## Backstory

Q'eq'chi was born in 1302 in a small village in the hills of Guatemala. His mother was an indigenous woman named Ra'Vam, and his father was a Spanish conquistador named Lo'Wan. He had a sister who was 19 years old named K'Tava, who was brutally murdered. This devastated Q'eq'chi, who sought out revenge for his sister's death, and over the next three years hunting down his sister's killer, and eventually he tracked them down. After a long and painful struggle, Q'eq'chi ultimately succeeded in their mission, and his revenge was satisfied. However, despite his victory, the cost was too dear and he was left a broken man, filled with guilt over his actions. In Q'eq'chi's final days, he was visited by the kingdom's royal guard. They told him that he had committed a terrible deed in taking another life, and that his sentence was to be death by hanging. Q'eq'chi tried to plead his case, but they were unmoved by his words. He was taken away to be hanged, and he spent his final days knowing that he would be killed for a crime that he felt in his heart was justified.

## Personality/Ideals

Q'eq'chi is a strong and passionate individual who cares deeply about his family and friends. He is also a little bit hot-headed and quick to anger at times, but he is always dedicated to fighting for what he believes in without fear or hesitation. He is an honest and direct type of person who is willing to let his feelings be known, even if it means standing up to authority or going against the grain. He also has a great sense of curiosity and adventure, always wanting to learn more about the world around him and push his own personal boundaries.

Q'eq'chi is a very principled person who has strong beliefs in justice and fairness. He believes in taking a stand for what is right, and fighting for what he believes in even if it means putting himself at risk. He is also a very compassionate individual who cares deeply for the wellbeing of others, and he is always willing to help those in need or lend a hand to someone in trouble. He has a strong moral compass that leads him to always try to do the right thing, and he is willing to fight for those who are powerless or oppressed.

Did the murder change him? Well, of course it did! It hardened his heart and turned him into a more vengeful person in general. But it also made him even more compassionate and understanding of those who were helpless and in need, and he was even more willing to stand up against injustice and fight for those who had no one else to turn to. He was ultimately changed from the event, but it helped him to become a more well-rounded individual who could fight for what he believed in while also being able to look at things in a more nuanced and empathetic way.
