Izw

## The Beginning of a legend

**Izw** was born and raised in the **Country Killin Crips** with his brother **Cripcoin**. They had a rough childhood due to their opps in **63rd** always trying to start trouble. Unlike his brother **Cripcoin**, Izw wasn't destined for a life in the streets, he wanted something more. So, after being bullied by his peers for his height and his fear of guns, Izw fled the **Country Killin Crips**, leaving behind his friends, family, and everyone he knew. Izw eventually stumbled across a Nation called **Merkonis** which took him in as a brother and accepted him generously into their ranks. The citizens of **Merkonis** never had violence towards one another, and never made fun of him for his peculiar height. Izw finally felt like he had found his home.

## Izw did not actually find his home

Shortly after Izw had finally set into his utopian life in **Merkonis**, he got word from gossip on the street, that a war with a powerful nation was brewing soon. In preparation for this fight, he gathered up his old fighting gear from the **Country Killin Crips**, and began to prepare. The war stalled for 2 long months, allowing Izw to train his body to become extremely fit and hone in on his fighting skills. Due to Izw's dedication and **25 hour work days**, he eventually became one of the **best heavyweight boxers** in all of **eldham**. Izw ran into battle with fists as swords and knocked out countless enemies with one punch. He was simply too fast, and too strong, you couldn't catch him, you couldn't see him, he was inevitable.

## Goonism

The leader of **Merkonis**, **Xpxtatoes**, took an interest in an ancient religion known as **Goonism**. This religion was linked to a group known as **"The Goons**" which were a very prevalent bandit and fighting group that originated from around the same place Izw was born. Initially, he fought back against the idea of joining **Goonism**, terrified of the implications of joining his birthplace back. Until he got the news... **Cripcoin** had been killed in a shoot-out, and all of the **Country Killin Crips** had been massacred by two men named **Qualifled** and **Inverse**. Izw set out on his path to vengeance in hopes of feeling some sort of redemption for his lost brothers but when he went to burn down the **Goon city (Goonsville)**, all he found was innocent children playing and young men practicing to become stronger. He saw this place as another Oasis away from his birthplace, and slowly decided to join them and possibly learn more about why such a peaceful people had killed his former family. Turns out, Izw was wrong about his first impression, **The Goons** were bloodthirsty, greedy, and oddly respectable. Izw found the **Goons** way of living to fit him even better than **Merkonis**, and definitely better than his childhood. He started to understand why **Xpxtatoes** was so interested in **Goonism** and decided to join **The Goons** officially. **Xpxtatoes** was ecstatic,and instantly joined as well (There is currently a statue of the **Goon God** in progress in **Merkonis**).

## Life as a Goon

**Izw** settled into **Goonsville** peacefully for a few short days. But just to Izw's luck, another danger was coming to his land just like **Merkonis**, but this time they were on the offense. At first Izw refused to help until he heard that these people were colonists from a far away nation named **Viodoxa** and was being used as a mining colony to extract **Eldham's** resources. Izw started planning their attack with 7 of his fellow **Goons**, and soon the day to strike was upon them. They were outnumber more than 5 to 1, but that wouldn't stop them. The **Goons' battle prowess** allowed them to swiftly kill 40 viodoxans in a matter of 30 minutes. But there were still 10 missing viodoxans somewhere still fighting. Eventually they heard the battle cries coming from a strange black box and worked on prying it open. Inside they found a bloodied, heavy breathing, Izw standing over **10 dead Viodoxans.** Afterwards Izw came home, a **hero** to his people, he could have just retired as a legend to a peaceful life then and there but for some reason he didn't want to. He decided he would keep his battle gear on him and dedicated himself to fighting, which is what he truly found peace in. Izw continued on to challenge multiple people to **1 on 1 fights**, sword against fist, his moral code forced him to always respect 1 on 1s even in his pursuit of fighting he always maintained fairness to his opponents.
