Backstory
In a world where humans would gawk and jeer at the strange and unusual, Jericho was a living spectacle. A Rat x Dragon hybrid born into the harsh reality of circus life, Jericho knew nothing but the cruel fate of being a mere attraction. His past was a shrouded mystery, forever obscured by the circus’s tainted walls, where the only company he had was the endless suffering and abuse he endured daily. It was no surprise that Jericho snapped one day, turning from a frightened performer into a vengeful predator.
With a hole in his left ear as a cruel reminder of the circus’s physical abuse, Jericho’s rage erupted in a sudden act of violence. His trainer, the one who had tormented and beaten him for years, fell at Jericho’s claws. Jericho then took the trainer’s outfit, a symbol of his newfound freedom and independence.
Throughout his time at the circus, Jericho met two other creatures that would change his life forever. The first was a little rat named Frito Chip, who found solace in Jericho’s companionship. The second was Hedger, a mixed canine who was also a victim of the circus’s horrors. Together, the trio formed an unbreakable bond, finding strength in each other to survive their traumatic environment.
After his harrowing escape from the circus, Jericho wandered the barren streets like a ghost, a solitary figure in a world that had shown him nothing but cruelty. The bitter taste of mistrust lingered on his tongue, a reminder of the only way he knew how to survive – by relying solely on his own instincts and cunning.
Yet amidst his harsh exterior lay a hidden power, one that set him apart from any other creature. With a simple glance, his eyes would glow a fiery red, and rats would heed his every command. This unique talent was one that he guarded closely, using it only when necessary to achieve his goals.
Jericho refused to let his painful past define him. Instead, he rose from the ashes like a phoenix, a testament to his resilience and unyielding spirit. Nothing could stand in his way, for he was a force to be reckoned with – a survivor in a world that had tried to crush him.
