Maple Von Raftun.

*"Not everything that shines is gold, but I'll take it anyways!"*

## Introduction

Maple Von Raftun, or more accurately Maple Hashimoto, is the son of Artorias Hashimoto and successor to his father's crime empire. He is a skilled rogue of the APC gang and is known for his skill with knives as well as thievery. His joking demeanour can come off as childish at first, but Maple is really an incredibly empathetic young man who cares deeply for his family. Despite his troubled past, he is a fearsome adversary with his commendable agility, trusty daggers, awakened carnomancy, and dearly beloved lockpick.

## Backstory

*He opens his eyes. A gun in front of him, as usual. Three shots to the guy in front of him. Blood splatter. Grab his gun. Use the kid as a shield. The kid dies. Shoot the second guy in the face. Turn right. And suddenly, it all stops, as the bullet reaches him, and the NERVEGEAR tore another chunk through his neck. He screams horribly, as he drops to the ground. He closes his eyes, as he heard the sound of a rebreather mask and a pair of boots clapping against the ground. A gloved hand grabs him, as it now pat him on the head. The eyes behind the rebreather seemed to smile, as now, a pain courses through him again.* "Not enough, my dear boy, not enough..." *He now cradled him walking over to a group as a bunch of handmaidens dress him up in a beautiful pink dress, crinkled and crumpled. Before he put him down on a couch, and left the room.*

*Time passed so slowly as every single nerve in his body could feel the kisses and the tearing at the skin. After what seemed like hours, he was left there, covered in jewellery and blood, battered and bruised, as now, a man grabs him, throwing him back into the deep, dark pit where he wouldn't see the sun for years. He desperately gropes at the jewlery, whispering into the rocks as he knelt on one knee, the cage for dogs being too small for him to stand in. He looks at the remains of a rat, the critters pecking at the rotten, bloated carcass of what it was once. Maggots crawled in and out of its hide, dotting the skin with white larvae and rotten juices He sighed and dragged it over by its hind leg, grabbing into its skin and digging out flesh to eat, the juice and brown blood covering the lavish jewlery. Maggots cover his face as he tore the organs out like a beast. He was incredibly malnourished, and at least the disgusting rotten flesh kept him alive and barely away from starvation. But for now, this was his life.*
