Once upon a time there was a brave and gallant knight known as Joupasta (gender unspecified in the ancient texts). Joupasta was a Knight most quixotic, yet they too, had a tragic past. During the Great Mailbox wars of 1854, the prophet Valeshin led her armies of chickens and various other farmlife across the land of the heathens who dared to violate the sacred mailboxes of the Mail Gods Epolavne and Rettel. Joupasta was unwittingly born into the society of one of these 'pagan' cultures, and witnessed the death of (their) parents at the hands of undead zealots armed with plastic cutlery, and the terrible, sharp talons of the chickens (whom everyone knows to be the sacred beasts of the Mail Gods).

Lost and alone as little more than a wee lad/lass (possibly both - possibly neither), Joupasta was eventually found by a rampaging dragon who was burning the countryside. But, this was no ordinary dragon.. this was Derpicus, the High-King! Lord of all Derpgon kind! Derpicus took pity on the small gender unspecified humanoid, and took them in, under one of his massive leathery wings.

Derpicus brought Joupasta forth to the Great Oracles whom told the King of a prophecy that had been fortold upon the eve of Joupastas birth - that the coming of the Great One, The Hero of Ages, had arrived - The Squidliquifier.

The King roared in shock and awe - this tiny creature couldn't possibly be the hero of legend! He looked down once more at the squealing babe in his arms, and made a decision. He would raise Joupasta as his own, and teach it the ways of his people, so that the tiny monster could become a blade for the Derpgons, and perhaps one day.. all of Dragon kind, as well.

The years passed, and the Joupasta grew strong and lean, and very hairy (on it's head, of course, and also it's knees. KNEES.). The would-be hero did not dissapoint, although tragedy was soon to strike again.. for it was not for peace that the fates had intended them.

In the fifteenth year of the heroes life, they went upon a maiden voyage with the great weaponsmaster, Herbaderg. Herbaderg was a kind, strong man, and he and Joupasta soon fell into a flowering romance that was all amazing and full of nondescript making out, and what-have-you. It was not to be, however. One evening they lay basking in one anothers arms, worshipping the others bodies, when he rolled over on to a jellyfish that had washed up on the shore.

ALAS! Herbaderg was allergic to jellyfish! He died in Joupastas arms that night, as the hero held the dying man, tears spilling from their glistening, very likely colorful, eyes.

Herbaderg pulled Jou close, hissing his last words to his pupil, eyes slowly rolling back into his head.

"... Promise me something."

"Anything! *sob sob*"

".... you... you will get revenge...for...my...ECK"

Joupasta burst out sobbing uncontrollably, gripping the man tightly to their chest and looking up into the sky. From that day forth, Joupasta became known as the Jellyfish Slayer ...The Squidliquifier.
