Journey Journal: The Explorer's Backstory

To truly understand my motive in the Euclid Galaxy, it would be informative to explain who I am, and why I am here. In my previous entry, I stated that I am an Inkling. Well that part was only half-true. Since my mother was an Inkling, and my father was a Nord. My mother used magic to disguise her true entity, and continued to keep that a secret right up until I was born. My father was outraged, and tried to cull me, but my mother, showing her true colors, pleaded for my life, claiming that I would be a driving force against the Aldmeri Dominion when I came of age. My dad never liked having an inkling for a son, but liked the Thalmor even less, so he spared me.

In my grade school days, my dad taught me the art of combat, and blacksmithing, while my mother trained me in the matter of a diplomat. From both parents, I was taught not just how to wage war, but also how to make peace. However, circumstances change like the tides of the ocean. When I was ten, my parents were killed by conspirators from the Tankhood of Ursula, a splinter faction of the Octarian Army, commanded by Miranda Mae-roon, a Megalomaniacal Matriarch who believes she can finish what Octavio started. I fled to Inkopolis via a magic scroll my mother gave me. I alerted the Squid Sisters to the atrocity, and after eight long years of training, I set out to find and defeat Miranda.

It wasn't long before I discovered the Splatorians, commanded by a leader who goes by Splatalore, I soon realized that their opposition, the Octoling Empire was becoming a far greater threat than that of the Tankhood. Once the dractoling, Crimson broke free from solitary, I spent the next nine months learning dragon shouts, including the Dragonrend. By the time my training was finished, Crimson decided to seek help from the Zerg.

After six months of war in the Koprulu Sector, the Zerg were forced back to Char, but Crimson and the Octoling Empire discovered a Protoss Hypergate, that led us into the Euclid Galaxy. My beloved first lieutenant, Valkyrie was captured while I was pursuing Crimson. The hypergate made me end up on an Alpine World, which is where my adventure began.

This Atlas entity can be used to create worlds, or in the hands of the Octoling Empire can destroy them, just as easily. My mission is to rescue Valkyrie and claim the Atlas to destroy the Octo-Empire.
