- a rogue wearing dark, richly adorned robes and a white bandito over his face walks up to the table and sits down cross-legged - - he pulls down his bandito, revealing a short beard, and begins to speak - My story ... it has been many Yuris since I myself thought about it, and I do not think I have ever once recalled it aloud. 'saint,' they call me ... That, however, is not my name. My name is Akiharu Addams. I was born in Yuri 77, Fall, the twin of a brother named Vheissu Addams. Yes, Yuri was getting older then, and Koguryo was changing. My brother and I saw from an early age that we needed to get to work immediately. Throughout the Fall of Yuri 77, we did all of our minor duties. I also pursued a path, however. A line of work, we can call it. That is the reason I began going by this name, the reason my true ancestry has never been shown. Things were going well for my brother and I. My work was going well as planned, and I was training constantly with my brother. This continued until Yuri 81, the Yuri I left Koguryo, and would not come back for many moons. My elder brother, COFfan, had to travel far away from Koguryo, for reasons I cannot disclose. He had great strength, but his teachings did not agree with violence, so I was to accompy him for the voyage. The journey was completed with only minor setbacks and ambushes, an easy trip. After I parted ways with COFfan, though, I found and befriended a man they called 'Rom.' Judging by his character, I would be very surprised if that were his real name. His name is not important, though. Rom learned of the work I did and decided to take me in as his student. Rom was a master of the art of 'fawce,' a form of manipulation that focuses on systematically breaking down the mind of one person for control. After learning and excelling under Rom, I began working in the distant lands, soon becoming very successful. During these times, my brother and I always remained in contact. In Hyul 7 he formerly joined the ranks of the Addams Ancestry, under the current Head, our Elder brother Lancin. Shortly after, he decided to take the trip I did to pay me a visit. After meeting Rom and learning of what I had become there, he decided to take an extended stay to see what we could accomplish together. What would happen in the following Hyul's would go down in history in those lands. The three of us, Vheissu, Rom, and myself, helped start one of the greatest groups of revolutionaries and intellectuals ever to created. Hinged on the collaboration of Rom and another rogue named Venoxis, we were all very successful. We would remain with that group until Hyul 17, Fall, when Vheissu would receive a letter from Rogule, our acting messenger. The letter, from a family friend named Efren, carried the news of the death of our elder brother Lancin, current Head of Addams. This meant that because Vheissu was the only direct descendant officially recorded in the family, he was to assume Head of Addams Ancestry. We were forced to leave our close friends, and return to Koguryo. - the rogue gets up and leaves the room for a moment, returning with some tea. he takes a sip and sighs -
- the rogue sets the cup down and begins to speak again -
My brother and I arrived back in Koguryo in Hyul 18, Spring. While my brother was off to take care of family business and locate it's members, I married my former lover and contacted my old employers. I was hired again almost immediately, and have since grown significantly in my work using the art I learned from Rom.
Meanwhile, Vheissu was quick to get our Ancestry in order. He has been named the new Head of Addams Ancestry, and I am finally filling my place in the Addams Family tree. I am Akiharu Addams, one of two younger brothers to former Head Lancin Addams, twin brother to Current Assumed Head of Addams Ancestry, Vheissu Addams.
