Axel grew up about 1 hour from the beach, in Scorchrest. He and his dad were the best of pals. They went to the park and had their own adventures. They got ice cream together at the local diner. Axel wanted to be just like him. However, when Axel was 4 years old, his father was called to war and drafted by the military. Dreadfort forces dominated the war, suffering very few losses, but unfortunately, Axel’s father, Ace, was taken as a POW by the enemy forces, with one of the commanders being a necromancer. As the prison camp was being liberated, the necromancer cursed as many POWs as possible before being captured, Ace being one of them. Ace was taken to his home, as the curse’s only cure was practically non-existent. Axel stood by his father as his father was dying. He held his hand. Ace’s last words were short but sweet: “I want you to live a life everyone can be proud of. Be honorable. Be good. You’re my son, and I love you more than anyone in the world.” Axel watched as his father succumbed to the curse. His mother was a sweetheart. She tucked him into bed. She sang songs for him. He cooked him only the best food. His mother, Brooke, was the only person he loved after his father died. Unfortunately, the curse got to Brooke too, and she died too. Axel felt sad, but felt anger too. He started working out, started training hard. He graduated school at 15, at the top of his class, and kept the grind going. He eventually got into the military. He helped conquer many countries, molding Dreadfort into an even bigger empire. He gained the nickname “The Angel of Death” due to his kindness to his allies and brutality to his ememies. He eventually met his future wife, Finley, and started dating her. Axel received an honorable discharge by the Dreadfort Special Forces at the rank of Colonel, and earned himself a legendary reputation on the way. Axel eventually got married to Finley, and opened the game store, as he and Finley had a mutual love for gaming. They stayed up late nights playing games on their Gamestation 4 together, and ended up getting engaged. Finley and Axel were the best couple in town, rarely having any arguments. They got married, and had the best wedding of all time. They had a dj, a dance floor, food from the best restaurant in town, games, and even a cake fight at the end. 9 months after the wedding, the couple welcomed a new baby into the world: Colin. Colin was a sweet baby boy who loved to spend time with his dad. The curse put on Axel had a strange and specific effect: 2 years after marriage, the curse strikes at your spouse and child if you have one. Colin was 1 and 1/4 years old. Finley was 21. They both died suddenly, with Axel not even getting a chance to say goodbye. Axel was deeply saddened by this loss, and started heavily drinking, and eventually got depression. This went on for about a year until Axel got recruited as a bounty hunter, also earning a legendary reputation in that field. And here we are now.
