If there's a beast that threatens his people, he will hunt it. More often than not hurting those that try to stop him, by showing mercy to the beast if it killed a criminal or by saying harsh words. Some of the people hardly called him a hero at all. Not only due to how distant he was for the village, but also because of how hard his ways and words are. "The deaths of these children would allow you to eat tomorrow." Is an example of one of his more ‘gentle’ moments. He’s not the most tactful message bearer. Aoc, He is a guardian. Not being a guardian of just people, he regards strength and battle prowess as the most important of features in a person. He will die to protect the strongest of weaklings, so that the weakest of weaklings might grow stronger. He tries to adhere his ways to be in tune with the natural laws. He loves herbs, plants and water. He does have a bit of distrust towards new people he meets. The more romantic part of his nature is mostly found to be by dancing for and with people. He has a soft spot for dogs and horses). Conversations with him can be long and enchanting as he makes up great stories of glory that passed away in the old days. And ultimately, he seems to love romance, in his own unconventional moments. Most people that know him would say that the better you know him, the gentler you can handle his fragile, strange and sometimes exotic person.

[/list] [h3][b][i][color=6ecff6][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b][color=6ecff6] Backstory: [/color][/b] Just make sure to include all relavent details - it can be as short as three paragraphs or more, so long as everything is there. The masterfull quil, The story of this champion begins not at the dawn of time, but really at the first creation of his kind learning writing. Little did and do the humans know that their power lies in their written texts and not in their memories. Xiv was a man who would write down good words. His writing was consistant, it was true and people felt like they came alive when reading from it. His own powers were next to none in the beginning. Many knew that only good words would never make a world real or lead to real good. For what is good without evil? So his people created vile words. Horrific heresys using their master's quill. In doing so, he wrote them of a new word: "Love". In an attempt at justifying his people before the law he made earlier, the man wrote a word upon himself: "Law" That word he held written on him for 5 years total. After that, it was decided that Xiv would be more than a man. The towns elderly came together and granted him their best tools. They planned on casting him down a cliff and remaining in control of the village. Under the guise of it being an offering to the gods. They said a serpent would come and take him to the edge of the world. Though Xiv knew their intentions. He had seen them act this way before. Upon being cast down willingly regardless, a snake did appear and bit him. Grabbing unto the snake and crawling back up, he kept the gear. The venom made him fall asleep for a whole day. He woke up having a form of ADHD. “The thrill of the hunt.” Man named it. He walked back to the village he once loved and was willing to die for their fears. Only it was destroyed. All of the shiny colored stones were gone as were his people. Ever since that day he’s never been the same. He renamed himself Xivaoc “a series of unpronouncables” Quetz. He would become a myth. That much was certain. If he could scare his foes by writing, how much more terrifying would it be if the myth became true. He wrote his myth. As though he was a fearsome warrior, blessed by powers beyond this world. He stayed true to the ways of old. And he did hunt. He hunted to survive. He tracked down the people who took his family and some stones from them. He was stealthy in the night to travel past the guards unnoticed. He was humming the dogs back to sleep and telling the horses to remain calm. After freeing his people from the camp of the enemy, he left them with their illiterate elderly and with a tablet containing his myth according to the words of the elderly. He then, before the sun had risen, placed his own written account of the events in the camp of the enemy. Not as a hint to take them on again, but as a warning, that he could have killed them all, but sparred them. He left them his weapons, shield, cloak and even his mask. Though the enemies couldn’t do anything with it, they took it home and opened a museum. Ultimately, an infectious leech got the better of him, as our hero died in his favorite writing spot. The waterfall pool that was in the heart of the jungle. Years after he died, the two documents became into a new conflict. And only his corpse gave light to the truth. For he had died, literally on the paper that settled many disputes. The tools he had were examined and enchanted during these times. His loincloth to sustain one’s body beyond regular injury. His cloak with a teleportation and stealth device. All of his weapons that were from wood originally were replaced by their mythical material counterparts. His mask was the most courageous piece of engineering in the artifacts department. Being able to completely transmutate a live and moveable tree around a person, understand dog and horse noises (as these were the most used at the time) and can give tour information to its wearer as it arrives at important destinations mentioned in most museums. These things would be lost however, as when they recreated the myth, the various rivalries and mockeries of the texts caused a breakdown of the museum in which all of these were stored. The government told people to stay out of the rubble and had to enforce it. Until they too passed away and knowledge of this story was lost. [b][color=6ecff6]Myth:[/color][/b] This immortal being hunts the very greatest and wildest of beasts. He rode the giant snake to edge of the world and overruled all of its monsters. He left unscathed. He's stared into the abyss and won the contest. Having toppled buildings, high sprinters and being older than time could tell, His spirit has undergone immensive training and has mastered the spirit of the true beast. He guards the laws by which the worlds run. Both in life and in temporary death, he serves mankind as best he can. For many years the mask was silent and in hands of a corpus mind. But even that would not defeat the champion. Legend has it, that if you can either conquer or rip out his heart, he dies, leaving you the eternal life. His legend as a great hunter preceeds those in the west of the world. The others not so much. It is said the weapons and their original powers were stolen or lost with the words. They might be spread across the world. They might be hidden on the very corners of the world. But one thing is certain. Xivaoc will rise again!
