## History

### Early Life

Referred to as “Pell" for short, stumbled upon a town called “Purgatoire” when he was 6 with his grandmother and had lived there since. The settlement is secluded to those who pass but open to those who enter. Purgatoire itself consisted of multiple smaller, highly developed villages with residents that were deemed to be more on the odd side of their race or tribe and unfortunate enough to be born in a place less welcoming to these mutations. Races were varying from humans that were just born with a defect to those who were on the borderline of being called human with their personalities. Purgatoire was said to be a settlement that originally had been one larger town but due to various disagreements with residents of other races and their natures the creator of the place, “Ofelia”, had used a spell she herself had created to create large walls of mist that prevented races from crossing if they had a history of causing “trouble”.

### A Cruel Race

Pell’s grandmother, Pran, was a human doctor advanced in surgery who had saved Pell’s life with her surgical skills. However her town’s officials were highly against helping those from other races, as well as the act of surgery itself due to its contradiction to their praying way of healing. Pran was well liked by those who needed help but couldn't afford to meet with a priest. As such the officials were unable to kick her from the village until they had caught her living with Pell, a Dhampir. Chased out of her home with Pell in her arms under accusations of “Feeding organs of failed surgery patients to the dhampir in order to gain power” as ridiculous as the claim was the appearance of a Dhampir in their human village had offset those who didn't know her. The locals who had been saved by her attempted to stall for enough time for them to escape. However the greed of humans had been shown on full display when they themselves attempted to capture them after hearing there was a reward of 200 gold on them. Pran had been devastated by the betrayal but still managed to escape. She encountered Ofelia as she was on the run and injured, begging for help Ofelia had allowed them to enter but to not leave for at least a decade should they enter so as to not risk their location being revealed to those with malicious intentions. Pran agrees and they enter.

### Family Genetics

Four years later on Pell’s 10th birthday he asks his grandmother to teach him about alchemy as he has seen the vendors on the street sell interesting brews that can supposedly heal any wound. His grandmother agrees on the condition he never use it for harm as well as promising him that she won't be that great as she only uses potions in surgeries to repair fractures bones. Pran is shocked to find out about Pell’s immediate understanding of how to mix potions. After some testing she concluded that Pell’s mother was in fact a witch and he was more genetically gifted with a “Witch” ability instead of that of a “Wizard” or “Warlock”. Pran introduced Pell to some witches in the medical sector of the Purgatoire in hopes of him having more fun in their new home. She often left the Witches to watch Pell as she ran errands or worked her part time job in the Medical Ward of the sector. The witches had been openly hostile to most humans but had accepted any human that came into Purgatoire as their own friends as the circumstances imply everyone's past here. The witches often told Pell about how cruel humans can be as they had experienced it themselves. Pell only 10 was quite horrified by humans as told in their stories but knew not every human could be as cruel as they described as his grandmother herself was a human and she was the nicest person he’s ever seen.

### The Start of Cruelty

The witches often talked about how what his grandmother did was often that similar to what a mortician does but on the living. Pell had never heard the word before so he asked about it innocently, the witches intended to give him a little scare by describing what a mortician does,saying that they tinker with corpses and turn them into horrible monsters as a joke. However, Pell was instead extremely fascinated by the concept of being able to change what something is into another at his own will. Somewhere in his heart a small flame sparked, His megalomaniac personality. The witches tried to tell him that it was just a joke but by the time they started Pell had already run out of the door to ask his grandmother to take him to the sector of Purgatoire that houses intelligent undead. Reluctant but weak to her adopted grandson she allowed it as long as she went with him. Six years later and Pell’s mere fascination had turned into that of an uninteresting hobby. He had long since explored the Undead sector and studied various other undead creatures that had allowed him to. He had not yet found what he was looking for. That is, until he happened to walk past a sick dog that he had seen earlier eating out of a trash can, worried he took the dog to his own makeshift morgue.

Potions had not worked on the dog and its life eventually expired. Pell began to weep tears for the poor creature that had died and his inability to save it, but he wondered what it would be like to examine a recently deceased creature instead of a living sentient one. He originally hesitated but entered more of a relaxed state as he cut the dog open and began to search inside it. What was originally disgust and regret slowly turned into enjoyment and thrill as he had dug his hands inside of the slimy, still warm, and veiny organs. For a second he had forgotten he wanted to see what caused the death. He had found a small chunk of metal, presumably from a can logged inside its digestive system. The cuts inside its intestines were already beyond repair. Pell began to wonder if he could revive this poor dog if he could find another dog with a healthier intestine, or some other creature with similar insides.

### Hate and Curiosity

Two years later Pell’s grandmother, Pran, had passed away while she was outside of Purgatoire. Her ten years had passed and she wished to go back to her hometown to see her old neighbors and forgive them for their cruel actions as she was sure that they just acted in the heat of the moment. News came back that the villagers had stoned her to death then burned her at the stake. Apparently older villagers had remembered her and thought she came back for vengeance. They had quickly thrown stones at her while telling others that she was a criminal who was banished from the village long ago in the name of their god. Pell was devastated by the news of how she had died. He recalled the witches from the medical sector telling him about how cruel humans could be. He no longer doubted their words and had lost any sympathy he had for the humans outside of Purgatoire. A year later he expanded his knowledge of creatures from venturing all of the villages in Purgatoire. He had developed more interest in every part of living beings. Not just their guts but their brains, muscles, and bones. He studied to modify these creatures for what was originally to kill time but developed into something he felt he had to do to satisfy the feeling he gets from violating the dead even if they had no connections to him. He simply found it to be incredibly enjoyable.

### A New Page

A year later. Pell is now 20 and chooses to venture outside the Purgatoire, the fog should have stopped him from leaving due to his crimes in his morgue. But it didn’t. The fog walls didn't stop people who had crime records from passing through it. It stopped those who knew what they did was a crime and was wrong. Pell perceived his actions as acceptable and nothing odd about it so the fog could not stop him from leaving. Pell had been amazed by how bright it was outside of Purgatoire as well as all the life there was. Plants he’d never seen, monsters unthinkable, races he’d never seen before, even inside of Purgatoire. Pell had left behind corpses of monsters, animals, and sometimes even lone humans or humanoid creatures with missing organs, bones, or other things from their corpses. He had been walking in the forest with his familiar one day and something behind him. As he turned he saw what seemed to be the outline of a frog with a magic hat before he was knocked unconscious. Pell then awakes naked in a cell with people he had never seen before. They seemed like an interesting bunch and his mind could only wonder what sort of things were going to happen next with this strange group.
