#### HERO STORY

Ridge was born shortly after the Great Catastrophe in the forests near Professor Mashivarius's laboratory. A powerful wave of radiation changed the surrounding world forever, and it was then that an extraordinary creature was born as the result of an unusual mutation, inheriting the traits of two animals—a beaver and a porcupine.

From an early age, Ridge had to learn how to survive. The forests around Technopolis were full of danger, and constant battles with the Steam Empire's robots hardened his character. He lost many friends in those battles, but each new fight only strengthened his determination to protect the free beastfolk.

Blessed with tremendous physical strength and an unbreakable will, Ridge swore to devote his life to fighting the living iron. He always believed that one day the Resistance would be able to stand against the Steam Empire and restore freedom to those who had lost it.

Fate brought Ridge to the City of Baobabs, where he met unusual allies along the way—a cunning platypus named Scrouplat and the mysterious salamander Gadriel. Despite their different pasts, they were united by one goal—to protect the free beastfolk.

That was how the Avengers Team was formed. They joined the Resistance and began fighting for the future of the world.
