Once a upon a time, there was a small village of wood elf living peacefullly in the village of Iredale. They lived in the trees, their clothes were made of leaves, natural fabric and leather. Deep in the woods, the families needed to work together to have everything they needed. Some of them were specialized in cultivating the edible berries, some in hunting, and some in making the clothes and many other things. There was one family that was particularly more important, the Wonshakra's, they constituted of Sage, who was kind of the leader of the village, everyone looked up to her, she carried the history and the knowledge. And Every, who teaches hunting and self defense. Both of them would do anything to protect their people.

They had a beautiful daughter, Willow Wonshakra. Blue eyes and long blond golden hair, she was the tallest of her people and the strongest. When she was just a baby, there was a attack in a village and they had to move. Willow doesn't know what exactly happened, but she her parents told her some kind of machine attacked them and killed 3 people including her grandmother Marguerite.
Sage and Every made sure she was ready if something like that ever happened again. With the intelligence of her mother and the strength of her father, she could avenge them one day. To add to this, Willow also had a special gift. She was not like the other elfs of the village. She was able to shift to any form of creature, from an eagle to a wolf.
Her mother helped her with rigorous training to be able to shift on demand and control the shift perfectly. Her father helped her be a warrior, able to fight and to be strong. By the age of 18, she was the best of the village at the longbow and could fight anybody with a Scimitar.
She was an only child and for sure the star of the tribe.

By the age of 80, she wanted to discover the wold and decided to wonder off a little bit and explore the forest of Iredale. After a couple hours of walking, she found what looked like a piece of metal buried under a tree. Curious, she started to dig up what was hidden. After a couple minutes, she found a head, not a normal head, it was made out of wood and metal. She dug up some more and discovered it was a full body of the same materials. She looked at it with such amazement, she never saw something like that before. It didn't look alive meaning she couldn't feel anything spiritual out of it.

Suddenly, a electric sound came out of the machine, and it opened its eyes and got up off the ground. Willow was stunned, the creature was over 6.5 feet tall and very big. A light was coming out of the center of his chest, a big mark was over his shoulder and the majority of the metal was very rusty.
The machine sat down and closed its eyes again before he opened them back up a couple seconds later. It stood up and just stared. Willow thought to herself how his eyes didn't look evil, but much rather depressed and confused.
"Hello??" Willow said while tapping his shoulder. "Are you ok?"
The machine started to do multiple electrical sounds and its head turned to look at Willow.
"Bippp. Hello. Who are you? Where Am I?" The machine said with a robotic talk.
"You are in Iredale. I am Willow, a wood elf. I just found you here. You don't remember how you got there?"
"Buppbipppp. No. Don't remember anything. I don't even know my name."
"Well you sure are damaged, something must have happen to you, but strangely, I feel like I need to help you, why don't you come back with me to my village."
"You woke me up. I will follow you."
"OK, well before we go, I think you need a name! How about Rusty?"
"Bipp bupppbipp. Ok new registered name Rusty."
They then walked to the village.
