DrStudi Player Information
DrStudi (also known as "DrSus") is a staff member and player on the Stoneworks Server. He joined on Rathnir the 16th of May and on Eldham since it started. He is also known because of his activity in the global chat of Eldham.

Childhood
Marus Ludwig of Maxim was a Krobuny male born in the Order Müvielle near Spruce Harvest. He was always fascinated with warfare and weapons and always dreamed of being a knight. He already wielded big weapons in his early youth and became very skilled with them.

Teen years
In his later years he became even more skilled with weaponry and started to show an interest in ships and unnatural phenomona. He got accepted into the army and was trained by Gre'en Leyla-Earcala during the reconquista of Najer.

A while after that he even built a ship, known as "The Sussy Pearl". With that he later travelled to Eldham.

Early Adulthood
Marus started to be more and more interested in the unnatural and started doing experiments. This lead to Incident-05 which shaped his personality and physical appearance. While this was happening he became one of the best fighters in the Simulami Empire. He has beaten many of the most skilled fighters in trainings and even his former trainer Gre'en Leyla-Earcala. Long after the discovery and colonization he was also appointed to Royal Regent of the Simulami Empire in the lands of Eldham. He also created his own town of Riverfeld and became a huge potato enthusiast.

But his psychological state also changed much. He became Paranoid and stopped trusting many people. Due to that he became more isolated and lives very lonely in his town of Riverfeld.

Experiment - 01
The first Experiment by Marus where he tried to test the power of soul flames. To test that, he killed his own dog by burning it in soul fire and extracting info of the soul soil. He found out that remnants of the soul remain in the soul soil.

Experiment - 02
The second Experiment made him analyze the reports of others. He often heard that sometimes terrible screams can be heard from soul sand and soul soil. After some studying he realized that you can only hear the screams of entities you have known. Terrified by that thought, he realized that he already experienced that, making a test obsolete.

Experiment - 03
The third experiment was an unintentional find. While trying to get more soul sand and soul soil, he fell and was impaled by one of the sharp bones of one of the fossils. He was stuck but he survived. As he screamed in pain, the ground opened and the fossils slowly sunk into the depths, while Marus was left above. Seemingly, Soul sand is self aware and could hear him, saving his life.

Experiment - 04
The fourth experiment was started due to the result of Experiment 03. He wanted to find out how smart the soul sand was, and if it may still have the mind of the people that died on it. Not many people died in the very empty Soul sand valleys, so he started to think about the strong winds that appear in the Nether. He found out that Soul sand valleys transport the consciousness via the particles in the air that get blowed from Valley to Valley. The soul seems to take over the entire Valley or split it with the other souls.

Experiment - 05 / Incident - 05
The fifth and last experiment was the attempt to talk with souls. The procedure was to burn Soul sand and have it in a form of gas. Marus used a very complicated method, that he was not able to replicate ever again, to heat up the soul sand. It was intended that he would bring the Gas on paper, but instead he breathed it in. His vision faded and he fell into soul fire. He nearly died but had the soul that was kept in the soul sand became part of Marus, making him share the control between the two. His right arm was turned completely skeletal and most of his torso was badly burned. His left Eye was badly damaged because of the light, due to that, he had to remove it. The Soul Gas destroyed his mind, he started to hallucinate and became slowly insane and unstable.
