The fists of justice - Nosferatu's backstory
ENGLISH
It was a cloudy morning in the peaceful Bamboo Hills, when a mysterious artifact appeared stuck in the middle of the vegetation. The object was a kind of white capsule with a glass lid, which had the number 01 written on it, and at its base, you could see a blue logo with a triangular shape.
The song of the birds and the sound of a nearby creek, eventually woke up who was sleeping inside the capsule. Once awake, the mysterious character felt trapped and with a powerful blow, sent the capsule cap far away from the place, thus freeing himself from his confinement.
He was a boy of no more than 18 years, with a pale face and tall stature. He was dressed in a tight white suit that could not cover his arms and legs, which presented strange scars that seemed to divide his body into fragments.
The boy suffered from amnesia and was scared. After examining his surroundings, he walked to the creek and bent down to drink some water, but as soon as he looked up, he realized that there was an old man sitting on a rock, watching him silently.
The old man was dressed in a yellow suit similar to a robe and had a calm expression on his face. The boy wasn?t sure how long that man had been there, but his presence made him feel uncomfortable, so he moved away from the place to lose sight of him.
After several minutes walking aimlessly through the bamboo forest, the boy ended up finding a plate of buns carefully placed on a wooden stump. He was hungry, so he pounced on the food and began to devour it, but then he looked up and met the old man with a calm gaze once more.
Both remained silent, observing each other, until the old man decided to stand up to make his way back home. But first, he invited the young stranger to have tea with him. The boy could not understand the old man, but the gentleness of his words was enough to convince him to follow him.
That old man?s name was Ming and he was a famous, but reserved, kung fu master. He ran a martial arts school, which was located atop a waterfall. In this temple, Ming gave a home to the young man he found in the bamboo forest, and since the boy could not remember his own name, he decided to call him Shen.
From the beginning, Shen proved to have great potential for combat, because he possessed enormous strength and physical resistance. Besides, Ming could feel a great power hidden inside the boy. A devastating power that would surely have been granted for perverse purposes. For this reason, Ming decided to train Shen, and thus take him on the path of good. But he had to do it away from his school, because he couldn?t train Shen in the same way as his other students.
For almost three years, Ming trained Shen in secret, forging his body and mind, making him a powerful warrior. Thanks to this, Shen began to feel that he could use his abilities to fight for justice, thus adopting a hero attitude. However... questions about his origin and his past did not allow him to have peace of mind.
Ming knew that sooner or later Shen should embark on a journey to find the answers to his questions. And although deep down he was afflicted to see him leave, he was also proud to see him grow.
And so, Shen set out in search of his destiny, adopting the form of hero warrior and calling himself the great Nosferatu, protector of the weak and scourge of evil.
ESPAÑOL
Era una nublada manana en las apacibles Colinas de Bambu, cuando un misterioso artefacto aparecio atascado en medio de la vegetacion. El objeto era una especie de capsula de color blanco con una tapa de cristal, la cual llevaba escrito el numero 01, y en su base, se podia apreciar un logotipo de color azul con forma triangular.
El canto de las aves y el sonido de un riachuelo cercano, terminaron por despertar a quien se encontraba durmiendo en el interior de la capsula. Una vez despierto, el misterioso personaje se sintio atrapado y con un poderoso golpe, envio la tapa de la capsula muy lejos del lugar, liberandose asi de su encierro.
Era un chico de no mas de 18 anos, de rostro palido y estatura alta. El estaba vestido con un traje blanco apretado que no alcanzaba cubrir sus brazos y piernas, las cuales presentaban unas extranas cicatrices que parecian dividir su cuerpo en fragmentos.
El chico sufria de amnesia y estaba asustado. Luego de examinar su entorno, camino hasta el riachuelo y se agacho para beber un poco de agua, pero en cuanto levanto la mirada, se percato de que habia un anciano sentado sobre una roca, observandolo en silencio.
El anciano estaba vestido con un traje amarillo similar a una bata y tenia una expresion tranquila en su rostro. El chico no estaba seguro de cuanto tiempo llevaba ese hombre ahi, pero su presencia lo hacia sentir incomodo, asi que se alejo del lugar para perderlo de vista.
Luego de varios minutos caminando sin rumbo por el bosque de bambu, el chico termino encontrando un plato de bollos cuidadosamente colocados sobre un tocon de madera. El estaba hambriento, asi que se abalanzo sobre la comida y comenzo a devorarla, pero entonces levanto la mirada y se encontro una vez mas con el anciano de mirada tranquila.
Ambos permanecieron en silencio, observandose mutuamente, hasta que el anciano decidio ponerse de pie para emprender el camino de regreso a su casa. Pero antes, invito al joven forastero a tomar el te junto con el. El chico no podia comprender al anciano, pero la gentileza de sus palabras fue suficiente para convencerlo de seguirle.
El nombre de aquel anciano era Ming y era un famoso, pero reservado, maestro de kung fu. El dirigia una escuela de artes marciales, la cual se ubicaba en lo alto de una cascada. En este templo, Ming le dio un hogar al joven que encontro en el bosque de bambu, y en vista de que el chico no podia recordar su propio nombre, el decidio llamarlo Shen.
Desde el principio, Shen demostro tener un gran potencial para el combate, pues poseia una fuerza y resistencia fisica descomunales. Ademas, Ming podia sentir un gran poder oculto en el interior muchacho. Un poder devastador que seguramente le habria sido otorgado con fines perversos. Por esta razon, Ming decidio entrenar a Shen, y asi llevarlo por la senda del bien. Pero debia hacerlo lejos de su escuela, pues el no podia entrenar a Shen de la misma forma que a sus demas alumnos.
Por casi tres anos, Ming entreno a Shen en secreto, forjando su cuerpo y su mente, volviendolo un poderoso guerrero. Gracias a esto, Shen comenzo a sentir que podia usar sus habilidades para luchar por la justicia, adoptando asi una actitud de heroe. Sin embargo... las preguntas sobre su origen y su pasado no le permitian tener paz mental.
Ming sabia que tarde o temprano Shen deberia emprender un viaje para encontrar las respuestas a sus preguntas. Y aunque en el fondo le causaba afliccion verlo partir, tambien le llenaba de orgullo verlo crecer.
Y asi, Shen partio en busca de su destino, adoptando la forma de heroe guerrero y llamandose a si mismo el gran Nosferatu, protector del debil y verdugo del mal.
