A world full of promise, happiness and enchantment awaited those who were not sullied by the utter grappling reality of life. A strong standing man, broad shouldered, and quite handsome had found himself aimlessly wondering around the village that he would now call 'home'. A place where he had resented somewhat, although he couldn't be quite angry with the village for all its worth - it did offer up his son into the man's arms. This village, Sunagakure, gave a lonely heart a young child to love, to protect and to become a father to. But the world had taken away that love, it had taken away his dignity and devotion to the Crown. Once the highest member of the King's Guard, a personal friend of the throne, was now but a common soldier among the ranks of shinobi - creatures that he once fought off from his gracious, fruitful land.
He was sad, alone and in a state of depression. An honorable man who bore nothing but the weight of those he let down. The world was surely a cruel and unforgiving place, even dreams tormented him with the vivid manifestation of his son, Hatteken, being gingerly swayed from left to right as the noose choked the life out of him. His son's empty face, white as a ghost, just didn't... do anything. And not only did he let down his child, the one thing he valued more than the King, Queen and his Princess but even those three were plucked from his life - his personal friends. His comrades, the Royal Guard, struck off Amori as a traitor when he abandoned his post to search for his child.
Amori was split between oath and love. However, it was his majesty that made the choice easier; "Go find him," he said with a fatherly tone. What more was a man to do? His King had ordered him to search for his son, which he was going to do anyway, but he was still torn about leaving his post. And even after finding the corpse of Hatteken, the Gods added insult to injury, and tossed the Royal Family from the great spire. Their bodies fell so desperately, the Princess clawing to her mother, the King flapping his arms and choking on disbelief. His crown had fallen from his head, but nobody would know what hit the ground first.
Finding himself in a pub, Amori sat down at the bar with his chest plate on display, the sheer beauty of its design caught the eye of some petty thieves. But he would never stop wearing the garment, the armour, because that was his King's gift. It would serve as a constant reminder, a self-inflicted reminder, that he failed the ones he was entrusted to protect. The world was ripe with injustices, and filled with the hearts of those caught in the middle. "One ale, sir." he would raise his head and offer the scruffy man a smile, his pleasantries knew no bounds, and his manners were undeniable even to those rotten with ignorance.
