    "bio": "<p>Crizion is an optimistic member of the <strong>Reptilian</strong> race. He always looks on the bright side of things and never hesitates to help friends or family that mean everything to him.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Crizion was born just days after the <strong>Dark Skies War</strong> was declared. When their village was brutally attacked, Crizion's father, who was an excellent warrior, defended the village with great valor, slaying many Shadefolk who stood in his path with his mastery of the bow and arrow.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But moments later, as his guard fell, an arrow was fired by a mysterious Shadefolk, which struck him down and ended his life.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As the Shadefolk soldiers advanced, Crizion's home was burnt to the ground, trapping him and his mother inside. She died beneath the collapsing rubble, but Crizion survived, and was quickly rescued by an anonymous Reptilian warrior who carried him to the bunker and protected him until the war ended.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After the war, his grandmother, <strong>Pho</strong>, took him in. Due to various reasons, life was poor, and when Pho retired and could no longer work, Crizion supported himself and Pho by working at a friend's blacksmith.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He grew to enjoy the various activities the blacksmith had to offer, especially sharpening weapons, though he never fully understood why.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By day, Crizion worked for coins. By night, he trained to become a warrior. Since his thirteenth birthday, he practiced relentlessly with a spear he was given, always keeping it sharp and ready for any occasion. He would also attach a stone to the end of the spear, which was a treasure his parents used to cherish.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At sixteen, on a cloudy day while heading to work, Crizion accidentally stepped in front of a royal Reptilian carriage and was knocked to the ground.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The prince of the Reptilian Kingdom stormed out in fury. Frightened and unsure how to respond, Crizion remained silent during the prince's rant.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fully enraged with a red face, the prince drew a whip and yelled, \"This is what happens to Reptilians who don't fall in line!\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As the whip lashed forward, something inside Crizion snapped. Fueled by fear, instinct, and a fleeting sense of his father's presence, he caught the whip and hurled the prince to the ground.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The prince then fled in tears, muttering threats of revenge on Crizion's family. But nothing ever came of the incident, and Crizion returned to his work and life with his grandmother.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yet the moment lingered with him. Remembering the war, his father, and the change he had felt, Crizion developed an undying will for adventure.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>His dream is to explore the world, meet new friends, and to resolve the terror the Dark Skies War invoked.</p>\r\n",

Once fixated on something, he ignores everything else. Despite his lack of awareness, he is deeply loyal to his friends.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fern was born roughly six years before the <strong>Dark Skies War</strong>. As a child, he acted without thought or restraint, doing whatever pleased him. His erratic behavior earned him the nickname Crazytree, which eventually replaced his real name entirely.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>His father, <strong>Wurunk</strong>, was the king of the Zuku and ruler of a peaceful kingdom. Over time, Fern's behavior worsened, and Wurunk's patience ran dry. Lectures failed, and Fern often argued back with childish defiance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a moment of uncontrolled anger, Wurunk struck Fern on the head with his staff. Fern immediately fell into an empty, unresponsive state. One of his green pupils began bleeding and turned red. Horrified, Wurunk dropped the staff and held his son, unable to comprehend what he had done.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Word spread that Fern was paralyzed and mentally broken. Wurunk was consumed by regret, and doubts arose about his place as king. Fern would remain dormant for years, unmoving and silent.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>During this time, Fern was content. In his stillness, he spoke with his deceased mother, who had died shortly after his birth. Whether real or imagined, those moments were the only happiness he knew, and he cherished them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When the Dark Skies War reached the Zuku Kingdom, the land was set ablaze from a pink lightning strike. Fern remained unaware as chaos consumed the kingdom. Wurunk carried him to a hidden safety chamber while <strong>Arrowite</strong> defended them along the way.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The chamber could protect only one person and was meant for the holder of the life orb. Wurunk sealed Fern inside instead, placing the powerful life orb from his staff with him. With Fern briefly conscious, Wurunk spoke his final words: \"I am sorry, son. Please be greater than I ever was.\" Moments later, Wurunk was consumed by the flames outside.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fern entered a long slumber after, which halted his aging slightly and left him mute. He remained sealed away until he was eventually released by no other than <strong>Crizion</strong>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Awakened at last, Fern could think independently again, though his simple nature remained. He pledged unwavering loyalty to Crizion and chose to follow him without a second thought.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fern's dream is to restore peace to the world alongside his newfound best friend, Crizion.</p>\r\n\r\n",

Gifted with extreme speed and sharp reflexes, he thrives on spectacle and mockery, often stealing the spotlight as easily as he steals items.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reiss was born into Shadefolk royalty as the youngest of three brothers. His father, <strong>Yaozen</strong>, sought an heir capable of carrying the vessel of a dragon spirit. When the eldest son, <strong>Wuji</strong>, inherited the spirit, Reiss and his middle brother, <strong>Garvoch</strong>, were cast aside and largely ignored.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The <strong>Dark Skies War</strong> occurred shortly after Reiss's birth, though he remained safe behind the castle's strongest defenses. At fifteen, Reiss would become a royal guard, a position he quickly found dull and meaningless.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>While pursuing a fruit thief into a valley, Reiss saw something that would change his worldview forever. It was hundreds of starving Shadefolk dressed in rags. Their fear and desperation revealed the cost of his father's rule.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That same day, Reiss confronted Yaozen. The argument escalated until Yaozen struck at him with a claymore and banished him from the castle walls.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reiss, careless of this banishment, returned to the valley and offered his help to the unfortunate living there. Their chief accepted him, and over the next four years Reiss became a highly skilled thief, stealing necessities with almost perfect precision to support them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Eventually, a bounty was placed on his head. Even so, Reiss continued stealing despite the risk of capture or execution. In recognition of his dedication, the chief gifted him a blue-and-black outfit and two katanas, which Reiss treasured deeply.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On a different day in the near future, Reiss aided a trapped arms builder named <strong>Benton</strong> by protecting his mother from capturers. Benton then rewarded him with two custom-made pistols, and Reiss promised to free him one day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>From then on, Reiss adopted the name Bulletblade and swore to fight for the unfortunate and to disrupt his father's monarchy for as long as he lived.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>His dream is to undo the damage caused by his father's rule, save the lower class Shadefolk from early death, and most importantly, pick up a hot chick along the way.</p>\r\n",

    "bio": "<p>Dave is a jolly, fat <strong>Reptilian</strong> known for spending his days fishing and his nights drinking. Beneath his carefree nature lies an unshakable loyalty to his family, one he will uphold at any cost, even through questionable means.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dave was born into a family-owned fish shop alongside his brother, who would later become <strong>Crizion</strong>'s father. From a young age, the two spent nearly every day fishing along the shore. They argued, laughed, and fought often, but life by the sea was never dull.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As they grew older, their paths diverged. Dave remained content with fishing, while his brother pursued a career as a warrior in the Reptilian army. In time, his brother became one of the kingdom's greatest fighters, while Dave stayed behind to run the family business.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Years passed, and Dave eventually lost both his parents. The fish shop did ok under his care, but success in repetition brought boredom rather than fulfillment. Dave sold the business to a Reptilian named <strong>Fishstick</strong> and walked away without regret.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He spent his days drinking at local bars, enjoying life without responsibility, until the <strong>Dark Skies War</strong> changed everything. Though Dave was assigned to defend the underground chambers and never saw battle, his brother on the other hand, was killed instantly by an arrow to the head.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The loss was devastating. Dave had never known grief like it. He carried on as best he could, until he overheard several high-ranking Reptilians openly insulting his brother's legacy. The next morning, those individuals were never seen again...</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dave eventually returned to fishing, drawn back by memories of the time he spent with his brother. His new dream is to protect his nephew, <strong>Crizion</strong>, and ensure that no one else in his family ever comes to harm.</p>\r\n",

He approaches every task with absolute seriousness and will not accept failure unless it costs him his life.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Caleb was born outside the Zuku Forest in a small village of pine tree Zuku near the Frost lands. Four years after his birth, the village was devastated by a massive snow beast that slaughtered much of the population. Caleb was among the few survivors.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Roughly a week after the attack, <strong>Igor</strong> arrived and offered combat training to the survivors. Many accepted, while those committed to pacifism chose to leave. Caleb trained relentlessly under Igor alongside the remaining pine tree Zuku.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over twelve years of brutal survival training, Caleb chose to specialize in archery, mastering bow combat through discipline and endurance. To honor his chosen path, he adopted the name <strong>Arrowite</strong>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Arrowite quickly proved himself to be the most skilled and adaptable of the trainees, never questioning Igor's commands. Recognizing his resolve, Igor took Arrowite on as his disciple, an offer Arrowite accepted without hesitation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As they traveled together back toward the Zuku Forest, Arrowite and Igor formed a deep bond. Arrowite took pride in learning from a wise master, while Igor found confidence in his devoted student.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the next two years, they attempted to establish a combat training program in the main Zuku village. Only a small number accepted the harsh reality of violence as a means of self-defense.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When the <strong>Dark Skies War</strong> began, Igor ordered Arrowite to protect the Zuku king. For the first and only time, Arrowite hesitated, fearing for his master's safety. After a final command from Igor, Arrowite obeyed. It was the last time he ever saw his master.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After the war, Arrowite remained hidden, guarding what remained of the Zuku Forest and its people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>His dream is to atone for failing to protect the king and to one day reunite with his master.</p>\r\n",

Her thoughts never stop racing, and her genetic condition amplifies every emotion until control becomes nearly impossible.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She was born into a normal Zuku household alongside her younger sister, Jyaine. As the older sibling, Larah shared a close and affectionate bond with her sister, and their family life was peaceful and happy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That peace ended when Larah turned eleven. She suddenly developed a severe and unknown disease that caused rapid loss of sap and hair, leaving her near death. Doctors attempted every known treatment, but nothing slowed the deterioration.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With hours left to spare, a scientist named <strong>Tranel</strong> proposed an experimental growth serum designed to replace lost sap and hair. Though the side effects were uncertain, Larah's parents approved the procedure as a last resort.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At first, the serum appeared to work. Within days, Larah stabilized and began to recover. Weeks later, however, the side effects emerged. Her body grew uncontrollably, grass-like hair sprouted and shed rapidly, and she began hearing voices.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The voices soon became vivid screams, echoing with the pain of loved ones. One night, Larah lost all control. Transformed into a massive, mutated form, she rampaged through her surroundings, unable to understand or restrain her emotions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once exhausted, Larah was captured and imprisoned deep underground in a reinforced cell of stone and hardened wood. Her family was never allowed to see her again, and her location was kept secret.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Larah remained imprisoned through the <strong>Dark Skies War</strong> at age thirteen, unaware it had even occurred.

    "bio": "<p>Tonder is a plump, lovably round <strong>Zuku</strong> who spends their days doing absolutely nothing in the Birch Mystery. They adore giving big hugs and playing games, even though those hugs often turn into something much more final. Tonder never understands this as harm. To them, it is just fun.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tonder was born into a rare and deeply unsettling tribe known as the <strong>Birch Zuku</strong>. Unlike other Zuku, who differ only by bark tone or texture, Birch Zuku are fundamentally broken. Every single one of them. They cannot tell right from wrong and live within a deranged society of constantly shifting rules, emotions, and impulses.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Despite their soft, round, and harmless appearance, Birch Zuku possess immense physical strength that they do not comprehend. A playful shove can shatter bark and bones. A hug can become a death press. None of this registers as violence to them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Birch Zuku also possess an inexplicable ability: whenever a fully grown, non-sentient birch tree exists nearby, they can teleport directly to it. There is no known cause, logic, or limitation. It simply happens.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tonder was raised like any other Birch Zuku, learning by imitation. They watched how others played and copied them. Somehow, Tonder survived. Every day felt bright, exciting, and happy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tonder loved doing nice things. Giving hugs. Sharing gifts. Playing games. Sometimes those gifts were sleeping monsters dragged into the group and woken up for fun. Sometimes the games involved sharp pieces of metal and laughter that sounded very loud. When others screamed or cried, Tonder believed they were laughing. That meant everyone was having fun.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over time, there were fewer friends to play with.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One day, Tonder noticed they were alone. The forest was quiet. Their friends were all around them, very still, lying in pieces among the trees. Tonder did not understand where they had gone.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So Tonder decided to find new friends.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Using their teleportation ability, Tonder appeared beside a birch tree in the Zuku Forest and wandered into a village. There, they saw Zuku children planting flowers. Tonder tapped one on the shoulder to say hello.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The child was frightened at first, but Tonder looked soft and harmless. Soon, the other children gathered, curious and excited. They played together. Tonder was happier than they had ever been.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then the adults arrived.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One by one, parents pulled their children away, unsettled by Tonder's appearance. Eventually, only one child remained. Tonder kept playing, unaware anything was wrong.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Wanting to make the game even better, Tonder picked the child up and threw them into the air. They did not realize how strong they were.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The child went very, very high.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tonder danced happily while waiting.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The child came down with a deafening thud.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The village screamed. Tonder stopped dancing. They didn't understand why everyone was upset. They were only playing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Crying, Tonder ran to the nearest birch tree. When the Zuku reached it, Tonder was already gone.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After that day, the Zuku chopped down every birch tree in the village.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tonder returned to the Birch Mystery and sat down to think. They sat so perfectly still that nothing noticed them. Because of that, the <strong>Dark Skies War</strong> passed without Tonder ever knowing it happened.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even now, Tonder still sits, waiting quietly.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tonder's dream is to play again someday, and to finally find a friend who doesn't disappear.</p>\r\n",

    "bio": "<p>Yavel is an enlightened <strong>Shadefolk</strong> psychic gifted with immense telekinetic power and a limited ability to glimpse the future. Her abilities come at a heavy cost, one she has never been able to escape.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She was born and raised within a school dedicated to teaching young women their expected roles in Shadefolk society. Yavel spent her entire childhood behind its walls, learning etiquette and obedience, trained to become a wife to a future defender of the kingdom.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The teachings suffocated her. Every attempt Yavel made to pursue her own ambitions was dismissed by the women in charge. By the time she turned eighteen, the age of marriage, Yavel knew she could not remain.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She fled the school and never returned. When the <strong>Dark Skies War</strong> arrived, Yavel was allowed refuge in a safety chamber. Afterward, she wandered the wealthier districts of the kingdom, homeless and desperate, searching for meaning or escape.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the fifth day, she noticed a narrow, colorful building wedged between towering structures, one she was certain had not existed before. Inside, she found a stage and a strange Shadefolk who dressed and acted like a magician.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The magician reacted with alarm upon seeing her, then seemed to understand something unseen. He offered Yavel a chance to change her life, on the condition that she forget this place entirely. Before he could finish speaking, Yavel accepted out of pure desperation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With a snap, she was cast back outside. The building vanished. Moments later, Yavel fell into a trance. In exchange for her memory, she awakened with overwhelming psychic power-and the complete loss of emotional sensation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She was soon transported to the royal palace and recognized as a powerful psychic, rising quickly into service under the king. Though she gained status, security, and influence, she felt nothing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, Yavel serves flawlessly, haunted by the emptiness within her and questioning whether the wish was ever worth its price.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Her dream is to break free from royal command, pursue her own studies, and uncover the true identity of the Shadefolk magician who changed her fate.</p>\r\n",

After time in caretaker housing, Benton was taken in by a single mother named <strong>Ramera</strong>, whom he grew to love deeply.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ramera raised Benton with strict discipline despite living in poverty, ensuring he was fed, educated, and pushed to become capable. Through her efforts, Benton was able to attend school, where he discovered a strong interest in weaponry and mechanical design.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a child, Benton constantly built inventions, many of which landed him in detention. As he grew older, his talent sharpened alongside the emergence of a new class of weapons: firearms. Inspired by their invention, Benton became determined to improve them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By fourteen, Benton had already earned widespread attention for the precision and reliability of his designs. His work drew the interest of the king, who offered Benton a position as a royal craftsman.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Benton initially agreed, until he read the terms of service. When he attempted to refuse, the offer turned into a threat. Ramera was taken hostage, and Benton was forced into compliance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the next two years, Benton lived under constant fear, confined within royal walls and unable to act against his captors without risking his mother's life. During this time, he created numerous illegal and experimental weapons without the kings approval, including custom dual pistols for <strong>Bulletblade</strong> in exchange for aid, and an enhanced version of the machine gun for <strong>Carpacho</strong> under pressure.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, Benton continues advancing firearm technology while quietly listening to <strong>Necros</strong>'s ideas and unsuccessfully flirting with <strong>Estrailia</strong>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>His dream is to escape Yaozen's control, see his mother safe once more, and, if possible, finally get Estrailia's attention.</p>\r\n",

That brilliance was lost after a catastrophic experiment, leaving behind a man who now appears unhinged, yet strangely content.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He was born into a middle-class family and diagnosed early with a condition that caused his intelligence to increase at an extreme rate.

    "bio": "<p>Farago is an energetic and taunting <strong>Crystal</strong> who lives to throw hands. Armed with relentless moxie and the razor-sharp blade formed from her head, she charges into conflict without hesitation or a second thought.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She was born after the <strong>Dark Skies War</strong>, emerging from the <strong>Crystal Heart</strong> with such intense energy that her birth was unusually fast. From the start, Farago craved challenges, especially combat. Like Tkaragem, she sought constant tests of strength, but unlike him, she relied almost entirely on brute force.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As she grew, Farago refused to change her approach. Losses only made her charge harder, never stopping to reflect. That attitude eventually pushed her too far.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After losing a sparring match to a mysterious dark-blue Crystal named <strong>Navy</strong>, Farago lashed out in rage, damaging Crystal property and sending others fleeing. The rampage ended abruptly when Barricrude lifted her off the ground with one hand and berated her until her fury collapsed into despair.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Seeing how broken she truly was, Barricrude stopped and spoke with her. The conversation steadied Farago, and for the first time, she considered that strength without control led nowhere.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Determined to change, Farago took responsibility for her actions and helped repair the damage she caused. She did so with pride, and once finished, chose not to stop.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Farago became a full-time helper across the kingdom, using her speed and raw power to assist the elderly and the weak with tasks others could not manage. Her energy finally had direction.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, Farago lives with Barricrude, handling his chores while he works and continuing to learn restraint. She has also become Tkaragem's loudest admirer, constantly pestering him to train her.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Content with the path she chose, Farago strives to do good without abandoning who she is.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Her dream is to continue aiding the Crystals for as long as she lives, and one day surpass the mysterious Crystal who first forced her to confront herself.</p>\r\n",

Defending his people mattered more to him than anything else.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The training was brutal, yet Barricrude endured it all. Somehow, despite the relentless conditioning, he only grew larger.

    "bio": "<p>Charlotte is a creepy yet endearing spider monster who serves as the sole caretaker of Blendice's chaotic laboratory. Meticulous to an extreme, she suffers from severe OCD and finds genuine joy in keeping every surface, tool, and experiment perfectly maintained.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Charlotte was born in the <strong>Arachnid Abode</strong>, one of countless offspring of Spricados. Like her siblings, she lived safely within the den until instinct drove her to leave and explore the outside world.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Life beyond the cave was brutal. Small and fragile, Charlotte survived by spinning webs and constantly moving, knowing anything could kill her. Her greatest threat came when she encountered rain for the first time. Panicked and desperate, she swung blindly until colliding with Blendice.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Blendice noticed her immediately. Shielding her from the rain, he examined her and declared her a perfect specimen before she lost consciousness.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Charlotte awoke transformed, far larger, reinforced with porcupine-like quills, and placed in comfort with food, water, and silk. Blendice calmly reassured her, and Charlotte quickly associated him with safety. The injections that followed never bothered her, especially with rewards afterward.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At age three, Charlotte met Razorox. Though he initially tried to eat her, she strangely accepted the danger without fear. The two soon became inseparable, sharing a rare and joyful childhood together.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As they matured, Blendice separated them. Charlotte underwent further modifications, learning complex movement and combat techniques. By seventeen, her obsessive tendencies fully manifested during Blendice's tests-she excelled at restoring order from chaos.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, Charlotte is the lab's flawless caretaker. Cleaning gives her purpose, happiness, and pride.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Her dream is simple: to keep the lab eternally spotless and, if possible, to spend time with Razorox again.</p>\r\n",

    "bio": "<p>Spricados is a colossal spider monster and the eternal guardian of the Arachnid Abode, a vast cavern home to hundreds of thousands of her children. Calm and watchful by nature, she becomes lethally hostile the moment an intruder steps into her domain, those who enter her cave are never seen again.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Spricados's life began near the dawn of all species, when the planet itself was still young. She was once a tiny spider living in a mountain cave between what would one day become the Shadefolk and Centipedra kingdoms. Guided only by curiosity, she wandered wherever the wind carried her, across deserts, crystal plateaus, forests, swamps, frozen lands, and even the strange purple wastelands.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As time passed, Spricados grew... slowly but endlessly. Days became centuries. She learned from observation alone, eventually understanding the languages of emerging species as they evolved. By one hundred years, she stood three feet tall.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Spricados discovered how to weave immensely strong webs, sturdy enough to build structures and traps. For the next two centuries, she refined her craft, feeding on careless creatures and shaping her survival. At four hundred years old, now nine feet tall, she began to question her solitude.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Crossing the ocean before the great storms divided the seas, Spricados reached a radiant continent filled with dragons, lizards, and countless unfamiliar creatures. Yet still, none were like her, until she reached a dark purple isle.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There, she met another spider like herself, a male. It was love at first sight. They shared their stories, their journeys, and lived together in harmony for a century. Spricados became pregnant and believed she had finally found her forever.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That happiness ended when a deadly smog swept across the land, killing everything it touched. As they fled, Spricados hastily crafted a boat. Her mate pushed her aboard, then sent the vessel away as the smog closed in, sacrificing himself so she could live.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Heartbroken, Spricados returned alone to Fraier. In her grief, she nearly gave up-until she remembered her unborn children. They became her reason to endure.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the next 497 years, Spricados devoted herself entirely to her offspring, raising countless spiderlings within the Arachnid Abode. Intruders became sustenance, and for a long time, Shadefolk were her most common prey. She lost only one child across all those centuries and believes that child still lives somewhere.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By the time of the <strong>Dark Skies War</strong>, Spricados had grown into a towering 35-foot titan, wearing a menacing mask and commanding such presence that no army dared challenge her. The war passed her by untouched.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Spricados's dream is simple and unwavering: to protect and nurture her children for as long as she exists, and to see every one of them survive and succeed.</p>\r\n",

In the Crystal Kingdom, he studied Crystals under Ukara. In the Centipedra Kingdom, he learned endurance, monster slaying, and got a little action with a female. Among the Shadefolk, one taught him farming and survival, where he also met Iris.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the Frosts Kingdom, he mastered surviving extreme cold without fire. Returning at fifty, he found the Zuku changed and his discipline feared. When the Dark Skies War began, he vanished after giving Arrowite his final orders.</p>"

She has lived a life of all time surely, and she claims she has done everything a Frost can do, from serving in the front lines to sculpting the most amazing buildings known for Frost kind.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But really, she spent most of her time studying others, and she may even have been the reason Odera is one of the Frost leaders. She doesn't talk about that much and instead makes up her own stories to tell Frost children. Her dream has already been completed, as she settles in her old log cabin, keeping secrets unknown and telling lies galore.</p>"

Zaxonious started out as a young lost child, not sure what they wanted to do with their life.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So they went on an adventure and sought out the wonders of the world, and during that time he would also meet the Snake of Wisdom, where his wisdom would grow immensely. After traveling back to the slowly dying society of the Frost Kingdom, he would end up turning the kingdom 180 degrees and make it flourish once again.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Everyone praised Zaxonious's absolute brilliance; his thought process was truly unmatched compared to every other Frost, hence why they treated him as a king. But Zaxonious hated the thought of monarchy, and therefore refused the position and instead decided to build the council the Frost society has today.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now with the council made alongside four other professional leaders, the Frost society arguably has one of the best maintained kingdoms of all, with the only things holding them back being the harsh cold weather and limited resources.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Zaxonious's dream is to continue to grow through hardships within their society and to hopefully change the thought process of all the Frosts around the kingdom to think how he does, so that they may be in the best possible state of living.</p>"
