Brief History:

Noda has a hateful past; one that he wants to forget.

"My past.. heh.. Well, my family wasn't wealthy, but wasn't poor. We lived on the outskirts of a highly populated city; big home. My parents were out like normal, working in the city. I was left home alone with his grandmother and my caretaker. These bandits came, taking over the household and looking for anything they could take there hands on. We didn't have much, hardly anything expect for a few hidden golds and possibly wealthy items... But they didn't care.. I mean... they were robbers, cold-blooded.. Why would they? My caretaker hid me under a few blankets in a closet when they came. I only heard the screams of my grandmother and the caretaker.. Then they found me, dragged me out of the closet and into the main living area. I couldn't open my eyes; knowing what they did. They kept hurting me trying to get me to find something they could sell off to a vendor on the streets. I don't remember the rest, just blurs. *pause* Sometimes I think of that as just a dream... something fake and make-believe..How cruel people can be in this world, just to get a few gold, huh? *trying to smile* It's just.. I wish my parents never came home early..Maybe they would have seen me grown by now.. *trying to smile again* How far I've come.."

Noda died that day, along with his family.

Noda however, was saved being the only survivor.

He started working on the streets, trying to make a living for himself yet so young at the time. His home was taken from him, but I highly doubt he wanted to live with those memories. Noda trained hard every day, to become stronger. He wanted to be able to protect himself, anyone. Noda believes he survived that day, because there was a purpose for him. He believes the purpose is to grow strong, and become a savior for others.

So, everyday after work, Noda would train on garbage bens and local kids and orphans; having duels and mini-fights. He became quite skilled being unarmed, 'till one day he met a young man.

The man was a Noble, quite rich. He was so mysterious, Noda almost a little creeped out by him. The man observed Noda everyday for quite a while, then one day interrupted Noda while he was practicing moves on a pole. (Even bending the pole, being quite skilled.)

The Noble offered the young Noda a job as his personal guard, paying a bountiful. He even gave Noda his own personal weapon, an axe larger than the tall Noble. Noda didn't even know what the weapon was until the man explained it to Noda; who soon grew to like the axe taller than him.

As years passed, Noda and the Noble grew close, the Noble like a father-figure to him, as well as best friends. He just doesn't know the Noble is only using him as protection, not as a friend or companion. Noda also became extremely skilled with his axe, beating anyone that challenged him or becoming tied.

Today, he still works for the Noble, traveling the world; building his rockshell around him higher everyday, waiting for that one person that cares enough for him to climb over his barriers..
