**EARLY LIFE EVENTS**

Survive

For most of his life, Kevin lived in a small village, mostly populated by humans, he worked many jobs, most of them being physical labor. While Kevin was a smart young man, interested in engineering, redstone and even the arcane, his high aspirations would be shot down as his family had no money to send him to the far away and fancy school, so he settled for being a soldier. Kevin was one of the best fighters in town as he joined the military. He was one of the strongest yet also fastest fighters, in battle, he would find openings in opponents when others could not and swiftly strike them down. As time passes Kevin would soon meet the love of his life, after dating for a few years the two would decide to get married together, fusing their last names, becomes Mr. and Mrs. Ainsheart

   For the most part they had a happy, stable life together, earning enough money to even get out of poverty and become lower-middle-class, after which they would decide to have a son, who they would name Jack Ainsheart. From here on out things became easier for the family as the village grew more advanced, robotics, new buildings, foreigners started to move in, and Kevin was now in charge of a secret military squad which was filled with assassins and great fighters which takes direct confidential orders from the higher ups of the village.

   This was both good and bad for the Gunslow family, as both Mr. and Mrs. Gunslow would face great danger from people who are seeking revenge on Kevin but will also receive great income boosting the family to the higher end of society.

   Kevin worked hard in the army, but he wanted to master more skills. He wanted to learn more. Due to Kevin’s connection with people as the secret military commander, he would find an old man who was the master of crafts and became a student of his. Kevin would help him gather resources on his free days, but somehow with all this work, he still was a great father for Jack, teaching him many skills and homeschooling him in mathematics and combat skills, but from all his work he soon fell ill due to overworking, but he would push through.

   Kevin saw the village expand larger and larger, but he was happy for it, until the village expanded into the Great forest, this forest was inhabited by legendary creatures and spirits who blesses the land, but the village seldom worried about these creatures as they would be protected by their magical robots made of cold hard steel. The humans began to get greedy and one night they led the army to launch a sneak attack into the woods. While Kevin knew this was a horrible choice of the humans, he had no choice but to stay alerted and protect his family. He knew it was his time to leave the military and get ready to escape the town. The great forest’s creatures however were defeated and the humans began to scavenge everything from the villages. This angered the legendary creatures and spirits and one night the forest launched a deadly and successful attack, ransacking and destroying most of everything in the village, and there was nothing left, nothing but rubble.

The Invasion

Kevin was learning from the old master when the creatures attacked, he engaged in protecting the old master against the enraged monsters, he defeated one monster commander and another but he was overrun. He lost an arm and was bleeding everywhere, he was forced to retreat to his home but he was only greeted by the ruins of buildings and a dead family, with his wife’s corps nearby the home and his son missing, something within Kevin broke, everything he has worked for in his life was just gone, Kevin would blame himself for being incapable and week, he neither did protect the old master nor his family. He took it upon himself to improve these skills, while the people in the village mourned their families and moved to different villages to start a new life, Kevin would stay in the ruins of his village, working on inventions and mastering the arts of his combat and different weapons. He was a broken man and as he grew more depressed, he began to grow addicted to drinking.

   But his family was not lost on him, he took it upon himself and make the his first prosthetic, while he dug his wife and son their own graves, but Kevin couldn’t shake the feeling, his sons body was not within the village, but instead of comforting him, this hurt him further, thinking of his beloved son just broke his heart, he had failed him, and where ever he is. He probably hates his father now, looking upon the wooden carvings he and his son made together, he saw one that Jack had made when he was only 4, a small wooden stick, with the words “Ainsheart Family Forever” with all three of the family members names etched on the bottom, seeing this Kevin fell even deeper in the rabbit hole, he will become the one to destroy the forest and drown the creatures in blood.

   Kevin spent nights, weeks, months, years working on the broken down robotics honing his skill and intelligence, but through these years his vices would grow, he would drink more and more, the overworking would permanently damage his body. Kevin would soon look unrecognizable, from being a headstrong muscular and intelligent man, what was left was an alcoholic with scars everywhere and a face that looked like it belonged to a corpse. Despite that, all his years of training and innovation allowed him to become the master of weapons and crafts, and this allowed him to continue working, but suddenly, one day, his body felt as if it was about to shut down, all the work, all the drinking, his body just couldn’t take it anymore. Then, Kevin thought of a solution, one that would require him to shed humanity, he wanted to learn the ways of immortality. He would spend days and nights not sleeping, studying the magical components of destroyed robots, looking for a possible solution for his body slowly decaying, his body slowly dying, and he would soon find that after visiting the great archmage tower, it was impossible to become immortal. The archmage however gives Kevin a totem of undying. The mage told Kevin at his state of health it would only delay his death.

   Using this magical wooden doll as a temporary solution Kevin would spend every week without sleep finding a solution to his body while improving his prosthetic arm to become a tool and a deadly weapon. One day as he worked on the arm, something hit him. He had an idea. If he could transplant his body parts into a machinery using magic he could expand his life span indefinitely, over the years, Kevin slowly replaced his body part, it gave him great strength and agility where as a side effect it also made him look younger. He called this invention the “Altera”. There is a problem however, after using different machine body parts for months, Kevin’s mind would begin to warp, his body was not meant to take this magical power and he would begin losing memories, to attempt to fix this, Kevin would build other bodies and machines using it as a sort of “glue” to keep his memories together. As a side effect he would often switch personalities, he would turn chaotic or even mad at times. One night in his dreams he saw the attack, watching as his son stood there, helpless, crying and calling his dad’s name. Kevin was tired of being reminded of his failure, the pain, his inadequacy, he would take one of the few things that reminded him still of his son and he etched Jack’s name out of the wooden carving. He loved his son, but thinking of him brought him endless pain.

**RECENT LIFE EVENTS**

Vices By The Dozen

To keep away from the memories and the pain Kevin would again continue to drink, clearly not learning his lesson. To make money for these drinks he would sell inventions and work as an assassin killing people all around the world. At home he would drink, drink, and drink. Alcohol is what filled his life for the oncoming decades, but he would also further hone his craft, his ability to fight. He even further honed his understanding of magic and its systems, and he even attempted to put the village back together, though no nearby nation or authority would aid him in the financial part of this project, as they did not want the land, knowing it is prone to be attacked by nearby forest creatures.

   Kevin is alone, in a forgotten village, everyday he would drink to cope with his past but in his drunken state he became enraged, pointing the finger at the forest inhabitants for massacring his village, he took it upon himself to take revenge, he used his knowledge to craft weapons and tools, using the robots he had made as a sort of army and launched an attack on the forest inhabitants. He only decided to do this in his drunken rage and could not think clearly, the forest dwellers have evolved from their days with mud and huts, they have become a full civilization. Kevin ’s attack was deadly as his skills in combat and weapons were honed throughout the decades. With his robotic body, he was unstoppable.  He murdered and destroyed villages after villages. Many powerful creatures and spirits fell, and the great forest began to crumble. However one day as he attacked, he was met by the legendary monsters. These creatures will defeat Kevin and shatter him in pieces.

**PRESENT LIFE**

Shadow Die Twice

   After an extremely long time, he woke up laying in an abandoned laboratory hanging from the ceiling using chains.

“So you are awake, Altera” An unknown man says as he walks closer to Kevin. “Who are you?” Kevin says as he looks at the mysterious man wearing a lab coat. “You can call me your savior. This is 54 years in the future, you have caused quite the chaos haven’t you?” Says the mysterious man. “Where am I and who are you?” Kevin repeats his question. “You are in a laboratory that was abandoned 3 years ago. 54 years ago, you were destroyed in the great forest, and some of your robots managed to escape with their vital parts. However they ran out of power and were found by me and a group of engineers decades later. We have spent decades trying to fix you but these body parts were too complicated and after many years, the engineers one by one left this place and the project was abandoned and I am the only one left with my two assistants” explains the engineer. “And why did you try to resurrect me knowing I am a threat?” Asks Kevin. “Good question, I want to use you to destroy the country. These people do not acknowledge my wisdom, they killed my family and I want revenge. You are the perfect example of the peak of engineering, I will use you to destroy this country one way or another!” The engineer begins to laugh like a maniac and begins twirling the tools he has in his hand. However Kevin was not in his control, he still had the skill of combat and weaponry and during that night, he broke free of the chains and used it to slaughter the man and escaped the laboratory.

   Kevin decided that he no longer had any ambitions, the things that passed had already passed and nothing could be done. He will leave his old life behind and start anew with the name “Altera” working as an inventor, the first place he was to visit of course was his old home, where he said goodbye to his broken down house he repaired and the graves of his wife and his son. He gathered some tools and supplies that were in working condition and left on a journey to work as an inventor. Eventually he settled down in a tavern, helped the tavern owner with some repairs, earning him a drink, and as he drank his beer and discussed his plans with the other, similarly drunk men. The men would laugh at him, telling him that there are no “poor inventors'' and that nobody would take an alcoholic convict with no real education seriously, the men would tell him that he needs to rebuild first, he needs to go back to being a laborer, just for awhile, to earn him enough cash to become an inventor. Kevin would take this blow to his plans quite well, and after finishing his drink he would stand up on the table and proclaim his thought

“Who has a job for an old man like me?” From the awkward silence that this brought upon the tavern, a Prostor Elf would raise his hands,

   “Do you even know how to fight?” The Prostor Elf snapped, “Of course! Who doesn’t!” Kevin responded hastily, “You can come and join us if you’d like.” The Prostorian Elf said confidently, Kevin would then come closer to their table only to see something.

   Strangely enough, one of the robots he made was here, sitting next to the Prostor elf, and along those two were a massive bird, a knull elf and a rotting corpse of a man.

   “Where’d you get that robot? Kevin asks in a confused manner “No, I found it in a desert ruin.” The scarred up Knull Elf responded, “You look like you can fight, but we can all fight, what else can you do?” the Knull Elf added,

   “Well, I'm an engineer, I believe I know how to work your friend over there Kevin eagerly replies, “Intriguing, this thing’s old, are you a specialist? You wouldn’t expect anybody nowadays to know how this works.” the Prostorian Elf adds, “I guess you can say so, I know my way around machines, but I might need to brush up on some modern knowledge.”

    Kevin replies, in drunken confidence, “We’re gonna make the big bucks with you, you’re in.” the Prostor Elf says in a snap, the Knull Elf rolls his eyes at him as he says it, Kevin can’t be any happier to finally start a new life, but in one of his pockets, the wooden carving lies there, untouched, the robot looks at him intently, as if he is thinking about something. His past will catch up to him, even in his new life.
