I’m genuinely interested in reading some people’s OC backstories so lets hear em!
I’ll start with mine:
Erwen "Iron Steel" Bell
My Warlord file “Iron Steel”:
Erwen Bell, who is famously known as Iron Steel is is a 58 year-old retired explorer. Currently, he is looking for his daughter Stella Bell, known as “Stella Steel”. Stella Bell or her counterpart “Stella Steel” is decently well-known in the Agora papers as a villain. Erwen Bell is attempting to find his daughter in order to set her straight as her father.
The Backstory:
(12 Years-Old)
Erwen Bell was a small boy living on a relatively unknown island in the Dark Sea. Erwen’s father, Drew Bell, is a well-known sailor in the village they lived at who often provided fish for the whole village (very small; around 50 people at most). Erwen was fascinated by his father’s work and always sailed along with him to learn things about the surrounding world.
One night, after sneaking out of his home to look at his father’s ships, Erwen saw a glimpse of light through the dark fog barrier of the Dark Sea. Curious of the light, Erwen attempted to investigate by taking one of his father’s ships (something he was often told not to do). Erwen lowered the sail to get closer to the light, as to investigate it, however something unexpected happened. With a look of horror, Erwen turned to the sail and saw it stuck. Attempting to fix the sail, Erwen struggles in a tug-of-war against the rope to pull the sail up, but alas Erwen fails in this endeavor. With no other ideas, Erwen screamed for his father, who was fast asleep. Erwen’s father did not hear his calls and after hours of screaming, Erwen passed out.
A loud noise knocks Erwen out of his slumber, the boat had crashed into an island. This island, which eventually becomes known as Harvest Island is where Erwen would be living for the next few days. At first, Erwen attempts to look for human life, but the place seems to be barren of any living humans, only the bright smell of trees and seawater surrounded him. Erwen decided that he would harvest for food that he could find. He searched for mushrooms, apples, even pumpkins, and piled them at the crash site. Erwen stayed at Harvest Island for days, rationing out the little food he found. Eventually, two weeks after the crash, Erwen finally spots a ship.
Erwen screams and yells for the ship, which was headed directly towards him. When the ship lands, a well-known hero in the Bronze Sea, Traj, emerges. Traj, seeing the poor state Erwen is in immediately comes to his aid, giving him clean water and nutritional food before even greeting him. After Erwen accepts the food, Traj asks the obvious question of where Erwen came from. Erwen, confused, tells Traj the name of his village, of which Traj has never heard before. Erwen attempts to point to the direction he came from, however he had already completely forgotten. Traj, while confused, invites Erwen to come onto his ship with his crew, who had whole-heartedly welcomed him aboard. Traj decided the best course of action would be to bring Erwen to the Grand Navy and hope they knew where Erwen had come from. To celebrate the temporary guest, the crew begins to play various musical instruments, which intrigues Erwen, who has never heard the sound of music.
On their journey to Silverhold, the Grand Navy’s nearest headquarters, Traj pulls out a map and compass to make sure they are still on course. Erwen, rather excited, exclaims that he wishes to see the map and becomes fascinated after he is allowed to do so. Strangely, he sees that the map is rather basic and is missing many details, such as the island he crashed onto. Erwen asks Traj about the simplicity of the map, and Traj explains to Erwen about the lack of sea explorers. Traj tells Erwen that people would rather find treasure like pirates rather than pursue a “boring life of exploring”. Erwen completely disagrees with Traj’s statement and believes that exploration would be an exciting job. Traj then sees Silverhold in the distance and prepares to dock the ship.
After arriving at Silverhold, Traj brings Erwen to the informant. Traj asks the informant to help find where Erwen came from, which the informant agrees to. Erwen and the informant speak for a while, where Erwen explains his situation, the strange light in the Dark Sea, and the time when he crashed into Harvest Island. The informant comes to the shocking conclusion that Erwen was from beyond the other side of the Dark Sea, and breached through the foggy barrier due to a very rare occurrence of the barrier falling, known as a “Dark Breach”. Both Traj and Erwen were astonished by this information, and questioned that there were other places beyond the Dark Sea’s thick barrier. The informant tells Traj that he should either give Erwen to them so he can be put under protection, or that he could attempt to help Erwen get back to his home. After a lot of thought, Traj eventually decides to help Erwen himself, as he knows that the Grand Navy would only train and use him on the battlefield.
Both Erwen and Traj go back to the ship, still a little shocked. The crew is shocked that Traj still has Erwen, and question his sanity, however Traj states that Erwen will become his disciple, shocking not only the crew but Erwen as well. Erwen, rather surprised, asks Traj if he really meant it, as he had not gone over it with him. Traj, looking down at Erwen, states that Erwen would be training under him until Erwen is strong enough to go look for his village across the Dark Sea. Erwen accepted Traj as his mentor, however he still didn’t understand how strong Traj actually was. Erwen asked Traj on what he would teach him, and Traj told Erwen that he would be learning the fighting style of “Iron Leg”. Erwen, confused on what a fighting style was asked Traj on what it was, leading to Traj showing him. After Erwen experienced Traj’s Iron Leg, he immediately became intrigued and wanted Traj to teach him immediately.
A few years go by:
(17 Years-Old)
(Erwen has trained under Traj for 5 years now and has gotten a basic understanding of Iron Leg)
Erwen, now older and more experienced had become a slightly overconfident crew member. Erwen believes that he is both one of the strongest on the ship due to his mentor Traj, and also believes that he is one of the smartest on the ship due to his research and fascination of maps and the world. His beliefs quickly change however, when Traj tells Erwen that he will take his final test, actual battle experience. Traj tells Erwen that he will go to Munera Garden, an Island well-known for its fights and duels. The crew gets excited and starts to play music in celebration, however Erwen looks worried. Erwen felt that he was strong, but he had never fought someone before. Erwen had seen Traj beat up pirates and assassins, but Traj never told him how he did it. Traj, knowing that Erwen was nervous, attempted to calm him down by telling him it would only be a mock match and that he wouldn’t get injured. Erwen then calmed down, and they headed for Munera Garden.
When arriving at Munera Garden, they heard cheering noises and loud crashes. Apparently, two notable and well-known heroes “Frank the Giant” and “Re’anna the Wrecker” were having a duel.
I’m gonna stop writing here but the rest of the story is basically:
Erwen eventually leaves Traj, going to find out more about the world.
(Erwen still doesn’t find his father 
)
Erwen learns how to use weapons through another mentor (dunno who).
Erwen eventually becomes well-known as an explorer and goes under the alias “Iron Steel”.
Later in life after exploring most of the Bronze Sea finds Harvest Island again and meets a young Sarlovèze (Iron Leg Mentor) and teaches him about Iron Leg.
Erwen eventually meets his wife (dunno name) and has a child who they named Stella Bell.
Stella eventually leaves home and becomes a villain known as “Stella Steel” taking after her father.
Erwen, disappointed in Stella, goes on a journey to find her, promising his wife to bring her back.
Erwen joins the guild “Sailor’s Symphony” after a long time of retirement and becomes the oldest member there.
