## Backstory

Aether didn't want anything but to help people, and give them the happiness xey were unable to have.

Xey fought several battles in his time, from kings to dragons, from dragons to political enemies... He often resorted to force when the other party did a tiny thing xey didn't like, sometimes even brutally murdering them out of impatience and anger. It was a common occurrence. Xey were supposed to be a hero, and he thought of xemself as one, as well as most of the people he met in his time... But some people hated him for how aggressive xey were and considered him a threat, some people even tried taking xem down themselves. He saw them as weak after easily defeating them in battles- But xey never understood their cause. He was a hero, right? So why did people care about xeir methods, as long as they were safe in the end?

Most speculated it was just in his nature, and xey couldn't help it, as it was a part of him... But this was incorrect. There was a reason, xey had never told a soul.  When he was only a few hundred years old, xey only wanted peace, and could barely even raise a blade to an enemy. He hated hurting people, it hurt xem just as much as it did them... He was known as soft, and too much a pacifist to ever be a good enough hero. Well, to xeir father at least.

His father was a well known hero known as The Harbinger of Peace For All Beings, The Harbinger for short... He was known for saving many worlds on the brink of destruction and also for being the first ever kitsune to grow a tenth tail. What many people didn't know, is he murdered many people to do his job. He kept this a secret, knowing he would be seen as evil for the truth... He murdered thousands, maybe even millions, to do his job, and sometimes sacrificed whole worlds for the sake of his own. Aether hated xeir father growing up, his father would always tell him, "You're going to be just like me when you get older." Xey hated the idea of being remotely like his father, but his father criticized him for being a total pacifist, reasoning that he could never achieve complete peace without hurting anyone.

On Aether's two thousandth birthday, xeir father had big plans. What seemed to be a harmless firework show, would destroy the whole world they lived in. His father wanted him dead, seeing xem as useless and as a disappointment.

Luckily, Aether escaped with his sister, Lumine. Their father also escaped, and Aether was forced to kill him. Xey had no other choice... And so, he decapitated him with xeir only weapon, a small dagger given to him by xeir father. It was a horrible sight to see, his father's last words being, "You're going to be just like me." Xey couldn't stand the sight of his father's head, and disposed of it, as well as the rest of the body.

Little did xey know, though, Lumine retrieved it to attempt to revive their father. Unlike Aether, Lumine loved her father very much, and got most of his attention. She thought the universe would not stand a chance without him. Although it is a long process, so Lumine can only wait until she has the necessary materials and time to complete his revival. And when he comes back, no doubt about it, he will murder Aether, slowly and painfully.
