I live in Tingen city, it can be a quant city if you avoid the poorer areas which I tend to end up at. Oh I'd love to pick somewhere else to live at like maybe the capital of Backlund, however moving ain't cheap and if I want to hitch a ride on that train I'd have to sell my house. My own house isn't much, but I'm lucky enough to have cash to pay for gas heating. It is a one bedroom house with a small kitchen and thankfully a toilet of my own. I would try to get a better house but most of my money is spent on bills and liquor.
I am a monster hunter, I know funny coming from a guy who by every metric is a coward. But the job is pretty lucrative when I do manage to find a monster that hasn't been caught by the church, however most of that money is spent on all the bills I have to pay for as a homeowner along with the damned consequences of that beyonder weapon I own. Its such a shitty downside, if I end up using it I start getting insanely thirsty and the only thing that will sate that wretched thirst is alcohol, the stronger the better. Whenever I'm lucky to scrounge up enough cash after making sure I have enough ammunition and supplies I like to treat myself to a meal that isn't jerky and hard bread.
The creatures in the dark are horrifying monsters beyond belief, they love to hide in human skin and hunt us for sport. I want to beat them at their own game and hunt down every last one of them so nobody else has to lose a loved one to those damned monsters. If necessary I'll travel around the world to make sure every last one is eradicated from the face of the earth. I don't think I could kill someone to do this, at least a human, the ones I will kill are the monsters. If possible I would rather avoid death at every cost, like I said before, I am a total coward. However if it means I can kill even one more of those monsters I'll have to throw my life away for this cause.
I lived in blissful ignorance, thinking all was well and that life would be peaceful. However one day I discovered the foul truth, septic and festering underneath the fragile illusion I lived in. I confronted my family about this, from the tragedies of the lower classes and the monsters hidden in the dark which I had thought were fairy tales. But to my shock, they laughed and didn't care, it seems that their plans had no concerns about the citizens of Loen. I couldn't accept such an attitude with the lives of the common folk so I decided to run away. I snuck into the treasury and stole Mimic's Bane along with a sizeable sum on money before I changed my identity and moved to Tingen and started working as a monster hunter despite how terrifying those beasts are.
I remember going on picnics with my mother when I was a young boy. She used to spoil me and my siblings lots and took care of us when our father George (the name has been completely torn out) would yell at us and discipline us to become proper (Redacted). Her name was Alexandra (tears blot out the last name), as a kid I remember hearing all about her beauty from strangers, but I remember her as the warm mother who cared for us with dark hair and blue eyes. Then there are my older siblings, the first of which was the younger of my older brothers Edessak. He was a normal person like our mother, with the same dark hair and blue eyes, he always had a smile on his face and always seemed cheerful, unconcerned about the family politics. I remember my grandfather as well, he used to be the head of the house before my father took over, but just like my mother Alexandra he loved to spoil me. I remember him telling me that he was apparently quite famous back in his day, always telling me war stories and how he helped push our kingdom into the spotlight, sadly he passed away but thinking of him always brings warm memories.
