Mental characteristics

Personal history

Nojoom's story begins with him being left at a door of the monastery high in the peaks of the mountains when he was just small, small enough to not be able to comprehend the meaning of being left or for him to remember a life before the monastery. With no trace of who or what could have left him there, the monks took him in and began to raise him and teach him their ways. The monks began to teach them their meaning and their purpose in this universe which was to serve and protect the people of nearby towns and cities which the mountains had over looked. This way, he began to learn to defend himself and others and understand moral and ethical values so he could do his best to save his city. One monk specifically took interest in Nojoom, named Nas, a fellow Loxodon who had also been left and found by the monks at the young age many years before. Nas would take Nojoom for extra training and they gained a mentor to student true bond through this and as years passed began to fight off enemies side by side. However, when doing so, Nas always seemed to want more than just doing a good deed by protecting the people as though he needed power. Nojoom could see with each mission they would embark on, Nas became more and more corrupt with the idea of having power over others. This was truly heartbreaking to Nojoom as this was essentially someone he had seen as a father figure and he was slipping away. A few years passed as Nojoom watched the Nas he knew become more corrupt and bloodthirsty, Nas now went on his own missions and Nojoom didnt dare think of what they could entail. One day, they decided to ead out together, Nojoom saw maybe a spark of how Nas used to be and maybe this could be like old times. However, Nojoom quickly learned this was not the case. They had arrived at a glacier near the mountains they lived on which seemed to have been unexplored. Nas explained to Nojoom that this is where a hidden power lay that they could find, an ink they could use to gain tendrils to help them fight. Although Nojoom seemed suspicious of this idea, he went along with it. Once entering the Glacier, it quickly became apparant that this was the home to something, something deadly. At end of the long winding glacier, the ink appeared and Nojoom and Nas grabbed it and Nas began to create the tattoo on Nojoom's arm. Once completing this, A giant ice dragons crashed down from above and began to attack them. Nas began to talk about this being the real reason he is here, to show how powerful he is and kill the innocent dragon which now started to try and escape the glacier as Nas was killing it. Nojoom then stopped him and the dragon flew out of the glacier. Nas did not take kindly to this and out blindness through rage that the dragon escaped, began to attack Nojoom. Nojoom had no choice but to fight back and this lasted for several minutes until Nojoom accidentally stabbed Nas in the neck with a shortsword. Nas then bled out and Nojoom was left with nothing but his weapons and tattoo. Nojoom realised he had no time to mourn as from the entrance of the glacier, he could see the ice dragon approaching a nearby city, he knew he had to go and save them and stop what him and his mentor had started. Nojoom travelled to the city as quick as he could where he then began to fight the ice dragon with a few guards who all tragically lost their lives during this fight along with a few townspeople, the ones he couldn't save. As more and more people were getting killed, the dragon grew weaker until only Nojoom and the dragon was left where he landed one final blow into the dragons heart and saved the city. It didn't feel like he saved the city to him, to him he just murdered his father figure and a load of innocent townspeople, all for a tattoo. He shouldn't deserve this praise. Word about this saviour Loxodon travelled like wildfire and he received praise the across the land. He became a folk hero eventhough he lied and kept his secret that he was the one who caused the mess in the first place, mourning families praised him while their loss could have been prevented without him but he couldnt tell him. Eventhough the guilt of the secret eats him up inside, he couldnt have the courage. He even still feels guilty about Nas. He tells himself it wasnt his fault when he knows well he couldve prevented what happened, he couldve told the monastary about Nas' corrupt ways. At present day, this guilt still feeds inside him but less than it did before, after 150 years, the guilt begins to fade, but not when he sees that glacier, not when he visits that city as a legend who saved their lives many years ago. Nojoom now lived a life of fame, he was head of the monastery, in control of everything there, people would worship him like he was some sort of god but he was a fraud at the end of the day. This is a secret he would have to die with one way or another, he could not give this up. He knew he was still a good person deep down but he could not bring himself to be honest about what happened that day.
