Re-cap / Current Events

The New Alliance
A new alliance was formed through the agreed upon threat of Nuxta looming over the Kingdoms. It was through the eyes of Vrondi's Seer of all did they embrace the knowledge of the past. To seek the answer to disarming Nuxta of his known greatest protection. Vrondi's old armor made of the Dragon God's scales. It was observed through time that the world was once whole and covered in various species of life. But through a cataclysmic war did it become as it is now. It was also seen that the original seraph the ancestor of all descendants defeated the Dragon God through unknown means. It was decided then that the only hope was to attain a hammer that was used to forge the armor. This hammer was within a dangerous mountain territory surrounded by wyverns. It was decided by the Kings and Queens to allow a force of volunteers to go out and retrieve this item.

Vrondi's large yet confined castle halls allowed one of their rarest of bloods to travel with this group to legitimize its standing and possibly attract other high bloods to join and lead its ranks. If a young woman unable to wield a sword Ami Lovegood was truly meant to travel under the protected guide of the alliance to heal the lands and observe Nuxta's defilement of their world and reverse it as only she can. Despite her new found freedom she was soon followed by a group of knights from Vrondi led by a Vrondi royal who claims love for her.

The new alliance group has come across the blights on the land while heading to Gaia and have recently arrived to the town of Pearl to rest and to help one of their members who has suddenly fallen for an unknown reason.

The Dark Awakening
Lila Moriarty now was married to Anui. Yet she was soon met with his mother who was happy to see him yet very unhappy to see Lila. Growing immediately suspicious of the young girl she forced her away to separate her from Anui. With little defiance Anui let her be taken. Promising they would be together again soon. Whilst locked away Lila's last name, Moriarty, was discovered to be a old bloodline with no relatives left alive. This was due to the Aion long ago. Through information on many of the Aion's attacks on Therosi and Nero jointed groups Lila's hands was covered with blood spilled for their enemy. Due to the recent massacre of royals by the Aion Lila was sent to trial for all of their deaths. Whilst under the judgement of the royal council Lila was commanded to defend herself.

While Lila undergoes trial a sleeping dragon was awakened beneath the city of Nero. An ancient beast from the dark and of unknown history. While Nero was oddly enough free from any attacks when Nuxta made his simultaneous assault on the kingdoms across the land, it now had a problem far greater than a army of cultists.

Old Recap #2

The Bride of Blood
After the bloody attack of the Aion on the blood banquet many Nero royals were struck with fear, injuries or death. The Therosi and the Dolofon along with the Nero forces were enough to push back the Aion. Their sacrifices not in vain however as many of the slaves being sold were saved that day. Left behind were the fallen seraphim slain for what they believed to be a noble act, but also left behind was Lila. A daughter of the night but a Aion no less. She was smitten by a Nero royal and like wise he too was enchanted by her strength and grace.

The two were privately wed before the night fell and Lila no longer has the Aion as her comrades. Now she resides in the castle of Nero, home of the King and his bloodline. Wed to Anui Mythue, the Kings nephew. Only the morning can tell what will become of her as a new dawn awakes over all beings beneath the suns light.

The Kings Relic
After the Aion returned with slaves the king of Vrondi was pleased enough to allow Mirror's new band of travelers, or anyone willing to try, a chance to get their desires met. All he asked is the safe retrieval of an old relic of his. It was not far but down the path and through the forest to a small mountain before a river. There they were met by bandits and a ancient beast and water nymph was awakened by the struggle. Soon the bandits were dispatched and the beast and nymph allowed safe passage. With a renewed respect for nature the group continued on and met the relic they sought. A old woman, a crystal ball and her ability to see into the past. Illia was her name. She was in trouble however. The bandit leader was aiming to capture her for her own gains, her name was Siiga. Whilst another aimed to kill the woman. Her name was Ganymede, a underling of Nuxta and a charmer of Basilisks.

The battle was hard fought. With the freed slave Mason turned rookie Aion knight pulling the Seer to safety before she was harmed. Ganymede retreaded into her mist and vanished from the mountain. Her mission failed. The others carried themselves back to the capital of Vrondi and one named Constance had compassion in her heart for the bandit leader who was nearly killed by Dremmick and Mason. With a reluctance the bandit leader accompanied the group to achieve their reward from the king and see to it that the Seer was brought home.

The Alliance is Born
After returning Illia who turned her form into a beautiful young woman the group came together to meet the royals of every kingdom save for most of the Nero kingdoms bloodlines. They were presented their gifts or ways or promises to help them in their wishes and were sent away. The Kings and Queens of the world have decided to form an early alliance to combat the threat of Nuxta. This early alliance's first mission will be to retrieve a hammer which is rumored to be able to break the armor of Nuxta and allow the descendants a chance at victory.

Last Night
A terrible battle was waged near the towns and capitals of every territory save for Nero. These cultists who attacked were concentrated on the land of Vrondi. The most decisive battle happened outside of Sunfire. This is where reports from Vrondi intelligence has said a man named Nuxta, claiming to be the lord of death and a pure divine appeared with unknown intentions. He managed to steal control of the Guardian, the King of Vrondi's sacred armor which acted on its own to protect their land. Reports of help from massive dragons of fire, the Aion, the Taxis, Vrondi's elite soldiers, and even the Aion's leader Mirror appearing to help did not defeat Nuxta.

Even further a Basilisk Queen, a massive serpent that has taken shape into a giant mysterious woman to be Nuxta's bride had appeared. Such a form was more elegant but still monstrous... Nuxta and his new wife rode off into the moon's light on the back of a white horned black dragon. Claiming to be returning to their kingdom to consummate their marriage and bring into this world a prince to rule the twilight.

This night has prompted the world to act in some significant way.

The Royal Meeting
Within the morning hours of the new day the royals of each land rise to make their way to the Vrondi castle. There they will meet and speak on the horrors of the earlier nights. Each King and Queen will be attending and arriving in style was what most of them did. Fotians by airship, Gaians by dragon, Tearians by magic and technology. A festival is also being held within the capital walls of Vrondi. This is to celebrate the unified wills of the descendants of all over the lands.

The quantity of quality is close to bursting as people frolic in the sunlight. Attempting to heal from the lives lost and forever changed last night. So far the show is being displayed both on the streets and inside the halls of the castle. Meanwhile the King and Queens have all joined a room to speak in private on what will be done about protecting their well being, hopefully, together.

The Blood Banquet
In contrast to the Royal Meeting there is a Blood Banquet being held. Here blood flows freely into the eager mouths of the Nayu royals None had chose to go to the bright sunny home of the Vrondi. Instead they sell their seraphim slaves, purchase the finest ones for their tastes, and meet other royals who enjoy a good time like a Nayu. Exclusive only to the rich and a masquerade mask is worn by most here. However in secret there are diabolical plots.

The Banquet is being visited by the Therosi. They seek a blood vile of the original seraphim of this world. The Aion also hide within these castle walls. They seek to crash this party and save as many seraphim possible, they too seek the vile of the seraphim blood. The final known group are the Dolofon. Allied to the King of Nero they are protectors of the blood vile and their one goal is to kill the leader of the Therosi whom is said to be attending this party in secret. Yet none knows who they are.

[drewccapp]

Hello, hello! Fresh recruit here! Just wrapped up the first draft of my character.

Aeden

Name: Aeden Demavend
Age: 39
Bloodline: Pure Seraphim

Appearance: Aeden’s eyes are a stunning electric blue and a halo of the same color. His black hair only serves to accent the attention grabbing factor of those two features. He bears scars up and down his wrists from a failed suicide as well as all over his body from Therosi rituals. In spite of his scars and his physique his skin retains a very healthy appearance likely due to his bloodline. He has feathered ethereal wings that are the same color as his eyes and halo.

Group: Member of the Aion and Former Slave of the Therosi

Physique: Having been kept as a vessel for many Therosi blood rituals for the first half of his life Aeden’s phsyical development is somewhat stunted. He stands shorter than average with a lean build.

Abilities:

Extraordinary Pain Tolerance: Many of the rituals Aeden suffered through were agonizing. Due to the rarity of his bloodline the blood ritualists were incentivised to keep him alive, however that did little to reduce the often grand cruelty they put him through. Eventually he became so used to pain that only the worst of wounds or the proper amount of blood loss will slow him down.

Divine Grace: Some are blessed with strength, and some wisdom. Aeden has an almost unnatural grace to his movements. While this certainly aids his ability to avoid being struck by your average soldier the greatest strength of this ability is that it allows for ease of movement in even the most difficult terrain and it allows for him to maintain a light step granting him a good advantage with the stealthy approach.

Divine Sight: Aeden’s eyes allow him to see magical effects that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. He cannot be blinded magically, and can see magically obscured objects, although with enough magic covering the object he may not have a clear view of whatever object he can see.

Bad Juju: Having suffered at the hands of Blood Ritualists and their spells Aeden is able to instantly recognize blood magic in almost all of its forms except those that require an entire life. He can also recognize any object used specifically for such rituals and their purpose.

Spells:

Blessed Spear: Aeden can conjure a spear of divine energy that he can use as a weapon that acts normally against most foes and is super effective against undead and Chaos-born monsters. He can throw said spear, but it will not maintain a solid and harmful form for more than thirty paces away from him. As an extra benefit it can be used as a torch.

Cure Wounds: Awakened upon his one and only attempted suicide, Aeden’s desire to live proved to be stronger than his wish to die. So long as he focuses his ability on one person he can quickly heal wounds with more severe injuries taking longer than minor wounds. Unfortunately, he could not hide this ability from the slavers and they took advantage of it to bleed him more aggressively than ever before. Minor at first, after his rescue the Aion trained him the best they could to get it to a proper cure spell.

Protection From Chaos: As a member of the Aion, Aeden has learned how to cast a ward that protects a person or object from the effects and minions of Chaos. The protection is not perfect, however it prevents mental manipulation, protects from most Chaos spells by either reducing their effect or stopping them completely depending on their power, and it prevents physical bodily contact from the minions and monsters of Chaos. The spell lasts for an hour, but if worn down enough the effect can end sooner.

Pet:

Nyph the Pseudodragon

Nyph is a trickster with good intentions that Aeden rescued from a slaver early on in his time with the Aion. The pseudodragon made the decision to adopt the young Seraphim and stick around to provide a cheerful companionship as well as a helpful friend. Nyph is about the size of a small dog which is quite standard for a pseudodragon. He is equipped with a stinger that can put a target to sleep, and can camouflage with natural and some simple constructed terrain. Even though he is a dragon other dragons look down on him due to being a pseudodragon and view him a less than a dragon.

Experience: Aeden’s time as a slave tempered his ability to survive in the worst of conditions. His very drive to live grew even stronger after his attempted suicide as he manifested through sheer will what would eventually be his Cure Wounds spell. At the time his Cure Wounds was more of a close minor wounds that he manifested through sheer will. When he saved himself from his suicide attempt he barely survived, and the Therosi noticed putting him through harsher rituals to push him to the limit.

Aion rescued Aeden when he was 21 years old. Over the next 18 years he trained his Cure Wounds to an average level, and he learned how to use Divine Spear up to an amateur level. The spell is extraordinarily difficult, but his bloodline does make it possible for him to manifest elemental energy into the divine. He knows it could potentially summon pure divine energy in the form of a spear, however he has only scratched the surface of what he could do with it. From what he knows about how the spell works if trained to a high enough tier he could create and project multiple spears at a farther distance with greater power, however it is a much harder spell than most to train and master.

Aeden worked as a part of Aion's rescue team and with his affinity for learning magic he was encouraged to learn Protection from Chaos. He became quite competent in its use over time and used it to protect the lives of his squad.

All of Aeden’s combat training is through the Aion, and while he is a capable fighter he is technically nothing special. He gained some attention for his ability to push through the pain of training.

Motivation: To rise up in the world and become so powerful that those that would cause him suffering or cost him his freedom would have to think thrice before making a move on him. He also wishes to rescue any of the mixed-blood children he sired to train them to be strong as well.

Birthplace: Aeden was born in Vrondi in an isolated home in the jungles, however Therosi agents kidnapped him and killed his parents because they couldn’t capture them alive and brought him to Nero.

Equipment:

Aion Knight Armor-

Appearance

Protects against most basic sharp blades and arrows with a Divine enchantment that adds a layer of protection even on the fabric and jewels.

Full Leg Armour-

Appearance

Steel armor.

Aion shield-

Appearance

A steel shield enchanted with divine protection which protects against chaotic spells and grants the wielder greater protection from curses and diseases. It can defend against most heavy steel blade attacks without a scratch due to this layer of protection. It also remains neutral in temperature at all times under this protection.

Aion sword-

Appearance

Divine steel. Made from conjuring steel from a divine realm. It has a blue glow in the dark and is impervious to chaotic destruction. It is sharper than normal steel, able to cut steel on its own with enough force. But this blade is quick to chip. The sheathe fixes the blade over time with a divine enchantment.

Mirror's Potion-
A blue elixir that freezes the one who drinks it in a coating of ice until their wounds are entirely healed.

Extra Info:

• Aeden has very little commitment to the Aion. He fully appreciates their cause and how they have helped him, however he doesn’t really feel it is his cause. He has given them time and effort to their cause almost equivalent to his entire life, and he feels that he will soon need to move on from them. This opinion has only developed within the last year.
• Aeden has very high standards for others, but especially for himself.
• In spite of his feeling about Aion’s cause, Aeden has a huge amount of respect for Mirror.
