Timaias Adama

==Summary==
Timaias Adama is the Sage of Endless Sword and just one amongst two others who claim the title of Sword Sage for having also manifested the Sword Icon. He is known widely across all of Cradle from the Blackflame Empire on the Ashwind Continent all the way to the Ninecloud Court an entire ocean away due to his nomadic lifestyle and his position as a finalist in the Uncrowned King Tournament.
While traversing a land left desolate by the Bleeding Phoenix, Adama comes across Yerin struggling to resist one of the Phoenix's Bloodshadows as it attempts to bore into her soul. Her display of sheer willpower and determination moves the Sword Sage to take her in as his daughter and train her in his Path of the Endless Sword. He seals the shadow within her as a temporary measure as they travel alongside each other to find a means of permanently separating the shadow from the parts of her soul it had managed to anchor itself to- leading to his investigation into the curse of Sacred Valley and his eventual demise while weakened under it's effects.

Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level, higher with Flowing Sword & Final Sword (Easily comparable to other Sages who possess 1/12th the output of a single Monarch17.4 Exatons and the Flowing Sword continuously increases the power of his strikes over time while the Final Sword is simply a combination of all his techniques including the Flowing Sword)
Speed: At most Relativistic+ (Kept up with and fought a monarch even prior to becoming a Sage while Monarchs themselves are so fast anything short of teleportation is slow to them including the speed of the Weeping Dragons Breath64% SoL)
Lifting Strength: Class G (Vastly superior to Akura Mercy who threw her mother Akura Malice while she was in her armor which is large enough to dwarf mountains and weights this much9.712e9 Kg)
Striking Strength: Multi-Continent level, higher with Flowing Sword (Comparable to his attack potency and the Flowing Sword increases his striking power over time)
Durability: Multi-Continent level (Comparable to other Sages who can withstand attacks from Heralds)
Stamina: Superhuman (Iron bodies inherently make it harder for Sacred Artists to recognize physical fatigue so they can exert themselves far beyond their natural limits, Sages are comparable to heralds who can engage in combat with those much stronger than themselves for hours at a time and with the Sword Icon Adama can keep fighting irrespective of pain of any kind whether it afflicts the body or the soul), Infinite with Authority (Willpower is not finite like an energy such that it can be sustained as long as the user can focus)
Range: Tens of Kilometers (Comparable to Yerin, who in a simple display intended as a greeting could pierce beyond the clouds with her techniques as well as slice clouds apart with the air pressure of her swings alone) and Interdimensional with Authority (Sages are able to reach past physical reality with his willpower as well as traveling between dimensions)
Standard Equipment:
*Wintersteel Blade: A blade gifted to Adama by his betrothed the Sage of Winter Blade, Min Shuei, which creates a boundary field of ice and sword madra that freezes everything in an area while also releasing floating snowflakes which release tens of thousands of slashing attacks and inducing a level of cold that halts even the motion of particles like electrons.

Intelligence: Average usually, Extraordinary Genius in combat
Adama possesses a great deal of personal skill to such an extent that his student Yerin's swordsmanship at the level of a Lowgold can leave Highgold stage sword artists like Cassias in such awe that he wishes to record his memory of her swordsmanship despite the fact that Cassias himself is a genius of the Arelius family who has won every competition he has ever entered. Like all sword artists Adama has the propensity to learn as he fights and evolve through combat which leads to him regularly advancing by fighting other sword artists such as when he advanced to Overlord by fighting other sword artists across various stages of advancement, even overlords themselves, and when he became a Sword Sage after he fought a Monarch on a sword path without being obliterated.
Adama has analyzed the swordsmanship of the various sword artists he fought over the years and even taught Yerin how to copy techniques to a much greater extent with just sight alone without even knowing how they work to begin with. Using this skill Yerin managed to copy and adapt an inferior version of Ozriel's Reaper Slash, a scythe based technique that would completely obliterate the entire universe of Cradle and carries various esoteric abilities like fate manipulation. Yerin herself was already skilled enough to instantly copy sword techniques on sight and even assimilate the sword codex, a dream tablet containing thousands of sword techniques from various sword artists at different levels of advancement gifted to her in the Uncrowned kings tournament which was comparable to Adama's own gift from his time in the tournament, a dream tablet of a heavenly messenger swinging their sword
The instinctive level of skill which Adama possesses is likened by Yerin, who inherited it from his remnant, to a sensation of "Perfect Awareness" which allowed her to develop various forms of precognition ranging from sensing changes in an opponents soul to gain a sense of their movements in advance to subconsciously reading approaching hostility to react to danger in advance. This instinctive skill is so great that Adama can compare to the precognition of an Arelius like Eithan who uses their bloodline limits ability that draws on surrounding information to analyze intention, muscle movement, breathing, the buildup of power, the strength and nature of souls as well as various other factors with such precision that he can move between the gaps in simultaneous area of effect attacks from multiple opponents
Adama's greatest achievement as a sword artist is his manifestation of the sword Icon, the concept of cutting, which required him to become an embodiment of swordsmanship beyond the reach of mankind by a the measure of something deeper. While drawing on the Sword Icons Adama's attacks will cut through anything without resistance and while in combat he enters a dream-like state where pain of any kind will not hinder him in which the Sword Icon itself guides him by granting him information of an opponents attacks and how to counter them as it naturally directs him to their weak points. Using the information granted to him by the Sword Icon Adama's precognition reaches a stage where it outright outpaces even the calculation based precognition of Dross who can create 100% accurate predictive models of opponents and simulate events across all reasonable permutation.
Standard Tactics: When facing less skilled opponents who are not weapon masters themselves Adama will aim to end a fight as quickly as possible by immediately firing off his Final Sword Technique if not simply using his spiritual pressure alone but due to the fact that he values his own personal growth above all else he's prone to willingly restricting himself in moments of heightened danger or against other swordsmen he deems skilled enough to facilitate his growth which is why he doesn't use his spiritual pressure against spiritually weaker but notably skilled sword artists at lower stages of advancement than him
Weaknesses: Adama values his own growth as a swordsman to the exclusion of all else and because of this he is likely to willingly restrict himself somewhat when facing off skilled enough opponents or in situations he thinks will facilitate that growth
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Path of the Endless Sword: Adama's pure sword path allows him to utilize sword madra and manipulate sword aura which also forms a component of all his technique because they are all part-ruler techniques.
* Rippling Sword: Adama swings his sword forward while projecting a crescent blade of madra and aura which expands in length as it flies through the air.
* Flowing Sword: Adama enforcers his blade with a technique of madra and aura which enhances his sword strikes while continuously drawing more aura from the atmosphere to make each subsequent strike stronger than the last.
* Hidden Sword: Adama forges his madra into a solid invisible blade which he can directly using aura and imbue with his own living will to grant the sword homing properties that will not disappear until a target is dead or the technique itself is broken.
* Endless Sword: Adama induces a resonance in the sword aura around him, agitating it, to cause any and all sharp objects in range to release thousands upon thousands of slashing attacks and with enough madra put into it the technique can further develop into a cascade which will propagate outward continuously. While the technique is good for indiscriminate destruction Adama has complete control over it with such precision that he can cut a page out from a closed book, his sword aura is everywhere within range at all times and he can release controlled slashes from an enemies own blade or even from within their body.
* Final Sword: A combination of all other techniques on his path where Adama forges a massive spectral impression over his blade, layered with energy from the rippling sword, empowered by the flowing sword pushed to the extreme and covered with a storm of the endless sword.
Sword Icon: The Archetypal concept of cutting, swords and swordsmanship manifested by Adama after he became an embodiment of swordsmanship at a measure of something deeper , granting him various abilities achieved through changing the way the world works in accordance with his Icon.
* Durability Negation: While drawing on the Sword Icons Authority Adama can imbue his strikes and even techniques with the ability to cut through anything without resistance allowing him to easily damage opponents irrespective of their raw power.
* Guidance: During combat the sword Icon guides Adama's actions by providing him with information about an opponents attacks and exactly how to counter them while also naturally guiding him towards an opponents weak points.
* Dream-like State: By drawing on the Sword Icon Adama enters a state of pure calm, like that of a dream, where his movements are dictated through pure instinct without any conscious thought and he's unable to feel any pain in either his body or soul that would otherwise hinder his ability to fight
* Cutting Authority: The Sword Icon grants Adama authority over cutting allowing him to cut through space, space-time and reality itself akin to how a Herald would.
