Backstory:
O ho HO! I was once but a humble farmer in the great plane of the air. My family and I lived in peace and harmony with the tribes in the expanse of sky. But one day… The largest, most terrifying creature I had ever seen attacked with the ferocity of a thousand winter storms! It was made of pure thunder and lightning, the hurricane-force winds nearly lifting my humble abode into space! I couldn’t let anyone be hurt, so that is when I made my decision. I bid a sorrowful farewell to my family and went out to confront this creature of thunder and lightning. We tangled, and our fight split the sky and the clouds! We tumbled down from the plane of air in the greatest fight the sky had ever seen and crashed into the tumultuous ocean swells below. We fought for five days and five nights, and and the beginning of the sixth day, as the beautiful yolk-orange sun was rising against the blackest of night skies, I managed to quell the magnificent beast with a strike of my shortsword. O HO HO! What a fight it was! It was then I knew my purpose! I must hunt down the beasts and tyrants of this world and bring the world to a glorious new peace!
