Boc

Boc is a rooster born in 679 to impoverished farmers Dorma and her lackadasial husband, Ballow in Pilmawaker Farms. Not long after his birth, his father Ballow abandons the home, taking a train to Saldran, where he spends the rest of his life disconnected with his son and his wife, after sending his son off to the boarding home 9172 , in Arnsdale , far south. Boc is raised in the harsh environment of the boarding home by religiously strict nuns. He spends his first vital weeks of life at 9172, before he is transferred, along with a caravan of others, to the Coop just before the start of the 681st season.

From there on out, Boc grows up in a time of political and social unrest. Jerk Barbarosa unveils an operation called Project Uprooting, thus leading to a dictative state of government at the Coop and at other various settlements. Boc runs away from the Coop to avoid taking a job working under Jerk and his party, primarily because he claims he "does not wish to be told what to do." Leaving the Coop, Boc proposes he is going to travel to sacred holy grounds called Hesoughntrah, and decides he is never going to return to the Coop, or to Jerk, unless it is to prove that he is worth more than a worker under the influensive giant.

On his journey, Boc learns more about the boarding home he had once lived at, after meeting a young hen named Natalie. She explains to Boc that the boarding home was going to be burned down, as part of a "purge" that the nuns were perpetrating against those that lived there. Later, the Myronburg Guard discovers the town of Arndale in total dissaray and the boarding home 9172 burned to the ground.

Boc later meets his long-lost father, and learns of the tragic tale of the existence of a poor, common worker. During the Great Drought (665-677), many of the farmers lost their crops and their jobs, thus leading to economic instability and financial loss. Boc learns that Ballow had no choice but to send his son away to the boarding home. Later, though, Boc discovers that he has a brother--a son that was not sent away from his parents to the boarding home. Boc painfully finds out that he is an illegitimate son of Ballow and a desperate relation.

Toward the end of his adventure, Boc is captured and sold into slavery, and is eventually sent over to Amaridia, while the trouble on the homefront only becomes greater. The country is essentially divided, and the Thwart Nation finds this an opportune time to attack.
