Redizon Senpai

Lore

The Kingdom of Avɑsiɑ lay to the north west, a half frozen tundra, in the land simply dubbed by its inhabitants as the Winterlands. It is here that the ratkin settled long ago. Further west lay the Crystal Pine forest home to the Mouselings, a distance relative of the Ratkin, who live simple lives of farming and producing lumber for trade. To the South of the Winterlands lay the more moderate climates home to the Cat Folk of Lunaveil, a place of great trade and commerce. And to the East lay vast land which eventually turned into the Arjat Sea.The history of Avasia is one of war and discovery. When the Cat Folk first made contact with the Avɑsiɑ there was a brutal war of attrition. Both sides suffered heavy losses and committed atrocities. Eventually the war ended in a truce. "Never again!" it was said that, " No war between our people shall happen again!" Both sides eventually, albeit slowly over the course of years, found kinship in the other.Avɑsiɑ, now knowing that there were bigger threats, sent out scouts in all directions. One such party eventually met the Arjat Sea which led to a fishing village finally being built. The wonders of the sea were now theirs to explore. That is until they discovered the continent of Buursaah. A desert landscape giving way to a massive savana. It was here that they made first contact with the Lamia, or Vassik as they were known.Little can be said about the Vassik besides they were a cruel and twisted people. They thrived on cannibalism, war, and general destruction. And those of Avasia’s scouts that made it back bore the scars. Unfortunately, The Vassik followed the scouts back. Hoards began crossing the sea in great swaths searching for blood. Avasia ushered forth its great armies in response to the invasion and loss of its villages.Redizon was born some years prior to this, having grown up to the age of 16 by the time of the war in a small town named Hosmith, with his 14 brothers and sisters. Redizon witnessed the soldiers come and go with their great machines of war, all seemed bright. The king had declared that, “ They shall not pass!”It soon became clear to Redizon that that was false when he awoke to the sounds of artillery and gunfire startled him and his family. The soldiers that came to their village pounding on doors and issuing an evacuation order a year later told him everything he needed to know. His family and the rest pushed towards the nearest city of Lorakin. It was here that he and his family found shelter as refugees, but Redizon refused to sit idly by while his home was in danger.Falsifying his age, Redizon joined the Royal Army at the age of 17. He was quickly thrown into a demolition squad and taught how to operate all manner of things, ranging from his Majeck Rifle, to how to properly set traps. Only after a month was he once more thrown into the thick of it. He received his orders to move out and finally met the enemy that had ruined his life.The first time Redizon slayed a Vassik was with explosives. The entire platoon was nothing more than a crater, and he could only smile devilishly. It wasn’t long before he truly became mad with power, arming entire trenches to watch them turn his foes into nothing more than a bad memory. That is until four years later, when he was once more forced to engage his mortal enemy in close combat. By this point Redizon had changed. No longer the same sane young Ratkin that left his mother without warning. He readied his rifle and slotted the Majeck crystal into the weapon and waited. His team had been caught in the middle of arming a trench when a rogue group of Vassik had slipped through the line and was cutting down his brothers and sisters.Redizon, standing shoulder to shoulder with those around him, waited for the enemy to round the corner and when they did he and his comrades opened fire. Blue bolts of mana rushed forth to meet the snake things in a barrage of light. Those in the front line were cut down by those wicked blades but not before taking many Vassik with them. After what seemed like an eternity, it was over. He and his men finished their objective and fell back to rest.That night while Redizon lay on a pile of supply boxes, he stared up into the night sky watching the stars, when he noticed one star seemed brighter than the rest. He sat up and squinted. “ What the…” Was the thought going through his mind.As he watched the “star” it did indeed get brighter… and closer.Before he knew it, the light had made it seem almost like daytime. That’s when the screaming started. All around him were cries of terror at the light in the sky. Then came the feeling of lightness. As if gravity had flipped things around him began to float into the air and slowly drift to the sky. More screams filled his ears, louder now. He looked round him and saw his fellow soldiers being pulled into the light.Redizon quickly grabbed a hold of a wooden support for the trench clinging desperately trying to hold on as he too began to lift into the air. Before he knew it, it was no longer a slight tug but a full on pulling, as if the sky had reached down and grabbed him. Soon his arms began to ache and his grip seemed to falter but he held on. Even as the strap to his rifle tightened to its max and his weapon flailing around on his back slamming into him over and over. Then, his worst nightmare came true. The wood of the support was old and rotten after years of rain and snow, it gave way, crumbling in his arms.Redizon did not even realize when his own screams had joined the chorus around him as he watched in horror as the ground became slowly enveloped by the light surrounding him. Soon all he could see was brightness and lights of all colors even those unknown to him or any living creature had ever seen. Then, nothing.When Redizon awoke, he knew only that he was in a mountainous region. Thus he began to explore the world around him until he discovered a massive cave, no, a bunker. Upon entering he soon realized he could read the strange words on the signs. It wasn’t long before he locked the bunker down and became acquainted with everything inside and realized he was no longer in his home world. He became more and more insane as time went on until finding another way down deeper into the unknown depths of his new home. What lies beneath? Only he knows, and maybe it's for the best because the things he found and saw drove him into a deeper madness until finally coming to the conclusion that there must be something controlling the universe. It is now his duty, as he sees it, to spread the “truth” about the world and its strange lies and mysteries.
