Bio:

Formally the Adonis from Greek Myth -the man who was born from the incestuous relationship between father and daughter. His birth had a series of circumstances and heartbreak from his conception.

His grandmother had bragged about her daughter, Myrrha his mother, being more beautiful than the goddess Aphrodite, which invoked the wrath of the goddess of love, lust and beauty.

Aphrodite cursed Myrrha with insatiable lust for her own father. Myrrha’s passion became unbearable, and she revealed her shameful feelings to her nurse. The curse led to a tragic chain of events: Myrrha disguised herself to seduce her father, but when he discovered her true identity, he was horrified and chased her with a sword. Exhausted and filled with shame, Myrrha cried out to the gods for mercy. She was spared further disgrace by being transformed into a myrrh tree, and her tears gave the tree its fragrant resin. From this tree, Myrrha gave birth (the child popped out of her trunk) to a son—Adonis. Aphrodite discovered the infant and took him under her care. Adonis grew into the most beautiful person Aphrodite had ever seen. As the goddess of beauty, she believed he belonged with her. To hide her from other gods, she sometimes sent him to the underworld under Persephone’s care. However, Persephone, the queen of the Underworld, had also fallen in love with Adonis during his time there. She wished to keep him in her realm. The two. goddesses argued over who had more claim to Adonis’s affections. Zeus himself had to intervene to maintain peace. Despite Aphrodite’s love and protection, Adonis’s life took a tragic turn. During a hunting accident, he was fatally gored by a wild boar.

As his soul lay there floating in the cycle of reincarnation, getting ready to be judged by the three judges of the underworld, the conjunction of the sphere happened and his soul found its way into the Norse sphere. Hela, and Skuld, two goddesses of Asgard, took pity on the young man’s life, and decided to rewind his time and influence his fate, freeing him of the grip of the goddesses who had tormented him. They then let him go bestowing him with their own gifts and powers and blessing him with the ability to mirror Hela’s duality. She could either look like a corpse or a queen. So Adaunis, too, could now hide his comely appearance.

After the conjunction of the planes, the world he returned was different and strange and so he continued wandering across the earth, till he was found by the guardians and joined them out of sheer boredom and frustration.

Upon getting to Zoriah, stories about the gods all seemed strange and wrong. He confronted the guardians and found out that due to the conjunction of the planes; the gods had been influenced by malevolent energies, which caused their shift to become the ones who had a hand in his birth, life, and death.

Utterly unsatisfied by this, he left Zoriah and went to a city called ‘ἄτιμοι’ (Atimoi) which was Greek for dishonored. This city was a haven for all those who had been dishonored by the gods, who were the so-called saviors of humanity by the guardians. That, however, is a story for another time.

He later on returned to Zoriah after having gotten an explanation on what happened to him and decided to bury the hatchet and explore his second chance at life. He rejected many gods who wanted divine affiliations with him due to his deep-seated hatred for the gods. His only divine affiliations are those of the 2 goddesses who made his life miserable and the 2 goddesses who gave him a second chance at life.

Once the children who would later become members of the orphanage were brought in, he expressed a desire to join them, and it was granted.

He is a kind and cheerful person, which is primarily due to the circumstances of his life. On the battlefield, however, he possesses a chilling and terrifying disposition, which is totally opposite of his normal demeanor.

Areas of improvement:

As someone with the Ying Yang duality, he constantly struggles to keep himself in balance and that poses a problem when making strategic decisions. His innate hatred for the Greek sphere makes it all the more difficult for him to function well with guardians who admire the Greek Gods.

Nekro-kinesis is a very prejudiced branch of magic on Asteria, and some guardians see it as dishonoring fallen warriors. Only the members of the council and those at the orphanage know of his ability. He does not use this due to scrutiny, but this would be a very effective weapon in his hands.

Points to note:

As someone with very high stamina, he is able to be a tank. And due to his duality, he is able to take on the position of berserker and front the team. His spearmanship is extraordinary and is great for one on one battles

His shapeshifting makes him a very good option for espionage

His clairvoyance makes him a vital asset in the field, as he can somewhat control it to catch glimpses of the near future. This ability is a two-edged sword nonetheless, as his visions are open to interpretation.

Achievements:

Bio:

Calm, collected, cold, introverted personality. A hand to hand combatant like no other knows 999 martial arts from across the Earth and Asteria. Devotes his time and energy into the study of the mystic arts and martial arts. A prodigy as far as martial arts and magic are concerned, but socially distant from the rest of the guardians. The best martial artist in all the slumbering squads.

Schizoid Personality Disorder (SPD) - he is affected by this personality disorder. This causes him to be quite distant from everyone. It fully manifested a few Zorian years after he first came to the orphanage so he can still interact with the other members of the orphanage albeit barely.

His cold, aloof personality makes it difficult for him to be an integral part of any team

Aquarion’s psychic powers, however, are very useful in battle as he establishes psychic connections between the entire group with his brain as a hub. Although all his powers are low level, the rigorous training he has put himself through has made him capable of hosting a mind link of over 1000 people at once, even while fighting. He is the perfect embodiment of 'practice makes perfect', and once he awakens his powers as full guardian and matures his power to the peak, he is said to possess the potential to link the entire Zorian population.

Areas of improvement:

As someone with SPD, it is difficult to get him to cooperate and be part of a team, it would be a good idea to find a place in the team where his talents shine without the need for communication or too much interaction with people.

Points to note:

With an impressive skill set and his disorder, his assignments and placement need extensive thought and consideration of all factors. His is an imperative in the field and thus, needs to be handled with care.
