Noble Beginnings
Darwin Steelblood was born on March 13th inside of the Steelblood estate. He was the youngest of two brothers, and son of renowned general Alduin Steelblood. During the war of races, Alduin lead a fierce army, and was looked up to by many. After other races gaining their independence, Alduin married Darwin's mother, Jessica Windleaf. As Darwin grew, he was more than pampered by the wealth his father had, and decided to take advantage of this. He studied various different creatures and oddities throughout his childhood using his father's money, and even aspired to be a researcher. At the age of 12, his mother passed away from poisoning, which drove Aludin mad. Alduin turned against everyone he trusted, even his own children, beginning to neglect them because of his thirst for revenge. When Darwin turned 14, he went out on his first research expedition on studying the behaviors of creatures that had taken over a local church. The source of these creatures was a cult, which used Darwin as a tribute to their god, The God of Deformity. They broke his mind into different parts, creating them for different emotions and purposes. Shortly after, the new found abilities of these newly created personalities were unleashed upon the cult, slaughtering them all. Upon returning home, his father called him an abomination and locked him in his room. This is the time where he met a young servant girl by the name of Caroline. They befriended each other when he was 16, and their friendship carried over to 19, where they attempted to run away together, only for one of the personalities to get out of hand and kill Caroline. At the age of 21, he was sent to Ascension Academy by his father, in hopes of never needing to see his son again.
