Personal history
Some believe he is not actually human, others think he's an unfortunate orphan with amnesia, while several others claim he's not from Kalkatesh. Whatever the case may be, they all have one thing in common; no one knows of his true origins. Even the individual himself cannot recall where he's from and who his ancestors are. His name, Dae Song-Joo (데송주), is the only thing he can call back on. Rescued by an orphanage owner, he spent roughly 5 years growing up in a sheltered desert village in Majital. At the age of around 19 he adopted the nickname, Kazuo, and bid the elderly high elf who raised him farewell. His objective, to uncover his ancestry and get some answers. He keeps his birth name and personal past a secret to everyone around him. Only those he truly trusts know the full story.
Biological Timeline<br />
Age ? to ~ 13:
No memory, knows only what the orphanage owner told him. The high elf found young Song-Joo wandering about the desert mindlessly in a trance-like state. Song-Joo was wearing tattered clothing, while his body was covered in small cuts and burns. The young boy's hands were tightly pressed upon his chest, where he was clutching onto an envelope that contained a letter. After being brought to the orphanage, the high elf took the letter and hid this knowledge from the boy for the time being. Song-Joo himself made a full recovery with no scarring despite his numerous injuries.
Age ~ 13 to ~ 18:
Song-Joo's recurring nightmare began shortly after his recovery. The dream depicted a very blurry picture of some sort of violent event that happened to him when he was roughly 13 years old. This nightmare happened once every 2 weeks-ish. Meanwhile, his high elf caretaker spent these 5 years attempting to decipher the letter. But due to the extra-planar other-worldly nature of it, he is unsuccessful.
Age ~ 18 to Present:
The high elf gave Song-Joo the letter in hopes it may jog the boy's lost memories. When it does not, the orphanage owner is sadden. One lengthy conversation with the elderly high elf later, Song-Joo decides to go traveling and search for the answers himself. He adopts the nickname, Kazuo, given to him by the elderly high elf who raised him. After an emotional parting, Kazuo left his little desert hamlet to begin his journey.
The crackling flames danced about tirelessly as thick plumes of black smoke choked out the sky. A blurry figure dashed through the inferno, a wailing 13 year old boy trailing behind. The child clasped tightly onto the figure’s hand like a vise, fearful of what might happen should he lose grip. All around them unknown voices yelled and screamed as the sounds of explosions, grinding metal, and crumbling stone joined the cacophony. Attempting to escape from the spreading chaos, the figure led the boy into an indiscernible room.
The room was dark and hazy. Compared to the choir of destruction outside, this place was relatively quiet; quiet enough to hear the soft hum of cogs and vents inside the structure. After a quick reprieve, the figure gently embraced the boy and stroked his dark amber hair, calming him. When the boy’s stream of tears began to dry and his wailing softened to a whimper, the figure gave him a quick kiss on the forehead and started walking towards the door. The boy tried to follow, but the figure quickly spun him around and nudged him back into the room. Giving him a small smile, the figure turned around and walked outside to begin closing the door. As the door came shut, the boy a tear streak down the figure’s cheek and heard it sob,
“Dae Song-Joo... love you….”
To my dearest son,
I don’t know where to start and where to end.... Your father remains fighting on the front lines against the enemy. I hope he’s eating all right, I haven’t heard from him for a few days now.... It’s a shame he won’t be able to see you off in the morning. I’m sure he would’ve wanted to hug you one last time before sending you off. As for me, I won’t be accompanying you either. It’s unfortunate that it has to be this way, and I wish there another choice.... I’ve been given 10 minutes once morning hits to send you off. You’ll be the last one. If only I had more time to spend with you, but getting to see your sleeping face one last time tonight will suffice. Please forgive me and you father for being such horrible parents, unable to be around and support you during a crucial part in your childhood. I hope this letter finds you safe and sound. Make lots of friends and don’t forget to eat properly. Your father and I, no matter where we are will always be with you, in your heart.
Love you always
