Persona
Daffy was born in the Shire of the Mushroom Shrine in the Kingdom of the Wetlands. His training in the arts of combat first came from his childhood friend Draxkull. He learned many things and traveled the surrounding land of the Wetlands in search of more training. He was always restless and wanted to travel the world and learn about other civilizations and their customs. On his 18th birthday he had saved enough money to gain passage on a merchant ship heading to the land of the Orient. He planed to visit many places after but, little did he know that as soon as he reached his first destination, his life would change forever.
Daffy arrived and started walking toward the village, when he noticed a young girl in the water drowning. Daffy jumped in, saved the girl, and escorted her to her home. He soon learned that the girls father was the daimyo, or lord of the village. After learning of the rescue of his daughter, he soon took Daffy under his wing and into his home. This was a great honor and a rare thing offered to an outsider.
Years past, a civil war erupted between various clans. The Emperor sent out a decree that all outsiders were to be put to death if found. In return the daimyo's lord notified him as well. He was saddened by this because he had grown fond of Daffy but, he could not disobey his liege lord. The daimyo sent for Daffy and advised him of the situation, he understood so he didn't question it. In the morning, Daffy said his goodbyes and was on his way to the ship when guards stopped him and told him that the daimyo wanted to see him right away. He arrived back at the home and was taken to a great room. Inside, many people sat lined up on both sides of the room. Daffy was motioned to sit at the far end of the room behind a figure that was sitting on a raised platform.
The figure then turned toward him and spoke, the whole room was silent. "I am Lord Yoshido, my brother is the daimyo of this village. He has kept me informed that you have learned our ways. Do you know what it means to be Samurai?" Daffy responded quickly "To serve my lord" Lord Yoshido then continued. "I send you away because I must but, I believe you have served me from the time you rescued my niece until now."
Standing up he spoke loudly so the whole room could hear his words. "It is the duty of the Samurai to serve his lord no matter what, and even though you are not Samurai, that is what you have done. "He then handed Daffy a folded envelope with the Yoshido Household symbol on it. "A Samurai does his duty and should not expect rewards for his service but, from time to time his master may choose to reward him." He then stood firmly in front of the room and spoke while motioning to Daffy. "I, Lord Yoshido decree that from this day on, Daffy will be known as Daffy Yoshido and he will also be Samurai. For this, he could stay and at least complete the last of his training. A year later, Lord Yoshido was assassinated along with his bloodline but, not before Daffy was smuggled out of the country and out of enemy hands. Daffy vowed to himself that one day he would restore the name Yoshido.
Daffy Yoshido returned to the Kingdom of the Wetlands and continued to practice. He fought many wars and became a great Samurai. He eventually grew weary of battle and decided to settle down and start a family. Though, he continued to serve the kingdom whenever it called upon him, years past and the kingdom called on him less and less. His life was quaint and there came a time came when there was no need for a Samurai anymore but, his adventurous side began calling him as it did before. He packed up his family and traveled again, to a new land known as the Kingdom of Crystal Groves.
There he settled in The Shire of the Harbour of Rhye. He soon joined a band of warriors known as the Spartans of the Rhye. He fit in great and quickly moved up to the rank of Polmarch/Second in Command. Daffy stayed with the Spartans and fought many battles with them but, had no sooner called them family when an unknown darkness crept into the Harbour of Rhye and corrupted some of its people.
Many were lost to the darkness including the Spartans. Daffy was unaffected by the evil and shortly banded together with those left in HoR to fight back and restore the shire. Upon restoring HoR, he became Sheriff and then Man-at-Arms to Lord Manama Proster, who also introduced him to a band of warriors known as Tower.
Upon hearing his deeds in defense of the shire, the Queen of the Kingdom of Crystal Groves, Duchess Katrina awarded Daffy Yoshido the title of Lord. Daffy had vowed long ago to return the name Yoshido once again to glory, and now that vow was being fulfilled.
Daffy continued training with Tower until leaving them for his awaited return to the Wetlands.
