Family: Abandoned at birth. Raised by a tribe of Shadow Casters, they were destroyed when he was fourteen.
Abandoned by his biological parents at birth, Vile was adopted by a small tribe of mages who studied the art of Black Magic. The leader of the tribe realized the child's potential and buried a tribal treasure- a fragment of Soul Edge- deep in his body. Over the years, Vile willingly allowed two more shards of the Evil Seed to be magically implanted within him. Growing up learning how to control evil gave the young boy an understanding of how to suppress the raw power within him. However, the colossal power of Soul Edge had a drastic effect on Vile's mind.
He would drift into fits of evil power where his emotions would run wild, one moment crying uncontrollably and the next trying to kill clans-members. After one fit when he was fourteen, he succeeded in killing two of the tribe members. When he came down from his surge, he, of course, felt remorse for what he had committed, and demanded he be exiled from the tribe. They did not exile him, but instead- with Vile's full permission- shackled him to a stone wall with chains imbued with White Magic so he could not escape. Most of the tribe opposed this rash method of restraint, but Vile himself would not allow anyone to free him.
Soon after, a war suddenly broke out between his tribe and another, and both were wiped out. For months he hung from the underground wall, no one hearing his weak calls for help. His body was fatigued and malnourished, but the fragments of Soul Edge within his body would not let him die.
Five months passed before an alchemist wit the name of Isabella Valentine came to the underground dungeon in search of alchemy tools. The evil energy resonating from Vile's body had attracted her there. She freed the unconscious young boy and when he came to he thanked her deeply.
"Now kill me," he ordered the woman in a strained voice, then once again fell unconscious.
The woman did not intend to kill the boy, nor did she understand why he yearned for death. But when she touched him to bring him to a safer place, the feeling of evil energy radically increased and his bare skin scorched her hands. This boy could not be touched. Knowing ho he wanted death, and perhaps now understanding why, she did what she could to fulfill his request and left him there.
Vile awoke later very much alive and cursed the woman for not eliminating him. He returned to the upper world, temporarily blinded by the now unfamiliar light, to find his village in ruin and bereft of any life.
He thought to himself, "All I know is darkness," and returned to his underground prison. There he would protect the world from his cursed body. He remained there for years doing all he knew how to do- hone his sword skills with the blade he made with shadow magic.
For five years he trained in solitude underground, learning to control his fits of evil energy and mastering the broadsword. One day after warding off a surge of power, a man with a large scythe appeared before him.
He spoke these words: "You, who has joined with sword, if you seek freedom from your pain, you must walk the path of evil."
Before Vile could find out how this man knew of his pain, he vanished. Vile did not trust this man, but if he knew what Vile felt, he must know more. He spoke of "the sword." Was he talking about The Sword of Salvation that had become one with Vile? That's what Vile needed- salvation.
Would Vile walk the path of evil as the man with the scythe said? No. No matter how revolting he saw himself, or how much he despised his existence, Vile knew he was not evil.
So, with his shadow-crafted sword in hand, a now nigh-unstoppable warrior stepped out into the light once more. He would acquire Soul Edge- his salvation- in order to lift his curse and rid the world of his atrocious soul. Vile would stop at nothing to reach his objective.
This is his story.
Don't worry. Chapter one will be up very soon. Anyway, what do you think of the intro?
