So much for not knowing what tense to write in smh. I also initially wrote him down as 'straight'.. (LOUD RED INCORRECT BUZZER)
Faldorn is a cheery and often boisterous person who's prone to mischief. Although he seems the 'oblivious' or 'stupid' type, many underestimate his actual intelligence. Faldorn has forgotten who he used to be due to his amnesia, which happened as a side-effect when he was serving in the lifelong war against the clone army on planet Rathalos. What only remains from his past are a few things.. Such as his name, his armour, his remaining friends Nestor and Laszlo, and a strange plush doll that resembles a feline.
During the war, Faldorn served as one of the top tier soldiers on the front line, having exceptional combat and survival skills. He often spent time with Nestor's brother, Chief, and the two bonded well while stuck on the fronts. Faldorn was quite the force to be reckoned with, his physical abilities exceeding most front soldiers much like Chief. Before Faldorn departed from home, his little sister gave him her little plush doll as a memory and good luck token. Faldorn still holds onto it to this very day, even if he doesn't remember the exact reason why he's so attached to the plush. It's unknown when Faldorn's amnesia started exactly kicking in, but Faldorn was out of service a bit before the war had actually ended.
His friends Nestor and Laszlo had many futile attempts at bringing the old Faldorn back, once peace and quiet somewhat settled back on planet Rathalos. It seemed to no avail, no matter what they tried, Faldorn refused to hear it or simply didn't remember. It's brought Faldorn a good amount of dread, and even now he never likes talking about the past he seemingly doesn't recall at all. Sometimes, the ex-soldier shows moments of his old self, such as exceptional intelligence and wits in the most unexpected of moments.. Who knows when or if his memory will come back?
Despite his amnesia, Faldorn's friends still keep up with him, solely in refusal of losing their friend. Nestor and Laszlo are the most protective over Faldorn, sort of posing as his guardian angels while watching over him. They desperately hope Faldorn will gain his memory back one day, but they're slowly starting to lose hope as it's been a few years already.
When an influx of wormholes started appearing on their planet at some point, the majority of their faction planned to move away. It was a sign of a new start, a possibility to leave the hellhole the planet had become and begin anew. The trio of friends wanted to take this opportunity along with Chief, but unfortunately failed at doing so. In the rush of it all, the trio lost track of Nestor's older brother and failed at leaping through a wormhole like some other unfortunate souls. It would take several years before other wormholes would appear once again, and when they did the trio quite literally jumped at the chance. This wormhole teleported the three to the planet Apollo, which was located in a galaxy different from their origins.
It took quite a while for the three friends to settle on this new planet. At first they set up their own camp, but it wouldn't take long before they started travelling and learning about the entire guild system that every town seemed to engage in. Soon they more-or-less had routine, even if it was all still unknown to them. Faldorn was always happily going along with this, as long as he had his plush and his friends he'd be okay in his words.
However, it wouldn't take long before a surprise would come along, and sweep the trio off their feet in not quite a good way.
On a seemingly regular day, Nestor returned in a hurry after scouting the new area they'd recently travelled to. The issue Nestor described, didn't sound feasible at all. It was sworn by Nestor he was speaking the truth, he swore on his own life that he'd spotted one of the clones from their old war on this planet. How and why this coincidence occurred here out of all places, none of them knew. This particular clone, part of the aerial offense during their war, was spotted near a castle that seemed to be a knights' base.
The next day, the trio set out to go pay this clone a visit- Nestor and Laszlo clearly having bad intentions, whilst Faldorn was just happily stringing along without really understanding why. The former two infiltrated the base as soon as they set their eyes on it, but a surprise hit them and its entire squad was holding up defenses quite quickly and efficiently as well. The group of knights wouldn't allow Nestor and Laszlo through, despite the two ex-warriors only wanting to engage with one member. This Wynthrox's squad didn't quite understand their reasoning for going after Raptor, and grew extremely wary. It was by then crystal clear this conflict wouldn't end peacefully, and the two engaged in a battle with the knights. This fight would nearly break down the entire Wynthrox's base and wound individuals heavily. If it weren't for Faldorn interrupting the fight, hopelessly screaming at everyone to stop, some definitely would have lost their lives.
The leader of the knight squad demanded a talk with Nestor, Laszlo and Faldorn. Trine along with his brother Arzanium, sat down with them to have a proper discussion. It was soon revealed that this trio of strange warriors originated from the same planet as Raptor had, which sparked the interest of the two knightly brothers. They decided it would be best to include Raptor in the conversation, once he'd recovered from his injuries.
The second conversation they had with Raptor included, was clearly tense for all of them. Nestor, Laszlo and Faldorn learned at this point that Raptor was found lost by the Wynthrox brothers one day and part of their group ever since. For the entire conversation, the Wynthrox brothers spoke in defense of Raptor, whilst the poor soul had no idea what was going on besides Faldorn. Nestor and Laszlo quickly picked up on the fact that Raptor truly didn't know what was going on, and decided that the clone was in fact not a threat to them. The two ex-warriors shared their origins with Raptor, and explained to him who he used to be. The knight definitely didn't take this information well, seeing as he was a totally different person compared to 'what he was supposed to be'. The conversation would set the two groups on neutral grounds with one another, but Raptor would end up having struggles with his self-image for quite some time after that.
Nestor, Laszlo and Faldorn would help the knights rebuild their base back to peak condition. Once the deed was done and the base looked as good as new, the trio vanished off somewhere else to live their own lives. Nestor and Laszlo had decided, despite everything, they still wanted nothing to do with the knights and especially Raptor. Faldorn was practically forced to tag along, but since he never understood what was truly going on he still went along with it. The trio would set up a place to sort of call home, in a neighbouring town from the one where the knights lived. At this point it seems the three won't be coming in contact with the knight squad again, especially when it comes to Nestor and Laszlo. However, it's been settled and the trio won't be harming them anymore. The three occasionally do mercenary and guild work in their town, getting by the best they can on a planet completely unfamiliar.
When the End Of Dawn arrives, the three ex-warriors are quite literally dumped on a world that seemingly has brought together individuals from all places in the universe. They're forced to make amends and join forces with the knight squad, but luckily as time goes on, the two groups start getting along with one another. It's during these events that Faldorn will gain his memory back and become his old self again, as well as the trio meeting up with their long lost friend 4STR0N4UT. The four are reunited and overjoyed, and after the multigalactical events they return to planet Apollo with the knights. They cheesily call their own quartet of friends the Quantum Quartet.
From then on the two groups are on friendly terms with one another, individuals hanging out with one another occasionally. When the time calls for it, the two groups team up to finish the most demanding of difficult quests, working together efficiently and getting the deed done no matter what. It goes like this for a good amount of time, and all seems well. On the occasion, 4STR0N4UT lets the trio tag along with her on space adventures, and they see more and more of the universe.
Once 4STR0N4UT expresses a desire to find the rest of their faction, the trio agrees to join their comrade. Sad and long goodbyes are shared with their knightly friends with promises to visit from time to time.. And then, the four of them venture out into the void of space. Travelling at light speed and hyperjumps doesn't get them to their destination immediately, but eventually they get to the galaxy where practically their entire faction has settled. From then on, the four truly feel at home again, in the center of the galaxy, in the Iagoon Fisaris Galaxy. They reunite with Nestor's brother, and all is well for everyone living their lives to the fullest.
