Aeon

Aeon is a Diety and a former member of the Aetherae, a peaceful race of beings that was killed off long ago for an unknown reason. He holds the title of the Second Strongest Being in and out of Existance.

Early Life as an Aetherae
Aeon was born as a female Aetherae named Gaea. The first fourteen years of her life were peace filled and enjoyable, but she could not help feeling the need for a change of pace. On her fifteenth birthday, Gaea's wish was granted, she was chosen to become a Scion, one of the twenty-four guardians of the Aetherae. Gaea was overjoyed because this would allow her to travel across Aethera and escape the repeating cycle of life that she endured in her home town.

Adventures as Scion
Almost a year later, having completed the training neccessary to act as a Scion, Gaea received her first mission: she was to investigate the Velzan Mountains, a sacred mountain range that had began to glow and rumble. Upon reaching the mountain range, Gaea was trapped in a brutal ice storm. With no place to take shelter, Gaea was forced to traverse the range despite the trecherous conditions and, after great hardship, eventually reached the Peak of Velzan, the tallest mountain within the Velzan Mountains. Here, she saw a great beacon of light that turned out to be the source of the glowing mountain range phenomena. Finding no way to stop the beacon, Gaea left the Velzan Mountains, inadvertantly dooming her race.

Signs of Catastrophy and Transformation
Following the completion of her mission, Gaea was tasked with examining several other sacred sites that exhibited strange activity and reporting her findings. Accompanied by two other Scions, Gaea traveled to the first site, the Tower of Yore. Despite a thorough investigation, nothing strange could be found until the trio began to leave the tower. As the three left, an unidentifiable construct attacked them. Finding no conventional way to stop the construct, Gaea and Co. were forced to collapse the the tower on top of the construct, effectively destroying it. The party then moved on to the next site, the Skyholme Ruins. Here, they encounter increasingly aggressive animals and spirits. It is here that Gaea sees a glimpse of her destiny.

Eventually, Gaea and Co. travel to their final destination, The Shining Capitol, where a thick darkness has settled. Unnerved, Gaea and the others slowly investigate the city and, eventually reach its center, where a Chimera-like monster has taken residence. A long battle ensues, resulting in one of Gaea's fellow Scions sacrificing herself to destroy the beast. This, however, reveals another beacon that awakens a another monster, one that swiftly decimates the majory of Aethera's life before fleeing into space.

Left nearly alone, Gaea's grief attracts the spirits of the majority of her race, whom infuse their anger, sorrow and desire for retribution into her. Empowered by these emotions, Gaea becomes a being that transcends the confines of a mortal body and flies into space to avenge her race. After years of chasing the celestial monster, she finally catches up to it and engages it in a battle that ultimately results in her becoming an entirely different creature.

The following millennia go by slowly for Gaea, now calling herself Rache. Rache drifts across the cosmos, occasionally entering skirmishes as a freelancer, bringing victory to whom ever she served. Eventually, Rache drifted into a deep slumber that lasted several millions years.

Time as Noah
Rache, after crashing into a planet called Kaster, awakens and forgets her previous role, adopting a male persona called Noah. As Noah, Aeon's power began to manifest as weapons, techniques and, eventually, a knight-like construct that called itself Rhea(In actuality, it is Gaea's spirit manifesting itself to watch over Aeon.). A few years pass and Noah becomes a renowned swordsman and mage on Kaster. He eventually comes into the service of seemingly benevolent king, who wants him to investigate and end a series of curses that are targeting his people. Noah and Rhea begin their investigation and find out about about a sect within the kingdom that wants to overthrow the king.

As Noah and Rhea's investigation continues, they come across a Werewolf, named Xiao, who is being attacked by some of the kingdom's knights. He proceeds to defend her, which causes Xiao consider Noah as a potential partner, and the three begin to investigate the king's history. Following a lead from a former knight, the trio meet a Serpent named Nero, who decides to join them on their investigation of the king and provides a vital piece of information that reveals that the king is in fact the one behind the curses.

Noah and Co. confront the king about this, but their information is used against them. which results in Xiao's imprisonment and Noah, Rhea and Nero becoming fugitives. The trio then splits up to train and liberate the kingdom. During this time, Noah awakens to more of his abilities and meets Tatsu, a Great Wyrm. Initailly, they distrust each other and their distrust quickly escalates into a battle that shakes the multiverse. The two continue their battle, growing stronger as time passes, eventually reaching a draw and become intimate over time. Not long afterwards, Rhea appears and challenges Noah to a battle that she claims will awaken his full potential. Noah is hesitant to fight his oldest friend, but engages her anyways. A difficult battle ensues for him as Rhea has become over a thousand times stronger than him, but eventually Noah defeats her and regains his memories as Gaea and Rache. After accepting his past, Noah awakens the majority of his power and prepares to save Xiao and the kingdom.

Noah's End, Aeon's Beginning
Noah, accompanied by Tatsu and Nero, sneak back into the kingdom, which has degraded because of the king's actions. The trio encounter Xiao, who does only recognizes Noah and attacks Tatsu and Nero with savage ferocity and strength. Noah eventually snaps her back to her sense by announcing his feelings for Tatsu, which stops Xiao in her tracks and causes her to sulk. Nero comforts her, eventually gaining her affection, and the newly formed quartet faces the king, who has since become a monster that feeds on life energy. Despite the party's strength and skill, they find them self losing their battle with the king until Noah sacrifices himself to save the his allies from a deadly attack.

Noah's death causes Tatsu and Nero to reveal their true forms as the Great Wyrm and Leviathan, while Xiao's full power is unleashed. The trio begins to make a comeback against the king, but it reveals its trump card and begins to absorb their life. As victory becomes a near impossibility, Noah is revived as Aeon and swiftly slays the king, bringing peace to the kingdom.

Refining and Compiling
Soon after the king's defeat, Aeon and Co. Settled down on Kaster. Aeon continued Noah's relationship with Tatsu, eventually becoming engaged and Soul Bound to her, Xiao marries Nero and Soul Bonds with him and peace is maintained on Kaster until Aeon gets sick. Aeon begins to black out at random moments and would often lose control of his powers, which caused natural disasters and supernatural phenomena to occur all over Kaster and its neighboring planets.

Understanding that the situation was dire, Tatsu, Nero and Xiao began looking for ways to cure their friend. Aeon became the subject of multiple potions, poultices and poisons, which often worsened his condition over all. His friends became desperate and began to give up, when Aeon came to understand his condition: He was not sick, his powers were overwhelming him because he was not completely in control of them. With this new found knowledge, Aeon managed to create a gateway to an alternate dimension, where he trained himself to use every ability he had and developed a few new ones. During this training session, Aeon traveled to another world and acquired the Demon Sword, Ragnarok, his signature weapon, and the ability to transform into his true form.

Aeon continued his training, developing aspects of himself and alternate versions of himself, until he reached the point where his power grew exponentially to keep up with his potential. Ultimately, he surpassed everyone and everything in the multiverse in power, leading to him training in outside of reality's and existance's confines. It was here that Aeon met Alara, the only being that could and did surpass him. Aeon began striving to surpass Alara, but remembered that he had people to return to, so he returned to Kaster.

Changing Times
When Aeon returned to Kaster, several thousand years had passed. Tatsu had grown tired of waiting for him to return and sealed away her powers and memories so that she could live an ordinary life, Nero and Xiao had a family of four and his group's story had been long forgotten. Aeon began to wander Kaster, hoping to meet Tatsu again and release her memories, but had no luck finding her until he arrived on an island country.

When Aeon found Tatsu, he was overjoyed, but his joy soon led to heart break when he learned that she hated the person who left her in the past and had since became engaged to a wealthy ruler. He then decided to befriend Tatsu rather than make her remember him and their connection. Over time, the two grew closer and he learned that Tatsu had begun to remember her past and her feelings for her soon to be husband were becoming conflicted. Aeon attempts to comfort Tatsu, but was mistaken as a person trying to woo her by her fiance and was attacked. Aeon defended himself and accidentally revealed his true self to Tatsu, which caused her to become more confused, unstable and led to her hating him. Aeon, saddened by this, decided he would no longer appear in her life to keep her from becoming unstable and confused. Aeon did not realise that this decision would cost him.

A few years passed and Tatsu finally married the ruler, which slightly saddened Aeon because of his feelings for her. Eventually, Aeon gets over his feeling for Tatsu, but he continued to watch over her like a guardian. One day, the Island country was attacked by a rampaging demon that almost no one could stop causing Aeon to seek Tatsu to protect her. When he found her, he was attacked by her husband, who was under the impression that Aeon wanted to take his wife. During this time, the demon found the three of them and Aeon, along with Tatsu's husband, were forced to fend off the demon. The Demon, being no match for Aeon or Tatsu's husband, Kensei, under normal circumstances, feigned death and waited until the warriors' had turned away to launch a surprise attack on them. Aeon pushed Kensei out of the attack's way and prepared to defend himself, but he was surprised when Tatsu, having regained her memories, but not releasing that he was invulnerable to the attack, jumped in front of him and took the blow, receiving a mortal injury. Aeon and Kensei, enraged and grief stricken, destroyed the demon with extreme prejudice, leaving no remains. They quickly turned to Tatsu, who was taking her last breaths, and attempted to heal her, but Tatsu stopped them and confessed her feelings for Aeon to Kensei, who finally began to understand why Aeon was with Tatsu on multiple occassions. She then promised to meet them again before passing on, leaving Aeon and Kensei to mourn for the woman they loved. Aeon then, after deciding to find Tatsu again, decides to make Kensei his first apprentice.

Apprentices and a Fated Encounter
Millennia pass and as Aeon trains Kensei, now calling himself Shion, who eventually chooses to go on a journey. Aeon allows this and he begins looking another apprentice. He soon finds one in an Aetherae named Lillia, who survived the xenocide of Aethera because of a Time Symbol. Aeon begins training Lillia, who shows great potential, but has a dark nature, to b like him. Eventually, Lillia reachs the same amount of power as Aeon, but lacks the ability to control it, so the majority of her power is converted into physical strength. Aeon continues to progress his training with Lillia until she calls it off and begins following Aeon around as a disciple. One day, Aeon comes across a Demon-Angel hybrid, who mistakes Aeon as a threatening being and attacks him only to be utterly crushed in the ensuing battle. Aeon then decides to train the hybrid until he is strong enough to end his own hardships and contend with Lillia, despite the differences in their strength. He then lets the hybrid choose his own destiny, but tells him that they will meet again. Aeon then decides to sleep until he is needed again.

Time Asleep and the Reunion
Aeon sleeps, physically, for hundreds of thousands of years, while his spirit roams the multiverse. As he travels, he comes across a familiar aura, one he had not felt since he had met Shion. Following the aura, Aeon's spirit finds the body of Tatsu. This causes him to become melancholy and remember her sacrifice. Deciding to let her rest in peace, Aeon's spirit leaves the area only to find that he is being followed. Eventually, Aeon's spirit confronts this follower and sees Tatsu. The two properly reunite and reaffirm their vows before having a tender moment. Aeon then promises that he will marry her soon after he fully reawakens. He proceeds to explain his adventures after her death and his apprentices.

Around this time, Lillia meets Tatsu and the two face each other to test the other's strength, resulting in an overwhelming victory for Tatsu, who has strength on par with Aeon's. The two grow to respect one another and agree to watch over Aeon until his awakening. Soon afterward, Aeon begins to stir...

As Gaea
Aeon's personality is different in each incarnation of him. As Gaea, Aeon was an adventureous young woman, who was quite mature for her age.

As Rache
As Rache, Aeon was much more sullen and morbid. She lacked the self-preservation instinct and was drawn to conflicts, the only times and places that allowed her to feel that her existence had meaning.

As Noah
As Noah, Aeon became both laid back and serious. He would often act as the voice of reason and was often quite calm. He was also quite protective of his allies, as seen when he sacrificed himself to save Tatsu, Xiao and Nero.

As Aeon
As Aeon, Aeon is all over the place emotionally, but retains his maturity and protective nature. At times, he has a sadistic streak, which only appears when he trains other beings, and has become fickle over time. Despite this, Aeon tries to maintain an unbiased veiw in all situations.

Appearance
Aeon has a wide varity of forms and appearances.

As Gaea
As Gaea, Aeon was a young woman with cyan hair that extended slightly past her shoulders and emerald eyes. She also had an alluring figure and a heart shaped face. She often wore a traditional Aetherae blouse with blue khakis, grey slip-on shoes and a crescent moon shaped earring. As a Scion, Gaea's attire switched from traditional to somewhat gothic and witch like. She wore a black and violet corset under a grey vest. Above that, she wore a violet torso length cloak with golden spaulders and the Scion emblem, A swirling branch. She also wore a black, knee length, skirt with black, thigh-high, stockings and black, slip-on, shoes. She is fifteen years old in traditional clothes and sixteen to seventeen years old as a Scion.

As Rache
As Rache, Aeon looked like a more mature Gaea with violet hair, that went well beyond her feet, and bitter crimson eyes. She wore a white, tattered cloak over silver cargo pants and a shirt that stopped above her midriff and silver, armor-like boots. Her right arm, from elbow to finger tips, was clad in a silver gauntlet with pointed fingers. She carried a rugged greatsword around. She looks about twenty-six years old.

As Noah
As Noah, Aeon had raven black hair and azure eyes. He was tall and lanky, but evenly toned with a light tan and handsome features. He wore a gauntlet and armlet on his right arm, a white, skin tight, shirt under a grey, short sleeved, low cut, jacket. He also wore Black cargo pants with silver and gold armored shoes. He carried around an ebony longsword. He looks about twenty years old.

As Aeon
As himself, Aeon wears a black, skin-tight, polyester like, shirt under a tan tattered cloak, dark grey cargo pants, anklets above silver, armored, shoes, a pair of clawed gauntlet's with ornate, cinder block-like guards from wrist of elbow and a silver sash around his waist. His face is a mixture of Noah's and Gaea's, with wild, iridescent, hair and eyes that constantly change colors. He often carries around Ragnarok or Aeon Slayer, his strongest swords. He looks about fourteen years old. When his true form is revealed, Aeon has Gaea's body, wrapped in white and blue sashes with a vermillion crystal growing form her right breast. Her eyes are a dull red, while her skin and hair glow pale blue. Behind the sashes, there is a pair of massive, white, blue and grey, wings that form the shape of a massive doorway.

Transdimensional Strength-

 * Aeon, even as Gaea, has strength well beyond a human's. As Rache and Noah, his strength roughly became four thousand times greater. As his true self, Aeon's strength is only surpassed by Alara's strength, which allows her to, literally, punch someone through well over a thousand dimensions with ease, while Aeon can barely punch someone through six-hundred.

Transdimensional Speed-

 * Aeon, while not the strongest in and out of existence, is the fastest. He can travel well beyond light speed with out exerting much, if any, effort. His fastest moment, so far, is traveling across the omniverse in .0003 Nanoseconds.

Transdimensional Endurance-

 * Aeon has extremely high physical and mental endurance. He resists the majority of attacks without using any of his defensive abilities because of this, but the downside is he can underestimate an opponent's strength.

Selective Omniscience-

 * Aeon, after much training, has the ability to know everything in existence, but only by choice. He often neglects this ability in favor of learning things normally as he thinks this ability is similar to "Cheating on a test that you know you can ace."

Omnimagic(Highest Degree)-

 * Aeon is, by far, one of the strongest magicians in and out of existence. He can cast, nearly, any spell in a fraction of a second and has mastery over most forms of magic, including Chronomancy, Elemental Magicks, Summoning Magic, Restorative and Boosting Magic, Debilitating Magic, Arcane Magic, Eldritch Magic, Universal Magicks, Alchemy, Curses and Blessings. Aeon often sticks to Arcane and Eldritch Magics, occassionally making use of Chronomancy and Universal Magicks.

Energy Manipulation(Highest Degree)-

 * Aeon has control over energy in a wide radius around him. He can use this ability to limit himself, which he often does, and others, absorb or block another being's abilities, create constructs, siphon energy on a large or small scale, empower himself and his abilities, convert matter to energy and vice versa.

Absolute Attack-

 * An ability Aeon acquired during training. It allows his attacks to almost always do damage, exceptions being if he misses on his opponent or if his opponent has Absolute Defense. He often limits this ability's usage. Is often combined with Vector Manipulation to create Absolute Counter.

Absolute Counter-

 * Aeon's Combination of Absolute Attack and Vector Manipulation. This allows Aeon to multiply the strength of his attacks by bouncing power from his attacks back onto them and adding it to them. Can pierce Absolute Defense

Absolute Defense-

 * A last resort for Aeon in the event that his, already monsterously high, endurance is at it's limit. It protects him from any attack, excluding Absolute Attacks, which cancels itself and Absolute defense out. He often conbines this with Vector Manipulation to counter attacks he other wise couldn't.

Vector Manipulation-

 * One of Aeon's most cherished abilities. It allows him to reverse most attacks back at their senders. Some Conceptual Attacks and most Universal Magicks can bypass this on its own. It is often combined with Absolute Defense or Absolute Attack to create Ultimate Defense or Absolute Counter.

Ultimate Defense-

 * A combination of Absolute Defense and Vector Manipulation. Aeon becomes immune to the majority of attacks and has the ability to deflect Absolute Attacks and resist Universal Magicks and Conceptual Attacks. Drains energy quickly.

Absolute Condition/Existence-

 * Aeon can choose what can and cannot effect him, barring Universal Magicks and certain Conceptual Attacks. He seldom activates this ability to its full potential.

Author Authority-

 * Aeon's least used ability(he doesn't even know when he acquired it or why he needs it.). In exchange for a massive amount of energy, Aeon can decree something that will happen regardless of the situation. He has only used this once, during his battle with the king on Kaster. He hates this ability and has it sealed away so that he does not use it without a proper reason. Arguably his strongest ability.
 * 1) Aeon uses a lesser version of this to train his apprentices against most mind control and possession
 * 2) This ability may have caused Aeon and his allies to become Soul Bound before he recognized it

Symbol Master(Highest Degree)-

 * Aeon is able to draw symbols that may have various effects due to his origins as an Aetherae. Training has improved this skill to the point of him being able create new symbols or enhance a symbol's effect and duration.

Aeonic Gaze-

 * One of Aeon's strongest attacks. It is conceptual as it forces the properties Paradoxal and Nonexistent on the target(s) and bypasses all abilities, barring Absolute Existence and Author Authority. The target is trapped within a seal that forces the past, present and future versions of them to merge. They are then atomized, split, ground into elemental particles and erased from existence. This version only works inside the confines of existence and can only be used twice a day because of the energy it consumes. Aeon exclusive.
 * An enhanced version of it exists to work anywhere. This version combines every parallel universe and alternate reality versions of the target into one being and rewrites their existence into that of a Temporal Being forced to repeatedly destroy themself.

Ragnarok-

 * Aeon's Strongest Physical Attack. He summons Ragnarok and supercharges himself before flying at the opponent at top speed. He proceeds to knock them back and forward across a large area, building momentum. Once enough momentum is built up, he kicks his opponent as hard as he can and springs after them with sword in tow. He proceeds to slash them thousands of times before springing off of them, spinning and preforming an Iaido slash through them followed by an energy blast.

Twilight Rael-

 * Aeon's Strongest Spell and a personalized Universal Magick. Aeon teleports everything around him to his personal dimension and creates a three layered seal around his target(s) that tethers them in place if they cannot escape fast enough. Three golden pillars of energy connect to the seals and the seals begin to rotate clockwise. soon, a slow, chain like, ring of explosions starts around the seal, slowly getting larger and speeding up. Eventually, the explosions reach light speed and stop, only for the seals to release all of the energy gathered from the explosions as a massive explosion of energy. This is followed by the explosion being sucked into itself, which creates a space-time distortion that manifests as an ebony, planet sized, sphere. The sphere begins to crack, revealing brilliant light, before exploding similar to a Type 1A Super Nova.


 * A variant exists if Absolute Counter is used: Everything up to the Super Nova like explosion remains the same, but instead of a single Super Nova, there is a ring of ten additional Super Novas that are reflected onto the initial Super Nova, creating a Giga Nova.

Chaos Hunter-

 * Aeon's Strongest Attack, period. Aeon summons Ragnarok in its dragon form and has it charge up energy to supercharge him while he condenses the energy from an AC Twilight Rael into a ball. He absorbs the energy from both attacks, overcharging himself with energy. He then reverts Ragnarok back into its sword form and slashes the target across dimensions. He then activates his Ominpotence to figure out where his opponent will appear and teleports there seconds before they reach the area to slash them and send them across more dimensions. He continues to do this until his opponent becomes trapped in a space-time distortion, after which he flies towards them, surpassing his top speed in the process. Once he reaches them, Aeon performs an Iaido with the raw power of Absolute Counter and the explosive force of a Giga Nova. This attack damages Aeon, but tends to annihilate his opponents.

Weapon Mastery-

 * Aeon has mastered all weapons, but holds the highest proficiency with swords and spears.

Power Limitation/Supression-

 * Aeon has the ability to weaken himself to fight an opponent fairly or to supress his power so that he does not stand out.

Ragnarok-

 * Aeon's signature sword and most versatile weapon due to its numerous forms. He acquired it in a parallel universe. It possesses the spirit of a near god-like Dragon. It's forms are, but not limited to:
 * 1) Short Sword
 * 2) Long Sword
 * 3) Mature Long Sword

 * 32) Modified Gauntlets
 * 33) Shuriken
 * 34) Giant Shuriken
 * 35) Jet Board
 * 36) Dragon

Aeon Slayer-

 * A sword crafted by Aeon to defeat him, but...

Omnipotent Sword/Sword of Wood-

 * An odd sword that Aeon came across during his travels. It remains a mystery to him due to its power to both heal and slay. It is the only other weapon that can kill him, but only if its true power is released.

Familiars
Aeon's one familiar is Ragnarok in its dragon form. It is a golden spectral dragon with metallic, spine(spike) like, wings and menacing features that is roughly sky scraper sized when at full length.
