Vexx



Vexx lived a hard, but peaceful life at the village of Overwood with Vargas, his grandfather and only family. When the Shadowraith Dark Yabu invaded, he was chackled and turned a slave among with his grandfather and all the others who lived at the village, forced to toil in the mines in search of wraithhearts. One day, at the brink of his patience, Vexx was brutally whipped on his back when trying to aid his grandfather after the same had a brief collapse. The boy retaliated against the offense, lashing upon the Shadowminion, but before he could hit it with his pickaxe, Yabu himself stopped him with his shadowy powers. When the wraith was just about to kill Vexx, he let go of the boy when his grandfather attacked, and in his place, Yabu destroyed Vargas instead. Striken by sorrow and vowing revenge, Vexx escaped after nightfall from the caves, and slyly entered into Yabu's Windship, looking for something that could help him kill the wraith. There, by coincidence, he found the Astani War Talons embedded in a rock along with the skeleton of its previous owner. Marveled by the artifacts, Vexx approached, waking the weapons which unvoluntaringly bound themselves painfully to Vexx until the day he dies. The proccess caused a massive gathering of energy, making an explosion that not just burst the ship to smithereens, but also injured Vexx to unconsciousness.

While he was unconscious, Vexx learned that his grandfather's spirit had been captured by Yabu's amulet and that the Shadowraith is feeding on his pain and fear until Vargus no longer exists. Vexx also learned how to harness the power of the War Talons before he regained consciousness with the purpose of exacting his revenge against his grandfather's murderer.
