Past Life
Shade is a Shadow who lived in the Seventh Dimension Viotal. His world was corrupted with purple and black Crusion, a metal that is much stronger than Netherite. The inhabitants of Viotal are Shadows of course, and normally a shadow can live up to 800 years, except for the circle of seven, but that's something different.

The Portal
Shade was 112 years old, pretty young for a Shadow, when he found the portal. This portal is more like an altar, and it is used for travelling across the seven dimensions. Because of his young age, he was unexperienced and dumb, so Shade entered the portal. While he was doing this, one of the seven orbs, which is needed to let the altar accessable, fell off a pillar. The portal closed right after the young Shadow entered it. This means Shade can't get back.

New Friends
Shade was stranded in the first dimension, Rathnir. Everything was new to him and also so friendly. The first living thing he met was a young dark elf named Lass. They quickly became friends and Shade began to understand this unknown world. After some time, Lass and Shade decided to become Head Hunters. The duo met a new person named Yan who also wanted to become a mercenary. Their first step of their plan was to build a perfect base for the team, which should be a great spot to hide and comfortable at the same time.

Bad News
Unfortunately, Yan got killed by bandits and this led to the locations being exposed. The remaining two of the triple team had to leave quickly and took away the most valuable items they had. As they fled, Lass and Shade got lost and went their separate ways...

New Beginnings
On Lass and Shade's past journey for a new base, they stumbled across a nation full of medieval buildings and stuff. After the separation of the friends, Shade decided to go to this Nation named Aestyria, hoping Lass would also be there. Unfortunately, he wasn't.

Instead, he found other people who were really nice and asked him to stay. Because of the valuable items Shade took from the Hideout, he managed to buy a house for himself, and made a living out of it. Shade got friends with the people of the nation quickly, and also after his actions of helping to rebuild a town named Andoria, he became a Lord too. He got adopted by Spoken Kaerfels, the one Shade helped rebuilding that town, and that's how he became part of the Family Nobility, and from this moment on his name is Shade Eptaskia Kaerfels.

Shade probably didn't know that the portal's position changes every 100 years. What is hard to believe is that the portal is only a few hundred blocks from Frostarch. And it is more fate than a conicidence that he decided to build his restaurant directly above the cave, and that's how he figured out the position of it. After his discovering, he still had a hard time to find out how to activate it and to finally return to his origins...

One Day, after the resolution of Arcovel into Varandoy and Aestyria, there was an incidence in Domia, a Varandoyan city right next to Frostarch. The citizen of Domia found a mysterious guy in half netherite, who was wandering around and seemed to be looking for something, or someone. They trapped him, because the Domians felt a bit threatened and then they started torturing him. Soon it turned out who this person was. It was Lass! Shade was really happy to finally see him again, even though he is a bit confused why he doesn't want to tell him where he was in the past months.

Reunion
Shade already knew even before he met Lass again that he would've wanted to build a new Hideout, an even bigger one and with much more influence to the outside world. Shade couldn't resist, but he already has plans ongoing like his Inn and the town Andoria. One of his biggest plans was to activate the portal, but he still doesn't know how to manage this... To give yourself a little distraction, he started with some new hobbies. While producing some Jam and Cheese, he also became part of the F.A.G., the The Free Aestyrian Guild of Exploration and Documentation of Ruins and other Abandoned Structures. Basically a scavenging Guild. He managed to become really successful in themes of F.A.G. Trips, and his jackpot loot is worth over 200.000$. Shade's next plans was to finish his Inn, where he still needed a bit of wood, so he asked Lass to accompany him. While chopping Wood, Lass finally wanted to say where he was.

The Journey
After the lost of the Hideout, Lass tried to keep up with Shade, but he fell into a hole what brought him to the second dimension, Deriokras, also known as the Nether for the humans. On his way out he came across some special blocks. Lass showed Shade these blocks and he was surprised by the texture of it. This block looked almost exactly the same as the material in his home dimension Viotal, but it still has different properties than Crusion. The block's name is Crying Obsidian and it's known for their mysteriousness. Shade suspects that the form of the block fits into the hole of the altar, and maybe it could be the key to his way back home. Lass also came across some strange places filled with water. The young dark elf was really confused because his water immediately evaporates after placing. He wanted to look a bit closer, but Lass heard some voices and he ran away in fear of meeting new bandits.

Corruption
Shade felt his chest tighten slightly, but he didn't thought about it too long, and continued his trips of finding more of the crying obsidian, because the amount Lass got wasn't enough to fill the altar. He saw different kinds of building styles, met new people and found secret bases. But none of the contained crying obsidian, which made Shade worry a bit. He started to connect the pain he feels and his long stay in Rathnir. Shade was living in Rathnir too long, and a Shadow like him needs to live in some dark places. All he can do is to speed up his search for Crying Obsidian.

The Changing
One morning after Shade woke up, he felt a horrible pain in his entire body. His eyes, which normally were purple, turned red, and dark-grey horns started to grow on his head. He also felt more... powerful! The exact reason for this change is because of his stay in two completely different dimensions. Rathnir is a dimension full of life and almost without corruption. On the other side is the dark dimension Viotal, populated by mysterious beings and shadows. So basically Rathnir is the complete opposite of Viotal and and vice versa. That means if you have been in these two worlds, only something worse can actually happen. But that only applies to humans. Since Shade is a shadow whose body is very different from a human's body, something completely different happens to him. The result is a transformation into a demon.

Incredible Powers
For the first time in Shade's life, he felt like he was godlike. Emotions start to take control over his mind and most of it is hate. He hates what happened to his friends. He hates the bandits who looted his base and made him suffer. He hates to be weak, and now he wants revenge, revenge against the all evil people. The only way for Shade to accomplish his inner mission was to become a bandit himself.

Of course his friends noticed his change. Some of them became a bit scared, but the others talked to him for a bit of distraction. It worked, his red eyes stopped glowing, but they still stayed red. Shade apologized for his sudden rage, but he still was confused about his new abilities and powers. His goal was still remained, he wants to activate the portal to enter Viotal, his home dimension.
