Bayron Berski

== Description ==
Bayron Berksi is a God Shadow and member of House Berski. Born during the Nara period, he became renown as one of the Thirteen Stars, powerful cultivators who spread cultivation across Brinnanth and laid the foundation for the modern Cultivator Society. After the Long Night of Spiritual Darkness, Bayron founded Cultivator Headquarters and assumed the title of Cultivator Commander, giving him supreme authority over all cultivators in the country. He has held the title ever since, due to his innate physique of reincarnation.
Like his sister Bilat, Bayron is viewed as a pillar of the cultivation society, whose existence is pivotal to both the history and structure and organization of cultivator society today. Unlike Bilat, however, he plays an active role in the everyday functions of the world and actively shapes it in function of his vision. He is in direct communication with the Emperor of Brinnanth. Bayron also maintains a complex relationship with the Devil Spirits, in particular Ryoko, where they both try to out-manipulate the other in order to serve their goals without causing a direct confrontation.
Through his many lifetimes, Bayron has played several vital roles in Brinnanthian society, both in cultivator and non-cultivator circles, to the point that it could be said he helped to shape the country into what it is today. He is feared and respected by all of the other higher-ups of cultivator society, including the family leaders and school principals, but his identity remains hidden for most regular cultivators.

Overall Skill Level: As a member of the Berski Family, one of the Thirteen Stars and Commander of Cultivator Headquarters, Bayron is one of the most powerful cultivators in the world, even when compared to others. Already during the Nara period, his reserves of mana were only outclassed by his sisters and the only cultivator who could beat him is The Sovereign, Thana Pendragon. Ever since then, due to his innate physique, Bayron has honed his skills throughout his many lifetimes and has become an incredibly dangerous and diverse combantant.
During the Long Night of Spiritual Darkness, Bayron lead the cultivators that had gathered to fight the Devil Spirits, and showed unwavering leadership and tenacity in battle. Together with Kuzu he was able to defeat one of Shōnō's shikigami, a being powerful enough to destroy a large nation on its own, and even challenge the Devil Spirit himself directly. Though he could not kill the latter, the fact that he was able to keep up for a while in one-on-one combat and live to tell the tale is something that Shōnō considered a once in a generation feat. In every one of his subsequent lives, Bayron has occupied positions of power and influence in Brinnanthian society, to the point it might be accurate to say he is partly responsible for shaping it.
In the current era, not even the combined might of all of the cultivation schools and families except the Huling Lakas Academy would be able to defeat Bayron and take his position of commander, except for Thana Pendragon. Even in the event that Bayron could be defeated and killed, his innate physique would make it so he would only come back stronger and more experienced. This leaves Bayron truly unchallengable as the supreme authority in the cultivation world second only to Thana Pendragon.
Master Swordsman: In addition to his immense levels of mana and variety of techniques, Bayron is and extremely formidable swordsman that can go toe-to-toe with any opponent. He is particularly gifted in iaido, and can finish off large groups of powerful cultivators with just one strike of his sword. Thana believes Bayron could defeat any of the cultivator family heads relying solely on his swordsmanship.

Immense Mana: Bayron possesses vast amounts of mana, enough to last the entire Long Night of Spiritual Darkness without depleting his reserves, fighting alongside his sister who was in possession of the Halo of Unstoppable Mana. As part of the Berski Family, he is one of the pioneers of developing and mastering techniques, and has only improved upon them during his many lifetimes. The mana he possesses exerts a domineering aura on the people around him, invoking images of judgment and fear of punishment should they disobey him. To most cultivators, walking into a room where Bayron is present feels like "the sky is forcing them to their knees". Bayron's mana is so dense that it gives him a natural defense against most techniques: weaker techniques fail outright to penetrate through and powerful ones, are slowed down as they chew through the aura that surrounds him.

=== Innate Physique ===
Five Phase Cycle Physique: Grants Bayron an 'indestructible soul', which every time he dies is transferred to a baby being born at that time in Brinnanth. He will grow up to have the same physical appearance every time, and when he becomes 12 years old, Bayron will instantly regain all of his memories and abilities from his past lives. Whenever he is reincarnated, his soul advances through a cycle of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Depending on what phase his soul is in during that lifetime, Bayron has access to different abilities. Additionally, the phase of his soul influences his personality, his ambitions and the means he employs to get them. Bayron will sometimes wait for another life before moving forward with a certain plan because his current soul would not be adapted to the task.
Cultivator Headquarters is organized so each time after his death, the higher-ups welcome Bayron back as their commander after 12 years of mourning.
Wood Soul: Growing: The soul Bayron was initially born with, which he describes as his "vital essence". In this incarnation, he embodies the idealism and spontaneity that have lead him to the position of his leadership throughout his lifetimes: first as head of the Berski Family, then as Cultivator Commander.
* Dense Mana: Bayron's trademark 'solid' mana originates within this soul, and is empowered during these lifetimes. The aura of energy that he exerts acts like an armor, protecting him from both physical attacks and cursed techniques.
* Massive Speed: Bayron displays overwhelming levels of raw physical speed during this incarnation, more so than in any other phase.
Fire Soul: Expanding: The fire soul is Bayron's most aggressive incarnation, both in power and personality. The lives he lived with his fire soul were always marked by conquest and expansion of his influence and power. His personality is passionate and ruthless, filled with resolve to achieve his goals, but also with plenty of hate and aggression towards his enemies. Bayron had a fire soul during the events and the aftermath of the Long Night of Spiritual Darkness, which contributed to him being ambitious enough to take control over cultivator society.
* Explosive Mana: In his lives with a fire soul, Bayron's mana is noted to be particularly volatile, capable of releasing unpredictable energy bursts whenever he gets excited. Fittingly, when manifested it appears like flames violently lashing out around him.
Earth Soul: Conserving: Bayron's earth soul is defined by tranquility, reflection and stability. After a life spent conquering and fighting, Bayron reincarnates into a life of preserving what was obtained, practicing introspection and strengthening what was already built. For Cultivator Headquarters and the cultivator society at large, these are the years where things move slow, where tradition is honored and no large upsets happen internally. 
* Decelerating Mana: Bayron's mana automatically slows down everything around him.
* Massive Strength: Bayron is at his strongest physically while in this incarnation.
Metal Soul: Declining: While living with his metal soul, Bayron appears cold, rational and calculated. His persona is much more controlling and forceful than his other lives, expressing the belief that the cultivator society needs an authoritarian figure that knows what's best to function and displaying a lack of empathy or care towards his fellow cultivators. Bayron describes his metal soul as being "tempered" throughout his many lives by the flaws and deaths of humans around him, causing it to become completely self-reliant.
* Dry Mana: Bayron's mana leaves a sensation of cold dryness in his surroundings. His chamber where he receives guests in Cultivator Headquarters has been described as a "cold desert" during these periods, where visitors feel like they're being "mummified alive".
Water Soul: Hiding: Not much is known about Bayron's lives with his water soul, except for that he takes the least active role as a Cultivator Commander during this incarnation, leaving most of the decisions to the Higher Council. Those who have encountered Bayron during one of his lives as a water soul describe it as a "demonic experience", stating he is more similar to a devil than a cultivator.
* Spikey Mana: Bayron's mana has a special feel, Bayron's mana feels spikey, this aids him in battle and makes punches and black flashes feel stronger and deal more damage. 
Avatar of the Stars And Planet: By revealing the True Essence of his soul, Bayron harnesses the power of all of his previous lives into his body at once. Given that he has at least lived 1000 lives, the technique gives him an immense increase in his mana. Bayron's appearance also transforms: he gains black markings on his face and body, his hair becomes a pure white and his eyes become golden.
