Skallagrim, Silvac [F]

HISTORY:
→ Silvac was born in one of the smaller hospitals in Newchester, his mother was overjoyed that she had a son. While his early years were not easy they were certainly filled with both love and joy from his father who worked at the local library as a helper. It was fairly easy for the father to keep an eye on his sole child whilst at work since Silvac loved to read(or at least look at the pictures). Silvac made sure that he didn't bother his father during working hours the best he could since he knew how busy it was during daylight hours.

A couple years later Silvac's father got a promotion from helper to the front desk; this meant that he would spend less time catering to Silvac's needs and more to the customers. Silvac made sure to avoid the front area so he would not worry his father during the day. This is probably one of the small reasons why Silvac learned how to speak Cretan(other than killing time) since his father had taught him only a smattering of the language it seemed like a good idea to at least understand the language. Lucky for Silvac his mother had free time and took it upon herself to teach him how to at least speak Cretan better than what his father had taught him.

After a few more years Silvac was well versed in both his native tongue and in Cretan; even though the young man seldom spoke he still understood which was half the battle in any situation on itself.. At this time Silvac was only fourteen; not quite old enough to take care of himself which meant that someone had to. Thankfully one of his uncles lived in Newchester and took it upon himself to teach the young man how to live... By fighting. His mother and father didn't approve but Silvac wished to at least know how to defend himself if the worst would happen. The mother and the father understood this and allowed for it even though they didn't like it.

Through a mix of his father and his uncle the young man was turning out to be quite the librarian since he had no other aspirations than just to quietly direct the library from behind the scenes. His uncle Continued to teach him how to use some weapons(mostly smaller weapons but a few larger ones) even though that Silvac felt it was a waste of time until he had the luck(or misfortune depending on how you see it...) to stop a small time robbery at one of the local convenient stores that he was in. Even though it was small it felt like the biggest stepping stone in his life.

It was around the time that Silvac was eighteen that he found something he wished he could of never seen. Two men drawing some sort of marking around a struggling man; next to several different types of animals. Silvac recognized what they were doing as alchemy; he however did not recognize them as locals so that must of meant that they were out of area alchemists. Silvac watched with growing horror as they placed the animals in certain areas on the circle they had made around a now struggling(somewhat feebly) man. After a few minutes of some sort of preparation there was a blinding light that caused Silvac to loose his footing and fall backwards letting out a surprised yelp. After the light died down Silvac noticed that the alchemists were looking around for the noise. When they saw him; Silvac had no choice but to draw his battleaxe and hope that he could beat them.

After a brief struggle Silvac was rendered unconscious, he really had no chance against the two alchemists. It took only a couple minutes for the alchemists to set things up for their next transmutation; and in those few minutes Silvac slowly came to full consciousness. He tried to get them to let him go but that just made them strike at him so that he'd be quiet. Chastened he watched them put down a great white shark with some strange apparatus around it's gills.. The next thing they put down was a Komodo dragon, it wasn't responding to the touch of the alchemists but it did lazily glance over at Silvac before flicking it's tongue. The last creature they placed around Silvac was a struggling wolf that was trying it's damnedest to get free. The two alchemists took their places around the circle and within moments they brought a fierce shining light to Silvac's entirety...

Silvac next woke up with a wrenching pain and the drive of different animals backing him, his clothes lay around his now large form in tatters. The two alchemists stood smug over the new creature they had created; they had no idea how much danger they were in. The first one didn't even get to scream as Silvac tore their throat out and then force fed it to the man. The second one clapped his hands but he was never able to finish what he had planned as Silvac drove his hand straight through the man's skull with a force far surpassing normal humans strength. After a few hours of tearing at the two bodies of the men Silvac's rage died down and he calmly took in his new body. It possessed so much more than his old one did but he had no idea what he should do next. He was forced to flee when some men in uniform knocked the door down to find him standing over the two now shredded corpses.

Silvac spent the night wandering the town trying to get his bearings; his memory was distant as though much of what he had endured had not even happened. His mother's and his father's faces were very dim but he could recall their eye colors easily. He couldn't remember much more than that; he knew he'd never be able to go back to the life he had before but he felt as though he must go find them. It took him nearly five hours to find his way to the library. Lucky for Silvac his father was the one opening it on this Sunday morning; however his luck stopped when the man that Silvac recognized as his father did not do the same for his son. Instead the man drove Silvac back claiming him to be a beast and no son of his. Heartbroken Silvac fled and tried to find his mother who he knew would still be residing at home.

His mother was much more accepting after Silvac talked to her (albeit after struggling to speak for almost a whole hour.) he explained to her what happened and eventually she gave him some clothing that would fit his larger body. Much of what she gave him was worn by people who were in gangs or just liked hiding their faces. He was thankful that his mother was so accepting but he was greatly saddened when she told him that he would have to leave their home. She gave him some food and bid him farewell; Silvac never understood how his mother knew it was him either. So he spent most of the three years of his new found body in the underground of Newchester; too afraid of going out amongst the real people. He occasionally forges outside of the city limits for deer or on the rare occasion bears wherever he can find them.

Silvac was lucky enough to pick the store that he did during the night a few months ago, he met a person by the name of Valdis Raghild whom he befriended and became rather smitten with after a small arm wrestling match behind the store which followed up with the both of them hunting bears a short time after. They parted ways promising to meet one another again after Valdis received word that her pudding factory was in need of her again. Silvac remembers that night as one of the best nights of his current situation, he'll always hold Valdis's friendship slightly higher than most others.

About a month later Silvac was traveling through the great desert and managed to stumble across ruins there. He engaged in a brief fight with some bandits that led him to meet a homunculi By the name of pride. Silvac was fully prepared to fight him but it turned out that he was friendly. They exchanged a rather decent conversation and after some time of spending company with one another agreed that they would meet again under more favorable conditions. It took him almost a full month to be able to leave the desert but with luck that had been uncommon for most of his life let him find his way out.

After a few weeks of travel Silvac came to the east part of the city of Amestris where his innocence was tested. He attempted to help a near death child to the hospital for a doctor but upon arriving at the hospital his efforts were cut short by a small man by the name of red. Regardless of what Silvac did the small man didn't go down and after a brutal fight Silvac lost his left arm at the shoulder down. Silvac cannot remember what happened after that point because of the bleeding, red no longer had interest in one that could not feel the pain of their wounds and left. When the authorities arrived they took the battered Silvac into a custody that eventually led to him being tortured for quite some time till he was lucky enough to escape with the help of some strange people. They worked quickly to get him an auto-mail arm even though he was a chimera, Silvac owes them a life debt and took their scents so that he would be able to tell whom they were if they ever met again.

After nearly two months later Silvac was in the great city of Kyoto, he had traveled there by hitching a ride on a plane and managing to land there. He was trying to get back to Newchester but his luck had run out the moment he had met that cursed little man back in Amestris. Dodging local authorities for nearly two full days he was finally rewarded with luck of meeting a woman by the name of Aiko Shimizu. She gave him clothes and offered to take him back to her home for what Silvac assumed was a safe haven away from all the smaller people that were chasing him. After a short amount of time he was introduced to a translator that was able to let Aiko and Silvac talk for a short time. Soon after he was introduced to a young girl by the name of NIN who was selling cookies for the local girl scouts. After a decent period of time Silvac left the safe haven of Aiko's home and proceeded on his journey.

After another few weeks of hopping planes ,trains and boats Silvac arrived in Vaingloria of the country of Gelemorté. Silvac was quickly apprehended here by a superior force of police officers equipped with both stun guns and batons that had electric coatings. After a brief fight Silvac was subdued and transferred to a medium class prison. He is currently stuck there awaiting what is going to happen to him....

After an insane turn of event's Silvac was sprung out of the prison that held him; he spent a brief time with the pirates that had broken him out of the prison and did his best to pay them back. To say the least he was very disappointed when his captain and the first mate disappeared from his scent pool. This drove him mad for a few weeks trying desperately to find them. After he failed he begun to travel more and more (even though he said to himself he had moved on it was quite obvious h had not.)

It was mere weeks late that he was picked up by some military recruitment officers and his existence was brought to the attention of their superiors. Through yet another crazy turn of events he was granted a brief time as leader of naval forces for Gelmorte. This time was spent mostly on a ship that was in the yards for years upon years. This ship was eventually brought back without the Naval leader on board. Silvac head done what he thought right and jumped off of it, using both his ability to breathe water and swim rapidly to put distance between him and the military. He has no doubt that they were going to hunt him. He has no idea that they believe him lost at sea and have more than likely already assigned a new leader to that branch of military.

After his brief time in the military silvac returned to the area which he had met a homunculi by the name of Pride. This creature had spent a very very small amount of time with Silvac after a skirmish with some of the bandits there. He spent the latter of a week trying to find supplies and happened to stumble on a camp next to what appeared to be a old water plant near a dryed out oasis. It only took a few hours to clear the place and Silvac already had found enough supplies (canned and dehydrated food mostly) as well as a large reserve of water that was kept clean by the last bit of auxiliary power the plant had available.

It wasn't long before he met the final Resident of this plant, a very weathered man whom was on his last few days. Unable to keep the plant running he offered Silvac a home there when he passed. Not willing to pass by a chance of a home for at least a few months Silvac agreed. It was four days later that the man died and left Silvac with the permission to the plant. Since Silvac cannot read he couldn't decipher the wrap of paper the man had given him. He tries his best to look at what appears to be a map to him; failing at this he finds himself wandering the plant and local area to better understand both himself.... And the world he has been cast into.

After several long months of self imposed exile after the man that he had met in the plant Silvac eventually made his way back into civilization. Wether or not the world thought he was dead didn't exactly matter to him anymore. He claimed back his families ancestral blade that lay with his father's body. Upon making his return to a very familiar city he set out to find the woman he had become so smitten with... And propose. While many people that had come into the streets seeing a rather well dressed beast man wouldn't soon forget him. Whenever one would propose to someone of either greater status or of equal one a gift of some form would be needed past the ancestral blade he carried. It was in his luck that he would come across a damn bear. To say the least the both of them exchanged many a blow before the bear was brought out of the realm of the living.

With the bear in tow silvac brought it to where he knew his future wife would be. Her company headquarters, she had gone on about it when they had first crossed path's and it had bored into his skull as far as location went. To say the least many a person within eye and earshot were not too terribly pleased when a bear was dumped into their lobby. Much less by a six foot ten beast man. With a small grin he informed the clerk that sat at the desk that Ms. Raghild's  2:00 was here.

Over the course of the next few months it would take a bit of work for the two to come to more of an understanding. They did indeed get married, even if Validis had said no Silvac would of likely kept trying until she said yes. The wedding while rather over the top was non the less how weddings usually are. Happy, filled to the brim with food and holding at least two people that are pretty much the happiest folks on the planet for the moment of "Oneness".

The next twenty five or so years were by far the happiest that Silvac had ever felt in his life. He was blessed with the opportunity to partake in his own companies creation. It was a cigar company mainly made for medical herbal purposes. Some of the products sold did quite well while other's flopped. Several years of struggling happened up until Validis's company bought out his and released a rather popular chocolate flavored cigar.  Knowing that he failed Silvac made sure that he would at least be able to help out around the company the best the massive beast man could. Which to say the least usually would be in the loading docks where many of the workers were quite taken back by his sudden appearance.

On Silvac's off-time he did the best he could to further bettering himself by getting an education. Since he was stuck with an auto-mail arm himself the Chimerae simply concluded that would be where he best could invest his time in. Very shortly after completing his education he spent all manner of money on producing a solely beneficial auto-mail design for people like him. Wether or not they would be successful would indeed be told by time.
