Shelley's Backstory I

Shelley was born at the end of the Golden Age. He witnessed the glorious past of humanity and how easily it was destroyed by the Punishing Virus. He was a member of the Diplomatic Court of Babylonia until he came across people who claimed to be "the Forsaken" during a trade with ACA. He then decided to leave Babylonia to stay on the ground and fight for justice and a future that might not exist for these forgotten ones. The leader of the forsaken told him, "The Forsaken don't need Babylonia's cheap sympathy." But Shelley was not discouraged. Instead, he tried to work on an art form called "poetry", recording and celebrating the will and glory of them.

Shelley's Backstory II

The Punishing Virus destroyed everything but failed to vanish the dream and hope in the eyes of a poet. Shelley's poems spread across Babylonia through acquaintances at WGAA. His meaningful yet imaginative poems touched citizens who were completely unaware of the ongoing disaster on the ground. His pen became a more powerful weapon than bullets. Many started to travel around, trying to get in touch with the Forsaken again. And Shelley was gradually accepted by the Forsaken and became one of them. However, Shelley's life ended abruptly. An accident took his life as he took the transport craft to Babylonia as the ambassador of the Forsaken. The craft fell into the sea, and the only thing they managed to get back was his cold dead body. In memory of this comrade who fought with his pen, the Forsaken saved his memory data. Due to the accident, the relations between the Forsaken and Babylonia plumbed new depths. The tension lasted a long time until a commandant mediated between them. Shelley's memory was thus successfully transported to Babylonia and made into a Tactical Memory according to the will Shelley left long before he passed away.
