## Background (Backstory)

Martris is a Noble Son from the Pendragon Royal Bloodline destined for success no matter which route he would take although his family never took the titles of King or Queen they still have titles for their preferred talents. In this case for Martris in his fascination with archery and nature he would be given the title The Prince of Thorns. Ever since he was a boy he would be taught the way of life from his father about it's cruel nature as life is fragile but perseverant. Martris would hunt for sport against monsters taking life, but in turn would learn how to be merciful, kind, and caring even as a predator about to eat his prey. Martris would learn how to kill swiftly, but also connect with nature and it's inhabitants becoming one with nature itself. In his early teenage years he would stop hunting for sport and instead learn how to tame or deal with animals or monsters to better understand them on how they live.

Despite his personal hobbies Martris would learn to adapt and survive when he left he house once he was sixteen years old as he needed to survive on his own without the help of his family bloodline. For his journey he would supplied with the basic needs to travel, but his final gift from his father would be a custom-made bow passed down from his family's legacy. Martris left hoping that he would see his father again as they parted ways. During his early days in living in the outer world he find a local town shortly joining the local guild called The Blue Hand in order to earn a living as an adventurer. At the start he is taking simple quests by himself using his marksman skills in order to defeat enemies from afar without much effort. Due to him completing multiple quests in short periods of time, it gathers attention in the Guild seeing that Martris is a valuable asset among The Blue Hand. One day three adventurers would confront Martris as they need an archer in their team in order for them to do a Gold Level Team Quest.

Martris would meet three High Level Adventurers with Gold Ranking which he himself is surprised to grace their presence. Martris meets a male Dark Elf Magician named Cornaith Umenorin, a strong female Tank called Erinna Mccree also known as the Shield War Hero, and finally a female Dwarf called Cammi Lincoln who is a Dual-wielding Axe Warrior. The three would like Martris to do a Gold Level Team Quest however, Martris although honoured just recently attained Silver Rank and he cannot join missions that are below his Rank. The Blue Hand Staff although impressed with his talents cannot let Martris go on a mission since he does not have that level of experience. The adventurers persisted as they need a fourth Adventurer with high marksman skills although there are Gold Level Archers in the Blue Hand mostly if not all are the main defenders of the town and the highest level they can get currently is standing right in front of them.

The Blue Hand staff would not budge, so the adventurers suggest if that Martris does a High Level Rank Silver Team Mission by himself he would be promoted to Gold proving that he is experienced enough to join their team. The Blue Hand seeing their desperation then agrees if that Martris would accept the mission alone and succeed within the time limit the adventurers gives him he would be promoted to Gold. The adventurers look towards Martris hoping that he would accept their proposal although Martris did not intend to jump ahead, he could also see their worries. In the end Martris accepts to the adventurers delight, but before Martris left Cammi gives him Noble Lightweight armour, Cornaith supplied a new set of arrows, and Erinna gives him a cape although they cannot help him in the mission, they are allowed to give him gifts before entering the battlefield alone.

### Silver Quest: Save a Falling Kingdom

The quest is to defend an invading Kingdom as a war is waged between humans against orcs and the undead, but the adventurers need to finish their quest within two weeks time. Martris then realises that he needs to finish his quest within a week otherwise any later would jeopardise their quest, so he mounted his horse and rides towards the Kingdom. A day has passed as Martris arrives near the Kingdom seeing the devastation and without further gaze he charges into the Kingdom to group with the remaining Kingdom. Martris rides through the chaos shooting down orcs and undead alike until he unites with the Kingdom's guards as he stands his ground shooting close range eliminating his enemies nearby. Martris weakens the opposing frontline as he tells the guards to retreat as they fall back within the walls that their majesty is safe within.

The Kingdom's guards thank the outsider for his support, but Martris needed to see their majesty or commander in order to create a counterattack to repel forces from the Kingdom. The guards would tell Martris that their commander died however, if he wishes to see the Queen he needs to relinquish his weapons in order that this not an assassination attempt. Martris gives his bow and arrows to the Guards without hesitation and so four guards escorted him to the majesty's throne room as Martris sees a Queen wearing lavender coloured robes. The guards introduce the outsider to the Queen as they then leave his side and guard the Queen which she is visibly disappointed asking is that all they sent which Martris confirmed. The Queen sighs but could nothing about the situation, so she asks what is his plan which Martris answers by putting him in the highest place in the Kingdom viewing his enemies from below while the Guards would barricade as well as protect the Queen from incoming forces.

The Queen surprised by his competence wonders why he would not request for any of her guards or warriors, but Martris states that their agency is to protect her while his is to end the current threat. With nothing else left to say Martris is escorted out of the throne room and is guided to the highest point of the Kingdom where the guards return his bow and arrows. Martris requests to get as many arrows as they can which he is shortly supplied with stacks of arrows beside him. Martris started shooting aiming for the forces near the Queen's location killing each enemy one by one. For hours Martris kept shooting at the forces with precise accuracy as their forces start to deplete. Shortly they did a tactical retreat which Martris kept shooting them down until they went into hiding however, luckily he was able to pull them back from the walls protecting the throne room. Martris did not have much time, so he immediately goes to the Queen while once again giving his bow and arrows to the guards. The Queen is impressed that Martris alone made the enemy retreat, but he suggests that now he borrows a squadron of warriors for them to take back the outside walls immediately.

The Queen shortly understands his reasoning ordering her warriors to go outside along with Martris to secure whatever she can get back for her Kingdom. Escorted out as his bow and arrows are returned he went out with a squad of warriors to secure whatever they could. Martris expected an ambush, so he orders the warriors in front of him to spread out just in case however, without any resistance they are able to secure their defences. With the warriors positioned as defenders securing their positions, Martris needed to find the Orc Commander and Necromancer behind the attack so he went back to the Queen. Martris stated that they need to find the opposing leaders as soon as possible before another attack is sprung. The Queen thought it best that Martris stays to defend the Kingdom however, he knew that repelling the forces is not enough to regain her Kingdom.
