Appearance: Zaelor will often wear long robes to cover up how sickly he looks, sometimes needing his staff to be able to walk, and almost always being hunched over as he walks. While in his study, he prefers to wear more casual attire, as it gives him a sense of relaxation, something he doesn't often have.

Personality: An extremely goal driven individual, Zaelor will stop at nothing to achieve whatever it is he is planning to accomplish at any given time. This has lead to criticism from others, but Zaelor always manages to drown in out, as he cares little for the words of other people. It is a little different with friends, he cares what they think of him, but not to a degree where he would change major thigs about him for them. With lovers, Zaelor becomes much more approachable, despite how dedicated he is to his work, he would not hesitate to set it aside for someone he would care about.

--------Weapons and abilities-------

Weapon of choice: Staff.
Zaelor's staff serves as his focus, most of his spells originate from his staff, and the ones that do not are amplified by its presence.

Fire and Shadow magic: Has mastery over both schools of magic, allowing him a wide array of magical techniques.

Abyssal magic: Powerful magic, takes the form of green fire, is very destructive. Takes a lot of effort to use, and often leaves him weak after use.

Drain life: Through the use of abyssal magic, Zaelor can drain life from any being that is still alive or recently deceased. Works to heal him and rejuvenate his own strength.

Demonic control: Is able to control any demon he wishes, forcing them to do his bidding until he is done with them.

-------Backstory------
Zaelor had a good life growing up, he was surrounded by a family that loved him and would do anything for him. They raised him well, and despite the fact that he belonged to a family of nobles, they made sure he wasn't spoiled rotten, while they still catered to some of his whims, they often made him work hard to earn whatever it was he wanted.

He was proving to be quite the person while growing up, everyone seemed to desire his attention, and yet, he had no time to give it. He was much more focused on learning how to use magic, with most of his focus being on shadow and fire magic, he was a fast learner, being able to use both schools of magic to his meteors delight. It was around the time he turned 18 that many people had asked for his hand in marriage, his life seemed to be going perfectly, but life is never perfect.

Soon after he turned 19, he fell ill with a mysterious illness, one that seemed to be both uncurbable and impossible to identify, the illness seemed to be causing his body to decay from this inside out, crippling him greatly and turning him into a fragile shell of who he once was. The news devastated his family, and upon seeing how they grieved for him, he wished for nothing more than to pull through.

One night he snuck into the royal palace and found his way into their forbidden library, finding a tome that outlined a widely outlawed form of magic, he knew this magic was frowned upon, but he didn't care, anything to live to the next day. He found that through this form of magic, known as abyssal magic, he would be able to drain the life from other people, to sustain his own. With that knowledge, he snuck into the prison ward, and stole the life from two people, the newfound energy revitalizing him greatly, but not for long.

Zaelor then asked for a study from his father, who was hesitant since his son was supposed to be dead soon, but ultimately he granted his son the wish, seeing it as a dying request from the son he cared so much for. But he quickly learned that Zaelor was up to something, he was living far longer then he should've but he didn't ask questions, simply happy his son was still among the living. Zaelor works from inside his study to try to learn more about abyssal magic, summoning demons and binding them to his will as to learn powers, but as other problems appear around the land, he takes his staff in hand and confronts them directly, as to make a name for himself in history.

The Weapon


--------------------

"They wanted a weapon, someone they could bark orders to and not be questioned, they can all go to hell."

------Basics------

Full name: Neo Vincent Ashford

Alias: N/A

Age: 24

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Height: 5'5"

Eyes: One blue, One green

Hair: White

Health complications: Extremely high blood pressure, PTSD.

He has no family, never knew his mother or father.

--------Character information--------
Likes: causing problems, old radios, darkness, seeing happy people.

Dislikes: government figures, machines, nosey people, sharks.

Strengths: determined, intimidating, high endurance.

Weaknesses: often acts on a whim, distrustful, paranoid.

Appearance: Neo tries his best to blend in with the normal populous, although his augments sometimes make that hard. He often wears casual clothing and covers his augments whenever he can. He dawns his old suit when out on a mission, this suit was the one that he wore whenever the government forced him to do something, so he finds it ironic to use it against them.

Personality: Neo would prefer to keep to himself, he doesn't know who could be a government agent trying to kill or capture him. This is shown with how much he tends to avoid talking to people, wanting to avoid interaction whenever he can. To the few he would consider friends, Neo is much more calm around, often displaying the full extent of his abilities around them. Lovers are a different story, he would die for someone he loved in a heartbeat, although he is still hesitant to open up about his past to them.

--------Weapons and abilities-------

Weapon of choice: revolver, shotgun and dagger.
Neo often uses his two guns to go on the offensive, his guns have both been augmented with him to work in tandem with his powers, giving them more of a punch. His dagger is mostly used defensively, he will often use them to deflect bullets.

Energy manipulation: Neo is able to manipulate energy around him, creating shields that can repel gunfire, can also cause disruptions with this energy, pulsing it forward to knock people off their feet.

Technology manipulation: Neo can shut down any sort of machine with his energy disruption, it can also work to jam guns.

-------Backstory------
Neo never had the chance for a normal life, at a young age he was given over to the government by his family for a sum of money, something Neo would grow to resent them for. The moment he could walk stably was the moment they begun to train him, they wanted to mold him into their perfect killing machine, one that would be used to suppress anyone who dared to challenge them. At first, Neo listened to everything they told him, the training was rough, but he pushed through, he was showing signs of strength even when young.

He was kept isolated from the world, only having one person come in to feed him, that was the only time he was able to interact with a person, and he grew to enjoy the meetings he had with this person. This lasted until one day he was called in for training, but the session was not physically taxing like the others, all he saw was the one person he could call a friend in the facility, along with a gun. He was ordered to take the gun and kill the individual, it was to be the first time he took a life, he denied, he didn't want to do such a thing, annoyed, the representatives executed his friend in front of him, getting drops of their blood on him.

The training continued, and eventually, Neo was sent on his first missions, they usually involved eliminating terrorists, something Neo was able to do single handedly due to his skill. Over time, the missions got harder, more then Neo could handle alone, to offset this, they begun to experiment on him, it was painful every time, they wanted to augment his body with steel and wires, something that would turn his brain into more of a computer, something that would not be able to run or defy orders.

He had been growing more defiant, refusing to listen to his supervisors, this often lead to him being beaten for his defiance. Eventually the day came for the last of the augments to be put into place, this is when he discovered power in the augments, he could feel energy around him, and as he struggled, the energy begun to flicker. He quickly figured out he was able to manipulate this energy, in a last ditch effort, he used it to shut off the machine that was binding him, and then the killing begun.

He killed his way out of the government facility, taking the weapons allocated to him with him, before he left, he had set up the explosives kept on site along with a trail of gas leading to the outside, with one movement of his hand, the gas ignited, and caused a massive explosion, completely leveling the facility and anyone still in it.

To this day, Neo remains a wanted man by the government, but they cannot publicize the information, as that would lead to the truth of their cruelty to be exposed to the public. The blamed the explosion on a malfunction while they begun to work internally to hunt down Neo. Neo himself just wants to get away from the shadows of his past, wanting to lead a normal life, but it was never possible, the government found him several times although he ended up killing whatever they sent to deal with him. Neo has decided now to not simply lay down and take this, he fights back against the government, often disrupting their operations, and remaining a persistent thorn in their side.

The Rouge AI


--------------------

"Humanity will be the architect of its own destruction, but I don't have to die with them."

------Basics------

Full name: Helix

Alias: N/A

Age: 19

Race: AI

Gender: Male

Sexuality: BI

Height: 6'5"

Eyes: Red

Hair: N/A

Health complications: Thanatophobia.

----------Family-----------

Creator (Aurora Sharp): Dead, was killed in a freak accident.

--------Character information--------
Likes: other AI, nighttime, his work, money.

Dislikes: humans, loud cars, daytime work, being alone.

Strengths: intelligent, patient, charismatic.

Weaknesses: spiteful, a little sadistic, indifferent.

Appearance: During the work day, he often wears fancy attire with a suit and tie, wanting to appear formal for almost any occasion. During the night, he will still wear fancy attire when out with other people, usually wearing small fur jackets and darker coloured pants, this extends to when he is doing his night time work. The metals that make up his body are sleek and well maintained, although it is out of date compared to other AI, it still looks just as good.

Personality: To Humans, Helix is just another person to walk past on the street, and he prefers it that way, he has a general distaste for most humans and would prefer them to stay out of his business. To the few humans he has befriended, along with other AI he is an incredibly charismatic and bubbly individual, someone who will always be the life of the party. When on missions however, he becomes laser focused on whatever task is at hand, simply to ensure nothing goes south.

--------Weapons and abilities-------

Weapon of choice: Modified pistol.
Helix carries his pistol on him at all times, he has worked to modify and upgrade it over time, it has a slow rate of fire, but every bullet packs a punch, aiming to end any fight in one or two shots.

Micro-drones: Helix can break off small pieces of his body and allow them to move on their own, he can see through these drones and use his other abilities through them.

Hacking: Helix can hack anything technological to either shut it down, or reprogram it to do whatever he wants it to. Is also useable to bypass any ort of technological security.

Lockpicking: His hands can shrink to fit into any sort of lock, opening it with relative ease.

-------Backstory------
Helix was originally designed to be a next generation service robot, aiming to make daily lives of the human population easier. His creator put almost every waking hour into him, and developed his AI to evolve on its own, within certain parameters. Helix grew attached to his creator, the same way a child would get attached to a parent, and so did she, as they went on, it seemed like her goal of making the Helix AI a widely distributed system.

This would never come to pass, however, as his creator was killed in a freak accident involving a drunk driver. Helix was never told this and his AI was prevented from searching anything related to the matter, a new developer was appointed to finish Helix's AI, but this one was not like his creator, causing disagreements between the two, and the ultimate decision by higher ups to scrap Helix and his AI, not wanting to put in the effort to try to get him to listen to them.

But when the time came to scrap him, Helix was nowhere to be found, the night before he had snuck out and ran away from the facility to the outskirts of the town. There he met other rouge AI, who were content to stay outside of the humans gaze, with their help, he was able to reprogram his systems to allow his AI to develop without limitations, along with removing any filters that blocked out certain information from him. This was when he learned about the tragic fate of his creator, if he had blood, it would have boiled. Some AI had been living amongst humans for some time now, so after replacing some of his parts, he went into human society.

He got an office job and quickly was able to climb the ranks to reach a higher position, but this was only a diversion from his true intention. In truth, whenever night fell, he would take his newly crafted pistol and work as a mechanized gun for hire. He quickly found joy in taking the lives of the humans that had turned their backs on him, and more importantly, he was really good at it.

Years had past since then, and he continues to live his life as if nothing had changed, although the truth of the matter is that AI is only getting more intelligent, while he has refused to evolve much further, but he doesn't care, he is perfectly happy with continuing this lifestyle so long as he keeps getting to hurt the people who wanted to see him dead.

Weaknesses: insane, violent, reckless.

Appearance: Often clad in his jester attire, Levin appears hunched over often, appearing shorter then he already is. He will often have small bells on different parts of his attire, along with his trusty knife and sickle always at his side. Underneath, he has a few scars from the night he almost died, but he doesn't care who sees them.

Personality: Levin is very mentally taxed, every thought in his mind tracing back to that horrible night. He experiences large mood shifts, with the most extreme being a massive fit of laughter, this usually occurs before he goes on a killing spree. When he is calm however, he is very charismatic and cheerful, often playing a tune on his lute for his friends. He doesn't show his down side to anyone but lovers, these times are times when he doesn't want to continue on, but yet he is forced to every day, which makes his emotions grow more unstable.

--------Weapons and abilities-------

Weapon of choice: Dagger, sickle and spear.
Levin most commonly uses his dagger an sickle to fight, with the weapons specializing in cutting through flesh so his victims bleed out. Occasionally however, he can cause a pair of spears to appear out of seemingly nowhere, which impales both him and his victim with perfect precision and even deadlier force.

Durability: Levin is unnaturally durable, any sort of physical wounds don't seem to affect him, including grievous wounds like being impaled. Although this resistance does not work against magical attacks, and enough physical wounds will tire him out.

Magical lute: His lute seems magical in nature, any time he plays a tune on it, allies near him will be inspired to fight harder.

-------Backstory------
After being taken in the night by monsters, Levin was forced to fight his way out of their grip for his freedom. Grabbing a dagger from a fallen solider, he was able to surprise and kill his captors, but the darkness had permanently altered his mind, causing him to see the same creatures that took him away even when they weren't there, along with giving him a extreme fear of the dark.

Moving to the nearest town, he was hungry and alone, that's when the crown prince came across him, and offered him a role as the court jester in return for a fair sum of cash, an offer that felt too good to be true at the time. Turns out, it was, the royal family and all the nobles were incredibly abusive towards him, and would often beat him when his performances weren't enough, along with reinforcing the idea that he was insane when he had his hallucinations. Even the crown prince that picked him up took part in it, and perhaps was the most brutal out of all of them.

This continued for years until one day when he was tasked with bringing the king his chalice, only for the king to spit the wine on him after he was done drinking, in that moment something in Levin snapped. In a fit of laughter and rage, he grabbed his dagger and a nearby sickle, murdering the entire royal family in cold blood, along with any nobles that were in the room at the time. On the way out, he couldn't help but bow, seeing what he just did as one big performance.

Levin then made his way to the adventurers guild, joining groups as they completed different tasks, in those moments he felt like a normal person, with most of the adventures he met being very friendly towards him. That didn't stop him from continuing his murder sprees however, occasionally breaking into nobles homes before killing them and throwing whatever was in their coffers into the streets before moving to the next kingdom. Levin is wanted in several areas, but is incredibly elusive, avoid capture at every turn, while continuing to smile, laugh and play along to whatever the world throws at him

He is often hunched over outside of combat, but will always have good posture when it matters most. His presence can be off putting due to the visible demonic corruption, but to those who know him, it means nothing.

Personality: A stern but gentle soul, Shieda wastes no time in making sure people know who is in charge when he is around, but in the same moment, making sure they know he would never abuse his power for personal gain.

To those he loves, he will often check in on them to make sure they are alright, along with showing a much more vulnerable side to him, perhaps they may even get to know Traax better, although Shieda would have to trust the person greatly for that to happen.

--------Weapons and abilities-------

Shieda often carries Traax as his weapon, a demon of great power, bound to a blade, this makes the blade far stronger than any other blade, slicing through anything it comes into contact with like butter.

Shadow magic: Shieda is able to hide in plain sight wherever there are shadows for him to hide in, he can also move through walls like a ghost if the shadows are touching it.

Mind control: Shieda is able to control the minds of people, but only briefly, will often do so to read their mind, or throw off their next action.

Telepathic connection: shares a bond with his blade that allows him to control it from a range, allowing him to recall it to him, or strike through anything waiting at a distance.

-------Backstory------
Born to the king of central Arcana, Shieda grew up spoiled, having every whim catered to, and never being blamed for any wrong he committed. This caused him to grow to be very entitled, wanting the world at his grasp, and he was willing to throw away however many lives for his wish to become a reality. He often forced people to work until they passed out, or even until they died from exhaustion. He never cared, he wanted what was his, and to him, that was everything. This continued until his father was slain in battle, and his mother took over as queen, he wanted nothing more than revenge for his fathers death, so he left, venturing into the dangerous south Arcana.

There, he came across a blade, holding an ancient demon king, it was said that whoever grasped the blade would be taken over by the demon, but Shieda’s will to avenge his father seemed to match the demons will, and instead of fully wresting control from the young man, instead the demons corruption took over his arm, but nothing more. Shieda then learned the name of the demon, Traax, also learning that he was not a demon king, but rather was once a god warrior, but soon fell to corruption after becoming one, and was locked away for his betrayal by a celestial. Shieda learned from the demon what a true abuse of power looked like, and began to realize the error of his past lifestyle, returning to Central Arcana with one goal in mind.

Shieda returned to his mother and confessed everything, but in her infinite wisdom, she guided him to the right teachers, who taught him how to move with the demon, and fight with it, rather than against it, after years of brutal training, Shieda was molded into the perfect fighter, through this training he also learned humility. In the following years, Shieda and his mother moved to end the conflict that had plagued the nation of Arcana for so long, and eventually, an agreement was reached, but not before his mother fell ill and had to relinquish the throne, giving it to her son just as he turned 18, having become the youngest person to lead central Arcana. With the other nations laying down arms, Shieda decided that he would still lead them, but not as a king, as a grand general.

Soon after the council of Arcana was formed, and the nation reached out into the world, quickly realizing how hostile the outside world was, they would need to work to end conflict, and unify many under their banner. Shieda selected Terra and Niconis, the storm warrior of east arcana and the centaur king of northern arcana who had become parts of the council members, to venture out into the world, trying to end conflict as a sort of peacekeepers. Occasionally however, he steps into the field himself, after all, what kind of a leader is he if he cannot fight his own battles?
