Character Backstories 1st Edit

Yo, Dudes

To comply with the project lead's request I'm uploading today's 1st edit of the character backstories, As I type I am in the process of writing the 2nd edits so some of the information will be out of date but this is mainly for reference and to bring the people who were absent up to date somewhat.

The Younger Sister

Name: Adelia Aeuhert
Height: 5ft 3in
Age: 27
Bloodtype: AB+
Weapon Names: “Aurelio” & “Voletta” (Daggers)

Story:

The second born into the Auhert family, Adelia is very smart to for her age and has an IQ around 200 points.
From birth she has spoilt by her older brother Sebastian who would do anything to keep her appeased and as a result of this she has become very demanding of her brother.
In one of her demands Adelia stated she wanted to also be trained in a weapon style like her brother but unlike him she wanted a style that makes her look enchanting and elegant as well as being lethal, to which Sebastian agrees to train her in an art of her choosing.
Deep down beneath the spoilt girl exterior she respects Sebastian because of his loyalty to her and their mother unlike Alexander who in her eyes is nothing more than a “Betrayer” for going along with their father’s way of thinking and denouncing them entirely
After the two left she noticed her brother was talking more in private with their mother, catching on that something wasn’t right she again demanded that her brother take her with him to one of these chats, though reluctant Sebastian accepted that she should know the truth and that nothing should be hidden away from her.
After learning the truth from her mother Adelia spent her days continuing her training and ordering her brother about, however she did have a new found respect and appreciation for her mother and swore to herself she would be like her.
It wasn’t until her mother passed that she really began to change, Adelia struggled to come to terms with the loss and in fact blamed Alexander for their mothers death.
But through her sadness she realized her brother was now the head of the family and would soon become the new wielder of “Agnedynestra”.
Suddenly life wasn’t so bad she began to contemplate how she could now use her brother’s influence as a means to get others to do things for her while also still having leverage on her brother. The concept was something that appealed to Adelia very much just as much as some other things she had been thinking about…

If the will stated that both parents needed to be dead before the sword is passed on then…

He had to die.

Without her brother knowing she organized and orchestrated a remorseless but successful attack that left her father dead, so now with both parents out the picture the sword could pass on to its rightful owner.

When the day came for her brother to acquire the sword she accompanied him to the family vault to watch him claim it as his own but like her brother she was also disgruntled when she found it wasn’t there.
No sword meant no control and no control meant no sword, growing more agitated by the second she ordered her brother to find the one responsible and retrieve the sword.
In the days after the theft she began to formulate how this theft was possible until one night while she was trying to sleep she worked it out, it had to be there was no one else…
Her thoughts proved to be correct after confirmation came from one of the guards who reported they saw a suspicious figure (More detail on attire needed) trying to escape the grounds into the night.
She rushed to her brother’s quarters to find him still trying to work out the problem at his desk.
She walked up behind her brother in a rare moment of affection hugged him.
She whispered something to him and suddenly everything fell back into place.
The control, her brothers, the sword they could all be hers…
With that she began to plan with Sebastian how they could get revenge and reclaim the sword and avenge the death of their mother.

The Main Character and Youngest Son

Name: Alexander “Alex” Aeuhert
Height: 6ft 2in
Age: 20
Bloodtype: O-
Weapon Name: Agnedynestra (2 Handed Greatsword)

Story

The youngest son of the great warrior Raphael Aeuhert, unlike his siblings Alexander grew up with his father and denounced the noble life of wealth and splendor in favor of training with his father since he didn’t want to ride the coat-tails of his father’s success instead opting to carve his own legacy and path.
This was noted by the other siblings who in turn had nothing really to do with him as a result since they were both closer to their mother.
It wasn’t until a fight between his parents occurred and his father ended up leaving that Alexander was forced to make a life changing decision, either stay with his siblings and mother or leave with his father. The decision was an easy one, Alexander knew that if he stayed he possibly would be pried upon and so he left with his father.
Over the next few years Alexander trained using his father’s style eventually becoming a formidable warrior like his father was.
However Raphael was unwell and with every passing the day life ebbed and flowed out of the once mighty warrior.
Sensing that the end was near Raphael called Alexander to tell him the truth about the sword and about the great task he had to undertake.

“My son, you will be the true wielder of Agnedynestra, the sword resonates with your soul unlike the others therefore you must steal it from them before it’s too late and it falls into the wrong hands”
Those words stuck with Alexander like a bad itch but he knew what needed to be done the question was when?
Then one night under the veil of darkness he returned home for the first time in years and while avoiding detection he successfully managed to steal the blade from the family vault.
Energy pulsed through Alexander as he grasped and held the hilt of the sword, now with the power that his father spoke of Alexander escaped into the night and became the new custodian of the blade Agnedynestra. Now all he needed to do was hold onto it even if it meant fighting his own family…
