Background Story: Merdok Akechi, son of Samanosuke Akechi, was born in Kyoto, Japan. He was only a child of three years old when his father gave him to their servant so he could go help plow the fields. His father said it was for discipline and strength. Samanosuke Akechi was a writer, a philosopher, and more importantly a member of the high-counsel in Kyoto. Merdok was meant to be a simple servant, but at his early age they noticed a bit of a change about him. He was no mere child. He could read novels by five, and he was placed into what is modernly known as "high-school" by eight.

Merdok was a boy of high intelligence. He had the mind of a grown man at the age of 10, and slowly became a philospher at the age of 12. He was following after his father's footsteps. But, he always spoke of a "hidden village" located beyond the mountains. The people of his village called him a fool for believing that myth, but he thought nothing of it. He didn't have a problem with their dreams, so why would they have a problem with his? Merdok had finally graduated from the Kyoto University at the age of 15, completing what takes most men 11 years to do; it only took him 3. He progressed in his knowledge, but he hungered for something more. He introduced the plan of travelling beyond the mountains, to start a settlement there, but everyone knew full well where he was going.

He was given permission to go, but they proclaimed it would be a long journey for him. He took no chances, and followed through with what he wanted to do. He travelled far and wide to get the mountains, being accompanied by many friends on his travels. He also made quite a few enemies, but none too dangerous. He had found the mountains that the village was said to lay behind, but upon breaching the base of the mountain a small howl came from under the snow. It was a small wolf, covered with straight-white fur. It was wounded in it's legs, so Merdok picked it up and nursed it back to full health on his way up the mountain. The wind began to pick up, and almost took the wolf out of his hands. This was not a good sign. He soon after found shelter in a small ice-cavern where he kept the wolf for a few days. He brought it food from outside after taking out a few birds with a trap of playing "dead."

The wolf had become fine, and decided that one life for the other was a good payment. The creature had stayed by Merdok's side the whole way up and down the mountain, even at winds up to 50 mph. As Merdok neared the half-way mark on the other side of the mountains, he looked outwards. A torch was lit in the distance; there WAS life! He ran down, but was stopped by the screeching of a horn. As he turned around, he saw the snow come piling down. It was an avalanche! And, like most smart animals, the wolf found a pointy rock to hide under; the shelter of the mountain. Merdok tried numerous times to get there, but sadly was taken with the avalanche. As he plummited to the ground, the creators of the avalanche held onto Merdok and pulled him to safety. He awoke with the cold ice-water splashing against his face. He looked up and saw the symbol of the Lin Keui. He jumped to his feet and laughed, having finally found destination. He yelled with joy, but the villagers were not too pleasant with the way he handled things.

Before long, he was training with the Lin Keui. He was taught the two major martial arts of the village: Shotokan and Dragon. He also learned how to wield the Kori Blade, which is a sacred weapon to the Lin Keui, only given to those who should lead the Lin Keui after the previous leader has died.

Merdok had completed his training, and thankfully accepted the gifts from his friends and family made there. He said he would be back in a couple of months, but he was wrong. He went back to see his father, only to be stopped by guards. He was 18, and the village he once loved had been blocked off by gates and guards everywhere. The guards said there was an epidemic; some sort of disease that was killing all of the people. Merdok was a smart enough man. He could create a vaccine, but they just wouldn't let him. The screams from the otherside made Merdok furious, but before long he'd finally lose his mind. Right before his eyes, he saw the guards throw torches inside of the gates. Soon after, the village was lit up like a gigantic bonfire, except people were dying.

Merdok had watched the massacre of his people, and slowly lost all control. The ground began to shake, and his eyes turned white. The scar on his eye began to glow, and his body began to turn a light blue. The guards freaked out when they saw him crystalize. They ran, but they could not escape. His hands reached out like ice-spears and pierced them both through their necks. He twisted his hands around to create holes in their necks, just so they'd die more painful. They gasped for breathe, but could not contain.

Hakuenin never seeing this form before bit Merdok on the lang, and Merdok kicked the dog into the snow. He saw the look on the wolf's face and slowly changed back into normal. He decided this world was unfit. It needed a new ruler. And, he was the one to do it.
