Doctor Kozlorre Felanski = Kazz Lanskife
A Biography
Part 1
Born in the year of 29456, Kazz Lanskife was a healthy kid born into a rich family… The family carrying the proud name “Lanskife” to be more precise... Most of its members saw it more as a “clan” though, since many of them were no relatives to the actual family. Actually, the head of the family, Kazz father, was a direct relative to the famous organization “the mockers” … so of course, the business within the guarded walls was not always as clean as it should’ve been..
Kazz himself, was the only son of Jesson Lanskife, the leader of the family, and thereby he was always expected to live up to his fathers skills, and in time, take over his fathers spot as a leader… why? Because the family had great skills in Concealment, manipulating, spying, and of course using rifles… now, Kazz DID live up to these expectations! In fact, he was very skilled in manipulating people’s minds… some even said that they thought Jesson’s son had a second personality, and who might know if he had? He was a very secretive person, and the kid mostly kept any information to himself… his father had the same symptoms, a somewhat distrust to anyone near them… some people, they easily trusted; somehow knowing this person could be trusted. others would need years to earn the father or his sons trust…
But to get back to the story about Kazz life! We need to jump back to the massacre in the town of Newland back in 29463, when the Omni-Tek stormed the city in an attempt to gain the upper hand in the war against the clan…
The Lanskife family had stood up against the unicorn troops when they first arrived at the city. Ambushing them from the roofs, they added several losses to the omni-tek’s top trained units. Leaving behind confused soldiers who didn’t know what to do without orders… that’s how the fight begun, and for several months. The omni-tek launched attacks after attacks on the small city…. While the fight was raging, Kazz was hidden away in different families around rubi-ka… families who were in “debt” to the Lanskife clan…
After 5 months of fighting, the omni-tek launched one final attack, murdering countless members of the Lanskife family in the middle of the night. Afterwards the omni-tek troops pulled back, leaving the ruins to be rebuilt by the neutral civilians.
For the neutrals, the city was rebuilt in no time, using the droids which were provided to them by the government controlling the neutral city of Borealis..
For Kazz though, he had to wait for a week before hearing the terrible news of his fathers death.. Kazz was devastated of course, but he did not get time to mourn in any way, as he was thrown onto the streets by the family taking care of him.. with the fathers death, they no longer had a debt to pay the Lanskife Clan…
At first, Kazz had no wish nor knowledge on how to survive on the streets, and therefore he was close to dieing of starvation and freezing… and in the middle of the night, September 23rd, he remembered some words his father had once told him.
“if a human being cannot survive on its own by following the laws. Then they do not deserve to live… however my son! It’s in unity that the strength to survive is found, and that strength is even greater than the bonds of families… so, if you ever need to survive on your own, unite yourself with someone your age, and use whatever deed necessary to survive! Break the law if needed!”
These words would’ve seemed meaningless to any normal person, but to Kazz it was the wise words of his idol, his father. And so his life started to take shape in a whole different direction… towards thievery and crime…
*several years later, somewhere in a Neutral city*
“Will! Hey WILL! Wait up man!!”
I felt my legs getting heavier as he stopped running and turned to look at me.
“dude! You’ve got to wait up a little! I’m not the one with the NCU-Belt and the nano-program for running”
I bent over, feeling the rough scratch in my throat as I began coughing.
“Kazz, I know you can’t keep up, but we’re working on that! See? Why do you think we were in that shop?”
He lifted up a small crystal containing the program for Quickness, grinning the smile he always had on his face when he’d been on the edge of the law.
As I opened my mouth to answer him, we heard the footsteps of the guard chasing us, and quickly began running again, this time however, will made sure to run beside me… we soon reached the small hut we called our “hideout”.. a bad looking place, on the edge of falling apart. But it was our home at least! And as I threw myself on the pillows we’d stolen from a nearby transport line, I couldn’t help but to chuckle a little.
As we used the next minute, relaxing from all the running, I thought back on my life, and something important came in mind.
“Hey will? Do you know what today is?”
I couldn’t help but to grin a little as his face looked puzzled by the sudden question.
“Dun know, never cared too much about dates and calendars. What day is it?”
I did remember he never knew what date it was, only time of the year he kept controlling it, was in the summer, when the days were warmest.. He had birthday in that time.
“Today’s exactly a year since we met first time, you do remember that right?”
“He burst into his childhood laugher, reminding me that he was a year younger than me, even though he seemed so much more experienced.
“Of course I remember Kazz! Like I’d ever forget a thing like that!... has it really been that long already?”
Kazz Lanskife’s friend was always like that. He had a bad memory for some things, but was pretty good at everything else. A multi-tasking genius.
They’d first met a year ago, about a week after Kazz had stabilized his life again. He knew that living on the streets was tough, and that knowledge might explain why he decided so strongly to help out Will when he first met the starving boy on his own age…
Now, these two boys, they rarely talked about feelings… Kazz, because of his fear to be stabbed, his distrust. And will because of his background. it involved so much slaughtering that Will was very frustrated from time to time, as he had some kind of great hatred towards the omni-tek.. A wish for revenge… Between these two friends, talking history were not even necessary…
They understood each other’s silence…
