Zoma - The Scarred Soldier
-
Zoma hailed from a distant continent, far away from the lands of Faerun. The man grew up in the age of strife, where constant civil war had always been existent in his homeland.
Like many other children, Zoma was orphaned when he was a child and taken into an orphanage. In his childhoohd days, the only warmest memories he had was the time he spent with his new found family in the orphanage. That was until, tragedy struck him as the new chapter of his life began.
The House Of Nogardis, one of the families that was participating in the civil war raided the orphange Zoma resided in. The adults were not left alive in the skirmish, and all of the children were taken back to the Nogardis camp. From here on, Zoma's nightmares began.
The children were forced to become child soldiers. The weak ones were disposed of, while the strong ones were allowed to live. This was done by filtering out the candidates in the process of 'The Last Man Standing'. Children were placed in the arenas, with weapons in hands and were forced to kill off each other. Those who disobeyed, would suffer.
Zoma managed to pass the test to be part of the Nogardis soldiers, but not without a significant impact in his life. He chosed to kill his families at the arena instead of death. He remembered his best friend, the last family member he killed, smiled to him along with his dying words:
"Zoma…live... I don't hate you... don't forget us..."
By the age of 10, Zoma had become a man, an adult, a soldier of Nogardis. His heart however, turned cold, devoid of any emotions. The boy suddenly lost his purpose to live, with the only reason why he's still alive was because he had to uphold to his best friend's last words.
Not long after Zoma became a soldier, he rose up in ranks quickly as his performance excelled in every campaigns of the war. By the age of 19, he had been granted the highest honor name a soldier serving in Nogardis can have: 'Nogardis'. An irony, since Zoma had became a part of the family who he had loathed for in his entire life...
The war eventually ended, with the House Of Nogardis as the final victor. Strangely, not long after, the entire family of the Nogardis were murdered. The killer was never found, but it was rumoured that he was the most trusted personal guards of the family who contributed largely to the success of the war campaign.
It was also said that he had taken a ship to flee to a distant lands by the name of Faerun. The man was seen to bear many ugly scars on his face, especially in one particular on his face, that ran across his left blind eye. His hair was an outstanding silver, and his right good eye wore a cold icy expression...
