Alathaea · Apr 03, 2008, 11:42 PM // 23:42

Name: Alathaea Tlaloc
Age: 27
Nationality: Ascalonian, born within Deldrimor lands
_________

There have been a few who have speculated as to the origin of Alathaea's name. Although her looks are undoubtedly Ascalonian, her surname is kin to those of the Tarnished Coast, and even Alathaea is unsure entirely as to her origin. She knows that she was born on a Dwarven supply train on its way from Droknar's Forge to Beacon's Perch, and she knows that her mother was an outcast of her native Ascalon. But in whatever way, she grew up with her father, a Ranger, in the foothills of the Shiverpeak mountains.

Her father longed for adventure, though, and before long all that was left of him was a note on the kitchen table and some supplies to last the winter. Alathaea, stuck on the side of a whopping great mountain range with admittedly little keeping her there, found passage on yet another supply caravan, paying them with the services her bow could provide. And thus she arrived in Ascalon City, to meet with a known friend of her fathers; Warmaster Tydus. She joined the Ascalon Vanguard, and fought behind enemy lines throughout Ascalon - but soon it was time to flee the wrecked carcass of Ascalon and go to Kryta. It was there that the tyranny of the White Mantle was uncovered, and Alathaea fought within the depths of the Maguuma Jungle against their treachery. Trusting her life as her allies did to the hand of a strange and powerful man, she fled to the Crystal Desert, and sought Ascension.

Her Ascension was an interesting one, a fight between her spiritual and cynical personalities, which resulted in the end with a stronger whole. And then the Dragon Glint showed her the way to unlock her future. It was in Droknar's Forge that she found her fate - her mother, or the remains of her, in a Dwarven Graveyard to the west of the Ice Caves of Sorrow. Alathaea's fortitude was only stoked, and it was at this point that she decided to head abroad - to Cantha, a land terrorised by the evil Shiro Tagachi.

Alathaea had a respect for both Kurzicks and Luxons, but her curiosity lay in the direction of the Luxons, and so she walked the Jade Sea, adopting the garments of the Luxon armada in addition to the Druid raiments she had donned in the city of Droknar's Forge. But it was the Triple Shot of the Kurzick nation that was the proverbial needle in the pincushion of Shiro's fate.

So, Alathaea moved onto Elona, a nation ravaged by the Nightfall of a risen god, Abbadon. Alathaea, using the Signet of Capture technology of Lion's Arch such a long time ago, captured her signature Burning Arrow in the rocky outcrops of the Marga Coast. Leaving the Sunspears for a while with news from home of the effort against the White Mantle. The bond that she as a Ranger shared with Saidra was the fuel of much sorrow over the noble woman's sacrifice. And the slaying of Markis only partially sated her sorrow.

To the Ring of Fire, in which she struck down the Lich and calmed the Undead Prince Rurik to an eternity of peace. And then - to Elona, and the war against Abbadon. The Sunspears found refuge in Vabbi, a place Alathaea found beautiful, but profoundly uncomfortable. It was in the Dzagonur Bastion that she found a base of operations, but soon they charged into the lands of the Desolation, with the aid of Palawa Joko, Scourge of the Vabbian land of wealth they had just left. Pursuing the evil Varesh to the very mouth of Torment, they struck down her Dervish and Paragon Forms, and walked into the warp between our world and the endless night of Abbadon's Realm.

It was there that she, with the aid of her most powerful allies, and under the command of Kormir, slew the god Abbadon, and aided the ascension to godhood of Kormir, Goddess of Truth.

Even the destroyers have paled under the combined might of Asura, Norn, Charr and Ebon Vanguard, brought together, if with fragility, under the banner of the Dwarves, to drive the Great Destroyer from this land.

Now, she wanders the world, assisting ably with the adventures of others. She wishes for no ascension to the top of Rangerdom, but rather some excitement, and a leader to rally behind, bow in hand, ready to interrupt whichever elementalist gets in her way.

(Sorry this is so gargantuon, I got into it xD)

NOTE: This takes place in GWEN time
Starli Halfmoon
Starli is a ranger who has lived on her own since she was 15. Her family was killed by Kournans who were trying to take over Istan after the fall of Abaddon.
Starli had been out studying the art of the ranger and had returned to find her home in flames and her family dead inside. She fled for her life but is hell-bent on revenge. She has vowed to slay every single Kournan to avenge her family.
But the Kournans' numbers are great, so Starli doesn't stand a chance. As a result, she flees to Cantha and becomes an ally of the Luxons. Upon venturing to Mourning Veil Falls one day, she spots a white tiger and charms it. Later, she spots a Kurzick paragon named Graham Whitefire. He almost slays her, but stops and she flees.
The two later find each other as they engage in an alliance battle. But the two recognize each other and Starli spares Graham's life because he spared hers. The two secretly begin meeting in Pongmei Valley every day at noon. Eventually, they fall in love. But because their opposing factions would never understand, they resign from their positions and flee to Tyria. There, they reside in the Eye of the North and become married.

NOTE: This takes place in Guild Wars 2 time. This is based off my character Ardnek Mysticeyes but I changed the name for the story.

Princess Caria
Caria is a Vabbian princess (residing in the Halls of Chokhin) who is the reincarnation of Tender Wolf. She desires to fight for her people but such dedication and action is forbidden for the royals.
But when Caria turned 13, a bow magically appeared in her bedroom as she slept and she began practicing with it. Her father forbade her to do so, so her studies and practices were done privately.
On her 18th birthday, Caria and the two other princesses (Trita of Resplendent Makuun and Faya of Dzagonur Bastion) was to be wed and become queen. But Caria never believed in arranged marriages, and finally spoke out at the event.
But at that moment, hordes of Palawa Joko's undead army attacked and slaughtered thousands, including Caria's father. With is last breath, her father asked her to save herself. She didn't hesitate and fled.
A few days later, Caria was weak and exhausted. She stopped to nap, but she had a dream. A monk in her dream said that she was her mother (who had died during childbirth) and to go to Ascalon in Tyria to find her destiny.
Caria arrives in Tyria and spots a black wolf. She charms it and names it Midnight. But she felt a strong urge to charm it, like some godly force was compelling her to do it.
That night, she has another dream and her mother appears in it once again. This time, she tells Caria that she is the reincarnation of the legendary heroine Tender Wolf. Her image is shown in the water and the resemblance is striking. Tender Wolf was drawn to wolves, which is why Caria felt the strong urge to charm the first one she saw.
Knowing the truth, Caria goes to Ascalon to find her destiny. All the citizens bow before her and respect her. According to Tender Wolf's legend, the heroine would return one day to protect her people, even in soul. And she has, through Caria.
Caria also manages to find Tender Wolf's lost diary and learns everything about her. From then on she knows what her destiny is. She stays in Ascalon, fighting for what she believes in and protecting her people for all eternity.

Lufarianor the Wise
Lufarianor was a treelover from his youngest years. His friends calling him laughing Luffy, he ran through the woods north of the Northern Wall like a wild spirit, his hair flying wildly and the Charr patrols seeming to always miss him. Then he saw the great Flame. Not knowing it's purpose, he wandered lesuirely back to Ascalon to find the Prince and to telll him the story, but the Prince was out at the academy, chasing after a Charr group that had slipped through the Wall. Lufarianor having nothing better to do he went after him, thus avoiding the entire Searing. Knowing he had nothing to go back to, a suddenly aged Lufarianor went through many hardships, crossing the Shiverpeaks, befriending the White Mantle, only to discover there true nature. After arriving in the desert however, Luffy decided he had enough of this grim land and headed south across the sea.
Thusly he arrived in Cantha. There he lived many exciting adventures, but, yet again he found himself tiring of this life when he was relegated to escorting baby turtles around the continent.
Therefore he crossed the ocean yet again, to The Land of the Golden Sun. There he went through even more adventures, finally understanding his true destiny, and taking control of his future. For the first time, Luffy stuck with his mission from start to end, bringing an end to Nightfall and becoming Abbadon's Bane. After this ordeal, and with his newfound force of personality, he returned to the land of his birth, earning the name of Lichbane. He then returned to Cantha, saving Mhenlo from a horrible fate, and, after mourning Master Togo, becoming Shiro's Bane. He then voyaged again north with his longtime friend Aidan.
In the North he discovered yet another threat. It took all his courage to face this threat and to finish his fight, but in the end he became the Bane of the Great Destroyer.
Yet through all these trials, all these titles, the only one that is now bestowed on him is that of Lufarianor the Wise.

king of killers · Apr 13, 2008, 05:30 AM // 05:30

king of killers
Age: 34
Gender: female
(interesting i know)

Born into a poor family she was a dark child with a rough life experiencing hardships as her family was one of sorcery and killing for money without blood on their hands. She took up the profession of necromancy. One day her father left when she was only 7 and her mother taught her the dark arts of necromancy. She learned fast at how to kill by stealing the life of others to gain more power for herself. Soon the country became a land of tyrancy, their leaders name was Sir Patron the Great or at least thats what he had named himself. He was a harsh man who killed all sorcerers of the area, he thought they were unnecesary, and he told his miltia they would only pose a threat to their expansion of rule. As the years had gone by her family which was then in hiding told her she was extremely strong in the areas of necromancy and that she should expand her talents to a different profession as well. Since she figured she was extremely skilled at anything, she decided to take the secondary class of warrior a class many wouldn't think a necromancer could handle. One day while training hard she met a friend named justify thy sole.. he told her he would go into the shiverpeaks to find her a firey dragon sword crafted by the best of the mountain trolls. She would'nt have dared tread on that territory alone seeing as how they outnumbered her 30 to 1. The next day he had came with a sword of extreme power a max power firey dragon sword. When she wielded the sword she could practice in much harsher areas. Soon after she had built a reputation of the slayer of all beasts. At the time she seemed untouchable but the only thing that worried her was returning home to see what it had become. She took a boat and what had once been a swamp had been baren wasteland with old encampments reduced to ash. Out of a cave she saw her mother come out and she said "GET OUT before the patrols come back". "We will be okay" she said.Hearing her mother said this she figured there would be another time to dicuss these matters. The next day she returned her mother was dying and said this "I'm sorry we couldn't survive through this for 5 years until your return but we fought hard and tried, but their were no more corpses seeing as how there was no longer a population around. Her last words were "leave!... the king of killers will surely defeat you JUST run away". Shortly after, while asleep her mother passed. She had thought long and hard about why they would try to kill her family but then a patrol man was still standing in the corner of the once was village and she approached him. "WHO ARE YOU"?? he said. I am Celiena Killer of All Beasts. Y-you you were the one the king wanted... please do'nt kill me I-I'll tell you anything you want. "Well WHAT does he want with me"? she said. "He said you sailed away some years ago to recieve some training and he felt you were trying to threaten is position" the patrol man said. Why did you kill my family? The people i loved". H-He forced us to come here, he is after you and trying to draw you out from hiding. Who told him all of this??? she said. He said "he got the answer from a reliable source". "TELL ME" SHE SAID "and were can i find him?". "I-I can't tell you that i swore alliegance and made and oath of loyalty to him". "Then you are useless, I will slice you to pieces and bathe in your blood". "N-NO stop" he said, "you can find him in an encampment north he is sitting there waiting for us to find you". I'm tired of hearing your mouth she stabbed him through the stomach and told him i hope you die and you become MY god's lapdog. The lapdog of Grenth!!!! she roasted his corpse over an open pit fire and left it there. I will finish later im tired ^^

Jam Jar · Apr 18, 2008, 04:59 AM // 04:59

The Jam Jar... born to a wealthy Jam making company in the east, where jam was pleasant and fruitful... ever since he was young, he was the container. The container of jam. Traveling many places, he went eventually to Ascalon, where he stayed as the jam container of the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that a wizard loves. Coincidentally, this wizard was finding out how to contact non existant beings. So, after finishing the jam, he absentmindedly put it inside the trashcan. Only to find out an hour later that it was actually the pot filled with strange and awkward chemicals.

And that's when I was born. A living jam jar.

I really think that all character BIOs which are lenthy and well-written (i.e the person behind it put some effort into it) should be put up in seperate threads. I know some of the people who post their character's BIO's up here also have had some artwork done of their characters, and they could perhaps attach some of them to the thread with their BIO. This, and making the whole post look tidy and welcoming would add to the ambience when reading.

I just think that a lot of these stories are really good, and a lot of them aren't. Those which are good get lost in the posts here, and people who would've enjoyed them won't take the time to find them and read them.

Those of you who have quite elaborate and well-thought of background-stories, and especially those of you who also shape your gameplaying after them, you should post these as seperate threads, as literary work.
I myself would enjoy that a LOT.

Taninim Nurin · May 27, 2008, 03:53 AM // 03:53

Taninim Nurin "dragon of light"
Age: Its rumored 25-35
Ancestry: She has no family, rumors state she carries Elonian features.
Class: Ranger, with a knack for air magic.
Pet: "Nutmeg"-Playful Tiger cub.
Weapon: Wit & Cunning

A Monastery, shrouded by the morning’s fog, stood alone in its silent vigil. Its walls beaten but unbowed, told of its everlasting strength. Each day its gates opened for the lone figure to emerge, she would follow the path that lead to the lake. A trail worn down by time, she knew it well. The trees bare of their summer cloaks protected her steps. The lake was still, no breeze disturbed its slumber. She sat upon on a rock over looking its calm; for it was here she had rediscovered her soul and purpose.

It was a morning just like this, misty and still, when he came to her from the depths of his meditation. The mantle of the forest, his home. He took her by the hand and led her across the serene waters, her rawhide boots never touching its surface. They talked of dreams and fears and renewed joys of life. He unlocked the chains to the anchors of her soul, and showed her magic’s, too many to behold. His stories lifted her spirit, and encouraged her to look past the horizon that was so readily setting. They spoke in low whispers, his attention held her through out the night. Finally she fell upon quiet slumber. As the sun cleared the forest the next morn, he left returning to his home in the trees.

So each day she walks down to this spot, his words engraved on her soul. She waits for him, among the calm of nature, in hopes he will return from his vale within the heavens. She speaks as if he was there, and hears his voice carried from the heights from whence he came. After an hour’s time, she turns to the Monastery on the hill. Sorrow is held at bay by the memories of that time long ago.

And as she enters the woods she turns for one last look...

"Till the morrow my teacher, my story is...still unfolding. I am Tanimin, I shall light the way..for it to finish."

Age:26

Nationality: Vabbian Lands

Profession:Mesmer

Her story begins in a hot long day of summer, she was born in Vabbian Lands, and her mother was a monk, her dad an Assasin!

In nowadays, Diligo is far from her love, he was banish from her life, banish for love and using Hyponis to save people, but she knows that they will find each other again, maybe in another hot summer day, in the midlle of the sea, always remenbering the last thing he said,

- Don't be frightened if you swoon away. Don't resist. Let it caress you... whisper to you... murmur to you... as the force in me comes flowing into your flesh... your nerves... your bones...

And then he gone..Not forever, she knew that, he was inside of her, after all when she is alone she can hear the wind whispering to her, Diligo, Diligo Regina...

I hope you enjoyed and sorry for my english

Ashen Leonidas
Age (as of the Searing): 19
Nation: Ascalon
Birthplace: Ashford

Ashen was born to a family of blacksmiths in Ashford, growing up in the shadow of Ascalon City and the Great Wall of the North. He was always one of the most respected boys in the town, both because his parents, though poor relative to those living in Ascalon City or Rin, were some of the wealthiest in Ashford, and also because he was big, strong, and possessed of a strong sense of justice. His father never much minded him getting into fights with the local bullies, though his mother was concerned that the fights might eventually get nastier. Fortunately, they never did. There was a sort of unspoken agreement between Ashen and his friends and their 'arch-nemeses' that they would never actually hurt one another. In fact, their arch-nemeses never really bullied anyone after that either, choosing instead to be content with picking fights with Ashen and his 'guild.'

Ashen was trained as a warrior, as well, by his father, who had once been in the profession himself until his left leg was injured in the first Guild Wars, and when Ashen was twelve and he was beginning to mature past the childish games (which is what they really were), the mock 'guild wars' played out by his friends and his rivals, he took up the way of the sword, the axe, and the hammer. Ashen was also educated somewhat academically, being able to read and write (a skill that wasn't totally universal in Ashford).

When Ashen was seventeen, he left home with his parents best wishes behind him and left for Ascalon City. There he found work doing whatever he could. He had always known that his origins from Ashford would be humble here in Ascalon City, but he didn't fully realize it until he had to take odd jobs to get by. He finally found his fortune a year later, when one of his friends in the city, Sir Tydus, found him and informed him that the Vanguard was recruiting. Ashen didn't even hesitate to join. He completed basic training faster than most, owing to his upbringing as a warrior, and was assigned to be the bodyguard of an aristocrat named Marius Maginot.

Marius Maginot
Age: 18
Nation: Ascalon
Birthplace: Ascalon City

Marius Maginot was born in Ascalon City into the Maginot family, the only child of a family of aristocrats who, while lacking in actual political influence, were quite wealthy. Marius was not spoiled as a child, for an aristocrat, but there were few things he wanted for. He studied hard in his youth as well, taking a liking to elementalism, fire magic in particular. His family, particularly his father, always encouraged him to pursue this passion.

When he was eighteen, his studies at home with his families hired tutor ended, and instead of leaving for Nolani Academy, he left to join the Ascalon Vanguard, hoping to replace study with experience, not to mention adventure and perhaps a little bit of romance. Though he was a bit arrogant, Marius was more than anything else an idealistic, naive young man, full of visions of glory and victory.

That changed with the Searing. In a less than an hour, his home, Ascalon City, was annihilated. Forever after, Marius hated the Charr, their fire, and their savagery. He was filled with distrust of Kryta and Orr (though the latter soon became irrelevant). He abandoned Pyromancy and took up Hydromancy instead, controlling the forces of water and especially ice to kill the Charr.

Solomon Bailey
Age: 50
Nation: Kryta
Birthplace: Nebo Village

Solomon's father was rather heavily in debt to a Krytan guild by the time of Solomons birth, and it was a bad time to be in debt too, because the guilds of Nebo were fighting at that time with a rather powerful coalition of guilds from Lions Arch, and needed as much money as they could get. They also needed people, though, so they offered to settle the debt by enlisting Bailey. Bailey was, however, a cowardly man, and so offered his youngest child, Solomon, instead. The guilds wouldn't take it, so he offered his second youngest, Elijah. Ultimately he gave up all three of his children and his wife as well, and within two years he was so thoroughly in debt again that he was enlisted into the Nebo's army anyway.

Solomon was seperated from his family and was at first a servant who was taught the art of the Monk by his new master in his spare time, in keeping with the current strategy of enlisting as many Monks as possible in order to provide much needed medics for the war. But the Nebo guilds were defeated by the Lions Arch guilds by the time Solomon was twelve (he'd been an indentured servant for five years at that time), and so he fell into the hands of a new master from Lions Arch.

Solomon returned with the rest of the spoils to Lions Arch, and was taught to be a Mesmer instead, as the Nolani Academy was producing a good amount of Warriors at the time and the guilds of Lions Arch wanted to be ready to fight Ascalon if they were ever able to calm the wars in Kryta. While he took to the Mesmer trade well enough, he was a rather frank and honest person, which doubtless prevented him from reaching his full potential as a Mesmer.

When Solomon was sixteen, he was pressed into service in the frontlines in the fight between the Lions Arch guilds and the Riverside Province. The Lions Arch guilds now had the support of the royal family, who had always been figureheads, and the Riverside Province were officially declared rebels. With all of two-thirds of Kryta plus the Lionsguard fighting the Riverside guilds, it wasn't long before Kryta was again united in both fact and name.

Solomon was, at the time, nineteen, and was then pulled back to Lions Arch where he again became a servant while Kryta was at peace (meanwhile the strongest alliances in Ascalon and Orr scrambled to unite their own nations, putting much pressure on the royalty of both nations to give official support to one alliance or the other).

When the war with Ascalon came, Solomon was sent for two years to the unenviable Shiverpeaks front. The battles never raged close enough to either side of the mountains to leave the abominable cold behind, and it wasn't too long before Solomon didn't mind if they got pushed back to the Gates of Kryta so long as he could get back to the Krytan climate he'd grown up with. Eventually, Kryta made peace with Ascalon and the two prepared to make war on Orr.

Though war with Orr did break out again, and then with Ascalon not too long after that, Solomon was never sent to battle again, having proved a rather able valet during the short rest between wars. He didn't much like the work, but had little choice. And so his life passed for years until the invasion of the Charr and the rise of the White Mantle. Though Solomon never joined, he provided his full support to the White Mantle for freeing him from the Guild Lord he'd been effectively enslaved too for years.

Using his knowledge of the Shiverpeaks, earned in blood during the Guild Wars, Solomon was able to lead Ambassador Zain safely through. The ambassador sent Solomon back with the exiled Ascalonian refugees under Prince Rurik, where Solomon found his services as a Monk (and occasionally as a Mesmer as well) were needed for the first time in decades. Solomon was, however, happy to help the Ascalons reach their new home in Kryta, knowing that he was now fighting for the White Mantle, a cause he believed to be just.

He was in for a rather severe shock when he followed his Ascalonian friends to Bloodstone Fen.

Riviel Vasburg
Age: 18
Nation: Kurzicks
Birthplace: Vasburg Armory

Riviel was raised to be an archer for the never ending war against the Luxons, but she tired of the pointless fighting very soon after she began. After her year long comission in the Kurzick army expired, she left, at the age of nineteen, for Lions Arch. She integrated much better than most of the Kurzicks into Krytan society, and was more than willing to help with the Ascalons plight when they crossed the Shiverpeaks.

She followed the Ascalons as far as Amnoon Oasis, but while the others left to attempt to ascend, she took the first boat she could find to Lions Arch, and then made for the Shiverpeaks to help with the fight against the White Mantle. She saw it to be hopeless, however, and left with several other Shining Blade friends for her home in the Echovald. She found that the war had gone rather sour since she left, and that it was now Kurzick territories in the hands of the Luxons, instead of vice versa. Feeling more patriotic than she had in years, she and most of her Shining Blade friends rushed to the defense of her old home in Vasburg Armory. Since then she has spent her days fighting the Luxons, slowly but surely restoring the old borders.

Fin.

That would be all the Prophecies characters. I'll do up the Factions and Nightfall ones some other time.

My Character

Karus Cale

Male
Age: 26
Kaineng City
Assassin

Karus always wanted to become a Warrior. He trained with the guards at the local barracks and sparred a few times with his friends in the fields. One day he decided to fight a random guy...

Karus: Hey noob. gtfo or fight me.
Assassin: stfu.
Karus: lets fight biatch.
*Assassin then uses [shattersin; OwBj0xezIPlZ/nYOBOBPz6PBA] and owns Karus*
Karus: wtf h4x. this sux.

Then Karus goes on to kill the celestial animal things which lands him in jail for animal rights abuse and when he got out he joined the Am Fah Guild to be trained by their assassins.

He later left because people were calling him Am Fag and pussy.

He went back to jail after murdering several people that he thought was afflicted but was actually suffering from pimples and sores and goiter.

That is his story. He is legend. Not Will Smith.

Boreas Soulwind

Male
Age: 23
Address: Fort Aspenwood
Occupation: Ritualist

Boreas never realy liked the luxons. When he was a kid, he used to hang out with his Kurzick buddies, playing in the abandoned Jade Quarry. That was their secret hideout. But then some Luxon patrolmen came and found them. The Luxons then proceeded to mete out some ass whooping. This was the turning point for Boreas.

By the time the luxons left, he was near death and his eyesight was fading to black. Then he saw a bright light, a formless presence, a spirit. The spirit spoke to his mind, "get the f**k up nublet. Lets make u own some suxon ass!". So Boreas found the strength to stand up, and althought wobbly, gave the spirit the finger. From there, he grew to like the spirit and the spirit taught him how to manipulate the powers found in the spirit world.

After 3 years of training in a hidden glade by Fernwood, he joined the Fort Aspenwood Guard and impressed them with his spirit skills. A few days later, a major incursion by the Luxons gave Boreas a chance to show his mettle.

So Boreas ran as fast as he could to the outer orange gate and quickly called on the spirit of preservation and life. After only a few minutes of waiting, the luxons came. They then started attacking the valiant dumbass kurzick guards that thought guarding the gate meant standing in front of the gate and bodyblocking people from entering. Boreas healed these dumbasses anyways.
One of the luxons shouted across the wall, "WTF! freaking gay queerzicks! stop healing!". So Boreas replied "LOL".

The heat died down on the Orange gate and Boreas was thinking Hmm. Why isn't anyone here? Someone then shouted from the Inner courtyard, "Boreas! Get your useless f**kin' ass over here! The suxons broke the f**kin' purple gate. You other people run some amber! f**kin' noobs." So Boreas went and started healing the people. He was also able to kill several suxons who were close to death with his Spirit Burn and Gaze from Beyond skills.

They won the battle and Boreas has forever been assigned to Fort Aspenwood, never being able to leave since. He killed himself 5 years after because Lee Sa, one of his guardian spirits, wouldn't sleep with him since she was already dead.

On his epitaph it said "I'm a spirit now Lee Sa! Hehehe..."
