Personal history
Axel Leoson was born to Leo Ketillson and Katla Kristindottir in from the moment he could count at age 4 he was taught the tools of the trade, how to become a merchant, He was taught to haggle, barter and sell. Although his parents tried to craft him into a merchant meticulously he would always be distracted by the music coming from a certain shop. When Axel was 5 he was put into school by his parents where they quickly learned it was a waste of money due to how easily Axel got distracted and his lack of intelligence, Although to Axel it wasn't a complete waste of time as he met Violet Aolis and while he wouldn't realise it for many of years later he quickly developed a crush which would later flourish into love although he wouldn't talk to her until a few years later. Axel was removed from school at the age of 7 due to his parents believing he could better spend the time helping them around the shop this revelation by Axel's parents was met with an argument from Axel who wanted to stay in school, Axel eventually relented when his mother hit him after that, from that point on whenever Axel would start arguing with his parents his mother would resort to hitting him During this time his father started showing him certain things his parents do for luck which including Prayer to the Goddess, Lady Luck.
When Axel was 8 he made a prayer to Lady Luck hoping his luck would turn around, later that day when he was coming back home from a grocery run his mother wanted him to do one of the apples he bought rolled off the top and landed in front of Motto's Magical Music shop a place that Axel has always wanted to go into, Believing it to be an answer to his prayer from earlier (Although Axel now would note that, that day was particularly windy) Axel went inside and doing so would change his life for the better if only temporarily
Entering Motto's shop Axel would come to learn the wonders of music as well as his friendship with Violet would begin to flourish through a shared love of music very quickly he learnt that Violet was looking to purchase a violin so Axel made a decision to try and buy the violin for her first asking his parents if he could get paid for running errands for them which was met with a beating from his mother and her calling him ungrateful for the roof over his head, Following that Axel went and begged Motto for a job and Motto gave him one.
At age 10 Axel and Violet were almost inseparable having spent the better part of the last 2 years together to the point where Axel spent more time at her house than at his own home, Although her parents at first didn’t really like Axel, The loudmouth quickly grew on them, This was also the year that Axel and Violet went to the festival together while they were there Violet shared her dream with Axel, her dream being that she wanted to be part of a bard group one that would travel the world bringing music across the quadrants. Axel told her that if anyone could do it she could.
At age 11 Motto’s Magical music store got a new addition a weapon that functions as a guitar Axel saw it and immediately fell in love with it and its red colouration although when he saw the price he knew he wouldn’t be able to afford it for many of years after he bought Violet her Violin.
At age 12 on the week before Christmas Axel finally had the money to the money to buy the Violin, so he wakes up earlier than usual to buy it to his dismay as he enters the shop the Violin is no longer there, running up to Motto Axel questions where the Violin went, before Motto laughs before stating that not only is he the one that pays Axel but he was also the one that put a price on the Violin and that he thought he would take the time to wrap it for Christmas, Axel looking confused for a second before realising it is indeed almost Christmas and giving Motto all the money he has saved up for the past four years before grabbing the gift and running out the shop to go find Violet.
After running around for a bit Axel eventually found Violet tripping over his own words a bit he was eventually able to get out a Merry Christmas, before trying to run away back into Motto’s shop only being stopped by Violet saying thank you and giving him a hug, A couple of days later while Axel is working Violet comes up to him and hands him a gift of her own uttering her own Merry Christmas towards Axel opening the gift it reveals a pair of red gloves Axel is in awe over the gloves for a couple reason’s one being it’s rare for him to get gifts, while the other is just how beautiful he thought the gloves were Axel let out a soft thank you as he was still registering what happened.
By the age of 15 Axel and Violet had gone to their last Melody Way Festival, they went together and had a wonderful time with the little festival games and the Music show near the end of the festival Axel and Violet would’ve been on top of the roof of Motto’s shop sitting next to each other enjoying each other’s company and enjoying the music of the festival. While they were on the roof Axel couldn’t help but notice that Violet was getting closer to him before he could question what she was doing, he hears a sound that he dreads his mother Yelling at him to get his ass down so he can help them prepare for tomorrow’s opening. (As Axel looks back to this day he realises in embarrassment that if his mother wasn’t there he would’ve realised that Violet actually had feelings for him although that just adds another notch on the belt for why he hates his mother) Running down mostly out of fear Axel never notices Violets face and the blush that adorns it.
Around one month after that Axel came home to his mother in the foulest of moods which while isn’t unusual usually meant either an argument or a beating and that particular night it was both starting with an argument about how his mother graciously went along with Axel’s music phase but he was almost 16 and would need to take over the family business soon to which Axel said fuck off and declared that he would never take over the family business, Which resulted in him getting the beating of his life from his mother it started to get so bad that his father stepped in stopping his mother from doing anything more Axel scurried to his room pushing his bed in front of the door he grabbed some clothes the money he had from working at Motto’s and as he climbed out the window bruised in extreme pain with ragged breathing his eyes lock with his father’s who just turns around as if to give Axel permission to leave his first stop is Violet’s house, He needs to say goodbye, he knocks on the window of her room explaining to her what happened and that he is leaving and he came to say goodbye Violet’s only response was that she was coming with him Axel tried his best to dissuade her but she wouldn’t take no for an answer (Axel now would look back on this and say he should’ve tried harder maybe she’d still be alive if he tried just that little bit harder) So Axel relented telling her he will be right back he is just going to go say bye to Motto and that she should pack,
Going to Motto’s shop he could see that Motto was still closing up, knocking on the door Axel walks in knowing that Motto doesn’t lock his door unless no one is in the shop. Axel explains to Motto what happened and that He is leaving and that Violet is coming with him. Axel thanks Motto for everything he has done for Axel mentioning that without Motto and this shop Axel wouldn’t be able to call Melody Way his home. Motto tries to dissuade Axel from leaving saying the world is dangerous to which Axel replies so is staying here, this entire time Axel has been leaning against a wall to support himself, Motto realising that there was no way he would be able to convince Axel to stay instead decides to give him a better chance and staying alive. Undoing the locks on the display case Motto pulls out The Axe guitar that Axel has been wanting to buy for 4 years giving it to Axel he says “I want you to have this, use it to protect yourself and the people you care about.” Axel starts crying while saying thank you many times over to Motto and eventually Axel leaves heading back to Violet’s house, Axel and Violet leave the village together never looking back
Upon entering their first village other than Axel and Violet looked like a mess of dirt and grime the first thing Axel and Violet did was try to get a room at an Inn but the Innkeeper turned tried to turn them away so Axel tried again not willing to take no for an answer eventually paying more than he had to Axel was able to convince the Innkeeper to give them a room. After taking turns cleaning up the two of them rested up before Brainstorming what they would be doing. Eventually, they decide they are gonna become a travelling band and put their talents to good use so they went back down cleaned up and with their instruments spoke to the innkeeper about potentially while they are in town providing the Inn with entertainment in exchange for board the innkeeper asked them to play once before he made his decision, Doing so Axel and Violet manage to successfully impress the innkeeper with their music so he agrees that as long as they keep performing well that they could stay as long as they need, The didn’t stay long in the town maybe about a week before they went on the move to a new town playing music wherever they could.
About three months into their journey Violet got really sick while in a town Axel tried to buy some stuff to help Violet but he wasn’t able to afford anything so one night he broke in to a shop and stole some medicine for Violet.
A rotation of the season’s after Axel and Violet left Melody Way, they were performing a show when a mysterious man by the name of Caspian or Caz Danced his way onto the stage with them. They quickly bonded with him due to their combined love of music. Caz quickly joined the duo and they officially decided to make themselves a band called The Voice of the Dragon. The three of them spent quite a lot of time together over the course of a year and grew quite close to each other, until that fateful day.
After the Tragedy that was Blood bay and Losing Violet, Axel’s Mental health took a nosedive and over the course of a season Axel would stop eating stay cooped up either in a room if they were in a town or would climb a tree knowing it was difficult for anyone to bother him while he was up there, It all came to a head one day when Caz had left to go gather supplies before a long trip to the next town Axel wrote up a letter before attempting to hang himself, and as the life was draining from his body and his vision fading to black Caz returned having forgotten his coin pouch although the thought of supply shopping was quickly discarded when he saw what Axel was trying to do, Caz cut the rope holding Axel as he slumped unconscious into Caz’s arms.
When Axel Woke up a massive argument came from Axel’s attempt on his own life this argument being the second time Axel ever used his unique ability to channel sound waves.
Caz
Over the past while you have become like a brother to me but I am sorry I cannot continue anymore, that day haunts me more and more every day, I wake up expecting her to be here and she's not, I hear her in every song we play I see Him killing her every night and I know I can't go on living like this It is time for me to wake up from this never ending nightmare I am sorry my friend my brother this is goodbye
Look after the band
Axel
It took quite some time but eventually Axel and Caz started playing music together again although Axel never was himself again always putting on a mask of cheerfulness resorting to anger quicker then he used to this trend would continue even when they finally visited the Capital of Ultarn, Ventris they weren’t there long though as after their first show mostly just to have a place to stay they were spoken to by a fortune teller that Axel didn’t really believe or trust although got angry when her game of cards ending up painting an accurate story. After that while Caz got hit on Axel explored the city and after a night of hijinks Caz and Axel found themselves on a small boat with the woman that was hitting on Caz after dealing with some Assassins/bandits the three of them arrived at another boat that would take them to Ignis and one step closer to Axel’s Goal.
