'''Thulcandrans''' (also known as '''Homo Conceptus''') are an offshoot of Humanity from the planet [[Thulcandra]] - and native to [[Earth-100]]. They are human beings who have been rapidly evolved, due to a [[Power Storm]] that bombarded Planet Earth in the 21st Century.

They are the premier and dominant species of their universe, and have ruled over it for eons, perpetuating life across various planets while doing so.

Their ruling class, the [[Chronarchs]] - are the self-proclaimed "Masters of Reality", beings capable of manipulating the fabric of space-time to the point of bending existence to their whims.

== History ==
Thulcandrans were created on January 1st, 2017 on Earth-100. On that day, the planet was bombarded with a massive surge of extra-dimensional energy, which seemingly only affected human beings.

As most of humanity were incapacitated by the energies bombarding them - a select few metabolized the energies and rapidly mutated, becoming the first Thulcandrans.

Immediately, those Thulcandrans began to make substantial advances in mathematics as well as the scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology and psychology.

Eventually, those first Thulcandrans, eventually became Chronarchs, through their further experimentation with energies from higher dimensions.

Those first few Chronarchs would then become the founders of Thulcandran society - unifying the Earth under their structural government, and renaming the planet to Thulcandra.

Throughout the various conflicts in their history, from their war against extra-dimensional vampiric monsters, to their quashing of a sentient nanite colony rebellion - the Thulcandrans have continued to assert themselves as the dominant species in their universe.

However, [[Antipathy|an unknown multiversal threat]] has forced their hand - and caused them to retreat from their home universe for the first time in their history; leading to their retreat to the furthest universe they could seek refuge, [[Earth-0]].

== Culture ==
The Thulcandrans are generally hedonistic beings - with a disinterest in the rest of their universe. As the self-proclaimed "Masters of Reality" they generally see themselves as existing far beyond the experiences of all other sentient life in their universe.

Their general disregard for their universe they themselves helped to create - has led to various altercations between themselves and other life forms. The Thulcandrans themselves exist in a relative caste system, where the Chronarchs manage and inform every aspect of Thulcandran life.

== Physiology ==
Thulcandrans are a hyper-advanced variant of Human Beings - and as such, are capable of far more advanced biological functions.

These functions include:

* Supernatural Physical Characteristics
* Hyper-Intelligence (Due to an evolved brain structure)
* Parallel Processing
* Supernatural Memory Storage
* Extra-Sensory Perception | ESP
* Multiple Sets of Organs
* Perpetual Energy Generation

== Thulcandran Abilities ==
As conduits of the Power IsoMatrix, they are similar to [[Meta-Humans]], only far more powerful - due to their greater connection to the Power IsoMatrix.

=== Self-Molecular Manipulation ===
The primary ability of all Thulcandrans. They can demonstrate full control over their body's molecular structure, and all its assorted molecules and atoms.

This allows them:

* Density Control
* Reinforced Armor
* Temperature Control
* Invisibility
* Intangibility
* Size Alteration
* Partial Adaptation
* Shapeshifting | Reconstruction
** Reconstruction DNA Strand
* Vibration Control

==== Reconstruction ====
A specialized variant of Shapeshifting, devised by [[Rafael Thaumiel]] - which involves utilizing vast quantities of cosmic energy to reconstruct the Thulcandran's body.

This leads to the Thulcandran expelling any internal toxins and hazardous materials from their body, as well as allowing for a massive energy release.

The ability can also be used to reconstruct the Thulcandran into any physical or immaterial form - not necessarily that of a Thulcandran or a Human either.

=== Psionics ===
Due to their ability to generate vast quantities of energy, Thulcandrans can convert this energy into psionic energy in order to manifest psionic abilities.

Said abilities include:

* Telepathy
* Telekinesis
* Memory Manipulation
* Information Control
* Empathy
* Illusions

== Chronarch Abilities ==
Abilities exclusive to Chronarchs - the Thulcandrans who have been further exposed to supernatural energies, including those seemingly connected to different higher powers.

=== Time Manipulation ===
Chronarchs, via their further exposure to the Power IsoMatrix's energies, can bend time in a localized sense, to a substantial degree.

They are capable of:

* Time Slow
* Time "Stop" (infinitesimally slow movement)
* Time Reversal
* Time Looping
* Time Sight
* Localized Personal Timeline (allowing for rapid movement from the perspective of the user)
* Temporal DNA Strand

=== Space Manipulation ===
Chronarchs are also capable of manipulating space in a localized sense as well, allowing them relative control over positioning and the orientation in three dimensional space.

Their powers include:

* Teleportation (by folding space)
* Portal Creation (by creating holes in space)
* Displacement
* Space Erasure (by ripping space apart)
* Space Expansion (by stretching space at the seams gradually)

=== Evolved Supernatural Characteristics ===
Chronarchs regularly demonstrate physical characteristics that far exceed those of standard Thulcandrans.

Their manipulation of their own molecular structures now stretches to the sub-atomic level, thanks to their heightened evolution, drastically increasing the scale of their existing abilities.

Chronarchs are capable of:

* Supernatural Physical Characteristics (Strength, Speed, Durability, etc. etc.)
* Massively Faster Than Light (MFTL) Travel (Through bending the fabric of space-time itself around them)
* Infinite Stamina (Through perfect control over their sub-atomic structures, gaining infinite energy efficiency)
* Flight (Through the self-propulsion mechanisms provided by their psionic control over their own sub-atomic structures)
* Evolved Senses (Can see changes in localized spatial and temporal phenomena)
* Gradual Evolution (Their physical characteristics only strengthen with time)

=== Conceptual Mechanics | Algorithmic Reality Warping ===
A form of reality warping, devised by the Chronarchs. By utilizing their immense cognitive and psionic abilities, Chronarchs are able to warp the very fabric of reality itself in a localized manner.

Conceptual Mechanics is achieved through the exploitation of quantum effects via psionic manipulation. The advanced brains of Chronarchs - which function like organic quantum computers, allow them the capacity to create complex mathematical algorithms.

The algorithmic approach to quantum based phenomena employed by the Chronarchs, allows for the creation of chain reactions in quantum states - resulting in large, precise changes in the fabric of reality itself; also known as reality warping.

This allows them immense control over their environment - within a limited range of action. Usually around 100 cubic meters.

== Equipment ==
[[File:TTC Exterior.jpg|thumb|277x277px|TTC Exterior]]

=== Trans-Temporal Carrier (TTC) ===
[[File:Quantum Tuner.jpg|thumb|345x345px|A Quantum Tuner Device]]
A multi-dimensional machine, created by the Chronarchs for their own personal use. The TTC is a sentient, higher dimensional being, enclosed in a three-dimensional "shell" made up of a unique [[meta-material]].

As a higher dimensional being, the TTC is able to move beyond the confines of traditional space-time, allowing for transportation across the entirety of space, and throughout time as well.

The TTCs are also capable of housing entire planes of existence within them, as they themselves are large multi-dimensional superstructures.

In addition, the TTCs serve as the main base of operations for their respective Chronarch - who they choose through a psionic imprimatur link during their construction.

=== Quantum Tuners ===
Small wand-like devices held by Chronarchs. They allow for remote and wireless interfacing with all manner of sophisticated technology.

The Tuners do not allow for the manipulation of more "primitive" analogue technology - such as vehicles or elevators.

Only devices with a level of sophisticated electronic circuitry and operating system integration can be manipulated by them.

The Tuners can also be used to absorb and redirect electromagnetic radiation.

== Notes ==

* The name "Thulcandran" is a reference to the book "Out of the Silent Planet" - in which the Malacandrans deemed "Thulcandra" as their name for the planet Earth.
* Thulcandrans look visually identical to humans, with no outward differences that are discernible at a first glance.
** Chronarchs, however, always have snow white hair in their natural state. This can obviously be manipulated, but their default state has white hair, regardless of the regeneration.
** The white hair is a byproduct of their metamorphosis due to their further exposure to the Power IsoMatrix's energies.
* Thulcandrans generally have an aversion to their prior history as Humans - choosing to forego the past in favor of their own choices.

In addition, the TTCs serve as the main base of operations for their respective Chronarch - who they choose through a psionic imprimatur link during their construction.

=== Quantum Tuners ===
Small wand-like devices held by Chronarchs. They allow for remote and wireless interfacing with all manner of sophisticated technology.

The Tuners do not allow for the manipulation of more "primitive" analogue technology - such as vehicles or elevators.

Only devices with a level of sophisticated electronic circuitry and operating system integration can be manipulated by them.

The Tuners can also be used to absorb and redirect electromagnetic radiation.

== Notes ==

* The Thulcandrans are named after the book "Out of the Silent Planet" - in which the Malacandrans deemed "Thulcandra" as their name for the planet Earth.
* Thulcandrans look visually identical to humans, with no outward differences that are discernible at a first glance.
** Chronarchs, however, always have snow white hair in their natural state. This can obviously be manipulated, but their default state has white hair, regardless of the regeneration.
** The white hair is a byproduct of their metamorphosis due to their further exposure to the Power IsoMatrix's energies.

[[File:Rafael - 2.jpg|thumb|Rafael Thaumiel - The Co-Founder of Thulcandran Society]]
'''Thulcandrans''' (also known as '''Homo Conceptus''') are an offshoot of Humanity from the planet [[Thulcandra]] - and native to [[Earth-100]]. They are human beings who have been rapidly evolved, due to a [[Power Storm]] that bombarded Planet Earth in the 21st Century.

They are the premier and dominant species of their universe, and have ruled over it for eons, perpetuating life across various planets while doing so.

Their ruling class, the [[Chronarchs]] - are the self-proclaimed "Masters of Reality", beings capable of manipulating the fabric of space-time to the point of bending existence to their whims.

== History ==
Thulcandrans were created on January 1st, 2017 on Earth-100. On that day, the planet was bombarded with a massive surge of extra-dimensional energy, which seemingly only affected human beings.

As most of humanity were incapacitated by the energies bombarding them - a select few metabolized the energies and rapidly mutated, becoming the first Thulcandrans.

Immediately, those Thulcandrans began to make substantial advances in mathematics as well as the scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology and psychology.

Eventually, those first Thulcandrans, eventually became Chronarchs, through their further experimentation with energies from higher dimensions.

Those first few Chronarchs would then become the founders of Thulcandran society - unifying the Earth under their structural government, and renaming the planet to Thulcandra.

Throughout the various conflicts in their history, from their war against extra-dimensional vampiric monsters, to their quashing of a sentient nanite colony rebellion - the Thulcandrans have continued to assert themselves as the dominant species in their universe.

However, [[Antipathy|an unknown multiversal threat]] has forced their hand - and caused them to retreat from their home universe for the first time in their history; leading to their retreat to the furthest universe they could seek refuge, [[Earth-0]].

== Culture ==
The Thulcandrans are generally hedonistic beings - with a disinterest in the rest of their universe. As the self-proclaimed "Masters of Reality" they generally see themselves as existing far beyond the experiences of all other sentient life in their universe.

Their general disregard for their universe they themselves helped to create - has led to various altercations between themselves and other life forms. The Thulcandrans themselves exist in a relative caste system, where the Chronarchs manage and inform every aspect of Thulcandran life.

== Physiology ==
Thulcandrans are a hyper-advanced variant of Human Beings - and as such, are capable of far more advanced biological functions.

These functions include:

* Supernatural Physical Characteristics
* Hyper-Intelligence (Due to an evolved brain structure)
* Parallel Processing
* Supernatural Memory Storage
* Extra-Sensory Perception | ESP
* Multiple Sets of Organs
* Perpetual Energy Generation

== Thulcandran Abilities ==
As conduits of the Power IsoMatrix, they are similar to [[Meta-Humans]], only far more powerful - due to their greater connection to the Power IsoMatrix.

=== Self-Molecular Manipulation ===
The primary ability of all Thulcandrans. They can demonstrate full control over their body's molecular structure, and all its assorted molecules and atoms.

This allows them:

* Density Control
* Reinforced Armor
* Temperature Control
* Invisibility
* Intangibility
* Size Alteration
* Partial Adaptation
* Shapeshifting | Reconstruction
** Regeneration DNA Strand
* Vibration Control

==== Reconstruction ====
A specialized variant of Shapeshifting, devised by [[Rafael Thaumiel]] - which involves utilizing vast quantities of cosmic energy to reconstruct the Thulcandran's body.

This leads to the Thulcandran expelling any internal toxins and hazardous materials from their body, as well as allowing for a massive energy release.

The ability can also be used to reconstruct the Thulcandran into any physical or immaterial form - not necessarily that of a Thulcandran or a Human either.

=== Psionics ===
Due to their ability to generate vast quantities of energy, Thulcandrans can convert this energy into psionic energy in order to manifest psionic abilities.

Said abilities include:

* Telepathy
* Telekinesis
* Memory Manipulation
* Information Control
* Empathy
* Illusions

== Chronarch Abilities ==
Abilities exclusive to Chronarchs - the Thulcandrans who have been further exposed to supernatural energies, including those seemingly connected to different higher powers.

=== Time Manipulation ===
Chronarchs, via their further exposure to the Power IsoMatrix's energies, can bend time in a localized sense, to a substantial degree.

They are capable of:

* Time Slow
* Time "Stop" (infinitesimally slow movement)
* Time Reversal
* Time Looping
* Time Sight
* Localized Personal Timeline (allowing for rapid movement from the perspective of the user)
* Temporal DNA Strand

=== Space Manipulation ===
Chronarchs are also capable of manipulating space in a localized sense as well, allowing them relative control over positioning and the orientation in three dimensional space.

Their powers include:

* Teleportation (by folding space)
* Portal Creation (by creating holes in space)
* Displacement
* Space Erasure (by ripping space apart)
* Space Expansion (by stretching space at the seams gradually)

=== Evolved Supernatural Characteristics ===
Chronarchs regularly demonstrate physical characteristics that far exceed those of standard Thulcandrans.

Their manipulation of their own molecular structures now stretches to the sub-atomic level, thanks to their heightened evolution, drastically increasing the scale of their existing abilities.

Chronarchs are capable of:

* Supernatural Physical Characteristics (Strength, Speed, Durability, etc. etc.)
* Massively Faster Than Light (MFTL) Travel (Through bending the fabric of space-time itself around them)
* Infinite Stamina (Through perfect control over their sub-atomic structures, gaining infinite energy efficiency)
* Evolved Senses (Can see changes in localized spatial and temporal phenomena)
* Gradual Evolution (Physical characteristics only increase with time)

=== Conceptual Mechanics | Algorithmic Reality Warping ===
A form of reality warping, devised by the Chronarchs. By utilizing their immense cognitive and psionic abilities, Chronarchs are able to warp the very fabric of reality itself in a localized manner.

Conceptual Mechanics is achieved through the exploitation of quantum effects via psionic manipulation. The advanced brains of Chronarchs - which function like organic quantum computers, allow them the capacity to create complex mathematical algorithms.

The algorithmic approach to quantum based phenomena employed by the Chronarchs, allows for the creation of chain reactions in quantum states - resulting in large, precise changes in the fabric of reality itself; also known as reality warping.

This allows them immense control over their environment - within a limited range of action. Usually around 100 cubic meters.

== Equipment ==
[[File:TTC Exterior.jpg|thumb|277x277px|TTC Exterior]]

=== Trans-Temporal Carrier (TTC) ===
[[File:Quantum Tuner.jpg|thumb|345x345px|A Quantum Tuner Device]]
A multi-dimensional machine, created by the Chronarchs for their own personal use. The TTC is a sentient, higher dimensional being, enclosed in a three-dimensional "shell" made up of a unique [[meta-material]].

As a higher dimensional being, the TTC is able to move beyond the confines of traditional space-time, allowing for transportation across the entirety of space, and throughout time as well.

The TTCs are also capable of housing entire planes of existence within them, as they themselves are large multi-dimensional superstructures.

In addition, the TTCs serve as the main base of operations for their respective Chronarch - who they choose through a psionic imprimatur link during their construction.

[[File:Original!Samael - 3.jpg|thumb|547x547px|Samael's Chronarch Form - "Mechanicus"]]
'''Samael Michael Thaumiel''' (formerly '''Durante Gray''') is a [[Thulcandrans|Thulcandran]] [[Chronarch]] from the planet of [[Thulcandra]] - an alternate-future version of Earth. He is the leader of [[House Thaumiel]] within the planet's aristocratic hierarchy. His Chronarch title is known as '''"Mechanicus"'''.

== Summary ==
Mechanicus was born as Durante Gray on [[Earth-100|an alternate Earth]] in the 21st century. After a cosmic disaster left the Earth in tatters, he and the rest of humanity were exposed to [[Power IsoMatrix|primordial energies]] from beyond - which seemingly saved them.

He and the rest of humanity were altered by the event, becoming stronger, faster and most importantly - smarter; much smarter than before. Durante especially developed incredible levels of intelligence - leading him to create the first Thulcandran technologies.

After helping to stabilize the planet after the cosmic cataclysm - Earth was renamed '''Thulcandra'''; with humans being renamed as '''Thulcandrans'''.

Soon after the cosmic event, Durante would go on to guide Thulcandrans towards an era of peace and stability - founding Thulcandran society and establishing the core principles and tenets of their civilization.

Soon after gaining a greater understanding of the nature of the space-time continuum, Durante would then establish the [[Chronarch Order]] in conjunction with his older sister, Amelia.

In accordance with their new positions, they retroactively designated themselves the first members of House Thaumiel - the "Twins of God".

Eventually however, the Thulcandrans would be faced with a powerful threat - beyond their initial capabilities. In their haste, they soon left their native universe, taking their local solar system with them.

Soon they would find [[Earth-0|a new universe]] to hide in - until a means of countering their greatest threat would finally appear.

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Thulcandran Physiology ===
Thulcandrans are evolved human beings with millions of years of artificial selection guiding their development. As such, they have access to supernatural powers and abilities far beyond that of normal humans.
==== Supernatural Intelligence ====
The defining trait of Thulcandrans. They are several orders of magnitude more intelligent than human beings. Capable of parallel processing and other cognitive abilities that far exceed those of human beings.

Thulcandrans also have much more neurally dense brains than humans do - allowing for the storing and encoding of information to a much greater degree.

==== Gene Manipulation | "Reconstruction" ====
A process created by Samael's older sister - Rafael. "Reconstruction" is the ability of a Thulcandran to psionically manipulate their own DNA. They have a 3rd DNA strand that's designed to maintain continuity between their alterations for this reason.

When significantly damaged, Thulcandrans can "reconstruct" themselves into a different appearance - releasing massive quantities of energy as they do so. A Thulcandran can reconstruct themselves an indefinite number of times.

==== Superhuman Physical Characteristics ====
Thulcandrans are much stronger, faster, more agile and more durable than human beings are. They also have superhuman senses which humans do not posses.

As a result of their evolved physiology, Thulcandrans are highly resistant to radiation and other forms of conventional danger.

Thulcandrans can also live for a very long time - thousands of years before they show any signs of aging from their prime.

==== [[Psionics]] ====
Thulcandrans, due to their prolonged exposure to cosmic energies in their past - have developed a genetic form of psionics.

=== Chronarch Physiology ===
Chonarchs are Thulcandrans who have been exposed to the primordial energies that saved their society - to a much greater degree.

A further evolution of a basic Thulcandran - Chronarchs are the elite of Thulcandran society, and dictate all aspects of their civilization.

They also possess abilities far beyond that of a normal Thulcandran.

==== Temporal Characteristics ====
Chronarchs have a 4th strand of DNA, temporally engineered and designed to give him a high degree of resistance to time manipulation. This grants Chronarchs the ability to perceive time in a rudimentary sense.

Chronarcs are also able to recognize localized instances of time manipulation - such as temporal loops and slow-downs. They are also able to negate the effects of these temporal manipulations on themselves.

==== Evolved Supernatural Characteristics ====
Further augmentation of the body has allowed Chronarchs complete psionic control over all subatomic particles, atoms and molecules that comprise their general form. This allows for Chronarchs to display various abilities that exceed those of standard Thulcandrans.

== Items & Equipment ==

=== Trans-Temporal Carrier (TTC) ===
The hallmark achievement of dimensional engineering by Chronarch Society. TTCs are large, higher-dimensional constructs with three-dimensional "shells" or casings. They're complex machines that double as vehicles and are capable of moving through any point in physical space.

They are also capable of movement through time - to a degree. Although TTCs are more hesitant to move through time - due to the intervention of [[Hiyuki Hoyokazi (disambiguation)|unforeseen forces]].

== Notes ==

* Samael and the rest of House Thaumiel are named after the Archangels.
* Samael's surname comes from the Qliphoth.
* Samael's older sister, Rafael - isn't known well by the Thulcandran public at large.
** Samael is hesitant to say anything about her as well.
* Samael's "brother", Gabriel - is a perfect clone of him, created as part of an experiment with their creation chambers.
* Samael calls himself "Virgil" on Earth - as a reference to the famous Roman poet.
** He seems himself as guiding the planet - putting it on a better path.

{{disambig3|Aiden Grayson}}{{Infobox person|birth_date=April 4th, 1996|birth_name="Aiden Ethan Grayson"|birth_place=[[wikipedia:New York City|New York City,]] [[wikipedia:New York|New York,]] [[wikipedia:United States|USA]]|caption="Snow White", as Phoebe calls him.|family=Grayson Family|image=Aiden - 48.jpg|nationality=American|other_names=Mosaic|relatives=[[Phoebe Grayson (Earth-0)|Phoebe Grayson]] (sister), [[Jonah Grayson (Earth-0)|Jonah Grayson]] (brother), [[Kira Grayson (Earth-0)|Kira Grayson]] (sister), [[Jason Grayson (Earth-0)|Jason Grayson]] (brother),|parents=[[Silas Grayson (Earth-0)|Silas Grayson]] (father), [[Emily Weber (Earth-0)|Emily Weber]] (mother)|years_active="2016-"|partner=[[Stella Bray-Grayson]]}}[[File:True!Mosaic.jpg|thumb|Mosaic Costume]]
'''Aiden Ethan Grayson''' is a [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] | [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] hybrid, and [[Magicians|Magician]] - currently living in [[Sanctuary City]]. He is the CEO of [[Archeon Incorporated]] and the son of its founder, [[Silas Grayson]]. His vigilante identity is known as '''Mosaic''', (formerly '''Gradient''').

== Summary ==

=== Early Life ===
Born in New York City, Aiden is the son of Dr. Silas Grayson - a researcher and entrepreneur. Despite his public origins, Aiden is a genetically engineered human. He was created by his father Silas, and through the genomic research pioneered by Aiden's grandfather - [[Dr. Amadeus Grayson]].

Aiden lived a relatively normal life for most of his early childhood, though later on in his life Aiden was forced to move to the West Coast - due to unforeseen circumstances.

He would then spend the next decade of his life improving his own skills and knowledge base - before eventually pursuing a degree in medicine.

=== Mosaic ===
After graduating with his M.D., Aiden was then called by his father with a surprising request - to succeed him as CEO of Archeon.

Soon after he moved to Sanctuary City and assumed his position as Archeon's CEO, Aiden began hearing offhand rumors surrounding missing Meta-Humans.

In addition to the disappearances, criminal groups started to increase their activity around the city.

As part of an effort to make a difference, Aiden decided to become a vigilante of sorts - using his powers to help people whenever he could.

After preparing himself, Aiden then became the vigilante '''Gradient.'''

Later, he changed his name to '''Mosaic''' - after he fully manifested his powers.

== Powers ==

=== Power Matrix ===
As the [[Earth-0|Prime Universe]] incarnation of the [[Power IsoMatrix]], Aiden has various abilities related to "Power" - the ability to "do" anything.

He can amplify his own abilities or reproduce the abilities of others that he encounters - seemingly without limit.

Aiden's strength was also great enough to even overwhelm his sister's, during their first real fight.<ref name=":0" />

=== Mosaic DNA ===
Like his father and siblings, Aiden has a unique blend of DNA known as '''Mosaic DNA''' - the result of his latent "Power" based abilities.

The structure of Mosaic DNA allows Aiden to instantaneously re-sequence his DNA, allowing him to permanently mimic Meta-Gene abilities.

=== Psionics ===
Due to his nature, Aiden has high levels of psionic power - making him adept at [[psionics]].

=== Dynamic Mimicry ===
The combination of Aiden's Power Matrix and his Mosaic DNA allows him to mimic the powers of beings who aren't Meta-Humans.

Examples include:

* '''Demi-Being Physiology'''
** Mimicked from [[Sun Wukong II]] - after fighting him in Sanctuary City.<ref name=":3">"Turf Wars" - [Part 0 - Prologue]</ref>
* '''Dimensional Conduit'''
** Mimicked from [[Julian Gray]] - after fighting him at the Seychelles Islands.<ref name=":6">"Shatter Point"</ref>
* '''Divine Conduit'''
** Mimicked from [[Jack Blackburn]] - after encountering his reformed and inverted self in Sanctuary City.<ref name=":7">"Reconciliation"</ref>
* '''Thulcandran''' | '''Chonarch Physiology'''
** Mimicked from [[Samael Thaumiel]] - after encountering him during his visit to the Archeon Complex as "Virgil".<ref name=":0">"Synergies"</ref>

== Equipment ==

=== Thaumaturgy Ring ===
After being severely weakened in his battle with Faust, [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-1)|Magister]] provided Aiden support in the form of the Thaumaturgy Ring.<ref name=":2">"Dysfunction" - [Part 2]</ref>

=== Thaumaturgy Armor ===
Mosaic's current armor is a fusion of both his original tech outfit and the magitek equipment that he later acquired.

== Skills ==

=== Magic ===
As a result of his training with his alternate universe counterpart, Aiden has enough magical power to become a [[Magicians|Magician]].

While nowhere near as proficient as a [[Sorcerers Supreme|Sorcerer Supreme]], Mosaic is still incredibly powerful, and capable of various magical feats through spell casting.

Aiden has a tendency to use passive spells in combat, such as energy shielding.

He also occasionally relies on utility spells, such as astral projection - if he needs to perform reconnaissance.

=== Combat Training ===
Partially due to his abilities, Aiden is a master of close quarters combat or CQC.

He also has knowledge of various forms of martial arts - due to his ability to travel the world and learn from various combat instructors.

=== Engineering Training ===
A result of his psionic knowledge absorption - Aiden has a robust reserve of engineering knowledge and skill.

Aiden is an expert mechanic and engineer by experience - but not through formal training. He has worked to repair various forms of sophisticated machinery.

=== Physician Training ===
Although not having completed residency fully - Aiden is an accomplished medical physician with an early M.D. in the field.

He also has experience with surgery and differential diagnosis assessments of patients.

Should he ever need to treat a person of their illnesses - he can do that rather effectively.

== Notes ==

* Aiden's favorite genre of music is Industrial Rock, much like his [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-1)|Sorcerer Supreme Counterpart]].
** Aiden's hair was originally midnight black - only becoming white due to prolonged exposure to [[Magic]].
** He also now regularly wears black sunglasses - slowly becoming a mirror image of his magical counterpart.
* Aiden's favorite food is pizza, though generally without many toppings.
* Aiden has experience with multiple forms of martial arts combat.
* Aiden initially had an obvious attraction to [[Hiyuki Hoyokazi (disambiguation)|Hiyuki Hoyokazi]].
** Though after their last encounter, he's developed a strong dislike of her character and a general indifference towards her existence.<ref>"The Tangent"</ref>
*** This mirrors the dynamic that Aiden's [[Silas Grayson|father]] had with Hiyuki's [[Katsumi Hoyokazi|mother]] - before they had a falling out due to personal differences.

Isaac is the son of [[Jerome Eisner|Jerome]] and [[Josephine Meisner|Josephine]] Meisner - ancient beings created eons prior. Isaac's father, Jerome, is an [[Astrals|Astral]] - the Astral of Hope. His mother Josephine is a [[Sirens|Siren]] - a being almost as old and nearly as powerful.

After his parents were forced to flee from Earth, he was left in the care of Thoth - the Egyptian God of Knowledge and Magic. For the next two decades, Thoth and the other Gods would raise him and train him in magic - as preparation for his job as Sorcerer Supreme.

Eventually, Isaac became the Sorcerer Supreme of his universe, a title which he still holds to this day.

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Axiomatic Control ===
[[File:Doctor - 5.jpg|thumb|Sorcerer Supreme Outfit]]
As the one and only Incarnation of the [[Concept IsoMatrix]] - Isaac has an innate control over axioms, the self-evident nature of ideas.

This gives Isaac relative control over the perception of ideas, and their resulting effects.

Isaac can use this power to gradually weaken or strengthen individuals based on his perception of them.

The ability of [[Observation]] is a weakened expression of this ability.

=== Magic ===
As the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-0, Doctor has decades of extensive training in the mystic arts; knowing various forms of magic in the form of spells, hexes, incantations, jinxes and charms.

His style of magical casting is very similar to that of Magister, in the sense that he is extremely methodical in nature.

Doctor is capable of various magical effects and abilities.

=== Skills ===
As Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor is also well versed in various dextrous skills and techniques, thanks to his decades of training with beings such as Thoth.

He has mastered various skills due to his training.

== Notes ==

* Isaac is the youngest fund manager in modern history on Earth-0, making him the subject of various exposés and interviews by large multinational publications.
** He's generally seen to be lucky, but also pragmatic in the public consciousness.
* Isaac is likely the wealthiest of the main characters, due to the various industries that Thoth either created or heavily invested into for the past 20 years - and the inheritance of those funds that Isaac was given.
** Wiseman Faults is generally involved in the industries of insurance, software development, utilities, food production, industrial production and resource production.
*** This is due to heavy investments in companies like Archeon Incorporated, U.P., Grayson Industries and more, in addition to further investments elsewhere.
* Isaac has fangs as a result of his Astral nature - though they can disguised with magic
* Isaac's favorite drink is red wine - specifically Pinot Noir.
** He's also interested in Cognac, his favorite type of brandy.
* Isaac's favorite food is hamburgers, which surprises people given his general air of wealth.
** Specifically, he loves burgers that are grilled with light salt and buffalo meat.
* Isaac's favorite genre of music is Rock, though he does also like Jazz.
** He's also skilled at various instruments, including the Electric Guitar and most Woodwind instruments - like the Saxophone.
* Isaac initially had a slight crush on Stephanie when he first met her, due solely to her physical attractiveness.
** He soon developed a genuine romantic interest in her after spending over a year helping her train.
* Isaac has spent time in the Axiom under relativistic conditions - but usually only for a few weeks in order to put more time into his Sorcerer Supreme training, while maintaining his normal life.
* Isaac has a ring left for him by his parents as a momento to their existence.
** The ring is encoded on a conceptual level with the thoughts and emotions that his parents have towards him.
*** This is a physical reminder of their parental affection for him, even after their disappearance.
* Isaac is still trying to learn the whereabouts of his parents - as well as why they left him at an early age.
* Isaac has an amicable relationship with Orion, Aiden and various other characters in the story, mainly through Orion's connections to them.
* Isaac generally spends most of his time either in the Axiom's library - or at Wiseman Faults back on Earth.
* Isaac has red eyes, either due to his decades of mana exposure in the Axiom, or due to his innate power as an Astral.
** The origination of the red eyes is unknown, even to him.
* Isaac also has various personal businesses that he owns on Earth - which are managed by professionals hired by Thoth over the decades.

'''Aiden Ethan Grayson''' is a [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] | [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] hybrid, and [[Magicians|Magician]] - currently living in [[Sanctuary City]]. He is the CEO of [[Archeon Incorporated]] and the son of its founder, [[Silas Grayson]]. His vigilante identity is known as '''Mosaic''', (formerly '''Gradient''').

== Summary ==

=== Early Life ===
Born in New York City, Aiden is the son of Dr. Silas Grayson - a researcher and entrepreneur. Despite his public origins, Aiden is a genetically engineered human. He was created through the genomic research done by his grandfather - [[Dr. Amadeus Grayson]].

Aiden lived a relatively normal life for most of his early childhood, though later on in his life Aiden was forced to move to the West Coast - due to unforeseen circumstances.

He would then spend the next decade of his life improving his own skills and knowledge base - before eventually pursuing a degree in medicine.

=== Mosaic ===
After graduating with his M.D., Aiden was then called by his father with a surprising request - to succeed him as CEO of Archeon.

Soon after he moved to Sanctuary City and assumed his position as Archeon's CEO, Aiden began hearing offhand rumors surrounding missing Meta-Humans.

In addition to the disappearances, criminal groups started to increase their activity around the city.

As part of an effort to make a difference, Aiden decided to become a vigilante of sorts - using his powers to help people whenever he could.

After preparing himself, Aiden then became the vigilante '''Gradient.'''

Later, he changed his name to '''Mosaic''' - after he fully manifested his powers.

== Powers ==

=== Power Matrix ===
As the [[Earth-0|Prime Universe]] incarnation of the [[Power IsoMatrix]], Aiden has various abilities related to "Power" - the ability to "do" anything.

He can amplify his own abilities or reproduce the abilities of others that he encounters - seemingly without limit.

Aiden's strength was also great enough to even overwhelm his sister's, during their first real fight.<ref name=":0" />

=== Mosaic DNA ===
Like his father and siblings, Aiden has a unique blend of DNA known as '''Mosaic DNA''' - the result of his latent "Power" based abilities.

The structure of Mosaic DNA allows Aiden to instantaneously re-sequence his DNA, allowing him to permanently mimic Meta-Gene abilities.

=== Psionics ===
Due to his nature, Aiden has high levels of psionic power - making him adept at [[psionics]].

=== Dynamic Mimicry ===
The combination of Aiden's Power Matrix and his Mosaic DNA allows him to mimic the powers of beings who aren't Meta-Humans.

Examples include:

* '''Demi-Being Physiology'''
** Mimicked from [[Sun Wukong II]] - after fighting him in Sanctuary City.<ref name=":3">"Turf Wars" - [Part 0 - Prologue]</ref>
* '''Dimensional Conduit'''
** Mimicked from [[Julian Gray]] - after fighting him at the Seychelles Islands.<ref name=":6">"Shatter Point"</ref>
* '''Divine Conduit'''
** Mimicked from [[Jack Blackburn]] - after encountering his reformed and inverted self in Sanctuary City.<ref name=":7">"Reconciliation"</ref>
* '''Thulcandran''' | '''Chonarch Physiology'''
** Mimicked from [[Samael Thaumiel]] - after encountering him during his visit to the Archeon Complex as "Virgil".<ref name=":0">"Synergies"</ref>

== Equipment ==

=== Thaumaturgy Ring ===
After being severely weakened in his battle with Faust, [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-1)|Magister]] provided Aiden support in the form of the Thaumaturgy Ring.<ref name=":2">"Dysfunction" - [Part 2]</ref>

=== Thaumaturgy Armor ===
Mosaic's current armor is a fusion of both his original tech outfit and the magitek equipment that he later acquired.

== Skills ==

=== Magic ===
As a result of his training with his alternate universe counterpart, Aiden has enough magical power to become a [[Magicians|Magician]].

While nowhere near as proficient as a [[Sorcerers Supreme|Sorcerer Supreme]], Mosaic is still incredibly powerful, and capable of various magical feats through spell casting.

Aiden has a tendency to use passive spells in combat, such as energy shielding.

He also occasionally relies on utility spells, such as astral projection - if he needs to perform reconnaissance.

=== Combat Training ===
Partially due to his abilities, Aiden is a master of close quarters combat or CQC.

He also has knowledge of various forms of martial arts - due to his ability to travel the world and learn from various combat instructors.

=== Engineering Training ===
A result of his psionic knowledge absorption - Aiden has a robust reserve of engineering knowledge and skill.

Aiden is an expert mechanic and engineer by experience - but not through formal training. He has worked to repair various forms of sophisticated machinery.

=== Physician Training ===
Although not having completed residency fully - Aiden is an accomplished medical physician with an early M.D. in the field.

He also has experience with surgery and differential diagnosis assessments of patients.

Should he ever need to treat a person of their illnesses - he can do that rather effectively.

== Notes ==

* Aiden's favorite genre of music is Industrial Rock, much like his [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-1)|Sorcerer Supreme Counterpart]].
** Aiden's hair was originally midnight black - only becoming white due to prolonged exposure to [[Magic]].
** He also now regularly wears black sunglasses - slowly becoming a mirror image of his magical counterpart.
* Aiden's favorite food is pizza, though generally without many toppings.
* Aiden has experience with multiple forms of martial arts combat.
* Aiden initially had an obvious attraction to [[Hiyuki Hoyokazi (disambiguation)|Hiyuki Hoyokazi]].
** Though after their last encounter, he's developed a strong dislike of her character and a general indifference towards her existence.<ref>"The Tangent"</ref>
*** This mirrors the dynamic that Aiden's [[Silas Grayson|father]] had with Hiyuki's [[Katsumi Hoyokazi|mother]] - before they had a falling out due to personal differences.

Akito Tasogare

2024-12-29T04:25:23Z

Magister:

{{Stub}}
'''Akito Tasogare''' is a [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] | [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] hybrid - currently living in Kyoto, Japan. He is the head of the [[Tasogare]] family and CEO of the [[Seishin Corporation]].

{{Infobox person|birth_date=May 5th, 1996|birth_name="Akito Tasogare"|birth_place=Kyoto, Japan|caption=Yes, he's aware of the eyeliner.|family=Tasogare family|nationality=Japanese|parents=[[Hiruzen Tasogare|Hiruzen Tasogare]] (father), [[Sakura Tasogare|Sakura Tasogare]] (mother)|relatives=[[Asami Tasogare|Asami Tasogare]] (sister) [[Hanabi Tasogare|Hanabi Tasogare]] (half-sister) [[Hitomi Tasogare|Hitomi Tasogare]] (half-sister)|image=Akito - 2.jpg}}

As both the current wielder of the [[Eien no Yoru]], and the human host of the God-like being known as [[Kurai]], Akito is also known as '''Kagemusha -''' the leader of the [[Shadows]].

== Summary ==

=== Early Life ===
Akito was born to Hiruzen and Sakura Tasogare - the former leaders of the Tasogare family in Japan. As the firstborn son and successor to the mantle of Kagemusha, Hiruzen ensured that Akito would proceed with the transference ritual as a child.

Through the ritual, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade was transferred to Akito - along with the malevolent [[Kurai|consciousness]] harbored within. Eventually, his father passed away after succumbing to injuries from an assassination attempt - with his mother having already died of unknown reasons.

As a teenager, Akito was then burdened with the responsibility of leading the Tasogare family to prominence. To that end, he devised a plan to systematically weaken and destroy their main enemies - the [[Hoyokazi Family|Hoyokazi]] family.

=== Kagemusha ===
After reaching young adulthood at the age of 18, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade would slowly start to influence Akito's mind - compelling him to engage in greater displays of force and strength towards his goal.

To that end, he began to commune with the spirit of the God-like being contained within the blade. The spirit would then begin instructing Akito on how to master his innate abilities, while also instructing him in the art of swordsmanship.

Once his training was complete, Akito would then become the new Kagemusha. He then assumed full command of the Shadows; a supernatural shinobi army that enforces the will of the Tasogare family.

== Powers ==

=== Meta-Gene ===
Akito has a Meta-Gene that grants him substantial energy manipulation abilities. He can passively absorb ambient energy in his surroundings, storing it and channeling back in various ways.

He can also passively generate enormous amounts of energy - to allowing him to gradually and systematically alter his own physiology, strengthening it over the course of a decade.

His cellular structure is also reinforced by this ability, constantly saturated with energy to prolong his own longevity as a human.

=== Magic ===
As the wielder of the Eien no Yoru and the other half of Kurai - Akito is capable of utilizing the forces of [[Magic]] to an immense degree.

After his encounter with [[Selathiel Thaumiel|Ouranos]], Akito replicated the former's magical knowledge and gained the ability to become a master sorcerer.<ref name=":1">"Midnight Blade, Shining Light"</ref>

=== Shadow Arts ===
As a Tasogare and as Kagemusha, Akito has access to four unique [[Shadow Arts]] - magical techniques and abilities that are inherent to members of the Tasogare family.

==== #1 - Altar ====
A cumulative Shadow Art first bestowed upon the original Kagemusha by Kurai. It is inherited by all future Kagemusha after him by design.

Altar is a stockpiling Shadow Art that absorbs the Shadow Arts of all members of the Tasogare family after they die.

==== #2 - Fissure ====
The Shadow Art inherited from the Eien no Yoru blade itself.

A spatial slash attack that generates magical energy that is refined to the point of being able to cut through the fabric of space-time itself.

==== #3 - Expanse ====
Akito's innate Shadow Art.

This magical ability allows Akito to directly the fabric of space-time itself - potentially to a nigh-absolute degree.

==== #4 - Kage no Kemono (Beast of Shadow) ====
The final Shadow Art, an inherited technique passed down from generations of Tasogare leaders.

The ability allows Akito to summon a variety of supernatural beasts, imbued with shadow magic.

=== Seishin Shiryoku ===
The Seishin Shiryoku (Spirit Sight) is the name given to Akito's supernatural and magic-based eyes, created through the use of a [[Sacrificial Pact]] by his mother, Sakura. It was an act which came at the cost of her life.

From the pact, Akito gained supernatural vision - allowing him to perceive ghosts, spirits and other forms of non-physical and non-corporeal phenomena.

In addition, Akito's energy efficiency is pushed to its absolute limit due to this ability - making him virtually impossible to wear out in a fight.

== Equipment ==

=== Eien no Yoru ===
The Tasogare family sword, also known as '''Eternal Night'''. It is the source of the Tasogare family's magical powers - such as Shadow Arts and Sacrificial Pacts. It also houses the spirit of the magical god-like being known as Kurai.

The sword contains Kurai's will, and magically binds itself to its user - who is usually the head of the Tasogare family.

Once bound, the user and Kurai's will slowly become one - as they become the composite being known as Kagemusha.

Ownership of the blade grants the user access to powerful reserves of magical spells and techniques.

The sword can imbue others with latent magical potential - allowing them to develop their own Shadow Arts, though at the expense of their free will.

Akito can also remotely control the sword with his mind - which he used to catch [[Ryozo Hoyokazi]] off guard in their first confrontation. <ref name=":0">"Shadow of the Blade"</ref>

=== Kagemusha Armor ===
The mystical armor that Akito wears when he assumes the role of Kagemusha. It is reinforced with magical power, and can withstand substantial amounts of force.

The armor also distorts Akito's voice, making him completely unrecognizable.

== Skills ==

=== Master Swordsmanship ===
Akito is a master of all known forms of Japanese sword combat - including Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu. Though he has a preference for quick draw techniques to quickly finish encounters, he is also capable of longer confrontations.

=== Martial Arts ===
Akito is also skilled in different forms of Martial Arts, from Karate and Tae Kwon Do to Judo and even more eccentric styles such as Capoeira.

== Notes ==

* Akito and his younger sister Asami are not Hiruzen's only children.
** He has several half-brothers and half-sisters who also have Shadow Arts.
** Akito was chosen as the head of the Tasogare family due to the Sacrificial Pact that his mother Sakura made in secret - years after he was born.
*** His immense affinity for magic and the Shadow Arts is thanks to his Spirit Sight - which is the result of his mother's Sacrificial Pact.
**** That extreme affinity is what made him Hiruzen's chosen successor.
* Akito has red eye markings on his face - which signify his complete supernatural fusion with Kurai's essence.
** He has occasionally been teased by his sister for his "eyeliner".
* Akito's favorite color is red, unsurprisingly so.
* Akito and Ryozo's fathers were originally close friends, until Ryozo's father married into the Hoyokazi family.
** As such, Akito believes that Ryozo should show loyalty to him over the Hoyokazi family.

== Skills ==

=== Master Swordsmanship ===
Akito is a master of all known forms of Japanese sword combat - including Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu. Though he has a preference for quick draw techniques to quickly finish encounters, he is also capable of longer confrontations.

== Notes ==

* Akito and his younger sister Asami are not Hiruzen's only children.

**** That extreme affinity is what made him Hiruzen's chosen successor.
* Akito has red eye markings on his face - which denote his fusion with Kurai.
** He has occasionally been teased by his sister for his "eyeliner".
* Akito's favorite color is red, unsurprisingly so.
* Akito and Ryozo's fathers were originally close friends, until Ryozo's father married into the Hoyokazi family.

Akito Tasogare

2024-12-29T04:20:42Z

Magister:

{{Stub}}
'''Akito Tasogare''' is a [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] | [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] hybrid - currently living in Kyoto, Japan. He is the head of the [[Tasogare]] family and CEO of the [[Seishin Corporation]].

{{Infobox person|birth_date=May 5th, 1996|birth_name="Akito Tasogare"|birth_place=Kyoto, Japan|caption=Yes, he's aware of the eyeliner.|family=Tasogare family|nationality=Japanese|parents=[[Hiruzen Tasogare|Hiruzen Tasogare]] (father), [[Sakura Tasogare|Sakura Tasogare]] (mother)|relatives=[[Asami Tasogare|Asami Tasogare]] (sister) [[Hanabi Tasogare|Hanabi Tasogare]] (half-sister) [[Hitomi Tasogare|Hitomi Tasogare]] (half-sister)|image=Akito - 2.jpg}}

As both the current wielder of the [[Eien no Yoru]], and the human host of the God-like being known as [[Kurai]], Akito is also known as '''Kagemusha -''' the leader of the [[Shadows]].

== Summary ==

=== Early Life ===
Akito was born to Hiruzen and Sakura Tasogare - the former leaders of the Tasogare family in Japan. As the first born son and successor to the mantle of Kagemusha, Hiruzen ensured that Akito would proceed with the transference ritual as a child.

Through the ritual, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade was transferred to Akito - along with the malevolent [[Kurai|consciousness]] harbored within. Eventually, his father passed away after succumbing to injuries from an assassination attempt - with his mother having already left earlier in his life due to unknown reasons.

As a teenager, Akito was then burdened with the responsibility of leading the Tasogare family to prominence. To that end, he devised a plan to systematically weaken and destroy their main enemies - the [[Hoyokazi Family|Hoyokazi]] family.

=== Kagemusha ===
After reaching young adulthood at the age of 18, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade would slowly start to influence Akito's mind - compelling him to engage in greater displays of force and strength towards his goal.

To that end, he began to commune with the spirit of the God-like being contained within the blade. The spirit would then begin instructing Akito on how to master his innate abilities, while also instructing him in the art of swordsmanship.

Once his training was complete, Akito would then become the new Kagemusha. He then assumed full command of the Shadows; a supernatural shinobi army that enforces the will of the Tasogare family.

== Powers ==

=== Meta-Gene ===
Akito has a Meta-Gene that grants him substantial energy manipulation abilities. He can passively absorb ambient energy in his surroundings, storing it and channeling back in various ways.

He can also passively generate enormous amounts of energy - to allowing him to gradually and systematically alter his own physiology, strengthening it over the course of a decade.

His cellular structure is also reinforced by this ability, constantly saturated with energy to prolong his own longevity as a human.

=== Magic ===
As the wielder of the Eien no Yoru and the other half of Kurai - Akito is capable of utilizing the forces of [[Magic]] to an immense degree.

After his encounter with [[Selathiel Thaumiel|Ouranos]], Akito replicated the former's magical knowledge and gained the ability to become a master sorcerer.<ref name=":1">"Midnight Blade, Shining Light"</ref>

=== Shadow Arts ===
As a Tasogare and as Kagemusha, Akito has access to four unique [[Shadow Arts]] - magical techniques and abilities that are inherent to members of the Tasogare family.

==== #1 - Altar ====
A cumulative Shadow Art first bestowed upon the original Kagemusha by Kurai. It is inherited by all future Kagemusha after him by design.

Altar is a stockpiling Shadow Art that absorbs the Shadow Arts of all members of the Tasogare family after they die.

==== #2 - Fissure ====
The Shadow Art inherited from the Eien no Yoru blade itself.

A spatial slash attack that generates magical energy that is refined to the point of being able to cut through the fabric of space-time itself.

==== #3 - Expanse ====
Akito's innate Shadow Art.

This magical ability allows Akito to directly the fabric of space-time itself - potentially to a nigh-absolute degree.

==== #4 - Kage no Kemono (Beast of Shadow) ====
The final Shadow Art, an inherited technique passed down from generations of Tasogare leaders.

The ability allows Akito to summon a variety of supernatural beasts, imbued with shadow magic.

=== Seishin Shiryoku ===
The Seishin Shiryoku (Spirit Sight) is the name given to Akito's supernatural and magic-based eyes, created through the use of a [[Sacrificial Pact]] by his mother, Sakura. It was an act which came at the cost of her life.

From the pact, Akito gained supernatural vision - allowing him to perceive ghosts, spirits and other forms of non-physical and non-corporeal phenomena.

In addition, Akito's energy efficiency is pushed to its absolute limit due to this ability - making him virtually impossible to wear out in a fight.

== Equipment ==

=== Eien no Yoru ===
The Tasogare family sword, also known as '''Eternal Night'''. It is the source of the Tasogare family's magical powers - such as Shadow Arts and Sacrificial Pacts. It also houses the spirit of the magical god-like being known as Kurai.

The sword contains Kurai's will, and magically binds itself to its user - who is usually the head of the Tasogare family.

Once bound, the user and Kurai's will slowly become one - as they become the composite being known as Kagemusha.

Ownership of the blade grants the user access to powerful reserves of magical spells and techniques.

The Eien no Yoru can also absorb magical energy and disperse it. The sword can also imbue others with latent magical potential - allowing them to develop their own Shadow Arts, though at the expense of their free will.

Akito can also remotely control the sword with his mind - which he used to catch Ryozo Hoyokazi off guard in their first confrontation. <ref name=":0">"Shadow of the Blade"</ref>

=== Kagemusha Armor ===
The mystical armor that Akito wears when he assumes the role of Kagemusha. It is reinforced with magical power, and can withstand substantial amounts of force.

The armor also distorts Akito's voice, making him completely unrecognizable.

== Skills ==

=== Master Swordsmanship ===
Akito is a master of all known forms of Japanese sword combat - including Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu. Though he has a preference for quick draw techniques to quickly finish encounters, he is also capable of longer confrontations.

=== Martial Arts ===
Akito is also skilled in different forms of Martial Arts, from Karate and Tae Kwon Do to Judo and even more eccentric styles such as Capoeira.

== Notes ==

* Akito and his younger sister Asami are not Hiruzen's only children.
** He has several half-brothers and half-sisters who also have Shadow Arts.
** Akito was chosen as the head of the Tasogare family due to the Sacrificial Pact that his mother Sakura made in secret - years after he was born.
*** His immense affinity for magic and the Shadow Arts is thanks to his Spirit Sight - which is the result of his mother's Sacrificial Pact.
**** That extreme affinity is what made him Hiruzen's chosen successor.

** He has occasionally been teased by his sister for his "eyeliner".
* Akito's favorite color is red, unsurprisingly so.
* Akito and Ryozo's fathers were originally close friends, until Ryozo's father married into the Hoyokazi family.

Magister:

{{Stub}}
{{disambig3|Aiden Grayson}}{{Infobox person|birth_date=April 4th, 1996|birth_name="Aiden Ethan Grayson"|birth_place=[[wikipedia:New York City|New York City,]] [[wikipedia:New York|New York,]] [[wikipedia:United States|USA]]|caption="Snow White", as Phoebe calls him.|family=Grayson Family|image=Aiden - 48.jpg|nationality=American|other_names=Mosaic|relatives=[[Phoebe Grayson (Earth-0)|Phoebe Grayson]] (sister), [[Jonah Grayson (Earth-0)|Jonah Grayson]] (brother), [[Kira Grayson (Earth-0)|Kira Grayson]] (sister), [[Jason Grayson (Earth-0)|Jason Grayson]] (brother),|parents=[[Silas Grayson (Earth-0)|Silas Grayson]] (father), [[Emily Weber (Earth-0)|Emily Weber]] (mother)|years_active="2016-"|partner=[[Stella Bray-Grayson]]}}[[File:True!Mosaic.jpg|thumb|Mosaic Costume]]
'''Aiden Ethan Grayson''' is a [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] | [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] hybrid, and [[Magicians|Magician]] - currently living in [[Sanctuary City]]. He is the CEO of [[Archeon Incorporated]] and the son of its founder, [[Silas Grayson]]. His vigilante identity is known as '''Mosaic''', (formerly '''Gradient''').

== Summary ==

=== Early Life ===
Born in New York City, Aiden is the son of Dr. Silas Grayson - a researcher and entrepreneur. Despite his public origins, Aiden is a genetically engineered human. He was created through the genomic research done by his grandfather - [[Dr. Amadeus Grayson]].

Aiden lived a relatively normal life for most of his early childhood, though later on in his life Aiden was forced to move to the West Coast - due to unforeseen circumstances.

He would then spend the next decade of his life improving his own skills and knowledge base - before eventually pursuing a degree in medicine.

=== Mosaic ===
After graduating with his M.D., Aiden was then called by his father with a surprising request - to succeed him as CEO of Archeon.

Soon after he moved to Sanctuary City and assumed his position as Archeon's CEO, Aiden began hearing offhand rumors surrounding missing Meta-Humans.

In addition to the disappearances, criminal groups started to increase their activity around the city.

As part of an effort to make a difference, Aiden decided to become a vigilante of sorts - using his powers to help people whenever he could.

After preparing himself, Aiden then became the vigilante '''Gradient.'''

Later, he changed his name to '''Mosaic''' - after he fully manifested his powers.

== Powers ==

=== Power Matrix ===
As the [[Earth-0|Prime Universe]] incarnation of the [[Power IsoMatrix]], Aiden has various abilities related to "Power" - the ability to "do" anything.

He can amplify his own abilities or reproduce the abilities of others that he encounters - seemingly without limit.

Aiden's strength was also great enough to even overwhelm his sister's, during their first real fight.<ref name=":0" />

=== Mosaic DNA ===
Like his father and siblings, Aiden has a unique blend of DNA known as '''Mosaic DNA''' - the result of his latent "Power" based abilities.

The structure of Mosaic DNA allows Aiden to instantaneously re-sequence his DNA, allowing him to permanently mimic Meta-Gene abilities.

=== Psionics ===
Due to his nature, Aiden has high levels of psionic power - making him adept at [[psionics]].

=== Dynamic Mimicry ===
The combination of Aiden's Power Matrix and his Mosaic DNA allows him to mimic the powers of beings who aren't Meta-Humans.

Examples include:

* '''Demi-Being Physiology'''
** Mimicked from [[Sun Wukong II]] - after fighting him in Sanctuary City.<ref name=":3">"Turf Wars" - [Part 0 - Prologue]</ref>
* '''Dimensional Conduit'''
** Mimicked from [[Julian Gray]] - after fighting him at the Seychelles Islands.<ref name=":6">"Shatter Point"</ref>
* '''Divine Conduit'''
** Mimicked from [[Jack Blackburn]] - after encountering his reformed and inverted self in Sanctuary City.<ref name=":7">"Reconciliation"</ref>
* '''Thulcandran''' | '''Chonarch Physiology'''
** Mimicked from [[Samael Thaumiel]] - after encountering him during his visit to the Archeon Complex as "Virgil".<ref name=":0">"Synergies"</ref>

== Equipment ==

=== Thaumaturgy Ring ===
After being severely weakened in his battle with Faust, [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-1)|Magister]] provided Aiden support in the form of the Thaumaturgy Ring.<ref name=":2">"Dysfunction" - [Part 2]</ref>

=== Thaumaturgy Armor ===
Mosaic's current armor is a fusion of both his original tech outfit and the magitek equipment that he later acquired.

== Skills ==

=== Magic ===
As a result of his training with his alternate universe counterpart, Aiden has enough magical power to become a [[Magicians|Magician]].

While nowhere near as proficient as a [[Sorcerers Supreme|Sorcerer Supreme]], Mosaic is still incredibly powerful, and capable of various magical feats through spell casting.

Aiden has a tendency to use passive spells in combat, such as energy shielding.

He also occasionally relies on utility spells, such as astral projection - if he needs to perform reconnaissance.

=== Combat Training ===
Partially due to his abilities, Aiden is a master of close quarters combat or CQC.

He also has knowledge of various forms of martial arts - due to his ability to travel the world and learn from various combat instructors.

=== Engineering Training ===
A result of his psionic knowledge absorption - Aiden has a robust reserve of engineering knowledge and skill.

Aiden is an expert mechanic and engineer by experience - but not through formal training. He has worked to repair various forms of sophisticated machinery.

=== Physician Training ===
Although not having completed residency fully - Aiden is an accomplished medical physician with an early M.D. in the field.

He also has experience with surgery and differential diagnosis assessments of patients.

Should he ever need to treat a person of their illnesses - he can do that rather effectively.

== Notes ==

* Aiden's favorite genre of music is Industrial Rock, much like his [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-1)|Sorcerer Supreme Counterpart]].
** Aiden's hair was originally midnight black - only becoming white due to prolonged exposure to [[Magic]].
** He also now regularly wears black sunglasses - slowly becoming a mirror image of his magical counterpart.
* Aiden's favorite food is pizza, though generally without many toppings.
* Aiden has experience with multiple forms of martial arts combat.
* Aiden had an obvious attraction to [[Hiyuki Hoyokazi (disambiguation)|Hiyuki Hoyokazi]] that everyone is aware of.
** This mirrors the dynamic that Aiden's [[Silas Grayson|father]] had with Hiyuki's [[Katsumi Hoyokazi|mother]] - before they had a falling out due to personal differences.

Sun Wukong II

2024-07-23T20:11:23Z

Magister:

[[File:Sun - 6.jpg|thumb|579x579px|''"The essence of efficiency is concentration. The essence of concentration is willpower. From willpower stems the core of all achievement."'']]
'''Sun Wukong II''' is a '''Demi-Being''' and the "son" of the fabled Monkey King of Legend. He lives in [[Sanctuary City]] and works as an auto mechanic for his cover. He is also the older brother of [[Sua Wukong]].

== Synopsis ==
The firstborn "son" of the famous Sun Wukong - the archetypical Chinese trickster deity of legend; Sun Wukong II was almost immediately abandoned from birth.

Created through a replicated magical process similar to Wukong's own creation, Sun was later sent from [[The Aether]] - and down to Earth. His purpose would be to serve as a perpetual decoy for his father's enemies - and nothing more.

Fulfilling his purpose as a beacon of attention - The Monkey King quickly left the young baby in the care of a legendary Martial Arts master living in Hawaii named [[Gaihou]]. The martial arts master would then take Sun in as his own kin - and train him in martial arts.

As the years passed by, Sun's natural senses continued to expand at a drastic rate. Very quickly, he came to understand the nature of his own abilities, as well as his unique magical essence. Using these abilities, he then traced back a set of elaborate, hidden clues left by his true father - bringing him towards an enchanted wellspring - which transported him to [[Throat of the World|a hidden sky palace]]. Having reached the supernatural structure, Sun was then met with his inheritance, as The Monkey King's son. Although given more than Earthly desires could ever imagine, Sun's heart only became more clouded, filled by resentment and anger towards the abandonment felt in his father's wake. That ire only increased, after coming into contact with the [[Isaac Meisner|Sorcerer Supreme]] - who revealed the truth of his father's plan to him.

Eventually, Sun would encounter another Demi-Being named [[Ifrit]] - helping to free the human being inside, allowing them control over their transformation.<ref name=":0">"Journey"</ref> He would once more be visited by the Sorcerer Supreme - and given an important task involving the [[Thaumians]].<ref name=":0" /> He would then be tasked with finding his sister, Sua, in a bid to aid in his new task. Afterwards, Sun would later confront his responsibilities to his adopted father - ultimately deciding to take up his position regarding Ki and Martial Arts.<ref name=":0" />

Later, Sun would encounter a [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|certain vigilante]] in Sanctuary City - being surprised by their capacity to rapidly mimic his own abilities and skills. After a brief test, Sun would later advise them on the nature of their powers - before parting ways.<ref>"Turf Wars" [Part 0 - Prologue]</ref>

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Demi-Being Physiology ===
As the son of The Monkey King, and the pre-ordained "Monkey Prince", Sun is a being of substantial magical power.

Created from a mystical stone similar to his father - Sun was further merged with the conceptual essence of a man. In doing so he became a "Demi-Being" - a magical being who is both supernatural and mortal in nature.

Formed from the essence of his father, Sun exhibits most of the same physical characteristics and traits of The Monkey King - but with a more human appearance to compliment his "half-mortal" nature.

Sun also has a prehensile tail, due to being a supernatural monkey-like being similar to his father, The Monkey King of Legend.

=== "Monkey King" Traits ===
As a Demi-Being constructed with the essence of his father, Sun demonstrates specific abilities unique to his "family" line.

=== Magic ===
Sun has some basic instruction in the mystic arts, due to the basic scrolls and tomes left to him by his father. However, Sun utilizes his own magical energies to cast these spells - making their usage rare in most occasions.

== Items & Techniques ==

=== Ruyi Jingu Bang ===
A magical replica of the legendary staff of The Monkey King. Much like the original staff, Sun's Ruyi Jingu Bang staff can alter its size to virtually any degree.

The staff also has a magical connection to Sun, responding to his mental commands. Because of this, Sun can recall the staff to his side at will. The staff will also duplicate itself alongside Sun during a cloning if necessary.

=== Phoenix Crown ===
A mystical artifact bestowed to Sun by The Monkey King. The Crown reinforces Sun's mind, protecting it from basic mental attacks on his conscious and memories. It also reinforces his mental state, strengthening his resolve against even the most seemingly insurmountable of odds. The Crown can also generate an aura of mental peace and clarity around Sun, easing his allies and slowly pushing against the mental resolve of his opponents.

=== Warrior Wraps ===
The mystical linen wraps that form Sun's gloves in his combat attire. The gloves increase Sun's general dexterity, allowing his fingers and hands to act on instinct.

=== Binding Beads ===
An artifact left to him by his father. The beads combine with the wraps on Sun's hands to form his gloves. The beads themselves have the ability to absorb kinetic energy and store it for later use - amplifying his powers even further.

=== "Monkey Style" Martial Arts ===
Due to his training with his adopted father Gaihou, Sun is proficient at the "Monkey Style" of specialized Ki Martial Arts. The Monkey Style involves quick movements, constant mobility and general agility. It utilizes momentum carried from movements in order to build up strength through striking power.

=== Sinou Grains ===
Magical beans capable of healing any injury.

=== Instantaneous Movement ===
A movement technique inherent to Sun. By using his magical power, Sun can transport himself across Space-Time instantaneously.

With increased power, this ability can potentially be used to move through time - as long as a reference point is first established in the past.

== Notes ==

* Sun originally had a proficiency for Ki - however, that was later given to his sister; creating a contrast in their approaches to combat.
* He was originally supposed to be designed as an alien from another planet - though that was later changed in favor of a mystical approach.
* Sun is a very accomplished chef. He even wants to open his own restaurant eventually.
* Sun is an avid racing fan - and loves Formula One racing, much like another [[Marek Grayson|adrenaline seeker]].
* Sun was heavily inspired by [[Strike Eagle]] - an older Meta-Human hero from decades prior.
** Mainly, he was inspired by his fighting style, being more refined and focused compared to that of other heroes.
** He was also a fan of Strike Eagle's choice of transportation - a modified experimental hovercraft racing vehicle.

Julian Gray

2024-07-23T19:36:01Z

Magister:

[[File:Julian - 9.jpg|thumb|593x593px|Julian]]
'''Julian Sebastian Gray''' is a [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] and the High King of the nation of '''[[Parsinion]]''' - a nation state situated in Western Europe. As the High King of the nation, he is tasked with protecting its citizens, as well as the [[Dimensional Crystal]] which powers the nation. His powers are derived from the higher dimensional God-like being known as [[The Monad]].

== Synopsis ==
Julian is the descendent of warrior kings who have each been bestowed with dimensional abilities. These abilities are the result of a pact made by Julian's ancestor with [[The Monad]] - a higher being with immense power.

After the pact was made by Julian's ancestor, the Grays would then be tasked with the maintaining of order - allowing for the development of a society where all activity would be done to maintain the idea of order.

After sensing a '''Shatter Point''', a nexus of dimensional energies, Julian would make his way to the Seychelles Island to claim its power for himself. Instead, he was then met with a [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|powerful figure]], as well as his [[Orion Thompson (Earth-0)|powerful ally]] - attempting to stop him from realizing his power.

Julian then fought a drawn out battle against his two opponents, culminating in The Monad taking control of his body for the remainder of the fight. Once defeated by his opponents - Julian would later reach a compromise; absorbing the power of the dimensional nexus, while the gateway itself was closed.

He was then advised by Mosaic to begin searching for a queen - a figure who could share power with him and begin transitioning Parsinion into a more egalitarian society. Agreeing that a potential royal wife could give him the cover needed to enact sweeping reforms, Julian then departed from the Seychelles Islands - returning back home to enact his plan.<ref name=":0">"Shatter Point"</ref>

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Dimensional Conduit ===
Julian is a Dimensional Conduit by birth - a being with a strong connection to The Monad.

The Monad is an [[Astrals|Astral]], an extra-dimensional being of immense power. The Monad's essence is that of the conceptual idea of order.

This connection gives Julian access to a variety of abilities which all carry a core aesthetic of dimensional control.

==== Dimensional Manipulation ====
Julian's core ability, bestowed to him by the Monad. This ability allows Julian the ability to control higher-dimensions to a substantial degree, allowing them to interact with three-dimensional space and [[time]] in a controlled manner.
[[File:The Monad - 2.png|thumb|472x472px|The Monad]]
Through his dimensional manipulation, Julian can access the near infinite energies held by countless dimensions - each running parallel to the universe that holds Earth and Parsinion.

==== Dimensional Power Bestowal ====
Julian has the ability to give any person a connection to dimensional energies, similar to his own. However, these energies are controlled through the Dimensional Crystal at the heart of the Parsinion Royal Palace.

A bestowal process involving the majority of Julian's basic abilities - is how the [[Shards]] of Parsinion are created.

==== Connection to The Monad ====
Unique to Julian, he has a psionic connection to the higher dimensional being that is the source of his abilities. The Monad can speak to Julian telepathically, and can converse with him to provide counsel and support.

In rare circumstances where Julian's mind has been rendered unconscious - The Monad can assume control of his body. When this occurs, The Monad begins manifesting more of its full power, leading to an incredibly high increase in raw energy output.

However, The Monad will only maintain control of Julian's body, as long as he remains unconscious. Whenever Julian's consciousness returns to the front of his mind - he immediately regains control of his body in all situations.

== Notes ==

* Julian is the youngest ruler in Parsinion's history.
** He is also potentially the youngest current ruler in the entirety of his Earth.
* Parsinion is close to - but not neighboring [[Stralmont]].
** The two nations are on amicable terms - though tensions are slowly rising.
* Julian has the strongest connection to The Monad in the entire history of the Gray family line - having a connection even stronger than that of the Founder King
* Julian has red hair, due to his mother, Lilyiana also being a redhead.
** Every previous member of his family has either had dark hair, or has been a brunette.
* Julian's favorite food is lasagna - much to the chagrin of Parsinion's royal chefs.
* Julian also adores music, leading to him becoming a proficient musician himself.
** There is a national music day in Parsinion, commemorating his affinity for the subject.
* Julian has a begrudging respect for Mosaic and Omnius - after fighting them both.
** He was particularly impressed by their ability to withstand The Monad and its attacks.
* Julian wishes to undo the orthodox nature of Parsion's monarchy.
** This is why Mosaic gained his favor - as he gave Julian the idea to slowly shift Parsinion towards a more egalitarian society - potentially into a Republic.

Meta-Humans

Magister:

[[File:DNA Art.jpg|thumb]]
'''Meta-Humans''' (Also known as ''Homonus Vltrus''), are a sub-section of Humanity. They are Humans with a unique gene on their 23rd chromosome pair, designated as "MH-001" (colloquially known as the Meta-Gene), which gives them superhuman abilities when activated. Generally thought to be a natural offshoot of humanity, Meta-Humans have become a prominent demographic within the larger expanse of the world - concentrated primarily in Western countries due to their origins. While Meta-Humans have been generally integrated into society and culture, they are nonetheless targeted as scapegoats for various geopolitical and economic circumstances. They are also weaponized in various experimental programs which are done in order to provide strategic benefits to various nations and organizations across the world.

== Characteristics ==

=== Cellular Structure ===
Meta-Humans are generally born with a unique 23rd chromosome pair in their genome, carrying a gene known as "MH-001" or more casually as the "Meta-Gene". This gene, found in the nucleolus of the cell, encodes specific proteins that lead to the creation of "Metachondria" - unique organelles found inside of the cytoplasm of Meta-Human cells. The MH-001 gene also encodes for the creation of Meta-Proteins known as "MHP-002" and "MHP-003". In addition, enzymes known as "MHE-004" and "MHE-005" are encoded in the MH-001 gene as well. The Metachondria of the cell produce biochemical substrates that bind to the MHE enzymes in order to catalyze the metamorphic reactions that give Meta-Humans their abilities. There are enzyme inhibitors that can weaken the effectiveness of these reactions, however they are generally disabled in the bodies of most Meta-Humans.

=== Physiology ===
Most Meta-Humans have a skeletal and musculature structure very similar to that of a Human being. There are no discernible differences from regular Humans in the case of most Meta-Humans. However, certain Meta-Humans with visually distinct characteristics (e.g., wings, animalistic features) may have varying skeletal and musculature systems; usually maintained by the innate abilities manifested from their Meta-Gene. Most Meta-Humans have a degree of physical strength generally above that of normal humans - due to a byproduct of their Metachondria cellular factors amplifying the production of musculature cells, for reinforced durability and strength.

Meta-Human brains have an extra gland called the Metamorphic gland which secretes a hormone called "MHH-006" or "Metatone". Metatone is responsible for the regulation of the Meta-Human body's cellular metabolic activity, serving as a secondary mediator of cytologic activity within the body. Blocking the production of Metatone leads to a gradual wind-down of metabolic activity in Meta-Human cells, with the inevitable effect being the complete loss of their powers; so long as the Metatone production system is deactivated. This neutralization factor is the basis of Meta-Human Dampener technology used by the Meta-Human Response Division (MRD) and all Meta-Human law enforcement organizations.

=== True Origins ===
In reality, the Meta-Gene and Metanium are direct manifestations of the [[Power IsoMatrix]] - one of the core foundational forces of existence.

== History ==

=== Early Period (1960s - 1970s) ===
Meta-Humans first came about as the result of an experimental procedure involving alien material, recovered from a meteorite strike. The meteorite, an obsidian and ruby ore the size of a car, crash landed in the continental United States on June 6th, 1960. The meteorite was immediately recovered by the U.S. Government and examined for study. Upon initial inspection, scientists noticed a strange, glowing red substance arcing across the crystaline structure of the meteorite ore. The substance was chemically inert in most circumstances, but reacted strongly in the presence of biological material - carbon-based in nature. After theorizing about the substance's potential mutagenic properties, the substance was then dubbed "Metanium", and initially believed to be a new chemical element from the deep reaches of outer space.

Subsequent experimentation involving the Metanium led to the creation of the "Meta-Human Genesis" Project. An experimental initiative in which the Metanium substance was suspended inside of a carrier fluid, aerosolized and then converted into pressurized vapor. This was done after learning that Metanium could be evaporated from its liquid state at room temperature - at extremely high pressures (even sublimation from a solid state was possible with the same pressurized conditions). The lead experimenter on the project was Dr. Amadeus Grayson - a revered scientist and molecular biologist, hired by the U.S. Government to determine the viability of the Metanium substance for combat purposes. Although reluctant at first to engage with the request, Amadeus eventually relented. The first experiments involved injured prisoners from correctional facilities who had waived their rights for experimentation purposes. The subjects were injected with a saline solution of the vaporized Metanium, intravenously, in order to observe the potential of the mutagenic substance adaptational abilities. The subjects all died shortly after injection - with the cause of death later determined to be the concentration of vaporized solution given.

However, one subject did achieve success with the experiment. The subject, known as "MHEXP-001", was a man in his late 20s with no history of genetic or environmentally developed diseases. The lone survivor of the subject was then subsequently tested again several times afterwards. With each injection of the Metanium, the subject became more and more unstable - until they finally manifested Pyrokinesis; the psionic ability to generate and manipulate fire and flames. This was the first officially recorded display of a Meta-Human ability.

Later in the testing process, Dr. Grayson continued his experiments on behalf of the U.S. Government - only later relenting after recognizing the unstable nature of the subjects he was creating. They were seemingly stronger and more durable than regular humans, with a remarkable degree of supernatural skill and power. He would later name these humans "Meta-Humans" for their blatantly supernatural displays of power and strength. During one of his experiments, Dr. Grayson had been testing a variant of the Metanium that had mutated into a different form. This new variant of the Metanium was highly virulent in nature, capable of propagating itself in its inorganic state like a virus. During an experiment, a test subject instinctively threw the vial containing the mutated Metanium away from them - causing it to fall to the ground, shattering.

The shattered vial then released the inorganic and virulent mutagenic substance - causing it to begin rapidly transmitting itself throughout the facility, out of the ventilation systems and out into the wider world. The substance - undetectable to the human eye, would later propagate across the entire world, slowly mutating the genetic information of all Human beings - but only Human beings. Now carrying the MH-001 gene due to the genetic recombination effects of the Metanium - humans would slowly begin giving birth to Meta-Humans at a gradual rate. The recessive nature of the MH-001 gene made the propagation slow and gradual, but over time more and more Meta-Humans would start to appear across the world - leading to their later emergence as a sub-group of humanity.

Decades later in the mid 1980s, Dr. Amadeus Grayson would later die from concentrated exposure to the Metanium substance; leaving behind his two young sons, Elias and Silas Grayson, to continue in his footsteps and further their understanding of the Meta-Gene.

== Classifications ==
The [[Meta-Human Response Division]] classifies Meta-Humans into various different classes and types. These classifications are generally made with the purpose of assessing the variability of threat posed by each potential Meta-Human criminal they encounter. Most Meta-Humans registered in the MRD Database are given a classification based on their demonstrated capabilities.

=== Main Classes ===
There are 5 main Meta-Human classes, ranked in scale and in terms of severity pertaining to MRD assessments. These classes include:

* '''Omega (Ω)''': Meta-Humans with abilities so exceedingly powerful, that they cannot be contained by any means. Omega Class Meta-Humans are more of a "theoretical" classification than an actual practical classification.

* '''Alpha (α)''': Meta-Humans with abilities that are far beyond the capabilities of a regular human. Containment of Alpha Class Meta-Humans is incredibly difficult, generally requiring the [[Meta-Ops Unit]] to contain properly. (e.g. High-level Telepathy)
* '''Beta (β)''': Meta-Humans with abilities somewhat above those of a normal human. Containment is very difficult, requiring proper planning, coordination and tactics. (e.g. Psionic Manipulation)
* '''Gamma (γ)''': Meta-Humans with abilities slightly above those of normal humans. Containment requires some coordination and planning, though not much. (e.g. The ability to produce and control flames)
* '''Delta (Δ)''': Meta-Humans with abilities that give no material advantage over those of regular humans. Containment does not require MRD personnel to achieve effectively. (e.g. The ability for the individual to change the color of their eyes)

=== Types ===
In addition to the main classes, there are also different "types" of Meta-Human categorizations, each dependent on the unique nature of the abilities being assessed. The types can be connected with the classes in order to give a more appropriate classification of the Meta-Human being assessed as well.

The Meta-Human types include:

* '''Zeta (Ζ)''': Meta-Humans who can manipulate energy. (e.g. Omni-Energy Manipulation)
* '''Mu (μ)''': Meta-Humans who can manipulate matter. (e.g. Particle Manipulation)
* '''Omicron (Ο)''': Meta-Humans with the capacity to "evolve" Meta-Human abilities; either their own or those of other Meta-Humans. (e.g. Self-Power Augmentation)
* '''Rho (ρ)''': Meta-Humans who can manipulate their bodies in some way. (e.g. Shapeshifting)
* '''Phi (Θ)''': Meta-Humans with extraneous abilities that aren't covered by other types.
* '''Psi (Ψ)''': Meta-Humans with [[Psionic]] abilities. (e.g. Telepathy)

== Dampeners ==
Devices created to negate the abilities of Meta-Humans. These devices produce carefully tuned ultrasound frequencies that are extremely low-level in frequency. As these ultrasound frequencies come into contact with Meta-Humans, they reverberate across their bodies and create a resonance within them. This resonance causes a disruption to the Metamorphic gland inside of the Meta-Human brain, leading to the aforementioned gradual negation of their abilities. Dampeners generally operate as high energy machines, requiring substantially large wattages of electrical current to sustain. Some Meta-Humans, under rare circumstances, can develop a partial resistance or even an immunity to dampeners. In such cases more invasive approaches, such as neurosurgery to remove their Metamorphic glands, may be required. Chemical treatments involving the creation of hormonal inhibitors may also be utilized.

Meta-Humans with external physical structures and components (e.g. wings and feathers) will still retain their physical characteristics - even under prolonged exposure to dampener frequencies. Extremely long periods of chronic exposure to dampener frequencies are required to reverse the effects of physical Meta-Human alterations. In the absence of this chronic exposure to Meta-Human dampener frequencies - Meta-Humans may opt for surgery or gene recombination treatments to expedite the process of returning to their "human" forms instead.

The Meta-Human dampening phenomenon was first demonstrated by [[Elias Grayson |Dr. Elias Nathaniel Grayson]] as part of his doctoral thesis regarding integrated Meta-Human endocrinology and virology. The patent for the first medicinal Meta-Human Dampener device was then filed as a joint venture between Elias Grayson and his friend [[William Whitemalkin]]; making it the first commercial product of his company - [[Grayson Industries]]. The next breakthroughs involving the Meta-Human dampening phenomenon came from Dr. Silas Matthew Grayson - and involved the miniaturization of the electrical components and semiconductors required to activate the dampener machinery. This new "portable" dampener was drastically smaller in size - around the size of a large water cooler. The resulting device was one of the first commercial products created by [[Archeon Incorporated]] in their early years as a science and technology company.

Jack Blackburn

2024-07-03T03:13:47Z

Magister:

[[File:Paladin.jpg|thumb|593x593px|Paladin]]
'''Jack Nathaniel Blackburn''' is a [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] | [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] hybrid. He is the current protector of [[Earth-101]], a world without the [[IsoMatrix|IsoMatrix Users]]. His current hero name is '''Paladin''' - after being morally purified. Prior to this, he was the Arch-Enemy of [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|Mosaic]], and called himself '''Faust'''.

== Synopsis ==
Jack Blackburn was the only child of Derek and Samantha Blackburn - former business moguls who were rivals to [[Silas Grayson]] and [[Archeon Incorporated]] in the 1980s.

The two moguls faced countless setbacks, as they attempted to compete with Archeon's nuclear fusion generators. After various failures in their attempts to bring competing devices to market, their business later filed for bankruptcy.

This led them to turn to organized crime, in order to maintain their lifestyles - a life that Jack would grow up into. Eventually, Jack would meet Aiden during their time in school - and a chain of events would lead to Aiden getting him and his family arrested for their crimes.

After originally becoming Faust due to experimentation done on him in prison, he would later fight his arch-enemy, Mosaic on several occasions.

Once Faust learned Mosaic's true identity - his disdain for the vigilante turned into outright hatred - leading him on a focused warpath against Mosaic.

Eventually, Faust would be converted into a hero through the magic of the Sorceress Supreme - after being defeated multiple times.

Now known as Paladin - Jack would repent his previous actions, determined to become a hero for those who can't fight for themselves.

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Power Manifestation ===
As Faust, Jack had the ability to manifest various Meta-Human powers depending on the situation. This was the result of the sabotaged experiment which infused him with a mutated version of the Metanium metal element.

=== Dark Dimensional Powers [Formerly] ===
As the conduit of Nyrian's essence, Faust gained additional powers involving supernatural elements and higher dimensions. Similar to the [[Julian Gray|Sovereign]] - Faust had the ability to open dimensional portals, allowing monsters to appear from various other dimensions.

These powers were removed once his connection to Nyrian was severed by the Invertere spell.

=== Divine Conduit ===
As Paladin, Jack lost his connection to his previous cosmic master - instead gaining a proportional amount of magic power.

This magical power would then be used to mimic the combined power of 12 Greco-Roman Gods of antiquity.

Imbued with said Godly powers, Paladin is now capable of various supernatural feats.

Paladin has demonstrated immense superhuman speed, rivaling that of speedsters due to the powers of Hermes | Mercury - one of the Gods whom he draws power from.<ref name=":3">"Reconciliation" </ref>

Paladin used the speed of Hermes | Mercury to fly into the air - breaking through universal barriers and making his way to a different universe, effortlessly.<ref name=":3" />

== Notes ==

* Faust is the second major enemy that Mosaic has a direct connection to.
** The first enemy being [[Elias Grayson|Chiral]].
* Jack is a thematic foil of Aiden.
** Whereas Aiden grew up with a present father, Jack's father and mother were both absent.
** Aiden's family built their business on the foundation of legitimate business. Jack's family was forced to resort to crime in order to grow their wealth.
** Aiden has genuine empathy for people, even if he is somewhat impulsive and abrasive. Jack harbored no such care of human beings - seeing them as tools.
* Jack has an inferiority complex towards Aiden - unable to accept his own failures and lack of personal achievements.
** Instead, Jack projects his insecurities and resentments onto Aiden - until his inversion event changed that.
* Jack ultimately wishes that he was more like Aiden - a sentiment he kept buried deep down in his heart.
** It was the inversion of his moral alignment and personality traits which ultimately forced him to admit that fact to Mosaic and the Sorcerers Supreme who were present at the situation.<ref name=":3" />
* Jack is currently on a world with supernatural threats - but no superhumans to defend it - which he sees as the ultimate proving ground for his redemption as a person.

Akito Tasogare

2024-07-03T03:05:43Z

Magister:

'''Akito Tasogare''' is a [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] | [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] hybrid - currently living in Kyoto, Japan. He is the head of the [[Tasogare]] family and CEO of the [[Seishin Corporation]].

{{Infobox person|birth_date=May 5th, 1996|birth_name="Akito Tasogare"|birth_place=Kyoto, Japan|caption=Yes, he's aware of the eyeliner.|family=Tasogare family|nationality=Japanese|parents=[[Hiruzen Tasogare|Hiruzen Tasogare]] (father), [[Sakura Tasogare|Sakura Tasogare]] (mother)|relatives=[[Asami Tasogare|Asami Tasogare]] (sister) [[Hanabi Tasogare|Hanabi Tasogare]] (half-sister) [[Hitomi Tasogare|Hitomi Tasogare]] (half-sister)|image=Akito - 2.jpg}}

As both the current wielder of the [[Eien no Yoru]], and the human host of the God-like being known as [[Kurai]], Akito is also known as '''Kagemusha -''' the leader of the [[Shadows]].

== Summary ==

=== Early Life ===
Akito was born to Hiruzen and Sakura Tasogare - the former leaders of the Tasogare family in Japan. As the first born son and successor to the mantle of Kagemusha, Hiruzen ensured that Akito would proceed with the transference ritual as a child.

Through the ritual, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade was transferred to Akito - along with the malevolent [[Kurai|consciousness]] harbored within. Eventually, his father passed away after succumbing to injuries from an assassination attempt - with his mother having already left earlier in his life due to unknown reasons.

As a teenager, Akito was then burdened with the responsibility of leading the Tasogare family to prominence. To that end, he devised a plan to systematically weaken and destroy their main enemies - the [[Hoyokazi Family|Hoyokazi]] family.

=== Kagemusha ===
After reaching young adulthood at the age of 18, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade would slowly start to influence Akito's mind - compelling him to engage in greater displays of force and strength towards his goal.

To that end, he began to commune with the spirit of the God-like being contained within the blade. The spirit would then begin instructing Akito on how to master his innate abilities, while also instructing him in the art of swordsmanship.

Once his training was complete, Akito would then become the new Kagemusha. He then assumed full command of the Shadows; a supernatural shinobi force that enforces the will of the Tasogare family.

== Powers ==

=== Meta-Gene ===
Akito has a Meta-Gene that grants him substantial energy manipulation abilities. He can passively absorb ambient energy in his surroundings, storing it and channeling back in various ways.

He can also passively generate enormous amounts of energy - to allowing him to gradually and systematically alter his own physiology, strengthening it over the course of a decade.

His cellular structure is also reinforced by this ability, constantly saturated with energy to prolong his own longevity as a human.

=== Magic ===
As the wielder of the Eien no Yoru and the other half of Kurai - Akito is capable of utilizing the forces of [[Magic]] to an immense degree.

Initially, Akito's usage of magic was relegated to basic amplification of his physical traits - much like the rest of his family.

However, due to his encounter with [[Selathiel Thaumiel|Ouranos]], Akito replicated his magical knowledge and gained the ability to become a master sorcerer.<ref name=":1">"Midnight Blade, Shining Light"</ref>

Due to this increase in knowledge, Akito can now cast spells as efficiently as any skilled magician or sorcerer can.

=== Shadow Arts ===
As a Tasogare and as Kagemusha, Akito has access to four unique [[Shadow Arts]] - magical techniques and abilities that are inherent to members of the Tasogare family.

==== #1 - Altar ====
A cumulative Shadow Art first bestowed upon the original Kagemusha by Kurai. It is inherited by all future Kagemusha after him by design.

Altar is a stockpiling Shadow Art that absorbs the Shadow Arts of all members of the Tasogare family after they die.

==== #2 - Fissure ====
The Shadow Art inherited from the Eien no Yoru blade itself.

A spatial slash attack that generates magical energy that is refined to the point of being able to cut through the fabric of space-time itself.

The attack bypasses virtually all defenses unless they are supernaturally reinforced.

==== #3 - Expanse ====
Akito's innate Shadow Art.

This magical ability allows Akito to directly the fabric of space-time itself - potentially to a nigh-absolute degree.

===== Space Manipulation =====
Akito's primary usage of Expanse is the direct alteration of space itself.

Akito can use this ability to create vacuums that pull his surroundings in, or spatial expansions that push his surroundings out like an explosion of force.

===== Time Manipulation =====
Another application of Akito's Expanse Shadow Art is the ability to alter the flow of time relative to himself and others in his environment.

He can create localized spatial-temporal "spheres" to alter the relative movement of time around his targets - either freezing them in stasis or rapidly accelerating them. He can also loop them within a range of time.

Akito can also drag time to a near halt around him - effectively stopping time if he chooses to.

==== #4 - Shadow Beasts ====
The final Shadow Art, an inherited technique passed down from generations of Tasogare leaders.

The ability allows Akito to summon twelve magical creatures through a mass of shadows that he creates.

=== Seishin Shiryoku ===
The Seishin Shiryoku (Spirit Sight) is the name given to Akito's supernatural and magic-based eyes, created through the use of a [[Sacrificial Pact]] by his mother, Sakura.

From the pact, Akito gained supernatural vision - allowing him to perceive ghosts, spirits and other forms of non-physical and non-corporeal phenomena.

In addition, Akito's energy efficiency is pushed to its absolute limit due to this ability - making him virtually impossible to wear out in a fight.

This improved efficiency, combined with his inherent energy generation, give him virtually infinite stamina.

== Equipment ==

=== Eien no Yoru ===
The Tasogare family sword, also known as '''Eternal Night'''. It is the source of the Tasogare family's magical powers - such as Shadow Arts and Sacrificial Pacts. It also houses the spirit of the magical god-like being known as Kurai.

The sword contains Kurai's will, and magically binds itself to its user - who is usually the head of the Tasogare family.

Once bound, the user and Kurai's will slowly become one - as they become the composite being known as Kagemusha.

Ownership of the blade grants the user access to powerful reserves of magical spells and techniques.

The Eien no Yoru can also absorb magical energy and disperse it. The sword can also imbue others with latent magical potential - allowing them to develop their own Shadow Arts, though at the expense of their free will.

Akito can also remotely control the sword with his mind - which he used to catch Ryozo Hoyokazi off guard in their first confrontation. <ref name=":0">"Shadow of the Blade"</ref>

=== Kagemusha Armor ===
The mystical armor that Akito wears when he assumes the role of Kagemusha. It is reinforced with magical power, and can withstand substantial amounts of force.

The armor also distorts Akito's voice, making him completely unrecognizable.

== Skills ==

=== Master Swordsmanship ===
Akito is a master of all known forms of Japanese sword combat - including Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu. Though he has a preference for quick draw techniques to quickly finish encounters, he is also capable of longer confrontations.

=== Martial Arts ===
Akito is also skilled in different forms of Martial Arts, from Karate and Tae Kwon Do to Judo and even more eccentric styles such as Capoeira.

== Notes ==

* Akito and his younger sister Asami are not Hiruzen's only children.
** He has several half-brothers and half-sisters who also have Shadow Arts.
** Akito was chosen as the head of the Tasogare family due to the Sacrificial Pact that his mother Sakura made in secret - years after he was born.
*** His immense affinity for magic and the Shadow Arts is thanks to his Spirit Sight - which is the result of his mother's Sacrificial Pact.
**** That extreme affinity is what made him Hiruzen's chosen successor.
* Akito has red eye markings on his face - which denote his fusion with Kurai.
** He has occasionally been teased by his sister for his "eyeliner".
* Akito's favorite color is red, unsurprisingly so.
* Akito and Ryozo's fathers were originally close friends, until Ryozo's father married into the Hoyokazi family.
** As such, Akito believes that Ryozo should show loyalty to him over the Hoyokazi family.

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Axiomatic Control ===
[[File:Doctor - 5.jpg|thumb|Sorcerer Supreme Outfit]]
As the one and only Incarnation of the [[Concept IsoMatrix]] - Isaac has an innate control over axioms, the self-evident nature of ideas.

This gives Isaac relative control over the perception of ideas, and their resulting effects.

Isaac can use this power to gradually weaken or strengthen individuals based on his perception of them.

The ability of [[Observation]] is a weakened expression of this ability.

=== Magic ===
As the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-0, Doctor has decades of extensive training in the mystic arts; knowing various forms of magic in the form of spells, hexes, incantations, jinxes and charms.

His style of magical casting is very similar to that of Magister, in the sense that he is extremely methodical in nature.

Doctor is capable of various magical effects and abilities,Skills

As Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor is also well versed in various dextrous skills and techniques, thanks to his decades of training with beings such as Thoth.

Marc Faber

2024-07-03T02:52:56Z

Magister:

[[File:Marc - 5.png|thumb|545x545px|Marc]]
'''Marc Elijah Faber''' is a [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] scientist working for the [[New Science Initiative]] in [[Sanctuary City]]. He is the head of the research initiative's Baryonic Particle Program. He is also the Meta-Human vigilante known as '''Nucleon'''.

== Synopsis ==
Marc Faber is the lead physicist on the New Science Initiative's Baryonic Particle Program. As a world class physicist and mathematician, Marc currently oversees the project - even after the accident which nearly cost him his life. Dedicated to the pursuit of scientific progress, Marc has obsessed over the potential for harnessing subatomic particles and quantum effects - in an effort to introduce new methods of energy production and climate alteration on large scales.

After an experiment, he gained the ability to transform into '''Nucleon''' - a Quantum Energy being capable of extraordinary feats.

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Energy & Matter Manipulation ===
Marc has the ability to control both energy and matter to varying degrees - depending on his level of concentration.

=== Quantum Field Conduit ===
[[File:Nucleon - 6.jpg|thumb|Nucleon - Stabilized Form [Full Power]]]
After the particle accelerator accident with the Quantum Field Generator, Marc became a Conduit of the "Quantum Force" - an extra-dimensional probability space of quantum structures and events.

The Quantum Force contains virtually limitless reserves of energy as an entirely separate dimension - filled with probability spaces and quantum uncertainties.

This is how Marc can turn into Nucleon.

==== Fusion ====
Marc can also temporarily fuse himself with other beings while in his Conduit state.

Temporary "Echoes" of the other being's powers and abilities remain in the Quantum Force - disappearing after a few days.

== Notes ==

* Marc is the first character to tap into the Quantum Force - an aspect of the [[Structure IsoMatrix]] and its control over fundamental forces and energies in the multiverse.
* Marc is noted to be very absent minded outside of research work - being more focused on the pursuit of science than anything else.
** Even his partner, Lily, teases him for this - regularly.
* Marc doesn't keep in contact with his family outside of his mother. He naturally has a very strained relationship with his father given the circumstances.
* Marc has considered reaching out to the MRD for assistance with his new condition - though he's concerned about being turned into a potential weapon for the organization as well.
* Marc's favorite food is pasta with marinara sauce specifically.
* Marc hopes to one day become an accomplished physicist with countless academic papers.
* Marc believes that education is critical to personal development and growth as a person.

Marek Grayson

2024-07-03T02:51:55Z

Magister:

[[File:Marek - 3.jpg|thumb|566x566px|''"Hey, I know better than to get between my sister and her toy."'']]
'''Marek Alistair Grayson''' is a [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] living in San Francisco. He is the CEO of Grayson Industries. He is also the son of the Meta-Human scientist, [[Elias Grayson]] and the [[Sirens|Siren]] known as [[Ophelia Grayson]]. He is also the vigilante known as '''Chimera'''.

== Synopsis ==
Marek is the oldest of three children conceived by Elias Grayson and Ophelia Grayson in the early 90s. His siblings include his younger sister [[Miranda Grayson]], and his younger brother [[Jakob Grayson]].

After Elias's death, Marek and his siblings were adopted by William William and Theresa Whitemalkin. William Whitemalkin was a close friend of Elias's - going back to secondary school. While William struggled to be a father to his adopted children - he inherited control of Grayson Industries after Elias's death - due to being the majority shareholder, and his will not allowing Marek to gain control until his 18th birthday.

By the time of Marek's 18th, birthday, he and Miranda put their plan in action to put William behind bars. After being put on trial and exposed for his crimes - William was then sent to prison with a life sentence, for the magnitude of the crimes that he committed.

Soon afterwards, Marek decided to use his powers to become a vigilante - Chimera.

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Chimera DNA ===
Similarly to his cousins, Marek has a unique form of Meta-Human DNA which operates on a genomic level to sequence DNA - similar to Mosaic DNA.

However, unlike Mosaic DNA, Chimera DNA is not spontaneously mutable. Instead, Chimera DNA requires active catalysts.

Instead of re-sequencing itself in order to mimic different Meta-Gene sequences, Chimera DNA involves the rapid absorption and direct integration of genetic information into the genom.

==== Power Replication ====
Thanks to his Chimera DNA, Marek is able to replicate the abilities of any Meta-Human that he physically touches.

=== Intuitive Aptitude ===
An entirely separate ability, inherent to Marek's direct family. Like his siblings and his father, Marek has the unique [[Psionics|psionic]] ability to instantaneously and perfectly understand any mechanism or system that he observes.

== Items & Equipment ==

=== Dimensional Gear ===
Marek is genetically bonded to one of the two Dimensional Gears created by [[Mechanicus]] - the founder of [[Thulcandra]]. The Dimensional Gear is one of the most sophisticated pieces of technology ever created.

Marek has ownership of the "Sirius" or "S" Dimensional Gear.

==== The Charon ====
A large, technologically advanced superstructure - similar in appearance to a futuristic airship.

== Notes ==

* Marek is currently dating [[Jenny Dawkins]] - though he's not exactly close with her [[Lisa Dawkins (Earth-0)|sister]], nor the rest of her family.
** He has never actually met them - reinforcing his apathy towards them.
* He has a rather amicable relationship with his cousin - [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|Aiden]].
* Unlike Miranda, Marek is not a Siren - nor is their younger brother, Jakob. Although both he and Jakob do carry the genetic Siren Imprint.
* Marek has a very overprotective demeanor towards his younger sister Miranda and his younger brother Jakob.
* While his Intuitive Aptitude is difficult to control, Marek has the greatest control over the ability in his family due to his years of active engineering work.
* Marek has a PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He also has a PhD in Mathematics, like his cousin Jonah.
* Marek genuinely believes that Humans and Meta-Humans can co-exist, and is determined to do whatever he can to ensure that becomes a reality.
* Marek's favorite food is hamburgers - like his cousin Aiden.
* Marek's favorite color is, ironically enough, red - despite his blue armor as Chimera.
* He wears sunglasses to give himself a casual demeanor - contributing to his personality as a laid back and wealthy CEO.
** This contrasts with his real personality as Chimera - where he's hellbent on achieving his goals by any means necessary.
* Marek's favorite instrument is the Cello.
* Marek's name comes from the Roman God of War - Mars.
** Coincidentally, Mars is his favorite planet due to the Iron (III) Oxide reactions that turned the surface of the planet red - as red is his favorite color.
* Marek's favorite genre of music is Industrial Rock, just like his cousin Aiden.
* Although weaker than his cousin, currently - Marek is incredibly proud of Aiden's power development, taking pride in his increased strength.
* Marek is a very good driver, and is an avid Formula One fan.
* Marek is very snarky and sardonic, and generally has a sarcastic tone of voice when talking to people in most circumstances.

Julian Gray

2024-07-03T02:39:47Z

Magister:

[[File:Julian - 9.jpg|thumb|593x593px|Julian]]
'''Julian Sebastian Gray''' is a [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] and the High King of the nation of '''[[Parsinion]]''' - a nation state situated in Western Europe. As the High King of the nation, he is tasked with protecting its citizens, as well as [[Dimensional Crystal]] which powers the nation. His powers are derived from the higher dimensional God-like being known as [[The Monad]].

== Synopsis ==
Julian is the descendent of warrior kings who have each been bestowed with dimensional abilities. These abilities are the result of a pact made by Julian's ancestor with [[The Monad]] - a higher being with immense power.

After the pact was made by Julian's ancestor, the Grays would then be tasked with the maintaining of order - allowing for the development of a society where all activity would be done to maintain the idea of order.

After sensing a '''Shatter Point''', a nexus of dimensional energies, Julian would make his way to the Seychelles Island to claim its power for himself.<ref name=":0">"Shatter Point"</ref> Instead, he was then met with a [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|powerful figure]], as well as his [[Orion Thompson (Earth-0)|powerful ally]] - attempting to stop him from realizing his power.<ref name=":0" />

Julian then fought a drawn out battle against his two opponents, culminating in The Monad taking control of his body for the remainder of the fight.<ref name=":0" /> Once defeated by his opponents - Julian would later reach a compromise; absorbing the power of the dimensional nexus, while the gateway itself was closed.<ref name=":0" />

He was then advised by Mosaic to begin searching for a queen - a figure who could share power with him and begin transitioning Parsinion into a more egalitarian society.<ref name=":0" /> Agreeing that a potential royal wife could give him the cover needed to enact sweeping reforms, Julian then departed from the Seychelles Islands - returning back home to enact his plan.<ref name=":0" />

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Dimensional Conduit ===
Julian is a Dimensional Conduit by birth - a being with a strong connection to The Monad.

The Monad is an [[Astrals|Astral]], an extra-dimensional being of immense power. The Monad's essence is that of the conceptual idea of order.

This connection gives Julian access to a variety of abilities which all carry a core aesthetic of dimensional control.

==== Dimensional Manipulation ====
Julian's core ability, bestowed to him by the Monad. This ability allows Julian the ability to control higher-dimensions to a substantial degree, allowing them to interact with three-dimensional space and [[time]] in a controlled manner.
[[File:The Monad - 2.png|thumb|472x472px|The Monad]]
Through his dimensional manipulation, Julian can access the near infinite energies held by countless dimensions - each running parallel to the universe that holds Earth and Parsinion.

==== Dimensional Power Bestowal ====
Julian has the ability to give any person a connection to dimensional energies, similar to his own. However, these energies are controlled through the Dimensional Crystal at the heart of the Parsinion Royal Palace.

A bestowal process involving the majority of Julian's basic abilities - is how the [[Shards]] of Parsinion are created.

==== Connection to The Monad ====
Unique to Julian, he has a psionic connection to the higher dimensional being that is the source of his abilities. The Monad can speak to Julian telepathically, and can converse with him to provide counsel and support.

In rare circumstances where Julian's mind has been rendered unconscious - The Monad can assume control of his body. When this occurs, The Monad begins manifesting more of its full power, leading to an incredibly high increase in raw energy output.

However, The Monad will only maintain control of Julian's body, as long as he remains unconscious. Whenever Julian's consciousness returns to the front of his mind - he immediately regains control of his body in all situations.

== Notes ==

* Julian is the youngest ruler in Parsinion's history.
** He is also potentially the youngest current ruler in the entirety of his Earth.
* Parsinion is close to - but not neighboring [[Stralmont]].
** The two nations are on amicable terms - though tensions are slowly rising.
* Julian has the strongest connection to The Monad in the entire history of the Gray family line - having a connection even stronger than that of the Founder King
* Julian has red hair, due to his mother, Lilyiana also being a redhead.
** Every previous member of his family has either had dark hair, or has been a brunette.
* Julian's favorite food is lasagna - much to the chagrin of Parsinion's royal chefs.
* Julian also adores music, leading to him becoming a proficient musician himself.
** There is a national music day in Parsinion, commemorating his affinity for the subject.
* Julian has a begrudging respect for Mosaic and Omnius - after fighting them both.
** He was particularly impressed by their ability to withstand The Monad and its attacks.
* Julian wishes to undo the orthodox nature of Parsion's monarchy.
** This is why Mosaic gained his favor - as he gave Julian the idea to slowly shift Parsinion towards a more egalitarian society - potentially into a Republic.

Maxwell Sefirot

2024-07-03T02:35:59Z

Magister:

[[File:Eizen.jpg|thumb|543x543px|"Eizen" - Maxwell's Thulcandran Form]]
'''Maxwell Eizen Sefirot''' is a [[Thulcandrans|Thulcandran]] Chronarch - and the younger brother of [[Laplace Sefirot]]. He is the Thulcandran High Commander, and the second greatest warrior in Thulcandran history - behind the [[Rafael Thaumiel|Prime Destroyer]].

== History ==
Maxwell followed in his older brother, Laplace's footsteps - experiencing the same circumstances that led to him becoming a Thulcandran and later a Chronarch. Afterwards, he became the central defender of the Chronarch Order within Thulcandra - destroying any and all opposition to their rule, and maintaining their hegemony.

For this, he was granted the title of High Commander of the Thulcandran Military - a title only held once prior by an even greater warrior, the Prime Destroyer.

As High Commander, and as a person who is unquestionably loyal to the aims of his older brother - Maxwell accompanies Laplace as his personal bodyguard.

== Powers & Abilities ==
Maxwell has all the same powers and abilities as his older brother Laplace, and as all Thulcandrans and Chronarchs.

== Equipment ==

===Trans-Temporal Carrier (TTC)===
Like all Chronarchs, Maxwell has a personal Trans-Temporal Carrier. However, his TTC remains back on Thulcandra, as he accompanies Laplace in his TTC instead.
===Quantum Tuner===
As a Chronarch, Maxwell carries a Quantum Turner that is also modified like his brothers. Much like Laplace's Quantum Turner, Maxwell's is used to more properly hone his spell casting and magical energy focusing.

== Notes ==

* Maxwell is named after Maxwell's Demon - a hypothetical thought experiment involving the potential undermining of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
* As the main warrior of the Thulcandran Military, Maxwell finds immense pride in his combat capabilities - seemingly trained in every form of martial art ever conceived by human minds.
* Much like his older brother Laplace, Maxwell finds disdain for Humans - seeing them as lesser than Thulcandrans, and prone to emotion-induced errors in judgment.

Laplace Sefirot

2024-07-03T02:34:22Z

Magister:

[[File:Eshiram.jpg|thumb|"Eshiram" - Laplace's Thulcandran Form]]
'''Laplace Eshiram Sefirot''' (also known on Earth as '''Davos Meridian''') is a [[Thulcandrans|Thulcandran]] Chronarch from the Planet Thulcandra. He is the founder of House Sefirot; the second oldest House in the planet's history - second only to House Thaumiel.

He is a nomadic Thulcandran with dreams of conquest; he aims to find a civilization of Humans, which he can cultivate into his own brand of Thulcandrans - in a bid to outshine his rival [[Samael Thaumiel]] and the rest of House Thaumiel.

He is the older brother of Maxwell Sefirot - who is the greatest warrior on Thulcandra, after [[Rafael Thaumiel]].

== History ==
Laplace was once a normal human being on Earth-100, much like Samael. Before his transformation, he was one of the few scientists in the world attempting to find a solution for the global ecological disasters that were destroying the planet. Unsuccessful in his goals, he was then one of the few humans who survived the bombardment of energies from higher dimensions; as the [[Power Storm]] ravaged the Earth.

Alongside his friend, Durante, Laplace would then help to rebuild society, while now having the capabilities and hyper intelligence necessary to find solutions to Earth's problems. However, he refused to venture further into the structural weaknesses in reality created by the Power Storm's arrival. His friend Durante, however, leaped at the chance to explore further into the supernatural powers that had manifested on their world. He and his older sister, Valencia, then ended up becoming the first Chronarchs - and began using their powers in order to rapidly reshape society to their liking.

Stunned at their blatant disregard for the lives and personal histories of billions of human beings - an enraged Laplace decided to act. Now feeling betrayed by the reckless abandon of his friend, Laplace also forcefully imbued himself with greater degrees of power and energy - becoming a Chronarch alongside Durante and Valencia. While his friends decided to change their names to reflect their new titles, Laplace kept his name - only changing his surname to establish a rival house that could eventually surpass the Thaumiels - and become the prevailing House on Thulcandra.

After Thulcandra's transportation to Earth-0, in an attempt to escape [[Antipathy|their greatest enemy]] - Laplace took an interest in the new Earth, recognizing the similarities between the Thulcandrans and the [[Meta-Humans]] of the planet. In a bid to transform the Earth into a second Thulcandra, one that would give him the ability to overthrow the Thaumiels - Laplace then set his plan into motion, his slow attempted takeover of planet Earth.

== Powers & Abilities ==
Laplace has all of the standard powers and abilities of a Thulcandran and a Chronarch.

== Equipment ==

=== Trans-Temporal Carrier (TTC) ===
Like all Chronarchs, Laplace has a personal Trans-Temporal Carrier that he uses as his base of operations. It functions the same as all TTCs, with his being especially devoted to his cause.

=== Quantum Tuner ===
As a Chronarch, Laplace carries a modified Quantum Turner, capable of the same functions as any other. However, his is seemingly modified with magical technology to allow more effective spell casting.

== Notes ==

* Laplace is named after Laplace's Demon - the hypothetical thought experiment in which the nature of Deterministic action was argued.
** Laplace as a Thulcandran Chronarch - genuinely believes in the power of cause and effect; and convinced that any and all actions taken - can be manipulated to a specific conclusion.
** As such, he is hell-bent on his goal of taking over the world, as he believes it is his destiny to remake Earth into the Thulcandra that "should have been" in his mind.
* Laplace views humanity as the regressed state of Thulcandra - with human beings likened to "unruly cattle" in his mind.

2024-07-03T02:32:09Z

Magister:

[[File:Original!Samael - 3.jpg|thumb|547x547px|Samael's Chronarch Form - "Mechanicus"]]
'''Samael Michael Thaumiel''' (formerly '''Durante Gray''') is a [[Thulcandrans|Thulcandran]] [[Chronarch]] from the planet of [[Thulcandra]] - an alternate-future version of Earth. He is the leader of [[House Thaumiel]] within the planet's aristocratic hierarchy. His Chronarch title is known as '''"Mechanicus"'''.

== Summary ==
Mechanicus was born as Durante Gray on [[Earth-100|an alternate Earth]] in the 21st century. After a cosmic disaster left the Earth in tatters, he and the rest of humanity were exposed to [[Power IsoMatrix|primordial energies]] from beyond - which seemingly saved them.

He and the rest of humanity were altered by the event, becoming stronger, faster and most importantly - smarter; much smarter than before. Durante especially developed incredible levels of intelligence - leading him to create the first Thulcandran technologies.

After helping to stabilize the planet after the cosmic cataclysm - Earth was renamed '''Thulcandra'''; with humans being renamed as '''Thulcandrans'''.

Soon after the cosmic event, Durante would go on to guide Thulcandrans towards an era of peace and stability - founding Thulcandran society and establishing the core principles and tenets of their civilization.

Soon after gaining a greater understanding of the nature of the space-time continuum, Durante would then establish the [[Chronarch Order]] in conjunction with his older sister, Amelia.

In accordance with their new positions, they retroactively designated themselves the first members of House Thaumiel - the "Twins of God".

Eventually however, the Thulcandrans would be faced with a powerful threat - beyond their initial capabilities. In their haste, they soon left their native universe, taking their local solar system with them.

Soon they would find [[Earth-0|a new universe]] to hide in - until a means of countering their greatest threat would finally appear.

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Thulcandran Physiology ===
Thulcandrans are evolved human beings with millions of years of artificial selection guiding their development. As such, they have access to supernatural powers and abilities far beyond that of normal humans.
==== Supernatural Intelligence ====
The defining trait of Thulcandrans. They are several orders of magnitude more intelligent than human beings. Capable of parallel processing and other cognitive abilities that far exceed those of human beings.

Thulcandrans also have much more neurally dense brains than humans do - allowing for the storing and encoding of information to a much greater degree.

==== Gene Manipulation | "Regeneration" ====
A process created by Samael's older sister - Rafael. Regeneration is the ability of a Thulcandran to psionically manipulate their own DNA. They have a 3rd DNA strand that's designed to maintain continuity between their alterations for this reason.

When significantly damaged, Thulcandrans can "regenerate" into a different appearance - releasing massive quantities of energy as they do so. A Thulcandran can regenerate an indefinite number of times.

==== Superhuman Physical Characteristics ====
Thulcandrans are much stronger, faster, more agile and more durable than human beings are. They also have superhuman senses which humans do not posses.

As a result of their evolved physiology, Thulcandrans are highly resistant to radiation and other forms of conventional danger.

Thulcandrans can also live for a very long time - thousands of years before they show any signs of aging from their prime.

==== [[Psionics]] ====
Thulcandrans, due to their prolonged exposure to cosmic energies in their past - have developed a genetic form of psionics.

=== Chronarch Physiology ===
Chonarchs are Thulcandrans who have been exposed to the primordial energies that saved their society - to a much greater degree.

A further evolution of a basic Thulcandran - Chronarchs are the elite of Thulcandran society, and dictate all aspects of their civilization.

They also possess abilities far beyond that of a normal Thulcandran.

==== Temporal Characteristics ====
Chronarchs have a 4th strand of DNA, temporally engineered and designed to give him a high degree of resistance to time manipulation. This grants Chronarchs the ability to perceive time in a rudimentary sense.

Chronarcs are also able to recognize localized instances of time manipulation - such as temporal loops and slow-downs. They are also able to negate the effects of these temporal manipulations on themselves.

==== Evolved Supernatural Characteristics ====
Further augmentation of the body has allowed Chronarchs complete psionic control over all subatomic particles, atoms and molecules that comprise their general form. This allows for Chronarchs to display various abilities that exceed those of standard Thulcandrans.

== Items & Equipment ==

=== Trans-Temporal Carrier (TTC) ===
The hallmark achievement of dimensional engineering by Chronarch Society. TTCs are large, higher-dimensional constructs with three-dimensional "shells" or casings. They're complex machines that double as vehicles and are capable of moving through any point in physical space.

They are also capable of movement through time - to a degree. Although TTCs are more hesitant to move through time - due to the intervention of [[Hiyuki Hoyokazi (disambiguation)|unforeseen forces]].

== Notes ==

* Samael and the rest of House Thaumiel are named after the Archangels.
* Samael's surname comes from the Qliphoth.
* Samael's older sister, Rafael - isn't known well by the Thulcandran public at large.
** Samael is hesitant to say anything about her as well.
* Samael's "brother", Gabriel - is a perfect clone of him, created as part of an experiment with their creation chambers.
* Samael calls himself "Virgil" on Earth - as a reference to the famous Roman poet.
** He seems himself as guiding the planet - putting it on a better path.

Julian Gray

2024-07-03T02:26:34Z

Magister:

[[File:Julian - 9.jpg|thumb|593x593px|''"I swore that I wouldn't be the same as my forefathers - and I intend to keep that promise to myself."'']]
'''Julian Sebastian Gray''' is a [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] and the High King of the nation of '''[[Parsinion]]''' - a nation state situated in Western Europe. As the High King of the nation, he is tasked with protecting its citizens, as well as [[Dimensional Crystal]] which powers the nation. His powers are derived from the higher dimensional God-like being known as [[The Monad]].

== Synopsis ==
Julian is the descendent of warrior kings who have each been bestowed with dimensional abilities. These abilities are the result of a pact made by Julian's ancestor with [[The Monad]] - a higher being with immense power.

After the pact was made by Julian's ancestor, the Grays would then be tasked with the maintaining of order - allowing for the development of a society where all activity would be done to maintain the idea of order.

After sensing a '''Shatter Point''', a nexus of dimensional energies, Julian would make his way to the Seychelles Island to claim its power for himself.<ref name=":0">"Shatter Point"</ref> Instead, he was then met with a [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|powerful figure]], as well as his [[Orion Thompson (Earth-0)|powerful ally]] - attempting to stop him from realizing his power.<ref name=":0" />

Julian then fought a drawn out battle against his two opponents, culminating in The Monad taking control of his body for the remainder of the fight.<ref name=":0" /> Once defeated by his opponents - Julian would later reach a compromise; absorbing the power of the dimensional nexus, while the gateway itself was closed.<ref name=":0" />

He was then advised by Mosaic to begin searching for a queen - a figure who could share power with him and begin transitioning Parsinion into a more egalitarian society.<ref name=":0" /> Agreeing that a potential royal wife could give him the cover needed to enact sweeping reforms, Julian then departed from the Seychelles Islands - returning back home to enact his plan.<ref name=":0" />

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Dimensional Conduit ===
Julian is a Dimensional Conduit by birth - a being with a strong connection to The Monad.

The Monad is an [[Astrals|Astral]], an extra-dimensional being of immense power. The Monad's essence is that of the conceptual idea of order.

This connection gives Julian access to a variety of abilities which all carry a core aesthetic of dimensional control.

==== Dimensional Manipulation ====
Julian's core ability, bestowed to him by the Monad. This ability allows Julian the ability to control higher-dimensions to a substantial degree, allowing them to interact with three-dimensional space and [[time]] in a controlled manner.
[[File:The Monad - 2.png|thumb|472x472px|The Monad]]
Through his dimensional manipulation, Julian can access the near infinite energies held by countless dimensions - each running parallel to the universe that holds Earth and Parsinion.

==== Dimensional Power Bestowal ====
Julian has the ability to give any person a connection to dimensional energies, similar to his own. However, these energies are controlled through the Dimensional Crystal at the heart of the Parsinion Royal Palace.

A bestowal process involving the majority of Julian's basic abilities - is how the [[Shards]] of Parsinion are created.

==== Connection to The Monad ====
Unique to Julian, he has a psionic connection to the higher dimensional being that is the source of his abilities. The Monad can speak to Julian telepathically, and can converse with him to provide counsel and support.

In rare circumstances where Julian's mind has been rendered unconscious - The Monad can assume control of his body. When this occurs, The Monad begins manifesting more of its full power, leading to an incredibly high increase in raw energy output.

However, The Monad will only maintain control of Julian's body, as long as he remains unconscious. Whenever Julian's consciousness returns to the front of his mind - he immediately regains control of his body in all situations.

== Notes ==

* Julian is the youngest ruler in Parsinion's history.
** He is also potentially the youngest current ruler in the entirety of his Earth.
* Parsinion is close to - but not neighboring [[Stralmont]].
** The two nations are on amicable terms - though tensions are slowly rising.
* Julian has the strongest connection to The Monad in the entire history of the Gray family line - having a connection even stronger than that of the Founder King
* Julian has red hair, due to his mother, Lilyiana also being a redhead.
** Every previous member of his family has either had dark hair, or has been a brunette.
* Julian's favorite food is lasagna - much to the chagrin of Parsinion's royal chefs.
* Julian also adores music, leading to him becoming a proficient musician himself.
** There is a national music day in Parsinion, commemorating his affinity for the subject.
* Julian has a begrudging respect for Mosaic and Omnius - after fighting them both.
** He was particularly impressed by their ability to withstand The Monad and its attacks.
* Julian wishes to undo the orthodox nature of Parsion's monarchy.
** This is why Mosaic gained his favor - as he gave Julian the idea to slowly shift Parsinion towards a more egalitarian society - potentially into a Republic.

Sua Wukong

2024-07-03T02:22:11Z

Magister:

[[File:Sua - 5.jpg|thumb|690x690px|''"You and I both know that's not the reason. So why don't you toss it out of your mouth already, Sun? You're too prideful to admit that it's not '''beneath''' you to care about that."'']]
'''Quan Yin Wukong''', also known as '''Sua Wukong''', is a '''Demi-Being'''. She is the second "child" of the fabled Monkey King of Legend. She lives in [[Paradise City]]. She is also the younger sister of [[Sun Wukong II]].

== Synposis ==
The firstborn "daughter" of The Monkey King. Quan Yin herself was named after the Godlike being whom her father frequently interacted with in his past; as his daughter was his tribute to her. Similarly to her brother, Quan Yin was created to serve as a failsafe contingency to divert The Monkey King's enemies away from his own energy signature - and towards hers instead. Much like her older brother, she grew up in the shadow of her father's own mistakes and past actions - leading to a similar feeling of anger and resentment building up inside of her.

Unlike Sun, Quan Yin was instead adopted by a wealthy business family in the Northeast. Given a life of relative luxury and comfort, Quan Yin was spared from most of the same supernatural encounters as her older brother. However, much like Sun himself, Quan Yin would eventually fall victim to the same mystical and supernatural forces who wanted revenge on her father. After living most of her childhood in relative peace due to her family's wealth, security and connections - Quan Yin was instead forced to learn how to fight - after a powerful supernatural being finally caught up with her - and killed her adopted parents.

Awakening to her hidden power, in part due to her traumatic experience - she effortlessly killed the supernatural monster in a fit of rage. Afterwards, an aimless Quan Yin would soon be guided by only her supernatural senses - eventually catching the attention of her older brother - Sun Wukong II. Soon after meeting him, and learning that she wasn't alone in the world - Quan Yin vowed to train with him for the remainder of her adolescence, hoping to become strong enough to avenge the murder of her parents and ultimately wipe out all supernatural monsters that attempt to prey on humanity. Quan Yin would later disregard her birth name and rename herself "'''Sua'''" in gratitude towards her older brother.

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Demi-Being Physiology ===
As a Demi-Being, Sua also possesses the same attributes as her brother in most circumstances.

=== "Monkey King" Traits ===
Similar to her brother, Sua possesses certain abilities instinctively linked to her father's essence and power.

Because of this, she can perform different effects that are unique to her nature as the Monkey King's daughter.

=== Ki ===
Unlike her brother, Sua is an adept practitioner of Ki abilities. Having spent most of her adolescence training under her mentor, [[Gaihou]] - Sua developed a much stronger affinity for Ki control than her brother.

== Notes ==

* Sua is designed to be Sun's thematic opposite in every way.
** Sun grew up humble in a remote village with his adopted father.
*** Sua grew up in a wealthy family in an urban city environment.
** Sun feels a sense of responsibility and obligation to both his adopted father's teachings, and his biological father's name.
*** Sua feels neither responsibility by comparison.
** Sun is honed in Martial Arts, but is a far stronger magical being.
*** Sua, while lacking magical strength, is far more in tune with Ki by comparison.
* Sua really loves fashion - and has a series of outfits that she's put together with meticulous attention to detail.
** [[Eros Incorporated|Eros Inc.]] is her favorite fashion company.
* Sua is far less likely to be bothered by personal setbacks compared to most other characters.
** This is due to her inherently carefree lifestyle and personality traits as well.

Sun Wukong II

2024-07-03T02:15:28Z

Magister:

[[File:Sun - 6.jpg|thumb|579x579px|''"The essence of efficiency is concentration. The essence of concentration is willpower. From willpower stems the core of all achievement."'']]
'''Sun Wukong II''' is a '''Demi-Being''' and the "son" of the fabled Monkey King of Legend. He lives in [[Sanctuary City]] and works as an auto mechanic for his cover. He is also the older brother of [[Sua Wukong]].

== Synopsis ==
The firstborn "son" of the famous Sun Wukong - the archetypical Chinese trickster deity of legend; Sun Wukong II was almost immediately abandoned from birth.

Created through a replicated magical process similar to Wukong's own creation, Sun was later sent from [[The Aether]] - and down to Earth. His purpose would be to serve as a perpetual decoy for his father's enemies - and nothing more.

Fulfilling his purpose as a beacon of attention - The Monkey King quickly left the young baby in the care of a legendary Martial Arts master living in Hawaii named [[Gaihou]]. The martial arts master would then take Sun in as his own kin - and train him in martial arts.

As the years passed by, Sun's natural senses continued to expand at a drastic rate. Very quickly, he came to understand the nature of his own abilities, as well as his unique magical essence. Using these abilities, he then traced back a set of elaborate, hidden clues left by his true father - bringing him towards an enchanted wellspring - which transported him to [[Throat of the World|a hidden sky palace]]. Having reached the supernatural structure, Sun was then met with his inheritance, as The Monkey King's son. Although given more than Earthly desires could ever imagine, Sun's heart only became more clouded, filled by resentment and anger towards the abandonment felt in his father's wake. That ire only increased, after coming into contact with the [[Isaac Meisner|Sorcerer Supreme]] - who revealed the truth of his father's plan to him.

Eventually, Sun would encounter another Demi-Being named [[Ifrit]] - helping to free the human being inside, allowing them control over their transformation.<ref name=":0">"Journey"</ref> He would once more be visited by the Sorcerer Supreme - and given an important task involving the [[Thaumians]].<ref name=":0" /> He would then be tasked with finding his sister, Sua, in a bid to aid in his new task. Afterwards, Sun would later confront his responsibilities to his adopted father - ultimately deciding to take up his position regarding Ki and Martial Arts.<ref name=":0" />

Later, Sun would encounter a [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|certain vigilante]] in Sanctuary City - being surprised by their capacity to rapidly mimic his own abilities and skills. After a brief test, Sun would later advise them on the nature of their powers - before parting ways.<ref>"Turf Wars" [Part 0 - Prologue]</ref>

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Demi-Being Physiology ===
As the son of The Monkey King, and the pre-ordained "Monkey Prince", Sun is a being of substantial magical power.

Created from a mystical stone similar to his father - Sun was further merged with the conceptual essence of a man. In doing so he became a "Demi-Being" - a magical being who is both supernatural and mortal in nature.

Formed from the essence of his father, Sun exhibits most of the same physical characteristics and traits of The Monkey King - but with a more human appearance to compliment his "half-mortal" nature.

Sun also has a prehensile tail, due to being a supernatural monkey-like being similar to his father, The Monkey King of Legend.

=== "Monkey King" Traits ===
As a Demi-Being constructed with the essence of his father, Sun demonstrates specific abilities unique to his "family" line.

=== Magic ===
Sun has some basic instruction in the mystic arts, due to the basic scrolls and tomes left to him by his father. However, Sun utilizes his own magical energies to cast these spells - making their usage rare in most occasions.

== Items & Techniques ==

=== Ruyi Jingu Bang ===
A magical replica of the legendary staff of The Monkey King. Much like the original staff, Sun's Ruyi Jingu Bang staff can alter its size to virtually any degree.

The staff also has a magical connection to Sun, responding to his mental commands. Because of this, Sun can recall the staff to his side at will. The staff will also duplicate itself alongside Sun during a cloning if necessary.

=== Phoenix Crown ===
A mystical artifact bestowed to Sun by The Monkey King. The Crown reinforces Sun's mind, protecting it from basic mental attacks on his conscious and memories. It also reinforces his mental state, strengthening his resolve against even the most seemingly insurmountable of odds. The Crown can also generate an aura of mental peace and clarity around Sun, easing his allies and slowly pushing against the mental resolve of his opponents.

=== Warrior Wraps ===
The mystical linen wraps that form Sun's gloves in his combat attire. The gloves increase Sun's general dexterity, allowing his fingers and hands to act on instinct.

=== Binding Beads ===
An artifact left to him by his father. The beads combine with the wraps on Sun's hands to form his gloves. The beads themselves have the ability to absorb kinetic energy and store it for later use - amplifying his powers even further.

=== "Monkey Style" Martial Arts ===
Due to his training with his adopted father Gaihou, Sun is proficient at the "Monkey Style" of specialized Ki Martial Arts. The Monkey Style involves quick movements, constant mobility and general agility. It utilizes momentum carried from movements in order to build up strength through striking power.

=== Sinou Grains ===
Magical beans capable of healing any injury.

=== Instantaneous Transmission ===
A movement technique inherent to Sun. By using his magical power, Sun can transport himself across Space-Time instantaneously.

With increased power, this ability can potentially be used to move through time - as long as a reference point is first established in the past.

== Notes ==

* Sun originally had a proficiency for Ki - however, that was later given to his sister; creating a contrast in their approaches to combat.
* He was originally supposed to be designed as an alien from another planet - though that was later changed in favor of a mystical approach.
* Sun is a very accomplished chef. He even wants to open his own restaurant eventually.
* Sun is an avid racing fan - and loves Formula One racing, much like another [[Marek Grayson|adrenaline seeker]].
* Sun was heavily inspired by [[Strike Eagle]] - an older Meta-Human hero from decades prior.
** Mainly, he was inspired by his fighting style, being more refined and focused compared to that of other heroes.
** He was also a fan of Strike Eagle's choice of transportation - a modified experimental hovercraft racing vehicle.

Aiden Grayson (Earth-1)

2024-07-03T02:09:54Z

Magister:

{{disambig3|Aiden Grayson}}{{Infobox person|image=Magister - 53.jpg|birth_date=April 4th, 1996|birth_name="Aiden Ethan Grayson"|birth_place=[[wikipedia:New York City|New York City,]] [[wikipedia:New York|New York,]] [[wikipedia:United States|USA]]|caption=All business and no fun - the Archetypal Sorcerer Supreme|family=Grayson Family|honorific_suffix=[[Sorcerer Supreme|"Magisterus Praeceptorus Lacertus" - The Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-1]]|occupation=[[Sorcerer Supreme|Sorcerer Supreme]]|other_names=Magister {{!}} Magisterus|parents=[[Silas Grayson (Earth-1)|Silas Grayson]] (father), [[Emily Weber (Earth-1)|Emily Weber]] (mother)|partner=[[Stephanie Beaufort (Earth-4)|Stephanie Beaufort]]|relatives=[[Phoebe Grayson (Earth-1)|Persephone Grayson]] (sister), [[Jonah Grayson (Earth-1)|Jonah Grayson]] (brother)|years_active="2010-"}}
'''Aiden Ethan Grayson''' is the [[Sorcerer Supreme]] of the universe designated as "Earth-1" in the larger multiverse. His official title is '''"Magisterus Praeceptorus Lacertus"''' ("Teacher of Power"), which simplifies to '''"Magister"'''. He is also the CEO of Archeon Incorporated in his world, similar to his [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|Mainline Counterpart]].

== Summary ==
Magister is one of the few beings in the multiverse to be born as an [[Astral]], a being attuned to the higher cosmos. Though unaware of this fact for most of his life, Magister does carry within him a latent ability to perceive and interact with the fabric of reality - an ability that eventually guided him towards the [[Crystal]] of Earth-1, ultimately leading him to become the Sorcerer Supreme of his universe.

Although not as well versed in the trappings of Sorcerer Supreme work, relative to that of his original teacher - [[Lisa Dawkins (Earth-6)|Igestis]], Magister still maintains an incredibly efficient work ethic - in an attempt to live up to the examples set before him.

Early on in Aiden's career, as he first began his training to become Sorcerer Supreme, he was eventually taught by his main [[Lisa Dawkins (Earth-6)|mentor]] - with "esoteric" methods according to his recollection.

Regardless of their intent, the actions of Igestis would quickly form an emotional rift between her and Magister - further straining their relationship years later.

Even with this emotional baggage, Magister contined to study - and eventually became the Sorcerer Supreme of his universe.<ref name=":1">"Iocosus Magicus"</ref>

Magister also has a somewhat strained relationship with his family, due to the nature of his work as Sorcerer Supreme.<ref name=":0">"Contiguity"</ref>
== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Conceptual Power Absorption ===
As the Incarnation of the [[Power IsoMatrix]] on Earth-1, Magister has the ability to absorb the conceptual power and essence of any object with a touch.

=== Magic ===
As the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-1, Magister is imbued with an unfathomable and virtually infinite degree of magical energy - similar to other Sorcerers Supreme.

Due to this infusion of self-perpetuating energy, Magister is capable of magical feats with a near-unlimited degree of scale and complexity.

=== Skills ===
As Sorcerer Supreme, Magister is uniquely trained in various disciplines, much like his peers.

Due to his years of training under the tutelage of various Gods and Sorcerers Supreme such as Igestis, he has demonstrated various skills over his years of work.

== Notes ==

* Magister has two-toned hair, both black and white.
** His natural hair color is black, but partially turned white after preemptively absorbing the magical energies of the Sanctum's Crystal.
* Magister is in his early 20s, though his age hasn't been stated to most.
** He started his Sorcerer Supreme training at around age 15 with the Greek Titan Prometheus and the Egyptian God [[Thoth]].
*** His advanced training began with [[Lisa Dawkins (Earth-6)|Igestis]], when he was 18 years old.
* Magister's favorite food is deep dish pizza with mostly meat and vegetable toppings. He doesn't like mushrooms. Though he does love black olives and green peppers.
* Magister's favorite Deity is Prometheus - due to his sense of daring and defiance, as well as his willingness to risk the wrath of the Greek Pantheon for the sake of humanity as mortal beings.
* Magister is currently the most powerful version of Aiden Grayson
** This is due to his nature as an Astral, in addition to his status as Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-1.
* Magister's favorite instrument is the Electric Guitar.
** His favorite genre of music is Industrial Rock, much like his [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|Mainline Counterpart]].
* Prometheus was the first person to inquire about Magister's unique Astral nature, surprising him, as no one outside of his family was aware of that fact.
* Magister spends most of his time in his Sanctum's Library - The "Locus Scientia" ("Place of Knowledge").
* Magister generally is the most serious of the Sorcerers Supreme during field work.
** This is due to the cynicism he developed after being "manipulated" by Igestis during her training.
*** He may or may not have continued to "see" his mentor for a few years.

Magister:

[[File:Chase - 16.jpg|thumb|477x477px|''"I have a few suspicions, but we can't act without cause. Due process of law exists, remember? Not for you though, clearly."'']]
'''Chase Abraham McIntyre''' is a [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]], and the Lead Director of the [[Meta-Human Response Division]] (MRD) of the United States. He is internally referred to as '''Mobius''' by the MRD in classified documentation - a reference to his origins.

== Synopsis ==
Chase is the first and only child of Carter and Rebecca McIntyre, a pair of business executives with a local business in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Initially, he was a delinquent teenager - regularly getting into fights and building up a habit for thievery. This tendency was shared with his younger brother - [[Vincent McIntyre|Vincent]].

Eventually, Chase set himself on a better path and willingly allowed himself to go through the local probationary system. It was there that his Meta-Human powers manifested, and he was referred to the MRD.

After over a decade of work, he eventually accelerated his progress and reached the level of lieutenant within the organization.

It was his quick thinking in response to the MRD's Biophage Crisis that gained him the recommendation to become the next MRD Director.

Now as the current director of the MRD - Chase is responsible for all of their national operations.

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Distortion [Latent] ===
Chase's initial ability involved the passive manipulation of his surroundings - in a manner equivalent to "good luck".

This allowed Chase to sidestep bad situations and avoid threats as they occurred.

=== Dynamic Power Manifestation [Current] ===
Chase's true power is the ability to manifest specific abilities pertaining to the situation that he is in.

He can generally manifest around 5 - 10 abilities at once, depending on their relative strength and efficacy.

Examples of manifested abilities include:

* [https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Telepathy Telepathy] - Chase is an extremely powerful telepath. Although not at the level of someone like [[Orion Thompson (Earth-0)|Orion]] at his peak, he's still incredibly formidable.

* [https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Energy_Manipulation Energy Manipulation] - Chase can generate, manipulate and absorb massive quantities of energy, in various forms. His preference is kinetic energy.
* [https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Matter_Manipulation Matter Manipulation] - As with energy, Chase can generate, manipulate and absorb matter at high levels of efficiency. This is one of his preferred powers,
* [https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Regenerative_Healing_Factor Healing Factor] - Chase has the ability to rapidly heal himself of any conventional damage within seconds. However, he can be overpowered by a sufficiently powerful energy source.

== Notes ==

* Chase is the youngest MRD Director in history due to his handling of the Biophage Crisis - an internal MRD containment breach involving mutated Meta-Humans.
* His best friend is [[Ryan Soule|Dynamo]] - the former Commander of Sanctuary City.
* Chase's other friend is [[Diana Armstrong|Valkyrie]] - the current MRD Commander of the Sanctuary City branch.
** Valkyrie, or Diana, has known Chase for nearly as long as Dynamo has.
** She also has a very clear crush on Chase - which [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone can see].

* Chase generally wears sunglasses, even indoors and at night.
** This is because his eyes are highly sensitive to light.
* Chase has an amicable relationship with [[Miranda Grayson|Dr. Miranda Grayson]].
** Miranda also has some feelings for Chase, but is much better about hiding them.
* Chase's favorite food is hamburgers, a statement that he himself agrees is rather predictable.

He is also the son of [[Silas Grayson]]. Jonah currently lives in [[Haven City]]. He is also the Meta-Human vigilante known as '''Scalar'''.
== Summary ==
=== Prior History ===
Jonah has a history similar to that of his siblings - with the only difference being his path of education. Jonah chose academia after their move to the West Coast.

Due to his supernatural intelligence and other cognitive abilities - Jonah quickly became seen as a bonafide prodigy.

By the time he reached his early 20s, Jonah had obtained various PhDs in various fields.

During his brief stint in secondary school - Jonah befriended a girl named [[Elizabeth Cardigan (Earth-0)|Elizabeth Cardigan]], and was incredibly kind to her as her classmate.

He would then gradually begin to develop feelings for Elizabeth, but never acted on them.

Eventually, he would find himself in his post graduate programs, working to complete his Doctorate degrees.

=== Scalar ===
Eventually, Jonah would be recruited by [[Sanctuary City|Sanctuary City's]] local government to aid in a joint venture research project with the [[New Science Initiative]].

Unfortunately, the project's main experiment went awry, with the particle accelerator malfunctioning - causing a distortion in space-time to appear. A bright golden bolt of energy then struck Jonah - knocking him unconscious.

After he awoke, Jonah learned that he had developed the ability to move at unfathomable speeds. Recognizing the familiar nature of Jonah's new abilities, Phoebe called her close friend [[Lisa Dawkins (disambiguation)|Lisa Dawkins]] to investigate.

According to Lisa, the experiment had turned Jonah into a Para-Human with similar abilities to her. Jonah had become a [[Speedster]] with a connection to the [[Speedster|same power source as Lisa]]. Soon afterwards, Jonah then began training with Lisa to hone his new abilities. He then became the vigilante known as Scalar.

As Scalar, Jonah has helped Aiden and Phoebe in their investigation of [[Elias Grayson|Chiral's]] old laboratories hidden around the United States, and even encountered old cloning test subjects, such as [[Champion]] - whom he swiftly defeated.<ref>"Terminal Velocity"</ref>

He also aided Mosaic and Hyperia in their takedown of Chiral - before the latter was transferred to [[The Wedge]].<ref>"Riposte"</ref>

=== Current Activities ===
Jonah is currently operating as the Chief Financial Officer of [[Archeon Incorporated]] - while working out of the Haven City branch of the company.

He also regularly operates as Scalar - attempting to help people however he can.[[File:Scalar - 2.jpg|thumb|Scalar Costume]]
== Powers & Abilities ==

=== IsoForm Nature ===
Unlike his siblings, Jonah is an [[IsoForm]] - and not an IsoMatrix. Because of this, he instead mimics the structure of IsoMatrix agents - manifesting a small portion of their immense powers.

This IsoForm mimicry grants him a collection of abilities, including:

=== Mosaic DNA ===
Much like his siblings and his father, Jonah is capable of sequencing and re-sequencing his DNA without any tangible limit.

While not automatic like Aiden's variant - Jonah has the ability to manually control what genetic components he mimics.

==== Perceptive Mimicry ====
The result of Jonah's IsoForm nature working in synergy with his Mosaic DNA.

Jonah has the ability to mimic the Meta-Gene sequences of any Meta-Human, whose ability he can visually observe and understand.

=== Speedster Conduit ===
As an IsoForm, Jonah can tap into the same extra-dimensional energies that empower [[Lisa Dawkins (Earth-0)|Lisa Dawkins]].

An experiment involving a particle accelerator catalyzed the process, imbuing Jonah with a series of speed and motion-based powers.

== Notes ==

* Jonah has multiple PhDs due to his hyper-intelligence, familial connections and general penchant for learning and studying.
* Jonah has a romantic attraction to one of his old schoolmates - Elisabet Maria Isolde Valentina Victoria Luciana Sofía Valérie Cardigan y Flores
** He once impressed her by immediately remembering her full name after it was recited to him - without error.
** Jonah is entirely unaware of the fact that Elizabeth is madly in love with him, a situation that leads his sister Phoebe to comment on how dense he can be at times.
* Jonah's favorite food is spaghetti with marinara sauce and meatballs.
* Jonah loves reading, as it's his favorite hobby.
** He's read more books than are available in most public libraries.
*** As such, his father Silas constructed a personal study for him, filled with large shelves of books for him to constantly read at home.
* Jonah is incredibly polite under all circumstances, to the point of surprising people.
** He rarely ever gets mad under most circumstances - having a much more positive outlook in life compared to most, even his own family.
* Jonah's vernacular is a point of contention with his friends and family, as he appears "needlessly verbose" with regards to his standard dialect.
* Prior to his Speedster transformation, Jonah was the most out-of-shape of the triplets, though not by much.
** However, after gaining his powers, his physique has come to match that of his siblings in terms of fitness and toned muscles.
* Jonah's costume ring which contains his suit, is directly inspired by that of his mentor, Lisa Dawkins - who also goes by Speedrunner.
** Jonah had a slight crush on Lisa when he first met her, though it quickly faded.
* Jonah has an amicable opinion of Orion, viewing him more as a clumsy worker, but a genuinely well-meaning person.
* Jonah's middle name, Isaiah, comes from his great-grandfather, Isaiah Grayson.
** Jonah's penchant for reading is supposedly similar to that of Isaiah's as well.
* Jonah is a TV enthusiast, and is very familiar with most modern television programs that aired in the late 20th century, as well as those currently airing in the 21st century.

{{Stub}}
{{Infobox person|birth_date=April 4th, 1996|birth_name="Phoebe Amanda Grayson"|birth_place=[[wikipedia:New York City|New York City,]] [[wikipedia:New York|New York,]] [[wikipedia:United States|USA]]|caption=The self-proclaimed "Category 5 Storm".|family=Grayson Family|image=Phoebe - 2.jpg|nationality=American|other_names=Hyperia|parents=[[Silas Grayson (Earth-0)|Silas Grayson]] (father), [[Emily Weber (Earth-0)|Emily Weber]] (mother)|partner=[[Samael Thaumiel]]|relatives=[[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|Aiden Grayson]] (sister), [[Jonah Grayson (Earth-0)|Jonah Grayson]] (brother), [[Kira Grayson (Earth-0)|Kira Grayson]] (sister), [[Jason Grayson (Earth-0)|Jason Grayson]] (brother),|years_active="2012-"}}

'''Phoebe Amanda Grayson''' is a [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] living in [[Paradise City]]. She is the sister of both [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|Aiden Grayson]] and [[Jonah Grayson (Earth-0)|Jonah Grayson]]. Much like her brothers, she is also a vigilante known as '''Hyperia.'''
== Summary ==

=== Prior History ===
Phoebe had a life similar to that of her brothers' - with the only deviation being her decision to pursue a law degree. Much like her brothers, Phoebe's innate abilities granted her an exceptional mind, quickly allowing her to ace her studies and become a lawyer in her early 20s.

Unlike her brothers, Phoebe also runs an entirely separate business - [[Eros Incorporated]].<ref>"Terminal Velocity"</ref> Eros is one of the largest clothes designing and manufacturing companies on the planet, demanding most of Phoebe's attention to properly run.

Phoebe also has a close relationship to [[Lisa Dawkins (Earth-0)|Lisa Dawkins]], one of her closest friends and confidants. They are both also aware of each other's identities as the vigilantes '''Hyperia''' and '''Speedrunner'''.

As Hyperia, Phoebe has contested with Meta-Humans such as [[Titanomachia]], eventually disarming her and showing her a path towards rehabilitation of her image as a reformed supervillain.<ref>"Sound and Fury"</ref>

== Powers & Abilities ==

=== Emotion Matrix ===
As the Incarnation of the [[Emotion IsoMatrix]] - Phoebe has the innate ability to convert her emotions into raw energy and power. Through this ability, she can generate massive quantities of energy - which can be utilized in different ways.

Phoebe can take the emotional energy she generates and convert it into other forms of energy - to generate different physical effects.

=== Mosaic DNA ===
[[File:Nu!Hyperia.jpg|thumb|Hyperia Costume]]
Much like her brothers, Phoebe has a unique genome that can re-sequence itself in a variety of ways.

However, Phoebe's unique Emotion Energy powers have had an impact on how her genomic re-sequencing operates.

This synergy has led to to a series of permanent metabolic changes in Phoebe's body - granting her various abilities.

==== Empathic Mimicry ====
Due to the combination of her Emotion Matrix and Mosaic DNA, Phoebe is capable of a specific variant of mimicry, limited to emotional connections.

A strong emotional bond with a person will allow Phoebe's Mosaic DNA to permanently mimic their abilities - so long as the emotional connection is strong and genuine.

Her only known instance of this is:

* [[Psionics]]
** Gained from [[Orion Thompson (Earth-0)|Orion Thompson]] (due to her initial feelings for him. Muted and slowly weakening in efficacy, nearly a year after their break up)

== Notes ==

* Phoebe has a ''strong'' sense of moral standing, refusing to engage in any degree of manipulation or strongarming of any kind.
** Part of this stems from her sheer dislike of her [[Miranda Grayson|cousin]] - who she sees as morally bankrupt and lacking in principles.
* While originally taking a liking to Orion Thompson due to his physical attractiveness, Phoebe later called it quits after a few months.
* Phoebe is infamous for her dislike of sugary and processed foods, showing a disdain for most sugary sweets and candies.
** Phoebe constantly tries to convince her friend Lisa to switch to healthy meals for this reason.
* Phoebe is a skilled cook, and is far better than both of her brothers.
* Phoebe's middle name, "Amanda", comes from her late paternal grandmother - Amanda Grayson.
* Phoebe actually wore glasses as a kid at first - due to her inability to control the depth perception and light warping of her eyes; a side effect of her powers.
** She kept this habit by instead wearing sunglasses most of the time - even indoors or at night, as her powers allow her to easily compensate for the effects.
* Phoebe wears a brunette wig in her civilian identity.
* Despite being arguably the wealthiest of the triplets - Phoebe refrains from spending money unless absolutely necessary.
** She was given more control over the family's finances by her father, Silas, for this reason.
* Phoebe technically owns a law firm that she can practice in - however she has not practiced formally in years due to Eros Incorporated taking most of her time and effort to run.
** Instead, her law partner and fellow attorney Deliah Soule - operates in her place.
*** Deliah is a friend she made in college and went to law school with, before initially starting a firm together.
* Phoebe has a ''substantial'' distrust of [[Lisa Lovegate]], a practicing attorney at a competing firm.
** This is due to rumors about Lovegate's alleged inappropriate behavior and promiscuity - used to gain her top position at the law firm.

Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)

2024-07-03T01:42:29Z

Magister:

{{Stub}}
{{disambig3|Aiden Grayson}}{{Infobox person|birth_date=April 4th, 1996|birth_name="Aiden Ethan Grayson"|birth_place=[[wikipedia:New York City|New York City,]] [[wikipedia:New York|New York,]] [[wikipedia:United States|USA]]|caption="Snow White", as Phoebe calls him.|family=Grayson Family|image=Aiden - 48.jpg|nationality=American|other_names=Mosaic|relatives=[[Phoebe Grayson (Earth-0)|Phoebe Grayson]] (sister), [[Jonah Grayson (Earth-0)|Jonah Grayson]] (brother), [[Kira Grayson (Earth-0)|Kira Grayson]] (sister), [[Jason Grayson (Earth-0)|Jason Grayson]] (brother),|parents=[[Silas Grayson (Earth-0)|Silas Grayson]] (father), [[Emily Weber (Earth-0)|Emily Weber]] (mother)|years_active="2016-"|partner=[[Stella Bray-Grayson]]}}[[File:True!Mosaic.jpg|thumb|Mosaic Costume]]
'''Aiden Ethan Grayson''' is a [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] | [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] hybrid, and [[Magicians|Magician]] - currently living in [[Sanctuary City]]. He is the CEO of [[Archeon Incorporated]] and the son of its founder, [[Silas Grayson]]. His vigilante identity is known as '''Mosaic''', (formerly '''Gradient''').

== Summary ==

=== Early Life ===
Born in New York City, Aiden is the son of Dr. Silas Grayson - a researcher and entrepreneur. Despite his public origins, Aiden is a genetically engineered human. He was created through the genomic research done by his grandfather - [[Dr. Amadeus Grayson]].

Aiden lived a relatively normal life for most of his early childhood, though later on in his life Aiden was forced to move to the West Coast after an attack on New York City.

He would then spend the next decade of his life improving his own skills and knowledge base - before eventually pursuing a degree in medicine.

=== Mosaic ===
After graduating with his M.D., Aiden was then called by his father with a surprising request - to succeed him as CEO of Archeon.

Soon after he moved to Sanctuary City and assumed his position as Archeon's CEO, Aiden began hearing offhand rumors surrounding missing Meta-Humans.

In addition to the disappearances, criminal groups started to increase their activity around the city.

As part of an effort to make a difference, Aiden decided to become a vigilante of sorts - using his powers to help people whenever he could.

After preparing himself, Aiden then became the vigilante '''Gradient.'''

Later, he changed his name to '''Mosaic''' - after he fully manifested his powers.

== Powers ==

=== Power Matrix ===
As the [[Earth-0|Prime Universe]] incarnation of the [[Power IsoMatrix]], Aiden has various abilities related to "Power" - the ability to "do" anything.

He can amplify his own abilities or reproduce the abilities of others that he encounters - seemingly without limit.

Aiden's strength was also great enough to even overwhelm his sister's, during their first real fight.<ref name=":0" />

=== Mosaic DNA ===
Like his father and siblings, Aiden has a unique blend of DNA known as '''Mosaic DNA''' - the result of his latent "Power" based abilities.

The structure of Mosaic DNA allows Aiden to instantaneously re-sequence his DNA, allowing him to permanently mimic Meta-Gene abilities.

=== Psionics ===
Due to his nature, Aiden has high levels of psionic power - making him adept at [[psionics]].

=== Dynamic Mimicry ===
The combination of Aiden's Power Matrix and his Mosaic DNA allows him to mimic the powers of beings who aren't Meta-Humans.

Examples include:

* '''Demi-Being Physiology'''
** Mimicked from [[Sun Wukong II]] - after fighting him in Sanctuary City.<ref name=":3">"Turf Wars" - [Part 0 - Prologue]</ref>
* '''Dimensional Conduit'''
** Mimicked from [[Julian Gray]] - after fighting him at the Seychelles Islands.<ref name=":6">"Shatter Point"</ref>
* '''Divine Conduit'''
** Mimicked from [[Jack Blackburn]] - after encountering his reformed and inverted self in Sanctuary City.<ref name=":7">"Reconciliation"</ref>
* '''Thulcandran''' | '''Chonarch Physiology'''
** Mimicked from [[Samael Thaumiel]] - after encountering him during his visit to the Archeon Complex as "Virgil".<ref name=":0">"Synergies"</ref>

== Equipment ==

=== Thaumaturgy Ring ===
After being severely weakened in his battle with Faust, [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-1)|Magister]] provided Aiden support in the form of the Thaumaturgy Ring.<ref name=":2">"Dysfunction" - [Part 2]</ref>

=== Thaumaturgy Armor ===
Mosaic's current armor is a fusion of both his original tech outfit and the magitek he later acquired.

== Skills ==

=== Magic ===
As a result of his training with his alternate universe counterpart, Aiden has enough magical power to become a [[Magicians|Magician]].

While nowhere near as proficient as a [[Sorcerers Supreme|Sorcerer Supreme]], Mosaic is still incredibly powerful, and capable of various magical feats through spell casting.

Aiden has a tendency to use passive spells in combat, such as energy shielding.

He also occasionally relies on utility spells, such as astral projection - if he needs to perform reconnaissance.

=== Combat Training ===
Partially due to his abilities, Aiden is a master of close quarters combat or CQC.

He also has knowledge of various forms of martial arts - due to his ability to travel the world and learn from various combat instructors.

=== Engineering Training ===
A result of his psionic knowledge absorption - Aiden has a robust reserve of engineering knowledge and skill.

Aiden is an expert mechanic and engineer by experience - but not through formal training. He has worked to repair various forms of sophisticated machinery.

=== Physician Training ===
Although not having completed residency fully - Aiden is an accomplished medical physician with an early M.D. in the field.

He also has experience with surgery and differential diagnosis assessments of patients.

Should he ever need to treat a person of their illnesses - he can so that rather effectively.

== Notes ==

* Aiden's favorite genre of music is Industrial Rock, much like his [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-1)|Sorcerer Supreme Counterpart]].
** Aiden's hair was originally midnight black - only becoming white due to prolonged exposure to [[Magic]].
** He also now regularly wears black sunglasses - slowly becoming a mirror image of his magical counterpart.
* Aiden's favorite food is pizza, though generally without many toppings.
* Aiden has experience with multiple forms of martial arts combat.
* Aiden had an obvious attraction to [[Hiyuki Hoyokazi (disambiguation)|Hiyuki Hoyokazi]] that everyone is aware of.
** This mirrors the dynamic that Aiden's [[Silas Grayson|father]] had with Hiyuki's [[Katsumi Hoyokazi|mother]] - before they had a falling out due to personal differences.

Akito Tasogare

2024-05-19T05:20:46Z

Magister:

'''Akito Tasogare''' is a [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] | [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] hybrid - currently living in Kyoto, Japan. He is the head of the [[Tasogare]] family and CEO of the [[Seishin Corporation]].

{{Infobox person|birth_date=May 5th, 1996|birth_name="Akito Tasogare"|birth_place=Kyoto, Japan|caption=Yes, he's aware of the eyeliner.|family=Tasogare family|nationality=Japanese|parents=[[Hiruzen Tasogare|Hiruzen Tasogare]] (father), [[Sakura Tasogare|Sakura Tasogare]] (mother)|relatives=[[Asami Tasogare|Asami Tasogare]] (sister) [[Hanabi Tasogare|Hanabi Tasogare]] (half-sister) [[Hitomi Tasogare|Hitomi Tasogare]] (half-sister)|image=Akito - 2.jpg}}

As both the current wielder of the [[Eien no Yoru]], and the human host of the magical God known as [[Kurai]] - Akito is also known as '''Kagemusha -''' the leader of the [[Shadows]].

== Summary ==

=== Early Life ===
Akito was born to Hiruzen and Sakura Tasogare - the former leaders of the Tasogare family in Japan. As the first born son and successor to the mantle of Kagemusha, Hiruzen ensured that Akito would proceed with the transference ritual as a child.

Through the ritual, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade was transferred to Akito - along with the malevolent [[Kurai|consciousness]] harbored within. Eventually, his father passed away after succumbing to injuries from an assassination attempt - with his mother having already left earlier in his life due to unknown reasons.

As a teenager, Akito was then burdened with the responsibility of leading the Tasogare family to prominence. To that end, he devised a plan to systematically weaken and destroy their main enemies - the [[Hoyokazi Family|Hoyokazi]] family.

=== Kagemusha ===
After reaching young adulthood at the age of 18, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade would slowly start to influence Akito's mind - compelling him to engage in greater displays of force and strength towards his goal.

To that end, he began to commune with the spirit of the God-like being contained within the blade. The spirit would then begin instructing Akito on how to master his innate abilities, while also instructing him in the art of swordsmanship.

Once his training was complete, Akito would then become the new Kagemusha. He then assumed full command of the Shadows; a supernatural shinobi force that enforces the will of the Tasogare family.

=== Current Events ===
As Kagemusha, Akito is now attempting to weaken the Hoyokazi family - enough to either destroy their power structure or absorb them into the fold of the Tasogare family.
[[File:Kagemusha.png|thumb|577x577px|Kagemusha]]
Whether he is successful or not, is dependent on his own capacity to control his mind - should it otherwise be subsumed by the Eien no Yoru blade's malevolent intent.

After a brief encounter with [[Ryozo Hoyokazi]], Akito has declared him an enemy of the Tasogare family.<ref name=":0" />

Later, after Asami and Hanabi encountered [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|one of Sanctuary City's greatest vigilantes]] - their forced retreat convinced Akito to shift the Tasogare family's efforts towards recruiting strong fighters in the West.<ref>"Contiguity"</ref>

All of this was done with the hopes of building up an army capable of destroying the Hoyokazi family in one fell swoop.

Currently, Akito plans a two-pronged assault against both the Hoyokazis in Japan, and the vigilantes in the West.

Having defeated Ouranos and taken control of the Eukaryon organization<ref name=":1">"Midnight Blade, Shining Light"</ref>, Akito has redoubled his efforts to confront his family's enemies, all in the hopes of fulfilling his purpose.

== Powers ==

=== Meta-Gene ===
Akito has a Meta-Gene that grants him substantial energy manipulation abilities. He can passively absorb ambient energy in his surroundings, storing it and channeling back in various ways.

He can also passively generate enormous amounts of energy - to allowing him to gradually and systematically alter his own physiology, strengthening it over the course of a decade.

His cellular structure is also reinforced by this ability, constantly saturated with energy to prolong his own longevity as a human.

=== Magic ===
As the wielder of the Eien no Yoru and the other half of Kurai - Akito is capable of utilizing the forces of [[Magic]] to an immense degree.

Initially, Akito's usage of magic was relegated to basic amplification of his physical traits - much like the rest of his family.

However, due to his encounter with [[Selathiel Thaumiel|Ouranos]], Akito replicated his magical knowledge and gained the ability to become a master sorcerer.<ref name=":1" />

Due to this increase in knowledge, Akito can now cast spells as efficiently as any skilled magician or sorcerer can.

Examples of magic spells cast by Akito include:

* Force Fields
* Telepathy
* Telekinesis
* Elemental Manipulation
* Mystical Sealing | Banishment
* Astral Projection
* Phasing | Intangibility
* Summoning
* Mystic Bolts
* Transmutation
* Shapeshifting

=== Shadow Arts ===
As a Tasogare and as Kagemusha, Akito has access to four unique [[Shadow Arts]] - magical techniques and abilities that are inherent to members of the Tasogare family.

==== #1 - Altar ====
A cumulative Shadow Art first bestowed upon the original Kagemusha by Kurai. It is inherited by all future Kagemusha after him by design.

Altar is a stockpiling Shadow Art that absorbs the Shadow Arts of all members of the Tasogare family after they die.

Because of this, Akito has the combined abilities of all his ancestors.

Altar's purpose is to gradually stockpile power in order to help aid Kurai in the replenishment of his magical power.

As of his merger with Akito, Kurai is close to fully releasing his true strength - due to this Shadow Art and the cumulative Shadow Arts that it has stockpiled up until the modern era.

==== #2 - Fissure ====
The Shadow Art inherited from the Eien no Yoru blade itself.

A spatial slash attack that generates magical energy that is refined to the point of being able to cut through the fabric of space-time itself.

The attack bypasses virtually all defenses unless they are supernaturally reinforced.

With enough time, Akito can refine the energy output of the attack to cut through even the most reinforced of defenses.

===== Time Travel =====
Through the power of the Fissure Shadow Art, Akito can slice through the fabric of space-time itself, exiting the space-time continuum.

This allows Akito the ability to freely travel through time, albeit in a chaotic manner.

==== #3 - Expanse ====
Akito's innate Shadow Art.

This magical ability allows Akito to directly the fabric of space-time itself - potentially to a nigh-absolute degree.

===== Space Manipulation =====
Akito's primary usage of Expanse is the direct alteration of space itself.

Akito can use this ability to create vacuums that pull his surroundings in, or spatial expansions that push his surroundings out like an explosion of force.

By combining these techniques with his punches and kicks, he can drastically increase his striking force through spatial amplification.

A more advanced application of this technique involves the creation of spatial barriers that stop objects from physically touching Akito by infinitely dividing space around him.

Pocket dimensions can also be created by Akito through this technique.

He can also instantaneously teleport both himself and others with this technique - without a range limit.

===== Time Manipulation =====
Another application of Akito's Expanse Shadow Art is the ability to alter the flow of time relative to himself and others in his environment.

He can create localized spatial-temporal "spheres" to alter the relative movement of time around his targets - either freezing them in stasis or rapidly accelerating them. He can also loop them within a range of time.

Akito can also drag time to a near halt around him - effectively stopping time if he chooses to.

==== #4 - Shadow Beasts ====
The final Shadow Art, an inherited technique passed down from generations of Tasogare leaders.

The ability allows Akito to summon twelve magical creatures through a mass of shadows that he creates.

===== Eien no Akuma =====
The most dangerous of the Shadow Beasts is Eien no Akuma, or simply Akuma - The Demon of Eternity.

Akuma has the ability to gradually mimic the properties and characteristics of whatever it is attacked by.

The mimicry process is prolonged, however, and takes several minutes to fully activate.

=== Seishin Shiryoku ===
The Seishin Shiryoku (Spirit Sight) is the name given to Akito's supernatural and magic-based eyes, created through the use of a [[Sacrificial Pact]] by his mother, Sakura.

From the pact, Akito gained supernatural vision - allowing him to perceive ghosts, spirits and other forms of non-physical and non-corporeal phenomena.

He can also perceive objects at a distance with telescopic accuracy - along with objects up close through microscopic precision. He can see in different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum as well.

Furthermore, Akito can even see the path of magical forces and magical energies as they occur around him, allowing him to trace supernatural phenomena and predict said phenomena before they occur.

Similar to Ryozo Hoyokazi's [[Chakra]] eyes, Akito also has the ability to replicate the physical motions of those that he directly observes in an instant.

In addition, Akito's energy efficiency is pushed to its absolute limit due to this ability - making him virtually impossible to wear out in a fight.

This improved efficiency, combined with his inherent energy generation, give him virtually infinite stamina.

== Equipment ==

=== Eien no Yoru ===
The Tasogare family sword, also known as '''Eternal Night'''. It is the source of the Tasogare family's magical powers - such as Shadow Arts and Sacrificial Pacts. It also houses the spirit of the magical god-like being known as Kurai.

The sword contains Kurai's will, and magically binds itself to its user - who is usually the head of the Tasogare family.

Once bound, the user and Kurai's will slowly become one - as they become the composite being known as Kagemusha.

Ownership of the blade grants the user access to powerful reserves of magical spells and techniques.

The Eien no Yoru can also absorb magical energy and disperse it. The sword can also imbue others with latent magical potential - allowing them to develop their own Shadow Arts, though at the expense of their free will.

Akito can also remotely control the sword with his mind - which he used to catch Ryozo Hoyokazi off guard in their first confrontation. <ref name=":0">"Shadow of the Blade"</ref>

=== Kagemusha Armor ===
The mystical armor that Akito wears when he assumes the role of Kagemusha. It is reinforced with magical power, and can withstand substantial amounts of force.

The armor also distorts Akito's voice, making him completely unrecognizable.

== Skills ==

=== Master Swordsmanship ===
Akito is a master of all known forms of Japanese sword combat - including Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu. Though he has a preference for quick draw techniques to quickly finish encounters, he is also capable of longer confrontations.

=== Martial Arts ===
Akito is also skilled in different forms of Martial Arts, from Karate and Tae Kwon Do to Judo and even more eccentric styles such as Capoeira.

== Notes ==

* Akito and his younger sister Asami are not Hiruzen's only children.
** He has several half-brothers and half-sisters who also have Shadow Arts.
** Akito was chosen as the head of the Tasogare family due to the Sacrificial Pact that his mother Sakura made in secret - years after he was born.
*** His immense affinity for magic and the Shadow Arts is thanks to his Spirit Sight - which is the result of his mother's Sacrificial Pact.
**** That extreme affinity is what made him Hiruzen's chosen successor.
* Akito has red eye markings on his face - which denote his fusion with Kurai.
** He has occasionally been teased by his sister for his "eyeliner".
* Akito's favorite color is red, unsurprisingly so.
* Akito and Ryozo's fathers were originally close friends, until Ryozo's father married into the Hoyokazi family.
** As such, Akito believes that Ryozo should show loyalty to him over the Hoyokazi family.

=== Early Life ===
Akito was born to Hiruzen and Sakura Tasogare - the former leaders of the Tasogare family in Japan. As the first born son and successor to the mantle of Kagemusha, Hiruzen ensured that Akito would proceed with the transference ritual as a child.

Through the ritual, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade was transferred to Akito - along with the malevolent [[Kurai|consciousness]] harbored within. Eventually, his father passed away after succumbing to injuries from an assassination attempt - with his mother having already left earlier in his life due to unknown reasons.

As a teenager, Akito was then burdened with the responsibility of leading the Tasogare family to prominence. To that end, he devised a plan to systematically weaken and destroy their main enemies - the [[Hoyokazi Family|Hoyokazi]] family.

=== Kagemusha ===
After reaching young adulthood at the age of 18, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade would slowly start to influence Akito's mind - compelling him to engage in greater displays of force and strength towards his goal.

To that end, he began to commune with the spirit of the God-like being contained within the blade. The spirit would then begin instructing Akito on how to master his innate abilities, while also instructing him in the art of swordsmanship.

Once his training was complete, Akito would then become the new Kagemusha. He then assumed full command of the Shadows; a supernatural shinobi force that enforces the will of the Tasogare family.

=== Current Events ===
As Kagemusha, Akito is now attempting to weaken the Hoyokazi family - enough to either destroy their power structure or absorb them into the fold of the Tasogare family.
[[File:Kagemusha.png|thumb|577x577px|Kagemusha]]
Whether he is successful or not, is dependent on his own capacity to control his mind - should it otherwise be subsumed by the Eien no Yoru blade's malevolent intent.

After a brief encounter with [[Ryozo Hoyokazi]], Akito has declared him an enemy of the Tasogare family.<ref name=":0" />

Later, after Asami and Hanabi encountered [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|one of Sanctuary City's greatest vigilantes]] - their forced retreat convinced Akito to shift the Tasogare family's efforts towards recruiting strong fighters in the West.<ref>"Contiguity"</ref>

All of this was done with the hopes of building up an army capable of destroying the Hoyokazi family in one fell swoop.

Currently, Akito plans a two-pronged assault against both the Hoyokazis in Japan, and the vigilantes in the West.

Having defeated Ouranos and taken control of the Eukaryon organization<ref name=":1">"Midnight Blade, Shining Light"</ref>, Akito has redoubled his efforts to confront his family's enemies, all in the hopes of fulfilling his purpose.

== Powers ==

=== Meta-Gene ===
Akito has a Meta-Gene that grants him substantial energy manipulation abilities. He can passively absorb ambient energy in his surroundings, storing it and channeling back in various ways.

He can also passively generate enormous amounts of energy - to allowing him to gradually and systematically alter his own physiology, strengthening it over the course of a decade.

His cellular structure is also reinforced by this ability, constantly saturated with energy to prolong his own longevity as a human.

=== Magic ===
As the wielder of the Eien no Yoru and the other half of Kurai - Akito is capable of utilizing the forces of [[Magic]] to an immense degree.

Initially, Akito's usage of magic was relegated to basic amplification of his physical traits - much like the rest of his family.

However, due to his encounter with [[Selathiel Thaumiel|Ouranos]], Akito replicated his magical knowledge and gained the ability to become a master sorcerer.<ref name=":1" />

Due to this increase in knowledge, Akito can now cast spells as efficiently as any skilled magician or sorcerer can.

Examples of magic spells cast by Akito include:

* Force Fields
* Telepathy
* Telekinesis
* Elemental Manipulation
* Mystical Sealing | Banishment
* Astral Projection
* Phasing | Intangibility
* Summoning
* Mystic Bolts
* Transmutation
* Shapeshifting

=== Shadow Arts ===
As a Tasogare and as Kagemusha, Akito has access to three unique [[Shadow Arts]] - magical techniques and abilities that are inherent to members of the Tasogare family.

==== Altar ====
A cumulative Shadow Art first bestowed upon the original Kagemusha by Kurai.

Altar is a stockpiling Shadow Art that absorbs the Shadow Arts of all members of the Tasogare family after they die.

Because of this, Akito has the combined abilities of all his ancestors.

==== Fissure ====
The Shadow Art inherited from the Eien no Yoru blade itself.

A spatial slash attack that generates magical energy that is refined to the point of being able to cut through the fabric of space-time itself.

The attack bypasses virtually all defenses unless they are supernaturally reinforced.

With enough time, Akito can refine the energy output of the attack to cut through even the most reinforced of defenses.

===== Time Travel =====
Through the power of the Fissure Shadow Art, Akito can slice through the fabric of space-time itself, exiting the space-time continuum.

This allows Akito the ability to freely travel through time, albeit in a chaotic manner.

==== Expanse ====
Akito's innate Shadow Art.

This magical ability allows Akito to directly the fabric of space-time itself - potentially to a nigh-absolute degree.

===== Space Manipulation =====
Akito's primary usage of Expanse is the direct alteration of space itself.

Akito can use this ability to create vacuums that pull his surroundings in, or spatial expansions that push his surroundings out like an explosion of force.

By combining these techniques with his punches and kicks, he can drastically increase his striking force through spatial amplification.

A more advanced application of this technique involves the creation of spatial barriers that stop objects from physically touching Akito by infinitely dividing space around him.

Pocket dimensions can also be created by Akito through this technique.

He can also instantaneously teleport both himself and others with this technique - without a range limit.

===== Time Manipulation =====
Another application of Akito's Expanse Shadow Art is the ability to alter the flow of time relative to himself and others in his environment.

He can create localized spatial-temporal "spheres" to alter the relative movement of time around his targets - either freezing them in stasis or rapidly accelerating them. He can also loop them within a range of time.

Akito can also drag time to a near halt around him - effectively stopping time if he chooses to.

==== Shadow Beasts ====
The final Shadow Art, an inherited technique passed down from generations of Tasogare leaders.

The ability allows Akito to summon twelve magical creatures through a mass of shadows that he creates.

===== Eien no Akuma =====
The most dangerous of the Shadow Beasts is Eien no Akuma, or simply Akuma - The Demon of Eternity.

Akuma has the ability to gradually mimic the properties and characteristics of whatever it is attacked by.

The mimicry process is prolonged, however, and takes several minutes to fully activate.

=== Seishin Shiryoku ===
The Seishin Shiryoku (Spirit Sight) is the name given to Akito's supernatural and magic-based eyes, created through the use of a [[Sacrificial Pact]] by his mother, Sakura.

From the pact, Akito gained supernatural vision - allowing him to perceive ghosts, spirits and other forms of non-physical and non-corporeal phenomena.

He can also perceive objects at a distance with telescopic accuracy - along with objects up close through microscopic precision. He can see in different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum as well.

Furthermore, Akito can even see the path of magical forces and magical energies as they occur around him, allowing him to trace supernatural phenomena and predict said phenomena before they occur.

Similar to Ryozo Hoyokazi's [[Chakra]] eyes, Akito also has the ability to replicate the physical motions of those that he directly observes in an instant.

In addition, Akito's energy efficiency is pushed to its absolute limit due to this ability - making him virtually impossible to wear out in a fight.

This improved efficiency, combined with his inherent energy generation, give him virtually infinite stamina.

== Equipment ==

=== Eien no Yoru ===
The Tasogare family sword, also known as '''Eternal Night'''. It is the source of the Tasogare family's magical powers - such as Shadow Arts and Sacrificial Pacts. It also houses the spirit of the magical god-like being known as Kurai.

The sword contains Kurai's will, and magically binds itself to its user - who is usually the head of the Tasogare family.

Once bound, the user and Kurai's will slowly become one - as they become the composite being known as Kagemusha.

Ownership of the blade grants the user access to powerful reserves of magical spells and techniques.

The Eien no Yoru can also absorb magical energy and disperse it. The sword can also imbue others with latent magical potential - allowing them to develop their own Shadow Arts, though at the expense of their free will.

Akito can also remotely control the sword with his mind - which he used to catch Ryozo Hoyokazi off guard in their first confrontation. <ref name=":0">"Shadow of the Blade"</ref>

=== Kagemusha Armor ===
The mystical armor that Akito wears when he assumes the role of Kagemusha. It is reinforced with magical power, and can withstand substantial amounts of force.

The armor also distorts Akito's voice, making him completely unrecognizable.

== Skills ==

=== Master Swordsmanship ===
Akito is a master of all known forms of Japanese sword combat - including Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu. Though he has a preference for quick draw techniques to quickly finish encounters, he is also capable of longer confrontations.

=== Martial Arts ===
Akito is also skilled in different forms of Martial Arts, from Karate and Tae Kwon Do to Judo and even more eccentric styles such as Capoeira.

== Notes ==

* Akito and his younger sister Asami are not Hiruzen's only children.
** He has several half-brothers and half-sisters who also have Shadow Arts.
** Akito was chosen as the head of the Tasogare family due to the Sacrificial Pact that his mother Sakura made in secret - years after he was born.
*** His immense affinity for magic and the Shadow Arts is thanks to his Spirit Sight - which is the result of his mother's Sacrificial Pact.
**** That extreme affinity is what made him Hiruzen's chosen successor.
* Akito has red eye markings on his face - which denote his fusion with Kurai.
** He has occasionally been teased by his sister for his "eyeliner".
* Akito's favorite color is red, unsurprisingly so.
* Akito and Ryozo's fathers were originally close friends, until Ryozo's father married into the Hoyokazi family.
** As such, Akito believes that Ryozo should show loyalty to him over the Hoyokazi family.

=== Sword Magic ===
As the wielder of the Eien no Yoru - Akito is capable of performing general acts of magic and sorcery, by focusing the essence of Kurai's magical power through the weapon itself.

Because of this, Akito can only cast more powerful magic when the Eien no Yoru blade is summoned and held in his hand. Lower level magical spells can be cast without the blade being held, however.

Examples of the magic spells cast by Akito include:

* Force Fields
* Telepathy
* Telekinesis
* Elemental Attacks
* Mystical Sealing | Banishment

Kurai

2024-04-23T22:00:37Z

Magister:

'''Kurai''' is the name given to a God-like being from another plane of existence. He is a Conceptual and Magical deity of immense power, with a fundamental connection to both forces.

Currently, he is the progenitor of the [[Tasogare Family|Tasogare]] family and the source of their supernatural power. When fused with his [[Akito Tasogare|human counterpart]] - he becomes the merged being known as '''Kagemusha'''.
[[File:Kurai.jpg|thumb|505x505px|"The Darkness Sprung Eternal."]]

== Summary ==

=== Nascent Beginnings ===
A being from a higher plane of existence known as the "Sorrowful Star", Kurai is an [[Astrals|Astral]] - specifically the Astral of Devastation. Initially, Kurai was seen as a bloodthirsty and sociopathic monster among his species - infamous for recklessly destroying countless dimensions for the sake of irrational chaos.

Eventually, after eons of rampant devastation on his part, he was tricked by the rest of the Astrals into a binding scenario. In exchange for his removal from their plane of existence, the other Astrals took on the burden of absorbing his malevolent essence into themselves.

While the Astrals were successful in banishing Kurai from their plane of existence, they soon began to war among themselves - struggling to maintain the incalculable amount of conceptual malice held within Kurai's essence.

Soon, the Astrals would splinter among themselves - with those capable of rising above their latent darkness choosing to hide themselves throughout existence; whereas those incapable of overcoming Kurai's darkness instead choosing to further cause chaos.

=== Call of the Gods ===
Kurai himself had been banished from the known universe and all of its adjacent infinite dimensions. Being placed outside of conventional space-time itself, his essence was soon drawn to [[Godspace]] - the conceptual realm of the [[The Gods|Gods]].

Fearing him to be an expression of the ultimate evil born of human intent - the Gods chose to engage Kurai in battle. Unbeknownst to them, their perceptions of Kurai as the ultimate demonic evil would gradually warp his appearance and nature even further - with him feeding on their negative thoughts and beliefs.

Eventually, Kurai would reach a stalemate with the Gods, unable to defeat them. Instead, repeating the decisions of his prior adversaries, the Gods chose to combine their raw power and skill into a magical spell that would bind Kurai in a magical plane of existence. The binding spell also gave Kurai a high sensitivity to magical energy - to the point of agony.

=== Arcana Magicka ===
After being bound by the combined magical might of all the known Godly pantheons, Kurai was then cast aside into a dimension known as the "Arcana Magicka" - an artificial space created through the natural flow of magic on a cosmic scale.

Excess magic, too powerful to be properly shunted into normal reality - would gradually accumulate in a plane of existence beyond the normal space-time continuum, leading to the creation of the Arcana Magicka dimension.

The Gods had hoped that by weakening Kurai and imbuing him with his newfound pain towards magic, the combined pressure of his new prison would gradually rip him apart.

However, due to Kurai's Conceptual nature as the Astral of Destruction, the chaos of his surroundings instead empowered him. After countless eons being imprisoned by the Gods, and after initially being banished by his fellow Astrals - Kurai grew to channel more hatred for existence itself.

With his foundational compulsion to cause destruction and exert his power on all around him, Kurai would eventually accumulate enough magical power to undergo a metamorphosis. Now able to free himself from his prison outside of conventional reality - Kurai would then turn his attention towards his revenge.

=== A Dish Best Served Cold ===
With his newly empowered state, Kurai immediately broke free of his restraints within the Arcana Magicka, now choosing to immediately turn his sights towards both the Astrals and the Gods. After realizing their mistakes, both groups of higher beings agreed to a temporary alliance - in a bid to end the threat of Kurai once and for all.

The battle between Kurai and his combined opposition lasted for an incalculable amount of time - with heavy casualties being experienced on the side of the Astral-God alliance. Although all of their fallen would eventually resurrect themselves, they were quickly losing more and more ground to Kurai's advances.

Eventually, Kurai's enemies created their final gambit - an attempt to circumvent the issues that came from binding him within planes of existence. The greatest sorcerers amongst the Gods came together and made a [[Sacrificial Pact]] with [[Magic IsoMatrix|Magic]] itself - proclaiming their independence from sentient life as the price for Kurai's total defeat.

Magic answered their call and bestowed upon them an artifact of immense and unfathomable power. A [[Eien no Yoru|sword]] capable of absorbing magical energy and supernatural power - seemingly without limit. The sword would then be used to fatally injure Kurai - drastically weakening him and absorbing the vast majority of his powers into it.

=== Cast From Heaven ===
Desperate to sustain his own existence, Kurai used the remainder of his near-infinite power to fight off the remainder of the Astral-God alliance, gaining control of the sword as his life force began to rapidly decline. Through sheer instinct, he used the last of his powers to teleport himself from Godspace and towards the instinctual origination point of its power - Earth.

Arriving in Japan during the Heian period - long before modern days; the last vestiges of his unsealed energy appeared before a Japanese Samurai - promising him immense power to him and his family line. The only cost being undying loyalty to Kurai himself - as he slowly regained his strength over the coming millennia.

The man, potentially an acquaintance of Taira no Masakado, was then bestowed with the sword used to seal away Kurai's essence and power. The man was the ancestor to the Tasogare family; the first to partially merge with Kurai and become the Kagemusha - the warrior of shadow.

Soon, the Tasogare family would slowly grow in both size and power - operating from within the shadows of Japan's dynamic sociopolitical climate. Each and every Kagemusha would slowly grow old, performing the binding ritual required to transfer Kurai's essence to their next of kin.

This process would go on for countless generations - before Kurai would eventually merge with the one fully capable of harboring his essence.

=== Modern Day ===
Now in the 21st century, Kurai still remains as the patron God of the Kagemusha family - guiding them through the vessel of his chosen fusee. Eventually, before Hiruzen Tasogare would pass away, the most recent binding ritual would occur - allowing Kurai's full essence and power to transfer into the body of Hiruzen's son - Akito Tasogare.

As the most powerful fusee to become Kagemusha, Akito is able to fully harness Kurai's power - becoming the strongest Kagemusha in Japan's history.

The sacrificial pact made by Akito's mother, Sakura - allowed him the ability to harness magical energy to a degree otherwise impossible for a human being. While the cost of this sacrificial pact would ultimately be Sakura's life - it made Akito the perfect vessel for Kurai's power - allowing them to perfectly fuse together in both mind and power.

As a merged entity, Akito and Kurai no longer distinguish between themselves - and instead work towards their shared goal of attaining total control over Japan; and eventually reality itself.

== Powers ==

=== Astral Nature ===
As an Astral - a being of pure Conceptual force and strength, Kurai has several abilities pertaining to metaphysical concepts and principles. Specifically, as the Astral of Devastation and Chaos, Kurai's powers fluctuate, depending on the state of the world around him.

==== Reality Warping ====
When still operating as a separate being, Kurai, like all Astrals, had the ability to bend the fabric of existence around him; allowing him to achieve virtually any physical effect he desired.

With a thought, he was capable of immense displays of force and power - such as the immediate and complete obliteration of entire space-time continuums.

He could also break the laws of physics, allowing him to do things otherwise thought impossible by scientific observation - such as moving faster than light.

==== Destruction ====
As the Astral of Destruction, Kurai has the unique ability to annihilate lower level beings - removing them from existence itself, so long as they are not anchored to reality in some fundamental way.

Beings who are at Kurai's level of strength, or even higher - can outright ignore this ability. Although Kurai can also annihilate aspects of a being from existence as well, if he chooses to.

==== Chaos Empowerment ====
Kurai's nature also grants him an oscillating increase and decrease in strength, depending on the relative level of Chaos around him.

The more disorder, unpredictability and outright bedlam around him, the more powerful Kurai's abilities become. The more ordered, structured and peaceful the area around him is - the weaker that Kurai becomes as a consequence.

=== Magic ===
Due to his time spent imprisoned in the Arcana Magicka dimension, Kurai was imbued with an immense amount of magical power, rapidly evolving him into a magical being - beyond that of a normal Astral.

Because of his eons spent fighting both the Astrals and the Gods, Kurai has learned and developed countless forms of magic, with a flurry of spells, incantations, hexes, charms and evocations available for him to use.

Furthermore, Kurai naturally generates magical energy, after fundamentally evolving himself to become a being of magic itself.

=== Psionics ===
Due to his Astral nature, Kurai is an immensely powerful psionic being, capable of casually breaching most levels of the [[Astral Plane]] - in order to draw out psionic monsters and psionic energy for his own uses.

He can dominate the minds of weaker beings instantly and effortlessly - allowing him to project his essence onto them and completely override their inherent wills. This aspect of his nature would later be seen in the Eien no Yoru blade's ability to remove the willpower from those it stabs.

In addition, Kurai can use his psionic abilities to project illusions, absorb and project information - and even merge himself partially with the Astral Plane itself.

Kurai also has a psionic connection to those who carry his magical essence - meaning all blood-related members of the Tasogare family have a compulsion to perpetuate the will of Kagemusha.

== Notes ==

* Kurai's backstory and history bare strong parallels with the angel Lucifer.
** Similar to Lucifer, Kurai attempted to defy the natural order of his existence, and was forced out of a higher existence for his arrogance.
** Kurai is also seen by most Astrals as being the closest thing their species has to an embodiment of Evil - a being of pure malice and selfishness.
* Every Tasogare that Kurai has merged with to form Kagemusha has become significantly stronger than their predecessors.
** This is because Kurai's control over his sealed power power gradually improves over the course of generations - aided by the [[Observation|Conceptual powers]] inherent to human beings.

'''Kurai''' is the name given to a God-like being from another plane of existence. He is a Conceptual and Magical deity of immense power, with a fundamental connection to both forces.

Currently, he is the progenitor of the [[Tasogare Family|Tasogare]] family - the source of their supernatural power. When fused with his [[Akito Tasogare|human counterpart]] - he becomes the merged being known as '''Kagemusha'''.

== Summary ==

=== Nascent Beginnings ===
A being from a higher plane of existence known as the "Sorrowful Star", Kurai is an [[Astrals|Astral]] - specifically the Astral of Devastation. Initially, Kurai was seen as a bloodthirsty and sociopathic monster among his species - infamous for recklessly destroying countless dimensions for the sake of irrational chaos.

Eventually, after eons of rampant devastation on his part, he was tricked by the rest of the Astrals into a binding scenario. In exchange for his removal from their plane of existence, the other Astrals took on the burden of absorbing his malevolent essence into themselves.

While the Astrals were successful in banishing Kurai from their plane of existence, they soon began to war among themselves - struggling to maintain the incalculable amount of conceptual malice held within Kurai's essence.

Soon, the Astrals would splinter among themselves - with those capable of rising above their latent darkness choosing to hide themselves throughout existence; whereas those incapable of overcoming Kurai's darkness instead choosing to further cause chaos.

=== Call of the Gods ===
Kurai himself had been banished from the known universe and all of its adjacent infinite dimensions. Being placed outside of conventional space-time itself, his essence was soon drawn to [[Godspace]] - the conceptual realm of the [[The Gods|Gods]].

Fearing him to be an expression of the ultimate evil born of human intent - the Gods chose to engage Kurai in battle. Unbeknownst to them, their perceptions of Kurai as the ultimate demonic evil would gradually warp his appearance and nature even further - with him feeding on their negative thoughts and beliefs.

Eventually, Kurai would reach a stalemate with the Gods, unable to defeat them. Instead, repeating the decisions of his prior adversaries, the Gods chose to combine their raw power and skill into a magical spell that would bind Kurai in a magical plane of existence. The binding spell also gave Kurai a high sensitivity to magical energy - to the point of agony.

=== Arcana Magicka ===
After being bound by the combined magical might of all the known Godly pantheons, Kurai was then cast aside into a dimension known as the "Arcana Magicka" - an artificial space created through the natural flow of magic on a cosmic scale.

Excess magic, too powerful to be properly shunted into normal reality - would gradually accumulate in a plane of existence beyond the normal space-time continuum, leading to the creation of the Arcana Magicka dimension.

The Gods had hoped that by weakening Kurai and imbuing him with his newfound pain towards magic, the combined pressure of his new prison would gradually rip him apart.

However, due to Kurai's Conceptual nature as the Astral of Destruction, the chaos of his surroundings instead empowered him. After countless eons being imprisoned by the Gods, and after initially being banished by his fellow Astrals - Kurai grew to channel more hatred for existence itself.

With his foundational compulsion to cause destruction and exert his power on all around him, Kurai would eventually accumulate enough magical power to undergo a metamorphosis. Now able to free himself from his prison outside of conventional reality - Kurai would then turn his attention towards his revenge.

=== A Dish Best Served Cold ===
With his newly empowered state, Kurai immediately broke free of his restraints within the Arcana Magicka, now choosing to immediately turn his sights towards both the Astrals and the Gods. After realizing their mistakes, both groups of higher beings agreed to a temporary alliance - in a bid to end the threat of Kurai once and for all.

The battle between Kurai and his combined opposition lasted for an incalculable amount of time - with heavy casualties being experienced on the side of the Astral-God alliance. Although all of their fallen would eventually resurrect themselves, they were quickly losing more and more ground to Kurai's advances.

Eventually, Kurai's enemies created their final gambit - an attempt to circumvent the issues that came from binding him within planes of existence. The greatest sorcerers amongst the Gods came together and made a [[Sacrificial Pact]] with [[Magic IsoMatrix|Magic]] itself - proclaiming their independence from sentient life as the price for Kurai's total defeat.

Magic answered their call and bestowed upon them an artifact of immense and unfathomable power. A [[Eien no Yoru|sword]] capable of absorbing magical energy and supernatural power - seemingly without limit. The sword would then be used to fatally injure Kurai - drastically weakening him and absorbing the vast majority of his powers into it.

=== Cast From Heaven ===
Desperate to sustain his own existence, Kurai used the remainder of his near-infinite power to fight off the remainder of the Astral-God alliance, gaining control of the sword as his life force began to rapidly decline. Through sheer instinct, he used the last of his powers to teleport himself from Godspace and towards the instinctual origination point of its power - Earth.

Arriving in Japan during the Heian period - long before modern days; the last vestiges of his unsealed energy appeared before a Japanese Samurai - promising him immense power to him and his family line. The only cost being undying loyalty to Kurai himself - as he slowly regained his strength over the coming millennia.

The man, potentially an acquaintance of Taira no Masakado, was then bestowed with the sword used to seal away Kurai's essence and power. The man was the ancestor to the Tasogare family; the first to partially merge with Kurai and become the Kagemusha - the warrior of shadow.

Soon, the Tasogare family would slowly grow in both size and power - operating from within the shadows of Japan's dynamic sociopolitical climate. Each and every Kagemusha would slowly grow old, performing the binding ritual required to transfer Kurai's essence to their next of kin.

This process would go on for countless generations - before Kurai would eventually merge with the one fully capable of harboring his essence.

=== Modern Day ===
Now in the 21st century, Kurai still remains as the patron God of the Kagemusha family - guiding them through the vessel of his chosen fusee. Eventually, before Hiruzen Tasogare would pass away, the most recent binding ritual would occur - allowing Kurai's full essence and power to transfer into the body of Hiruzen's son - Akito Tasogare.

As the most powerful fusee to become Kagemusha, Akito is able to fully harness Kurai's power - becoming the strongest Kagemusha in Japan's history.

The sacrificial pact made by Akito's mother, Sakura - allowed him the ability to harness magical energy to a degree otherwise impossible for a human being. While the cost of this sacrificial pact would ultimately be Sakura's life - it made Akito the perfect vessel for Kurai's power - allowing them to perfectly fuse together in both mind and power.

As a merged entity, Akito and Kurai no longer distinguish between themselves - and instead work towards their shared goal of attaining total control over Japan; and eventually reality itself.

== Powers ==

=== Astral Nature ===
As an Astral - a being of pure Conceptual force and strength, Kurai has several abilities pertaining to metaphysical concepts and principles. Specifically, as the Astral of Devastation and Chaos, Kurai's powers fluctuate, depending on the state of the world around him.

==== Reality Warping ====
When still operating as a separate being, Kurai, like all Astrals, had the ability to bend the fabric of existence around him; allowing him to achieve virtually any physical effect he desired.

With a thought, he was capable of immense displays of force and power - such as the immediate and complete obliteration of entire space-time continuums.

He could also break the laws of physics, allowing him to do things otherwise thought impossible by scientific observation - such as moving faster than light.

==== Destruction ====
As the Astral of Destruction, Kurai has the unique ability to annihilate lower level beings - removing them from existence itself, so long as they are not anchored to reality in some fundamental way.

Beings who are at Kurai's level of strength, or even higher - can outright ignore this ability. Although Kurai can also annihilate aspects of a being from existence as well, if he chooses to.

==== Chaos Empowerment ====
Kurai's nature also grants him an oscillating increase and decrease in strength, depending on the relative level of Chaos around him.

The more disorder, unpredictability and outright bedlam around him, the more powerful Kurai's abilities become. The more ordered, structured and peaceful the area around him is - the weaker that Kurai becomes as a consequence.

=== Magic ===
Due to his time spent imprisoned in the Arcana Magicka dimension, Kurai was imbued with an immense amount of magical power, rapidly evolving him into a magical being - beyond that of a normal Astral.

Because of his eons spent fighting both the Astrals and the Gods, Kurai has learned and developed countless forms of magic, with a flurry of spells, incantations, hexes, charms and evocations available for him to use.

Furthermore, Kurai naturally generates magical energy, after fundamentally evolving himself to become a being of magic itself.

=== Psionics ===
Due to his Astral nature, Kurai is an immensely powerful psionic being, capable of casually breaching most levels of the [[Astral Plane]] - in order to draw out psionic monsters and psionic energy for his own uses.

He can dominate the minds of weaker beings instantly and effortlessly - allowing him to project his essence onto them and completely override their inherent wills. This aspect of his nature would later be seen in the Eien no Yoru blade's ability to remove the willpower from those it stabs.

In addition, Kurai can use his psionic abilities to project illusions, absorb and project information - and even merge himself partially with the Astral Plane itself.

Kurai also has a psionic connection to those who carry his magical essence - meaning all blood-related members of the Tasogare family have a compulsion to perpetuate the will of Kagemusha.

== Notes ==

* Kurai's backstory and history bare strong parallels with the angel Lucifer.
** Similar to Lucifer, Kurai attempted to defy the natural order of his existence, and was forced out of a higher existence for his arrogance.
** Kurai is also seen by most Astrals as being the closest thing their species has to an embodiment of Evil - a being of pure malice and selfishness.
* Every Tasogare that Kurai has merged with to form Kagemusha has become significantly stronger than their predecessors.
** This is because Kurai's control over his sealed power power gradually improves over the course of generations - aided by the [[Observation|Conceptual powers]] inherent to human beings.

Akito Tasogare

Magister:

'''Akito Tasogare''' is a [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] | [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] hybrid - currently living in Kyoto, Japan. He is the head of the [[Tasogare]] family and CEO of the [[Seishin Corporation]].

{{Infobox person|birth_date=May 5th, 1996|birth_name="Akito Tasogare"|birth_place=Kyoto, Japan|caption=Yes, he's aware of the eyeliner.|family=Tasogare family|nationality=Japanese|parents=[[Hiruzen Tasogare|Hiruzen Tasogare]] (father), [[Sakura Tasogare|Sakura Tasogare]] (mother)|relatives=[[Asami Tasogare|Asami Tasogare]] (sister) [[Hanabi Tasogare|Hanabi Tasogare]] (half-sister) [[Hitomi Tasogare|Hitomi Tasogare]] (half-sister)|image=Akito - 2.jpg}}

As both the current wielder of the [[Eien no Yoru]], and the human host of the magical God known as [[Kurai]] - Akito is also known as '''Kagemusha -''' the leader of the [[Shadows]].

== Summary ==

=== Early Life ===
Akito was born to Hiruzen and Sakura Tasogare - the former leaders of the Tasogare family in Japan. As the first born son and successor to the mantle of Kagemusha, Hiruzen ensured that Akito would proceed with the transference ritual as a child.

Through the ritual, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade was transferred to Akito - along with the malevolent [[Kurai|consciousness]] harbored within. Eventually, his father passed away after succumbing to injuries from an assassination attempt - with his mother having already left earlier in his life due to unknown reasons.

As a teenager, Akito was then burdened with the responsibility of leading the Tasogare family to prominence. To that end, he devised a plan to systematically weaken and destroy their main enemies - the [[Hoyokazi Family|Hoyokazi]] family.

=== Kagemusha ===
After reaching young adulthood at the age of 18, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade would slowly start to influence Akito's mind - compelling him to engage in greater displays of force and strength towards his goal.

To that end, he began to commune with the spirit of the God-like being contained within the blade. The spirit would then begin instructing Akito on how to master his innate abilities, while also instructing him in the art of swordsmanship.

Once his training was complete, Akito would then become the new Kagemusha. He then assumed full command of the Shadows; a supernatural shinobi force that enforces the will of the Tasogare family.

=== Current Events ===
As Kagemusha, Akito is now attempting to weaken the Hoyokazi family - enough to either destroy their power structure or absorb them into the fold of the Tasogare family.
[[File:Kagemusha.png|thumb|577x577px|Kagemusha]]
Whether he is successful or not, is dependent on his own capacity to control his mind - should it otherwise be subsumed by the Eien no Yoru blade's malevolent intent.

After a brief encounter with [[Ryozo Hoyokazi]], Akito has declared him an enemy of the Tasogare family.<ref name=":0" />

Later, after Asami and Hanabi encountered [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|one of Sanctuary City's greatest vigilantes]] - their forced retreat convinced Akito to shift the Tasogare family's efforts towards recruiting strong fighters in the West.<ref>"Contiguity"</ref>

All of this was done with the hopes of building up an army capable of destroying the Hoyokazi family in one fell swoop.

Currently, Akito plans a two-pronged assault against both the Hoyokazis in Japan, and the vigilantes in the West. Whether he is successful or not remains to be seen now.

== Powers ==

=== Meta-Gene ===
Akito has a Meta-Gene that grants him substantial energy manipulation abilities. He can passively absorb ambient energy in his surroundings, storing it and channeling back in various ways.

He can also passively generate enormous amounts of energy - to allowing him to gradually and systematically alter his own physiology, strengthening it over the course of a decade.

His cellular structure is also reinforced by this ability, constantly saturated with energy to prolong his own longevity as a human.

=== Sword Magic ===
As the wielder of the Eien no Yoru - Akito is capable of performing general acts of magic and sorcery, by focusing the essence of Kurai's magical power through the weapon itself.

Because of this, Akito can only cast more powerful magic when the Eien no Yoru blade is summoned and held in his hand. Lower level magical spells can be cast without the blade being held, however.

Examples of the magic spells cast by Akito include:

* Force Fields
* Telepathy
* Telekinesis
* Elemental Attacks
* Mystical Sealing | Banishment

=== Shadow Arts ===
As a Tasogare and as Kagemusha, Akito has access to three unique [[Shadow Arts]] - magical techniques and abilities that are inherent to members of the Tasogare family.

==== Fissure ====
The Shadow Art inherited from the Eien no Yoru blade itself.

A spatial slash attack that generates magical energy that is refined to the point of being able to cut through the fabric of space-time itself.

The attack bypasses virtually all defenses unless they are supernaturally reinforced.

With enough time, Akito can refine the energy output of the attack to cut through even the most reinforced of defenses.

===== Time Travel =====
Through the power of the Fissure Shadow Art, Akito can slice through the fabric of space-time itself, exiting the space-time continuum.

This allows the ability to travel through time, albeit in a chaotic manner.

==== Expanse ====
Akito's innate Shadow Art.

This magical ability allows Akito to directly the fabric of space-time itself - potentially to a nigh-absolute degree.

===== Space Manipulation =====
Akito's primary usage of Expanse is the direct alteration of space itself.

Akito can use this ability to create vacuums that pull his surroundings in, or spatial expansions that push his surroundings out like an explosion of force.

By combining these techniques with his punches and kicks, he can drastically increase his striking force through spatial amplification.

A more advanced application of this technique involves the creation of spatial barriers that stop objects from physically touching Akito by infinitely dividing space around him.

Pocket dimensions can also be created by Akito through this technique.

He can also instantaneously teleport both himself and others with this technique - without a range limit.

===== Time Manipulation =====
Another application of Akito's Expanse Shadow Art is the ability to alter the flow of time relative to himself and others in his environment.

He can create localized spatial-temporal "spheres" to alter the relative movement of time around his targets - either freezing them in stasis or rapidly accelerating them. He can also loop them within a range of time.

Akito can also drag time to a near halt around him - effectively stopping time if he chooses to.

==== Shadow Beasts ====
The final Shadow Art, an inherited technique passed down from generations of Tasogare leaders.

The ability allows Akito to summon twelve magical creatures through a mass of shadows that he creates.

===== Eien no Akuma =====
The most dangerous of the Shadow Beasts is Eien no Akuma, or simply Akuma - The Demon of Eternity.

Akuma has the ability to gradually mimic the properties and characteristics of whatever it is attacked by.

The mimicry process is prolonged, however, and takes several minutes to fully activate.

=== Seishin Shiryoku ===
The Seishin Shiryoku (Spirit Sight) is the name given to Akito's supernatural and magic-based eyes, created through the use of a [[Sacrificial Pact]] by his mother, Sakura.

From the pact, Akito gained supernatural vision - allowing him to perceive ghosts, spirits and other forms of non-physical and non-corporeal phenomena.

He can also perceive objects at a distance with telescopic accuracy - along with objects up close through microscopic precision. He can see in different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum as well.

Furthermore, Akito can even see the path of magical forces and magical energies as they occur around him, allowing him to trace supernatural phenomena and predict said phenomena before they occur.

Similar to Ryozo Hoyokazi's [[Chakra]] eyes, Akito also has the ability to replicate the physical motions of those that he directly observes in an instant.

In addition, Akito's energy efficiency is pushed to its absolute limit due to this ability - making him virtually impossible to wear out in a fight.

This improved efficiency, combined with his inherent energy generation, give him virtually infinite stamina.

== Equipment ==

=== Eien no Yoru ===
The Tasogare family sword, also known as '''Eternal Night'''. It is the source of the Tasogare family's magical powers - such as Shadow Arts and Sacrificial Pacts. It also houses the spirit of the magical god-like being known as Kurai.

The sword contains Kurai's will, and magically binds itself to its user - who is usually the head of the Tasogare family.

Once bound, the user and Kurai's will slowly become one - as they become the composite being known as Kagemusha.

Ownership of the blade grants the user access to powerful reserves of magical spells and techniques.

The Eien no Yoru can also absorb magical energy and disperse it. The sword can also imbue others with latent magical potential - allowing them to develop their own Shadow Arts, though at the expense of their free will.

Akito can also remotely control the sword with his mind - which he used to catch Ryozo Hoyokazi off guard in their first confrontation. <ref name=":0">"Shadow of the Blade"</ref>

=== Kagemusha Armor ===
The mystical armor that Akito wears when he assumes the role of Kagemusha. It is reinforced with magical power, and can withstand substantial amounts of force.

The armor also distorts Akito's voice, making him completely unrecognizable.

== Skills ==

=== Master Swordsmanship ===
Akito is a master of all known forms of Japanese sword combat - including Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu. Though he has a preference for quick draw techniques to quickly finish encounters, he is also capable of longer confrontations.

=== Martial Arts ===
Akito is also skilled in different forms of Martial Arts, from Karate and Tae Kwon Do to Judo and even more eccentric styles such as Capoeira.

== Notes ==

* Akito and his younger sister Asami are not Hiruzen's only children.
** He has several half-brothers and half-sisters who also have Shadow Arts.
** Akito was chosen as the head of the Tasogare family due to the Sacrificial Pact that his mother Sakura made in secret - years after he was born.
*** His immense affinity for magic and the Shadow Arts is thanks to his Spirit Sight - which is the result of his mother's Sacrificial Pact.
**** That extreme affinity is what made him Hiruzen's chosen successor.
* Akito has red eye markings on his face - which denote his fusion with Kurai.
** He has occasionally been teased by his sister for his "eyeliner".
* Akito's favorite color is red, unsurprisingly so.
* Akito and Ryozo's fathers were originally close friends, until Ryozo's father married into the Hoyokazi family.
** As such, Akito believes that Ryozo should show loyalty to him over the Hoyokazi family.

== Powers ==

=== Meta-Gene ===
Akito has a Meta-Gene that grants him substantial energy manipulation abilities. He can passively absorb ambient energy in his surroundings, storing it and channeling back in various ways.

He can also passively generate enormous amounts of energy - to allowing him to gradually and systematically alter his own physiology, strengthening it over the course of a decade.

His cellular structure is also reinforced by this ability, constantly saturated with energy to prolong his own longevity as a human.

=== Shadow Arts ===
As a Tasogare and as Kagemusha, Akito has access to three unique [[Shadow Arts]] - magical techniques and abilities that are inherent to members of the Tasogare family.

==== Fissure ====
Akito's fused Shadow Art, gained from his fusion with the Eien no Yoru's malevolent entity.

This ability allows Akito to manipulate space to a nigh-absolute degree, compressing and sharpening raw force into a powerful slashing technique.

This technique is able to bypass virtually all forms of durability and protection - and is only negated by equally powerful supernatural forces, such as magic.

While the Fissure technique is at its strongest through the Eien no Yoru blade - Akito can use his fingers to achieve a weaker version of the technique.

The weaker version of Fissure is quicker to pull off - but has a much shorter range.

When faced with a target that is far stronger than a normal object - Akito has to focus the "sharpness" of the attack in order to match and exceed the durability of his target.

This means that stronger enemies have a time window to resist the Fissure technique - before Akito inevitably breaks through their defenses.

===== Time Travel =====
Through the power of the Fissure Shadow Art, Akito can slice through the fabric of space-time itself, exiting the space-time continuum and allowing himself the capacity to travel to any fixed point in space and time.

Akito's actions, as is the case with any time traveler, are subject to the Bootstrap interpretation of time travel - wherein any and all actions involved during time travel have already occurred retroactively in the present.

As such, Akito is not actually changing the fate of any event when he travels through time; instead he is either witnessing or causing said events to have always happened - as they were predestined to occur.

==== Expanse ====
Akito's innate Shadow Art, the one he was born with, and is truly unique to himself as a Tasogare family member.

The ability allows Akito to manipulate the fabric of space-time to a nigh-absolute degree.

===== Space Manipulation =====
Akito's primary usage of this power is the direct alteration of space itself - allowing him create vacuums, spatial barriers and even pocket dimensions.

Akito can also use this ability to teleport instantaneously - and there is no known limit to its range.

In addition to himself, Akito can also teleport others with this technique.

Furthermore, Akito can reinforce his punches and kicks with both spatial and gravitational force - essentially doubling his striking power, or multiplying it even further if necessary.

While no hand gestures are required for technique to be used, Akito can coordinate spatial manipulation more easily by using hand gestures as a frame of reference.

===== Time Manipulation =====
Another application of Akito's Expanse Shadow Art is the capacity to alter the perception and experience of time in a localized manner - either speeding it up or slowing it down as he sees fit.

He can utilize localized spatial-temporal bubbles to teleport objects and people elsewhere, slow them down or even rapidly age them up.

Akito can also freeze objects in place with this ability, effectively placing them in stasis. He can also bring time to an infinitesimally slow point, allowing him to move normally in an otherwise frozen world.

Only beings with sufficient levels of supernatural power, magic or other supernatural characteristics can resist the effects of Akito's Expanse Shadow Art.

==== Shadow Beasts ====
The final Shadow Art, an inherited technique passed down from generations of Tasogare leaders.

The ability allows Akito to summon twelve magical creatures through a mass of shadows that he creates.

These magical creatures each have their own unique abilities an weaknesses - and can either be manually coordinated by Akito, or given set parameters to operate independently with.

===== Eien no Akuma =====
The most dangerous of the Shadow Beasts is Eien no Akuma, or simply Akuma - The Demon of Eternity.

Akuma has the ability to gradually mimic the properties and characteristics of whatever it is attacked by.

The mimicry process is prolonged, however, and takes several minutes to fully take effect.

Akuma is itself an incredibly dangerous beast - nearly indestructible by conventional means, and almost mandates a supernatural response in order to destroy it entirely.

The most effective way to destroy Akuma is to overwhelm it with counterbalancing characteristics - forcing it to mimic its own weaknesses and accelerate its destruction without added effort.

=== Seishin Shiryoku ===
The Seishin Shiryoku (Spirit Sight) is the name given to Akito's supernatural and magic-based eyes, created through the use of a [[Sacrificial Pact]] by his mother, Sakura.

From the pact, Akito gained supernatural levels of sight - allowing him to perceive ghosts, spirits and other forms of non-physical and non-corporeal phenomena.

In addition, Akito's energy efficiency is pushed to its absolute limit due to this ability - making him virtually impossible to wear out in a fight.

This improved efficiency, combined with his inherent energy generation, give him virtually infinite stamina.

Furthermore, Akito can see the path of magical forces and magical energies as they occur around him, allowing him to trace supernatural phenomena and predict said phenomena before they occur.

Similar to Ryozo Hoyokazi's [[Chakra]] eyes, Akito also has the ability to replicate the physical motions of those he observes in an instant - thanks to the Spirit Sight ability that he now demonstrates.

Akito Tasogare

2024-04-16T04:04:32Z

Magister:

'''Akito Tasogare''' is a [[Para-Humans|Para-Human]] | [[Meta-Humans|Meta-Human]] hybrid - currently living in Kyoto, Japan. He is the head of the [[Tasogare]] family and CEO of the [[Seishin Corporation]].

{{Infobox person|birth_date=May 5th, 1996|birth_name="Akito Tasogare"|birth_place=Kyoto, Japan|caption=Yes, he's aware of the eyeliner.|family=Tasogare family|nationality=Japanese|parents=[[Hiruzen Tasogare|Hiruzen Tasogare]] (father), [[Sakura Tasogare|Sakura Tasogare]] (mother)|relatives=[[Asami Tasogare|Asami Tasogare]] (sister) [[Hanabi Tasogare|Hanabi Tasogare]] (daughter) [[Hitomi Tasogare|Hitomi Tasogare]] (daughter)|image=Akito - 2.jpg}}

As the current wielder of the [[Eien no Yoru]], Akito is also known as '''Kagemusha -''' the leader of the [[Shadows]].

== Summary ==

=== Early Life ===
Akito was born to Hiruzen and Sakura Tasogare - the former leaders of the Tasogare family in Japan. As the first born son and successor to the mantle of Kagemusha, Hiruzen ensured that Akito would proceed with the transference ritual as a child.

Through the ritual, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade was transferred to Akito - along with the malevolent [[Kurai|consciousness]] harbored within. Eventually, his father passed away after succumbing to injuries from an assassination attempt - with his mother having already left earlier in his life due to unknown reasons.

As a teenager, Akito was then burdened with the responsibility of leading the Tasogare family to prominence. To that end, he devised a plan to systematically weaken and destroy their main obstruction - the [[Hoyokazi Family|Hoyokazi]] family.

=== Kagemusha ===
After reaching young adulthood at the age of 18, the power of the Eien no Yoru blade would slowly start to influence Akito's mind - compelling him to engage in greater displays of force and strength towards his goal.

To that end, he began to commune with the spirit of the God-like being contained within the blade. The spirit would then begin instructing Akito on how to master his innate abilities, while also instructing him in the art of swordsmanship.

Once his training was complete, Akito would then become the new Kagemusha. He then assumed full command of the Shadows; a supernatural shinobi force that enforces the will of the Tasogare family.

=== Current Events ===
As Kagemusha, Akito is now attempting to weaken the Hoyokazi family - enough to either destroy their power structure or absorb them into the fold of the Tasogare family.
[[File:Kagemusha.png|thumb|577x577px|Kagemusha]]
Whether he is successful or not, is dependent on his own capacity to control his mind - should it otherwise be subsumed by the Eien no Yoru blade's malevolent intent.

After a brief encounter with [[Ryozo Hoyokazi]], Akito has declared him an enemy of the Tasogare family.<ref name=":0" />

Later, after Asami and Hanabi encountered [[Aiden Grayson (Earth-0)|one of Sanctuary City's greatest vigilantes]] - their forced retreat convinced Akito to shift the Tasogare family's efforts towards recruiting strong fighters in the West.<ref>"Contiguity"</ref>

All of this was done with the hopes of building up an army capable of destroying the Hoyokazi family in one fell swoop.

Currently, Akito plans a two-pronged assault against both the Hoyokazis in Japan, and the vigilantes in the West. Whether he is successful or not remains to be seen now.

== Powers ==

=== Meta-Gene ===
Akito has a Meta-Gene that grants him substantial energy manipulation abilities. He can passively absorb ambient energy in his surroundings, storing it and channeling back in various ways.

He can also passively generate enormous amounts of energy - to allowing him to gradually and systematically alter his own physiology, strengthening it over the course of a decade.

His cellular structure is also reinforced by this ability, constantly saturated with energy to prolong his own longevity as a human.

=== Shadow Arts ===
As a Tasogare and as Kagemusha, Akito has access to three unique [[Shadow Arts]] - magical techniques and abilities that are inherent to members of the Tasogare family.

==== Fissure ====
Akito's fused Shadow Art, gained from his fusion with the Eien no Yoru's malevolent entity.

This ability allows Akito to manipulate space to a nigh-absolute degree, compressing and sharpening raw force into a powerful slashing technique.

This technique is able to bypass virtually all forms of durability and protection - and is only negated by equally powerful supernatural forces, such as magic.

While the Fissure technique is at its strongest through the Eien no Yoru blade - Akito can use his fingers to achieve a weaker version of the technique.

The weaker version of Fissure is quicker to pull off - but has a much shorter range.

When faced with a target that is far stronger than a normal object - Akito has to focus the "sharpness" of the attack in order to match and exceed the durability of his target.

This means that stronger enemies have a time window to resist the Fissure technique - before Akito inevitably breaks through their defenses.

===== Time Travel =====
Through the power of the Fissure Shadow Art, Akito can slice through the fabric of space-time itself, exiting the space-time continuum and allowing himself the capacity to travel to any fixed point in space and time.

Akito's actions, as is the case with any time traveler, are subject to the Bootstrap interpretation of time travel - wherein any and all actions involved during time travel have already occurred retroactively in the present.

As such, Akito is not actually changing the fate of any event when he travels through time; instead he is either witnessing or causing said events to have always happened - as they were predestined to occur.

==== Expanse ====
Akito's innate Shadow Art, the one he was born with, and is truly unique to himself as a Tasogare family member.

The ability allows Akito to manipulate the fabric of space-time to a nigh-absolute degree.

===== Space Manipulation =====
Akito's primary usage of this power is the direct alteration of space itself - allowing him create vacuums, spatial barriers and even pocket dimensions.

Akito can also use this ability to teleport instantaneously - and there is no known limit to its range.

In addition to himself, Akito can also teleport others with this technique.

Furthermore, Akito can reinforce his punches and kicks with both spatial and gravitational force - essentially doubling his striking power, or multiplying it even further if necessary.

While no hand gestures are required for technique to be used, Akito can coordinate spatial manipulation more easily by using hand gestures as a frame of reference.

===== Time Manipulation =====
Another application of Akito's Expanse Shadow Art is the capacity to alter the perception and experience of time in a localized manner - either speeding it up or slowing it down as he sees fit.

He can utilize localized spatial-temporal bubbles to teleport objects and people elsewhere, slow them down or even rapidly age them up.

Akito can also freeze objects in place with this ability, effectively placing them in stasis. He can also bring time to an infinitesimally slow point, allowing him to move normally in an otherwise frozen world.

Only beings with sufficient levels of supernatural power, magic or other supernatural characteristics can resist the effects of Akito's Expanse Shadow Art.

==== Shadow Beasts ====
The final Shadow Art, an inherited technique passed down from generations of Tasogare leaders.

The ability allows Akito to summon twelve magical creatures through a mass of shadows that he creates.

These magical creatures each have their own unique abilities an weaknesses - and can either be manually coordinated by Akito, or given set parameters to operate independently with.

===== Eien no Akuma =====
The most dangerous of the Shadow Beasts is Eien no Akuma, or simply Akuma - The Demon of Eternity.

Akuma has the ability to gradually mimic the properties and characteristics of whatever it is attacked by.

The mimicry process is prolonged, however, and takes several minutes to fully take effect.

Akuma is itself an incredibly dangerous beast - nearly indestructible by conventional means, and almost mandates a supernatural response in order to destroy it entirely.

The most effective way to destroy Akuma is to overwhelm it with counterbalancing characteristics - forcing it to mimic its own weaknesses and accelerate its destruction without added effort.

=== Seishin Shiryoku ===
The Seishin Shiryoku (Spirit Sight) is the name given to Akito's supernatural and magic-based eyes, created through the use of a [[Sacrificial Pact]] by his mother, Sakura.

From the pact, Akito gained supernatural levels of sight - allowing him to perceive ghosts, spirits and other forms of non-physical and non-corporeal phenomena.

In addition, Akito's energy efficiency is pushed to its absolute limit due to this ability - making him virtually impossible to wear out in a fight.

This improved efficiency, combined with his inherent energy generation, give him virtually infinite stamina.

Furthermore, Akito can see the path of magical forces and magical energies as they occur around him, allowing him to trace supernatural phenomena and predict said phenomena before they occur.

Similar to Ryozo Hoyokazi's [[Chakra]] eyes, Akito also has the ability to replicate the physical motions of those he observes in an instant - thanks to the Spirit Sight ability that he now demonstrates.

== Equipment ==

=== Eien no Yoru ===
The Tasogare family sword, also known as '''Eternal Night'''. It is the source of the Tasogare family's magical powers - such as Shadow Arts and Sacrificial Pacts. It also houses the spirit of the magical god-like being known as Kurai.

The sword contains Kurai's will, and magically binds itself to its user - who is usually the head of the Tasogare family.

Once bound, the user and Kurai's will slowly become one - as they become the composite being known as Kagemusha.

The Eien no Yoru can absorb magical energy and disperse it. The sword can also imbue others with latent magical potential - allowing them to develop their own Shadow Arts, though at the expense of their free will.

Akito can also remotely control the sword with his mind - which he used to catch Ryozo Hoyokazi off guard in their first confrontation. <ref name=":0">"Shadow of the Blade"</ref>

=== Kagemusha Armor ===
The mystical armor that Akito wears when he assumes the role of Kagemusha. It is reinforced with magical power, and can withstand substantial amounts of force.

The armor also distorts Akito's voice, making him completely unrecognizable.

== Skills ==

=== Master Swordsmanship ===
Akito is a master of all known forms of Japanese sword combat - including Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu. Though he has a preference for quick draw techniques to quickly finish encounters, he is also capable of longer confrontations.

=== Martial Arts ===
Akito is also skilled in different forms of Martial Arts, from Karate and Tae Kwon Do to Judo and even more eccentric styles such as Capoeira.

== Notes ==

* Akito and his younger sister Asami are not Hiruzen's only children.
** He has several half-brothers and half-sisters who also have Shadow Arts.
** Akito was chosen as the head of the Tasogare family due to the Sacrificial Pact that his mother Sakura made in secret - years after he was born.
*** His immense affinity for magic and the Shadow Arts is thanks to his Spirit Sight - which is the result of his mother's Sacrificial Pact.
**** That extreme affinity is what made him Hiruzen's chosen successor.
* Akito has red eye markings on his face - which denote his fusion with Kurai.
** He has occasionally been teased by his sister for his "eyeliner".
* Akito's favorite color is red, unsurprisingly so.
* Akito and Ryozo's fathers were originally close friends, until Ryozo's father married into the Hoyokazi family.
** As such, Akito believes that Ryozo should show loyalty to him over the Hoyokazi family.

Furthermore, Akito can see the path of magical forces and magical energies as they occur around him, allowing him to trace supernatural phenomena and predict said phenomena before they occur.

Similar to Ryozo Hoyokazi's [[Chakra]] eyes, Akito also has the ability to replicate the physical motions of those he observes in an instant - thanks to the Spirit Sight ability that he now demonstrates.

== Equipment ==

=== Eien no Yoru ===
The Tasogare family sword, also known as '''Eternal Night'''. It is the source of the Tasogare family's magical powers - such as Shadow Arts and Sacrificial Pacts. It also houses the spirit of the magical god-like being known as Kurai.

The sword contains Kurai's will, and magically binds itself to its user - who is usually the head of the Tasogare family.

Once bound, the user and Kurai's will slowly become one - as they become the composite being known as Kagemusha.

The Eien no Yoru can absorb magical energy and disperse it. The sword can also imbue others with latent magical potential - allowing them to develop their own Shadow Arts, though at the expense of their free will.

Akito can also remotely control the sword with his mind - which he used to catch Ryozo Hoyokazi off guard in their first confrontation. <ref name=":0">"Shadow of the Blade"</ref>

=== Kagemusha Armor ===
The mystical armor that Akito wears when he assumes the role of Kagemusha. It is reinforced with magical power, and can withstand substantial amounts of force.

The armor also distorts Akito's voice, making him completely unrecognizable.

== Skills ==

=== Master Swordsmanship ===
Akito is a master of all known forms of Japanese sword combat - including Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu. Though he has a preference for quick draw techniques to quickly finish encounters, he is also capable of longer confrontations.

=== Martial Arts ===
Akito is also skilled in different forms of Martial Arts, from Karate and Tae Kwon Do to Judo and even more eccentric styles such as Capoeira.

== Notes ==

* Akito and his younger sister Asami are not Hiruzen's only children.
** He has several half-brothers and half-sisters who also have Shadow Arts.
** Akito was chosen as the head of the Tasogare family due to the Sacrificial Pact that his mother Sakura made in secret - years after he was born.
* Akito has red eye markings on his face - which denote his fusion with Kurai.
** He has occasionally been teased by his sister for his "eyeliner".
* Akito's favorite color is red, unsurprisingly so.
* Akito and Ryozo's fathers were originally close friends, until Ryozo's father married into the Hoyokazi family.
** As such, Akito believes that Ryozo should show loyalty to him over the Hoyokazi family.
