small info:

Myth is an acquaintance of Ren who specializes in fencing and fist fighting. He helps Ren and acts like a sort of bodyguard when Ren needs backup for his missions.

small backstory:

Myth is not like a Dreadnaut like Ren but a different water creature species. His species is now endangered and on the brink of extinction due to the territorial and "evil" Dreadnauts that took over his deep-sea homeland. He had a family that was killed during these attacks. He also lost his best friend and the love of his life as well. Now he takes revenge for them and his humanity, having a distaste towards Dreadnauts. Though, because of special circumstances he was able to form this twisted bond with Ren as they both needed each other's power.

full backstory: 

(subject to change)

Myth was born into an okay family, one that he frequently fought with but where he came from they were the closest he had to safety. His homeland was located in the deep depths of an ocean that no human has made the journey to. They did not have to worry about humans that much, but other predatory species that lived alongside them in the ocean, did. Myth was raised as a protector for his family and fought frequently to keep them and himself safe but it was normal, part of the cycle they had to go through. As the years went by many conflicts later caused his species to divide into factions and become territorial due to a mysterious new species in their location that was taking down his species left and right. Everyone was on edge but would not give up their land and sharing the land was not an option for both parties. Many of the factions had the same idea to try and overthrow this invading species but many had different opinions about it. Myth's faction wanted to die for their land and would send the ones who were able to fight at the front lines of their territory every day fighting them off. Myth's faction was one of the strongest factions but it was neverending battles and Myth was sick of it but he had to keep fighting because what was the point if he died without protecting his land and his family? During this time, when he was on territory duty he ended up bonding with a guy who came from a neighboring faction that was about to unite their strongest soldiers to help people in need. Myth knew that with that mindset this guy's faction would not last long but something about him made Myth stay beside him until the end. This guy was the man whom Myth fell in love with and decided to be partners with, despite their conditions. This man would gift Myth anything, from pretty rocks to scarce resources and Myth never knew why, when asked he was told that if he did not like his gifts he could "work" for them and all it ended up being was spending time with him, which Myth was already doing. Myth realized at the end how much it meant to him, how much spending time with your loved ones meant to him. 

tidbits:

- has frequent carpal tunnel

- his earrings were gifts from his deceased loved one

- has a bad habit of scratching his skin a lot

- his feet can interchange with fins to hooves

- loves eye contact but hates physical contact

- his love languages are acts of service and receiving gifts

- his real name isn't myth and the name he gave to himself to leave his past when he was happy behind (as his past is now a myth and his newfound happiness is far from near. It also can mean that his species will vanish, probably will be seen as a myth in the future)
