## Overview

Hero (or ''Hero Thengh'', as of his official name) was a little young kid born in Oreh, Lowmbther. Since he was a child he loved fictional stories and books, and admired the Kingdom's knights, and since wanted to be one of them, that's why their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thengh, put him on a Knight-Training club afterschool, on which he learned the basics of various fighting styles, such as Swordsmans' Art, Sgrim, Karate, and various other martial arts and fighting styles. When various years transcurred, Hero started being really good and abilitious with all of his fighting techniques, mastering them all. And afterwards, when the new emperor of the Salemore Empire, Hreehghorgh, started taking over some of the world's powers, such as Idilem, The Malon Union, Holomore, and of course, Hero's Hometown: Lowmbther, specially the south-west territories of It, where Oreh was. And started seeing some of Hreehghorgh's intentions and after eventually, losing his elder brother on a horse-carriage accident caused by the first general of Emperor Hreehghorgh's army, General Gonihchi, on a hang-out day with Hero's best friend, Homes Cinos, and his elder brother (Jhero Thengh).

These events are really important in Hero's character arc, and on the franchise itself. Marking the end of the so called ''Child-Like Era'' of S&K. Followed by the most important last-longing era of the franchise, the Young Era, on which transcurr the most important and iconic moments of te entire series, such as the 7 Years he passed on training for the Contamination Magic. As well as many other ones, like meeting one of te series' most important characters, like *Master Qing*  or *Jullie Jharede*.

## Movements and Fighting Style

Hero's Fighting style is really iconic and significant for the character's design, since, as said in the later ''Story'' paragraph just above this one, tells that Hero passed to learn various different fightng styles, and later, while on the preperation, and training for the ''Nóicanimatnoc'' (Contamination) magic, he also learned the enhanced version of Swordsmans' Art, the secret martial art; **Shi Zhu Do**, and later on the series' history, learned how to do a type of Throw-Like style called **Kaera Nage**, or **Kaeranaguken**, which includes iconic moves like the *Backward-Roll Kick Throw*, the *Throw-Down Shoulder Throw*, and thanks to Jullie's later affiliation, he learned how to do the *Loghene-Throw*

Making an aggresive, but kind of neutral style with excelent stats of Offense, Defense, Stamina, Endurance, and Magic. Making **Hero** on of the best and strongest characters on Swords and Knives' world.

## Personality

Hero usually acts rude and harsh when on a fight, or when dealing with something important. But usually, he's a very heartfull and generous person, but also, as a Knight, Warrior and a Protector, he usually has to act carefully, and mysteriously with people he meets at his travels/expeditions, as well as being a very fun, and a little bit prepotent person when with people he knows, as of, he is a little bit rude, and cocky, but takes thinks seriously when It's needed, and doesn't choke-out jokes at serious moments.

## Story

### Early Life and Childhood

Hero Thengh was born in **Oreh, Lowmbther** the day of **April 9th, 1076**. Since Hero was a child he was always interested in Holomore's Great Knights, and about Canama's Rural Martial Artists. All of this eventually lead to Hero practicing the arts that he loved, practicing them in school courses, and on the local Martial Arts dojo with his friend Homes. This training was even more intense and crucial when Hero heard about the new Emperor of the Salemore Empire, the 'Emperor Juiollh' started launching attacks, and invasions on the sorrounding powers, such as The Malon Union, The Canama Republic, and even more shocking for Hero, the Salemore Empire was invading the close-up island to the Salemore Empire, Ghereda. And also the South-West parts of main-land Lowmbther, such as Oreh, were Hero lived at that time.

### Adolescense and Master Qing

Hero's adolescense started when he turned 13 years old, as the law says that this is the age where a kid becomes a 'man'. He started this phase with the usual of his childhood, hang out with Homes, practicing his fighting skills and mostly just get better at what he already did. All seem to be the same, until, and old man came to Hero's house searching for him. Until he found him while explaining to his mom what happened, Hero just came back from the Fighting class with Homes. The old man saw to be a very mysterious man to everyone hearing him. The old man, tho, was actually an 老主人 (Lǎo zhǔrén), which means 'Old Master' in Chinese, and said that It was here in search of a young warrior, Hero presented himself as that 'Young Warrior' and later on, after the old man finally introduced himself as **Master Qing**, and told Hero's mom about the training Hero would receive, both his family and Hero himself accepted to let him with '清大師 / Qīng dàshī' for at least 4 Years

### Contamination Training

After the conversation, and after Hero was sent with Qīng Dàshï, he started training for the so-told contamination magic, which Master Qing said was 'The power of the ancient ones', and that only a pure and noble soul could resist It, as well as confessing to Hero that instead of just a Martial Arts Teacher, It was a Nóicanimatnoc Master, being a person who trained the Heros, who ported the Contamination Magic. And now, the 'Hero' in question was, well, Hero.

And so, after all of the introuduction things were out of the way, Hero started training for the Magic. At first, he was a little bit nervous that Master Qing just kipnapped him, and forced him to do his chores, and train for him, but after the first year of training, Hero actually started to respect, and admire his master, putting him on his life as his second father, and trainer.

And after the fourth year, when Hero was supposed to return home to his hometown on Oreh, he actually decided to stay on with Master Qing and his wife, **Mrs. Qing**, to further expand his training and abilities, for that he sent a letter, and then passed other 3 years of training, as well as learning the misterious and secret martial art of **Shi Zhu Do**, which varies of different fighting styles, such as the 'Ansatsuken' or 'Kaeranaguken' which compose a Qi-related martial art, which Hero learned and implemented on It's already strong martial-art skills.

Dark Hero was born in an incident Hero once had on Salemore, while fighting Yggdrasson.

So, when Hero fell into it, the part of his spirit that part was the part that signified Rage in Hero's spirit materialized into Dark Hero. Hero didn't stop feeling the emotion afterwards, but Dark Hero, being the a raging counterpart of Hero, doesn't feel any emotions (except the ones related to anger) as well as not feeling any regret for his actions. Later, he started feeling hatred towards Hero, and everything related to him, so starting his rivalry.
