Born in Ironport, he was born with the rather rare case of possessing both ink and paper magic from his mother and father, both of them were very proud, he had messy dark brown hair, a near perfect jawline and intense eyebrows. He would go to school almost every single day, he was very popular and most found him charismatic and attractive. He was at least third in his class and graduated in school.
He had no clue what job he wanted, very job seemed boring or just too difficult, his friends Victor and Leon suggested that he partake in card games, he was very talented with his cards, but he was always flawed by wasting his cards.
One day, while he was walking around dangerous areas with his friends, they found a women, standing close to the edge of a ocean.
“Bet you $5 galleons to push her in.”
Leon laughingly said.
Victor would start sneaking up to her, and successfully pushed her in.
“Dude, have some decency!”
Kennedy yelled as he went to help her.
However, a Smokey figure appeared behind Victor, it was the same women, and it had stabbed Victor in the abdomen, as he fell into the water below.
“What the f-”
Leon would be cut off as a jet of green slice sliced off his head.
“ARRRRUGH!”
Kennedy yelled as he fell unto the floor in shock.
The lady would slowly walk up to Kennedy, she would kneel down.
“Good to meet people who aren’t too malicious…”
The lady spoke.
“Erm, I-”
Kennedy would be lost for words.
“May i return to you in a days time… i have use for you…”
She spoke as she jammed her fingers into his shoulder.
When he awoke, he saw Leon’s body gone with only traces of his blood, and saw type of Hex on own his shoulder. He ran home and hugged himself in trauma after what he saw. His mother knocked onto his door and said.
“You’ve made it onto the leagues of Poker!”
“I quit!”
Kennedy whispered to her.
“…If you can reconsider, please give it to them to see.”
She spoke before leaving the room.
“Ah, screw it, money is money.”
He took the papers and got ready for Poker.
Kennedy took a bath put on a Navy blue tuxedo and head off to the Poker Club. He met many men there being rather sketchy and rough and it made him look out of place. He assigned $20 galleons to challenge Helena Rust, he would do very well, with Kennedy surprisingly not wasting his chances. Despite his efforts, Helena would find a vulnerable moment, and won the game.
“Winner takes all.”
Helena spoke as she snatched the $20 galleons off of him.
“Wait, no, i have more!”
Kennedy demanded a rematch giving $40 galleons.
Helena took the risk despite losing all of the money she earned including Kennedy’s. The round would go much like last time, with Helena having an even more snug look as she noticed the patterns. She had just placed a Jester that outplayed all of the cards he had, however, Kennedy didn’t have a King nor Queen.
“No Queen or King, then you’re screwed.”
She would began leaning across the table about to grab his galleons.
“You’re wrong…dear”
Kennedy would begin frantically moving his hands underneath the desk, surprisingly unnoticed by the spectators.
Kennedy had secretly removed the ink from a hearts card, and reformed it to show a King. This would surprise Helena.
“Cheater!”
She cried as the crowd gasped in amazement.
“Winner takes all.”
Kennedy took the heaping of $260 galleons including the $60 he lost.
Kennedy would win many games against lower members in the league and in total earned about $800 galleons, he drank his drink and walked off as the club closed.
While walking home, he encountered Helena and a gang of misfits.
“No hard feelings, right?”
Kennedy would nervously say.
“Those galleons would be used to save me from being beheaded by my master!”
She yelled and order the guards to beat him up.
The three beefy men punched and threw Kennedy around, his face would be bruised with his face coated in a scarlet red, Kennedy managed to fire rounds of ink and paper magic at the both, the paper managed to slice one of the men’s chest, but the other two would punch him onto the floor.
“And i thought magic was powerful.”
She leaned down and took $800 galleons off of him.
When this happened, something in his mouth began to move, he left as if he were about to spit out of blood again, but…he thought of what happened this morning with his friends…and the women…
“Death Magic…”
He whispered as the words spilled out of his mouth.
When this happened, his eyes glowed purple and horns pierced out of his head. He ran at the three men walking away and sliced off their legs.
“Holy shit!”
Kennedy would be in surprise not meaning to sever their legs.
Helena would start spinning a Bo-staff ready to hit him.
“Look, your men are permanently disabled, heck are you going to do-”
Kennedy would be cut off as the staff knocked him over.
Before Helena could slam her staff into him, he would roll out of the way and blast five rounds of paper magic, two of them piercing her legs, two on her arms, and the last on her back, she would fall onto the ground paralyzed.
“Perhaps being villainous ain’t the way…”
Kennedy spoke as he took her 800 galleons and her staff.
Tomorrow morning, he went off to the same Poker club and order a drink and a piece of preserved salted meat.
“How was it last night?”
A witch spoke to Kennedy.
“…Alright?”
Kennedy would look confused as she looked like the same women who gave her the curse.
“I thought the experiment would have turned you into a full-reaper rather than a half one”
She said again.
“W- Who are you?”
Kennedy would know it was the same lady.
She then removed her hood and spoke.
“…Cassandra Silver, i have a feeling you would like to join my army.”
She concluded.
Kennedy would stare deep into her eyes, and accepted.
