Supergroups

  • Hyperion Force - After coming to Paragon, Axel quickly took notice of a group made entirely of people with gifts that exceeded anything the Nahj'arans had seen in humans during their time. He quickly made to ally himself with these noble beings as soon as he could, forging himself an alliance with one of the cities premier superhero teams.([1])

Allys and Friends

Axel's young and curious Goddaughter, Zephyr has provided no shortage of headaches for Axel after their reunion, though he has recognized great potential in her, her stubbornness and reckless behaviors have lent to his trials during their quest, though through it all he still cares for her as one of his own.

The Executive Officer of the Hyperion Force, while respected by Axel for her exceeding kindness and grace, he also recognizes her as a formidable warrior and a growing leader. While he does recognize some flaws in her, he sees her growing into her own kind of leader. She is a great friend to all who know her, Axel included

Close ally's and friends of Axel, Recognizing both as great warriors and kind souls, He has come to respect and even admire their love as a refreshing contrast to what he sees as the decaying state of the society he has come to know as home. He currently serves under Moira as her assistant in the Magical Department of Hyperion Force

A young and awkward teenager, Axel considers her a relieving presence within Hyperion Force, though she is distant and reserved at times, her desire to help others, even in the most menial tasks, has earned her Axel's respect.

Axel's dim and fairly useless pet Liger, Animated to life during Axel's initial stages of awakening, a burst of magical energy overflowed from his body, animating the creature from a lone High School kid's notebook. Though the creature is tame and too dim to do most basic tasks, Axel has taken sympathy on the creature and allows it to stay with him...mostly because he hasn't been able to find a way to put it out of it's miserable existence.

A long-time Bartender of "They Eye", Having met Axel when he saved her from a back-alley mugging, she got Axel his current job as Head Bouncer for "The Eye" While awkward and timid, she can be very social and outgoing once she gets behind the counter. While she has deep feelings for Axel, her awareness of his situation combined with his distant nature prevent her from pursuing them.

Enemies

  • Circle of Thorns

The Circle of Thorns have tried time and time again to obtain the essence that makes up Axel's core being. Seeing him as a powerful source of magical energy, they aim to use Axel to strengthen their own powers. In turn, Axel see's the Circle of Thorns as amateur mages who seek to do nothing with their power but destroy everything around them to further their own greed-fueled desires.

  • Banished Pantheon

Perceived by Axel as some of the greatest betrayers to Humanity for summoning Mot back into the world. Axel has vowed to make sure every single human, spirit and creature serving under the Pantheon's banner suffers for every creature they have hurt and every abomination they have brought into the world.


Physical Description

Towering at 7'3",referring to Axel as a "Mountain of a man." is hardly a stretch. His proud stature and massive frame do nothing but accentuate his towering height, while his pale blonde hair and dark skin show an exotic heritage, unfamiliar to most people of this time. His face has a single scar running down over his right eye, the eye itself a pure white, the other remaining its original Ice Blue.


Powers

  • Natural Abilities

Being a Nahj'aran, Axel's power over Earth and Flame are based entirely on how strongly he has attuned himself to the essence of his elements. Currently, Axel has managed to exceed the power of his predecessors with the guidance of the Goddess; Nahj'Ra and the Well of Furies. He is capable of performing a wide variety of tasks by imposing his will on the earth and creating flame from his own being. His physical capabilities are also impressive as he has far superior levels of strength and durability compared to those of his human counterparts.

  • Skills

Axel formerly served as the Head of the Nahj'aran Guard, the elite military force of the Island, as such, Axel has considerable skill in Swordsmanship and Close-Quarter Combat. While Serving in the Guard Axel also pursued the crafts of Smithing and Glassblowing, becoming a well-regarded Artisan in both fields.


Equipment

Flameborne Armor

The Armor of the Flameborne Tribe, Forged by the greatest smiths of the time, it provides Axel with enough protection to push him through the harsher attacks of his enemies, as well as protect the wearer from the harshest heat and the bitterest cold. Though it can still be broken and worn down, the more use it gets in battle and the more it is repaired and re-forged, the stronger it becomes.

The Champion Mantel

the Flameborne's Champion Mantel; A hood and cape that are worn by those who have earned the title of Champion among their tribe. This Mantel is said to protect the wearer from mental fatigue, allowing for the sharpest concentration even under the worst strain, it also grants the wearer some level of stealth cloaking, allowing them a preemptive attack against their target.

  • Axel's favorite music is Metal/Industrial
  • Axel's Theme song is "Sonne" by Rammstein
