Chapter 1: Beforan Aradia / The Assassin

The Assassin is the Beforan version of Aradia Megido & the ancestor of Damara Megido. The Assassin grew up first in a village who didn’t want anything to do with the Beforan Empire. One day the empire came to conquer & burn down that village, which traumatized Assassin for the rest of her life (both from witnessing the massacre & the survivor’s guilt). It then devoted its life to learning & perfecting various killing methods to dispose of the cool-bloods of the Beforan empire (specifically those who’s exploitation of the hemocast was grand + unpunished). They earned their title thanks to the ridiculously high kill count they accumulated till their disappearance.

Outside of her assassinations, the Assassin worked on getting supplies and goods to various underground organizations and groups to keep up their fight against the empire. Despite being quite quiet & ruthless, there was a jovial aura to Assassin which all those who knew it told was infectious. Many trolls were freaked out by Assassin’s chronic smile, even in grim moments. When questioned on this, Assassin simply noted that life is to be enjoyed, that to enjoy is to fight the empire sustainably.

Through the resource collecting, Assassin one day met their matesprit Champion Hopedart… And his matesprit Olympian Danceace. While Assassin did in genuine love Hopedart & trusted him in ways few knew, she had a non-romantic fraud relationship with Danceace, whomst declared loyalty still to the empire.

One day Assassin went after its ultimate target: Empress Smotheri. Taking poisons which should’ve killed the seadweller, Assassin successfully infiltrated the castle and attacked the empress. Unfortunately for Assassin, somebody had sabotaged her. That day is when Assassin officially went missing while the Empress hid her injures & scars of the attack. Everyone who had been helped by Assassin wept the perigees after what truthfully was her death.
