Alright, so I've been working on this background for a characther for awhile, but i'm not sure if I like it or will ever be able to use it... So I just turned it into a sort-of story. Comments appreciated.
Illya Ivano was always an overly ambitious from a very young age, fuled by his desire to live up to his family name and his own ambition to be better than anyone he even came in contact with. Coming from an old blood magical family, rich to boot, he received the best training and care in his younger years not only from private tutors in academics and magic, but family tricks of the trade… some of them not always on the right side of the law.
At the age of nine, he attended an Academy overseas, attitude and ego that he would become so infamous for already intact. Illya found that he was bored of the first year classes within two weeks… most of the stuff he could have done blindfolded at the age of four. He requested advanced classes, but was denied them on the basis that he needed to stick with his age group.
So, what was a young genius mage to do? Bored with classes, the boy barely bothered to pay attention, though his test grades where phenomenal. Instead, he focused more on his family’s brand of magic and old-time lore, connecting his ancestry all the way back to some of the darkest black magic.
This continued for several years, and Illya became more and more engrossed in extending his family power and combining it with modern-day magic. He succeeded in this… and thus began his real path down to darkness.
Illya disappeared out of the school at age fourteen, along with about twenty other students that had claimed to be his close friends. Soon afterward, the group known as DEMONIK began recruiting all over the world for their cause, a cause that appealed to the downtrodden and outcasts. DEMONIK grew rapidly, and was just as rapidly outlawed by the magical community. That only put fuel on their fire though, and finally, members claiming to be under the orders of that Organization’s leader took over several cities key to the magical world.
Four years Illya ruled as a king, living up the high life with little resistance against him. After all, he had such a persuasive voice…It was hard to argue with him. Four years, and the world was his and his followers. Four years… and then those who hadn’t fell to his charm seemed to have come out of nowhere and usurp him. Granted, he fought hard back, believing what he had done was only partly for himself and partly for the good of the people, but mostly himself.
Cast out from power, most of his followers dead, Illya disappeared along with his most well known people the day of his castle’s storming. One by one, they where hunted down until only Illya and his 2ed remained at large… but by now, the people had already rebuilt their lives, back to the way they had known it before DEMONIK.
Part 2 is a flashback-like thing, but it's not fully done yet. LIke I said, comments welcome.
