Laxus Kerl, A History
Laxus Kerl is 38 human years old, which is assimar years is like 20.

It was a stormy night, thirty-eight years prior to our adventurers’ journey across the lands.

High in the mountains of Altenkönigsberg, a grown male Tiefling and a female Assimar are found. The lady is laid down, eyes closed as she tries to bear her pain as she gives birth; the Tiefling man comforts her as she does. After what seems like many hours to the lady, her child is finally birthed; a small Assimar boy. The Tiefling man holds up the child, looking at his bright face and then looking at the thundering skies above.

“His name shall be Laxus, after the light that broke through the heavens when he was born.”

Laxus’ parents wanted to live a peaceful, quiet life. His father was a Tiefling; he was noble with good intentions, but also rebellious like the rest of his kind. His mother was an Assimar; she was a clever, tricky lady who was very ambitious and would always find a way to get what she desired. Growing up, Laxus would come to take after his mother, as his father was often out working.

Laxus’ parents were immigrants to Altenkönigsberg. After leaving their past further south from Altenkönigsberg, they were trying to raise a family and a living in a new area. However, even after an entire year, the Kerl family was still struggling to make a decent living. His mother went into prostitution in her desperation. They were struggling so much that Laxus’ father eventually joined an organized criminal association known as Talem, where he worked as a loanshark for any poor soul who was unfortunate enough to come to the organization for money. Laxus’ family had a life of stress and danger, but what other choice did they have?

Laxus Kerl was born atop the mountains of Altenkönigsberg, during a stormy night. He was born into a middle class family. His father was a Tiefling, a rebellious yet noble man, and his mother was an assimar, she was a clever, conniving lady who would always find a way to get what she wanted and Laxus mostly took after her. They were coming home to Altenkönigsberg after emigrating from the south.

He was named Laxus after the light of the thunder and lightning that shined though and shook the heavens when he was born.

After living in Altenkönigsberg for one year, they were still barely able to make ends meet. FATHER worked all day, and when he came home, MOTHER would go out and whore herself in the streets, and they were not making much progress in the world. His father eventually had to join an organized crime gang known as the Talem, collecting money from those who were misfortunate enough to borrow from them. It was a stressful, dangerous life, but what other choice did they have?

Eventually, his father wanted to leave the Talem, but per their rules and regulations, once one enters the Talem, there they must stay till they do part, which FATHER found out only after joining. He went on the run, leaving MOTHER to take care of their toddler alone. But the Talem spreads wide, and they always catch their prey, MOTHER never knew what happened to her husband, but she assumed him dead. Even in her grief, the Talem would come to her and demand to take what little she had as payment for the sins of her husband, a debt that would clearly never be filled.

Each night she prayed that someday something would come and cleanse the city of their curse. Eventually when Laxus got older, the Talem made him work for them, sneaking into windows and small places to get into buildings the help them with their thievery and mischief and whatever gangs get up to. To make a long story short, he saw a lot of messed up stuff.

Years after that, his mother got sick (probably from something to do with he previous career), and was diving slowly. In her fever dreams she met a man in white who shared a striking resemblance to her late husband. Now, she was not an idiot, and knew that this was clearly a divine intervention. She was about to beg for her life, but she realized that she likely wouldn’t be seeing him unless she would never again regain consciousness (she was very self aware in her story). Instead, she thought of something better. She made a bargain with the divine entity, that she would give up her soul to it, under the condition that her son always be safe, forever and not only from the Talem, but to have the strength to get out of any trouble. The god obliged, and in exchange for MOTHER’s soul, granted Laxus an invocation of Thunder, and a charm of mica.

After Laxus’s mother died, the god had kept its word. The first time the Talem tried to bully Laxus into doing their dirty work,


 * Laxus gets trapped in a hut surrounded by bad guys
 * he does a big blast destroying the building and killing them all
 * he tries to get into a relationship with a lady
 * the lady dies from his shatter when he tries to protect her (its a curse and a gift)
 * he goes to his mothers grave and is about to kill himself
 * then a beautiful lady walks out form behind the tombstone (she i the god(dess) and she looks like his mother
 * she tells Laxus to stop, (because if he died because of her actions, her deal with his mother would be broken.
 * she makes a new deal with him, that she would give him alternate forms of power and teach him to use it in less destructive ways. in exchange, he says she can have his soul after he dies naturally.
 * while she teaches him the ways of the warlock, they fall in love.
 * they share each others secrets, he tells her about himself and his life with his mother, and she tells him the secrets of the cosmos.
 * she mentions to him that there are things that she wishes she could do in the real world but cannot.
 * he says hat he wants to give her more than just his soul. So with the knife his mother gave him, he cuts his hand and vows to help her and be her vessel in the physical plane. she begs him not to, for the consequences of breaking such a vow would be horrible. but he doesn’t listen, and she loves him for it.
