Esgar

Esgar, formerly known as Edgar Leonard, was a chief scientist who worked for a paramilitary corporate known as "Agency Solutions", there he spend decades researching many different bio engineer projects, one which was project B.E.A.S.T (Battle Enhanced Artificial Suit Technology).

In his world, humans co-exist with a humanoid beast race called "beastmen". After years of conflicts, an uneasy peace between the race were made, but boiling deep inside are uncertainty and distrust toward each other. A beastmen can vastly overpower a human on many physical feats, while humans have to rely on their wits and tricks to take down a single beastmen. Such desire for vitality and strength has led to Edgar's desire to grasp the power of a beastman that can help him deny the aging body of his 50s.

On one faithful day, Edgar was betrayed by one of his superiors, who seek to steal his life project and make it their own. An explosion happened in his facility, Edgar was reportedly dead, however, his body has never been found. The list of employees who were present on that day was completely erased, and Edgar North's civilian ID data on the Repurian government had also vanished without a trace. Then, there were sights of a mysterious metallic silver lion with a pair of glasses roaring in the snowy night, brooding in anger as it slowly disappear into the fog...
