Personal StatusStatusAliveRelationshipsUnknown​Durante O'phin or simply, Dante. Known as Ahriman to the CJA; Dante is a member of the all-Joker organization, Lierre. He is a top leading researcher for the organization as well as a former  professor and instructor at Korvak's Joker instructional academy. ​ Personality Dante is a very free spirited individual, being care free and nonchalant about most things as he believes stressing over things to a large degree makes it worse. He tends to be very open to people and expresses himself through positive displays. He always tries to maintain and positive outward disposition in order to appear as such to his cohorts and in an effort to not bring down his comrades. He is also noted as having a dark and vindictive side he hides from others and is rarely ever seen. History Dante was born in the slums of the Superbian outskirts, born to a blue collar working class parents. He spent much of his childhood either going to school or doing odd-jobs in order to provide for his family. He was able to land a job as an attendant at an estate outside of town for a wealthy Mage family, the Branderoth. During his time there, he was ostracized quite heavily for his commoner upbringing, often being completely ignored by most of the family and even locked into other rooms during gatherings, only to be let out in order to serve guests. However, he became very close with the daughter of the family, Emilia Branderoth. When he was at the estate, she always greeted him with open arms and always treated with kindness and appreciation. While staying at the estate to service guests at a meeting being held there, Durante was witness to a surprise raid on the mansion. Many men had broken down the door and broken through the windows of the housing and attacked and killed many guests. He ran to find Emilia but could only find her father holding her while she bled in his arms. He turned to see Dante and pulled him close. He told Dante to sit still as he performed a ritual in the spot that caused Dante to blackout. He woke up hours later to find himself outside of the estate. Dante had got up and peered through the trees to find that the entire mansion had been secured by a group called the CJA. After witnessing this, he had ran home to his parents who were worried sick about him after hearing of a fight at the manor. Many weeks after the attack, Dante started noticing strange things about himself; such as the release of energies such as Od or the usage of Mana. His parents noticing this as well gained a fear for there son as the CJA would notice him. They then decided it would be the best course of action to abandon there child all together in order to avoid any confrontation. In doing this, Dante had gained a hatred for people and went on to support multiple Joker supremacy groups before settling with Lierre, learning about Magecraft along with way.  Powers Magecraft Throughout the many years he dealt with his newly acquired abilities through his Magic Crest, Dante has acutely studied and researched many minute details that came along with the ability to use Mana and Od leading to him gaining a great knowledge over the subject. As his experiences and lessons through life have added up, they allowed him to gain a greater grasp over the nature of his potential and access many aspects of magecraft. Branderoth Magic Crest The Branderoth mage clan is a family of noteworthy position within the Magus community. They are able to trace there lineage back hundreds of years to other mage clans and as such have inherited very powerful magecraft through there Magic Crest. As with the case that Dante went through, the implementation of a Magic Crest in a non-blood related host in such a short span of time can result in severe damage or even death to the transplantee; however, Dante's body was found roughly compatible with the Crest and was sufficient enough in survival to take it even though for many years after, the after-effects of the Crest's sudden implementation lead to crippling migraines and even full-on aneurysms in some cases. To this day, Dante faces daily headaches even after years of becoming accustom to the Crest. The implementation of the crest ended up awakening Dante's own potential as a Magus as it was dormant due to his families inability to manipulate mana or Od. Dante sees the Crest, even with his severe discomfort caused by it, a great asset and it's power to be far too great to be rid of. It's power allows him to utilize magic not even many modern day Magus can even dream of using, however due to the speedy transplant of the crest into Dante, the crest itself is incomplete and does not possess all the magical energy that the Branderoth family has gained over the many centuries of their existence; something which Dante has spent years researching in order to fix. Even in an incomplete state however, it still commands a great deal of power, far more so than any average or even experienced Magus.  Origin An origin is the very definition for which one exists, the essence of their mind, body, and soul. Awakening one's Origin is a task that could elevate the status of a Magus and increase their ability many fold and as such it has become a mission for many to do so; however, it it difficult and not all are capable of doing so. After many years of research and findings; Dante is capable of using his Origin.Mourning, this Origin is manifested through the born act of fateful regret that Dante suffers for his very existence, it takes on the form of a black ribbon which Dante is never seen without. The ribbon is said to possess the tears and blood of Emilia Branderoth which manifest in several different ways; one of the most often seen is as as conceptual weapon known as Tristesse. Once active, Dante manifests his Origin within the ribbon by soaking it in his blood and it becomes Tristesse. It causes the ribbon to act more like a whip in physical action; taking on it's weight and lengthy properties. Anyone struck by Tristesse will steadily feel greater amounts of grief from all the sorrow and anguish in their lives that if they are struck too many times, no matter the intensity, that they will completely lose the will to fight. Branches of the World Throughout Dante's intense study of magecraft and the magical world at large, he discovered a conceptual connection between others worlds known as Yggdrasil or the World Tree. This connection originally thought only to bridge the many worlds together is actually the entirety of the world itself with it's branches capable of not only reaching into other worlds but also into people as well. This gives Dante an unaltered view of not only the physical world but also that of the conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings of individuals as well as the their very soul. Dante is able to manipulate a phenomenon known as the "Branches of The World" where in is a concept that all things are connected in some form or fashion.There are multiple levels of branches that scour the world at which each level is more numerous and potent then the last. Branches of Astrea The Branches of Astrea are the most basic connections that Yggdrasil is capable of making, however they are also the least powerful and least numerous. They are the physical connection that Yggdrasil has to Astrea and as such act as mediators between the physical world to all the others. The Physical branch can be manipulated in all sorts of ways limited only by the fact that the universe only exists in three physical dimensions. As being connected throughout Astrea, these branches are the source of life for all existing forms of vegetation on the planet and are capable of being manipulated down from the smallest organisms to entire fields and small forests in a multitude of ways. This also allows Dante manipulation over the Earth itself, being able to shift land forms in varying ways to create differing structures as the branches take hold of Astrea itself.Flora Manipulation - The Branches of Astrea allow Dante to manipulate all kinda of vegetation that is born from the Earth. Ranging from small micro-organisms to entire root systems and even small forests. The extent to which Dante is capable of using it is only limited by the amount of Mana or Od he is capable of producing.Earth Manipulation - The Branches allow Dante to shift and reform the Earth to his whim, how much he is capable of manipulating is a bit more costly then the control he would have over plant life due to the Earth being far harder to manipulate.  Branches of Akasha The Branches of Akasha are the second connection Yggdrasil is capable of making, they are numerous in number but number far less then the Branches of Astrea. These are the branches that connect the consciousness and spirit of all sentient beings to the Akashic Records. To reach these branches, Dante must exert much more mana but at the cost of doing so. He is capable of manipulating the minds of others through manners of control such as; illusion or memory alteration. Depending on how he wishes on changing something, the more mana he has to expend in order to do so.Illusion Casting - Dante it able to control the worldview of others through using the Branches of Akasha, making them witness things that only exist in their minds and becomes subject to them.Memory Alteration - The Branches of Akasha also allow Dante to control the memories of others, sending experiences he wishes for them in as surrogates of others or to even be able to erase them completely, though depending on the emotional strength of said memory, at a great cost of mana. Branches of The World The Branches of The World are the least numerous of Yggdrasil's Branches and as such are the most difficult to control, in fact it is so difficult that it takes up 99% of Dante's Od to be able to use a single Branch. The Branches of The World are the Branches that connect space-time of all the different worlds together. However, with these branches, Dante is capable of manipulating space-time down to it's finest aspect. warping time and space to his very whim. He is able to control the flow of time as well as the existence of space, but as stated previously, doing this consumes the mass of his Od and as such is only capable of doing it once over a long period of time and not consistently.<img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22category%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BCategory%3AAbbadon%20the%20Destroyer%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="905339-1049297955d0c27fb20d78" class="placeholder placeholder-category" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="category" /><img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22category%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BCategory%3AJoker%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="905339-1049297955d0c27fb20d78" class="placeholder placeholder-category" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="category" /><img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22category%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BCategory%3AMale%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="905339-1049297955d0c27fb20d78" class="placeholder placeholder-category" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="category" /><img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22category%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BCategory%3ADark%20Nights%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="905339-1049297955d0c27fb20d78" class="placeholder placeholder-category" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="category" /><img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22category%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BCategory%3ALierre%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="905339-1049297955d0c27fb20d78" class="placeholder placeholder-category" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="category" /><img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22category%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BCategory%3AMagus%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="905339-1049297955d0c27fb20d78" class="placeholder placeholder-category" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="category" />
