## History

### Early Life

Born in Brasíllia, Rodrigues went to a public school and was bullied for his intrest in sword fighting. It was a rare thing to like, let alone want to pursue and his parents didnt like it either. They wanted him to get a well paying job, not be sword fighting. He mastered his technique from the age of 11 to 19, his father buying him a sword despite what he wanted.

### Before the Glory

He would continue training until he was allowed to join a fight club at 24. Here he would duel other sword fighters and get paid low money, but enough to sustain himself and his family. Here he was a impressive talent and would knock opponents over with ease. At just 28 years old, word got out about how truly incredible his talent was and people paid him money to see his tricks. Eventually at 35 he would teach sword fighting classes to the young kids who were bullied or had an intrest in the art of the blade. He was now earning comfortable money and bought a new private cabin for his parents and rest of his family. He was 48 when an offer came in...

### Humanities Champion

Rodrigues was called by the minister of foreign affairs for a one on one conversation. Here he was asked if he would like to become humanities swordfighting champion for the upcoming championship and he happily obliged. The government gave him a new blade which he nicknamed Silent Sister which was measured to be perfect for the competition and he got a blue exosuit with the united nations logo on it. Rodrigues was sent to Aols-1 for the tournament in the Stellar Star II and arrived within a week. Spaceship trips to Aols-1 were popular and space traffic was crazy. Many were going to see what swordfighting was about and to see who this man was.

In the 3035 championship he first fought the Giaga Champion, winning in a minute and 30 seconds without getting touched once. He was noted for his swift, agile movements. He beat everyone in his path and would meet the Yutior Empire's Champion and in a four minute match eventually got the upper hand and lifted the trophy. He had just won humanity a trophy in his first outing. After that he would win 56 of the 75 trophies and get into the finals of 65.

### Retirement

He won the 3090 tournament to mark the end of his reign as humanities champion and went into retirement. He was regarded as a hero, one of the best at his craft and eventually he would pass of old age in 3100. It is reckoned he would of lived longer but the constant swordfighting decreased his lifespan. He is now known as a legend and is a beacon of hope to those struggling financially or being bullied for their intrests. His successor was Phirun Soun.
