## Backstory

***"My blade seeks only a good rival.***

***Are you a fine swordsman?***

***Very well! You shall be my sparring partner. En guarde!"***

Born from the same village Kagura lived in, Atheris was a swordsman of the highest rank, able to best elder swordsmen of his village at age 13. Atheris had quite a bitter rivalry with Kagura, the two clashing blades at every opportunity, training themselves in the process. One day, while Atheris was away, he returned to see his entire village slaughtered. Presuming Kagura was dead, Atheris, in vengeance, ripped a tear through the fabric of space and leaped into it, not knowing where he would end up. Regaining consciousness in the Vriksha Duchy, Atheris and a sniper by the name of Verre had an audience with the emperor Cedric, and soon both became his lieges.

Hearing from the knight Sefaria that Kagura had been sighted at the Atharva Republic, Atheris rushed to the Atharva Republic. When he got there, he noticed Weiss, the magician, and Sefaria holding their own against the God Army. Making his presence known, Atharva instantly obliterated the army around the perimeter, buying time for Sefaria and Weiss to escape. Wanting to go down fighting, Sefaria convinced Atheris to help them defend the Atharva Republic. Atheris stayed, until his power grew so immense that he ripped another hole in the fabric of space, and leaping into it, he was sure he'd see Kagura again.

Atheris' beloved blade, forged in the heart of a glacier, wasn't exactly popular in the Vriksha Duchy, but it was ridiculously feared in the La Veda Republic, where Atheris visited once. On a quest to take stolen goods back from bandits, Atheris calmly strutted into their hideout in La Veda, decimated their base without even the slightest visible movement and took the goods back, unintercepted. As the bystanders looked on him, they walked out of his way, not wanting to be cut by Nara Alcyon.
