[b][color=gray]Life Leading Up To the Apocalypse // What Brings You to Altsoba[/color][/b] Deacon was born into an English/Latin speaking Isolated druidic equivalent of a monastery. The land, referred to by it's few inhabitants as Sarvonia, was completely hidden and inaccessible to non-druidic born humans, and was technologically similar to the celt's prior the Christian revolution. Before the Christian invasion of surrounding lands, Sarvonia was once a vastly populated region of enormous prosperity and wealth. Non-druids commonly occupied the massive caves, and often were trained in the way of druids. After Christian soldiers began slaughtering celtic pagans and druids, the Council of Sarvonia magically sealed the sole entrance, and the kingdom of Sarvonia soon became nothing but a myth, and then completely erased from the memory of humanity. Being born a druid, Deacon was one of a few thousand humans capable of leaving and entering Sarvonia as he pleased, albeit he did not until he reached adulthood. Born of the Council, Deacon was an incredibly gifted druid from birth, but at the age of Fourteen he achieved something unheard of in druidic communities, Mastery over all six Druidic Essences. With this capability, he was able to Influence the Essences of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Plant, and Animal. In Druidic Belief, everything in existence falls under one of the six Essences, and exists in two realms, the Corporeal, and the Spiritual, both of which coincide. Druid magic revolves around altering the Essence of something, which in turn affects it's Element (corporeal manifestation). After he completed his training at 14, he stayed in Sarvonia until he reached the age of adulthood. After he left, he was provided with forged documentation of his existence and went to a University in Washington State to eventually receive a Doctorates degree in Veterinary Medicine. Shortly after, he moved to Altsoba Washington and began practicing his work. He moved to Altsoba due to his knowledge that it was a beacon for supernatural beings, and that someone needed to be there and protect the unsuspecting humans. In Altsoba, he met a woman named Marie, with whom he fell in love with and eventually married. After five years of Marriage, his wife was killed in a "Freak Bear attack" while jogging through the forest one morning, an act that absolutely devastated Deacon, causing him to become deeply depressed, and eventually contemplate suicide. After a few years, he learned to ease his anguish, bringing him out of his depression. Although he now lives contently, the death of his wife changed him to a bit quieter, more somber man.

[b][color=gray]Extra Information:[/color][/b] [color=gray][center][i]"Once, a Scorpion found a Turtle at a river, and asked him to carry him across to the other side. The Turtle denied him, saying 'If I carry you across, You'll sting and Kill me!' The Scorpion then said 'No I will not! If I sting you, you will die and I will drown, it would kill us both.' Hearing this, the Turtle was convinced and began to carry the Scorpion across the river. Half-Way across, the Scorpion stung the Turtle, and as the Turtle died from the Poison, and the Scorpion drowned, the Turtle asked the Scorpion, 'Why did you sting me? Now we will both die!' To which the Scorpion responded, 'It is my Nature'."
