Interestingly enough when I first came up with the concept of Travis I refused to read the wiki/watch the episodes and instead went entirely off of my memory- you can imagine that’s resulted in some chaos…
However, I’ve learnt to embrace my slightly non-canon complicit little man and I think you guys will too.
Born of the Demon Warlock and the Keepers relic holder, Travis was raised in Tu’la (Specifically Enki’s Island). In the beginning, both of his parents were attentive and loving as they were excited to see their son grow.
Things quickly began to change when Travis sprouted small horns atop his head. His mother was distraught, and for an unknown reason completely refused to care for her son after that. Each morning she would leave him by his fathers portal.
The Demon Warlock was not able to physically take care of Travis from the confines of the dimension that held him, but seeing the mistreatment his son was facing just for being a Demon made him angry. Whatever growth the Demon Warlock may have considered in his journey to be a good person now faded as he witnessed the truth before him.
He’d fought for the Demons the Divine Warriors had slaughtered centuries ago, and now he’d fight for his son. Even if it did make Travis a pawn in his twisted game- the game that never ends; eternal power and recognition.
Thus, Travis grew to be morally grey. He helped his father where he could, gladly listening to the whispers of how he would never be good enough. The thoughts consumed him, so did the promise that once his father was free the world would be theirs to run. This resulted in Travis lashing out and trying to break his father free from his inter dimensional prison one night.
By that time, Travis’ mother had found out exactly what was going on. She managed to stop her son in the process, heart breaking as he wept for she was actually speaking to him properly for the first time in years.
She held him in a hug and decided in that moment she should have never cared he was a demon. He was her son, and she loved him more than life itself. Taking him officially under her wing, she tasked him with delivering goods to various villages and with greeting visitors to the island.
Upon Tu’la breaking out into a war, Travis’ mother got concerned about his safety and ordered him to sail to Ru’aun and settle down in a small village so he’d never be found. She told him she’d find him when it was time to return- and so, Travis found Phoenix Drop shortly before the main team went missing for 15 years.
Travis stopped filing down his horns a while ago, allowing them to grow to their natural length. To a demon, their horns are a sign of their power. Unlike many demons, Travis has 4 horns, 2 on each side. The curvature of them a sign of the damage done by filing them town, but otherwise very healthy horns sat atop his head. As well as this, his fingers gradient into black and markings decorate his skin. Lastly, a triangle tipped tail that’s always swishing side to side (and is also Dmitri and Naoki’s favourite thing to grab, despite Travis’ protests)
Travis was forced to absorb Enki’s relic (which he received from his mentor during the 15 years the main cast were gone) when he was put into a cell in the nether and the shadow knights attempted to take the locket which contained it from him. When he was alone, Travis absorbed the relic. Unimaginable power entered him, his life of immortality began, his father’s voice became quieter, his magic felt harmonising and his clothes changed to the robes he wears in the image.
Travis tore a portal open using his new magic abilities and stumbled out into the overworld where he immediately stumbled into Katelyns arms. The rest has been history.
Now restless upon finding out his mother is dying as the relic no longer grants her immortality and his mind occupied about bigger threats like his father, Travis constructed a small room under his and Katelyns house. Often this is where he hides away from them and comes up with the best way to tackle these various issues. His moral compass is once again slipping as the stress of the world feels only on his shoulders.
Yeah so , I am aware this is nothing like canon Travis and that’s why I kept putting it off!! I was nervous to see what happened ;;
I renamed his parents- His father is Rían Valkrum and his mother is Céline Auguste.
He often goes by Travis Auguste to distance himself from the Demon Warlock. Auguste is the surname used by those that are direct descendants of Enki, however, so instead he just gets attention for that.
Also I forgot how the format works but hope you enjoy! I’m happy to be back (I’m being so Fr, I promise)
