### Biography

Jon was a soldier in the kings claw, trained from birth to be the finest of soldiers. He was raised to believe in only the king, and to have undivided loyalty to Stormfoot. After countless battles, fighting in the name of honor and protection, Jon met one war he couldn’t brute force his way through. Getting hit with an unknown object, Jon was paralyzed, unable to do anything as his entire company was wiped out. Upon finding him, his enemies left him to die. Trying to come to terms with his inevitable death, Jon had lost hope. Bleeding out, Jon was on his last breath. As he started to lose consciousness, he saw a blurry figure approach him. Waking up in an unfamiliar environment, Jon was greeted by the friendly face of a traditional woman, garbed in a white and red robe. Fascinated by the ears and tails that adorned her body, Jon felt a strange attachment to his savior. Opening his mouth to speak his gratitude, Jon found himself unable to speak words past “my name Jon.” Giving a small giggle, The woman introduced herself as Aki’ta, a foreigner from the far-off continent of Kara-Tur. She explained that while she had managed to cure his paralysis, he had severe brain damage remaining, limiting his speech. Labelled as KIA by the high kings claw, Jon spent years paying off his life debt to Aki’ta, much to her disappointment. Over the years, Jon and Aki’ta became close, and fell in love. Heading off to Aki’ta’s home village, Jon and Aki’ta got married, and settled down in a nearby forest, having a kid, who they named Ri’shee. In an attempt to give his child, and wife a normal, happy life, Jon didn’t willingly return to his duties under the king, instead opting to stay with his family. However, after a few years with no source of income, Jon had no choice but to return to the high kings claw. Leaving his family behind, Jon swore to return one day with wealth unimaginable. Opening the gates to Stormfoot's throne, Jon returned in a blaze of glory. As the last surviving member of his company, Jon was able to provide a detailed recap (through writing, obviously). Using this new information, the high kings claw was finally able to quench the bloodlust of the enemies that took Jon's friends. Continuing to serve the guard, Jon thought every day of his wife and son at home, giving him comfort, and determination in his many battles fought. One day, The king was attacked by a creature like he had never seen before. Watching the rest of the guard flee in an effort to protect their own lives, Jon was given the courage to stand and fight alongside a group of people, varying in race, and status. Empowered by their mere Presence, Jon stood up to the enemy of the king, protecting him with all he could. Jon took a beating, one akin to the beating by the trenches. Remembering that day, Jon fled, not wanting cause grief of his family losing him. Turning and running, A bright glow emanated from behind him. Facing where the king once stood, he saw a void of air, surrounded by the warriors that tried to aid the king, all mourning. Writing a letter to his family, stating his intent to find the king, and set things right. Setting out to find the king, Jon followed tracks, leading him to an underground club, located in the sewers. Searching around for a lead, Jon stood out amongst the crowd, and getting noticed by unfriendly faces. Taken to a backroom, Jon was attacked by supporters of the kings assailant. Jon fought back, slicing through waves of goons like they were butter. In the midst of combat, Jon didn’t realize one sneaking up behind him. He hit Jon with a piece of pipe, knocking him out. Upon regaining consciousness, Jon found himself greeted with a face looming over him. Surveying his environment, Jon found himself in a dark, gritty room, tied to a steel chair. Wiggling around in his ropes, Jon winced in pain. Looking down at his arms, he found them distorted, shattered by the same pipe to knock him out. His tormentor further beat him, asking him questions, promising his release if he answered. All Jon could say was “my name Jon.” Heartbroken at his fate, seemingly sealed, Jon bowed his head in defeat. He was taken outside onto the streets where his assailant broke his neck, killing him instantly, yet framing it as an unfortunate accident with a passing wagon. Jon’s last thoughts were of his family, and how dearly he held them to his heart, before his vision faded black, and 2 lights emerged. Jon followed the light on the right, giving way to a disgruntled man, with long black hair, and pale skin, accompanied by a companion, taking the shape of a fox.
