DestXM

The birth, the dream, the goal


Dest was born and raised in the city of Lakial, the former capital of the great southern province of Astillia in the Aristios Empire. Since he was a little kid he had the big dream of becoming a successful merchant. Dest had a very tough childhood, his family was poor, his biological father died while defending the Empire in The Andoran-Lechjan War.  Since his father's death, Dest had to take care of his mother. He promised her that one day there will be no poor people like them, that the world will be a better place. But to do that, Dest had to have the financial resources. To accumulate wealth, he started mining and re-selling valuables from individuals for a higher price on the auction house. Things were going well for him at first. He always gave donations to the poor people and always contributed to the community.

The unexpected event
One day, en route to Urak, where Dest was selling his goods, because of its rich and populated marketplace, a bandit came out of nowhere and mugged him. He lost everything on that day, except his pickaxe because he offered the bandit his remaining and his only money left to outbid it. Most people would quit, but he didn't.

A new hope
After the terrible incident, he decided to study the life of the bandits. After months of studying, he was amazed by what he found, but he didn't like the fact that bandits steal from the poor and sell it to the rich. So he had an idea - he wanted to become a bandit himself and do the opposite. Steal from the rich and sell their valuables at affordable prices to the poor. His only problem was that he was poor himself and he couldn't fight the upper class, so for him to be able to, he needed a plan, Dest was always interested in magic and potions, so he went on an adventure to learn about the secrets, during his journey a new a place where people were equal - there were no rich and no poor - an autonomous city-state on the territory of Mugen called Jorvick, he liked the city and its government, so he decided to live there, he stayed there to rest from his long travel, but he had to continue. A few days later he found a place called Kinnomachi, a small town that sold potions. He asked the owner if he had potions that could harm people, the response he got was disappointing for him, he wasn't trusted enough to know the secrets. He offered to help with the town in return they tell him the recipe for potions such as Harm and Poison, they agreed. He worked there for a long time and during his stay there he kept on researching bandits and how can he become one. Three months later, the owner of Kinnomachi decided to tell him the secrets, he wrote them down so he wouldn't forget any of them. When he came back to Jorvick he used all of the money that he accumulated during his time in Kinnomachi to create a brewing room where he can start making his potions. His only problem left was armor, which he sorted out quickly after mining for hours and selling all of his goods. In the end, the big day came. He was fully ready with his equipment, just needed to apply to become a bandit.

The Duel
Due to his constant training, Dest was an extraordinary duelist. He quickly made his way into the Bandits Guild where he needed to go through a hard duel to prove his strength in order to become a bandit. The duel began and he demolished his opponent using Dark Magic, but Dest wasn't only good because of his Magic abilities, he also mastered swordsmanship and considered himself one of the best swordsmen in Eldham. The bandits were shocked. They had to make him one of them immediately.

A new life
Dest, now a bandit, was enjoying his new lifestyle. The first bandit he met in the Guild, who stayed his friend to the end, was BeeKayGodd. They used to raid towns together, but Dest enjoyed banditing alone the most as he was trained as a Duelist. His biggest adventure takes place at Aohama, a small island, guarded by two soldiers. Their armor was made entirely by netherite, which was a phenomenon at that time. Dest needed a plan on how to defeat them, so he had a genius idea to act drunk and fool their attention. By using this trick, he managed to take them out without a problem.

Dest's Infamous sword is named The Corrupted Ashbringer. A fine runeblade, assembled by the Forgemaster Lathien. The sword itself is named that way because whenever its holder defeats someone - their opponent would eventually turn to ash''. On the blade there were the following words   He who lives by the blade dies by the blade '' engraved. Dest corrupted the runeblade, making it more efficient, by using a variety of poisons.

 

From this point on Dest started receiving recognition, people started to call him "Robin Hood", because he made donations to the poor. Everything was going perfect until he met Shirokaneza, a bandit hunter community. The only fear Dest had was the Bandit hunters community because he knew he couldn't defeat all of them. He started being more careful during his fights.

The Battles with Grassioso's Army
One day, Dest was wandering around with his good friend BeeKayGodd in the open, searching for people until they saw a town named Stoneport. They quickly used some of the potions Dest had - a levitation potion to get on top of the walls where they could scout the citizens. They didn't know it was a trap. They were expected. Suddenly BeeKay was attacked by a group of soldiers. Their numbers were growing rapidly. It wasn't just a group of soldiers. Dest and BeeKay were ambushed by the army. Dest reacted quickly and jumped to help his friend, but they were too many. Unfortunately, Beekey was defeated, but Dest managed to kill two of them and escape.

A few days later, Dest had the idea of going to Stoneport again and avenge his friend as he was confident in his skills. When he got there he got attacked immediately. It was almost as if they were waiting for his return. They've put up a great fight, but Dest was clearly outnumbered and was eventually defeated for the first and last time. He only managed to outbid his sword back while the rest of his gear was sold on the market.

The fame and wealth
After his defeat, Dest was getting even more recognition to the point where he became very famous. Mayors were paying him to unsure that he won't raid their towns. One day, he met DireWolf. A bandit hunter that joined the Bandits Guild. They had much in common and they used to raid towns a lot together, but Dest still bandited alone most of the time. 7 months passed and Dest became one of the richest people in Eldham. By robbing the rich people and selling it cheaply to the poor, he managed to accumulate the dreamed wealth. The boy has finally made his dream come true. His mother would be very proud of him if she was still alive. When he became a bandit, he promised himself that he would not be overwhelmed by money and fame. He wanted to stick to his principles. Unfortunately, money and power are a deadly combination, enough to doom even the man with the purest heart.

The fall
One day, Dest was doing his daily routine of getting prepared for another day of banditing. He had a couple of good raids and some bad ones. It was a normal day until he and Dire decided to go through a portal that took them to the Nether dimension. Where they met some bandit hunters. The two factions hated each other so much that it was going to get dirty. Dest and Dire decided to fight them by using Dark Potions. They were forbidden in fights of how overpowered they were. But Dest was sick and tired of Shiro. He made his biggest mistake. Little did he know what they were doing was strictly against the bandit rules. Shortly after Dest and Dire had their Bandit privileges removed, and also be banished for the next two months. Everything went down. It happened so quickly - once Dest had everything, and now he had nothing. From a notorious bandit to a banished man. They had to take it as a lesson.

The purgatory
Dest spend the next two months in purgatory, where he was isolated from Eldham. He spent those two months training so he doesn't lose shape. During that time he also focused on other things that didn't evolve martial arts, such as building. One of his dreams was to build a massive house, but his building skills were limited. That was the only activity that made him forget about the accident.

The Comeback
Dest's comeback was unknown to the people, but whenever they found out he was back, they were happy for him. Now, as he was finally back, there were many places he wanted to visit. Firstly, he visited his small house, where he had a lot of farms. After that, Dest wanted to visit his friends that were all in Barbossa. There, he was pleased to be greeted amazingly and also received an invitation to join the Pirates, which he gladly accepted.

After some time, Dest was overwhelmed by emptiness because he was unemployed and didn't know what to do. He decided to find a job. The only qualification he had was that he was a great duelist, so he decided to search for jobs that involved fighting. He went all around Eldham asking people, but he wasn't interested in anything. He had some options in his mind however, one of those was bandit-hunting, but he quickly scrapped his idea because he had his principles. He would never betray his Bandit friends like that even though he was harshly punished by them.

BeeKay was always supporting Dest. He was a good friend but was older than him. BeeKay wanted him and Dest to be relatives, so he adopted him. That made him part of the Decapitatore Pirate Mafia.

The unexpected meeting
Dest was on the edge of quitting fighting for good and find another job. He was a good merchant and he wasn't clueless about what he was doing. It was in the middle of the summer. One warm afternoon, a mysterious guy named Catylist wanted to speak to Dest about something important. He offered Dest to become a part of The Patrician Guard, the Uraki Special Forces. The offer was quickly accepted as it was the closest thing to his bandit past. Dest was now an Uraki soldier.

The forgiveness?
While walking around in Barbossa, he saw a poster from the  Bandits Guild  searching for new skilled fighters to take the role of a bandit. Dest knew he had the skills for it, he needed to become  Robin Hood  once again as the people needed him. He remembered his biggest goal. To open a shop with resources he gathered from banditing. He realized he never got to the point of making that dream come true. He sold his loot on the auction house, but he didn't have his own place. Dest had a place, a small plot in GoldHaven he received as a gift from Catania. He wanted to settle once and for all. He had to become a bandit again and fulfill his childhood dream. He knew getting his bandit privileges was going to be hard, almost impossible, but he knew he was a good human that deserved a second chance. Dest had nothing to lose so he decided to go on a journey back to the Bandit's Guild. For him to get in time there he had to go now, but it would be impossible to go there on a horseback, so he took one of Barbossa's ships. Fourteenhours later, he managed to get to the try-outs on time. He just had to wait for his turn.
