Maldth: /* History */

{{Worldbuilders}}{{Infobox_character|affilliation=Candela Obscura - Circle of The Prestige|name=Steve|image=Steve.png|caption=Steve Corden|relatives=Piers - Dad
James - Grandma
Gio - Friend
Mom|birthDate=A year after the start of the Shiver|birthPlace=unkown|height=6′ 0"
180 cm|eyes=Brown}}

'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a nineteen years old Muscle Explorer.

== Intro ==
An orphan found by James while trying to live on the streets, being homed by James allowed him to go to school and live a normal life. Until he was near a phenomena on a walk to class where he may had encountered some bleed, Candela and OUP were on scene and they found some weird reaction from their bleed detector... he seems to be okay... nothing on him indicated bleed... but the detector still went off which forced Candela to welcome him into their rank.

== Physical Appearance ==
Tall and fit, short unkempt brown hair, dark brown eyes. Is usually waring made to fit black jeans suit.

== Personality ==
A himbo.

Doesn't have a lot of opinions but if he feels strongly about something, you will know. He can be rash and quick to anger, but thats why he has his circle, to rein him in.

== History ==
Was born in the beginning of the shivers, --- to be exact, to a single mom who gave him a lot of affection, at least from what he remembers. She had a kind smile and whenever he tries to remember her, he feels her warmth. He doesn’t know how he lost her, but he knows why, the last great war.

His years from 4-10 are uncharted, he can’t remember anything, just that he woke up one day next to Newfaire central railway station and was lost and hungry. And he was like that until James found him and offered him shelter. From 10-18 he was raised like a family; James never made him feel like a charity case and gave him the same treatment one would give to kin.

After turning 18 and getting a scholarship (he's book smart sometimes, if he tries) to study archeology at Briarbank College, he decided to move out, although he keeps on visiting James and her <s>two</s> cats. In his first semester he got involved with a phenomena on his way to school which led to him being investigated and ended with an invitation into candela by Anastasia.

===== 4-10 CHARTED years. =====
Emanation and its end. In Hale war pursuit to best otherwise.

Steve was experimented on from a young age by an EONs faction that were desperate for an edge over Otherwhere. He was not given a name, as he was a test subject. The EONs faction, called Emanation, goal was to create the perfect human body using magick. They tried to focus on the capabilities of the mind and how to enhance it, to see if it is possible to move subjects by their thoughts only; although this worked, the children were still fragile, they did not have enough physical power to even run. Thus, they began looking at the capabilities of the body, this, unlike the first experiment, proved to be hard.

Magick can give humans physical power, but this effect either lingers and deteriorates the body with time, or it renders the child mind to that of an animal. They went through multiple test subjects, the only subject to give a promising result was Steve. He took to their experimentation, giving him an elite body with little to no side effects; he kept his mind, and his body wasn’t breaking with time.

They tried to replicate the results of N—1 experiment to other kids, but nothing took hold. This led to a lot of abuse by Emanation.

They soon began focusing on N-1 to produce proof of concept of a perfect body and a sound mind, this stage in the experimentation is what led to Emanation demise.<blockquote>‘The subject is talkative; nothing stops it from speaking even prof. Kenneth......'

‘N-1 still impossible to recreate, but proof of concept for our weapon is closer than we think.’

‘Kyle our new lab assistant, is calling it a ‘he’, I told him he can't have any sympathy’

‘...I’m worried, it is not as talkative as it used to be.’

‘...The look it just...I can’t sleep... ...His- its eyes are so angry yet he's so still’</blockquote>As the pressure of producing something to help the war efforts increased on them, Emanation made a mistake. and this mistake costs them heavily. Something happened(?), Steve used all he had to destroy Emanation, his powers lost, or gone dormant.

EONs believe the incident was caused by an experiment gone wrong, it's unclear if EONs knew what Emanation was doing.

== Relationships ==
[[File:Steve Corden 1721240396855.png|thumb|409x409px|He told him.]]

=== Piers ===
Piers quick care and protectiveness over him surprised Steve. He admires Piers so much and believes he can do no wrong, and if he did it's for a reason! Being a magician's assistant with no understanding of magick is a hard thing to be and he makes a lot of mistakes, but Piers never got angry with him and always had the time to teach him. He's never had a father figure in his life but Piers is dad.

=== James ===
A large part of Steve upbringings, from age ten to eighteen, James raised him as another son, giving him the same affections if not more, after she found him lost and trying to get by (mostly by stealing). He respects James so much and will literally do anything to keep her safe. He has been advocating for her retirement since he knew of her involvement in candela, she has been telling him that she will retire for a year now. James’s son and his kids keep correspondence with Steve. He knows about her husband but just recently, after he got recruited into candela, did he learn that there's a mystery surrounding his death.

=== Gio ===
''Gio and Steve can never be friends. Gio believes he can be''

''excused for his continuous support of EONS, since he was forced into it with no way of leaving, meanwhile Steve believes that anyone has the power to get away, or they can die trying.''

''In their history together: gio is someone he was close to and because of that EONS used him against Steve. He was tortured and beaten up whenever Steve wouldn’t oblige EONS. They grew up together and they tried to protect each other. Didn’t really work...''
----He got him back! They both need a lot of therapy but he did!

The youngest of the Ferguson's, Maggy had fallen in love with Tommy's nephew and the scion of the Romano crime family, Michael. The investigators diligently found, through an examination of Tommy's body in the city morgue that he was murdered, that he had been murdered rather than the purported suicide that that the Periphery was trying to say his death was. During a climactic confrontation with Martin and a flock of eldritch birds under his command, the investigators helped Maggy and Michael flee the city and place Martin into Grayslate Sanatorium for safe keeping and protection from the Romano family. The rest of the Ferguson clan watched as their son was taken into custody but did not end their relationship with Romano.

District/Locations:

Important Things that Happened:

6 months after what happened in the theater has passed, newspapers has talked about :

# A deadly sickness, the dead rash, with symptoms of oozing red rashes on limps, cough, and fever. It effected 30% of population. Some people just… don’t get it.
# ''Recent death of the Divine Herald.''

Candela was called by Ascendancy when Cardinal Reynolds, and Cardinal Zeroth died after ineracting with the Divine Herald corpse. Candela investigators went to shiverline to talk to holy mother

//—//

investigators found:

# Bleed on body and the face itself. Not coming from the mask.
# Mask will let the soul out. Mask is fixed to face, will be hard to take off.
# MAKEUP ON HERALD. A specific woman does this. '''Leslie Daulphin'''.
# THERE IS. AT THE BASE OF THE HERALD NECK. An incision mark. NO BLOOD? connected to the artery. The blood is poisoned, they knew its gonna be removed.

/—/ Baxter the head of OUP came by and stopped Candela's investigation

//—//

The team found this list for '''interviews. THIS IS FOR NEW HERALD DIVINE.'''

'''Aarons, Sawyer (Cardinal in the Eves districts), Howard, Levins,'''

'''Fournier(not familiar to GIN? Who is this? Not usual surname for new-faire)'''

They also found a necklace that has a bleed, this necklace is used by the hauled and high ranking church members. The team didn't touch or take the necklace.

/-/

The team headed to Melody Wildes house in the sidle. WILDES Melody is new to the area, moved from the west. Lacroix, moved from there. Family is a refuge. Dad started the funeral business from Mister woods. Brother and husband live upstairs. Dad is old now.

The team went together to the house of grief, Melody is frozen in place, when approached, the team noticed a pair of puncture marks on the side of her neck. Not like the herald, this is more of….. bite…. Two teeth?

Picture of her and a man. They are shaken hands, this is Mr. Woods. He seems happy and sure. She looked…. Off.

Someone sneaking inside? The team try to hide from them, the older gentleman is now here. Asks why she’s here. She looks nervous talking to what it can be seen now as Mr. wood?

Mr. Woods, has the same bleed as melody, STRONGER. So strong. It radiates from him.

After going to his Mind Palace, Jamie figured out that Melody is under control from Mr. Woods. He must have been the one to miss with the makeup. When Gin left the house of grief, she noticed Mr. Woods watching the team at the top of the building…..

'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a nineteen years old Muscle Explorer.

== Intro ==
An orphan found by James while trying to live on the streets, being homed by James allowed him to go to school and live a normal life. Until he was near a phenomena on a walk to class where he may had encountered some bleed, Candela and OUP were on scene and they found some weird reaction from their bleed detector... he seems to be okay... nothing on him indicated bleed... but the detector still went off which forced Candela to welcome him into their rank.

== Physical Appearance ==
Tall and fit, short unkempt brown hair, dark brown eyes. Is usually waring made to fit black jeans suit.

== Personality ==
A himbo.

Doesn't have a lot of opinions but if he feels strongly about something, you will know. He can be rash and quick to anger, but thats why he has his circle, to rein him in.

== History ==
Was born in the beginning of the shivers, --- to be exact, to a single mom who gave him a lot of affection, at least from what he remembers. She had a kind smile and whenever he tries to remember her, he feels her warmth. He doesn’t know how he lost her, but he knows why, the last great war.

His years from 4-10 are uncharted, he can’t remember anything, just that he woke up one day next to Newfaire central railway station and was lost and hungry. And he was like that until James found him and offered him shelter. From 10-18 he was raised like a family; James never made him feel like a charity case and gave him the same treatment one would give to kin.

After turning 18 and getting a scholarship (he's book smart sometimes, if he tries) to study archeology at Briarbank College, he decided to move out, although he keeps on visiting James and her <s>two</s> cats. In his first semester he got involved with a phenomena on his way to school which led to him being investigated and ended with an invitation into candela by Anastasia.

== Relationships ==

=== Piers ===
Piers quick care and protectiveness over him surprised Steve. He admires Piers so much and believes he can do no wrong, and if he did it's for a reason! Being a magician's assistant with no understanding of magick is a hard thing to be and he makes a lot of mistakes, but Piers never got angry with him and always had the time to teach him. He's never had a father figure in his life but Piers is dad.

=== James ===
A large part of Steve upbringings, from age ten to eighteen, James raised him as another son, giving him the same affections if not more, after she found him lost and trying to get by (mostly by stealing). He respects James so much and will literally do anything to keep her safe. He has been advocating for her retirement since he knew of her involvement in candela, she has been telling him that she will retire for a year now. James’s son and his kids keep correspondence with Steve. He knows about her husband but just recently, after he got recruited into candela, did he learn that there's a mystery surrounding his death.

=== Gio ===
<s>REDACTED</s>

== Missons ==

=== Mission to the shipwreck. ===
The demons themselves made this vault. Reading through the papers it looks like they made it 10 years ago before the war. Supposed to seal artifacts that were contaminated by bleed. Failed. Per usual. Somethings are redacted, but there was a huge red stamp that read abort. That tells us why this has been abandoned.

'''Amelie Fontaine.''' I will always be her friend.

Fuck. It really doesn’t stop for them. They keep on taking and taking. And from who? Children. The reliquary.

She held this fucking place up for 10 years. Unchanging. Fucking EONS. The ''reliquary'', inhumane.

== Powers and Abilities ==
Behind Me. Mind over Matter.

'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a warforged, path of wild magic, barbarian.

==Physical Appearance==
A 190-tall metal-looking humanoid. Radion has hallowed eyes that would look disturbing if no bright light came out of it.

He only wears pants, a loincloth, and a hood, so you can see the metal design of his body. Weirdly his core does not show. It may be covered by a hood. He does not wear shoes on principles.

His metal body is of steel blue color. He wears a purple hood that matches his loincloth; the hood is held by sphere looking pin, on the back of the hood is a really faded symbol that looks like the sun that you have to look really hard to noticed it. He has a pair of dark greenish-gray trousers and is usually seen with his axe that fits his blue metal body. He has a necklace that dangles on his belt.

==Creation==
R-503 was created by an artificer named Ailmar Rivleam sometime before The War of the Forged for his seven-year-old daughter, Daena, who has been in a depressive state since his mother’s death. The creation process took around two years to complete. His purpose was to be a companion to Daena and help her overcome her mother’s death. He was not built with the knowledge of fighting or being a soldier.

==History==

=== The beginning (722 PR)===
Unlike many warforged, R-503 was not made to be a killing machine. He began his life with one goal.

“This is Daena. You are to be her companion, which means you must be kind to her, keep her safe, and make her happy.”

The first time he met Daena was underwhelming; she was consumed by her grief to care. (Years later, she would tell Radion she was not impressed since she thought him a golem, but he knows better.) After some time, she began to acclimate to his constant presence in her life. But what made them really connect was when Daena discovered that R-503 was but a child that did not know much in the world, and she, nine at the time, was most confident in her knowledge of the world.

Everything that makes Radion what he is today was given to him by Daena. His name, his personality, and his love for art.

*''“I told you, it’s R-503. It is not short for anything.” ''
*''“But it can be! I can’t just call you R-503; it’s too long. How about I choose something?” ''
*''“Sure.” ''
*''“Raco-” “Other than Raccoon, be creative.” ''
*''“Ugh, no fun... How about Radion?”''

===Teenage years (723-730 PR)===
During Daena’s teenage years, Ailmar was the same father as always. He still found it challenging to connect with his daughter and did not let go of the grief and guilt of his wife’s death. He also did not bother with R-503 unless it was monthly maintenance. But Daena’s relationship with Radion continued to strengthen. She always referred to him as her overprotective brother; it could be older or younger, depending on the day/situation.

Given Daena’s curious nature, she would usually hyper-fixate on something, whether swimming, hunting, or dancing, and always drag Radion with her. The last of her hyper fixation was on sparring. She would tease Radion about how bad he is at it.

* ''“Come one! You’re a warforged; shouldn’t you be better than this?” ''
*''“I was built for a different purpose, you know this. And you are not any better than me.”''

===The Night (730 PR) ===
Around 730 PR, the tension in Sneerwell was heightened. News of the warforged protesting their rights in Isonhound was spreading, and the possibility of a protest happening in the city kept everyone on edge. Radion could no longer go out with Daena to the city without being harassed by common people. The protests did start at Sneerwell, which led Ailmar to forbid R-503 from going outside or interacting with any warforged in the city. This angered Daena greatly; she was sympathetic to the cause of the warforged and would have a long conversation with Radion about how they should get their independence.

On the night of Dalsk 27, Ailmar, who was working overtime at Pendergras Industries to quell the warforged rebellion, returned to his estate to find it shambles. After a quick investigation, he found Daena bloodied and covered by Radion’s body, both unconscious. He tried to get help for Daena just to find out that she was no more. He was told that a Warforged rebellion had heard of the beginning of the War of the Forged and wanted to make a statement. And what better statement than to wreak havoc on the estate of a warforged engineer and a known oppressor?

R-503 remembers every detail of that night but does not like to recall these memories.

He remembers that it was a night like any other, with Daena and him lounging around the estate, reading the latest book that caught Daena’s fancy. He remembers hearing a loud hammering that made both of them jump. He remembers asking Daena to hide in her father’s dungeon/lab. He remembers investigating the noise to find a group of five warforged who just broke into the estate. He remembers trying to reason with them but to no avail. He remembers getting knocked out and accepting defeat; he was not built for war.

And he remembers his sister, the noise of the fight must have scared her, running to the fray to beg these bandits to stop, to take whatever they want but leave him alone. He remembers a disagreement that broke between the bandits; one saying to just kill her, the others saying it was not what they were tasked to do.

*''“NO! STOP, PLEASE! I know where my father keeps all his valuables; just leave him alone.”''
He remembers how she was killed, the rouge one grappling her and slicing her throat. He remembers it. He dreams of it often enough.

He remembers the rage he felt that day, how, in a second, he went from a begging, shouting mess asking for his sister to be left alone to standing over the last living warforged in the group.

*''“how how how she said it was going to be easy, she said the warforged was but a weak companion, how did you d-”''

What he also recalls was the aftermath. Being dragged by Ailmar to his lab, feeling Ailmar anger in his shouts. Being tinkered with to change from the warforged companion of Daena to the warforged soldier of revenge.

*''“They want their independence?! Let me show them what their '''own''' kind can do to '''them'''.”''

===The War of the Forged (730-7...?) ===
This is the time that R-503 does not remember at all. All he knew was to follow orders and kill as many warforged as possible. He was awake in his early years, just to slumber when every warforged awakened. He only remembers the hate from those who fought on his side, questioning every move he takes and demeaning every action he does not take.

And he remembers his final moments in that terrible war, the silence he did not know he wanted.

=== Wandering in Isonhound (800 PR - 837 PR) ===
Radi- R-503 woke up in a place so beautiful yet so dangerous. (He would later learn that it was the fey wild). He began to wander around, trying to survive while all the memories of the before and after finding purchase again in his mind.

He journeyed until he was able to reach Barrier Peaks, a place he knew to be near Sneerwell. He continued to travel since there was no Daena to call him back to Sneerwell. He did not know at what time he returned to his world. He only knew that he shut down in the climax of the War of the Forged, and now it’s done; no more war. He often thinks about what that warforged meant before he killed him. Who is "''she''", and why did she send those to kill him?

His journey took him around Isonhound; he visited city after city until he could not handle the similarities it had with Sneerwell and the memory that the place holds of Daena. He decided to travel to different continent but traveling by ship to a different continent is expensive.

R-503 tried a lot of jobs; he tried fishing, hunting, cooking... etc. He was not good, but he was okay. They also didn’t have much revenue, but he had patience and nothing to look forward to. After some time and many other jobs, he had the money to travel, so he traveled to Amusa, the land of the lost. A fitting name for what he is. Amusa was beautiful and big, but most importantly, it was different.

=== Wandering in Amusa, ===

=== Warukami, Drihaol (837 PR) ===
Radion first stop in Amusa was in the domain of Troveth. Troveth port town Warukami was a good place for him to busy himself. He first met someone called Yostrik Ironbrew, a dwarfish barkeep of the Drihaol tavern.

The first time Yostrik met Radion was when the latter came into town with a state that shows he has been traveling for multiple days with no rest; even with the knowledge that Radion is warforged with no need to eat, sleep, or get warm but this did not deter Yostrik from taking care of him. Yostrik invited him to the tavern and asked him to rest, and when Radion promised to repay the favor, the dwarf just nodded his head.

After multiple days of resting and gathering his energy, Radion asked the dwarf what he can do to help him, after some insistence the dwarf agreed to let the forged act as a bouncer for his tavern

* “Ah shit, if you insist on doing something, how about you use this metal body of yours and take care of any ruckus that happens in this tavern?

=== Wakurami, Dragontooth Arena (839 PR) ===
After a year or two of working as a bouncer for Yostrik in the Drihoal tavern, getting between fights and calming things down, Radion grabs the attention of a traveling group that came to place bets on the Dragontooth Arena fights. Dragontooth Arena was planning to host a huge tournament that would last for three months, talks of this tournament was circulating around Drihoal tavern but Radion did not think much of it.

The traveling group, calling themselves Timaeus, wanted to draft Radion into the tournament, telling him how he is built for it and will be able to win it, bringing riches to everyone involved. Radion refused at first, and even with their instance he continued to refuse. Yostrik, hearing this conversation, asked Radion to promise him never even think of fighting in a tournament.

* “Never accept these fuckers offer, they will suck you dry and then some more. They are greedy bastard with no care to life only profit. “

After Timaeus talked with Radion, the latter noticed the group hanging around the tavern, not talking to him, but just hanging around. A week before the tournament began Radion gets back from a walk around the town to see Yostrik beaten, blooded, and on the edge of death. ''It reminded him of losing his person.'' Getting to work, he grabbed Yostrik and healed him with a healing potion he had found in his journey and had been keeping, once he was sure Yostrik was okay, he began to look around trying to figure out what had happened. He found the following note.

''“You do not say no to Timaeus. We kept him alive, barely. If you do not want his death on your hands, come and find us on tournament ground.''

'''''You will fight for us.”'''''

Radion, riddled with guilt, makes up his mind and goes to check on Yostrik one last time. Yostrik, just waking up, notices Radion and begs him not to go, that it is not worth it.

* “This is my problem, you suffered enough just by knowing me.”

The trip to tournament ground was filled with flashbacks to that dreaded night in Sneerwell, flashbacks of the good Yostrik has done to Radion in the few years he knew him, how he was the first person to show Radion kindness since Daena’s death. He needed to avenge him, but first he got to play by their rules. After reaching Dragontooth Arena he finds the Timaeus groups and makes his way towards them, they looked smug and assured that he will comes. Once they noticed him, they broke into a grin.

* “You have finally decided to join us, I wonder what changed your mind!”

* Radion, seething with rage, “You will get what you want, and more than what you asked, let’s get started.”

=== Wakurami, Dragontooth Tournament (839 PR) ===
The Dragontooth tournament being held had three phases.

The first phase was an all-out fight between everyone in the tournament, it only stops when half of the fighters are down. Radion, not that smart of a guy, still worked in an army and knew how to handle this kind of situation. So, his plan was to wait it out. That worked for the first half of the fight, but he was noticed by a half orc fighter. The fighter, who Radion noticed to be working with a group who was antagonistic to Timaeus shouted to Radion,

* '''“THERE HE IS!!! THE NEW TOY OF TIMAEUS. COME HERE!!! LET ME SHOW YOU HOW ITS DONE.”'''

Both were huge fighters and specialized in melee. The half orc jumped on Radion, trying to take him out quickly and smoothly. But Radion sturdy metal body was able to withhold the attacks. Radion used a battle axe to swing at the half orc head, hitting him doing a decent amount of damage. They traded blows for a while until Radion, a raging barbarian with a lot of experience, was able to knock him out. Radion has passed his first trial.

-

The second phase was where Radion might have suffered; this phase required winning a dual by only landing a long-range attack. Radion was paired with a spell caster. Before the match Timaeus tried to change the pairing to another melee fighter, knowing that Radion probability of winning this dual is close to nothing. At the beginning of the fight, no one was paying mind, and everyone assumed the caster finish Radion in one go, but in a wicked twist of fate, the caster was poison focused, who only knew spells that do poison damage. Radion warforged body resisted any poison damage and it was impossible to poison him. After a quick show of her spell casting abilities, the caster was knocked out. Radion has passed his second trial.

-

Everyone was now interested in this warforged fighter who managed to win against the worst of odds, bets started to come in and people finally believed he might have a chance to when this, which excited those in Timaeus. But there were still some doubts, the final phase was yet to come.

-

The third and final phase of the tournament was a single-elimination tournament, with only 16 finalists to fight. The first round of elimination was easy on Radion, he was paired with a ranger who had no hope of winning once the barbarian was in melee. The quarterfinal was against a monk who proved to be a bit of a challenge, but Radion managed to knock him up just barely.

The semi final was against a caster who learned from Radion second phase fight and came prepared, the only reason Radion was able to triumph over her was because of the lightening resistance potion Timaeus gave to him.

Thus, here comes the final. Radion has been hearing of another barbarian who kills whoever hes against, and if not for the clerics in standby more than a dozen would be dead. Determined to take this savage down, the warforged set up a plan with the help of Timaeus. The fight, which was supposed to be with fistfight, came to end with Radion on top, the other barbarian didn't get a chance to rage.

=== Revenge of the Forged (840 PR) ===
After winning the Dragontooth tournament of 839, Timaeus arrogance grew to no bounds. Radion thinking, he had the upper hand, decided to riot against them on multiple occasions to no avail, they were more, and they knew how he fought. He was used by them just like Ailmar during the war. He thought he went far away from Ailmar to escape it but he is still a construct. A man-made construct that shouldn’t even-

The rescue came with a figure that reminded him so much of Daena, is it Daena? Is he dreaming? Is he finally ‘dying?’ because Daena is dead but this... She said her name is Ahriman Zestari and she might as well set me free.

==Letters to Dae==

======1======
I have been wandering the continent of Isonhound for I don't know how many days? Weeks? Months? And I always debate if I should return to your father, my maker, to check his existence and well-being. But my resentment against him for being so careless of what he says is stronger. If he had just kept his mouth shut, none of this would have happened; if I had been faster, stronger, and built for war, you would not be gone. Leaving me alone to chart the world. I often ask myself if my hatred for Ailmar stems from the need to share this guilt with someone.

======2======
I just learned that it is the year of 788. I have been slumbering for half a decade. The warforged now has their own independence. They are a race like any other race. I don't know how I feel about that. I never wrote what happened after your death. I have fought in the war and not on the side you would expect.

I haven't written for you mainly for one reason; I was the Villain in the story. And Daena, I can't have you see me as a villain; your judgment is the only judgment I care about.

But yeah... I missed the war's end, and 50 years after, I'm still trying to understand its outcome.

======3======
It's the year of 800! You would have been turning 87 in a new era. I've been doing all sorts of jobs to get by. Hunting, cooking, fishing- Someone offered to employ me as a bodyguard. That was amusing'', I'm no protector.''

======4======
It's 866, and I grow tired of Isonhound. I have done everything imaginable, and I'm starting to feel weary. Tales of my jobs may have reached some people. People who want to exact revenge. It could have reached Ailmar; to finally hear of my survival, he would likely want to claim me back. But I was never his. I always was your brother and only that.

Been hearing of a sky-ship that can ferry me across the skies to the continent of Amusa; I might just do that.

======5======
Amusa is different, and as someone who doesn't like changes, you would have thought I'd hate it, but no. I actually like it here.

Everything is new, with no ghosts to haunt me.

====== 6 ======
I met a dwarf who cared for me deeply, but my care for him showed and a band of thugs wounded him to get to me. What happened to Yostrik is my fault. I shouldn't get closer to people, I am a magnet to danger and no one should suffer because of me. I will take care of them once I grew stronger, with their help.

======7======
I've been hearing of an expedition company led by two brothers. I may go and become a member. It is a weird choice for me, I know. But I have been feeling the anger for decades. I fear it will consume me. And I don't want to kill and wreak havoc on innocents for no reason. I just need a simple goal with clear instructions to follow.

Daena, it's been getting harder and harder, and time has not done anything to ease this... whatever ''this'' is.

======8======
I did my first mission with the expedition and may have acted foolishly. See, Daena, I'm not a strategist I am a muscle. I get pointed in a direction with clear orders and follow them as best as possible.

The first mission we were tasked to do was to look for a dead dragon treasure inside a mountain. My companions seemed powerful, which was assuring. While walking through the forest near the mountain, I noticed the magic around us may cause illusions; but even with this information when I saw you standing there with your nine-year-old visage. I had to run towards you. Daena, I have a lot of memories of you, but I still fear forgetting your face and your voice.

After fighting, whatever the treasures we found turned into a hole that led to the 'dead' Dragon. He promised me you, but I know you were gone. What happened in the forest was a weakness. ''I don't even know why I continue writing to you.''

We refused the Dragon's offers, and most of us fled. I was going to escape, but a caster stayed behind. And I guess the instructions from my… masters stuck around. ''I am cannon fodder; I must protect the caster.'' I don't like this reasoning. I know I said I'm not a protector, but I'd rather have the urge to protect just because I wanted to, not because of what the war turned me into.

So here's me swearing to you, as long as I have yet to live, I will ''always'' choose to ''protect'' and keep everyone safe; as long as they are not hostile, they have nothing to fear from me.

======9======
I met a warforged on my second mission; he was blaming me for what I did in the war; that I betrayed 'our' kind. I must say, I was surprised to be recognized. I told them I was used like many of our kind was. ''I don't know if I even I believe that.'' I was filled with hate and rage against the forged, they took you away from me. I wanted to hurt them even though I knew it wasn’t right.

I know I wasn’t in control, but I did not fight any command given by Ailmar.

====== 10 ======
Third mission! Yes, I know.. even I’m surprised I stuck out this long. But I’m doing good Daena! We went to an underground colony filled with gnolls. They were building war machine; connecting their bodies to warforged parts, things I have not seen since the war.

They even had prisoners for “food.” We saved those prisoners; it was the first time in awhile where I ever felt like I was truly protecting for the sole purpose of protecting. That place... It was disgusting and our group knew to sabotage it.

I must continue my work here. I don’t know if protecting is truly my purpose but if it feels me with so much… joy, I must pursue it further.

Daena, I never even hoped to dream of making you proud of me, but this? This may actually work.

======11======
Just when I was looking up to my work here...

Remember the gnolls' colony I told you about? how we destroyed it? Well, it was because of that that Lorrie, a comrade I met in my first mission, lost her entire group. They were ambushed by the gnolls as an act of desperation. I know what we did was right, but it still had consequence, I think I need to learn to be ready for them; or at least never do something unless I am accepting of any bad outcome it may bring.

Our mission was to retrieve a cargo that the gnolls took from Lorrie. We lost someone on this mission, he had a weird power like mine, but more chaotic. I manged to salvage a necklace out of their remains; I did not know them, but I will honor them. During the battle, I had to pull someone to safety and in a flash I swear I saw you instead of them, what a young adult you would look like.

You would have been 180. I keep thinking on what path you would have taken, would you pursue your love of reading and grow to be an artificer like your father? would you return to the fling you had for combat and be a fighter? or would you have developed a skill for arcane magic like your mother? Lots of questions that I will never know the answer to.

I know you wouldn't approve, but I acquired a scroll of sending and I am tempted to check on your father.

====== 12 ======
I went scouting for ripjaw. I feel guilty.

What a childish thing to say,

====== 13 ======
We went to stop someone that people knew of? was a friend? then died and now hes undead? I don't know it's all over the place. All I know is that we were sent to stop him but we failed and now a demon is on the loose. I think.

You would have had more fun trying to solve this.

====== 14 ======
So.

Remember that dragon? The one we met, that showed me you? We went back to finally get rid of it! I know, I fought a dragon and I survived! I even had the last killing blow! wow me! sorry I'm trying to be excited for this but I just. I should start stop thinking that much about you yeah? its becoming to get "unhealthy", or so Ahriman would say...

====== 15 ======
Well I just met some kids and saved some kids. (and fought some gnolls but thats per usual)

====== ?? I don’t even know what entry this is, it's been rough ======
I went to war? With four? Five? Of dragons, on the opposite side sadly. It was rough. I hated it. And it reminded me of things I buried deep in my machinery. Things I really don’t want to remember or feel because... Daena, they weren’t me. They aren’t. They were his orders, his madness. But no, it was also my passiveness...

I met my brothers! Your brothers? They are identical to me, and they have yet to awaken, I tried but they were too... young? I don’t know. They were also sent as a trope to aid in the war. I didn’t really expect him to care about the wellness of the people away from his political and financial gain... Daena he really changed after you were gone.

But who am I kidding? After I convensed them to follow my orders and aid me in the war, they found an awakened warforged in the battlefield and ran to kill it! Their first order? They called it, I think. I hate him. I had to stop them and save the forged (funny) and then they turned on me! I told them, I am awakened! “Sentient!” as you put it, why not kill me too? And they said they will, and themself, after they finish the objective. The objective of what you may ask? To kill all sentient beings.

There was a post after the fight concluded, they threatened that they are coming after me.

I thought he left that obsession and rage last time I checked, I looked him up after being set free and awakened (for the second time ha!) but no... He still obsesses and he still rages. I really hoped for him to find peace but who am I to kid? He made me for you, he will do everything for you, he will call it love and maybe it is his way of love. But it is not mine. I love you and I always think of you, but I managed to find a life of my own, a life full of fighting and protecting, but I told you before, protecting is my calling. It had to be.

I think this is the most I have written for you. I think I told you things you have no context of; and it is sad because you are not here to ask questions. But I will believe in an afterlife if it means I can tell you all of this and you can then ask me whatever you want to ask.

Oh yeah I also went on a heist! and tried to be charming! and it worked! they believed my deceptions!

====== Okay wait i need to talk about something else ======
One of the forged twins of mine said something about someone. I had talked to that person before, since I saw something disturbing going on, but he assured me that its okay? I believed him! But my twin told me he saw him kill someone! I don’t know what to do about this. Should I talk to him? Should I talk about it to someone else? I forget sometimes that we are not a band of do-gooders, there are some people who I should not trust, I should not even protect. I will try to talk to him, I do not know what to do if that was not his second, since I saw his first.

==Relationships ==

===Daena Rivleam ===
Daena was Radion’s only friend. He grew up with her. He learned everything from her. He loved her, considered her a sister, and was set to do everything to make her happy. Daena was kind, mischievous, and had a love for art. She was the only one then to call Radion by his name. And he learned to nickname her Dae after some time. They would do everything together; all their waking moments they had together.

Radion knew Daena since she was 9 years old until her death at the age of seventeen. He misses her all the time; sees her in everyone he meets.

=== Ahriman Zestari ===
(Cont. from Revenge of the Dragontooth)

Once he got back to himself, the first question he had was “What of Timaeus?” in which she said “gone.” It was then he noticed the other group of people flanking her.

Ahriman told him she was here to get rid of Timaeus; since they began to step over some powerful people toes, they wanted them gone. She had had heard of him, while doing her research, the champion of Dragontooth, rendered to this all because of Timaeus.

“I wasn’t feeling guilty about their perishment but now? good riddance.”

She offered a job to Radion, away from this city and all of the attention, where he can be useful still. She knew of his reservation, of how he doesn’t have it in him to kill unnecessary. “We will get rid of bad people for ever worse people, are you okay with that?” it sounded like less evil, he was okay with that.

===Ailmar Rivleam ===
His maker. Alimar Rivleam was a strict master and a father. He greatly loved his daughter, but that could not translate well to her. The only thing that he knew to do well was to make things that fix things.

He considers his first failure in his life to be that he could not figure out how to cure his wife. After his wife’s death, he could not figure out how to cheer up his daughter, Daena. Daena had just turned seven when his wife died, and she always had a great fascination for golems.

That is why Ailmar started working on a warforged machine that could accompany his daughter everywhere in an attempt to cheer her up. His creation process for this warforged took a lot of trials and errors. The definitive version of the warforged, which he gifted to his daughter on her ninth birthday, was code-named R-503. Ailmar has the resources needed for this creation because of his work in the Pendergras Industries.

From his perspective, his second failure was that he could not keep his daughter safe.

=== Yostrik Ironbrew ===
Yostrik Ironbrew was an old dwarf with a loud personality but a kind heart. Radion's first re-introduction to kindness in the name of kindness. He was loud, funny, and swore a lot; but he was also wise, he knew when Radion was thinking about his life of before, and he would try to busy him; sending him out on wild quests with no clear goals, this used to frustrate Radion.

Yostrik was the first person ever to learn about Radion's past, Radion talked about Daena the most with him, telling him about his hobbies and how she can never pick one. He told him about what happened to her, how she died and what Radion had to do to avenge her. Yostrik, a father with two, could understand how huge of a loss this is. He Made Radion a necklace with a portrait of Daena to keep on his person.

He is the reason why Radion is not open to people.

==Personality==
Radion is reserved. he does not interact with people unless they seek him out; he refuses to get attached to anyone. He keeps away from crowded places. He is primarily neutral and does not hurt anyone unless they prove to be an obstacle to his objective. He swore to always be a protector, for he tries to keep anyone on a mission with him away from danger; this may be out of habit from the war since he was cannon fodder for magic users or his way of attuning to the one time he didn’t protect the one that means the most to him.

''AN; hes an angsty little guy''

==Languages==
Common and Elvish, and un-named language that Daena invented when she was 12 which he continuously questioned. He switches between formal and informal speech.

==Powers and Abilities==
His second awakening happened in the fey wild, where wild magic is all around. He woke up with the ability to channel his rage into wild magic. He is proficient with strength weapons and can hold his own in combat. After some work with the company Radion's power evolved; now he can channel his magic to resist certain type of damage, he can also infuse these types into his weapon to deal extra elemental damage.

==Weapons ==
He carries his trusted great axe, 4 javelins he may have stolen on the road, and two hand axes for emergencies.

Maldth:

'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is an online Illuminated Worlds community campaign that began on December of 2023.

The campaign involves investigators of Candela Obscura seeks to procure phenomena of the Flare to research and protect the world from its dangers and magick, based on the TTRPG of the same name.

== About ==
In the city of Newfaire, located in the Northern end of Noma on the continent of Osubogo, a revolution has just begun. Since the cut off from all other planes, the world has fallen into a mundane forgetfulness and in this quiet area of the continent that has always been simple and mostly human, a new danger awaits.

In the settling dust of the Great No Man’s war of 27 CR, three great powers has arisen and split Newfaire among themselves. The Ascendancy, the religion of this area, The Primacy, the national government, and the Periphery, a militant police force.

Now, in 34 CR, strange happenings have begun to take hold in Newfaire’s streets, the Scarlet Woods, and the Bridleborn mountains surrounding. A realm, completely cut off from all others and nearly forgotten what dangers they hold finds itself on the threshold of another plane, The Flare. The Flare has found itself brushing against Newfaire in thinning and releasing the aberrant and eldritch horrors that those who now occupy the city, have long forgotten.

It is up to a crack team of investigators, made up of every day professors, street magicians, occultists, and even lowly criminals to find, secure and protect the citizens and keep them none the wiser. They do so by working for a quaint organization, Qandela Obscura.

{{Infobox_character|affilliation=Candela Obscura - Circle of The Prestige|name=Steve|image=none.jpg|caption=Steve nolastname|relatives=Piers - Dad
James - Grandma
Mom|birthDate=A year after the start of the Shiver|birthPlace=unkown|height=6′ 0"
180 cm|eyes=Brown}}

'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a nineteen years old Muscle Explorer.

An orphan found by James while trying to live on the streets, being homed by James allowed him to go to school and live a normal life. Until he was near a phenomena on a walk to class where he may had encountered some bleed, Candela and OUP were on scene and they found some weird reaction from their bleed detector... he seems to be okay... nothing on him indicated bleed... but the detector still went off which forced Candela to welcome him into their rank.

== Physical Appearance ==
Tall and fit, short unkempt brown hair, dark brown eyes. Is usually waring made to fit black jeans suit.

== Personality ==
A himbo.

Doesn't have a lot of opinions but if he feels strongly about something, you will know. He can be rash and quick to anger, but thats why he has his circle, to rein him in.

== History ==
Was born in the beginning of the shivers, --- to be exact, to a single mom who gave him a lot of affection, at least from what he remembers. She had a kind smile and whenever he tries to remember her, he feels her warmth. He doesn’t know how he lost her, but he knows why, the last great war.

His years from 4-10 are uncharted, he can’t remember anything, just that he woke up one day next to Newfaire central railway station and was lost and hungry. And he was like that until James found him and offered him shelter. From 10-18 he was raised like a family; James never made him feel like a charity case and gave him the same treatment one would give to kin.

After turning 18 and getting a scholarship (he's book smart sometimes, if he tries) to study archeology at Briarbank College, he decided to move out, although he keeps on visiting James and her <s>two</s> cats. In his first semester he got involved with a phenomena on his way to school which led to him being investigated and ended with an invitation into candela by Anastasia.

== Relationships ==

=== Piers ===
Piers quick care and protectiveness over him surprised Steve. He admires Piers so much and believes he can do no wrong, and if he did it's for a reason! Being a magician's assistant with no understanding of magick is a hard thing to be and he makes a lot of mistakes, but Piers never got angry with him and always had the time to teach him. He's never had a father figure in his life but Piers is dad.

=== James ===
A large part of Steve upbringings, from age ten to eighteen, James raised him as another son, giving him the same affections if not more, after she found him lost and trying to get by (mostly by stealing). He respects James so much and will literally do anything to keep her safe. He has been advocating for her retirement since he knew of her involvement in candela, she has been telling him that she will retire for a year now. James’s son and his kids keep correspondence with Steve. He knows about her husband but just recently, after he got recruited into candela, did he learn that there's a mystery surrounding his death.

'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a warforged, path of wild magic, barbarian.

==Physical Appearance==
A 190-tall metal-looking humanoid. Radion has hallowed eyes that would look disturbing if no bright light came out of it.

He only wears pants, a loincloth, and a hood, so you can see the metal design of his body. Weirdly his core does not show. It may be covered by a hood. He does not wear shoes on principles.

His metal body is of steel blue color. He wears a purple hood that matches his loincloth; the hood is held by sphere looking pin, on the back of the hood is a really faded symbol that looks like the sun that you have to look really hard to noticed it. He has a pair of dark greenish-gray trousers and is usually seen with his axe that fits his blue metal body. He has a necklace that dangles on his belt.

==Creation==
R-503 was created by an artificer named Ailmar Rivleam sometime before The War of the Forged for his seven-year-old daughter, Daena, who has been in a depressive state since his mother’s death. The creation process took around two years to complete. His purpose was to be a companion to Daena and help her overcome her mother’s death. He was not built with the knowledge of fighting or being a soldier.

==History==

=== The beginning (722 PR)===
Unlike many warforged, R-503 was not made to be a killing machine. He began his life with one goal.

“This is Daena. You are to be her companion, which means you must be kind to her, keep her safe, and make her happy.”

The first time he met Daena was underwhelming; she was consumed by her grief to care. (Years later, she would tell Radion she was not impressed since she thought him a golem, but he knows better.) After some time, she began to acclimate to his constant presence in her life. But what made them really connect was when Daena discovered that R-503 was but a child that did not know much in the world, and she, nine at the time, was most confident in her knowledge of the world.

Everything that makes Radion what he is today was given to him by Daena. His name, his personality, and his love for art.

*''“I told you, it’s R-503. It is not short for anything.” ''
*''“But it can be! I can’t just call you R-503; it’s too long. How about I choose something?” ''
*''“Sure.” ''
*''“Raco-” “Other than Raccoon, be creative.” ''
*''“Ugh, no fun... How about Radion?”''

===Teenage years (723-730 PR)===
During Daena’s teenage years, Ailmar was the same father as always. He still found it challenging to connect with his daughter and did not let go of the grief and guilt of his wife’s death. He also did not bother with R-503 unless it was monthly maintenance. But Daena’s relationship with Radion continued to strengthen. She always referred to him as her overprotective brother; it could be older or younger, depending on the day/situation.

Given Daena’s curious nature, she would usually hyper-fixate on something, whether swimming, hunting, or dancing, and always drag Radion with her. The last of her hyper fixation was on sparring. She would tease Radion about how bad he is at it.

* ''“Come one! You’re a warforged; shouldn’t you be better than this?” ''
*''“I was built for a different purpose, you know this. And you are not any better than me.”''

===The Night (730 PR) ===
Around 730 PR, the tension in Sneerwell was heightened. News of the warforged protesting their rights in Isonhound was spreading, and the possibility of a protest happening in the city kept everyone on edge. Radion could no longer go out with Daena to the city without being harassed by common people. The protests did start at Sneerwell, which led Ailmar to forbid R-503 from going outside or interacting with any warforged in the city. This angered Daena greatly; she was sympathetic to the cause of the warforged and would have a long conversation with Radion about how they should get their independence.

On the night of Dalsk 27, Ailmar, who was working overtime at Pendergras Industries to quell the warforged rebellion, returned to his estate to find it shambles. After a quick investigation, he found Daena bloodied and covered by Radion’s body, both unconscious. He tried to get help for Daena just to find out that she was no more. He was told that a Warforged rebellion had heard of the beginning of the War of the Forged and wanted to make a statement. And what better statement than to wreak havoc on the estate of a warforged engineer and a known oppressor?

R-503 remembers every detail of that night but does not like to recall these memories.

He remembers that it was a night like any other, with Daena and him lounging around the estate, reading the latest book that caught Daena’s fancy. He remembers hearing a loud hammering that made both of them jump. He remembers asking Daena to hide in her father’s dungeon/lab. He remembers investigating the noise to find a group of five warforged who just broke into the estate. He remembers trying to reason with them but to no avail. He remembers getting knocked out and accepting defeat; he was not built for war.

And he remembers his sister, the noise of the fight must have scared her, running to the fray to beg these bandits to stop, to take whatever they want but leave him alone. He remembers a disagreement that broke between the bandits; one saying to just kill her, the others saying it was not what they were tasked to do.

*''“NO! STOP, PLEASE! I know where my father keeps all his valuables; just leave him alone.”''
He remembers how she was killed, the rouge one grappling her and slicing her throat. He remembers it. He dreams of it often enough.

He remembers the rage he felt that day, how, in a second, he went from a begging, shouting mess asking for his sister to be left alone to standing over the last living warforged in the group.

*''“how how how she said it was going to be easy, she said the warforged was but a weak companion, how did you d-”''

What he also recalls was the aftermath. Being dragged by Ailmar to his lab, feeling Ailmar anger in his shouts. Being tinkered with to change from the warforged companion of Daena to the warforged soldier of revenge.

*''“They want their independence?! Let me show them what their '''own''' kind can do to '''them'''.”''

===The War of the Forged (730-7...?) ===
This is the time that R-503 does not remember at all. All he knew was to follow orders and kill as many warforged as possible. He was awake in his early years, just to slumber when every warforged awakened. He only remembers the hate from those who fought on his side, questioning every move he takes and demeaning every action he does not take.

And he remembers his final moments in that terrible war, the silence he did not know he wanted.

=== Wandering in Isonhound (800 PR - 837 PR) ===
Radi- R-503 woke up in a place so beautiful yet so dangerous. (He would later learn that it was the fey wild). He began to wander around, trying to survive while all the memories of the before and after finding purchase again in his mind.

He journeyed until he was able to reach Barrier Peaks, a place he knew to be near Sneerwell. He continued to travel since there was no Daena to call him back to Sneerwell. He did not know at what time he returned to his world. He only knew that he shut down in the climax of the War of the Forged, and now it’s done; no more war. He often thinks about what that warforged meant before he killed him. Who is "''she''", and why did she send those to kill him?

His journey took him around Isonhound; he visited city after city until he could not handle the similarities it had with Sneerwell and the memory that the place holds of Daena. He decided to travel to different continent but traveling by ship to a different continent is expensive.

R-503 tried a lot of jobs; he tried fishing, hunting, cooking... etc. He was not good, but he was okay. They also didn’t have much revenue, but he had patience and nothing to look forward to. After some time and many other jobs, he had the money to travel, so he traveled to Amusa, the land of the lost. A fitting name for what he is. Amusa was beautiful and big, but most importantly, it was different.

=== Wandering in Amusa, ===

=== Warukami, Drihaol (837 PR) ===
Radion first stop in Amusa was in the domain of Troveth. Troveth port town Warukami was a good place for him to busy himself. He first met someone called Yostrik Ironbrew, a dwarfish barkeep of the Drihaol tavern.

The first time Yostrik met Radion was when the latter came into town with a state that shows he has been traveling for multiple days with no rest; even with the knowledge that Radion is warforged with no need to eat, sleep, or get warm but this did not deter Yostrik from taking care of him. Yostrik invited him to the tavern and asked him to rest, and when Radion promised to repay the favor, the dwarf just nodded his head.

After multiple days of resting and gathering his energy, Radion asked the dwarf what he can do to help him, after some insistence the dwarf agreed to let the forged act as a bouncer for his tavern

* “Ah shit, if you insist on doing something, how about you use this metal body of yours and take care of any ruckus that happens in this tavern?

=== Wakurami, Dragontooth Arena (839 PR) ===
After a year or two of working as a bouncer for Yostrik in the Drihoal tavern, getting between fights and calming things down, Radion grabs the attention of a traveling group that came to place bets on the Dragontooth Arena fights. Dragontooth Arena was planning to host a huge tournament that would last for three months, talks of this tournament was circulating around Drihoal tavern but Radion did not think much of it.

The traveling group, calling themselves Timaeus, wanted to draft Radion into the tournament, telling him how he is built for it and will be able to win it, bringing riches to everyone involved. Radion refused at first, and even with their instance he continued to refuse. Yostrik, hearing this conversation, asked Radion to promise him never even think of fighting in a tournament.

* “Never accept these fuckers offer, they will suck you dry and then some more. They are greedy bastard with no care to life only profit. “

After Timaeus talked with Radion, the latter noticed the group hanging around the tavern, not talking to him, but just hanging around. A week before the tournament began Radion gets back from a walk around the town to see Yostrik beaten, blooded, and on the edge of death. ''It reminded him of losing his person.'' Getting to work, he grabbed Yostrik and healed him with a healing potion he had found in his journey and had been keeping, once he was sure Yostrik was okay, he began to look around trying to figure out what had happened. He found the following note.

''“You do not say no to Timaeus. We kept him alive, barely. If you do not want his death on your hands, come and find us on tournament ground.''

'''''You will fight for us.”'''''

Radion, riddled with guilt, makes up his mind and goes to check on Yostrik one last time. Yostrik, just waking up, notices Radion and begs him not to go, that it is not worth it.

* “This is my problem, you suffered enough just by knowing me.”

The trip to tournament ground was filled with flashbacks to that dreaded night in Sneerwell, flashbacks of the good Yostrik has done to Radion in the few years he knew him, how he was the first person to show Radion kindness since Daena’s death. He needed to avenge him, but first he got to play by their rules. After reaching Dragontooth Arena he finds the Timaeus groups and makes his way towards them, they looked smug and assured that he will comes. Once they noticed him, they broke into a grin.

* “You have finally decided to join us, I wonder what changed your mind!”

* Radion, seething with rage, “You will get what you want, and more than what you asked, let’s get started.”

=== Wakurami, Dragontooth Tournament (839 PR) ===
The Dragontooth tournament being held had three phases.

The first phase was an all-out fight between everyone in the tournament, it only stops when half of the fighters are down. Radion, not that smart of a guy, still worked in an army and knew how to handle this kind of situation. So, his plan was to wait it out. That worked for the first half of the fight, but he was noticed by a half orc fighter. The fighter, who Radion noticed to be working with a group who was antagonistic to Timaeus shouted to Radion,

* '''“THERE HE IS!!! THE NEW TOY OF TIMAEUS. COME HERE!!! LET ME SHOW YOU HOW ITS DONE.”'''

Both were huge fighters and specialized in melee. The half orc jumped on Radion, trying to take him out quickly and smoothly. But Radion sturdy metal body was able to withhold the attacks. Radion used a battle axe to swing at the half orc head, hitting him doing a decent amount of damage. They traded blows for a while until Radion, a raging barbarian with a lot of experience, was able to knock him out. Radion has passed his first trial.

-

The second phase was where Radion might have suffered; this phase required winning a dual by only landing a long-range attack. Radion was paired with a spell caster. Before the match Timaeus tried to change the pairing to another melee fighter, knowing that Radion probability of winning this dual is close to nothing. At the beginning of the fight, no one was paying mind, and everyone assumed the caster finish Radion in one go, but in a wicked twist of fate, the caster was poison focused, who only knew spells that do poison damage. Radion warforged body resisted any poison damage and it was impossible to poison him. After a quick show of her spell casting abilities, the caster was knocked out. Radion has passed his second trial.

-

Everyone was now interested in this warforged fighter who managed to win against the worst of odds, bets started to come in and people finally believed he might have a chance to when this, which excited those in Timaeus. But there were still some doubts, the final phase was yet to come.

-

The third and final phase of the tournament was a single-elimination tournament, with only 16 finalists to fight. The first round of elimination was easy on Radion, he was paired with a ranger who had no hope of winning once the barbarian was in melee. The quarterfinal was against a monk who proved to be a bit of a challenge, but Radion managed to knock him up just barely.

The semi final was against a caster who learned from Radion second phase fight and came prepared, the only reason Radion was able to triumph over her was because of the lightening resistance potion Timaeus gave to him.

Thus, here comes the final. Radion has been hearing of another barbarian who kills whoever hes against, and if not for the clerics in standby more than a dozen would be dead. Determined to take this savage down, the warforged set up a plan with the help of Timaeus. The fight, which was supposed to be with fistfight, came to end with Radion on top, the other barbarian didn't get a chance to rage.

==Letters to Dae==

======1======
I have been wandering the continent of Isonhound for I don't know how many days? Weeks? Months? And I always debate if I should return to your father, my maker, to check his existence and well-being. But my resentment against him for being so careless of what he says is stronger. If he had just kept his mouth shut, none of this would have happened; if I had been faster, stronger, and built for war, you would not be gone. Leaving me alone to chart the world. I often ask myself if my hatred for Ailmar stems from the need to share this guilt with someone.

======2======
I just learned that it is the year of 788. I have been slumbering for half a decade. The warforged now has their own independence. They are a race like any other race. I don't know how I feel about that. I never wrote what happened after your death. I have fought in the war and not on the side you would expect.

I haven't written for you mainly for one reason; I was the Villain in the story. And Daena, I can't have you see me as a villain; your judgment is the only judgment I care about.

But yeah... I missed the war's end, and 50 years after, I'm still trying to understand its outcome.

======3======
It's the year of 800! You would have been turning 87 in a new era. I've been doing all sorts of jobs to get by. Hunting, cooking, fishing- Someone offered to employ me as a bodyguard. That was amusing'', I'm no protector.''

======4======
It's 866, and I grow tired of Isonhound. I have done everything imaginable, and I'm starting to feel weary. Tales of my jobs may have reached some people. People who want to exact revenge. It could have reached Ailmar; to finally hear of my survival, he would likely want to claim me back. But I was never his. I always was your brother and only that.

Been hearing of a sky-ship that can ferry me across the skies to the continent of Amusa; I might just do that.

======5======
Amusa is different, and as someone who doesn't like changes, you would have thought I'd hate it, but no. I actually like it here.

Everything is new, with no ghosts to haunt me.

====== 6 ======
I met a dwarf who cared for me deeply, but my care for him showed and a band of thugs wounded him to get to me. What happened to Yostrik is my fault. I shouldn't get closer to people, I am a magnet to danger and no one should suffer because of me. I will take care of them once I grew stronger, with their help.

======7======
I've been hearing of an expedition company led by two brothers. I may go and become a member. It is a weird choice for me, I know. But I have been feeling the anger for decades. I fear it will consume me. And I don't want to kill and wreak havoc on innocents for no reason. I just need a simple goal with clear instructions to follow.

Daena, it's been getting harder and harder, and time has not done anything to ease this... whatever ''this'' is.

======8======
I did my first mission with the expedition and may have acted foolishly. See, Daena, I'm not a strategist I am a muscle. I get pointed in a direction with clear orders and follow them as best as possible.

The first mission we were tasked to do was to look for a dead dragon treasure inside a mountain. My companions seemed powerful, which was assuring. While walking through the forest near the mountain, I noticed the magic around us may cause illusions; but even with this information when I saw you standing there with your nine-year-old visage. I had to run towards you. Daena, I have a lot of memories of you, but I still fear forgetting your face and your voice.

After fighting, whatever the treasures we found turned into a hole that led to the 'dead' Dragon. He promised me you, but I know you were gone. What happened in the forest was a weakness. ''I don't even know why I continue writing to you.''

We refused the Dragon's offers, and most of us fled. I was going to escape, but a caster stayed behind. And I guess the instructions from my… masters stuck around. ''I am cannon fodder; I must protect the caster.'' I don't like this reasoning. I know I said I'm not a protector, but I'd rather have the urge to protect just because I wanted to, not because of what the war turned me into.

So here's me swearing to you, as long as I have yet to live, I will ''always'' choose to ''protect'' and keep everyone safe; as long as they are not hostile, they have nothing to fear from me.

======9======
I met a warforged on my second mission; he was blaming me for what I did in the war; that I betrayed 'our' kind. I must say, I was surprised to be recognized. I told them I was used like many of our kind was. ''I don't know if I even I believe that.'' I was filled with hate and rage against the forged, they took you away from me. I wanted to hurt them even though I knew it wasn’t right.

I know I wasn’t in control, but I did not fight any command given by Ailmar.

====== 10 ======
Third mission! Yes, I know.. even I’m surprised I stuck out this long. But I’m doing good Daena! We went to an underground colony filled with gnolls. They were building war machine; connecting their bodies to warforged parts, things I have not seen since the war.

They even had prisoners for “food.” We saved those prisoners; it was the first time in awhile where I ever felt like I was truly protecting for the sole purpose of protecting. That place... It was disgusting and our group knew to sabotage it.

I must continue my work here. I don’t know if protecting is truly my purpose but if it feels me with so much… joy, I must pursue it further.

Daena, I never even hoped to dream of making you proud of me, but this? This may actually work.

======11======
Just when I was looking up to my work here...

Remember the gnolls' colony I told you about? how we destroyed it? Well, it was because of that that Lorrie, a comrade I met in my first mission, lost her entire group. They were ambushed by the gnolls as an act of desperation. I know what we did was right, but it still had consequence, I think I need to learn to be ready for them; or at least never do something unless I am accepting of any bad outcome it may bring.

Our mission was to retrieve a cargo that the gnolls took from Lorrie. We lost someone on this mission, he had a weird power like mine, but more chaotic. I manged to salvage a necklace out of their remains; I did not know them, but I will honor them. During the battle, I had to pull someone to safety and in a flash I swear I saw you instead of them, what a young adult you would look like.

You would have been 180. I keep thinking on what path you would have taken, would you pursue your love of reading and grow to be an artificer like your father? would you return to the fling you had for combat and be a fighter? or would you have developed a skill for arcane magic like your mother? Lots of questions that I will never know the answer to.

I know you wouldn't approve, but I acquired a scroll of sending and I am tempted to check on your father.

''*scouting mission for July*''

<nowiki>*</nowiki>my guilt led me to scouting this past few days. I don't know yet if I found anything interesting.*

<nowiki>*</nowiki>session recap*

==Relationships ==

===Daena Rivleam ===
Daena was Radion’s only friend. He grew up with her. He learned everything from her. He loved her, considered her a sister, and was set to do everything to make her happy. Daena was kind, mischievous, and had a love for art. She was the only one then to call Radion by his name. And he learned to nickname her Dae after some time. They would do everything together; all their waking moments they had together.

Radion knew Daena since she was 9 years old until her death at the age of seventeen. He misses her all the time; sees her in everyone he meets.

=== Ahriman Zestari ===
TBW

===Ailmar Rivleam ===
His maker. Alimar Rivleam was a strict master and a father. He greatly loved his daughter, but that could not translate well to her. The only thing that he knew to do well was to make things that fix things.

He considers his first failure in his life to be that he could not figure out how to cure his wife. After his wife’s death, he could not figure out how to cheer up his daughter, Daena. Daena had just turned seven when his wife died, and she always had a great fascination for golems.

That is why Ailmar started working on a warforged machine that could accompany his daughter everywhere in an attempt to cheer her up. His creation process for this warforged took a lot of trials and errors. The definitive version of the warforged, which he gifted to his daughter on her ninth birthday, was code-named R-503. Ailmar has the resources needed for this creation because of his work in the Pendergras Industries.

From his perspective, his second failure was that he could not keep his daughter safe.

=== Yostrik Ironbrew ===
Yostrik Ironbrew was an old dwarf with a loud personality but a kind heart. Radion's first re-introduction to kindness in the name of kindness. He was loud, funny, and swore a lot; but he was also wise, he knew when Radion was thinking about his life of before, and he would try to busy him; sending him out on wild quests with no clear goals, this used to frustrate Radion.

Yostrik was the first person ever to learn about Radion's past, Radion talked about Daena the most with him, telling him about his hobbies and how she can never pick one. He told him about what happened to her, how she died and what Radion had to do to avenge her. Yostrik, a father with two, could understand how huge of a loss this is. He Made Radion a necklace with a portrait of Daena to keep on his person.

He is the reason why Radion is not open to people.

==Personality==
Radion is reserved. he does not interact with people unless they seek him out; he refuses to get attached to anyone. He keeps away from crowded places. He is primarily neutral and does not hurt anyone unless they prove to be an obstacle to his objective. He swore to always be a protector, for he tries to keep anyone on a mission with him away from danger; this may be out of habit from the war since he was cannon fodder for magic users or his way of attuning to the one time he didn’t protect the one that means the most to him.

''AN; hes an angsty little guy''

==Languages==
Common and Elvish, and un-named language that Daena invented when she was 12 which he continuously questioned. He switches between formal and informal speech.

==Powers and Abilities==
His second awakening happened in the fey wild, where wild magic is all around. He woke up with the ability to channel his rage into wild magic. He is proficient with strength weapons and can hold his own in combat. After some work with the company Radion's power evolved; now he can channel his magic to resist certain type of damage, he can also infuse these types into his weapon to deal extra elemental damage.

==Weapons ==
He carries his trusted great axe, 4 javelins he may have stolen on the road, and two hand axes for emergencies.

'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a warforged, path of wild magic, barbarian.

==Physical Appearance==
A 190-tall metal-looking humanoid. Radion has hallowed eyes that would look disturbing if no bright light came out of it.

He only wears pants, a loincloth, and a hood, so you can see the metal design of his body. Weirdly his core does not show. It may be covered by a hood. He does not wear shoes on principles.

His metal body is of steel blue color. He wears a purple hood that matches his loincloth; the hood is held by sphere looking pin. He has a pair of greenish-gray trousers and is usually seen with his axe that fits his blue metal body. He has a necklace that dangles on his belt.

==Creation==
R-503 was created by an artificer named Ailmar Rivleam sometime before The War of the Forged for his seven-year-old daughter, Daena, who has been in a depressive state since his mother’s death. The creation process took around two years to complete. His purpose was to be a companion to Daena and help her overcome her mother’s death. He was not built with the knowledge of fighting or being a soldier.

==History==

=== The beginning (722 PR)===
Unlike many warforged, R-503 was not made to be a killing machine. He began his life with one goal.

“This is Daena. You are to be her companion, which means you must be kind to her, keep her safe, and make her happy.”

The first time he met Daena was underwhelming; she was consumed by her grief to care. (Years later, she would tell Radion she was not impressed since she thought him a golem, but he knows better.) After some time, she began to acclimate to his constant presence in her life. But what made them really connect was when Daena discovered that R-503 was but a child that did not know much in the world, and she, nine at the time, was most confident in her knowledge of the world.

Everything that makes Radion what he is today was given to him by Daena. His name, his personality, and his love for art.

*''“I told you, it’s R-503. It is not short for anything.” ''
*''“But it can be! I can’t just call you R-503; it’s too long. How about I choose something?” ''
*''“Sure.” ''
*''“Raco-” “Other than Raccoon, be creative.” ''
*''“Ugh, no fun... How about Radion?”''

===Teenage years (723-730 PR)===
During Daena’s teenage years, Ailmar was the same father as always. He still found it challenging to connect with his daughter and did not let go of the grief and guilt of his wife’s death. He also did not bother with R-503 unless it was monthly maintenance. But Daena’s relationship with Radion continued to strengthen. She always referred to him as her overprotective brother; it could be older or younger, depending on the day/situation.

Given Daena’s curious nature, she would usually hyper-fixate on something, whether swimming, hunting, or dancing, and always drag Radion with her. The last of her hyper fixation was on sparring. She would tease Radion about how bad he is at it.

* ''“Come one! You’re a warforged; shouldn’t you be better than this?” ''
*''“I was built for a different purpose, you know this. And you are not any better than me.”''

===The Night (730 PR) ===
Around 730 PR, the tension in Sneerwell was heightened. News of the warforged protesting their rights in Isonhound was spreading, and the possibility of a protest happening in the city kept everyone on edge. Radion could no longer go out with Daena to the city without being harassed by common people. The protests did start at Sneerwell, which led Ailmar to forbid R-503 from going outside or interacting with any warforged in the city. This angered Daena greatly; she was sympathetic to the cause of the warforged and would have a long conversation with Radion about how they should get their independence.

On the night of Dalsk 27, Ailmar, who was working overtime at Pendergras Industries to quell the warforged rebellion, returned to his estate to find it shambles. After a quick investigation, he found Daena bloodied and covered by Radion’s body, both unconscious. He tried to get help for Daena just to find out that she was no more. He was told that a Warforged rebellion had heard of the beginning of the War of the Forged and wanted to make a statement. And what better statement than to wreak havoc on the estate of a warforged engineer and a known oppressor?

R-503 remembers every detail of that night but does not like to recall these memories.

He remembers that it was a night like any other, with Daena and him lounging around the estate, reading the latest book that caught Daena’s fancy. He remembers hearing a loud hammering that made both of them jump. He remembers asking Daena to hide in her father’s dungeon/lab. He remembers investigating the noise to find a group of five warforged who just broke into the estate. He remembers trying to reason with them but to no avail. He remembers getting knocked out and accepting defeat; he was not built for war.

And he remembers his sister, the noise of the fight must have scared her, running to the fray to beg these bandits to stop, to take whatever they want but leave him alone. He remembers a disagreement that broke between the bandits; one saying to just kill her, the others saying it was not what they were tasked to do.

*''“NO! STOP, PLEASE! I know where my father keeps all his valuables; just leave him alone.”''
He remembers how she was killed, the rouge one grappling her and slicing her throat. He remembers it. He dreams of it often enough.

He remembers the rage he felt that day, how, in a second, he went from a begging, shouting mess asking for his sister to be left alone to standing over the last living warforged in the group.

*''“how how how she said it was going to be easy, she said the warforged was but a weak companion, how did you d-”''

What he also recalls was the aftermath. Being dragged by Ailmar to his lab, feeling Ailmar anger in his shouts. Being tinkered with to change from the warforged companion of Daena to the warforged soldier of revenge.

*''“They want their independence?! Let me show them what their '''own''' kind can do to '''them'''.”''

===The War of the Forged (730-7...?) ===
This is the time that R-503 does not remember at all. All he knew was to follow orders and kill as many warforged as possible. He was awake in his early years, just to slumber when every warforged awakened. He only remembers the hate from those who fought on his side, questioning every move he takes and demeaning every action he does not take.

And he remembers his final moments in that terrible war, the silence he did not know he wanted.

=== Wandering (…? - 893 PR) ===
Radi- R-503 woke up in a place so beautiful yet so dangerous. (He would later learn that it was the fey wild). He began to wander around, trying to survive while all the memories of the before and after finding purchase again in his mind.

He journeyed until he was able to reach Barrier Peaks, a place he knew to be near Sneerwell. He continued to travel since there was no Daena to call him back to Sneerwell. He did not know at what time he returned to his world. He only knew that he shut down in the climax of the War of the Forged, and now it’s done; no more war. He often thinks about what that warforged meant before he killed him, but he does not have it in him to seek reveange; Daena is gone.

His journey took him around Isonhound; he visited city after city until he could not handle the similarities it had with Steerwell and the memory that the place holds of Daena. He decided to travel to different continents. Airships at that time were common but expensive, leading him to work for money.

R-503 tried a lot of jobs; he tried fishing, hunting, cooking... etc. He was not good, but he was okay. They also didn’t have much revenue, but he had patience and nothing to look forward to. After some time and many other jobs, he had the money to travel, so he traveled to Amusa, the land of the lost. A fitting name for what he is. Amusa was beautiful and big, but most importantly, it was different.

After more wandering, he learned about Tempest Brothers Expeditionary Company. Intrigued by the cause and sick of meaningless wandering, he set out to Galik to join.

==Letters to Dae==

======1======
I have been wandering the continent of Isonhound for I don't know how many days? Weeks? Months? And I always debate if I should return to your father, my maker, to check his existence and well-being. But my resentment against him for being so careless of what he says is stronger. If he had just kept his mouth shut, none of this would have happened; if I had been faster, stronger, and built for war, you would not be gone. Leaving me alone to chart the world. I often ask myself if my hatred for Ailmar stems from the need to share this guilt with someone.

======2======
I just learned that it is the year of 788. I have been slumbering for half a decade. The warforged now has their own independence. They are a race like any other race. I don't know how I feel about that. I never wrote what happened after your death. I have fought in the war and not on the side you would expect.

I haven't written for you mainly for one reason; I was the Villain in the story. And Daena, I can't have you see me as a villain; your judgment is the only judgment I care about.

But yeah... I missed the war's end, and 50 years after, I'm still trying to understand its outcome.

======3======
It's the year of 800! You would have been turning 87 in a new era. I've been doing all sorts of jobs to get by. Hunting, cooking, fishing- Someone offered to employ me as a bodyguard. That was amusing'', I'm no protector.''

======4======
It's 866, and I grow tired of Isonhound. I have done everything imaginable, and I'm starting to feel weary. Tales of my jobs may have reached some people. People who want to exact revenge. It could have reached Ailmar; to finally hear of my survival, he would likely want to claim me back. But I was never his. I always was your brother and only that.

Been hearing of a sky-ship that can ferry me across the skies to the continent of Amusa; I might just do that.

======5======
Amusa is different, and as someone who doesn't like changes, you would have thought I'd hate it, but no. I actually like it here.

Everything is new, with no ghosts to haunt me.

======6======
I've been hearing of an expedition company led by two brothers. I may go and become a member. It is a weird choice for me, I know. But I have been feeling the anger for decades. I fear it will consume me. And I don't want to kill and wreak havoc on innocents for no reason. I just need a simple goal with clear instructions to follow.

Daena, it's been getting harder and harder, and time has not done anything to ease this... whatever ''this'' is.

======7======
I did my first mission with the expedition and may have acted foolishly. See, Daena, I'm not a strategist I am a muscle. I get pointed in a direction with clear orders and follow them as best as possible.

The first mission we were tasked to do was to look for a dead dragon treasure inside a mountain. My companions seemed powerful, which was assuring. While walking through the forest near the mountain, I noticed the magic around us may cause illusions; but even with this information when I saw you standing there with your nine-year-old visage. I had to run towards you. Daena, I have a lot of memories of you, but I still fear forgetting your face and your voice.

After fighting, whatever the treasures we found turned into a hole that led to the 'dead' Dragon. He promised me you, but I know you were gone. What happened in the forest was a weakness. ''I don't even know why I continue writing to you.''

We refused the Dragon's offers, and most of us fled. I was going to escape, but a caster stayed behind. And I guess the instructions from my… masters stuck around. ''I am cannon fodder; I must protect the caster.'' I don't like this reasoning. I know I said I'm not a protector, but I'd rather have the urge to protect just because I wanted to, not because of what the war turned me into.

So here's me swearing to you, as long as I have yet to live, I will ''always'' choose to ''protect'' and keep everyone safe; as long as they are not hostile, they have nothing to fear from me.

======8======
I met a warforged on my second mission; he was blaming me for what I did in the war; that I betrayed 'our' kind. I must say, I was surprised to be recognized. I told them I was used like many of our kind was. ''I don't know if I even I believe that.'' I was filled with hate and rage against the forged, they took you away from me. I wanted to hurt them even though I knew it wasn’t right.

I know I wasn’t in control, but I did not fight any command given by Ailmar.

====== 9 ======
Third mission! Yes, I know.. even I’m surprised I stuck out this long. But I’m doing good Daena! We went to an underground colony filled with gnolls. They were building war machine; connecting their bodies to warforged parts, things I have not seen since the war.

They even had prisoners for “food.” We saved those prisoners; it was the first time in awhile where I ever felt like I was truly protecting for the sole purpose of protecting. That place... It was disgusting and our group knew to sabotage it.

I must continue my work here. I don’t know if protecting is truly my purpose but if it feels me with so much… joy, I must pursue it further.

Daena, I never even hoped to dream of making you proud of me, but this? This may actually work.

======10======
Just when I was looking up to my work here...

Remember the gnolls' colony I told you about? how we destroyed it? Well, it was because of that that Lorrie, a comrade I met in my first mission, lost her entire group. They were ambushed by the gnolls as an act of desperation. I know what we did was right, but it still had consequence, I think I need to learn to be ready for them; or at least never do something unless I am accepting of any bad outcome it may bring.

Our mission was to retrieve a cargo that the gnolls took from Lorrie. We lost someone on this mission, he had a weird power like mine, but more chaotic. I manged to salvage a necklace out of their remains; I did not know them, but I will honor them. During the battle, I had to pull someone to safety and in a flash I swear I saw you instead of them, what a young adult you would look like.

You would have been 180. I keep thinking on what path you would have taken, would you pursue your love of reading and grow to be an artificer like your father? would you return to the fling you had for combat and be a fighter? or would you have developed a skill for arcane magic like your mother? Lots of questions that I will never know the answer to.

I know you wouldn't approve, but I acquired a scroll of sending and I am tempted to check on your father.

====== 11 ======
''*scouting mission for July*''

<nowiki>*</nowiki>My guilt led me to scouting this past few days. I don't know yet if I found anything interesting.*

==Relationships ==

===Daena Rivleam ===
Daena was Radion’s only friend. He grew up with her. He learned everything from her. He loved her, considered her a sister, and was set to do everything to make her happy. Daena was kind, mischievous, and had a love for art. She was the only one then to call Radion by his name. And he learned to nickname her Dae after some time. They would do everything together; all their waking moments they had together.

Radion knew Daena since she was 9 years old until her death at the age of seventeen. He misses her all the time; sees her in everyone he meets.

===Ailmar Rivleam ===
His maker. Alimar Rivleam was a strict master and a father. He greatly loved his daughter, but that could not translate well to her. The only thing that he knew to do well was to make things that fix things.

He considers his first failure in his life to be that he could not figure out how to cure his wife. After his wife’s death, he could not figure out how to cheer up his daughter, Daena. Daena had just turned seven when his wife died, and she always had a great fascination for golems.

That is why Ailmar started working on a warforged machine that could accompany his daughter everywhere in an attempt to cheer her up. His creation process for this warforged took a lot of trials and errors. The definitive version of the warforged, which he gifted to his daughter on her ninth birthday, was code-named R-503. Ailmar has the resources needed for this creation because of his work in the Pendergras Industries.

From his perspective, his second failure was that he could not keep his daughter safe.

==Personality==
Radion is reserved. he does not interact with people unless they seek him out; he refuses to get attached to anyone. He keeps away from crowded places. He is primarily neutral and does not hurt anyone unless they prove to be an obstacle to his objective. He swore to always be a protector, for he tries to keep anyone on a mission with him away from danger; this may be out of habit from the war since he was cannon fodder for magic users or his way of attuning to the one time he didn’t protect the one that means the most to him.

''AN; hes an angsty little guy''

==Languages==
Common and Elvish, and un-named language that Daena invented when she was 12 which he continuously questioned. He switches between formal and informal speech.

==Powers and Abilities==
His second awakening happened in the fey wild, where wild magic is all around. He woke up with the ability to channel his rage into wild magic. He is proficient with strength weapons and can hold his own in combat. After some work with the company Radion's power evolved; now he can channel his magic to resist certain type of damage, he can also infuse these types into his weapon to deal extra elemental damage.

==Weapons ==
He carries his trusted great axe, 4 javelins he may have stolen on the road, and two hand axes for emergencies.

Radion The Forged

{{Infobox_character|name=Radion (R-503)|image=RadionArt1.png|caption=Radion the Forged (art by @ Mika95B on twt)|relatives=Daena Rivleam, Ailmar|languages=Elvish, Common|birthPlace=Sneerwell|species=Warforged|height=190 cm|weight=300 lb|eyes=Yellow Light}}
'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a warforged, path of wild magic, barbarian.

==Physical Appearance==
A 190-tall metal-looking humanoid. Radion has hallowed eyes that would look disturbing if no bright light came out of it.

He only wears pants, a loincloth, and a hood, so you can see the metal design of his body. Weirdly his core does not show. It may be covered by a hood. He does not wear shoes on principles.

His metal body is of steel blue color. He wears a purple hood that matches his loincloth; the hood is held by sphere looking pin. He has a pair of greenish-gray trousers and is usually seen with his axe that fits his blue metal body. He has a necklace that dangles on his belt.

==Creation==
R-503 was created by an artificer named Ailmar Rivleam sometime before The War of the Forged for his seven-year-old daughter, Daena, who has been in a depressive state since his mother’s death. The creation process took around two years to complete. His purpose was to be a companion to Daena and help her overcome her mother’s death. He was not built with the knowledge of fighting or being a soldier.

==History==

=== The beginning (722 PR) ===
Unlike many warforged, R-503 was not made to be a killing machine. He began his life with one goal.

“This is Daena. You are to be her companion, which means you must be kind to her, keep her safe, and make her happy.”

The first time he met Daena was underwhelming; she was consumed by her grief to care. (Years later, she would tell Radion she was not impressed since she thought him a golem, but he knows better.) After some time, she began to acclimate to his constant presence in her life. But what made them really connect was when Daena discovered that R-503 was but a child that did not know much in the world, and she, nine at the time, was most confident in her knowledge of the world.

Everything that makes Radion what he is today was given to him by Daena. His name, his personality, and his love for art.

* ''“I told you, it’s R-503. It is not short for anything.” ''
* ''“But it can be! I can’t just call you R-503; it’s too long. How about I choose something?” ''
* ''“Sure.” ''
* ''“Raco-” “Other than Raccoon, be creative.” ''
* ''“Ugh, no fun... How about Radion?”''

=== Teenage years (723-730 PR) ===
During Daena’s teenage years, Ailmar was the same father as always. He still found it challenging to connect with his daughter and did not let go of the grief and guilt of his wife’s death. He also did not bother with R-503 unless it was monthly maintenance. But Daena’s relationship with Radion continued to strengthen. She always referred to him as her overprotective brother; it could be older or younger, depending on the day/situation.

Given Daena’s curious nature, she would usually hyper-fixate on something, whether swimming, hunting, or dancing, and always drag Radion with her. The last of her hyper fixation was on sparring. She would tease Radion about how bad he is at it.

* ''“Come one! You’re a warforged; shouldn’t you be better than this?” ''
* ''“I was built for a different purpose, you know this. And you are not any better than me.”''

=== The Night (730 PR) ===
Around 730 PR, the tension in Sneerwell was heightened. News of the warforged protesting their rights in Isonhound was spreading, and the possibility of a protest happening in the city kept everyone on edge. Radion could no longer go out with Daena to the city without being harassed by common people. The protests did start at Sneerwell, which led Ailmar to forbid R-503 from going outside or interacting with any warforged in the city. This angered Daena greatly; she was sympathetic to the cause of the warforged and would have a long conversation with Radion about how they should get their independence.

On the night of Dalsk 27, Ailmar, who was working overtime at Pendergras Industries to quell the warforged rebellion, returned to his estate to find it shambles. After a quick investigation, he found Daena bloodied and covered by Radion’s body, both unconscious. He tried to get help for Daena just to find out that she was no more. He was told that a Warforged rebellion had heard of the beginning of the War of the Forged and wanted to make a statement. And what better statement than to wreak havoc on the estate of a warforged engineer and a known oppressor?

R-503 remembers every detail of that night but does not like to recall these memories.

He remembers that it was a night like any other, with Daena and him lounging around the estate, reading the latest book that caught Daena’s fancy. He remembers hearing a loud hammering that made both of them jump. He remembers asking Daena to hide in her father’s dungeon/lab. He remembers investigating the noise to find a group of five warforged who just broke into the estate. He remembers trying to reason with them but to no avail. He remembers getting knocked out and accepting defeat; he was not built for war.

And he remembers his sister, the noise of the fight must have scared her, running to the fray to beg these bandits to stop, to take whatever they want but leave him alone. He remembers a disagreement that broke between the bandits; one saying to just kill her, the others saying it was not what they were tasked to do.

* ''“NO! STOP, PLEASE! I know where my father keeps all his valuables; just leave him alone.”''
He remembers how she was killed, the rouge one grappling her and slicing her throat. He remembers it. He dreams of it often enough.

He remembers the rage he felt that day, how, in a second, he went from a begging, shouting mess asking for his sister to be left alone to standing over the last living warforged in the group.

* ''“how how how she said it was going to be easy, she said the warforged was but a weak companion, how did you d-”''

What he also recalls was the aftermath. Being dragged by Ailmar to his lab, feeling Ailmar anger in his shouts. Being tinkered with to change from the warforged companion of Daena to the warforged soldier of revenge.

* ''“They want their independence?! Let me show them what their '''own''' kind can do to '''them'''.”''

=== The War of the Forged (730-7...?) ===
This is the time that R-503 does not remember at all. All he knew was to follow orders and kill as many warforged as possible. He was awake in his early years, just to slumber when every warforged awakened. He only remembers the hate from those who fought on his side, questioning every move he takes and demeaning every action he does not take.

And he remembers his final moments in that terrible war, the silence he did not know he wanted.

=== Wandering (…? - 893 PR) ===
Radi- R-503 woke up in a place so beautiful yet so dangerous. (He would later learn that it was the fey wild). He began to wander around, trying to survive while all the memories of the before and after finding purchase again in his mind.

He journeyed until he was able to reach Barrier Peaks, a place he knew to be near Sneerwell. He continued to travel since there was no Daena to call him back to Sneerwell. He did not know at what time he returned to his world. He only knew that he shut down in the climax of the War of the Forged, and now it’s done; no more war. He often thinks about what that warforged meant before he killed him, but he does not have it in him to seek reveange; Daena is gone.

His journey took him around Isonhound; he visited city after city until he could not handle the similarities it had with Steerwell and the memory that the place holds of Daena. He decided to travel to different continents. Airships at that time were common but expensive, leading him to work for money.

R-503 tried a lot of jobs; he tried fishing, hunting, cooking... etc. He was not good, but he was okay. They also didn’t have much revenue, but he had patience and nothing to look forward to. After some time and many other jobs, he had the money to travel, so he traveled to Amusa, the land of the lost. A fitting name for what he is. Amusa was beautiful and big, but most importantly, it was different.

After more wandering, he learned about Tempest Brothers Expeditionary Company. Intrigued by the cause and sick of meaningless wandering, he set out to Galik to join.

== Letters to Dae ==

====== 1 ======
I have been wandering the continent of Isonhound for I don't know how many days? Weeks? Months? And I always debate if I should return to your father, my maker, to check his existence and well-being. But my resentment against him for being so careless of what he says is stronger. If he had just kept his mouth shut, none of this would have happened; if I had been faster, stronger, and built for war, you would not be gone. Leaving me alone to chart the world. I often ask myself if my hatred for Ailmar stems from the need to share this guilt with someone.

====== 2 ======
I just learned that it is the year of 788. I have been slumbering for almost a decade. The warforged now has their own independence. They are a race like any other race. I don't know how I feel about that. I never wrote what happened after your death. I have fought in the war and not on the side you would expect.

I haven't written for you mainly for one reason; I was the Villain in the story. And Daena, I can't have you see me as a villain; your judgment is the only judgment I care about.

But yeah... I missed the war's end, and 50 years after, I'm still grasping at the outcome.

====== 3 ======
It's the year of 800! You would have been turning 87 in a new era; imagine you, a young adult. I've been doing all sorts of jobs to get by. Hunting, cooking, fishing- Someone offered to employ me as a bodyguard; it actually made me. ''I'm no protector.''

====== 4 ======
It's 866, and I grew tired of Isonhound. I have done everything imaginable, and I'm starting to feel weary. Tales of my jobs may have reached some people. People who want to exact revenge. It could have reached Ailmar; to finally hear of my survival, he would likely want to claim me back. But I was never his. I always was your brother and only that.

Been hearing of a sky-ship that can ferry me across the skies to the continent of Asuma; I might just do that.

====== 5 ======
Amusa is different, and as someone who doesn't like the changes, you would have thought I'd hate it, but no. I actually like it here.

Everything is new, with no ghosts to haunt me.

====== 6 ======
I've been hearing of an expedition company led by two brothers. I may go and become a member. It is a weird choice for me, I know. But I have been feeling the anger for decades. I fear it will consume me. And I don't want to kill and wreak havoc on innocents for no reason. I just need a simple goal with clear instructions to follow.

Oh, Daena, it's been getting harder and harder, and time has not done anything to ease this... whatever THIS is.

====== 7 ======
I did my first mission with the expedition and may have acted foolishly. See, Daena, I'm not a strategist but a muscle. I get pointed in a direction with clear orders and follow them as best as possible.

The first mission we were tasked to do was to look for a dead dragon treasure inside a mountain. My companions seemed powerful, which was assuring.

''I am cannon fodder; I must protect the caster.'' I don't like this reasoning. I know I said I'm not a protector, but I'd rather have the urge to protect just because I wanted to, not because of what the war turned me into.

So here's me swearing to you, as long as I have yet to live, I will '''always''' choose to '''protect''' and keep everyone safe; as long as they are not hostile, they have nothing to fear from me.

This is the time that R-503 does not remember at all. All he knew was to follow orders and kill as many warforged as possible. He was awake in his early years, just to slumber when every warforged awakened. He only remembers the hate from those who fought on his side, questioning every move he takes and demeaning every action he does not take.

And he remembers his final moments in that terrible war, the silence he missed.

=== Wandering (…? - 893 PR) ===
Radi- R-503 woke up in a place so beautiful yet so dangerous. (He would later learn that it was the fey wild). He began to wander around, trying to survive while all the memories of the before and after finding purchase again in his mind.

He journeyed until he was able to reach Barrier Peaks, a place he knew to be near Sneerwell. He continued to travel since there was no Daena to call him back to Sneerwell. He did not know at what time he returned to his world. He only knew that he shut down in the climax of the War of the Forged, and now it’s done; no more war.

His journey took him around Isonhound; he visited city after city until he could not handle the similarities it had with Steerwell and the memory that the place holds of Daena. He decided to travel to different continents. Airships at that time were common but expensive, leading him to work for money.

R-503 tried a lot of jobs; he tried fishing, hunting, cooking... etc. He was not good at these jobs, but he was okay. They also didn’t have much revenue, but he was patient with nothing to look forward to. After some time and many other jobs, he had the money to travel, so he traveled to Amusa, the land of the lost. A fitting name for what he is. Amusa was beautiful and big, but most importantly, it was different.

After more wandering, he learned about Tempest Brothers Expeditionary Company. Intrigued by the cause and sick of meaningless wandering, he set out to Galik to join.

== Relationships ==

=== Daena Rivleam ===
Daena was Radion’s only friend. He grew up with her. He learned everything from her. He loved her, considered her a sister, and was set to do everything to make her happy. Daena was kind, mischievous, and had a love for art. She was the only one then to call Radion by his name. And he learned to nickname her Dae after some time. They would do everything together; all their waking moments they had together.

Radion knew Daena since she was 9 years old until her death at the age of seventeen.

=== Ailmar Rivleam ===
His maker. Alimar Rivleam was a strict master and a father. He greatly loved his daughter, but that could not translate well to her. The only thing that he knew to do well was to make things that fix things.

He considers his first failure in his life to be that he could not figure out how to cure his wife. After his wife’s death, he could not figure out how to cheer up his daughter, Daena. Daena had just turned seven when his wife died, and she always had a great fascination for golems.

That is why Ailmar started working on a warforged machine that could accompany his daughter everywhere in an attempt to cheer her up. His creation process for this warforged took a lot of trials and errors. The definitive version of the warforged, which he gifted to his daughter on her ninth birthday, was code-named R-503. Ailmar has the resources needed for this creation because of his work in the Pendergras Industries.

From his perspective, his second failure was that he could not keep his daughter safe.

==Languages==
Common and Elvish, and un-named language that Daena invented when she was 12 which he continuously questioned.

==Powers and Abilities==
His second awakening happened in the fey wild, where wild magic is all around. He woke up with the ability to channel his rage into wild magic. After wandering the world for decades, he learned to get what he wanted with intimidation. He got good at handling animals for the fast pace he had to go through horses. He got wiser and has gotten better at survival.

==Weapons ==
He carries his trusted great axe, 4 javelins he may have stolen on the road, and two hand axes for emergencies.
