course of 20 years on this new world, his feelings of romance for Kimiko were distracted, and he fell in love with a blue-haired woman named Kari Prideridge, whom he would have a child with. He spent a couple of years with her and his daughter, before he needed to leave to fight in a rebellion that would secure a safe future for them long after he was gone. During the final 15 or so years, he fought intensively against the tyranny of the king, but in the end he couldn't end the war in time to make it back to Keltheria. He remembered Kimiko, the promise he made to protect her, the bonds he made with all of his friends back home, and shed a tear as he left this world and abandoned his family, returning to the place he was meant to be, Keltheria.
==== Christian A. Potentia ====
-He first met her at the Grand Opening of the World Faire, when his father Morien Whateley bought him a ticket before Adeline's passing, but he remembers meeting her in the Keltharian Jungle as he was taking down a small group of bandits that were trying to kidnap children to sell on the Black Market. As he grappled the last bandit to try and extract information from him, a large tiger leapt out from the nearby brush to pounce on Daegon and the bandit. But Christian stood there with her gun in-hand, and fired once upon the tiger as it was mid-flight, finishing it with one shot, before 
quickly turning the barrel to the bandit's face, being held still by Daegon's headlock, and pulling the trigger. The two introduced themselves, and she asked Daegon to help her with the bug problem in the Southern Mainlands, which Daegon agreed to do for the sake of gaining strength, and due to a soft-spot in his heart for the South. They both agreed, and headed out to the Potentia Campsite in the Southern Mainlands, where they and many others gathered together to eventually finish the task of defeating the bugs. Many years passed and their relationship steadily grew, and as she became the new leader of the Black Ops he joined the Black Ops behind her. However, after the events between Nanako and Daegon in the Boneyard realm took place, Daegon began to dislike her for her blind love of him, and has not talked to her since.
==== William R. Potentia ====
-Daegon met William upon following Christian, William's mother, into the original Potentia Campsite in the Southern Mainlands. There he would take a natural liking to William, finding his funny, and outspoken personality a good asset for a friend to have. Upon hearing about the things that the Elysium Black Ops did to the Potentia family, he was shocked, and due to his past in the Elysium Black Ops, vowed to himself that he will help the Potentias, and will help William become the "King of the South." He feels like he can relate more to William, not only due to their similar disliking of both Nanako and Christian's behavior together, but also because they have both experienced a loss, and recovery of one's self. Having spent a couple of years with him in the South, Daegon has grown somewhat close to William, and would help him at the drop of a hat should William ever need him. However, after the events of the Infected Future Arc, William lost much of Daegon's respect for abandoning the battle for the docks and causing thousands of people to die in the process. They are still friends, but Daegon may never look at William the same again.
==== Fellex Burningspear ====
-Upon the Grand Opening of the World Faire, he first met Fellex Burningspear, though he doesn't remember much from his time there. But he remembers meeting him upon the airship during the Luna Isle campaign, orchestrated by the Crusade, and headed with Dalkillian himself, where Fellex led a squad of men upon the battle field. He has a respect for Fellex and what he stands for, and considers him an ally, and friend, and would fight beside him in battle should he only ask for it. 
==== Baradir Burningspear ====
-Meeting him originally as a kid at the Grand Opening of the World Faire, Baradir pushed Daegon over trying to skip him in line for one of the games, and his hat landed in a wet patch of mud. He remembered Baradir's face for the future... Another bully that he'd need revenge on when he's older, he thought to himself, but as he got older he dropped the childish grudge, not really thinking he'd ever run into the guy again. Upon venturing to Valignatir for the recruitment of another Burningspear to help against the Plague Swarms with the Tanoshi's, he ran into that guy again, immediately remembering why he disliked him upon speaking to him for 15 seconds... And it just so happened that he was the Burningspear recruited for the job. On the boat ride back to the South, Baradir's mouth was a loose cannon, and as a result he was tied up in rope and thrown overboard by Nanako, Daegon being given the wonderful job of watching him and making sure he doesn't die. He enjoyed lifting him and dropping him into the water as the ship sailed hastily toward the South, as it took some anger he had built up over the years out. 
Upon entering the Land of Fate, they didn't interact a whole lot, but during the Final Phase they were partners and had to return to a tavern known as "The Edge of Reality" once a year to help keep the other person grounded to Keltheria, so they don't choose to stay in the other world that they go to. The first few years they showed up and talked with each other there regularly, and got along rather well, which was strange for them.. But after Baradir was captured as a Slave in his world and could not return, Daegon gave up on coming back to the tavern and dug himself deeper and deeper into a hole that would be painful to get out of. With only a few minutes left to return before the tavern was to close forever and he would be lost in the world of Celaria, Daegon entered the tavern where Baradir was. The two were completely different compared to who they were when they first entered the tavern, Baradir much more muscular and disciplined, and Daegon much more calloused to affection and emotion for having lost those he cares about for the second time now. To put it simply, Daegon didn't like Baradir much at first, but after having spent a lot of time with him he acknowledges Baradir as his best friend and rival that can compete with, connecting the similarities of their hardships, and understanding that they aren't all that different from one another.

=== [Fighting Styles] ===
==== Martial Arts ====
===== Southern Mainlands Boxing =====
-Upon getting locked up from his actions in Westeros, he would box with his fellow inmates in the Elysium Prison, eventually becoming quite good at the technique and beating many of his competitors, before being released to join the Mainlands Military. However, he had the option to become a fighter, a ranger, or an enforcer, and he made his choice based on the preference of stealth and speed over being openly brawny.
===== Dragon's Barrage =====
-He learned this fighting technique while on the world of Celaria, fighting against the power of a mad, tyrannical king. Upon joining the Unmei Black Ops, his mastery of this martial art only improved as he trained amongst his peers and learned new little tricks.
==== Ranger ====
-Once in the Mainlands Military, he chose to not take the up-close-and-personal route, and chose to attack from the shadows by training with the bow and arrow. His skill with the bow quickly surpassed his Boxing abilities as he preferred to take out his target before it had the opportunity to get in his face, even going so far as to ask his Drill Sergeant to apply him for Elysium Black Ops as a sarcastic joke that'd inevitably come true. His skill was brought to even greater lengths there, but his memories of training are lost to him. 
Upon deserting the Elysium Black Ops and falling to the madness of himself Daegon was saved by both Dachi Tanoshi, and the Hermit, and later would continue to hone his archery in the wilds of the Keltharian Jungle with each and every day almost like therapy, constantly needing to use it and get better from the constant threats that lurk there. Although he prefers to combat with his bow, he constantly is practicing both his melee and ranged fighting styles to keep them both on-point. It is even said that he can catch a single falling drop of water on the head of one of his arrows, or catch an incoming arrow mid-flight and fire it back at the opponent in the blink of an eye.
===== Jade Ranger =====
-He acquired the skills of the Jade Ranger after his daughter, Sera Whateley, found a Book of the Jade Ranger in a mysterious place only known as the Jade Era.
===== Pyro-Ranger =====
-After completing his mission in the Southern Mainlands Christian Potentia gave him a tome, and upon opening it he acquired the knowledge of the Blazing Ranger, able to set his arrows alight at will, fire incendiary arrows, and explosive arrows. More tricks that he was glad to have added to his arsenal. 
===== Arc-Ranger =====
-During his time in the Land of Fate, he underwent intense physical, and mental training, and developed a new way of fighting all together, the Arc Ranger, with his training partner Kimiko Inazuma. These techniques brought magic and archery together to form a deadly combo of skill and precision, adding more "oomf" to the impact of his arrows, allowing him to turn one arrow, into hundreds of arcane arrows, and even shoot around corners and obstacles with ease. 
===== Dark Ranger =====
-Daegon's time on Celaria allowed him to learn many things, including how to adapt to dark environments and see through the darkness to find the target needed. He can see clearly as if it were day for him at night and shows no hindrance when firing his bow in the darkness as his arrows themselves turn black with a visible darkness cloaking them.
==== Magic ====
===== Arcane Magic =====
-Learning his first spell from Kyoko Inazuma which helped replace Daegon's clothing after he rebirths, he became intrigued by arcane magic, and during the Land of Fate Arc he learned how to cast a plethora of spells from Kimiko Inazuma.
===== Battle Magic =====
-After learning Arcane Magic, Daegon's intrigue with magic only grew and he continued on to learn Battle Magic from Kimiko Inazuma during the Land of Fate Arc.
===== Jade Magic =====
-He acquired the knowledge and abilities to cast Chi Magic after his daughter, Sera Whateley, found a Book of the Jade Mage in a mysterious place only known as the Jade Era.
==== Bladed Combat ====
===== Rogue =====
-Naturally sneaky and trained to be a rogue in the Elysium Black Ops, and Land of Fate, he is very quick and stealthy and deadly with daggers and throwing daggers alike. 
===== Swordsman =====
-Also trained to be an excellent swordsman by the Tanoshi clan once he joined the Unmei Black Ops, his versatility seems to know no end as he can hold his ground against even some of the best swordsmen when wielding a katana, and can even slice an incoming enemy arrow in half if it were to be coming at him head on.
==== Dragon-Knight ====
===== Venom Dragon-Knight =====
-After being given a Book of the Venom Dragon-Knight by Eric, Daegon opened the book and was magically imbued with the powers of a venom dragon-knight, allowing him to breathe flame, spit venom, and can even transform into a Venom Drake for a short time.
==== Sage-Monk ====
===== Serpent =====
-Upon learning of his past with the help of the renowned sage-monk known as, The Hermit, Daegon began the journey of the Sage-Monk in the Keltharian Jungle with The Hermit's guidance. After the events of the Infected Future Arc, Daegon sacrificed himself for the good of the world, and in return he was finally merged with Sal'ahim. Now able to shapeshift into his snake form, his sage powers are awakened and he is one step closer to recovering his son, Akurra.
===== Snow (Winter's Form) =====
-During the Winter season many odd things are known to happen, but Daegon and a handful of others were brought to a mysterious place called Winterland, where Daegon tagged along with his good friends to help the people that lived there. In the end, they saved the Winterland's guardian, Santa Claus, and he was rewarded with a gift, Santa's Rune. This rune gives Daegon immunity from the cold, and allows him to use Sage Art: Winter's Form, which gives him power over snow and ice while in the form.

==== [Chronicles of Daegon: A Shaky Past] ====
===== Toddler/Young Child (Age 2-7) =====
As a boy, Daegon was very confused, not truly knowing his identity. He could not remember his own name, so he gave himself one.. And when he was placed into an orphanage, he was abused. The children would make fun of him daily for a variety of things, such as being ugly, not having a name, having funny hair, the normal insults children dish out to one another when making fun.. But not only did the children abuse him, the orc woman running the orphanage would beat him and the other children, forcing the children to eat dirt, worms, and all sorts of disgusting, vile things. But for some reason, Daegon never got a break from anyone. This caused him to shun contact with most people, rathering the company of little snakes and critters over people themselves. He'd always somehow had the ability to speak the language of his serpent friends, it seeming rather natural for him, but never did it in front of anyone else, not wanting to give the others another reason to pick on him. 
===== Child (Age 8-11) =====
Eventually, he was rescued from the orphanage by an old military man, Morien Whateley, and his beloved wife Adeline Whateley. At the age of 9, Adeline bought Daegon a ticket to the Grand Opening of the World Faire as a birthday present. Unfortunately, he didn't know that it'd be his last present, and that his sense of a family was short-lived, for Adeline became very ill, and slowly died in front of both Morien, and Daegon's very eyes. This took a heavy toll on Daegon, she being the only one to really show him any affection at all. It also took a heavy toll on Morien, and because of his wife's death, he slowly began to dislike Daegon more and more, calling him a bad omen and often blaming him for her death. Eventually, Morien sold his land in the Southern Mainlands, and began his life in the trading caravan business, bringing Daegon with him so he could do most of the hard work.
===== Young Adolescent (Age 12-13) =====
They set off throughout the countryside, and upon approaching the town of Westeros, a group of bandits holding a woman hostage halted their caravan. Daegon thought the woman beautiful, so he jumped off of the wagon to go to her aid, but they bandits outnumbered him. Morien leaped off of the wagon and jumped straight into the fray, killing all of the bandits before Daegon could even land two hits on one of them. Upon saving the woman, they offer her safe travels with them to Westeros, but she stays behind to give them a proper burial, being a heavily religious woman. The caravan continues on to Westeros, where it stops for a day or two to restock in supplies, and sell some of their merchandise. Daegon decided to explore the town, and strolled around seemingly endlessly, until he wandered behind the tavern, where a mysterious woman dressed in all black grabbed him and put a dagger to his throat. She told him that she had kidnapped the religious woman they had saved earlier, and if he wanted her alive, Daegon would have to steal one of his caravan's wagons and bring it to her, just outside of the town of Westbrook.
He didn't want her to get hurt needlessly, knowing that she was a woman of faith, and he complied, stealing one of his father's wagons and taking off out of the city with it to Westbrook. Just outside the town of Westbrook, secluded behind a tall hill, was the woman dressed in black's camp with her dozens of fellow bandits, and the religious woman being held at knife-point by their leader. He got off of the wagon and left it for the bandits to take care of, horses and all, and approached their leader slowly, but upon stepping within 10 feet of her, the leader flashstepped in front of Daegon, cutting the woman in half mere inches away from his face. He collapsed, and the bandits' leader told them to do away with him and the woman. They beat, stabbed, and... did God knows what to Daegon, and then dumped him off in some ditch out in the plains, thinking him dead.. But they were wrong.
==== [Chronicles of Daegon: The Path of the Serpent] ====
===== Adolescent (Age 13-14) =====
A month or two later, he awoke in a den of snakes, dozens of snakes surrounding him as he lay there weak, before he collapsed once more. A few hours afterward, he awoke to rats falling into the den from above, the many snakes around him lashing out and diving for their own individual rats.. So Daegon did the same, not wanting to starve to death, he grabbed one of the rats and snapped it's neck, before plucking some of the hair off with his fingers and eating it whole like the serpents around him. One of the serpents eyed Daegon carefully, and Daegon noticed, eyeing the serpent back in the fashion he had learned at the Faire years before. It came up to him, and coiled around itself upon his lap, relaxing silently with a subtle hiss as the other serpents kept eating. He'd lay his head back against the stone surface of the den and fall asleep as well, waking up to a massive serpent making its way down to Daegon and the other snakes. It pulls Daegon up to the surface and tells him, "I am Magenta, your Broodmother.. I see you have met Akurra." Her serpentine smile stretches noticeably upon her face in joy, before it quickly turns to horror, and she mutters, "Run-.."
An even larger serpent appears, and grips down upon her neck, just behind the head and holds her in place. It'd say to Daegon, "You... You are not him! You are not worthy to be him!" Before it'd turn its gaze down to Magenta with intense hate and ferocity. "You dare take care of this... monstrosity?! I will punish you for your betrayal to my firstborn!" It'd squeeze down upon Magenta's neck, and a loud crack was heard, Magenta's serpentine frame falling limp in Slitherius' maw. He'd release her, looking both Daegon and Akurra in the eyes, before he'd slither down Magenta's den, and destroy all of her children, coming back up only to say this to Daegon and Akurra, "You will live for now, ssimply because I want you to learn about yourself, and what you will never be.. And then, I will find you, and kill you with your own hand!" Slitherius would eye Akurra with a crazed glare, before turning away and slithering off with astounding speed for his massive size.

Daegon and Akurra fled Magenta's den, and wandered for a while, eventually stumbling upon the town of Westeros once more, where he remembered about the Woman Dressed in Black that ran the Bandit Ring that tried to kill him. With his new ally Akurra, he set out throughout Westeros, gathering information on the woman and hospitalizing a few military men steathily, since they kept the information he needed from him, with Akurra's venomous prowess. He found a Mainlands Military uniform that fit him after sneaking his way into the Westeros barracks, and put it on. He roamed around the town in the uniform for a little bit, trying to find any information at all, until he stumbled upon a gnome in the tavern whom spoke about her. He approached the gnome and asked if he might know anyone who knew about the woman, and that's when he was redirected to Westbrook once more, to their mines where someone called 'Spider' would be able to tell Daegon where the woman might be. 
But, upon reaching the desk at the entrance of the mines, he was halted by a worker. Daegon explained that he was looking for 'Spider,' and the worker demanded that Daegon pay him 200 champs just to speak to 'Spider.' Daegon refused, and tried to walk away, but the worker halted Daegon once more and threatened to call the guard on him. Daegon didn't appreciate that, and sent Akurra upon the worker, coiling around his throat and sinking his fangs into the guy's neck. The worker put up a fight, and made enough noise to bring attention to them, and more workers saw what Daegon and Akurra had done, calling for the guards themselves. He tried to make a run for it, but was caught by the guards mere feet away from the person he needed to speak to, very unfortunate.
===== Young Adult (Age 15-16) =====
He accepted that he had been caught, and was handcuffed, then put on trial before a judge, and a jury, where Daegon admitted to his crimes and had he and Akurra locked up into a prison. Daegon and Akurra were always kept separate, but Daegon met a few friends in prison, and learned Southern Mainland Boxing from them for the few months he was there. Until one day he awoke in his cell with two papers on the stone floor, and a pen. One of the papers was an offer to join the Crusade instead of serving the rest of his prison sentence, and the other was an offer to join the Mainlands Military. He signed the Mainlands Military offer, and a few days later was taken out of prison and sent to Boot Camp with Akurra, where he met his classmates Brock Garn, Spike Lloyd, Jimmy Lendair, Chet Redmaine, and Johanna Eve, as well as his Drill Sergeant, Logan Smith. Brock Garn was a tall, brutish Turockin, but he was quiet, and gentle to those who knew him. Spike Lloyd was quite the insane Gnome, but was smart, deceptive, and deadly with a rifle. Jimmy Lendair was weak, and more akin to an actor than a warrior, but was loyal and compassionate to everyone he came across. Johanna Eve, a strong-hearted, strong-willed woman with a sense of duty and responsibility, the woman that Daegon developed something of a crush on during their training together, something that is only natural when a man and woman spend so much time together for so long. And lastly, Drill Sergeant Logan Smith, a charismatic and understanding man with a heavy fist, Sergeant Smith didn't take shit from anyone, but warmed up to the group rather quickly after spending some time with them. However, Chet Redmaine was a rather blunt troll, having spent some time in prison himself he often didn't have any respect for authority or other people. 
When trying to convince Daegon to help him kill Jimmy in his sleep, since Jimmy was 'weak', Johanna overheard Chet and came to Jimmy's rescue. Because of this, Daegon was infatuated by her sense of strength, and helped her beat Chet into submission. Later that very night, Chet tried to slit Daegon's throat in while he slept, but Akurra was there to protect him, biting Chet in the lips and locking them in place, keeping him silent as Daegon slept so he didn't wake. When Daegon awoke during the night from night-terrors to Chet's corpse in his room, he reached out to Sergeant Smith, and Smith swept it under the rug, claiming that "Chet was a bad seed anyway." For the next few weeks, training went on as usual, and Daegon seemed to be steadily improving his skill with the bow and technique with Boxing. He earned a day off from training, and chose to go to the library searching for a book on Titan Beasts. Upon reading a few of the excerpts that seemed interesting to him, another book caught his eye. Its title read, "Dachi Tanoshi: The Silver Flash," but as Daegon began to inspect the words within the book, he blacked out, his vision fading into darkness as his mind went blank.

In this darkness, he sees dozens of rooms, dimly-lit with large green, fluid-filled tubes. Vast laboratories that seemed to be of a nightmare.. Hundreds if not thousands of these tubes filled with dark masses of something rudimentary to the human shape. He sees a man, one man, with his back turned to Daegon, fiddling with some vials and controls as he is poked with dozens of strange instruments. And just as the man starts to turn his body so that his 'face' may be seen.. -"Daegon, where have you been?!" Johanna Eve yells to Daegon as she enters the library, snapping him out of the dream he seemed to be in. "I've only been here an hour or two, what's the big deal?" said Daegon, and Johanna laughs at him in disbelief. "You've been gone for almost nine hours! You're lucky I came looking for you, or the Sergeant would've kicked your ass! You know you're not supposed to be gone for that long without telling someone where you're going... Maybe I should tell him where you've been so I can get a day off too, hmm?" She says in joking tone. "Hey hey, no need for that.. I'm finished here anyway.." says Daegon, thinking he merely fell asleep without realizing it. He'd then walk back to the barracks with Johanna, and stayed up with her for an hour or two, just having conversation, before the two would part ways to their own beds for sleep. Once more, Daegon had dreams about these vast laboratories and rooms, again not being able to make out the face of the mysterious man before him.
He'd be awoken the next day to Johanna Eve punching him square in the face, knocking him down to the ground. "If you want to get stronger, you have to learn to not be distracted. Take notes, Jimmy." She'd reach down and help Daegon up with a smile, "You alright?" "Y-Yeah, i'm fine.. Just.. Got a little distracted.." He had awoken in the middle of a training session apparently.. How had this happened? He paused the session for a moment, and cupped some water over his face, trying to regain himself so that he may think as to how he got where he was. However, Johanna joins Daegon, and places a comforting hand on Daegon's shoulder once more asking, "You alright, Daegon? You've been acting strange since you've been to the library a few weeks ago.." Daegon seems to become distracted suddenly, and mumbles out, "This one does not have a name.." Before quickly regaining his thought process and answers her question, "A few weeks ago? That was last night, wasn't it?" Johanna looked at him strangely and shook her head no, and her facial expression changed from joyful to concerned. "No, it wasn't.. Finish washing your face and let's get back to training, 'ya crazy." She says, before returning back to Jimmy Lendair, and beginning to spar with him. Daegon looks down to his own reflection in the water, and asks himself, "What is happening to me?!" His sight fades into darkness once more, returning to that same reoccurring dream of the labs with the strange scientist, only this time, he sees the horrifying mask of the scientist turning to stare deep into his eyes, unblinking and unyielding.
A maniacal laughter is heard, before he comes back to, standing in a line with all of his comrades, Sergeant Smith laughing as he speaks with a mysterious man dressed in the uniform of the Elysium Black Ops. Sergeant Smith calls Daegon up to him, and whispers something into the Black Ops operative's ear, before calling Jimmy Lendair to spar with him. Jimmy lunges to attack Daegon with his sword, but is immediately countered and put down with one punch by Daegon. Next, Sergeant Smith calls Spike Lloyd to fire at Daegon with his rifle, but when the it goes off, Daegon stood there unscathed, the bullet clenched between his teeth with expertise, and a smug grin across his face. He spits the bullet out as the Sergeant calls out Daegon's next comrade, Brock Garn, and upon Brock trying to throw a punch at him, Daegon jumped up on his fist and sent an uppercut to the large turockin's jaw, taking Brock off of his feet and to the ground with a single strike. Lastly, Sergeant Smith calls for Johanna Eve to attack Daegon, and she says to him, "Don't you go easy on me!" But upon Johanna jabbing at his stomach with her spear, he slaps the spear's blade with his palm, and the entire spear splits down its middle and splinters apart within her hands.
The Operative quietly chuckles at Daegon's display of strength, and says, "I've seen enough. I'll send the paperwork when I feel it is time." Upon saying that, the operative disappears suddenly, and the Sergeant stands there looking at his students with a grin. "Congratulations, you've all completed your training.. And i've got to say, this is one of the finest classes that i've had the pleasure of training in my lifetime.." Daegon smiled at his accomplishment, and all of his classmates cheered, but as he turned and began walking to Johanna to give her a hug, his vision darkens, and he seems to slip out of reality, back into that reoccurring dream that haunts his mind.
=== [Chronicles of Daegon: The Breaking Point] ===
===== Young Adult/Adult (Age 17-18) =====
He comes back to, laying in a bed.. With pressure on his legs.. He looks around for a moment and sees nothing, but a man in the back of the room staring back at him.. He almost jumps out of bed, pointing in the direction of the man, before the man fades away as if a mirage. He blinks, and realizes there is a woman on his lap, and they are both fully nude... It's Johanna Eve riding him, before looking down at him with confusion. "What's wrong?" She'd say and look in the direction Daegon pointed, before eyeing him with a disappointed glare. "Can you go one night without doing something weird?" She'd say as she climbed off of him and began putting her clothes back on. "I'm going for a walk, let me know when you're ready to be serious." she'd say and storm off, leaving Daegon naked and confused. Just as she walked out of the room, Daegon's vision goes black, and reforms near Elysium's Cathedral, with Daegon dropped down on one knee and Johanna's hand within his, a golden ring encircling her finger beautifully. She reached down and picked his head up, bringing his lips to hers with a passionate kiss, and with that kiss, darkness once more. 
He'd regain his sight in a little townhouse, not too far away from the barracks they used to train in, with his hand upon Johanna's stomach. There was a large bump where his hand was, an obvious sign that she was with child, and Daegon became overjoyed.. But, his joy quickly turned into horror as his vision faded in a heartbeat, and returned to him just as quickly. His hand was still on her belly, but his teeth.. They were sunk deep into her neck, blood rushing out as he released her in shock of what he had apparently done. He panics, breaking into a distraught cry as he tries to wrap a nearby blanket around her wound, screaming, "What have I done!!!" in deep despair and misery. As he cries out, guards come rushing to the door, banging on it and screaming for it to be opened at once. Daegon, not knowing why he would do such a thing, fled. He ran, and ran, and then ran some more.. Until he finally collapsed atop an vacant battlement in Elysium, completely exhausted. 
He'd push his palms into his eyes and... Laugh. He'd giggle to himself in the most unsettling of ways, before a mysterious man suddenly appeared before him, breaking his laughter with an abrupt, dense silence as the two stared at each other. The man finally breaks the silence, "Hello, dearie.. I understand you're a little upset, hmm? Tell me what's wrong, and maybe I can fix it for you.." Daegon stutters out, his entire body shaking with a delirious grimmace, "I-I don't... Remember... I-I-I need-... I need to remember why.. I need to remember...-" He'd trail off, before the mysterious man cuts him off, "Ahhh, but that is where you're wrong, dearie.. You don't need to remember anything.. Your past is not the answer, but your future..." He'd say with an unnerving chuckle. "Your future, is."
Visions of a massive snake, destroying vast legions of people and entire cities suddenly flood into his mind. When seeing these visions, Daegon believes, no.. He knows he is the reason for this destruction. But as the visions fade away, and return him to see the mysterious man once more, two others appear onside of him. "You must not accept the Gypsy's offer, he will use you to further his own goals, and throw you away when he has no use for you. If you come with us, we will teach you how to remember, and give you a new life, if that is what you want. But you must make the choice, we will not make it for you," The man on the Gypsy's right would say, but the man on his left, with the silver hair.. Daegon had seen him before.. "You're wrong, 'Gypsy'.. The past is what creates my present, and my present creates my future-.. I must know-..I choose to go, with you." He'd look to Dachi Tanoshi, and the gypsy would disappear with an angry grumble, "You will regret that decision, my dearies.. All three of you.." The Silver Flash suddenly appears to Daegon's side, lightly touching him with his finger, and Daegon goes unconscious, waking up in front of a little shack with a large turtle beside him. "W-... Where am I?"
"Hello, troubled one.. You may call me, 'The Hermit,'" he'd say as he'd slowly transform from the turtle into an aged pure-elf man. "You've been brought here so that you may heal both your mind, and your spirit.. Time, is a river.. That flows endlessly." He'd say as he'd walk near the nearby river's bank and dip the tip of his staff into it, swirling the water about in a circle. "It flows in the shape, of a circle.. But only flows forward. Yet, there are those who become stuck within this river, and must learn to swim against the current, so that they may flow with the river of time once more. You are one of those people.." The Hermit would say as he turns to Daegon with a smile, beckoning him into the water. Daegon does as he wishes, already convinced he is a man of great wisdom from speaking pure poetry. "I am here to guide you on your journey within this river, to help you remember that which must be remembered.. But be weary, the more you remember, the more you risk losing yourself to those that dwell within.. Memories that may or may not be your own.. To begin your journey, you must focus on what you wish to remember, concentrate on it.. The river shall push against you, but you must remain vigilant in your cause.. Now, let its waters flow around you as you wade through your clouded memories.."

===== Adult (Age 18-19) =====
Daegon closes his eyes, and focuses.. He thinks back to the moment he saw Johanna lifeless, and his vision blurs out, before returning to that very moment. He stands there with his hand on Johanna's pregnant belly with a smile, kissing her neck gently, before a sense of overwhelming disgust came over him, his pupils dilating and then shrinking rapidly. Everything Daegon felt that he was disappeared, and he seemed like a different being entirely, viciously biting deep into her neck, Johanna only being able to wince out, "D-Daegon, w-why?...-" with her last remaining breath. He'd mutter out, "Disgusting.. You are not worthy of Sei'lim's legacy, human.." before he stops, and mind wanders to what happened afterward, his reaction being that of shock and deep mourning for the loss of Johanna. He snaps back to, and he's still in the river, however he floats limp in its waters, face to the sky as the Hermit watches him from the shore. The Hermit simply nods to Daegon with a reassuring smile, and Daegon closes his eyes once more, this time concentrating on Johanna Eve as a whole, and flashing memories surge through his mind, memories of them making love, memories of them fighting with their class side-by-side, and memories of their wedding, but it wasn't Daegon that was where he should be, but another person.. Not the same being that had taken Johanna's life, but not Daegon either.. Upon these flashing memories burning themselves into Daegon's mind, he once more wakes up, eyes to the sky and the Hermit watching over him. The Hermit breaks his silence, "You have been at this for hours already.. Come, rest for a little while." Daegon wades out of the river, and lies back on the shore next to the Hermit, mentally being exhausted, even though he seemed to have only started minutes ago. "I-.. I still don't know why.. That.. wasn't me.." Daegon would say, a stutter being heard in his voice after reliving the moment that took him down his descent of madness. "Perhaps, you are not concentrating on the memory.. Think back, to the moment where this all began, and you shall find the answer you seek." He rests another few minutes, before wading back out to the center of the river, focusing on the moment he first blacked out. His vision fades, and then returns with him being in the Elysium library, gazing upon the book titled, "Dachi Tanoshi: The Silver Flash," with interest. He'd open the book and upon the first page is a detailed drawing of the Unmei no Me, and upon looking at this drawing for even a second, his vision turns dark, and flashing images of endless, large, green vats filled with humanoid shaped creatures sear themselves into Daegon's vision. Once more, he sees that masked scientist staring at him cackling with a terrifying silent laughter. Daegon looks down, to find himself floating in a strange green fluid, inside of one of the large vats. His vision returns to the skies above the river, his body floating limp in the water. He knows what he must remember now.
He focuses on these labs that he's seen from his dreams, the horrifying scientist that haunts his night terrors, and the green vat that he seemed to have been inside, and comes to once more within this vat, the scientist rubbing his hands with ginger excitement. He flips a few switches, and the green fluid slowly drains out of the vat, Daegon simply standing there still, unable to move even if he wanted to. Pressure suddenly is released from the inside of the vat, and it seems to open up, the scientist moving up closer to inspect him further. He snickers in delight, "Finally! He is ready! It has been so long, my child, so long since you have begun to show promise! Don't fail me now!" He'd press a button, and several arms would spring out from around the vat, and would begin pricking, stabbing, and injecting Daegon with all sorts of tools for hours on end. "Power Analysis: Complete!" the machine connected to the vat and all of the arms says in a robotic voice, and the scientist begins looking upon a screen. "Oooh, i'll have some fun playing with that.. Interesting.." The scientist would then disappear for several more hours, leaving Daegon there to stand idle with nothing but the sound of machinery and his thoughts. Upon the scientist returning, he whistles a joyful, cheerful tune, and calls for Daegon to follow him, and without question, he follows. "Now, my child.. I am your creator, the Architect. You, are Subject Twenty, my creation. You will obey me, do you understand? "Yes... Archi-... Tect." Daegon would say back very slowly, as if he were processing the words and their syllables like a computer. The Architect snickers beneath his mask, clapping in excitement just at the fact that Daegon spoke, almost like a proud parent. "Now, I will run a few tests to test your capabilites. Do not hold back. The time you complete the tests in will be the precedent for future subjects, do you understand?" Daegon simply repeats, "Yes... Archi-... Tect." and stands there ready for whatever tests will be thrown at him. The first test, was several large abominations, created by heavily exposing some life forms to the Neon Gas, and Daegon was tasked with destroying them. It took him a little over ten minutes to complete, but he completed it. The next test, was four men armed with swords. They all charged upon him, but Daegon would take each of them down with a single blow, the final two getting decapitated with their own blade before they could even react to their comrades being slain. The Architect holds up a palm, and Daegon halts, standing still as if awaiting orders. "Come, Subject Twenty, I must prepare the next test for you."
Daegon walks over the corpses carelessly and follows the Architect back to his designated vat, and stands in it idly. The Architect once more disappears for hours, maybe even days, but returns with a second person, a half-elf. "Subject Nineteen, meet Subject Twenty." The Architect mutters with slight laughter in his voice. "He's ugly. I'll enjoy testing my strength on him some day." says Subject Nineteen, Dante Bladeswift, with a grin. "Subject... Nineteen," Daegon would simply repeat this very slowly as if he was processing the words like a computer. "What, is he ugly and stupid too?" Dante says with a hint of disgust for Daegon. The Architect chuckles heartily at Dante's sense of humor, "Come, we've got work to do.." Perhaps an hour or so later, the Architect returns by himself. "Follow me, Subject Twenty. The final test is ready." Upon him giving the order, Daegon finally moves, following just behind the Architect to the same room he had the other two tests, only this time Dante was standing in-place of the abominations. "Subject Twenty, open your gates," speaks the Architect. Daegon says in a dull, monotone statement, "I can't. It is impossible." The Architect mutters beneath his breath, "Oh? You can't open your gates, hmm?" His voice would change tone from something of a joyful nature, to that of deep disappointment and loathing. "After I spent years of hard work, devising forumlas, and tracking down that fucking snake!--" He'd cut himself off, calming himself down to look at Dante. "Get rid of it." and he'd wave a hand dismissively toward Daegon. But upon hearing the word 'snake.' Daegon feels himself change once more, to the same entity that killed Johanna Eve. The ground begins to rumble lightly as Daegon leaps off to attack Dante at an astounding speed, Dante needing to open his own gates in order to counter Daegon's speed and power. The battle continues for several minutes, until he is finally overcome by both Dante and the Architect, his vision blacking out to darkness once more.
His vision recovers itself in a dark place, littered with hundreds if not thousands of corpses and endless junk, a place known as The Boneyard, not too far from The Vault. He was a failure left there to simply rot in the trash with the other failures of Keltharia. Two would suddenly walk into his view, Dachi Tanoshi, and Avik Greyworm. "Are you sure this is the right place?" Dachi would say, unsure that anything useful could be in such a place. "Yes, he who is born from the snake is here.. And I think I see him.." Avik points to Daegon, him being face-down on the stone-floor, unmoving and silent. The two approach him, and suddenly he seems to react. "Dachi Tanoshi, The Silver Flash: Sha Roden to Avik Greyworm, and master swordsman. Head of the Tanoshi Clan... Avik Greyworm, the Third Prophet: Protector of Keltharia and master sorcerer," Daegon says in a computer-like manner. "Well, that's interesting.. He seems to know a lot," says Dachi Tanoshi, "Why is he here?" Once more, Daegon suddenly reacts to their words, "This one is a failure, and has been sent to rot amongst the trash for being so." Avik then looks to Dachi, and Dachi to Avik, "He may be a powerful ally in the fight to come.." before returning his gaze to Daegon. "Who are you, and who left you here?" Daegon's eyes roll around in his head for a moment, before saying, "Information Not Found, this one does not have a name." Avik then asks Daegon, "Would you like to have a new purpose?" And as Avik begins finishing his sentence, Daegon's eyes roll into the back of his head as his body begins to shake with activity. After a few moments of silence, he responds with, "Calculating... Calculating... Calc-c-c-c-c-c-... Question: Would you like a new purpose? Calc-- Done. Final Results: Yes." Avik gives Dachi a nod, and Dachi steps forward, turning Daegon's head so that eye contact can be made, and the Unmei no Me activates.. Flashing images of Daegon's entire life flash before his eyes very eyes, these memories being carved, and artifically transmitted into his mind with the Eye of Fate's awesome power. From the moment of his first memory in the orphanage, to him being sent off to the Mainlands Military, it was all the work of the Unmei no Me; However, Daegon's mind would grow volatile with the eye's effects, and the three entities that seemed to be within him would begin to fight over both his mind and body, his body jerking and seizing up in horrific ways, bones cracking and twisting with each spasm of his nerve endings, only for them to fix themselves back into place. This would go on and on for several minutes, before his body suddenly goes limp, and his bones settle into their proper place.. He remains still, back against the floor and face to the ceiling of the dark, massive, almost cave-like room he seemed to be in, before his eyes suddenly open up wide, and he screams out with an almost supernaturally induced loudness, "I AM... DAEGON WHATELEY!!!" And his vision suddenly transforms once more to darkness..
And he returns to the river, looking to the sky, his body limp within the flowing river, drifting in an odd circular pattern, yet not downstream with the current. He lifts his head up out of the water and looks upon the Hermit's aged face watching over him. The Hermit smiles at him, and breaks the silence with his calm, naturally wise voice, "You have been at this for hours already.. Come, rest for a little while." Daegon wades through the water, to the shore, and plops down on his rear, both physically and mentally drained from everything that he'd just accomplished. "Wait.. Didn't this already ha--" he begins to say, before the Hermit cuts him off with a calm, "Ssssh, I am aware. Your journey... Is complete." The Hermit smiles, as does Daegon, and he puts a hand on Daegon's shoulder, but upon doing so, the river and the Hermit's shack disappears, along with the rest of the forest around them, and they seem to descend rapidly to a strange place, a place known as The Void. The two seem to be on a large platform in the middle of this place void of all that can be seen as life, but there are two others. Two massive snakes, one vastly bigger than the other, but both large nonetheless, are on the platform with them, one of them being Akurra, and the other... Slitherius. 
Immediately upon noticing the two, Daegon calls out to Akurra, but is cut off by Slitherius as he hisses in anger, moving in to inspect Daegon with a loathsome gaze. "So you've begun to remember, yesss? What you are, and what you will never be? Do you remember hiss name? DO YOU?!" Daegon would yell back out to Slitherius, mentally exhausted and extremely frustrated, "I DO! I AM SAL'AHIM!" "WRONG!" snaps Slitherius, "Sal'ahim was my first-born! The strongesst of my brood! You are a -PATHETIC, WEAK, LITTLE HUMAN!-" The titan beast's tail would lash out and slam down upon the platform, the entire platform shaking with his anger, yet it did not give way in this void, it remained there to hold them all up. "You do not undersstand the pain I feel! The pain that I felt! To have your first-born sstolen from you, and his ssoul ripped from his body, only to be experimented on and tortured within the body of a lowly human! You are not my ssson! Do you even know who that iss to you?!" Slitherius looks back to Akurra, and Akurra gazes at Daegon silently, awaiting an answer.. "Akurra! My... brother?" He'd say would say unsure, always feeling a close connection to Akurra as if they could be kin. "You imbecile! That is the name you gave him upon birth, that is your ssson!" He'd hiss in ever growing anger, once more striking the platform, causing it to shake, yet once more it remained. "I wanted to set my son free, but your sister tried to protect you and your brood.. But I spared my strongest grandson, as he was the last thing I had that was of my son, and was strong.. Unlike you.." He then slowly slithers over to Akurra, and coils around him affectionately. "I am taking Akurra home, to the Slavelands, and I will raise him as my son, teach him the techniques that my sson would have learned.." Daegon says, "You will do no such thing! If you take Akurra from me i'll kill you myself!" Slitherius responds, "It is too late, my agentss are already escorting him to me.. If you dare meet me face to face again, I will not even waste my time killing you! Akurra will kill you and sset you free, so that my sson may be one day born again.." Daegon nods, "He may try, but I will not harm him. I come for you, and I will leave with Akurra." Akurra remains silent, simply staring at Daegon, eyeing him up and down. 
Daegon and the Hermit seem to start rising up above the platform out of no where, and the forest begins to fill in the void around them, and the Hermit's shack returns, as well as the river. The two are back to reality, standing there on the shore with the Hermit's hand on Daegon's shoulder, but oh there goes gravity, and Daegon's knees give out, causing him to fall down on his behind, but the Hermit remains standing, reaching to help Daegon up. "Forgive me.. I forget about the side-effects of going to the Void." Daegon takes his hand, rising to his feet and standing there determined, "I need to get stronger so I can defeat Slitherius, and take Akurra back." The Hermit smiles, and places a hand on Daegon's shoulder, "Well, I can't let you go out into the world empty-handed, now can I.. I offer you the chance to learn the way of the Sage-Monk, but it will not be easy. You must surround yourself with nature, and bring balance between you and your Spirit-Animal, which is as you could've guessed, is the serpent within you. This may prove dangerous, as it may once again leave you vulnerable to its control, but if harnessed correctly, it may also prove to be your salvation." Daegon nods to The Hermit, a sly smile creeping across his face, "Well, you've helped me this far.. I gladly accept, friend." Within the blink of an eye, the two appear on a small, sandy island off the Western Coast of the Keltharian Jungle, and The Hermit removes his hand from Daegon's shoulder, lifting his hands up to his own hat only to place it upon Daegon's head. 
"You will accomplish great things.. I do not know whether good or bad, but they will be great. You may do as you wish from here on out, but know that you must always return to the jungle to cleanse your mind.. It takes the average person roughly 25 years to a lifetime to master the art of the Sage-Monk, but since you're practically immortal, that shouldn't be a problem for you." The Hermit would smile at Daegon, before turning around to turn back into a large, elderly turtle. "Thanks..." Daegon would say with joy, inspecting the hat The Hermit gave him to find a metal insignia upon its front. It'd be that of a small, opened tome, symbolizing the hidden knowledge that Daegon has learned, and must continue to learn about himself. The turtle would wade through the water into the sunset, before disappearing from Daegon's view entirely, leaving him alone in nature's bosom. Months pass, and Daegon becomes known throughout the jungle as a vigilante only known as, "The Green Arrow," due to the tips of his arrows commonly being dipped in green snake's venom, and his green attire. He'd be known for taking down bandits, thugs, and just overall people whom he's deemed as evil or deserving of punishment for their actions. He'd often try to find valuables or some type of profit afterward as a bonus, but feels just as good dishing out what he believes to be justice to those whom are asking for it
=== [Chapter IV: A New Era] ===
==== The Keltharian Jungle (Intro Arc) ====
===== The Hunter, Becomes the Hunted =====
Whilst traveling throughout the jungle, he had learned that a woman by the name of Erica Arendaha would be passing through. A terrible woman, she was, leading a cult in the Southern Mainlands that in turn killed possibly hundreds of people, but her mother, Lylandria Arendaha, was able to get her crimes expunged, and she chose to flee to the jungle. Daegon felt that the People of the South were done wrong, so he took matters into his own hands, since the law would not. He figured out their route to the jungle, and cut down a tree, leaving a massive log in her path. As they neared the log in their path, her stagecoach halted, and Daegon took his shot. The arrow flew for dozens upon dozens of yards, until it struck through the stagecoach window, and fixed itself straight upon the heart of Erica Arendaha, leaving her dead as Daegon would take out those that remained near her. He'd then go up to the stagecoach and begin looking around for something, memorabilia of sorts, and would come across a letter. He'd open the letter up, and upon reading it.. "THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED." Arrows would dart out of no where into his arms and torso, and Daegon would take cover behind the stagecoach, looking around to see if he could locate his target, but he found nothing but two more arrows hitting him in his chest. He'd rip them out, and upon doing so all of them would explode, leaving the stagecoach destroyed, and sending Daegon flying back into the bushes. He'd lie very still, before his flesh would split open, and out came a new, healed, fully recovered Daegon. He'd gather his clothes, and sprint off into the jungle to gather his thoughts, and speculate as to who his hunter is.. A Silver-Sniper.
===== A Friend in the Potentia =====
He would awake the next morning in the trees, the sounds of chatter beneath him. He'd look down to see a group of bandits eyeballing some children that were playing nearby. They spoke of kidnapping the children, and selling them into slavery for The New World. Daegon remembered his childhood, and remembered that it was hard enough being an orphan, let alone a child-slave.. He empathized with the children, and decided to act. Justice, had to be served. He'd fire upon the bandits, killing two of them before they reached him, and then beat another one to death with his fists. Two left. He moved to rush the bandit, but stopped dead in his tracks, hearing the crunch of the jungle-floor behind him. A tiger leapt out from the brush to pounce on Daegon, but as it was in mid-leap, an almost deafening bang was heard. There stood a half-elf, with deep, dark blue-hair, holding a gun. She'd look to Daegon with a raised eyebrow, before turning the barrel of her gun to one of the two remaining bandits, once more firing it and instantly killing him. As the last bandit was distracted, Daegon would pound upon his head, and lock him into a grapple before Christian shot him in the head, blowing blood and gray-matter all over his clothes. "Well, thanks.. I'd introduce myself, but i'm a little busy at the moment.." He'd say as he'd use the dead bandit's shirt in an attempt to clean himself, before dragging each of their corpses into the undergrowth for nature to take, "You got a name?" The half-elf simply smirked at him, holstering her gun as he did all of the work of moving the corpses. "Christian A. Potentia.." He'd loot them, and upon wiping off his hands, he'd tip his hat to Christian with a smile. "Daegon M. Whateley." She simply stared at him, and after a few moments of awkward silence, she spoke. "We could use someone like you in the fight against the bugs in the South, you interested?" A memory came to Daegon, that of Adeline, he'd rub the back of his neck for a moment and then adjust his hat as he spoke, "Well, I have.. 'unfinished business' here.. but, I -AM- from the South.." He would scratch his chin in thought for a second, before deciding. "I'll go, it'll be an opportunity to test my strength.. Meet people, maybe even get learn a few things." The two would shake hands, before immediately leaving the jungle for the Southern Mainlands, to eradicate the bugs, and set the people free.
==== The Southern Mainlands (Plague Swarm Arc) ====
===== A People Left to Perish =====
Upon entering the South, they traveled to the far Eastern border that connects the South to the Eastern Mainlands, only to find the native Southerners begging for help or to leave, a large group of Mainland Military personnel blocking them from crossing, with a member of the Elysium Black Ops at their head. They would try to overrun the border, but were shot down before even getting close. In rage, Daegon would draw an arrow, and fire it upon the Black Ops member, only for him to tilt his head slightly out of the way, clearly dodging it with ease. He'd yell, "Bombard the forest, leave nothing left!" and both arrows and cannons would begin to fire out from within the border, forcing everyone to retreat. They'd fall back to the Potentia Campsite, where Daegon would meet Jenny and William Potentia and introduce himself to the both of them, sharing with them that he was from the South, and that he was there to help the Potentias in any way he can. Later he would find that Fellex Burningspear, , Azazel 'no' Inazuma-Tanoshi and her brother Hikaru, as well as four Unmei Agents had made there way to the camp to help the Potentias in their fight for the South as well, thus catching up with old friends, and making a few new ones. However, upon one of the agents sensing a nearby spy, they would capture it and bring it back to the camp, revealing it to be a pure elven Southerner. They had gathered out of her that a man named Dereck was leading the People of the South, and was leading them down a path that could only result in their demise, practically brainwashing the People to have rathered death than help from foreigners and outsiders. And just prior to her being released, Azazel placed a tracking spell on the woman, allowing the Camp to track her to a village of Southerners about to be attacked by a Plague Swarm. They chose to act in an effort to prove themselves to the People of the South, leaving the campsite immediately to fight the Swarm, and defend the People.
===== A Short-Lived Victory =====
The fight would be grueling, those from the Potentia Campsite barely making it out with only a handful of Southerners actually surviving the attack, but it was a victory nonetheless, for two irreplaceable 'commanders' of the bugs were slain, thus weakening the bugs' uniformity within the hive-mind. The pure elf that was followed revealed herself to be a Silver-Sniper, a half-blood by the name of Evangeline Argent, though it didn't seem to be the same one that was hunting Daegon. No, she seemed to have a different goal, to save the People and defeat the bugs, thus after fighting by her side against the Swarm, she became an ally. Once the Argent had officially entered the campsite, she spoke to Daegon and told him that Dereck wished to speak with him, and only him. He'd investigate this and ask the Argent a plethora of questions.. "Who is Dereck? Why would he want to see me? What is his actual name?" The Argent gave short and simple answers, "A skilled druid, he used to be a part of a pack of panther-druids, until they all began to die around him. He then joined the 'MOP' before deserting and fleeing back to the South, where he now leads the People of the South. But 'Dereck' is merely an alias, his true name? Yan'sid." Upon hearing of his real name, flashing memories would come to Daegon's mind. He was the man whom showed Daegon the ropes in Black Ops training, a scarred, scruffy man with deep black hair and ice-blue eyes, a long-shot of over 80 yards, he was known as 'Black Panther' and was known for his skill and expertise in both armed and hand-to-hand combat. Upon gathering this information, Daegon would ponder, before alerting Jenny Potentia to Dereck's request, and they'd discuss setting up a meeting, but never got to completing it. There would be a meeting within the camp between the Potentias, Tanoshis, Inazumas, and Burningspears, and upon the meeting coming to an end, a decision was made. And due to 'increasing tensions' between the Mainland Military, the South, and the Tanoshi-Clan, everyone chose to go their own separate ways, leaving Daegon the burden of continuing the fight in the South alone for a short time.
===== Lurking in Darkness =====
As Daegon ran around the South searching for the hive and any that might help him defeat the bugs, he was eventually ambushed by a pack of them, where he fought to fend them off and was nearly successful. However, as he was alone they began to overwhelm him, and as it seemed like he was about to be eaten by the bugs, a dagger flew out from the brush, killing one. Suddenly, a dark elf stepped out from the shadows and stabbed another bug, and Daegon used this opportunity to smash the last of them. Daegon gets up and dusts himself off, and introduces himself to the dark elf, and the dark elf does the same. His name was Dethren Izmir, and as the two spoke together, Evangeline Argent appeared from the darkness. She seemed on edge, and it seemed she was following Daegon, but didn't help him. This seemed suspicious, so Daegon put his guard up, and as he did Azazel and her group of agents joined the scene. Things started to heat up, and as Evangeline Argent threatened Azazel's life, that's when the battle began. The Silver Sniper stabbed Dethren in the shoulder, and as he was everyone was teleported out of there to Hana-Yo. Some healers tended to Dethren's wounds, and as he recovered people began to speak about returning to the South. The conversation went on and on, until finally everyone came to a conclusion to return back to the South and liberate it of some of its problems. Many battles were fought, against both the bugs and the Silver Snipers hired by MOP to see that their interests were fulfilled, but the group all prevailed, steadily knocking down each problem in their path and gathering more followers from the South and all over the world, such as Dereck and his followers, the Spearhunters of the Mountain, the Men of Stone, and the Inazuma Clan of the Elemental Plains. They set up a base camp that would eventually turn into the gem known as Ezmeralda with the help of all of their allies, and from there finally learned of the Hive's location... In the mountains just behind the city. They gathered their warriors and leaders of the people, and devised a plan to sweep into the Hive and with one push eradicate the bugs. It was difficult, but in the end they succeeded, pushing deep into the hive to face the Queen herself in the heart of her Hive.
===== I Need a Break... =====
As the battle waged on, the queen lashed out with her mandibles and swallowed Daegon whole, leaving him alive within her stomach as hundreds of tiny insects would bite and gnaw at his body from the inside. He'd try and try to dig his way out with his dagger, but he couldn't free himself, the fight continuing on for several minutes with him in there. The final blow on the Queen from Christian A. Potentia was a powerful hit amplified with the power of her shockwave, causing its body to explode, and out came Daegon, dripping in disgusting slime and juices of the Queen of the Plague Swarms. With the bugs defeated, it was revealed that the massive tree the hive was within was a giant treant, and it gave each of those whom helped cleanse it a powerful gift, Daegon getting a thick wooden bracelet that upon saying the proper Words of Power summons a powerful bow that was one of six carved from the first tree of Keltharia, and once belonged to the same treant when she were an elf. He took the gift with honor and responsibility, swearing that it shall never enter the wrong hands, and then set out with the others to the next step in their lives.. CELEBRATION! The next week, they all retired to the beach in the beautiful Elemental Plains for a beach party, where he met Azazel's sister, Kimiko Inazuma. Throughout the week, he had gotten more and more comfortable with her and the others, and when the week came to a close they all met up somewhere in the Elemental Plains to start their training together.
==== The Land of Fate (Training Arc) ====
===== Naked & Confused =====
Upon everyone arriving, Nanako began to do a "ritual" of sorts, and as his blades and the wind's speed around them picked up to devastating speeds, one by one each of them were devoured, until finally Daegon himself was consumed into a dark nothingness with a strange falling sensation accompanying it. Suddenly, he wakes up in a strange, vast place, full of nothing but blank white structures and endless nothingness. After a moment or two of adjusting to the surreal place, he'd noticed that he was naked, and upon realizing so, he was able to see the 14 others that were transported in with him were also without clothes. After wandering around to explore the void that was this land for a while, Christian made to ascend one of the white structures, but was pushed down by some mysterious force. One by one, everyone attempted to ascend, and a pattern was figured out. They needed to go up in a certain order,so they created a human ladder up the structure in order to make it to the top, and upon completing this first test, a man suddenly appeared to them that looked like Nanako. and it was revealed that he was "Guardian Ten," Fate himself, and that they were all in his world now, the Land of Fate. They were then told that they would stay in this world for a century and train the hardest that they've ever trained in their lives, but in the real world perhaps only months would pass by. As everyone looked between one another and agreed, so it began. Everyone walked off to their own individual spots and began to meditate, where they transported into a world where they must confront their deepest doubts.
===== Phase One: Loneliness =====
