==== HISTORY ====

==============
Ryan grew up hearing tales of his people's past.  The Celts, their war against the romans, their war against tyrrany.  His grandfather told him of the old ways, and that the way of his people, the Woad, the celtic shaman, was not dead.  He believed it until his tenth birthday, when his father died.  Then he stopped believing.  Years later his remaining family, including his grandfather, were killed by something.  Some 'thing'.  He didn't run from the fear, he ran towards it.  And awoke to a new reality.
