Brief History
Born to Pearce and Marjorie Hill on the 15th of Autumn 475 AOV, Emerson grew up in a middle class family on the outskirts of Slate. His father is an engineer and his mother a pianist and music teacher.
His family made sure he stayed clear of any warmongering people or thoughts during his early years and Emerson was on his way to being accepted into an engineering school. But one of his best friends was killed in a Danoran attack and in a rash moment, Emerson applied for and was accepted in the Slate Military Academy with sights set on becoming a Naval Officer.
He graduated with honors and served as a Lieutenant on the Argentum in the Yerasol Archipelago. He saw many naval battles as well as skirmishes on different islands during his tour. Shortly before his last mission in the Risuri Navy he met Ifris Landalvin.
The Danoran’s had recently taken the Island of Sirai and Risu wanted to take it back. While not an agricultural island, it was strategic due to its naturally deep and protected harbor on the leeward side of the island. That and the fact that it was situated within easy striking distance of many enemy strongholds on both sides of the conflict.
Emerson was selected to lead a special team of marines as a protection detail for Nigel Gibson, a Deva who had a top secret mission on the island. In the ensuing battle, Emerson and his entire team died trying to protect Nigel from a strange Danoran weapon. He woke up days later on the battle field, his leg torn and broken. Unbeknownst to him, a sliver or the dying Deva’s essence was imparted upon him and raised him back to the living. Emerson was picked up by a Danoran patrol and held as a prisoner of war. He immediately developed certain abilities (Oracle powers) that were confusing and alarming to him. He kept them hidden for fear of being put to death by his captors. Eventually he was released at the end of the war.
Hill was soon honorably discharged due to his injuries and spent two years recuperating in a villa outside of Slate. Once “cured” and living back in Slate, he had a chance encounter with his friend Ifris who talked him into applying with the RHC. He did so and was eventually accepted in 499 A.O.V.
Concept Elements
1) Before his stint in the war, Emerson was a jovial fellow. His physical and psychological wounds have had a marked impact on him. For the first few years after the war, he suffered from Severe to Moderate PTSD. He finally realized that he could very well have died on the field and is much better off still breathing. He regained much of his former personality, but there is a darker, harder side that lurks beneath his lighthearted demeanor.
2) At first he despised Danorans when he signed up in the Risuri Marine Corps. But after more than a dozen skirmishes which often lead to melee combat, he realized that many Danorans where just as hesitant to kill Risuri as many of his comrades where hesitant to kill Danorans. He is now unsure what to believe in regards to both countries motives for the wars.
A secret Emerson knows:
The Diva that died and transferred some of his essence to Emerson was on a mission to capture Danoran experimental weapons.
A secret he doesn’t:
It was one of those weapons that killed every Marine and Naval officer except for him that day on Sirai Island.
Friends
Ifris Lanvaldin: Fellow naval officer in the Risuri Navy. They fought together in the last war. She is the reason Emerson signed up for the RHC.
