Onyx Ob Stygian

Onyx Ob Stygian is a mercenary who currently runs Just The Jesters alongside Jayant2K as well as Crew Of Cracksmen with Sov568. He is also the current Thane of Norvos.

Origins
Onyx was born into a poor family in Fornost. His mother and father were both in their 30s when he was concieved, they barely had enough money to care for him, but they would put everything they could into raising him, even at the expense of their own health. As he grew up he would take sketchy gigs to try to raise money to take care of his parents, but as time went on it got harder for the family to make money. At 16 he made the decision to become a Jester from an idea a friend gave him, he always had a interest in comedy, and he knew he wouldn't make enough money to get by, but he thought that maybe he could make money doing something he enjoyed.

The Jester Days
Onyx's jester days were awful, it was a 6 year journey through pain and misery, barely making enough to care for his aging parents and constantly being ridiculed by those who were living the life he wanted to live. All of his friends eventually abandoned him cause he couldnt make time to attend social events. Constant working and zero pay, it wasnt what he thought it would be, not at all. It was a feeling of dissapointment, he never did anything necessarily wrong, he always stuck to his morals and would treat everyone fairly, so why would he be treated otherwise? Why did these people act like they were above him?

A life of mediocrity
His life was the same for a while, each day felt like a year, each year felt like centuries. He would do the same thing, every single day. Eventually his mother turned ill. The weeks of her illness were the hardest times of his life, him and his father couldn't afford to take care of her, and she eventually passed. Her last few days were heartbreaking to him. She was a shell of who she was before, she barely said anything comprehensible, and everytime he tried to speak to her she would ignore him, as if he wasnt there. She would stare into nothing, as if he wasnt there, as if they were in two different worlds. The day she passed he couldnt even be there for her.
