So Dural has an extremely long history due to the fact that he's almost 3,000 years old.
​
As a child, Dural has suffered through some major health issues, and he still has those same issues, since he was born two months premature. At first, a vast majority of the doctors thought he wouldn't survive past 3 years, but he surprised everyone.
​
Dural barely knew his mother. She unfortunately was killed when Dural was very young. The incident that killed his mother was a Death event called Zuku-Heli. It left him scarred with a fear of heights and fear of darkness. So it was just him and his father, Juno, from then on.
​
A couple years after that, Dural had the sudden fascination in science and rebuilding old mechanized toys to have purpose other than what was intended.
And between the ages of 12-17, he studied science nonstop, in school and out. Instead of studying the normal science class within his age group, he was studying highly advanced college courses. Throughout the school years, Dural had been constantly made fun of and bullied due to his small height and extended knowledge of science.
​
Outside of school he would preform experiments in the basement of his apartment building whenever his father wasn't home. At one point he figured out how to create life using his very own materials. After created about a dozen new lives, he started playing around with potions. Now at this time, he had no idea that he held magical abilities, so he believed in the magic of science, and certain potion books from witches. The last potion he ever made when he was 23, was one he created from scratch, and it just so happens to give him the ability to not age and practically be immortal. How he found out about this was due to a traumatizing near-death experience which left him scarred physically and mentally, as well as leaving him with a constant stutter, Ever since that accident he destroyed all evidence of that potion he made so no one else could be cursed.
​
Many years went by and Dural was still very much into science. The Chancellor of the planet's system noticed his incredible skills and smarts when it came to science and gave him the highest scientific rank anyone can get: Professor. This action marked Dural as the youngest in history to be ranked as the Professor, and since there can be only one Professor at a time, Dural was happily stuck in that position until the day he dies.
​
100 years went by after this father died of old age and Dural still held his 23 year old body. He would get many questions from the Chancellors and senate committee, but he would leave them unanswered. During the years as the Professor and with the help of the potion, he was able to do whatever he dreamed of without killing himself in the process. It may leave him seriously injured, but still alive. He would mix dangerous chemicals together just to know what could happen and it results in either one of three things: Exploding in his face, setting him and his lab on fire, or getting thrown across the lab.
His carelessness in these experiments always lands him in the medical center, which he holds the currents record for most injuries done to himself in a single month. Though because of his health issues which gotten worse from childhood, makes these hospital trips a lot more challenging than it needs to be.
​
During his time out of his lab, Dural dedicates his time to learning all the languages in the system so he'll be able to communicate to those who don't know basic. Not only did he study all the known languages out there, he studied all the forbidden and forgotten ones. Succeeding very rapidly, this also made him the head translator whenever the senate is in need.
​
Now Dural's endless time as the Professor isn't all happy-go-lucky for him. His immortality rates him number one on Death's list. Every so often without warning, Death would send a servant to try claiming his soul, which always ends up failing one way or another. But these accounts leave Dural in constant fear for his life. His paranoia slowly crept up to becoming schizophrenia. This left him with hallucinations and major trust issues for his condition would leave him struggling to figure out what was real and what was in his head..
