Biography
Tengo was born in a small town named Quanasi in the realm of Gorsh, As a child, growing up in Quanasi was a dream, it was one of the most hospitable towns in the entirety of [insert continent name here]. This was how it remained for years until he turned 13, that’s when Excursia become bored of the already large space they inhabited and decided it was time to colonise, Excursia would not stop until their empire spanned the entirety of the south of Ethelos, maybe even all of it. As a realm on the border of Excursia, they were one of the first to be subjected to war. Everyone in Gorsh was drafted to fight against the large powers of Excursia, this included Quanasi. Since Quanasi was on the border between Gorsh and Excursia, the once a peaceful and hospitable village was turned into a large-scale military barracks to house and prepare soldiers for the warfare to come. Tengo was not drafted into the war as he had not reached adulthood yet, therefore he remained in Quanasi, trying to get used to what the war did to what was once his home, one day he overheard 2 commanders talking about a weapon that the enemy has developed that had the power to wipe out entire villages at once, he also heard them talking about how Quanasi had become their main target. Tengo decided that it was no longer safe to stay there and set off to leave Gorsh and flee to a no longer war ridden realm. As they were walking away from Quanasi, he was shocked to the core by a loud eruption from behind, they turned around to see a large mushroom cloud pulsating with energy of a supernatural kind, they rushed back to go see what happened to find everyone dead, Excursia has used their weapon… and it had worked. All that was left of the once vibrant village was a crater with a mysterious large purple crystal in the centre. As Tengo was about to go investigate, Excursian forces stormed the crater and took the crystal away, back to Excursia. Tengo now had no choice, he had no home.

He eventually ventured across the border of Excursia, and found a small village inhabited by humans, it was a dry and seemingly baron town in the middle of the desert. However, the people here seemed happy and peaceful. He entered the village, and walked down the dusty road, all the once happy people know seemed to be either scared, angry or confused as the mysterious Tortle strolled. At this point, a tall, bulky human with a large scar across half of his face, in a deep, raspy voice, he stated “you don’t belong here, what’s your business?”. His booming voice sent vibrations of fear into his body, shocking him to the core.

“I am looking for a place to settle down again, my previous home was destroyed and I would like to ask if you have any room here to stay the night”

“I say you get out of here, this place ain’t take to kindly to people like you”

“I promise I won’t be any trouble; I just need a place to stay the night, tomorrow, I will be gone immediately”

“I said get out of here”

At this point, more people had surrounded the Tortle, a lot of them looking as if they were ready to fight

“Please, I don’t want trouble, I just need to stay somewhere for one night, the desert is inhospitable for Tortles”

“You leave now, or we will force you out”

“Can I at least get some water, I won’t sur-”

The townsfolk all proceeded to pick up and threw the Tortle out into the unforgiving sands, Tengo gave up, and continued his venture. He crossed the dunes and desert, he admired the sun and the heat it caused on this baron, dry lands. It didn’t take long until exhaustion and thirst caught up with them however, and eventually he passed out.

They awoke on a bed in a large room, a figure sat at a desk at the end of the room

“I am Sheriff Ramsden, I was the one who saved your life”

“Where am I?”

“The townsfolk are not happy that I brought you back here, they want to get away from the war, it’s not their fault, they’re just scared, welcome to Tombstone, you’re more than welcome to stay here, they will warm to you eventually”

“Thanks”

“Also you need a job here, I know you just got here but we have an opening here in the police department, can you use a gun?”

“I could learn”

“Great, get learning deputy”

Tengo stayed in the village for 3 years, avoiding warfare and helping the town where they could, until the war caught up. The Excursians continued to use their superweapon until one day it messed up, it was misaligned by enough to accidently hit Tombstone, killing everyone apart from Tengo as he was out of town collecting water from the nearby oasis. Tengo rushed back to find all buildings destroyed. And everyone dead. He saw that Ramsden was still breathing and rushed over to his aid, Ramsden could barely say a word as he was in shock but he gave Tengo his revolver as a clear bequifment, Tengo is now homeless again, both homes destroyed by a weapon created by the Excursians. They are now a traveller, dropping in to help where they can, as well as trying to get information of the weapon owned by the Excursians, to end this bloodshed, and end the war.
