Reznov Ivanovich
"I'm a man of new idea's"
Height- 6'2
Weight- 154 lb.s
Eye color- Brown
Hair Color- Brown
Hometown- Aekea
Age- 26
"It's a shame how many people hate you for suggesting we share."
Reznov Ivanovich was born in a small, backwoods village on the west side of Barton woods, his parents small time peasants. It was not long however before he was drafted in the Barton army, serving admirably in the Barton army. He rose swiftly in rank, and for a time, life was good.
"You see a peasant whose good with a blade and can direct combat without being a mile away, pampered on a horse. Mock me if you wish, but I don't see any of you doing the same"
It was not soon, however, that his blood curbed the speed of his achievements. His rudimentary upbringing did not please Bartonian lordship, and he was left under the command of far inferior princes. His tactical mind was at waste, and men were dying from lack of it's use. This, coupled with his sharp tongue, did little to keep him on the good side of his employers. Eventually, he deserted, and fled to a place where new ideas like his were welcome and abundant, the leader of the gunpowder and intellectual movements: Aekea.
"Workers of all nations, unite!"
From Aekea, he now operates as a revolutionary, trying to instill his contemporary political concepts into every nook and cranny of Gaia. This was not easy however: Simply walking up to a peasant and telling them they're socially liberated did little. "The world is changing." Reznov finally realized "Social, Scientific, and Economic upheaval span the world. But one will not stare up from thier poverty of thier own conscious effort. They need a hero, a symbol, a vanguard for the greater good... Hurray! I've got a job."
"Sometimes - history needs a push."
Reznov himself is a somewhat embittered intellectual. His body and mind possess major agility, and his joking personality puts a jaunty smile on the face of the revolution. His gunnery skill is impressive, but Reznov can still dust knuckles with any assorted baddy. He will generally push for the greater good, however the revolution always comes first. He fights with intimidating fervor and doesn't like taking prisoners. The loves of his life are the Revolution, the working peoples, a good adventure, and a nice glass of vodka. He most despises the rich aristocracy (especially the bourgeoisie of Barton and the Isle), though he still works for them for "the love of seeing a king, bedecked in jewels and praised by thousands, bowing to a pathetic, rag-tag gunslinger like me for help. The publicity doesnt hurt, either." All in all, he is rather easy-going and is a great person to have for rather than against you.

[-Two Years Ago-]
Name: Ganturo Ginokun
Age: Unknown
Gender: Unknown
Race: Fox Beast
"Mr President, Sir! She Has Been Captured!" The scientist rushed into the office of the head with an expression of joy. For the past year he had been forced to give reports of the failures of their efforts at reclaiming what he believed to be rightfully theirs. After so long he was able to give the news he dreamed off and continue with his work.
The man behind his desk stood and stared out the window. His office was on the tenth story of the labs hidden thirty miles east of Aekea but still labeled under it's borders. The labs actually contained thirty floors itself with twenty hidden beneath the surface. He turned and smiled at the scientist, an event that could scare young children, and walked towards him. "Excellent, Now where might I find her?"
"She's located on the bottom floor sir to avoid any escapes. We have had her for three weeks now sir but we did not inform you until now due to her state. We had to use force and ever since she has not been eating, that is until a week ago when our newest researcher, Alexander Adamant, befriended her and without him knowing we have continued with our experiments."
The President seemed angry when he received the news of being told last but shrugged it off as he made his way to the elevator down, but as the scientist tried to enter the Elevator the boss pushed him out. "I'm sorry, but for not telling me of this discovery sooner you no longer work for me.." And with that the doors closed and the gears began to move into life.
"You mean I'm Fired?! BUT---" His sentence ended before it began as the sounds of a turret tore through the air.
The President ignored it and began to whistle a tune from the radio as he descended to the bottom floor.

[-UnderGround Aekea Labs-]
[-Two Years Ago-]
Name: Ganturo Ginokun/Alex Adamant
Age: Unknown/19
Gender: Unknown/Male
Race: Fox Beast/Human
The elevator ride was quiet as it descended, the rider growing impatient as the numbers flicked in and out of existence saying the current floor. B1. B2. B3. This was the reason he hated leaving his office on the top floor, the ride down to the bottom always took too long even though it was only a two minute ride for forty floors. He paced back and forth, a setting on his private elevator prevented stops on other floors; sometimes it was great to be the President of a research facility.
He reached the bottom of the facility and was greeted immediately by the employees as the doors opened. The floor was a blinding white tiled path as the walls shared the same color and effect making it hard to see with the neon lights being reflected everywhere, it was only on this floor too as it was used for the more dangerous experiments. The President looked at the employees waiting for a response from him; there were three of them each in a white lab coat with different charts in hand, but to him they all looked the same. “Well? Take me to the fox!”
One of the employees jumped, he was new and this was only the second time he had met this man, he paused for a moment before opening his mouth. “I-It’s T-This way Sir…” He pointed down a corridor to the left and at the one dark room at the end.
Without waiting the President walked off without the employees, one moved to try and keep pace with him as the fox was their experiment.
The room was simple, about Ten feet wide, twenty feet long, and ten feet high. A neon light lit up as the President hit a switch outside the room, in between him and the room stood a ten foot long plastic window so a scientist could perform experiments without getting close. Inside the now illuminated room was a small fox, slightly smaller than normal; it was maybe only a foot long and only half a foot tall, it was merely a child but the unusual thing about it was its fur, a dark fur that seemed to glow red but it was probably just an illusion played by the light and shadows in the fur. This was not the only odd thing however as it not only had an odd color but also an extra tail. It appeared to be sleeping inside as it was slowly breathing but not moving off the ground. The food from the night before remained untouched showing the fox did not eat, it was starving itself.
“What’s wrong with it? Why’s it in that form and not in its humanoid state?”
The scientist was too scared to answer his superior but the attention was taken off him as a beep came from the door to the room. A man with a shoulder length hair tied back into a ponytail stood at the door, a blue streak in his hair over the left eye and a bag in his left hand, he stood at the door with a keycard unlocking it. He paid no attention to the President and scientist and entered the room, taking off his lab coat revealing a black long sleeved T-shirt and dark blue cargo pants showing he was very relaxed with his work. This man had not left a good impression on the President with his carefree style but would soon get his attention as the fox began to react to his presence.
It sniffed the air and stood; as it recognized a familiar scent it turned to face the man. It paused as the man sat down on the floor by the door, grabbing the bowl of food, mostly just fish, and picked up a fresh one. The fox leaped at the man and in midair it burst into flames, this surprised the President but everyone else seemed unaffected as from the fire a young girl began to appear. Her body was small and thin, her hair the same color as the fox and dropped down to her chin on the side and the bottom of her neck in the back. She had bright red eyes which closed immediately as she embraced the man in a very tight hug. She held herself close to the man who covered her nude body with his coat.
“Who is that man?” The President demanded.
“A-Alex Adamant, Sir. He’s a scientist that joined just a few weeks ago. He snuck into the room just the other day without authorization and has really left an impact on her.” The scientist spoke quickly and in one breath, he was panicking with the superior right next to him.
The scene inside continued but the President walked off before he could see anymore of the love inside easily compared to someone and their pet. “I want you to have him prep the girl. We need her ready to fight, release Experiment 14 into her room in three days. Study her close and tell me if she shows her anger or any of her power.”

[-UnderGround Aekea Labs-][-Two Years Ago-] Name: Ganturo Ginokun/Alex Adamant
Age: Unknown/19
Gender: Unknown/Male
Race: Fox Beast/Human“Alex?” The fox girl spoke out as she had adjusted to being in humanoid form, she was wondering where he ran off to when he said he’d come back for her. He had been gone for over an hour and over the past few days of his coming and going he should have been back awhile ago. During her moments of boredom she took a good look at the brightly lit room, to her the room looked completely bare, all the walls were solid and similar, the floor was cold and smooth, and the light on the ceiling hurt her eyes. It was weird for her but she started to wear clothes he had brought for her, a pair of red shorts, and a red shirt a few shades brighter and red sandals that wrapped around her ankles staying on.
He had been coming in and out for days playing with Gina and teaching her many things like dancing and ways of charm. He shared secrets with her proving he could trust her and she could count on him when things got tough. It had been three days since Alex started appearing and playing with her for hours that felt like an eternity leaving her happy the entire time. She began eating more often and had more energy, something Alex said she would need and she wouldn’t doubt him. She sat patiently on the floor staring at the door waiting for it to open so she could pounce on Alex.
The scientists stood outside the room looking through the one way glass ready to begin their experiments as soon as the President arrived. They were nervous about the result and how Alex Adamant would react as he had no idea what they were doing. The President took his time as he spoke with Alex on the way to the room and peeked inside at the fox girl waiting inside. He signaled the scientists to begin as the flipped a switch outside. Alex watched in horror as several Spiders he recognized as Experiment 14 descended into the room. The spiders were genetically engineered to reproduce at an accelerated rate and grow to the size of a Musculero truck, an added bonus was the improved sense of survival making them the new predators for any war situation. These were thankfully half their max size but still the concept of sending such powerful monsters on a defenseless girl was horrible. Alex tried to rush into the room but was held back by the President and forced to watch.
Gina sat and waited until a sound caught her attention and turned around to see the face of a demon. She jolted backwards into the wall and panicked. Her eyes shifted around the room hoping to find something to help her knowing she’d have no luck as the room was empty except for a pile of clothes and an empty food dish. She punched out at the monster only to miss and slip onto the floor and as she turned to look up at the monster she saw the ceiling missing and at least a dozen descending into the room. Gina threw herself onto her clothes pile hoping to find some safety and continued looking at the door hoping to see Alex burst in and save her until her sight was blocked by one of the monsters. As she pushed herself closer to the corner she felt something within her clothes that she pulled out quick, a ring Alex gave to her with the image of a sword and staff crossed over each other. Gina put it on and tried to remember what Alex told her about it, how it was supposed to give amazing magical power to the wearer. With tears streaming from her eyes and the monster’s face only inches from hers she planted her hand on its furry chest and recited a phrase Alex had said to her, words that went unheard but served their purpose as her hand lit up in a bright red glow and shot the beast back into another monster. A fire had started upon its fur and spread over its body until it dissolved into ashes, Gina held her hand as the ring she wore was now hot and began to burn her finger. She held out her hand again and silently said the words to herself as a red light burst from her palm at the monsters again, striking a new one knocking it back. Her spells were slow as the monsters approached, for every one being turned to ash another took its place. It was inevitable that one spider pinned her arm to the wall with one of its legs, the power of it stabbing her felt like a spike as it dug into her arm and broke through the bone. She screamed out hoping someone could hear her as she sank further into the corner, her arm feeling as if it were about to be ripped from her body and the blood she saw moving down the spider monster’s leg filled her with terror and something else she could not figure out.
Alex had to be held down by three men after the President gave up. He was being forced to watch the scene in front of him and not to interfere. Without help she would die and these men who find her so valuable would just let it happen, as if this were the final test to know if she was worth the effort. He tried to close his eyes tight and pray that it was all a bad dream until he heard her scream, one scream that filled him with enough anger to throw the men off him and rush for the door. His hand frantically searching for the key card to get in he felt the grip of the men return to him just as he pulled it out. He couldn’t understand it, not one thing was making sense at this moment, not only were they keeping a teenage girl in captivity on the floor for the strongest weapons but they were dropping their second greatest experiment into the room to feed on her. Spiders designed to play with their pray before tearing it limb from limb and devour everything but the bones. He felt the grip of the men weaken as their attention as well as his turned to the window to the room. A flickering glow flashing upon the walls outside while inside the room the spiders were bursting into ash as it filled with fire. It was then that Alex noticed the worst thing possible; the monsters being released weren’t Experiment 14 but 24, the greatest and most uncontrolled monster in the company’s creation. A monster called the Mimick; a beast designed to be the greatest spy as it had no actual form of itself but after observing a subject for a period of time it can take all the qualities and appearance of whatever it watched. The spider mimick grew in size almost instantly until it took up half of the room and Alex knew it would continue to grow into a more powerful state. Alex took his chance to burst into the room and get to Gina.
Holding her arm close and trying to ignore the pain Gina nearly lost consciousness, completely unaware of a circle of flames surrounding her. Her eyes closed tight she couldn’t stand to look anymore at the face of her killers even as the sounds of their screams echoed the room. She never even noticed the door opening and someone running to her, a voice trying to catch her attention she opened her eyes as Alex was next to her trying to help her onto her feet. He was saying something that was drowned out by the screams of the spider and the roar of the fires, she realized what he was saying later as “We need to get out of here!” as he rushed her out of the room pulling her by the uninjured arm. The beast behind them as it broke through the door and attacked the scientists. Alex was shouting something but she couldn’t hear him, the pain in her arm managed to steal her attention and the only thing she could see were corridor after corridor of blinding white light.
They stopped in the middle of a hallway as Alex struck a few buttons on the wall and pulled out a phone making a call. Gina had no idea what was going on or even where they were as this was her first time outside that room and not in the open. She turned to see the beast pinning scientists to walls with its legs as it made its way towards them. It was fast and nearly on them before Alex grabbed Gina and pulled her backwards into a small room. The doors closed and Gina could feel herself lift up figuring this to be an elevator or a lift, whatever Alex called it. Gina fell to the floor holding her arm close as Alex took a look at it, his hand was glowing an icy blue light as he brushed his fingers over the open wound. Gina didn’t know how but Alex had managed to fix up her arm, this must have been his magic Gina figured. The elevator took them to the top floor and judged by the sound echoing up through the floor the beast was following them.
As the doors opened Alex pulled Gina out and through halls much nicer than before, the floor was carpeted and easier to run on and the walls had an easy to see faded green wallpaper. Gina barely had time to look around as Alex kicked open a door and led her up a flight of stairs to another door her kicked open. They managed to get to the roof in time to see a man stepping into a helicopter with two others inside, Alex easily noticed them as his soon to be ex-boss and two private investors that kept the labs funded. They rushed to the helicopter as Alex tossed Gina inside and signaled her to take a seat as he threatened the men already inside. Gina was confused about what was happening and stared in horror as the helicopter began to lift off the ground without Alex. She was held back by the men to keep her from jumping out. They figured with one experiment still available to them they would still be making a profit.
Alex waved goodbye to Gina as the ground behind him broke open. The mimick had grown larger and now as it was crawling through the open floor it was easily thirty feet tall. Its features were changed since it was in the basement, it’s face no longer arachnid but resembling more of a canine and a human, its legs were sharp and shined as if made from metal, and its body looked like that of a wolf with spider legs and no tail. Alex stood in place, reaching behind his coat he pulled out a metal cylinder and a book, after a quick command the cylinder quickly covered in ice and grew until it was at least six feet long and resembled something like a javelin. He hurled the javelin into the monster, piercing straight through where its heart should have been. It continued to advance ignoring the foreign object now attached to it. Alex opened the book and began to chant a series from within, ice gathering within his hand forming another weapon, this time a Bow. He held the bow ready to attack as he passed the book over it, the book burst into a bright light and reformed into an arrow; pulling back he waited for the right time. The beast was only inches from his face before he released his grip, the arrow striking the javelin and causing a reaction. The ice from the javelin expanded covering the monster’s entire body with ice freezing it in place, but the ice did not stop and continued expanding until the entire building was frozen over as well as all of its occupants. Alex was now frozen in place locked in an eternal battle with death directly in front of him. Soon after the helicopter carrying Gina began to descend before exploding in the air as if a bomb were detonated inside. No survivor was found from that day by the government, everyone who worked with the labs was recorded as deceased.
[Current Day]
It has been years since that day and the memories continue to haunt Gina. She never knew how exactly she survived but she knew she was the only one. Sitting in the Barton Pub she has shared her story with no one, always saying that she had no story. A girl who has appeared to be Sixteen for as long as she could remember of Five to Six years, able to transform into a fox and back with a few other forms to choose from, and an unexplainable power hidden within her. Not only has she had a story from her life, but she has had one since her birth over one thousand years ago; she is just a part of the mysterious story of Ganturo Ginokun, The Fox Spirit.

Nut Guevara
"Hey there little buddy!" -Reznov Ivanovich
Height- 0'6 (Not including tail)
Weight- 5 Pounds
Eye color- Brown
Hair Color- Brown
Hometown- Barton Woods
Age- about 5
"Great, now there's squirrels after us." -Assorted capitalists
Nut Guevara was a simple squirrel with a sharp mind and a will for justice. His rather small stature and relative lack of agility made him rather low on the squirrel totem pole.
"Squeak!"
Reznov found him on a simple stop in the woods. Nut, liking the message he preached, began to study Hegel, Marx, Engels, Tolstoy, and Trotsky. In just a few weeks, a good several acres of woods were turned into an organized socialist state of proletarian animals, undoing every natrual law Darwin could have ever thought up.
"How can something less then a foot tall have IDEOLOGY?!" -Astounded onlookers
Nut now works with Reznov hand in hand, him communizing people, and Nut communizing animals. He often feels indebted to Reznov, and can be seen at his side nine times out of 10. This is also why he allows himself to be used as a cute billboard for bringing in potential communists during Reznov's many propaganda spreading days.
"Aww, he can't hurt us. Look how cute he is." -The late I. M. Nuub
Nut is serious as he is adorable, a squirrel on a mission so to say. Unlike Reznov, he isn't a booze hound either. He invokes powerful nature magics, or commands swarms of communized animals to rush in and attack. He protects Reznov and his friends with his life. Undoubtedly the best person to protect your nuts.

Chapter 4: The Nightwalkers
Current age: 18
Shortly after returning to the human world, Zero gained Durem nationality. He tried to live a normal live, but the demon blood inside made him very violent towards gaians. Suddenly one night while Zero was walking, he found a carriage being attacked by some people. Without thinking, Zero defeated the attackers and saved the people inside the carriage. When the coast was safe, the carriage opened and a little girl with pale skin, ruby-red eyes and shiny violet hair wearing a red dress, and a tall old butler with gray skin and white hair came out. Zero just stood looking at the two of them, knowing that they weren't humans at all.
The girl approached Zero and smiled at him "Thank you for saving me.", she said. "Little Miss, you shouldn't talk to such a low hybrid like him! It's not something a noble as yourself should do.", replied the butler pointing a Zero. "Who are you calling a low hybrid?!" Zero attacked the butler and hit him in the face. "WHY YOU....?!". Suddenly Zero and the butler started to have a fight like two small kids. The girl just laughed seeing both of them fight.
After calming down the little girl presented herself as Lilith Nightwalker of the Tepes family. As a thanks for saving her, Zero was invited to stay at the castle of the family. There, he met with the parents. Draculea the IV and Mihnea. They explained that their family are descendants of vampires, but unlike their kin they are immune to sunlight. They just get weaker. Zero spent a few months with the family working as a guardian protecting the family from attackers. He mainly got friendly with Lilith, who was like a sister to Zero. One day, Zero was talking to Mihnea.
"You seem pretty disturbed today Zero, is there a problem?" she asked him while having some tea in the balcony. "Not really my Lady, is just that I will have to leave. I can't spend the rest of my days here. It's just that, I still want to travel. But..." Zero passed his hand over the scar on his left eye. "You are worried about your demon side right?" Mihnea said "It is quite strange for you to be more demon that human. It seems that the demon eye you absorbed caused your soul that was split half human half demon to become more demon. There could be a way to seal the demon inside you with a ritual, to balance your soul. But you will lose a lot of your strength, and who knows what might happen. Will you risk doing it?" Zero looked at lady Mihnea and nod. "Very well then, I will prepare for the ritual. We will wait for the full moon this week to do the ritual." Zero bowed to lady Mihnea "Thanks you for your kindness, my Lady..."

Chapter 5: The Blood Moon and the Two Souls
Current age: 18
A few days before the ritual, Zero was taking a walk with Lilith through the garden. She was a bit sad that Zero will leave soon. "Do you really have to leave? I want you to stay here." she said while looking at the roses. "Most of my life I have been looking for a place to live. But know, I see that I can't stay in one place. I want to continue traveling around the world, searching for my destiny...". Lilith looked a bit sad but she smiled at him. "Alright but please promise me that after you found it... you will come back." Zero smiled back "I promise Little Miss."
The night of the ritual, a special room was prepared with chains and magic runes. "Are you ready, Zero?" said Mihnea as the butler chains Zero. He nods as the butler finishes to put the chains. "This might hurt a lot. If everything works well, you will fill like a normal person. Good luck...". The roof of the room opens and the light of the full moon shines over Zero. Then Mihnea starts to chant some magic words as the runes glow and the chains start to shake. As Mihnea starts to chant faster and faster, the chains glow and runes start to appear on Zero's skin. Zero screams in pain as he tries to break free from the chains. Suddenly, an arrow comes flying from the window and hits Mihnea in the chest. "MY LADY!!!" screamed the butler as he ran to her side. The runes disappeared all over the room and Zero just collapsed on the ground. Outside the castle, a group of hunters with torches came storming into the castle.
After Zero regained conscious, he felt a pain on where his left eye was. He looked himself on the mirror and saw that the left eye he had lost a long time ago had reappeared but with a yellow-flame like color. "What happened to me?". Suddenly Zero heard Lilith scream coming from below. He rushed down searching for Lilith and the rest of the family. On his way he found staff members killed by the hunters. As he reached the main hall, he found that the hunters had captured Draculea and Mihnea. "Let them go!" Zero rushed towards the hunters, but one of them slashed him in the face and got captured. He had became very weak. "Search for their daughter, we must capture all of the vampires." said one of the hunters. "NO! LEAVE HER AND THE FAMILY ALONE!" Zero tried to break free. "Forget about him, let's just slay these vampires." The hunters drew out swords and stabbed them on Draculea and Mihnea. Zero looked them got killed by the hunters, suddenly he heard a voice in his head. "Why don't you kill them? After all, you are a demon." In that moment, Zero transformed into a demon and started to attack the hunters. After killing the hunters on the main hall, he went looking for Lilith. He soon found her hiding on her room while crying. "...Zero... where are my parents.... where are they?" Zero hugs her "I am sorry, I am sorry..." Zero repeated the words as he carries her with one arm and makes a sword with the other. "Keep your eyes closed." he said as he heads to the outside of the castle while killing all the hunters he encountered. They soon founded the butler almost killed and helped him get out. "It's ok now... we are safe", Zero said as he carries Lilith deep into the forest with the butler. The moon was glowing red like blood that night.

Final Chapter: Destiny
Current age: 18
After the attack at the Tepes' Castle, Zero, Lilith and the butler stayed at a small mansion of the family near a lake. For many days, Lilith stayed in her room spending most of her time looking through the window. Zero had spent one day in bed to recover from the slash he got on his face. Now that scar in his face was in the form of an X along with the other scar on his left eye. Not only that but because the ritual he was got interrupted, his soul got split into one of a human and one of a demon. During all that time, Zero was hearing the voice of his demon soul talking to him. It was always telling him to go and kill the rest of the hunters, but he refused to listen the voice.
A few weeks passed and Zero decided to visit the Castle, only to find that all the valuable objects of the castle stolen. Safe for a box hidden under Lilith's bed. Zero took the box and returned to mansion. One arrived, he went to Lilith and gave her the box. When she saw the box she started to cry. She grabbed the box and held it tightly while she whispered to Zero "...Thank you...". After that Zero left her alone in her room. "It's not so bad to give someone's treasure back, when they can't get it themselves."
Three days later, the butler had gotten help from other families and a carriage was sent to pick her up. Zero stood next to the carriage wearing a special eye patch the other families got to him for saving Lilith. The eye patch had a seal that would keep the demon soul in a sleep mode. Also, because of the seal, the demon side will grow stronger every time it awakens. Lilith came out of the mansion accompanied by the butler. She walked towards Zero. "Thank you all for what you have done Zero. Not only you saved me, but you recovered this box that contained jewels of my parents. As a reward have this." She opened the box and took out a red pendant and gave it to Zero. She then got inside the carriage and looked at Zero. "Don't worry about me Miss Lilith. I have now founded a destiny for the moment. I will get back the treasures that belong to the people. And until I don't find all those treasures, I won't die." Lilith smiled at Zero "Until we meet again...". The carriage then departed, disappearing into the woods....
[Some years later...]
A guild of thieves are enjoying beer on a bar in a small town while holding some girls hostages. "Man I can't believe stealing from these people was easy!" "Yeah all thank to the Captain, no one can beat him!" said some thieves. "No one is stupid enough to fight us!" said the captain. "Yeah, I am sure that there is someone stupid enough to fight all of you." said a hooded man inside the bar. The thieves quickly turned to him "Who are you? Show yourself!". The man grabbed a bottle of beer and finishes it in one gulp. "Thieves guild: Broken Jaw. Captain named Tobias Bone. You stole a valuable knife worth 10k gold from a boy at Durem. That knife belonged to his father who passed away, to him it has no price. To retrieve it, I am charging 100 gold and as a bonus I will beat you all." The thieves just laugh at the man. But then in a flash, the man drew out two swords and slashed at the thieves beating them. The captain was left alone in a few seconds "Who... who... are... you?", the man then takes out his hood revealing a man with a light tan skin, point ears, an eye patch on his left eye, a crimson-blood right eye and scars on his face in the form of an X and one over his left eye. "Zero the hunter. Will recover treasures and hunt people or objects for a price. Nice to meet you~"

CHAPTER ONE
-- THE BEGINNING --
Epsilon woke up in his bed and was sweating badly. "It was just a dream..." he said lowly to himself. "...that's all it was."
It was a sunny day that day. He sniffed the air. His mom was making pancakes. Epsilon, at this time, was fifteen years old. He lived at 59 Barton 099034. His father worked at a bank in Barton Town and his mother didn't work. He rushed downstairs and found his mom with the just finished, fresh pancakes.
"Oh, you're awake," his mom said, seemingly glad to know that she didn't have to go and wake him.
"Yeah. Dad went to work?"
"Yes. Unfortunately he said he had to work late tonight. He should be back at around midnight."
"Oh...that sucks..." Epsilon replied to that. His dad was supposed to take him to Gold Beach that day. He had never been to the beach before. He hung his head.
His mother put the plate of pancakes down and lifted his chin. "He said he promises to take you to the beach tomorrow. He is off of work," she said.
"He always promises..."
His mom didn't reply. She just looked away, got out a fork and knife, and placed them next to the plate of pancakes and motioned for Epsilon to eat. He did so gladly.
"You know, Laura stopped by about thirty minutes ago," she told him.
"Yeah? What did she want?" he asked curiously.
"She seemed eager to see you. But you were asleep. I told her I'd tell you to meet her by the water fountain in town today."
"Really, now?"
His mother nodded.
"Well...then I suppose I have something to do today..."
"She seemed very anxious. I think she might like you," his mom said and turned around smiling.
"Me? Nah...she wouldn't go for someone like me..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Epsilon finished with his breakfast, grabbed his coat, and headed out to Barton Town. Shortly after arriving from the South Gate, he headed to the square and saw Laura Eisen sitting by the fountain. "Looks like mom wasn't lying..." he thought and walked over to her.
Laura looked in his direction and saw him coming. "Epsilon!" she exclaimed, jumped up, and ran over to him to hug him.
"Whoa! Laura, what's this about!?" Epsilon asked very surprised.
Laura looked up at him. "My dad...he's making me move to Durem with him.." she said with tears forming in her eyes. Laura and Epsilon had been friends for a long time. Ever since he could remember. She lived just a few houses away from him and he used to go there every day. About a month ago, her mother died from a disease that the doctors couldn't figure out what it was. And now her dad is making her move with him. Epsilon was shocked and grief-stricken himself. What would it be like after she leaves?
Laura buried her head in Epsilon's chest. "I don't want to leave!" she said and started crying. Epsilon, not knowing what else to do, put his arms around her. She got herself together and wiped away her tears. "Come on.." she said and took Epsilon's hand and brought him to the fountain. They sat together. Laura looked at Epsilon, who looked back at her. Laura turned red and looked away.
"What is it?" Epsilon asked.
"I...wanted to tell you something...before I left..." she said.
"Yeah?"
"I....I really like you, Epsilon..." she said, still looking away.
This wasn't as shocking as he thought it would. The whole time they were together that day she was acting weird. "I..like you too, Laura," he managed to say. She looked at him slowly and then suddenly, they kissed. It had to be the worst moment of Epsilon's life so far. His first girlfriend...and she is leaving for Durem that evening.
They spent every possible moment they could that day. At around 8:00pm GST, they parted and headed home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The time was 1:00am GST. Epsilon was asleep in his room when he was woken up by the sound of a scream. The scream came from his mother. "Mom!" he yelled and ran downstairs. He got downstairs and saw his father on the floor in a pool of his own blood. A man in a black cloak stood over him and turned his head to Epsilon. "Dad!!" he exclaimed and picked up a knife that was laying on the table. He rushed at the man and stabbed at him, only to be parried and kicked back against the wall. He blacked out.
The next morning, the Barton Regulars were at his house. His mother and father were officially pronounced dead, and Epsilon was sent to a foster home to live out the remainder of his childhood.
