I was born in a kingdom known as Zan'kree to Karnas and Rayna. I have a twin sister, Kelinda and a twin brother, Zirak. Zirak was abandoned by our parents at his birth and only recently have we found him. My other siblings include S'bane, Miradorn, Mek'ba, and Ard'rian. All members of my family are decendants of an anchient race called Kimerra. We are born with abilities inhereted from our ancestors who were beings of energy. Our family is heavily engulfed in evil. While with my family I did horrible things. I was completely evil, and ruthless. I was known as Azrael in those days. After a couple hundred years of evil, something happened to my sister and I, changed us. We still don't know what. We tried to escape but my sister was unsucessful, and she was trapped there until her escape. I also changed my name to Cronus, to try and forget the past. Recently though, I changed my name back to Azrael.
I wondered the world, learning, exploring, and gathering information. I fought in wars, served Kings and Queens, made friends and enemies.
In my travels I've encounted many wonders and many troubles. During my travels I've collected items of interest and power. I've received three souls in total that have merged with my own. They are Blackwulf, MoonDragon, and FireWing.
I encountered evil again five hundred years ago. That was when I decided to form a corps of men and women loyal to me and loyal to the light. I trained them to watch and listen to everything around them and be ready to fight evil when they encounter it. I call them Rangers. But after five hundred years of service I decided to disband them.
A lot has happened to me in the past year or more of my life. I have had children for the first time, a wife who was killed by S`bane, and much more. My life went straight to hell at one point and I still have not fully recovered. But I'm confident things will get better, especially since my life was enriched and my sanity saved by Zara`Lee who I am now married to and love dearly. The evil that was once only surpressed in me has finally been completely purged from my soul, and in the spirit of making a new life and eliminating the Zan`kree, I have taken a new family name...... DarkWater.
"Per tutti gli anni che ho vissuto, io ancora non conoscere chi io realmente."
Blackwulf was the protector of a village about 900 years ago. He was killed in a battle but his soul was saved by the village elders in an amulet. They kept it safe until the time came when one was worthy of it.
One day, a little less than a hundred years after Blackwulf died, Azrael came across the village while it was being attacked by raiders. The villagers managed to withstand the first wave but had no hope of defeating the second. In despiration they asked Azrael to help them. He agreed, and when the second wave came he completely desimated the raiders and sent them packing. After that he placed a protection feild over the village.
In appreciation for his help the village elders offered him the soul of their previous protector as a gift. At first Azrael declined, but at the insistance of the elders he accepted. Using his powers and at the instruction of the elders, Azrael merged his own soul with that of Blackwulf. He gained all of the wulf's memories and experiences. In time he was able to transform into a physical representation of Blackwulf.
Blackwulf is an oversized timber wulf. He is mostly black with some gray highlights. His silver eyes have a slight glow to them. He has muscular legs and razor sharp fangs
Three hundred years ago I was travelling through a remote area and I came across a large dragon. He was lying just off the path and was badly hurt. Even though he was mortally wounded, I tried to help, but to no avail. Shortly before he died he gave me an amulet. It had the power to transfer and merge souls. He instructed me on how to use it and told me to take his soul at the moment of death and merge it with my own. I did as he asked and then took care of the body according to dragon tradition. A side effect of the merging was that I retained his knowledge and experience.
I lost this soul when I fought Miradorn. He destroyed MoonDragon and almost killed me in the process. Enigmus saved my life by giving me the soul of FireWing.
I received this soul from my long time friend Enigmus. He was near by when I was fighting my brother and got me out of there. He brought me back to his Hall and saved my live by giving me the soul of FireWing. He used so much of his energy that he did die for a moment until I revived him. FireWing was not a complete merge and therefore his mind never mixed with mine. After some time the gryphon mind began to reasert itself and I needed to return to Wing's homeland to go through a type of right of passage ceremony as the gryphon. This took approximately three days and was done only in the gryphin form. After it was complete the elders of FireWing's land helped me to complete the merge and finally become one with him.
As a part of the right of passage, the adolesent gryphon gets changed. He transforms into an entirely new form once he completes the tests. FireWing's new form his that of a massave black gryphon. He stands 10' at his shoulders and his wings span 30'.
FireWing was originally from a far off land called Gryphon Shore. This is a land populated by mostly gryphons, but they also live along side other races, humans being the most common.
