Fungal Blade is a charismatic, cheeky man who may appear to be cheery and dumb to an ignorant eye. He loves playing pranks, eating food, and sparring. Though a talented swordsman, he is hesitant to use his own strength; He much prefers to use smart social tactics before entering into direct conflict.
Sister Conkrillen - Wife. Loved her passionately until his death bed.
Stem Origin - A beast who was ever so large and brutal. Though, like with Hive Malfunction, he knew any goliath could be beat with a proper tactic.
Hive Malfunction - A beast he knew was strong... Yet he knew nimbleness beat strength any day.
Sister Concordia - A woman that he could tell was disillusioned by something greater than them both. It was not his choice to have her killed.
Fencien Armeldia III - Direct descendant.
Lunch Armeldia - Direct descendant.
Fungal Blade was a misbehaving child with a bottomless stomach. He was thrown out of his village at the mere age of 13 for stealing a majority of their rations for several weeks in a row. Forced to survive in the wild, Fungal Blade grew up by nomadically living off the land. He fought various Fungal Plain creatures, including wandering Stem Slimes, for food and water. He went from tribe camp to tribe camp, gaining infamy between the hostile groups as a thief who has incredible stealth abilities, unrivaled swordplay, and a monstorous appetite.
Caught during one of his many attempts at stealing a camp's stored rations, the tribal Stem Rams planned to burn Fungal Blade for his treachery. Pleading with them, he promised he'd rid them of the notorious Hive Malfunction; All he would need to do this is the loyalty of their men. Allowing this course of action out of desperation, the tribesmen followed Fungal Blade's lead. Together they took down the beast using Fungal Blade's Stem Slime hunting knowledge. Submerging it in water to melt its feet, flaming arrows hardened the beast's body and boiled its brain.
Though its body was mostly hardened and inedible, a feast was had. This celebration was not made to last, sadly. The Fungal Core's Stems village began their raid; They came in like a tsunami, taking Hive Malfunction's slime for themselves. Deciding action must be taken against the Stems cult for greater Fungal Plains people to thrive, Fungal Blade made a plan with the tribe's head.
Fungal Blade carted the hardened body of Hive Malfunction around the Fungal Plains, attempting to convince other tribes to join his adopted tribe in obtaining their freedom from the Stems' tyranny. Though it took a year for the disgruntled and hungry people of the Fungal Plains to all agree, the increasing pressure from Stems was too much. The elders came to the previously criminal Fungal Blade for a war plan.
A plan was set into action. When the Stems' raid bell rang around the Fungal Plains and their soldiers went to go pillage, Fungal Blade and an army of tribal men, women, and children stormed the center of Stem Island. A bloody battle took place, the vengeful Stem Ram tribesmen slaughtering the Stems cult people mercilessly. As the raiding parties returned with piles of loot, the battle escalated in size and bloodshed.
A 25 year old Fungal Blade met with Sister Concordia in the giant church of Stems. They shared a small conversation about what life, death, the past and future all meant in the grand scheme of things. By the way she spoke, he got the feeling that she didn't realize the lunacy of her own words. Stem Origin was called, soon emerging from the church depths. Fungal Blade skipped through the blood covered Stems roads to avoid the beast. Thinking quick, he set the town ablaze, using his small size to roll under burning debris to escape Stem Origin. He watched as the mushroom beast roast as she attempted to crawl over collapsing buildings.
The remaining Stems citizens watched as the invaders beheaded Sister Concordia. Fungal Blade oversaw the remaining Stems people swear off their previous deity and the horrific practices she advocated for. The Fungal Plains tribe leaders, all wishing to keep a sense of unity, wanted Stems to be rebuilt as a neutral ground. Fungal Blade was elected as leader, a role which he humbly took. The Stems council of 12 was officially formed.
Fungal Blade personally oversaw the reconstruction of Stems, helping the previously violent group find a more peaceful and inclusive outlook on life. The warrior personally dealt with any who wished to keep to the old, violent ways. He met ex-Sister Conkrillen during this time, the two of them hitting it off with their equally infectious personalities. They had several children within the next year; These children would be raised to advocate for unity between Stems and the other tribes.
Fungal Blade contracted an unknown disease 30 years after the Battle of Stems had ended and the new neutral city of Stems was erected in its ashes. He died as a hero to most. In his last moments, he was happily surrounded by his wife and 9 children.
