History
Screech was born in the Kingdom of Gungwa. As one of Two possible heirs of House Dutu. The other being his brother, known as Bolt With their father being the reigning king, the two were the current princes. They spent most of their life in the Nation’s capital. And, though they were clearly members of the aristocratic class, they spent much of their time among the common people. One could say that their father was somewhat distant, due to the amount of time he had to spend on running the country, but, nonetheless, he made as much time for them as he could. The family was close. Something that was exceptionally visible with his Brother. Along with doing things normal for their age. Much of their time was spent training for battle, as was common for Gungwa’s nobles. He gained a number of friends from different social classes. And enjoyed his blissful young life, the same could be said for the rest of the Kingdom… But, the writing on the wall pointed at a certain event. Another war with their longtime enemies, the Empire Of Jimund.

The War Of Transgressions

On the day of the twin’s 15th birthday, the empire of Jimund began their campaign into Gungwa’s land. While his brother Bolt took command of his own squad, Screech did as well. Though, unlike Bolt, Screech mostly hung out in the back. Even prior to his discovery of his ability’s true nature, His tremors proved to be very damaging to the Jimund’s efforts. He would gain his own level of infamy as his expertise grew in combat, even more so after Gungwa’s forces attempted an incursion into the Jimund homeland. With much of the border heavily fortified, their force’s only choice was to move through a bridge, going over a large gorge. seemingly left understaffed, giving what their recon told them.

However, faulty information would nearly lead to their destruction, A large Jimund force springing from the bottom of the gorge, as well as the other side of the border. They were unfortunate enough to engage in battle with a Jimund General known as “Kreis The Butcher”. Known for both his Tactical and Strategic knowledge, as well as his brutality. This, combined with their force being unprepared, led to a battle that didn’t end well for Screech and his allies.

They were surrounded on both sides, with the enemy dancing around them. They were surrounded on all sides, with their allies dropping like flies. And despite how much he tried, Screech’s attacks had barely done anything. This continued for hours, and hours, until the hedgehog finally broke his limits. Dipping into his internal pool of Impulse. His subsequent first activation of Maelstrom mode allowed him to defeat Kreis the Butcher in battle. Allowing for the enemy's forces to fall into chaos, for just long enough to make an escape. Though, after what he’d experienced, the boy tried to keep his head up, keeping his previous, happy demeanor up, in an attempt to keep morale from falling, to some success. What followed was a small amount of skirmishes, before they were recalled to the capital, to battle a Jimund Force.

Screech and Bolt’s forces united in the city, and they began to make their way through, showing their power, and teamwork. With what would have been a legacy built around them forming during the battle. Had it not been for what happened next, The Jimund Emperor, Inatios, as well as his Loyal General, Kaim arrived to fight in the battle, personally. With the former intercepted by the princes’ father, the Two were left to battle General Kaim. Who used a Biomechanical suit of armor, known as the Ultima Raiment. The two nearly faced death multiple times across this battle, their teamwork being one of their two saving graces. The other being Screech learning of his ability’s true nature, that being, vibrations. The high frequency vibrations,and high pitched sound and Something that proved to disrupt the general’s control over the suit. They eventually managed to pull out a victory. But, any celebration was short, as they were thrown away from the city by the battle between their father, and Inatios.

Screech was conscious somewhat longer than his brother. Enough to see a hedgehog he did not recognize placing both of them on a boat that would promptly sail off into the ocean.

Arrival in a New World

Screech and his brother didn’t know how long it’d been, and where they were, relative to their home. But they both recognized the foreign environment they were in. Comparatively Primitive technology, as well as a language dissimilar to any of the cultures in their homeland. Regardlessly, they began to adapt to this metropolis called Nexus City. They would go to school there as well, gaining many of those they considered to be friends. The two, during this time, had their fair share of disagreements, but were still fairly close. Eventually, however, Screech would leave to explore the world at 17. Something one would expect for his free-spirited personality.

Though, for all of their disagreements, Screech and His brother agreed on one thing, finding out what happened to their home. As such, much of his time has been dedicated to that. Occasionally dipping back into Nexus to inform his brother of what he found out. Though, it was usually very little. But he refuses to give up nonetheless.
