### Summary (really short)

A former warlock captain who possesses steam and plasma who made the grave mistake of visiting the epicenter, current host of the dark heart and seeks nothing more than to kill and “purify” fighters of the bronze sea. Now on the (very unjustifiable) hunt against the Ravenna Army in order to fill is urges of violence and hate towards Calvus.

## Lore/Journal

All of the (current) Journal entries spanning from December of 1856 to December of 1857 (also I polished the writing a bit here)

**P1**

October 25th, Year is covered in dark sea water.

“Me and my crew are off to head to the epicenter! King Calvus himself has paid us a hefty amount of money to go out there and scout the place out for any artifacts of important use. He made sure to hand our crew plenty of warding potions.” - End of page

December 15th, 1856 (Awakening from the coma)

“I can’t remember anything; it's felt like eons since I’ve woken up. Horns are blaring in my ears and the sun is cooking the remains of my former crew, I still have my heart in hand. I remember them turning on me, staring me down, violence is what they wanted. They gave chase and I willingly followed. I will return to Calvus for what he has done to me. My purification has begun, the people shall be freed from their chains.” - End of page

April 1st, 1857

“Nearly out of this place, the sea grew angry in my attempt of justice. I saw the sea form into armed, violent, unpurified sea creatures that were made of watery clay. They came and they came. But the more they gave chase the more I felt alive. My heart PUMPED and the sun burned down on the hell I made. I could feel the violence in the air like a meal. I'll be out of here in 2 days at least.” - End of page

November 4th, 1857

“I was nearly out of that void, so close I could feel the air pulsing with purity. But then everything went out of control. The air spun and twisted and turned. The sea threw its self up and ate itself again like a loop, and then I saw jaws before everything went to hell itself. I woke up on a bed confused, I'll continue next week.”

November 8th, 1857

“I did some asking with the locals and it turns out I’m on shell island, this place seems quite peaceful compared to the dark seas. Feels great to be around the pure. I noticed though the island was inside a tornado albeit that no one was stunned or shocked. I barely even FELT it, it seemed more like a barrier between the sea and the island itself, I won’t question it for now though.”

November 9th, 1857

“Did some looting on the island, set up a nice camp until I can set off to purify the lands. While searching the place for more loot I came across some of Calvus’s oppressors. They radiated pure violence that must be taken away from this kind and peaceful stone rock. And so I took it off the place, felt much more nourished too after doing so too, amazing! I'll continue after I leave this place and say farewell to the pure.

December 4th, 1857

“I was able to get my brig in good condition to sail out without being attacked by impure seamen. As soon as my ship got near the tornado I saw it rip open like a door, and I finally was able to witness the bronze sea. It felt bright and blinding, the sun started to rain down lights into the sea that seemed to pass through all solid objects. The headache on the back of my head grew stronger and so did my urges to kill. I saw an impure boat full of men staring at me wanting to fight, they rang their bells and charged into me as I came right at them. Another step into purity and nourishment.” - End of page

December 6th, 1857

“Made it to "Sandfall Island" using a part of a map that I found. I will use it as a headquarters and a new home rather than sleeping on my messy brig. After scouting the island, I was able to get some food, fishing equipment, and a small hut to sleep in. Saw some ships pass by but they didn’t come to stop by, unsure if they were impure or pure as I could not feel their aura whatsoever. Probably just some cargo ships, I'll continue in a few days.” - End page

December 8th, 1857 (First fight)

“I woke up feeling a strong aura, and I was hungry for violence too. Perfect. I walked outside to see a mage standing at the edge of the shore, he mumbled some stuff about beating me into the sand but I could care less. Immediately he fired a fireball at me, it was small but quicker and I got slightly hit but that was the least of my concerns. I dashed forward directly into him and kicked him to the ground, almost had a grip on him until he fired a charge fireball he was hiding and sent me into a rock. I felt like I was dying until the heart in my hand started pumping more and more and I felt time slow down around me. I quickly ran up to his shocked face and punched him to the ground knocking some of his teeth down and the heart returned to normal. He attempted to create some fire but I quickly stomped his hand causing his face to mutate and howl like a wolf, got a grip on his jaw and ripped it down causing the impure radiation to leave his body. Another one purified, took some of his boat parts too. Hope he doesn’t mind!” - End page

December 12th, 1857

“The news of the impure mage I purified spread quickly, I got my hands on a newspaper that blew over here covering his disappearance and the “Navy” seems to be on the hunt for him unaware of his purification. I don't think they will stick around to find him for long so I should be fine, on the other hand though he had another map piece showing me a path into Frostmill and I might be able to get more advice up there. I will set sail soon as I grab some food for the trip.” - End page

December 17th, 1857

“Finally made it to the dock of Frostmill, killed a pirate crew on the way here but I don’t have time to write about that and they weren’t very strong either. Anyways as of now I’m looking for ship parts, map pieces, and someone’s head to smash into the ground. I was able to use some spare galleons to fix a few ship problems and talked to the people of this place. Some key features I noticed was that everyone seemed to be almost skeleton-like as if they had been frozen for years, some of them seemed to have flesh wounds but didn’t bat an eye towards it. So far, I have been able to collect a small map piece directing me to Redwake and a few galleons for doing some dirty work. I'll investigate the peak of the mountain later.” - End page

December 19th, 1857

“Made way up the mountain, I was able to sense a somewhat decent aura and followed it. Lead to a clan hideout named “The Frostians”, they had a few tents or so but plenty of men that far outmatched the tent count. Something else must have been stored in those tents but that probably isn't my main issue, what I was focused on was the leader who seemed to be almost of my strength but I could tell it wouldn’t be too much an issue (I may or may not write out the full fight but that will be a separate post). After handling the fodder and the big guy who put up a decent fight, I noticed a man walking outside of Frostmills cave exit. Although I had the initial idea of fighting him cause he seemed to be on par with me but then I felt the heart rattle in my pocket as if it wanted to get out and so I held it up. Then I felt it send a message into my head.

“*DO NOT FIGHT HIM JUST YET, HE ALSO SHARES THE SAME GOALS AS YOU. YOU WILL ALSO NEED HIM IN THE FUTURE FOR YOUR BIG FIGHT*.”

So I decided to ask him if he was after Calvus too, he seemed a bit stunned by either the mutilated bodies behind me or my question but was interested in the idea of teaming up to take down Calvus since he seemed alone as of now. We both discussed our reasons and current status, turns out his name was “Hank Viatis” and Calvus had sent a hitman against his family for some weird bloodline reasons while he was on a trip. The trip had saved him since the word of his leaving was never spread, when he came back and got the news he very quickly left Ravenna in fear of being executed himself. I told him my story to the epicenter and he was quite impressed with me making it out of there alive. He explained his boat got sunk recently and he had swam here for refuge for a few months, after showing him my brig we agreed on taking it to our next stop."

**"Redwake."**

January 1st, 1858

“Me and Hank had just reached Redwake, we did not plan for the trip to be this long but due to complications on the way involving the ship's quality we had to make a few stops and repair it at some islands. Once we made it to Redwake he explained that he knew someone here that had some information about Ravennas army and a “critical spot” they needed to keep their army alive. He told me to wait outside for what felt like an hour before he came out and said that we would be visiting some friends of his who had a similar past as me and him. Once we get some stuff from a nearby island we would be setting sail.

January 6th, 1858

“After a bit of sailing and sinking pirate ships for parts, we landed at a small island with a little hut in it. There hank introduced me to:

1. Raina and Racheal , 2 paladins who always travel together. One uses metal magic and the other uses fire magic. Never seem to split up despite the circumstances.
2. Maverick Carlin, a 6 foot berserker . Uses 2 of his own special fighting styles that seem to synergize with each other, wonder how he made them.
3. Salem Falcon, a light conjurer that seems very jittery. Talks way too fast.

(Drawings drop later)

“He pulled a map out and set it on the table after properly introducing me to everyone. The map showed a large Ravenna building named “Fort Arion”, apparently it held some high ranking officers, tons of info involving the army, and Ravenna captures who knew even more than we did. We planned out that one of us would take out each section of the fort before all meeting on the roof to group up. Once we all get together we hop on the brig and escape before reinforcements arrive. Plan seemed simple enough and nearly flawless, I'll finish up this journal after we wreck the place.

## Special stuff

* Hank is somewhat based off my friends first save file
* The group from P4 is HEAVILY based on "The Fans" from hotline miami
	+ Raina and Racheal = Ash and Alex, Maverick Carlin = Tony + Mark, Salem Falcon = Corey
