Description Wow... this is the final one in the Before I was series... I actually finished something... cool

Probably the most popular Soldier of Purification may I present Slaughter, who's previous name I will actually tell you, her name was once Allena. The name is Celtic it means Fox, I picked this name for two reasons. One in Western mythology Foxes represent the devil, they are seen as evil tricksters who live to steal from humans and bring them misfortune. In Eastern mythology foxes (or Kitsune) are seen as wise intelligent beings, who at times like to play practical jokes on humans, foxes are considered to be messengers from the gods, in particular Inari. (god/goddess, of rice, fertility and worldly success)

Here we see Allena just a few short hours before she transforms and takes Slaughter as her new name, the girl in the picture with her is her sister Meng who will not survive this day, she is spending her last moments pleading with her sister.

Both Allena and Meng were born with out familiars (which is rare but not unheard of) something that other children harass and tease them to no end about. Both Allena and Meng took different approaches to dealing with the teasing, Meng befriended those who were kind and did not tease her and Allena threw herself into her work and adopted a cold exterior. Unfortunately it was only a matter of time before she broke down.

The day she did she killed everyone in her class, everyone who had the misfortune of meeting her on her way home, and finally after a screaming match she killed her parents as well. It was at around this time that Meng arrived home, thinking there had been a horrific break in she was overjoyed to find her sister was alright, but her joy soon turned to horror when she realized her sister was responsible at which point she met her end by Allena's hands.

During the scuffle the gift meng had gotten her sister that day was lost and shattered on the floor (it's in the foreground)

While pleading with her sister Meng left bloody hand prints on Allena's dress. To this day they still bleed through any clothing Allena (now called Slaughter) wears.

Though she will say that she feels nothing, no regret or sadness for murdering her family and all the other people, Slaughter's behavior in certain situations begs to differ.

It is unclear why Allena suddenly destroyed her life and went to the order, but I bet her accidental meeting with the leader of the order may have had something to do with it.

Whoa. I red the backstory and it's very well planned out on done. But what I didn't understand was when you mentionted that they weren't born with "familiars" what would familiars be exactly? or is that one of those things I'd figure out further in the manga? *shrugs* anyways, I love how you did the tears and the shattered glass.

Ah I see, their familiars are the furry winged foxy things that show up in a bunch of my drawings.

This is why everybody likes the villains, they're interesting. The heroes never get as interesting or elaborate back stories as the villains. Personaly I've always liked the villains more than the heroes because they're... well as i said before, interesting.

Of course the heroes usualy have good back stories as well but they are usualy not as interesting as the villains.

That would be a good idea since she has a tendency to kill people who look like her sister.

i still think its really sad and i dont know why... wether its my own wanting or hopefulness or if its actually there, in the last panel Slaughter looks like she actually wants to cry despite her serious face... dont know why

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Chaos--Child In reply to BlazeDrgn [2007-12-03 04:52:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I like to think she wants to, I know that deep down she feels very guilty (wait till later on when you get to see some of her epic flip outs and you'll see it too, smashing mirrors doesn't begin to cover it.) She did more than end the lives of her family she destroyed herself too, all the SOP did that's why they're pitch black they've erased themselves.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

BlazeDrgn In reply to Chaos--Child [2007-12-03 07:38:52 +0000 UTC]

that makes sense... i can believe slaughters flip outs would go beyond just smashing mirrors. and yes they quite literally destroyed themselves especially in part like those who had to kill their familiars, fromwhat you've told me of them they're quite literally destrying apart of themselves. does the fact that slaughter still were white have anything to do with the fact that she's wearing white here? or it looks to be the same outfit...?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Chaos--Child In reply to BlazeDrgn [2007-12-03 18:42:21 +0000 UTC]

it is the same outfit yes and yes she does wear white for a reason, in Western culture white is a sign of innocence, but in Eastern culture white represents violence and power.

BlazeDrgn In reply to Chaos--Child [2007-12-04 05:47:41 +0000 UTC]

ah got'cha, its got the same kind of definition as her name, both her name and outfit seem to have a yinyang to it if that makes sense

Chaos--Child In reply to BlazeDrgn [2007-12-04 18:49:39 +0000 UTC]

yeah it does, after all once the whole story is out I hope that people will question weather or not Slaughter really is bad.

definitly, heck i already think it over myself and i only know what you've told me. plus things like that are what make for great characters, if you stop and wonder about them or think about them and such then you know your character has depth ^_^

Awwww. *hugs Slaughter* I can sort of relate to her too. I was alone a lot when I was younger because everyone thought I was weird. And when you're young, it's not good to be alone so much.

The shattered statue is absolutely beautiful.

Don't know if you noticed this and meant to do it, but the little blood spot on Allena's forehead looks like a heart.
