Once, there lived a man. Fighters could study his battles, barbarians would pray to him for strength, martial artists could only awe in presence of his agility. Beast of battle, unstoppable engine of destruction, pinnacle of a warrior. Berserk, the First Undefeated. His unyelding attitude and martial prowess earned him attention of particular primordial, Blazing Rorn of the Fury. Through years the two of them became great friends, to the point that Rorn shared some of his inextinguishable rage, that burned brightly on the two of them. None, one or many, could hope to topple his martial might. But where others fail, one come always on top. Time. After learning that Rorn lost eye to a flight of dragons and went into deep slumber, and Aber and Toril were separated, Berserk sought to find his firend and reunite with him. But years went by, and age started to break the undefeated warrior, unsuccesfull in his quest, so he turned to a vicked, lonely man, cursed to live till the end of the time. He agreed to help the warrior in continuing his pursuit. This was not a compassionate man however, he dragged Berserk into his own madness of eternal life, forging him into a set of armor. Iron from his blood, strings from his hair, unstoppable burning rage from his soul. An item that would make a mere peasant equivalent to an army; indestructible and irreformable; knowing nothing else than war; sentient, and mad from passing of time: Berserk's Armor. Normally Berserk never involves himself with those who wear him, leaving their fate in their own ability to preserve it. Even when he is broken into pieces and melted down he remains dormant, knowing all too well that in time, he will be reforged anew. Only when his existence, his very soul is threatened, Berserk emerges, binding himself from his iron body and flaming desire to battle. He fights to win, showing no remorse or hesitation in putting others down. He likes to show his foes just how dependent they are on their weapons, often prying them from his enemies and using them against them. But only the mightiest items can withstand the unreal power he strikes with, breaking even strong magical weapons in the process. Even though he loves the thrill of battle, this is not a reason to lose his head; the methodical and logical way of combat is the only one Berserk uses, pushing advantages wherever he can, at the same time abiding by his own image of fairness. When pushed to the limit, the very concept of invincibility bolsters him, allowing him to shrug all but the mightiest of blows, and his desire to win pushes him ever further to break his enemies. |
