## Background/History

Summary (TLDR): Aquilo was a very noble boy who from a young age was forced to be perfect and strong for the respect/safety of his high class family, he has very few hobbies other than reading about pirates. at age 11 he finally finds a friend for himself named Jessie who lives a poor fisherman life, and Aquilo romanticizes his lifestyle and tries to run away with him, only to be denied and taken down a level for idolizing being poor.

He goes back home only for his moms to find out he’s been sneaking out with some poor child of a pirate and yells at him. He lashes out at them and explains everything the next day, they finally make up and things are looking better when Aquilo goes to Jessie’s house and say goodbye, He’s not there, and when he returns home, an unknown organization had targeted his family and burnt down Aquilo’s home, killing his mothers inside.

He is left on the streets as people search for him he goes to hiding with this old retired priest named Arther and they accidentally got really close instead of having it be just temporary, Aquilo told Arthur everything always and they had this father/son relationship, a few months in Aquilo searches around the church a little too much and finds some old shrines of the gods the town worshipped, one in the back garden was in bad condition so he cleaned it a little but got himself stuck under rocks as another shrine caved in.

Arthur wasn’t home so he almost submitted to his fate before the god of luck and karma appeared, she thanked him for cleaning her shrine as the rocks miraculously fell away and off of him. She said she had watched him and said fate would eventually go his way. She disappeared and he began to clean hers and the other remaining shrines daily, occasionally giving offerings.

A year or so has passed and Aquilo is now 13, he’s lived with Arthur for a year and the kings guards have given up mostly. Everything is going Aquilo’s way until it isn’t and he starts hearing whispers of a second attack from that “organization” in town and gets sent to a blind rage, he restarts up his training with manifestation as well. He gets angry at everything, the organization, the king, the gods, his mothers, Jessie, but mostly himself. He practices with Arthur and decides to go back to the kingdom to get more info, against Arthur’s better wishes
