History: Crys Tahlgard was born on an alternate Earth timeline within the multiverse, which consists of an infinite number of realities which can ve radically different or disturbingly similar. On the Earth of Crys' birth, magic was VERY prominent, and led to powerful mages warring for magical supremacy. This war lasted for 3 millenia, devastating the lands and reverting vilization to a medieval state. After the war ended, the world was ruled by the Council of Mana, the most powerful mages in the world. Under them was the "magically active", citizens who were born with magical powers. The bottom class of humans was the Mundanes, who were just that...mundane people leading the lives of normal humans. There was another class that existed who's purpose was to protect the higher classes. This class, the Guardians, was the one into which Crys was born. On this Earth, the magical proficiency in medicine led to the lifespan of humans being around a millenia. Crys spent the first five hundred years of his life in the standard training all Guardians took under the tutelage of Grandmaster Guardian Michael Maelstrom.

After graduating from Michael's academy as a Guardian 1st class. Crys was supreme warrior and (secretly) a magical adept. Guardians were forbidden by the edicts of the Council from studying magic. Crys gradually worked his way up the ranks of the Guardians and increasing his magical capavilities through secret studies while serving as bodyguard for many wizards, moving from one to another after serving the standard Guardian Protection Period of 20 years over the next four hundred years of his life. at the end of his last Period as Guardian for a member of the Council, Crys was promoted to the rank of Master Guardian by the Council and granted Immortality. This changed Crys from the maturity of a 59 year old man to the youth of a 25 year old. Unfortunately, during the mystical operation for the immortality, the Council discovered Crys' illegal skill in the magical arts. The Council of Man was lenient on Crys due to his superior record of protecting his employers from assassins from rival wizards.

So instead of executing him, the Council assigned him as Guardian of a special task force of wizards, the Wandering Warlocks, who traveled the multiverse seeking new magical knowledge. Crys traveled the many thousands of Earths with the WW over the next five centuries granted to him with his new immortality. During those years, he studied chi techniques from hundreds of Earths and mastered them all while learning any magical tidbits that the Warlock members he was protecting managed to unearth. Whenever he returned to his home Earth, he avoided other Guardians and was avoided in turn because his study of magic had made him an outcast among his friends and family. This continued until a turn of events led to a member of the WW to learn of a particularly rich store of magical knowledge contained within an unholy book called the Necromancer's Tome, which was contained within the dimensional plane of the Abyss. Along with five special Warlocks and a dozen other Guardians, Crys searched the 666 levels of the Abyss for another five hundred years off and on for the Necromancer's Tome. All of those centuries were spent fighting off demons while the Warlocks searched until, in Crys' 1900th year, they found the Tome. After escaping the Abyss, the Leader Warlock of the task force discovered that the Tome spoke of an immensely powerful magical artifact and, consumed by greed and ambition, led the force on a quest throughout the multiverse for the pocket dimension that the Tome claimed to house the great artifact. After questing for 400 years, they stumbled upon the doorway to the pocket dimension that the leader sought so fanatically. Ordering Crys and half of the other Guardians to remain outside the Doorway with the lowest ranking Warlock, the foolish leader entered the pocket dimension. After waiting 50 years, the remaining wizard decided to search for the others(for Immortals, which these were, waiting 50 years wasn't THAT long to wait). Crys was the only member of the remaining group to refuse to enter the portal in the search. Crys waited another 50 years before setting out to the nearest reality for help, which happened to be the Dominions Earth. He spent the next 62 years psing as a mercenary while searching for help. No one but Crys knows what happened, but during the last war, Crys' only friend and lover died and he joined the hunters to kill the Mavericks who he claims to have ordered their deathes...

Character Development: Crys ran down the forest path. Suddenly, he stopped as he spotted the mutilated body of his only friend on the face of this planet. As he started to bend over his friend's corpse in grief, he started up as he heard his lover's scream pierce the air further down the path. He came out of the path into a clearing where his lover lay...dead... at the feet of several Mavericks.

"Well, well...another foolish human. Prepare to die..."Growled a wolven Dryad Reploid.

When Crys realized that these...THINGS had killed the only humans on this Earth that he cared about, something snapped...

After the blood-haze cleared from his vision, the group of Mavericks lay dismembered all over the forest clearing...

Crys walked through the front entrance of Hunter Headquarters Unit 16 and up to the receptionist's desk. Recognizing him from his wanted holograms, the receptionist subtly groped for the security call button but stopped when Crys spoke.

"Where do I join up?"...
