Age: 18
Affiliation: Silver / Silver Army (soldier)
Bio: -First was an orphan in Platina that was picked up by House Golden – particularly, about six or seven years ago, Ellaice had taken a liking to him and brought him into the House.
-Unfortunately, death would’ve been kinder – Ellaice in her twisted sense of determining worth, tortured him senselessly.
-Most preteen girls like to pretend they’re princesses or have ponies… but Ellaice wanted to be just like her Mom and be queen of the torture chambers. Unfortunately for First, this meant that Ellaice had so many things she wanted to try out.
-As part of her test to see if he was worth living, she burned a fox mask to his face.
-The cruelty of it all is that she purposefully made sure it didn’t fit him, so the eye holes go right above his eyes!
-But she’s not totally mean about it… she ripped the mask off the lower half of his face so he could still break some food and slip it under to eat! (When his fingers weren’t snapped that is)
-He survived everything Ellaice threw at him – whether it was starvation or isolation in the dungeons, branding, bones being broken…
-All the while, First watched Ellaice’s other ‘toys’ lose their lives or succumb to the pain of it all…
-Eventually, with no rhyme or reason to why she decided it, Ellaice determined he was one of the few men that deserved to live.
-Whatever name he had before didn’t matter. She renamed him ‘First’. The very First to have survived of course! (She had thought about naming him ‘one’, but thought that was too cliché)
-Ellaice oscillated between wanting to use him as a footrest and wanting to see an essentially blind man learn to fight—being an orphan in House Golden meant he had some ability to fend for himself, of course.
-Eventually she decided he wasn’t comfortable enough as her footrest and sent him off to the Silver Army.
-She forgot about her pet project, having moved onto others, until the war announcement. She told him that if he can get the most kills of any soldier, she’ll give him a special prize!
-But First doesn’t care about any of that. In fact, his fellow comrades-in-arms are fairly certain he doesn’t care about anything at all.
-He may not have died from the torture, but any sense of personality or being he had did die in the time he was under Ellaice’s thumb.
-That said, the only thing that can make him even remotely active is when he’s in battle. Despite being ‘blind’, First is a formidable fighter—not because he’s a master in any particular fighting style, but because he won’t stop until there is no more opponent, or until he’s dead.
-First doesn’t say much, but he sleeps alone because he frequently wakes up in a violent fit from nightmares. He nearly killed one of his fellow soldiers this way.
-Truth be told, he’s probably more of a liability than anything… but his condition has made people terrified of crossing Ellaice, and Ellaice wants to see just how far he’ll go!
