Aurelius Lyons

Prince Aurelius Michel Lucius Pendragon Lyons is a French-British prince, knight, magus, sentinel, a graduate of Bastion Academy, a former agent of the Stalwart Organization, and is a former officer in the United Nations Army, and was considered one of Earth's greatest heroes and amongst the greatest knights and sentinels. Aurelius was a member of several knight orders including the Knights of the Round Table, the 12 Paladins of Charlemagne, Teutonic Knights, and the Order of Holy Knights.
Aurelius was born in the commune of Versailles to Nicolas Lyons and Victoria Pendragon-Lyons. Aurelius' father's side the Lyons, were the a lineage of famous knights whose founder, Noctis, was a great hero in the Apocalypse war, and his father was the Dauphin of France. Aurelius' mother's side was the Pendragons, the rulers of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Avalon with Victoria being the second child of King Arthur Pendragon, Queen Guinevere, and Morgan le Fey.
From a young age, Aurelius wished to be a knight and sentinel, a protector of the innocent and champion of justice. Despite his talent and willingness to train, his parents were wary of allowing him to train because of his sickly constitution. When Aurelius was seven years old, he ran away from home during a trip to Rome to try his hand at being a hero. Aurelius eventually reached Monte Sant'Angelo and was taken in by a Church run orphanage, posing as an orphan displaced by a recent monster attack. Aurelius lived in the orphanage for several days, being cared for by the Matron, Paola, and becoming friends with another boy named Lorenzo Baroli.
Within weeks of his arrival there, Monte Sant'Angelo was attacked by an invading demonic army. Being nothing more than a child, Aurelius was unable to save anyone, and the area was brutally destroyed and the majority of the people being slaughtered. Aurelius and the rest of the orphans were taken into the Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo for safety. The sanctuary was broken into by the invading demons who were lead by an armored demonic angel. Fearing that the demons would slaughter everyone, Aurelius broke from the group to lead the demons away. While successful in his efforts, Aurelius was mortally wounded in the process and fell into an underground cavern which sealed itself, keeping the soldiers away. A dying Aurelius accidentally triggered a bounded field, unintentionally disturbing the seal that locked away Saint Michael & Lucifer. The spirits of the Heavenly Twins found refuge inside of Aurelius, bringing him back from the brink of death. Aurelius would then be found by Merlin Emrys and a wandering sentinel named Corbyn Griffith who had arrived there with the Neo Holy Roman Empire's army. Merlin realizing what happened put several restrictions on Aurelius to prevent his body and soul being overwhelmed by the spirits he had absorbed into himself. The duo then brought Aurelius back to his home.
Despite the horrors that he saw in the tragedy, Aurelius' drive to protect others was only emboldened, and he was determined to bring the perpetrators of the disaster to justice, having seen the face of the leader of the army. Seeing that he wouldn't be swayed and that he was much stronger than they thought, Aurelius' parents finally allowed him to train under Corbyn. 
When he turned 18, Aurelius would begin attending Bastion Academy to be a Sentinel. Around this time, Aurelius discovered the presence of Michael and Lucifer within him. As such, Aurelius also had the souls of the greatest angel and the greatest demon within him. Although wary of their existence, the two actually served as mentors for Aurelius and allowed him to use powerful angelic and demonic abilities. At Bastion, Aurelius would become the leader of Squad Alpha, which quickly became the top performing squad in the school.
Aurelius would have many adventures across the world and be part of a secret war against the new Demon Queen, Ayin, who sought to create a new Apocalypse War to wipe the world's slate clean so she could access the Source, allowing her to create a new world that fit her vision of a perfect utopia. Despite agreeing on some level with Ayin's vision of the future, Aurelius opposed her methods and would help lead the charge against her, prevailing after a long period of war. Through his efforts, Aurelius would become a worthy hero, being considered one of the greatest in the world for his actions.
Thanks to time travel, Aurelius was two legendary heroes of Earth's past, the Guardian and the Luminary, the former being the hero who sacrificed himself to seal Ayin away the first time she menaced the world and the second being the hero who saved the world after the First Apocalypse War and led the world into the current era.
==Biography==
===Birth===
Aurelius Lyons was born in the commune of Versailles, France on August 2nd, 1060. Aurelius was the son of Nicolas Lyons and Victoria Pendragon-Lyons, as their tenth child alongside his triplet siblings, Helena and Amber, and he was the third son over all. On his father's side, Aurelius was a descent of the Lyons family who were a legendary line of knights and sentinels since the Apocalypse War and his paternal grandfather, Charles, was the King of France and current Holy Roman Emperor. Aurelius' maternal family was the Pendragon family, the rulers of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Avalon. Through magic, Aurelius' mother was born from three parents, her father King Arthur Pendragon and two mothers, Guinevere of Cameliard and Morgan le Fay so as to serve as the proper heir of both kingdoms. As such Aurelius was the prince of two great kingdoms.
Aurelius was born very sickly, much more so than his perfectly healthy sisters. Although the doctors were able to temporarily keep him alive, Aurelius was still very ill and it was apparent that he would soon die. Aurelius' godfather, Merlin, grandmother, Morgan le Fey, and aunt, Bridget, began administering healing magic to him regularly to keep him alive. Eventually the three put Aurelius through a ritual similar to the healing coma that Arthur went through.
As a result of the healing coma, Aurelius developed regenerative healing powers similar to what his grandfather's scabbard imbued him. This healing factor made it so that Aurelius reached a state of perfect health. Although no longer in danger of death and no longer different from any other child, Aurelius' family became very overprotective of him wanting to keep him safe from all dangers.
A few weeks after he was born, Helena, Aurelius, and Amber were baptized in Notre Dame de Paris by Pope Alexander X.
===Childhood===
Aurelius grew up with many siblings and had a very happy childhood. Despite the many, many siblings that he had, Aurelius did not feel overwhelmed and was on good terms with all of them. Aurelius also spent a lot of time with his other relatives and close with most of family members.
As a prince of France and Britain, Aurelius had spent a lot of time traveling. Aurelius was primarily raised in the Palace of Versailles and spent most of his time there, though he also often lived in Camelot with his grandparents Arthur and Guinevere for large parts of the year. Aurelius often visited Avalon and stayed with his grandmother Morgan. Aurelius and his family also frequently visited Rome thanks to their piety and were honored guests of the Papal court.
Aurelius was enamored by the knights of his homelands. Because he was the tenth child and not being raised to rule, Aurelius wished to be a knight. Despite his wish, Aurelius' parents refused to train him because of his illness, instead wanting him to be safe and simply live as a prince or to find an alternative career, particularly hoping that he would become a doctor.

=== General Personality===
Aurelius was a kind, altruistic, chivalrous, friendly, and extroverted man who tried to live by the virtues of a true hero, ideal knight, and honorable prince. Aurelius was loyal to a fault and would do anything for those he considered his friends and family. Aurelius was dedicated to protecting the innocent from harm and bringing peace, justice, and happiness to the world. Despite being a royal, Aurelius disliked formality and preferred being much more casual. In most circumstances, Aurelius acted cheerful and exuberant and his natural expression was that of a warm, cheerful, and welcoming smile. Despite his preference for being informal, Aurelius took his duties as a knight and sentinel very seriously. While not opposed to some light fun or games while on missions, when things were serious, Aurelius became much more solemn and professional, displaying little tolerance for any horsing around. Similarly, when doing his duties as a prince, Aurelius was much more formal and acted as he was raised and expected to. Aurelius was someone who preferred being frank and straightforward, being quite sincere and honest. While on the surface Aurelius was someone who appeared to be the living embodiment of a knight in shining armor and Prince Charming, he could also be quite dorky, somewhat socially awkward, a tad ditzy, goofy, and slightly mischievous and has also shown the capability of being pragmatic, temperamental, obsessive, hypocritical, callous, ruthless, or even brutal when needed. Aurelius increasingly became more jaded and cynical as time went on, however, he remained steadfast in his ideals and remained dedicated to true justice and helping others. As Aurelius grew and matured, he became a rare individual who was completely pure of heart, someone who was completely sure of their path, goals, and identity and unable to be turned away from them. Aurelius was someone who embodied righteousness, determination, and valor.
Aurelius was extremely charismatic, having a charm that people couldn't help but notice, and people tended to hear him out whenever he spoke. Aurelius had a natural magnetism that drew people to him, and it was refined by his training as both a prince and knight. While others perceived Aurelius as a complete paragon, the perfect knight, and the ideal prince, those closer to him saw his ditzier and more awkward sides. Despite his occasional moments of awkwardness, Aurelius was still very charming, with those moments only making him seem more approachable to most people, as it proved that he wasn't perfect, and it even added to his charm somewhat. Aurelius' friends considered him "adorkable," and his somewhat dorky and ditzy nature was considered very endearing. While Aurelius certainly had his share of enemies and people who disliked him, most people couldn't help but like him at least a little bit, and he inspired respect even from some of his biggest enemies. Aurelius had an uncanny ability to bring people together and get them to get along no matter their differences. Aurelius' charisma would be crystalized in the Art known as Royal Authority. While this ability was not the source of his charisma, it was the ultimate endpoint of it.
Aurelius was not easily embarrassed about most things and would willingly put himself into embarrassing or awkward situations for the sake of his friends. Aurelius had a good sense of humor and would roll with the punches when a joke was at his expense, often finding it humorous himself. Aurelius privately joked that he might have been the universe's punching bag, though he took it all in stride. Despite his royal birth, Aurelius and his friends joked that he seemed to lack most of the dignity and self-respect that someone of that station had, and he acted more like a common knight than a prince, though he was still quite graceful. Aurelius was also not squeamish at all, having no problems with being covered in blood or wading through mud or even sewage, though he still found it unpleasant and tried to avoid such things when he could.
Aurelius was a magnet for trouble and weirdness, which he blamed on his, at times, atrocious luck. Aurelius constantly found himself in strange or dangerous scenarios that most people could never even dream of, sometimes only prevailing by the skin of his teeth. Aurelius didn't go seeking out for these bizarre happenings; they simply happened to him despite his best efforts to avoid them and he often found himself swept up in them despite how confused, annoyed, or exasperated he was. Aurelius and his friends have noted that whenever he does something, the worst-case scenario will occur, but he will still accomplish the best results possible despite that. It also wasn't uncommon for destruction to follow him, though he always did his best to avoid that destruction or fix it when it occurred. Both Headmaster Henkel and Zeus stated that Aurelius had the true luck of a hero; bad enough to constantly get him into trouble but always phenomenal when it needs to be.
While Aurelius was a very mature person and was always completely serious when dealing with important matters, he could also be quite childlike or even immature at times. Aurelius' sense of humor, some of his interests and hobbies, his sense of wonder, the purity of his soul, how sweet he often was even to strangers, his trust, easygoing and upbeat nature, immense kindness and compassion, some of his beliefs and values, and some of his mannerisms mark him as mildly childish. Even as he grew older, he retained some of his childish traits, though he was still a very mature and fully realized knight. Aurelius was often compared to animals, particularly dogs, wolves, lions, rabbits, and dragons. Aurelius' general demeanor was often compared to that of a golden retriever, though his courage, fierceness in battle, and his focus on family and unity made others call him a lion, dragon, or wolf. Aurelius' sometimes nervous nature, habit of worrying over others, and cuteness caused others to jokingly refer to him as a rabbit, particularly because of his fondness for the creatures.
In most situations, Aurelius was much more casual than a prince was expected to act. Aurelius personally disliked using titles (though always referred to others by their preferred titles out of politeness), spoke like any other person would, and could even be described as being a little carefree. While Aurelius had a habit of somewhat flowery or antiquated language and was very well-spoken, he otherwise acted like a regular person and often spoke casually. When working as a knight or sentinel, Aurelius became much more serious and spoke semi-formally and concisely. Aurelius was trained in the way of a knight by some of the greatest knights in history and they taught him how to be a proper knight both in terms of combat ability, his manner of speech, and how he carried himself. When doing his duties as a prince, Aurelius spoke much more formally and acted as the perfect prince and was more reserved, yet remained approachable and warm. Aurelius spoke much more formally and engaged in purple prose, something ingrained in him by extensive etiquette training. While Aurelius was royalty and had lots of experience with the upper crust and most prestigious and powerful people in the world, it is clear that it is not something that he enjoys and that he finds it tiresome and boring. Aurelius hated formality and he would much rather spend his time having adventures, training, or helping people. If given the option between attending a gala or fighting in a muddy trench, Aurelius would almost certainly prefer the trench.
Aurelius had a few character tics that appeared often. Whenever Aurelius was nervous or embarrassed, he tended to rub the back of his head, usually accompanied by a sheepish expression and nervous laughter. When stressed, Aurelius tended to bite his lower lip or clench his fists. When greatly annoyed, Aurelius' right eye tended to twitch and he had a frown on his face. When exasperated, Aurelius would heavily sigh and pinch the bridge of his nose, usually shaking his head slowly and muttering at the same time. When Aurelius was formulating a plan, he tended to stare off into space while rapidly muttering to himself, holding his hand to his chin, and tapping his foot on the ground. Aurelius tended to reply to people with the words "as you wish," "as you say," or variations of those phrases in conversation. Aurelius had a habit of saying "devil take you" when annoyed by someone. When feeling especially smug or sardonic, Aurelius tended to half lid his eyes, grin audaciously, and sardonically repeat the words "my, my" or "oh my" in a somewhat mocking fashion. When writing, Aurelius tended to fiddle with his pen or pencil, usually twirling it in his hand. Aurelius notably seemed to prefer sitting with one leg crossed over the other when he didn't have to sit properly. Aurelius also had a habit of apologizing for things frequently, even if it wasn't his fault or there wasn't anything to apologize for. Whenever Aurelius made a promise he tended to add the phrase "Lyons promise" or variations of it. Whenever Aurelius spoke about something he was interested in or otherwise a fan of, he tended to fanboy over it and would ramble about it while smiling greatly, referring to them as "cool" or "awesome." On a related note, Aurelius got very embarrassed when he realized that he went on such a tangent and would apologize while blushing, though others typically found that habit to be adorable. Aurelius would also ramble and stutter when he was very embarrassed or nervous, though this lessened as he grew older and others had to stop his babbling. When in a conversation, Aurelius tended to repeat the last the last thing the person he was speaking to questioningly, both to prompt for more information and to indicate his interest in the subject at hand. Aurelius also had a habit of speaking to himself when thinking. When speaking to Michael and Lucifer, Aurelius tended to stare off into space to focus on the conversation inside his mind. Aurelius occasionally used phrases and words from French in his speech. Aurelius also had a habit of quoting the Bible often and he tended to make references to media he liked. As a result of the Tragedy of Monte Sant'Angelo, Aurelius had a great respect for fire safety. Aurelius was not afraid of fire, but he became much more careful around open flames. Aurelius took fire safety very seriously and admonished those who didn't practice it properly. Aurelius has also been shown repeatedly to be terrible at giving names to things, much to his embarrassment.
Aurelius was respectful and polite to nearly everyone he met. Aurelius never insulted someone without reason, and even when he had a reason to, he rarely actually resorted to leveling insults. While Aurelius did enjoy teasing his friends and knew how to push their buttons, he was careful not to go too far and always prodded in a way that showed he meant no harm and had no real sting to it. While Aurelius disliked the habit, he would taunt his enemies during battle when he needed to catch their attention or throw them off their guard. Aurelius found the practice rather unbecoming of a knight and disrespectful, but he acknowledged that sometimes it was important to get whatever advantage was possible. While he disliked insulting other people, Aurelius tended to insult himself heavily and harshly. Aurelius tried to be polite at every opportunity and tried to display good manners at all times. Despite his politeness and his preference for sincerity, Aurelius could be quite sarcastic but rarely was actually rude about it. Aurelius tended to be more sarcastic with those he was close to, often trading barbs with his siblings, friends, and Corbyn, and even then that was always in jest. Even when outright insulting someone, it was typically layered in a way that would still sound (mostly) polite. Aurelius could also be innocently insensitive and had a slight habit of putting his foot in his mouth, but he always apologized when he caught on. There are a few situations and people that have made Aurelius angry enough to actually insult them, with those people usually being the most heinous or annoying people he had ever met (along with some of his friends, such as Corbyn and Sétanta). When Aurelius didn't like someone but was trying to be polite, he often fell into passive aggressive behavior such as sarcasm, backhanded compliments, or thinly veiled insults (such as with most his arguments with Dimitri, with both feigning civility but often subtly insulting each other behind smiles).
While not really opposed to profanity, Aurelius tended to avoid swearing as a general rule, aside from light swears like "hell," "damn," "crap," "ass/arse," or "bloody" and any variation thereof. Aurelius had no problems with religious exclamations or swears such as "Jesus, "Christ," "God," or "Lord" and their many variations despite his faith. Aurelius typically only used heavier swears when he was very emotional or shocked. If Aurelius were to ever say something truly profane then it was a sign of something very bad happening. Rather than swear, Aurelius typically used minced oaths or replacements, such as "shut the front door," "dastards," and "witches" instead of their more profane soundalikes, though would use those words when emotional. Aurelius tended to revert to French when using heavier language and, in particular, would yell the words "merde," "putain," and "mon dieu" and variations of those words when surprised or angered. Aurelius tended to admonish some of his friends and family for swearing, though they were only light rebukes at most (usually just saying something akin to "language!"), and it was at least partially just to annoy them. Contrastingly, there were certain words Aurelius deemed very offensive and he had no tolerance for slurs. Aurelius also totally avoided swearing in the presence of children, most elderly people, the clergy, and people of authority out of respect. Sétanta and Corbyn are some of the few people to get Aurelius to break this politeness, causing Aurelius to swear much more often, and they often hurl pejoratives at one another, though it was mostly in jest and it was a big part of their friendships. Sétanta once got Aurelius to go on a long and expletive-filled rant, though most of it was in French. Aurelius was mortified once he realized that Sétanta had gotten to him so much, most of his friends were shocked by his language, and Sétanta found the entire thing hilarious.
Aurelius was a very passionate person, and he wore his heart on his sleeve. The only emotions that Aurelius hid were his fears and pain, as he did not want to bother others with his problems. Any other emotion, Aurelius was very expressive, and he let his emotions shine, though he could be stoic when he needed to be (although this skill took time to develop). Aurelius also had no qualms with crying, doing so openly unless he needed to stay strong for the sake of others. This did cause him to have some problems reining in his emotions. Aurelius tried to be logical about most things and was mostly a rational person, he occasionally let his emotions run wild which can make some situations worse. While Aurelius' tolerance for most situations was rather high and generally kept a level head, some situations caused him to snap, and his temper burned briefly but extremely hotly. When sufficiently angered, Aurelius could reach a burning, unyielding rage that even ran the risk of turning him into his demon form. As Aurelius matured, he grew to have more of a handle on his emotions so that they did not cloud his judgment, and he became much calmer and logical, while not neglecting his emotions. Aurelius' anger also changed from burning rage, into a cold, tranquil fury with his killing intent being expressed in waves of pressure that made even the chills of Siberia seem warm. Aurelius valued patience and considered it a virtue to strive for, and they were ones that he gained through age and meditation. In his childhood, Aurelius' parents and older siblings described him as a sensitive and gentle soul which he mostly maintained later in life. Aurelius was also noted to be a very sincere and honest person, despite his occasional moment of snark or even deception.
Aurelius was a very sentimental person and was prone to nostalgia. Aurelius often thought about the past and was quick to be reminded of past memories, often keeping mementos of the people he knew and places he had been. A negative part of this is that Aurelius tended to agonize and fixate on all of his mistakes and failures, sometimes finding himself spiraling into grief and misery over them which necessitates others to knock sense back into him. Others have described Aurelius as someone who is stuck in the past, though he also looks forward to the future. Aurelius always thinks of his future and what he should be doing next. This has been seen as a flaw of his, with his friends and family telling him often that he spends too much time focused on the past and future, but not spending enough time living in the present. Aurelius was also very introspective and philosophical, often examining himself and questioning the nature of reality, sometimes to the point of navel-gazing.
Aurelius was confident in himself, though never to the point of arrogance or even pride. Instead, Aurelius was a humble and down-to-earth person, and he had no interest in fame or glory, being prone to self-deprecation even at the best of times. Aurelius believed that the presence of the very prideful Michael and Lucifer within his mind caused him to shy away from that behavior on reflex. It is also apparent that his parents and mentors drilled any sense of arrogance out of Aurelius for his own good. Aurelius was not particularly fond of being the center of attention, liking to keep to himself and avoid the spotlight if he could. While he didn't hate having attention on him and accepted it when it was, he was often rather embarrassed and self-conscious about it, even though some of his hobbies involved being in front of an audience. This aspect of Aurelius' personality faded with age, especially as he got more used to leading others. Despite this, Aurelius never got used to praise or compliments, being very embarrassed by them and often deflecting, even if he was secretly happy with it. Aurelius was also not especially concerned with his reputation or status, being more focused on doing good than being honored. Aurelius' friends and family have criticized his insistence on helping everyone no matter what as though he was the only one capable of helping others and his extreme willingness to sacrifice himself despite what others feel about it as being a form of arrogance in its own right, which Aurelius conceded as being true and tried to work on. Aurelius has also shown signs of having difficulty in coming to terms with his own self-worth, often seeing himself in the worst light possible and being extremely self-sacrificing. Aurelius rarely took heed to insults, either ignoring them, making a joke or snarking back, or simply accepting the truth in them, though there were certain subjects that got to him. Notably, Aurelius was much more angered when someone insulted his loved ones or his family rather than if they insulted him directly. Although usually humble, Aurelius was not completely devoid of pride. While he often tried to downplay them and didn't especially like talking about himself, Aurelius wasn't ashamed of his achievements or skills and would discuss them if prompted. While avoided doing so with strangers, in serious matters, or if he thought someone was feeling down, Aurelius enjoyed playfully boasting or gloating to tease his loved ones, especially in small matters like game nights. On a more serious note, Aurelius did at times use his reputation and famous deeds to intimidate some of his opponents into surrendering or leverage them to make a case for his plans and strategies. Despite his assertions that there was little beneath him, Aurelius did still have a sense of dignity and there were several things he saw as demeaning or unbecoming of him, either refusing to do them outright or doing them begrudgingly for the sake of others.
Aurelius was incredibly courageous, possibly to the point of foolhardiness. Some have stated that Aurelius seemed to lack fear completely, though he retorted that he actually was frightened. Aurelius simply acted despite that fear, which he considered the essence of true courage. In truth, Aurelius considers himself a coward thanks to him avoiding dealing with his insecurities and problems, instead distracting himself with different tasks to avoid coming to terms with himself. Despite his courage, Aurelius was a bit of a worrywart and had anxiety issues, though this lessened as he matured. There were also matters that left Aurelius truly terrified and he was quite superstitious, though he would force himself to carry on despite himself. Aurelius' greatest fear was letting his friends and family down and not being there to protect them when they needed it most. Aurelius also greatly feared not being able to avenge the deaths of those fallen at Monte Sant'Angelo and the many different tragedies he experienced. Aurelius' first instinct when scared was to protect and comfort those around him, before attempting to fight off the source of his fear, only running if he had no other choice.
One of Aurelius' greatest assets was his immense and indomitable will. No matter what he went through Aurelius possessed the strength in spirit to continue onward. Even as a child, Aurelius possessed immense will that allowed him to do nearly anything he set his mind on. Aurelius' determination was so great that others could scarcely believe the things he was capable of doing just through sheer will and he could power through even the worst circumstances. Even in the face of astronomical odds, Aurelius was still willful enough to continue, and when he felt he would lose a situation he would keep fighting despite the slim chance of victory. Aurelius believed that it was better to fight and lose than to never fight at all. Aurelius' will is considered so great that he can achieve anything he wishes to, with others stating that his will might be strong enough to bend or even break reality to attain his goals. Aurelius' will is the origin of Bastion of Heroism, crystalizing one of his most powerful abilities into one of the most powerful drives to ever exist. Aurelius' will is so powerful that that it seems to have caused him to be completely divorced from the concepts of fate and destiny, as he possesses so much fortitude to carve his own path despite what is laid out for him to follow by the universe. Aurelius' willpower can become stubbornness or obsessiveness which has many negative effects on his psyche and causes repercussions for himself and others. Aurelius has also been described as someone who doesn't know when to quit for better or for worse, forcing himself to get up to continue fighting until he literally can't.
Aurelius has questioned how much the presence of Michael and Lucifer has affected him and how much of his personality is truly his. While Aurelius has a distinct personality with different interests and goals than the Heavenly Twins, some aspects of his personality seem to have come from them such as Lucifer's artistry and Michael's martial nature. According to the two in question, Aurelius is his own person entirely, and their influence on his personality is similar to that of a parent or sibling. Despite this, Michael and Lucifer do admit that Aurelius' immense skill in combat and the arts most likely has something to do with their presence, as it should not be possible for a normal human to pick up the sheer number of skills he has in such a short time, but Aurelius' drive to improve, natural talent, and personal interest in those fields also had much to do with those and those solely originate from himself.
As an adult, Aurelius is said to embody the very spirit of the classical Prince Charming and Knight in Shining Armor. Aurelius is a truly virtuous and heroic man who stands above and beyond the standard of heroism even in an age as proliferated with people of similar standing and bearing, even if he was a little jaded. Even after becoming more cynical, Aurelius retained his youthful exuberance, strong beliefs in helping everyone he could, and affable personality, though he was much more relaxed and well-rounded as a person.
===Ideals, Values, and Morals===
Aurelius was very idealistic and tried to see the best in everyone, though he was not blind to the injustices of the world. Aurelius often gave people the benefit of the doubt and believed that people were more than their worst actions. Despite this, Aurelius knew that sometimes bad things just happen and not everyone can be saved. Aurelius believed in redemption and that people could change, though he felt that someone needed to want it and work for it to be granted. If someone was unwilling to repent and it became clear that they would never stop their evil ways, then Aurelius would no longer waste the time and effort to convince them after making efforts to do so. Aurelius would still rather arrest them and took almost every effort to avoid it, but was willing to kill if he felt he had no other choice. While very idealistic, Aurelius' experiences caused to him to see the world as grayscale, rather than black and white. Although Aurelius wanted nothing more than to be a hero, as he grew older he could never see himself as one. No matter what others say about him, Aurelius refuses to see himself as a hero and claims to have committed too many sins and failed too many times to be considered one. Aurelius has even gone as far to call himself a Fake Hero, especially when compared to his friends and idols. Aurelius slowly began to see the good he did thanks to his friends and family raising his self esteem, though he was still extremely modest about his deeds. While he would forever remain an idealist, Aurelius gradually became more cynical as time went on. Despite becoming more jaded, Aurelius refused to give in to nihilism to remain a beacon of justice. Even as others criticize his ideals or call out his hypocrisy, Aurelius still stands by his beliefs to the very end and would debate anyone who wished to deconstruct them, defending them fervently. Aurelius was enraged by those who broke their morals for self-gain or other similar things, viewing them as hypocrites. Aurelius believed the world was both an ugly and cruel place, but also a beautiful one filled with hope that was worth fighting for despite the evil in it.
Aurelius was someone with a lot of love in his heart. Few people could genuinely earn Aurelius' ire, and even then, he did not hold grudges for long. Aurelius had a love for everyone, in the sense of having a strong sense of agape. Aurelius valued everyone he saw and even saw strangers as people worth loving. Aurelius felt that as a knight, sentinel, and prince, he was supposed to be a paragon who protected everyone no matter what. Although Aurelius put his friends and family above complete strangers, he still had positive feelings for everyone and thought nothing of being there for them. It is because of this love that Aurelius hates killing people, but he is willing to do so if it means protecting others. Aurelius was even willing to forgive those who acted against him if they sought forgiveness, sometimes forgiving them even if they didn't. Contrastingly, Aurelius was much less able to abide people who made transgressions against those he cherished most, having the capacity to be quite merciless when he needed to protect them or if Aurelius felt the sin against those he loved was too great, and he had a hard to forgiving or forgetting harm that befell his loved ones. There was a time when Aurelius' compassion faded, and he was filled with hatred, but he eventually returned to having a great love for others. Even those that Aurelius dislikes and has enmity with, he still values them as a person and feels compassion for them, and he often seeks an understanding of why they acted the way they did. Aurelius' friends and family have referred to him as someone too nice for his own good and compared him to a saint (though he didn't feel he deserved to be compared to such a prestigious status), and it was the reason he was given the epithet of the Knight of Compassion. Aurelius' love for everyone seems not to extend to himself, and he seems to genuinely hate himself at times. There are a few people that Aurelius has stated that he genuinely hates and feels nothing but contempt for without any guilt, those being the most deplorable people he had ever met and himself.
Helping people was second nature to Aurelius, and he wouldn't think twice before offering help to someone, even if the matter was completely mundane. Aurelius couldn't help but offer aid to everyone, even complete strangers. Someone just had to ask Aurelius for assistance, and as long as nothing greater was happening at the same time, he would almost assuredly agree to help without caring about what it was. Aurelius thought that helping people was the essence of being both a sentinel and a knight, so he did everything he could to help people. Aurelius was also motivated by his inability to save anyone during the Tragedy of Monte Sant'Angelo and refused to allow anyone to suffer unduly when he had the power to help them. Aurelius thought that this was completely normal and downplayed his acts of altruism as "something anyone would do." Aurelius' desire to help went past simply defending non-combatants from monsters or bandits, as he would also offer aid for practically anything if he was asked or even if he just saw someone who needed help. Aurelius was known to simply wander the villages and other places he visited and just help random people he saw if he thought they might need it. Even if someone did not appreciate his assistance, Aurelius would still offer it because it was simply his nature to help others. Aurelius would even go as far as to save criminals or general "bad guys" because it was simply the right thing to do. While some might try to take advantage of his generosity or see it as foolish, Aurelius would continue to do so happily and often countered accusations of foolishness with the phrase, "Helping people is never wrong." Aurelius did not help people out of the expectation of a reward and often tried to turn down rewards when he could afford to. Aurelius has been described as someone who can not stand to leave things broken, having a need to try his hardest to fix them. Aurelius also often took it upon himself to help others learn to help and defend themselves, such as teaching basic self-defense or even agriculture or similar things. Aurelius reasoned that while people like knights and sentinels were useful and had their place in the world it was also important for communities to be able to defend and provide for themselves as those in authority might not always be present to lend aid or be willing to support them for selfish reasons.
A negative impact of his altruism was that Aurelius was the type of person to disregard his own needs to cater to the needs of others, which could occasionally be taken to the point of being self-destructive. It has been said that Aurelius was the type of person to give someone the shirt off his back without complaint or heed of how it affected him. Aurelius' many friends, family members, and mentors have tried to drive this out of his head to some success, but he sometimes reverts to this line of thinking. Aurelius also hated burdening others with his problems, instead tending toward internalizing them or attempting to solve them himself. This is even though he always wanted to help his friends with their problems and chastised them for not asking for help. Aurelius frequently had to be reminded that it was not a bad thing to rely on his friends, so he shouldn't hide his problems from them and his hypocrisy about the matter has been confronted frequently. There have been times when people have tried to take advantage of Aurelius' generosity, though he didn't mind much unless they were trying to hurt others. Another aspect is that this tendency has led to Aurelius being caught in traps by people or monsters who pretend to be helpless or need assistance and other times when people simply manipulated his altruism for their own ends. While Aurelius would grow to be wary of those kinds of plots, he would still rather help someone and be wrong than not help someone and cause someone to suffer for it.
Despite being born into immense wealth and royalty, the way that Aurelius' parents raised him kept him very humble and generous. Aurelius' parents made sure that Aurelius and his siblings had plenty of chores and learned responsibility, as well instilling a good worth ethic in them. While he did play and train a lot, he also spent much of time helping others around the castle or in town, even helping the local farmers and ranchers when he could and often took over his sisters' chores when they dumped them on him without much complaint. Like his family, Aurelius values self-sufficiency over resting on their laurels and relying on generational wealth. While Aurelius did have wealth, he preferred living frugally, and he disliked great ostentation or living lavishly. Aurelius was very aware of his privileged upbringing, but he simply preferred living a more modest life. Aurelius was very charitable and often gave his money to those in need and when he had the time, he was known to do extensive volunteer work. Aurelius would simply lend money to anyone who asked it of him, and while he would prefer getting paid back, he didn't demand it and never wanted interest for any money lent. Aurelius did not like having people indebted to him so he forgave any debts that others might have had. Contrastingly, Aurelius would always pay back his debts, even if someone stated he didn't need to. Aurelius took things like life debts very seriously and would do anything for someone who protected his life or the lives of the people he loved. Despite being royalty, Aurelius was often seen as low class by other aristocrats or wealthy people as he acted more like a commoner in most cases and was disdainful of a typical noble's lifestyle. When doing business or bartering, Aurelius was very fair, insisting on paying and receiving proper payment for goods and services. Aurelius is willing to go without payment and pay more for them, especially for those in need and often insists on paying for things even if it was offered for free. Aurelius also insisted on paying for the entire group when they went out to places, though he was willing to compromise on splitting the bill if pressed on it. Aurelius was completely immune to all bribes and was never willing to compromise on his ideals, especially not for money or gifts, and was insulted by the idea of accepting them.
Aurelius had a strong moral character and sense of justice, one that was backed up by his indomitable will. He lived by the philosophy of "might for right", the idea that those with any sort of power were obligated to help those without and that might should be used as a tool for righteousness. Aurelius values equality, liberty, and fraternity and is shown to despise prejudice, injustice, abuse, and mistreatment in any form. This developed Aurelius' moral code which was based on the lessons he was taught as a child, his religious beliefs, the code of chivalry, and his own experiences that shaped him. Aurelius is generally respectful, friendly, and polite to everyone he meets no matter their differences toward him. He tries his best to be honorable, honest, loyal, fair, merciful, and above all, a true moral paragon. Aurelius maintained this code of ethics as much as he possibly could. In most situations, he would never break these tenants, even if it would cost him or otherwise put him in a bad situation, he would stick to his ideals and push forward no matter what. Although Aurelius' moral code was inspired by concepts such as chivalry, his values were his own, and deviated from those ideals in certain ways. Aurelius followed his own brand of justice and encouraged others to make their own definitions of what it meant to be just. Although he remained a knight and still followed similar ideals, Aurelius' experiences left him very disillusioned with chivalry. While he still found chivalry romantic and admirable in its way, he found it too simplistic and naïve to apply in reality so he took the framework of the code to create his own brand of justice and code of conduct.
That said, some situations would cause him to break free from those restraints, namely the protection of innocent lives and those dear to him. In situations such as those, he would be reluctantly willing to break his moral code to keep them safe. He may hate himself and feel guilt for compromising his ideals, but he would never be able to forgive himself if he failed to help someone because of something like moral posturing. Aurelius felt that if he needed to be dishonorable to save someone then it was worth it every single time. While Aurelius was capable of being pragmatic and making compromises, he would feel immense disgust for himself if he didn't find some other way to achieve his goals. Those compromises would be the very last option and only to be considered if there was no other choice that could be made. If even the slightest hint of some other way to move forward was available, no matter how hard it was, Aurelius would take that option no matter what it cost him as wanted to stay true to his ideals. Even if no other option was immediately visible, Aurelius would try to force a new solution to work and only accept the pragmatic option if his own way failed. Aurelius always sought to atone for the sins he committed both real and imagined through acts of penance, and he also had a habit of punishing himself for them. Even still, Aurelius has done things that were morally ambiguous or even ruthless in favor of the greater good, though he took no joy in it, and it fueled his self-loathing.
This extended to his attitude toward laws. While Aurelius believed that most laws were in place for a reason, if he had a good reason for it he wouldn't think twice before breaking the law and would feel no guilt for doing so. In Aurelius' eyes, legality was not the same thing as morality and any unjust laws could be broken without feeling bad. Aurelius felt that even laws that he thought had a reason for being in place could be broken if the person had a good enough reason for it (such as a poor parent stealing baby supplies or other such situations), and he would let the perpetrator go or even cover for them. Aurelius had no problems with "victimless crimes," and would freely turn his eye or even engage in them himself. Aurelius stated that he was not a police officer, so it wasn't his jurisdiction unless it genuinely hurt someone else or the crime was of that great a magnitude. Aurelius had a great amount of knowledge of laws, which helped him get around them and know when to use them. Aurelius wasn't someone who wantonly broke laws for no reason, but he would never let the law stop him from doing what was right. Aurelius stated that he was someone who did things that were righteous and good, not what was lawful. Aurelius has worked both with and against law enforcement on numerous occasions when following his heart and beliefs of what was right. Aurelius didn't hate the police, but he wasn't particularly fond of them either, citing rampant police corruption and their history of ineffectiveness. Aurelius had no problems working with criminals, as long as their crime wasn't something too objectionable by his standards. While he may not particularly like them or approve of their methods, he would tolerate it as best he could in the name of the greater good and he didn't have issues with most crimes. Many of Aurelius' friends and most trusted allies were criminals at one point, and he himself has broken the law several times to achieve his goals. Aurelius was aware that eliminating crime altogether was impossible, but working with a few criminals to make sure that things did not get too chaotic was a policy that he employed and thought was the best way to handle the situation. Aurelius was well aware that most criminals were in it to make money and not general mayhem, so working with those who were receptive was perfectly fine in his books. Aurelius was also a big proponent of rehabilitation rather than punishment.
Aurelius viewed life as something sacred, though he understood that taking a life was sometimes necessary. While Aurelius despised killing, he was willing to do so if there was no other choice. The first time Aurelius killed a person he was horrified and severely depressed. He never forgot what it was like and regretted what happened. As time went on, Aurelius was forced to kill more and more. He would grow to accept that killing people was part of his job, but he never liked it and swore to show mercy whenever he was able to. Aurelius states that he never forgets the people he has killed, though he fears that one day he will get used to killing people. While Aurelius did eventually reach the point of getting somewhat used to killing people, it still affected him, and he refused to kill without cause or good justification for it. As a general rule, when he is not explicitly required to kill someone, he would make attempts to talk things out first or if he needs to resort to violence he will attempt to capture or injure before considering killing. That said, if Aurelius has no choice he would not hesitate to do what needs to be done, and has killed dozens or even hundreds of people without faltering in battle. Aurelius has also conducted and ordered assassinations for the sake of his goals and what he believed was the greater good. Although he feels immense sadness over killing, Aurelius is more than capable of hardening his mind and heart to the feeling to do what needs to be done. Aurelius typically killed opponents as quickly and mercifully as he could, both out of practicality and because of his morals. Aurelius suffers from immense guilt and self-loathing because of the number of people he has killed, lamenting that he often has no choice in the matter. Despite his disdain for killing, Aurelius was willing to perform mercy kills when required, though he felt immense sorrow when he had to. Aurelius often attempted to heal people before even considering it, but if there was no choice he would go through with it and did his best to make it quick and painless. Aurelius' love of family and distaste for killing has him see kinslaying to be one of the worst sins one can commit, aside from a few cases that he considers to be justifiable. Aurelius' disdain of killing only applied to sapient beings, as he had no problem hunting animals for sport or sustenance (though did so mercifully and avoided hurting animals otherwise) and had no qualms with killing monsters in brutal ways, even getting some enjoyment out of it.
Aurelius was also very respectful of the dead, believing that it was important to give proper reverence to those who died. Aurelius often prayed for the safety of the souls of the people who died and he almost always paid his respects to the people whose lives he took. Even if others believed that someone did not deserve the respect he gave someone after taking their life, Aurelius still showed it due to his beliefs. That said there some people he acknowledged as being so wicked that their death was a net positive and some people he genuinely hated so much that he took some satisfaction in their deaths, though he often felt guilt for feeling that way even if he thought it was justified. For especially vile people, Aurelius did nothing to stop others from celebrating their death but generally avoided doing so himself and was still unnerved by blatant disrespect to the dead. Aurelius became extremely furious when people mocked or otherwise disrespected the deceased, especially his loved ones. Being disparaging about the people he loved, especially those who died, was a sure way to make Aurelius absolutely livid and murderous. Aurelius also made a habit of recovering the bodies of the dead or alerting the authorities about them so their loved ones have closer and they receive a proper burial. This only applied to deceased humans, demi-humans, elves, and other sapient beings, as he had no qualms with disrespecting the bodies of deceased monsters or using them for various traps. There were also a few exceptions to this for more practical purposes, such as making sure that the body does not reanimate or become part of the undead, looting the dead when in desperate need, or in pressing situations using the body as a distraction, as part of traps, or for intimidation, however, he found it immensely disgusting morally and hated himself for it. Even with his respect for the dead, Aurelius had a tendency for morbid thoughts and was not above gallows humor, though he typically aimed it toward himself rather than make fun of others. 
In contrast to his value of the lives of others, Aurelius seemed to view his own life as lesser than those of others. It is possible to be a result of the many brushes of death he had since he was a child. Aurelius could be incredibly reckless when it came to his own well-being and has even been accused of having no fear of death. Aurelius claimed he did not have a death wish or anything of that nature, but he had no qualms with laying down his life to protect others or for his ideals, though he wasn't willing to throw his life away for nothing. As a result of his lack of self-worth, Aurelius could be extraordinarily reckless and often put himself in dangerous situations. Aurelius believed that putting his life on the line meant that others wouldn't have to and that it was only logical for him to be the one in those situations because of his healing abilities and superhuman physiology. Part of Aurelius believed that his life being at risk was a way to atone for his sins, both real and imagined. Aurelius has also admitted to experiencing some enjoyment by endangering his own life, getting a rush from being put in peril. There were several periods during which Aurelius genuinely was suicidal, though he only put himself in increasingly dangerous situations rather than attempt to kill himself directly. Because of the protests of his friends and family and how much his injuries or potential death would harm them, Aurelius did try to curtail his reckless habits, but it was clear that it was more so for their benefit than his own. Aurelius eventually began to value his life more, though he would still rather die than let innocents or his loved ones suffer.
Aurelius had a natural aversion to lying, preferring to be as truthful and honest as possible, and he was naturally very sincere (aside from a few moments of snark or passive aggression). The code of chivalry dictated that a knight must never knowingly tell falsehoods, and he took it very seriously, even after he started to diverge from the code. Despite Aurelius' distaste for lying, he is not incapable of making use of deception and has shown some skill in it. Aurelius would use half-truths or omit information, as well as letting people make their own conclusions from limited information and run with it, sometimes feeding into it to make things more believable. As this was not technically lying or speaking falsehoods, Aurelius technically did not break the code of chivalry, though it did not ease his guilt much. Even with his distaste for lying, Lucifer taught Aurelius to be an exceptional one and he did sometimes lie for the greater good or to protect others. Aurelius also wasn't above a few little white lies either to spare someone's feelings or save face. Ironically, the less consequential the lie was, the worse Aurelius was at lying, with people often being to tell Aurelius was blatantly lying to their face over small matters. Aurelius was also someone who prided himself on being a man of his word. Whenever Aurelius made a promise to do something or made a deal, he meant it completely and always held up his end. While Aurelius wasn't so naïve as to believe that others would always do the same, he still gave them the benefit of the doubt for the most part. Aurelius' honesty has caused him to be too sincere to the point of being rather blunt or even rude, though this was unintentional, and he always apologized for it.
Aurelius was mostly opposed to thievery and robbery as he found it immoral to take from others, aside from certain circumstances that he felt justified it. Aurelius understood why someone would undertake those actions and could excuse it in certain situations, but he didn't like the idea of taking part in it himself as he did not need to, aside from when it was a required part of his missions. While apprenticing with Corbyn and especially during the Second Apocalypse War, Aurelius gradually began to realize that refusing to steal some things or loot could put him and his allies in a bad situation, though he still disliked it. Aurelius began to copy Corbyn's habit of "battlefield acquisitions," though he just point-blank referred to it as stealing or looting anything that wasn't nailed down. Aurelius restricted this habit to enemies or those whose avarice led them to hoard their wealth from others. Aurelius found looting dead bodies to be unseemly and disrespectful but did engage in it when he felt he must, though he always made sure to apologize and pay his respects while doing so. Grave robbing was a step too far in his mind as it was actively disrupting a person's place of rest, and so he refused to take part in it.
Aurelius saw torture as something unforgivable and swore to never stoop so low as to employ it. In his eyes, torture was a savage act that only the most deplorable people could bring themselves to do. Aurelius, unfortunately, did fall to using torture during his revenge quest, brutally maiming several bandits and cultists until they told him what he wanted to know. Aurelius never forgave himself for this sin, and it was a constant source of guilt that he had caused people to suffer unjustly and had compromised his ideals. Aurelius never used torture methods again and actively prevented anyone from using them at all times. Aside from that brief period, Aurelius treated captives and prisoners more like guests than anything else and was unfaltering kind, and respectful to them. Ironically, this kindness helped make those captives trust him and give up information. That said, Aurelius is not above using intimidation or manipulation to get information, especially if there is no time to earn a target's trust.
Others have noted that Aurelius seemed to have a weakness toward women. While Aurelius is always chaste and respectful to women, he seems to have an unconscious bias toward them. Aurelius was willing to help everyone who asked it of him, but he seemed to offer it more readily to women than men and appeared to be more trusting toward them on some level. Aurelius didn't do it intentionally, he simply did so on a subconscious level. Aurelius also believed that it was his duty as a knight to serve as an escort and guardian to women, usually offering to protect them (even if they didn't really need it). Aurelius had no problems with women fighting and respected his female allies immensely, though he initially had some difficulties behaving a tad too overprotective at times despite them being able to defend themselves. Seeing his female allies in action ended that line of thinking quite quickly, and he gave full trust in their ability to take care of themselves, only helping them when they needed or requested it. Aurelius also had no trouble fighting female enemy combatants, though he tended to hold back more and be slightly more merciful toward them than men on a subconscious level. Aurelius' friends and mentors reprimanded him for this habit, and he worked to let go of it but did prop up from time to time. Aurelius also seemed to instinctively follow the leads of authoritative women without much argument, something that seemed to be a carryover from growing up with many bossy sisters and a very assertive mother. Aurelius' friends often poked fun at him for having no backbone when it came to women and having a weakness for pretty faces. Aurelius protested their jests and stated they were inaccurate, but it was clear that he was just trying to save face. This bias is not out of love or lust, but simply something that had been ingrained in him from his chivalrous ideals and female-dominated childhood. This has had a slight effect of making Aurelius much easier to manipulate and be taken advantage of by female opponents than others.
While Aurelius was often resolute about his beliefs and kept to them, he did have his struggles with his morals. Aurelius often lamented his path and what he did in the name of justice. Aurelius often felt he was fool for keeping his optimistic beliefs and hope for a better tomorrow in a world that was often cold and seemed unwilling to change for the better. Aurelius was also unsure if the path he forged for himself was right, whether he was right to fight for justice, and even what justice even meant. Aurelius also feared that he was too weak to achieve true justice, that his connections to others and interests in different subjects were distractions from making his ideals a reality, and that he was putting his loved ones in danger by being with them. Even with all of his doubts and worries about his actions and choices, Aurelius still had hope that one day the world would become just. Aurelius may be unsure of his path, but he was still willing to go down and fight for what he thought was right despite his insecurities. Aurelius hoped that his actions would make a difference for the better, but took solace that even if they didn't he still fought for it and helped some people even if all amounted to nothing in the long run. Aurelius held onto his loved ones as what kept him human and reminded him why he fought for justice in the first place.
====Friends & Family====
Aurelius greatly valued family, having been raised by a large, caring, and very happy one. Aurelius loved his family with all his heart and was willing to do anything for them, even if they had their disagreements or even fought one another. Aurelius believed that family was not dictated by blood, but instead by the love and bond holding individuals together. Aurelius considered his closest friends to be part of that family and would treat them no differently than he would his siblings. Aurelius also valued family for others, which instilled in him a hatred of domestic abusers and those who abandoned their families. As part of this, Aurelius kept his word and whenever he swore on his family name, it was always in the context of an unbreakable vow/promise, as well as a declaration that he spoke the truth. Aurelius also took his family's sayings, and advice to heart, even when that advice was somewhat questionable. Aurelius took a lot of pride in his ancestry and considered his family his biggest source of honor. While he didn't think that their accomplishments and status meant anything about him, he felt it was his duty to live up to the legends that his ancestors inspired. Aurelius was not very fond of his royal heritage and was much more concerned with the knightly and heroic aspects of his lineage. In most circumstances, Aurelius acted like a typical teenager and wouldn't have it any other way. Even as an adult, Aurelius didn't care about being seen as royal and preferred to act like a knight and sentinel. Aurelius and his family also practiced a minor version of ancestor veneration.
Aurelius was noted to be a very friendly person, and he delighted in meeting and befriending new people. Aurelius loved speaking to people and just getting to know them, treating them with respect at all times and paying rapt attention to their conversations. Aurelius was described by others to be a very affable and sweet person to be around. Aurelius treated people with kindness and courtesy no matter how different they were to him and no matter what their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexuality was. Aurelius stated that he believed that everyone, even the worst people, had something about them that was worthy of being respected and that he was taught to be polite to everyone no matter their station or status. Aurelius befriended people quickly and considered people friends, even if they didn't extend the same courtesy to him. Aurelius was also very quick to remember faces, even with people he had only met for a brief period of time. Aurelius lived by the adage that "a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet," though he also admitted that it was a very idealistic and naïve belief. While Aurelius acknowledged it as being cliché, he was a proponent of the "power of friendship" and stated repeatedly the bond he had with his friends and family was what gave him his strength. Aurelius valued his friends immensely and would do anything for them, and he often sang their praises whenever he could, speaking of them in glowing terms that indicated his love and respect for them. Despite this love, Aurelius wasn't scared to confront and reprimand his friends or family when they did wrong and help guide them to make up for their mistakes, also trusting them to do the same for him. Aurelius was very involved in his community and was well-regarded by the people in it.
Aurelius was a nurturing person and would do anything for his loved ones. Aurelius typically took the role of the team dad (or possibly the team mom), mostly because of his experience with a large family, his being one of the oldest members of the group, his status as a leader, and his general personality lent well to it. Aurelius settled disputes between teammates, was a shoulder to cry on for anyone who needed it, laid down grown rules, made organization charts for the group for things like chores or other domestic responsibilities, cleaned up after them when they made a mess, helped them with anything they needed, gave advice when asked, offered praise and encouragement, and often took on the cooking duties (typically sharing with Lian, Janet, and Mateus). Aurelius also notably had a habit of giving expensive gifts to his loved ones and tended to spoil his family and friends, particularly the younger members of those groups. While Aurelius was very nurturing, he was unafraid to scold or chide his teammates when they acted out of line, being kind yet firm about it. Although Aurelius hated it, he could be quite the disciplinarian when he needed to be, even being able to keep his friends and family in line with a single look or word when they were being too rowdy. Aurelius often acted like an actual parental figure toward his friends and younger siblings, to the point that some of his friends consider him one of the few or even only positive male role models they ever had and his younger siblings almost seem to listen to him more than their actual parents at times. Aurelius' tendency to fuss over his friends and teammates has caused them to half-jokingly give him the nicknames "mom" and "dad," and they refer to him as the “mom friend” of the group, much to his mortification. Aurelius had a soft spot for children and was very good with them, something honed by helping raise his younger siblings. Aurelius took on the role of an older brother or even a father when interacting with children, and was noted to have the makings of a good father when he eventually grew up. Aurelius was also noted to be an excellent teacher because of his caring nature, and he often took it upon himself to tutor people or teach them skills that he was well versed in. Aurelius later became a part-time teacher at Bastion Academy, being considered one of the best and most beloved in the school.
Aurelius was intensely protective of others, especially towards his friends and family. Aurelius would forgive people's actions against him rather easily, but he was less forgiving when people hurt those he loved. Whenever someone greatly harmed those he loved, Aurelius tended to lose control of his emotions and acted much more savagely than normal, showing a capacity to be ruthless. Although he acknowledged it as wrong and hypocritical of him as he always dissuaded others from doing the same, Aurelius felt a need to avenge those who were hurt by others and felt it was his duty to bring peace to the fallen by slaying their killers. This was partially the reason that he was so motivated to become a knight and sentinel, as he swore to bring justice to the man responsible for the Tragedy of Monte Sant'Angelo. This aspect of his personality lessened as he matured and got more control over his temper, but his burning rage could still be felt even if it was controlled, and he could still be quite brutal. Aurelius also dropped his beliefs in vengeance, fully accepting that such actions would not only not bring peace to the fallen but would only horrify them. While never controlling or possessive, Aurelius could take his protectiveness too far and had to be reigned in sometimes. A more comical extension of his protectiveness is towards his siblings and later his children when it came to romance. Whenever his younger siblings (and even some of his older sisters) or children expressed interest in dating, or someone expressed interest in them, Aurelius' protectiveness ramped up greatly. Aurelius was typically not an intimidating figure (or at least tried not to be), but whenever this happened his family would joke that he could give a devil a heart attack with a single look. Aurelius' family (either his siblings, mother, or later his wives) often had to rein him in. That said, Aurelius could be civil and was quick to come around on potential paramours when he determined they weren't a threat, though he would go back to his old attitude if his loved ones were ever wronged. Aurelius protectiveness was also rather strong for children, the elderly, and others who could not protect themselves and hurting them made him immensely angry.
Although Aurelius was a very patient and understanding person who tried to be polite and helpful to everyone he met, he did have his limits. Aurelius was unafraid to admonish bad behavior and his very strong sense of justice led him to stand up to anyone doing wrong without fear or hesitation. Aurelius was aware that people had different values and morals which he would always accept and account for, but there were certain things that he had no tolerance for and he would have no shame in fighting against. There were also people that Aurelius disliked or even hated outright for one reason or the other. While Aurelius often tried to be cordial and remain polite, he was not above sniping or being passive aggressive toward them behind a mask of civility. There were also certain people that Aurelius didn't bother hiding his hostility to, openly being showing hate and antagonism though he didn't like acting that way and it was rare for him to dislike someone that much. Similarly, while Aurelius' patience and kindness gave him a great tolerance for people being rude, annoying, bizarre, or idiotic he has been pushed too far and lashed out at them for their behavior. Aurelius almost always apologized for doing so but there have been times where he didn't bother either because he was still furious/annoyed or because he felt the other party didn't deserve an apology. Aurelius was also much less accommodating on serious missions. Aurelius still tried to be polite, but he was much more concerned with completing his mission and would shut down anything that wasted time or got in the way of bringing justice. While he wasn't proud of his more brusque nature, he felt it was often necessary and would rather apologize after the fact. Aurelius also wasn't above giving the cold shoulder to his loved ones when they did something to upset him, though this would pass eventually.
====Political Values and Leadership====
Being a prince of two great kingdoms, Aurelius was educated in politics from a young age. Aurelius tended to favor leftist policies and reform. Despite being royalty, Aurelius felt monarchies were a poor system of government and favored democracy and republics much more. Aurelius favored the constitutional monarchies of his homelands and the republics of the Americas, though he admitted that there must be some reforms to streamline and improve them, and he has shown disdain for the slow and corrupt nature of government bureaucracy. Aurelius had some shades of collectivism and socialism within him as well, seeing community aid and providing for those who couldn't provide for themselves as something essential. As a Prince, Aurelius helped advise his elder sister, Bianca, in her role as Queen, though he had no interest in the stifling nature of holding office himself and personally hated getting involved in political games. Aurelius stated that he would rather face an entire army of demons by himself than spend a day having to go through political intrigue. Aurelius was a well-respected and beloved figure with a lot of power simply because of his status, so he used his reputation and influence to help push for reform and policies to help as many people as possible. Aurelius was also a very big proponent of giving aid to foreign nations when they needed it. Aurelius felt that protest was an essential part of democracy, even if he didn't agree with the point being rallied. While he preferred nonviolence in most cases, Aurelius had no problem with violent protests. If he believed the cause was just, and innocents were not harmed by the methods being used, then Aurelius was perfectly fine with it. Depending on the cause, Aurelius has even shown to be sympathetic to terrorists though at that point he would be cautious about the actions being undertaken and would likely get involved to prevent things from getting out of hand.
Aurelius was not too concerned with order versus freedom, finding immense value in both. Aurelius felt that discipline and structure were important for people, but he also loved freedom and liberty and believed that people would be able to do whatever they wanted to do and be whatever they wanted to be as long it did not harm anyone else. Aurelius believed that both order and freedom were necessary for humans as too much freedom could lead to chaos, whilst too much order was nothing but tyranny. Aurelius found value in institutions like governments but believed that they should give their citizens autonomy to make their own choices and live their lives as they wished. Aurelius found no value in conformity, preferring to live his life by his own values and definition of justice, and did not care how others judged him for it. To do what he believed was right, Aurelius was willing to go against the entire world, and he did not care for the mores of society (especially high society) if they got in the way of that or if they stopped people from living how they wanted to live. Despite disliking the idea of anarchy, he was more partial to it than tyranny as he believed that human nature was fundamentally good, and so even in chaos people would still be willing to help one another, which would not be as possible in an authoritarian society. Aurelius could be both someone utterly independent and live by his own rules but also be part of extremely disciplined or ordered structures with ease. To Aurelius, the distinction between order and chaos was nowhere near as important as the distinction between justice and injustice, with him being far more concerned with doing good than fighting for either law or freedom.
While Aurelius valued freedom and was a bit of a free spirit, he had no issues slotting into a regimented command structure. Unlike most of his friends, Aurelius had very little trouble acclimating to the military lifestyle, likely stemming from his knight training. While Aurelius naturally fit into the military, he was also known for being much more unconventional than most soldiers. Aurelius has even shown a willingness to disobey orders if he found them objectionable, which while normally grounds for heavy consequences he tended to skirt around due to his status, knowing the right people, typically being part of units that were laxer on the rules, the results he got, and later being a figure of great military authority himself. While Aurelius would defer to people who knew better and typically followed orders to the letter, he would not think twice about being insubordinate if he felt he had to. Aurelius was noted to be the kind of person who would thrive in specialist programs as he did very well in military environments while also being independent and able to make unorthodox calls which typically would not work for proper armies.
Aurelius had what he called a healthy distrust of most authority figures. While he was willing to listen to, respect, and work with them, he refused to take anything they said at face value and always reserved judgment about them. Aurelius distrusted politicians, owners of corporations, and other high authorities on principle, as he felt they were almost always only looking out to protect their own interests. There were very few authority figures that Aurelius truly trusted, and most of them had to earn that trust one way or another. Aurelius was aware of the irony that a prince would have reservations about figures of authority, but he also stated that his experience with such figures made his feelings very warranted. Aurelius was also quite uncomfortable with his own authority but did his best to be a good administrator and leader. Although rarely to the point of hate, Aurelius has been shown repeatedly to dislike most nobles or people of similar standing, finding them obnoxious and uncaring about the world.
Aurelius was known to be an effective leader for multiple situations including small teams, large groups, and even massive military operations. Aurelius was able to plan very far ahead and account for many different variables and potential outcomes to ensure victory, having a natural predisposition for tactics and strategy. Aurelius also tended to read into the strengths and weaknesses of both his allies and enemies rather quickly, allowing him to quickly make plans to make optimal use of them on the field. Aurelius was a benevolent and understanding leader who got to know his subordinates, beyond just their strengths and weaknesses. Aurelius was warm and caring towards those whom he led, freely offering friendship to them. Aurelius treated everyone under his command with respect and care, no matter their status or origin. While normally a forgiving and easygoing person, when it came to battle Aurelius became much more authoritative and strict as felt the simplest mistake could cost everything. Aurelius was much more assertive and serious on the battlefield, and he expected his orders to be followed to the letter. While Aurelius valued the counsel of his trusted advisors and would defer to those who had expertise in situations he did not have any, ultimately, his word was final. Aurelius was willing to forgive anyone who broke from his command and disobeyed his orders, but they needed to have a good reason to justify it. If they had such justification, all was forgiven, and Aurelius would respect their decision. Aurelius felt that any mistake on the part of his subordinates was something that reflected on him, such that he thought it was prudent that he take the blame for their mistakes. Aurelius would still give fair punishment to those who made those errors, but he also believed that he should also be punished for it. Aurelius' friends affectionately call Aurelius' attitude when performing his duties as leader as his "leader mode." Aurelius commands respect and loyalty, and his natural charisma inspires morale with most of the people under his command rarely feeling the need to question his orders and having complete faith in his abilities. Aurelius led from the front and was always the first to take on the enemy, and he would never sacrifice his men, no matter the situation. Aurelius would also never send his men into a situation that he would not partake in, often fighting on the frontlines alongside his men and often taking the worst roles himself. Aurelius was also infamous for running ahead of his men to deal with the problem himself, sometimes defeating a threat before any of his men had the chance to arrive.
Aurelius had complex views on the nature of the leader. Aurelius felt that a leader needed to be at their best for those under them, as they rely on their leaders for hope, guidance, and support. This did not mean a leader needed to be perfect, but in Aurelius' eyes, they needed to be the rock for everyone else. As this was a massive burden, Aurelius also believed a leader needed their own support and that it was okay to show "weakness" with those they trusted implicitly (not that Aurelius always followed this advice himself). When Aurelius was younger, he had some anxiety when it came to leading, however, as he grew older, he became much more confident, especially as it became clear that it was something he had immense ability in.
====Combat & Training====
While Aurelius found enjoyment in fighting, he primarily saw himself as a peacekeeper and valued the protection of others over the thrill of a good fight. Aurelius viewed fighting to be a necessary part of his job, and thus violence should be a means to an end. Despite enjoying a good fight, Aurelius disliked hurting people and felt cooperation and comradery were essential to being a knight and sentinel. During missions, Aurelius believed peace and diplomacy were much more favorable than fighting and that his time was better suited to helping people. Aurelius almost always tried to talk things out with others before using violence as a last resort. Even with his preference for peaceful means, Aurelius was not a pacifist and would hold nothing back when it came to a serious battle. Aurelius felt that a true knight should end battle efficiently and succinctly, with the enjoyment of a fight never factoring into it. Aurelius was also fearless in battle, only retreating or surrendering when it was strategically sound or there was absolutely no way he could win and even then he was more likely to keep fighting despite the odds. If there was a chance that he could salvage a win, no matter how small, and it didn't result in a travesty for others, then Aurelius would continue to fight as hard as he could even showing a willingness to recklessly endanger his own life to do so.
Even with his desire for peace and beliefs about combat, Aurelius did find satisfaction and pleasure in fighting. Aurelius enjoyed fighting worthy opponents in fair and honorable duels to test his combat abilities, and he valued sparing with others to hone his skills. Aurelius often smiled and even laughed while taking part in these activities as he had the opportunity to test his might without having to worry about having to protect others or stop villains. Even when he was very hurt or in danger of dying, Aurelius took great joy in battle, and he actively enjoyed the rush of being in peril. While doing missions, Aurelius put his love of fighting to the wayside but when he could afford to enjoy a fight he would relish in it. There were times that Aurelius' love of fighting won out against his better nature, though these were few and far between. When he was younger, Aurelius was somewhat afraid of his love of fighting and viewed it as unbecoming of a knight, admitting that he was afraid of going too far in battle and he was afraid of the power he had. Aurelius began to accept his love of battle as he matured, fully realizing that it was a part of him and made him no worse than anyone else. Aurelius also found great enjoyment in competing in tournaments as they allowed him to test his skills against many worthy opponents. Aurelius was not very fond of what he referred to as spectacle fighting, as they were for the sake of the audience and were not indicative of real battle. Aurelius believed that would lead to fighters picking up bad habits and believed it was a disservice for the fighters involved. Aurelius was also a little perturbed about the public's love of bloodsport, finding more than a little concerning. When Aurelius did get engrossed in a battle he enjoyed, he tended to get carried away, and he occasionally needed outside interference to get him back on track. In real fights, Aurelius took on a reserved, yet stern look that did not betray his emotions aside from the occasional faint smile or frown. Aurelius tended to avoid talking when fighting unless necessary such as relaying crucial information and orders to his allies or taunting/manipulating his opponents, aside from a few involuntary interjections or words that simply slipped out. When Aurelius was truly enjoying a fight, he would smile brazenly and laugh. Similarly, despite his distaste for flashy moves or style over substance during actual fights or duels, when having fun in smaller fights Aurelius did enjoy trying to fight in "cool" or stylish ways, often trying to show off against his friends because it was fun. Aurelius and his friends were known to have competitions such as who could kill the most monsters or who killed monsters in the most stylish ways when they were training or doing low-stakes missions. It was at these times that Aurelius' penchant for theatrics truly showed itself, and he could be quite the show off in the effort to be as "cool" as possible. Humorously, Aurelius' attempts to show off often ended rather poorly for him when he was deliberately trying to be cool and he tended to be more cool when he was just being himself. Some of Aurelius' plans and strategies could also be rather elaborate and dramatic, though he only put those in place if there was no need to be extremely practical. Beyond the thrill he got from battle, Aurelius seemed to find it therapeutic and stated that it helped clear his head and helped him focus his thoughts. Aurelius had a deep love and respect for the art of combat, viewing it as an artform to be mastered and a tool for justice.
While Aurelius was raised to fight as a knight would and preferred honorable forms of combat, he also realized that purely fighting honorably in some situations would only cause disaster for him and those he swore to protect. As such, he decided that using any means (barring things that he considered too far) to win a fight when it came to battles for life and death would be the best course of action. This is not for every fight, as something like a spar, exhibition match, tourney fight, honorable duel, or other not-very serious situations would never necessitate such a response. That said, if he ever felt he had to, he would not hold back and take any opportunity available to him to win. In times of great need, Aurelius took any means he could, such as using his overwhelming strength, speed, and power to defeat his opponent as quick as possible, using his environment, using hidden weapons or explosives, turning his enemies' weapons or strengths against them, purposely hide his strengths or embellish his weaknesses to trick his opponents, poisoning his opponents, attacking vulnerable areas such as nerve clusters, the eyes, the throat, and groin, taunting or manipulating his opponents to throw them off their game, get them to surrender, or make them turn on each other, outright lying about his abilities or plans, use fear tactics, take any openings available, even if it was considered "unsportsmanlike", throwing dirt or spitting in their eyes, tripping them up, using ambushes or surprise attacks, fighting alongside multiple people even against a single target, using his enemies as human shields, boobytrapping the field, faking surrenders, retreats, or even his death, and even biting his opponents when he had to, amongst other methods of cheating outrageously. Although he hated it, Aurelius could be a very brutal fighter being very willing to maim or kill opponents when needed without a second thought in the moment having shattered bones or cut off limbs without hesitation. Despite his pragmatism, there were several things that Aurelius refused to do such as senseless torture, taking hostages, involving innocents or bystanders, causing excessive destruction to the detriment of others, purposely misleading or tricking his own allies, and several other especially cruel tactics that he found too repulsive to even consider. Aurelius' knowledge of combat pragmatism allowed him to counter those who did practice it, even when he wasn't fighting that way, and he eventually reached a skill level where fighting pragmatically was no longer necessary. Aurelius believed in ending fights as soon as possible with no fanfare or showing off. Aurelius was not devoid of a warrior's pride and did love fighting strong opponents in fair matches, however, he deemed his role as a protector to be the most important thing and so accepted using underhanded tactics to be an immensely valuable tool.
There was an element of darkness and savagery within Aurelius that appeared in dire circumstances such as when his loved ones or innocents were in mortal peril. This darkness caused Aurelius to become extremely brutal or even animalistic when he was sufficiently enraged, even causing him to switch into his demon form unconsciously and without any control. Although incredibly rare, Aurelius was sometimes susceptible of entering into a sort of fugue state or battle frenzy where he attacked everything he considered an enemy with an almost mindless aggression akin to a feral animal or demon, often switching into a berserker rage in his Demon form. When Aurelius got into his battle frenzy and especially in his demonic berserker rage, he tended to growl, roar, and grunt like a feral animal and acted more like a beast than a man. Aurelius would also occasionally break into psychotic smiles and demented laughter as his personality was overcome with his demonic side. After Aurelius defeated the darkness within him and became pure of heart, Aurelius no longer fell into his battle madness and excised the animalistic and brutal element with him.
Aurelius greatly valued training and spent a lot of his time doing it, and his training sessions were known to be very intense, to the point that others were completely flabbergasted by the lengths he went to improve and few could keep up with him. Aurelius stated that he did not enjoy the act of training itself, but loved the results of his hard-earned abilities that training gave him and the knowledge that it would help him protect others. Aurelius felt he always needed to hone his skills to be the best knight he could be. It was not that Aurelius needed to be perfect (which he believed was unobtainable), he just needed to do his best and always be ready to be at the top of his game. Aurelius' drive to be his best was not to be competitive with anyone except for himself; he didn't want to be better than anyone else, he just wanted to always be better than he was last. Aurelius' attitude toward honing his skills applied to more than just combat, as he felt he needed to train all of his skills regularly to keep them in top shape. Whether it was swordsmanship, music, cooking, video games, or anything else, Aurelius wanted to do his best at it and put all his effort into the things he loved. Even things that Aurelius didn't enjoy doing, he would still try his best because he "wasn't raised to do things half-baked." Aurelius was a complete workaholic who always wanted to improve, even in the things that he did to relax. This tendency was a result of his inferiority complex, which manifested in him always wanting to improve in every area possible. Although Aurelius was someone who always worked hard, he also knew the importance of taking time to relax, even if he occasionally forgot during moments of great stress. Aurelius was also a very graceful loser, always making a point of sincerely congratulating those who beat him in something and endeavoring to surpass them next time. Even if he lost a competition or battle, Aurelius still found the experience worthwhile and something to learn from, finding joy in losing as much as he found joy in winning and making sure to note the areas he should improve in or study those who beat him to learn something. Aurelius rarely turned down a challenge, happy to test his skills against others in any field he was interested in both because of the thrill of a competition or to see how much he could improve.
Aurelius meditated frequently, with it being part of his training. Aurelius meditated to train his mind and spirit, as well as to focus his thoughts and calm himself. Meditating was important for Aurelius to harness both his mana and qi, making it something integral for him to do. While Aurelius began meditating when he was a child, he initially had immense difficulties with it as he found it boring and he often got distracted. By the time he was a teenager, he could meditate for hours, though he usually restrained himself to about half an hour after he woke up in the mornings and before he went to bed.
===Intelligence ===
Aurelius was an incredibly intelligent person who was known for being quite creative and a good critical thinker, abilities that lent very well to his talents in strategy and tactics. Aurelius was very observant and analytical, being able to pick up on even the smallest clue or occurrence and use it to formulate effective plans almost instantaneously. Aurelius typically made several plans for operations to the point that he often joked that he didn't label his plans using the alphabet as it implied that he only had 26 plans. Even when his plans fell through, Aurelius was capable of coming up with something on the spot to either buy time or complete his goal while adjusting to new circumstances. Corbyn stated that Aurelius was very good at "bullshitting" and "pulling shit out of his ass." Aurelius' plans ran the gamut of being either very simple or quite elaborate, depending on what was needed. Some of Aurelius' plans also sounded incredibly stupid or risky, but Aurelius somehow found ways to make them work. Aurelius' instincts were very sharp, and he could adapt to nearly any situation without thinking about it too hard. Aurelius had an extremely keen memory which allowed him to retain most information without any difficulties. Aurelius' mind was compared to a sponge that absorbs information extremely quickly or a supercomputer that stores it for use later. Aurelius had a knack for puzzles and riddles and was the go-to whenever they came up. Aurelius' training as a prince and etiquette lessons left him very conscious of social mores, and he had some skill in reading people. Aurelius was typically a good judge of character, being able to sense what kind of person someone was from only a few interactions though he had been fooled on some occasions and his tendency to see the best in people has lead to him being more charitable to others' intentions than he should. Aurelius was generally pretty receptive to the feelings that the people around him had, though he did have a few blind spots, mostly involving love. Aurelius' strategic mind and many plans gave him a reputation as a schemer. Aurelius was a naturally curious person and he was very eager to learn more about anything he didn't have much knowledge in, often asking questions to people more knowledgeable about subjects than he was.
Despite his intelligence, Aurelius had a few moments which could make him seem somewhat dumb. When overly stressed, Aurelius tended to overthink things which occasionally caused him to overlook obvious solutions. Aurelius was originally quite naïve and somewhat gullible, though he grew out of them as he matured and became more experienced. Aurelius could be a bit of a ditz who focused on strange details or completely missed the point of conversations. Despite being very observant, there were a few matters where Aurelius could be extremely oblivious, especially when it came to romance or certain social matters. Aurelius' social awkwardness often made him say strange things and either miss social cues or be slow to process them correctly. Aurelius could also be quite scatterbrained at times, jumping between the many thoughts in his head at random which is hard for others to follow (to the point that mind readers were unable to keep up with his thoughts and were quickly overwhelmed). Aurelius also sometimes got caught up in the many thoughts in his head, causing him to space out, even in the middle of conversations, much to the bewilderment of the people around him. Aurelius' straightforwardness and occasional moments of brazenness could also make him seem very simple-minded at times. Some of Aurelius' plans which were incredibly reckless or bordered on insanity also caused people to question his intelligence, even when he got them to work. When Aurelius was younger, he tended to second guess himself because of his anxieties which resulted in him in making several mistakes by trying to compensate for what he believed were mistakes when simple solutions would work fine. Aurelius' parents joked that he seemed to have been born without common sense, though this was more centered on his bravery which almost reached the levels of stupidity. Aurelius was noted to be a bit eccentric, with him displaying strange trains of thought and occasionally going on bizarre tangents. Aurelius also had a habit of giving in to his emotions which led to him eschewing rationality and logic, for better or for worse. Aurelius claimed to be the most normal person in his friend group but was easily just as quirky as they were, if not more so at times. There were also a few matters that Aurelius simply had no knowledge in and had to have explained to him. Aurelius was aware that he wasn't always the smartest person and made jokes about his intelligence, but he also took exception to being called an idiot. Whenever someone called Aurelius dumb, he would often give a furious defense of himself which was often undercut by something proving the other person right (usually him either saying or doing something foolish) at which point he would just concede the point and roll with it. Aurelius' propensity to find himself in strange or otherwise stupid situations also did not help matters. Aurelius sometimes played up his more foolish traits deliberately either as part of a plan or trick, or simply to tease/annoy his friends and family (primarily doing so with Annaliese).
When Aurelius was younger, he was not known for being the best of scholars. Aurelius' tutors (Marianne and Gwenddydd especially) often had to keep stringent watch over him to make sure he was following along, and like most children, he found studying to be extremely boring. Aurelius could handle the material just fine, but was simply quite bored by having to study and would rather spend his time training as a knight or playing. Marianne eventually got through to Aurelius that his studies were incredibly important, so he agreed to do his best (even if he still found it to be very dull). By the time Aurelius was attending Bastion Academy, he was much more studious and quickly found himself to be one of the best students in his grade, being in the top five of his class. Aurelius often tutored his friends and anyone who asked for his help with any subjects that they needed help with, and he and his friends set up various group study sessions which helped cover the things he wasn't as good at.
Aurelius was much more attuned to the arts and humanities than STEM, though he was still quite good at those subjects, even if it wasn't his field of expertise or something he enjoyed as much. Aurelius' family history encouraged him to read more about history, and his love of folk tales and mythology inspired him to look into the cultures that begat them. Aurelius was quite knowledgeable about medieval European history. Although Aurelius had a real talent for mathematics, it was not something he liked. Aurelius could make very quick and extremely accurate calculations in his head, which was a boon for logistics and battle, but he admitted to simply not liking math and found it dull when compared to his actual interests. While not completely clueless about science, Aurelius was not very scientifically minded and only knew what he could remember from school and what applied to his daily life, frequently needing advanced concepts explained to him. As part of his mage training, Aurelius started to become more knowledgeable about science (particularly biology, chemistry, and physics) but it was still not his area of expertise, and he only learned enough to help with his abilities. While Aurelius had the capability to do very well in scientific fields, it was not a high priority of his to study in and he simply valued other areas of study more. The exceptions to this were the fields that related to being a physician, which Aurelius believed was important to study and because of his parents initial wish of him becoming a doctor. As a result of studying under his Aunt Bridget, Aurelius had knowledge of medicine and anatomy and was a moderately skilled combat medic as a result. Although not a subject he was dedicated to learning, Bridget and Nurse Prim stated that Aurelius had the potential to be a very good doctor if he wanted to pursue that field. 
Aurelius' use of magic and qi was noted to be very light on theory and knowledge of how it works, instead working more so on intuition and willpower. Despite his immense command of magic and qi and his great knowledge of spells or techniques, Aurelius simply used them through instinct without worrying too much about how they worked. Whilst others study the driving forces of magic, Aurelius simply used spells that he learned or found useful. Compared to Annaliese and Lian who mastered magic and qi through tireless study and training, Aurelius did the same mostly through intuition or a gut feeling, only practicing more on what was particularly useful or difficult and even straight up copying spells/techniques that he saw. Aurelius was also incredibly knowledgeable about the different species of monsters, demons, fae, or other beings in the world and could identify most and how to deal with them by a single look thanks to his studies and experience. 
Aurelius abhorred paperwork, but forced himself to get it done and do it right. Despite his dislike of math and his philanthropic nature, Aurelius was very knowledgeable about handling money and balancing finances, as well as how to handle assets like property or resources. Aurelius learned how to manage money as part of his training as a prince and knight, and Corbyn taught Aurelius haggling and bargaining skills. Beyond handling his own finances, Aurelius also managed the team's finances and made most of the logistical decisions, along with Lian and Annaliese.
===Likes, Dislikes, & Hobbies===
Aurelius had a great variety of different talents, skills, and hobbies which he was very good at. The reason for this is that Aurelius did not only pick up the hobbies he wanted, but he also picked up the skills that he and his family thought were essential to know in life, the knowledge that sentinels and knights were required to know, and the many hobbies and skills his siblings had which they forced him to help with. Aurelius did not have natural talent in all of these fields, but his drive to improve made him at least competent in many things if he didn't have the drive to master that skill. There were very few things that Aurelius was completely clueless about as a result of a great many hobbies and skills that he had picked up. Aurelius' friends considered him a jack of all trades, and Headmaster Henkel stated that he was a true polymath, though Aurelius himself felt that he didn't live up to such a title. Aurelius did have a few things he specialized in, but overall, he was a generalist with skills for almost any situation. Although far from the best in everything, Aurelius was competent in most things to an almost absurd level. Aurelius took some pride in his skills, though he was embarrassed when his talents were called out and he often deflected that others were better at most of those skills than he was with a blush.
Aurelius had a great love for the arts and was very talented in that field. In particular, Aurelius had a great love and passion for music and dancing, having learned several musical instruments as well as many dances of various styles. Aurelius could sing extremely well and enjoyed singing to himself, however, he was very self-conscious and embarrassed about singing in front of people which caused him to avoid doing so. Aurelius' family and friends often coaxed him into singing and he eventually became more comfortable singing, even to a large audience. Aurelius enjoyed most music genres and was not particularly picky, though he seemed favor rock (including metal and punk) and folk music (particularly European and American folk, including blues and country) the most, though he also had an appreciation for electronic, jazz, funk, hip-hop, and classical music. Aurelius also was a fan of musicals and had some history with musical theatre. Aurelius was secretly a fan of the Boulevard Brigade and other pop acts, but he was deeply embarrassed by this and pretended to know nothing about them. Ironically, despite his faith and love of music, Aurelius was not fond of most religious music and tended to stick to secular music. Aurelius had an appreciation for theater, film, television, animation, and acting in general. Aurelius was noted to be a rather good actor, having taken part in a few plays, and was noted to usually be a highlight of the performances. Aurelius' acting skills also translated to voice acting, which he was quite good at, and he even did some amateur work as a voice actor online when he was younger. Aurelius practiced a great number of arts and crafts beyond music and acting, having talents in filmmaking, drawing, painting, woodworking, leatherworking, ceramic making, metalsmithing, jewelry making, paper craft, sculpture, needle and textile arts, calligraphy, writing, photography, interior decorating, and women's fashion. Despite his love and immense talents in the arts, Aurelius only saw them as hobbies, ways to train his mind, and ways to make gifts for his loved ones. 
Aurelius had an appreciation for literature, having read the classics and being very well-read. Aurelius also grew up reading chivalric romances and chansons de geste, which helped develop his sense of justice and ideals, along with old folk tales, myths, and legends. Aurelius also secretly had a love of romance stories, but was extremely embarrassed about it and denied it whenever he was confronted with evidence. Aurelius was part of an informal book club in Bastion along with most of his friends. Despite his appreciation for literature, Aurelius himself was not much of a writer. Aurelius composed poetry of questionable quality and was prone to purple prose. Aurelius did some editing for Dahlia and later Haruhi's books, though because of the risqué subject matter, he did it under an alias, and he did not like having to do it, routinely calling the material both "filth" and obscene. Aurelius kept a journal on his person where he recorded his thoughts on life as well as the various events happening in it, which would later be published. Aurelius also wrote and published books about swordsmanship, tactics and strategy, knighthood, piety, and ethics, as well as publishing an updated version of the Lyons Family Bestiary. Aurelius was noted to be a very good storyteller with others being enraptured by his words.
While not something that a supposedly cultured prince would be expected to like, Aurelius loved playing video games, reading comic books, manga, and light novels, and watching cartoons and anime having been introduced to them by Eleanora and Janet. While Aurelius admitted that it was slightly childish, he was open about his interests and liked discussing shows, comic books, movies, and video games with his friends. Aurelius pulled some ideas, strategies, and even some of his speeches from the media he watched, but would never admit it even if someone called him out on it (with his denials usually being accompanied by a blush that gave him away). Aurelius loved fantasy and adventure stories and was also secretly a massive fan of superheroes, as well as westerns and cowboy stories. Contrastingly, Aurelius hated horror with a passion, but at the same time forced himself to watch or read it (while blatantly lying that he wasn't scared). Humorously, despite having gone through an immense amount of horrors himself, Aurelius has still never gotten used to the horror genre. Despite his hatred of horror, Aurelius had a fascination with the occult and macabre, sometimes displaying a morbid side. Aurelius also enjoyed media that he described as "so bad it's good," often watching bad movies and TV shows simply because he found them funny. Aurelius played a lot of platformers, RPGs, Metroidvanias, rhythm games, and strategy/tactical games. Growing up with his many siblings allowed him to have skill in fighting games, racing games, and other party games such that he almost always beat them, as well as his friends whenever they played (and he took some pleasure in seeing how mad they got when he inevitably beat them). Aurelius was fond of visual novels but thought people who read them exclusively were weird. Aurelius was also a fan of board games and was similarly skilled at them, though he was banned from playing strategy games by his family and friends because he was too good at them (they refused to budge on this no matter how many times he protested their decision or called it "discrimination"). Aurelius collected action figures and trading cards and was both proud and slightly embarrassed of his rather large collection.
Aurelius had a slight mischievous streak that was really only shown towards his friends. While not quite fond of pranks, Aurelius was capable of planning some diabolical ones, usually to get back at someone when he was pranked. Aurelius liked to needle some of his friends in good-natured ways because he found their reactions amusing, though he only did so with those who were comfortable with that kind of ribbing. While Aurelius was fond of telling jokes, some would call most of his jokes to be hit or miss. Aurelius has displayed a tendency toward one-liners and quips of questionable quality. Aurelius used them half-ironically, he knew they weren't really that clever or funny, but he couldn't help himself, and he found amusement in the reactions the people around him had. Aurelius also had a bit of flair for theatrics. When it came to most missions, Aurelius tended to be very serious, but when he could afford to goof off he could be very hammy. Aurelius would make very dramatic movements and speak in purple prose as though he were a character in a (very bad) play. In particular, Aurelius would often act like an extremely exaggerated version of a knight from the old chivalric romances. Aurelius also tended to get very into character when acting or using disguises, sometimes having to have the sense knocked into him so he would break character. Aurelius relished his time as the Phantom Raven as it allowed him to be as dramatic as possible. Aurelius would also occasionally play up his original accent to an outrageous extent for humor. Aurelius had moments of dry humor and sarcasm which could be biting, being very snarky and deadpan at times. Privately, Aurelius thought that Janet's puns were funny, but he would never admit it because of how smug it would make her. Aurelius also wasn't above making his own bad puns from time to time, though they were always tongue-in-cheek, and he claimed that his puns were much funnier than hers. Aurelius also found dad jokes to be funny in an ironic sense, claiming that they were so bad they looped back into being funny. Aurelius has also shown on numerous occasions to have a somewhat morbid sense of humor and appreciation for both black comedy and gallows humor. Aurelius had a very self-deprecating sense of humor, often making jokes at his own expense. Aurelius also loved absurdist humor and anti-humor, often making intentionally bizarre comments or anti-jokes because he found people's reactions amusing. Contrastingly, Aurelius was not as fond of blue comedy and shock humor compared to other forms of humor. Aurelius stated that it was very easy for those kinds of humor to fall flat and that when badly delivered those kinds of jokes were just offensive and mean-spirited with no real humor to make it worth it.
Aurelius had an appreciation for old-fashioned and traditional things, seemingly preferring them to newer ones, calling them "classics." Aurelius notably had a love for 20th and 21st-century media, especially films, TV shows, video games, and music. Despite his preference for so-called classics, Aurelius was not at all opposed to new technology and frequently made use of it, even if it took him a while to understand it. Azure made an effort to teach Aurelius about computer science, and while it took him a while to get a grasp on it, he did understand some stuff and he could code some basic programs. Aurelius technically has a better grasp of computer science than most of his friends and sometimes helped them with basic tech support, but he would never be able to cut it as a programmer, and he had no interest in that field. While not an engineer or mechanic, Aurelius also had a habit of tinkering and fixing things such as old appliances because he found it soothing and just liked fixing things, essentially being an amateur handyman. Despite having access to magic which made life much faster and easier, Aurelius preferred to do things by hand and stated he felt that he did things better by doing it himself.
Although not as great as Kaoru, Aurelius did have a love for weaponry and liked appraising whatever weapons he came across. Aurelius' favorite weapons were swords which he repeatedly has shown an immense appreciation for, to the point that Sétanta and Janet jokingly stated that he had a sword fetish (which Aurelius furiously denied). Whenever Aurelius comes into contact with a sword, the first thing he does is analyze it. When he was a young teenager, Aurelius had a distaste for firearms as he believed that they were not something a knight should use. After he began training under Corbyn and Johnny, Aurelius got over this distaste and began having some appreciation for guns. While he still preferred using melee weapons or his magic, Aurelius did come to enjoy using guns, particularly large and powerful ones.
Aurelius had a deep admiration and respect for sentinels, knights, and other similar protectors of the innocent that he deemed as heroes, almost to the point of hero worship at times. Ever since Aurelius was a child, he had been enthralled by the stories of great heroes, especially of the adventures that his family had and he was immensely proud of the great deeds that his parents in particular achieved as knights. Beyond his strong moral compass, Aurelius wanted to be a knight and sentinel to emulate the great heroes from the stories he read and his ancestors. While deeply embarrassed to admit it, Aurelius stated that when he was young he wanted to be like a fairy tale knight who vanquished evil and saved fair maidens to live happily ever after as a legendary hero. Aurelius has long since moved past that fantasy, though it played a large part in the path he chose to follow. Aurelius was still a fan of several great heroes, though he tried to keep his admiration in check, treating his idols as normal people for the most part out of professionalism, to avoid embarrassing himself, to acknowledge that his heroes were just people like anyone else, and to avoid disillusionment when meeting them. Even still, Aurelius often internally gushed over meeting his heroes, even if he outwardly appeared calm.
Aurelius' favorite sports were baseball, football/soccer, rugby, fencing, archery, wrestling, kickboxing, equestrianism, hunting, fishing, and chess, though he was also fond of other sports. Aurelius' love of fencing, archery, wrestling, kickboxing, and equestrianism all stem from his knight training, and he genuinely did love them as their own sports outside of that. Aurelius often played baseball, football, and rugby when he was younger when he wasn't training, studying, doing chores, or dealing with his siblings. Aurelius' love of soccer, rugby, and baseball could be rather intense, and he had a rivalry with his friends over teams, especially when the World Cup was on. Aurelius was a fan of professional wrestling, having been introduced to it by Janet. Aurelius was an avid chess player and was even considered a grandmaster by the World Chess Federation. Despite his love of animals, Aurelius also loved hunting and fishing but would do so in merciful ways for his prey and always thanked his quarry for its sacrifice. Aurelius was remarkably good at jousting and was even a match for knights such as Tristan, Lancelot, his father, and his mother.
Aurelius' youth exploring the forests on his family's estate, training as a knight, and time camping with his family instilled in him a love of nature and spending time outside, in particular for camping, hunting, and fishing. Aurelius loved adventure and exploring places, often spending his off time just wandering around to see what he could find (a habit that often got him into various hijinxs). Aurelius also had a knack for treasure hunting, often stumbling on treasure on his adventures and enjoying actively searching for legendary treasure or hidden locations. Aurelius also enjoyed admiring landscapes and nature itself, liking to doodle the scenery he saw in his notebook. Aurelius also had a love of traveling and learning about different cultures, especially interacting with locals. Aurelius was noted to be a very athletic child who spent much of his time doing physical activities. Aurelius is also very good with animals, being able to build strong bonds with them and interact peacefully even with wild or dangerous animals. The two exceptions are his horse, Faith, and Eleanora's dog, Bailey. Faith loved messing with Aurelius, though they were bonded on a great level, and Bailey viewed Aurelius as competition for the title of "best boy," though even he was eventually won to Aurelius' side. Aurelius' favorite animals were dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, wolves, and lions. Aurelius also knew a lot about flora as a result of helping around the farm, gardening with his family, and his survivalist lessons. Aurelius was a noted conservationist, and he believed in only taking what he needed from nature while giving back more than he took. Aurelius had a great bond with nature, possibly stemming from his Fae heritage.
Aurelius was originally a heavy sleeper, but experience and necessity eventually turned him into a light one, waking up at the slightest hint that something was near him. Aurelius was also an early riser out of habit, typically waking up long before the sun rises. Aurelius has also shown the ability to sleep virtually wherever with little problems, whether it be the cold, hard ground, a high-up tree branch, or other such place and could even sleep while standing. Aurelius has also been shown to never snore and almost be completely silent when sleeping aside from some light breathing. According to Eleanora, Aurelius was a cute sleeper (though he considered the fact that she was watching him sleep to be somewhat creepy). Aurelius developed insomnia and showed a tendency to not be able to sleep for days, if not weeks. While his superhuman physiology helped mitigate this somewhat, he still had plenty of issues from his insomnia and took measures to correct it. Aurelius eventually got too used to sleeping in uncomfortable places and was unable to sleep comfortably in his normal bed, something he was a little bitter about. Aurelius also tended to have intense nightmares, flashbacks to traumatic events in his life, the memories of either Michael or Lucifer, or eerie prophetic dreams which often unsettled or confused him, seldom having innocuous dreams and even more rarely having actual pleasant ones. During the hardest parts of his life, Aurelius often went weeks without sleeping and whenever he did sleep it only lasted for an hour or two at most before he woke up screaming from a nightmare. Aurelius eventually recovered enough to have a decent night's sleep and eventually began having mostly good dreams instead of bad ones, though the occasional nightmare still happened from time to time. 
Aurelius had a weakness for cute things, such as cute animals or plushies. Aurelius often had trouble with not gushing over adorable things, and he was often visibly holding himself back. Aurelius was also quick to remark on the cuteness of some of his friends (particularly Eleanora, Annaliese, and Zofia), family, or rarely strangers. Although he meant those comments innocuously and mostly without thinking, it was often misconstrued as teasing or flirting. Aurelius' love of cute things has sometimes led him to be caught off guard by those who use their cuteness to their advantage or cute monsters (such as his encounter with the Vorpal Rabbit). Despite his love of cute things, Aurelius hated when others called him cute, preferring to think of himself as "cool," "cultured," and "badass" and he would often end up pouting at the description, which didn't help matters.
Although he took many risks and often did complex gambits in battle, Aurelius was not one for gambling. Aurelius didn't have a problem with it and did occasionally take part in betting games, poker, or blackjack, but it wasn't something he took part in regularly, and he only did so with friends. Aurelius felt that gambling was a slippery slope and it was easy to lose great amounts of money, thus making it something unattractive to him. Despite that, Aurelius couldn't find anything wrong with gambling per se. Aurelius also didn't have much respect for con men and disliked grifters. Despite this, Corbyn did teach Aurelius how to hustle people, and he often used those skills to outsmart and trick his enemies. Aurelius could calculate odds and probability within his mind extremely easily and could bluff extremely well which were skills very beneficial for gambling, but his strange luck complicates matters. Because of his luck, Aurelius either wins bets handily without any challenge from others or does so poorly that he has no chance of winning and might as well quit, sometimes switching between the two lucks in the same match. Aurelius had the skill to be a fantastic gambler, but his luck was too chaotic for him to do well reliably.
Despite having a fear of horror media, Aurelius buried his fear when in terrifying situations and tried to stay calm and collected. While he often was completely terrified on the inside, on the outside he looked as though he was in complete control. Aurelius had a dislike and mild fear of the undead, especially ghosts and zombies. Aurelius was frightened by ghosts, but denied it and was still capable of interacting with them. Aurelius found zombies and similar beings like Draugr to be disgusting and disliked fighting them because of their rotten stench, the mess they made, and the disrespect of the dead they represented. Despite his dislike of the undead, he was fine with vampires because they retained their rationality and were not decomposing, so he thought of them as regular people for the most part. Aurelius was also extremely cautious with the Fae, despite being part fairy himself, as the morality of fairies was so different from those of humans that there was almost no hope for understanding each other fully. Similar to his caution with the Fair Folk, Aurelius was very cautious around Gods and other divine spirits for the same reasons. Despite his general love for animals, Aurelius was not particularly fond of snakes or other serpents, finding them unsettling and somewhat creepy (which was especially unfortunate for him because of Lucifer's connection to snakes as Eden's Serpent). While Aurelius had no qualms with killing monsters quickly and brutally, he was fascinated by them and liked to study them both for practical purposes and general interest. Others tend to find Aurelius' fascination with monsters to be somewhat strange or disturbing, though he countered that it was useful knowledge for sentinel work.
====Food, Drink, and Drugs====
Aurelius was a very big eater, something that many members of his family share. Even by the standards of sentinels, Aurelius and his family ate great amounts of food and could finish mountains of plates within minutes and almost every meal was a feast. Despite how much he ate, Aurelius had immaculate table manners and practiced proper etiquette. Additionally, Aurelius was embarrassed about when people pointed out how much he ate and sheepishly denied being called a glutton, defending his appetite by stating that "hunger was the enemy" and that it was important to be well fed. Unlike most of his siblings and his father, Aurelius was an amazing cook, having learned from his mother and his grandmothers. Aurelius found immense enjoyment and relaxation in cooking, especially for others. Aurelius loved baking as much as he did cooking and liked baking treats for his friends and family, especially those with a sweet tooth. Aurelius preferred to do everything homemade or from scratch, though he was not opposed to store-bought ingredients if he had no time or didn't have ingredients on hand.
Aurelius had a preference for and tended to make French, British, Italian (particularly Neapolitan), and German cuisine, though he also had an adventurous palate and loved trying new foods from different cultures, with there being very little he was unwilling to eat. Aurelius also notably had a taste for American, Indian, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese cuisine in particular. Aurelius mostly ate large and balanced meals that were very nutritious and delicious, and he often encouraged his friends and family to eat well. Even still, Aurelius had a taste for food that was unhealthy or not as nutritious especially as a treat. While not disdainful of fast food, he wouldn't choose to eat it if he had an option. Aurelius had a bit of a sweet tooth with a preference for pastries like cakes or cookies and chocolates. Aurelius also loved ice cream and gelato, with Neapolitan and Rocky Road (with peanut butter being added) being his favorite.
Aurelius had a great love for dairy, particularly cheese. Many of Aurelius' favorite dishes were cheese-based, and he liked trying different types of cheese, sometimes simply eating pieces of cheese as a snack. Despite some light mocking from his friends (aside from Eleanora and Haruhi), Aurelius also liked drinking plain milk. Aurelius had a taste for game meat, especially venison, rabbit, duck, goose, pheasant, fish, bison, and boar. Aurelius' religious beliefs precluded him from eating meat on Fridays or during Lent, so he tended to stick to fruits, vegetables, and seafood during that time. In particular, Aurelius had a penchant for apples and grapes, the former seemingly due to influence from Lucifer, the abundance of high quality apples in Avalon, and the orchards near his home and the latter being due to the vineyards near his home. Aurelius was also not afraid of eating strange or bizarre foods like the meat of carnivores (such as wolf, bear, and even lion), reptiles and amphibians, and bugs. Although more partial to more traditional foods, Aurelius was willing to try new things and often enjoyed them. Aurelius was even willing to eat monsters, though was very cautious about preparing it safely, would only do so if he had no other option, and refused to eat humanoid monsters (though he had a noted taste for dragon meat). Although Aurelius liked spicy food, he couldn't handle it very well. Despite not being able to handle it, Aurelius forced himself to eat spicy food out of pure determination and because of his love for it.
Aurelius' favorite food was macaroni au gratin, especially the recipe his grandmother Isabetta made (a massive casserole filled with macaroni, a blend of various cheeses, beef, ham, bacon, chicken, spinach, eggplant, mushrooms, onion, and broccoli and topped with béchamel sauce, bread crumbs, and several herbs and spices, and typically served with bread and tomato sauce). Aurelius has since learned her recipe and could replicate it perfectly, typically making it during special occasions or celebrations. Aurelius favorite breakfast was a variant on the Full English Breakfast, being fried eggs, fried ham, sausage, bacon, hash browns, French toast with jam and fruit, tomato, mushrooms, and porridge, along with coffee. Aurelius also loved croque madames, crepes, and waffles, though he usually made simpler meals such as cereal or pastries to save time. Aurelius seemed to favor stews and soups due to their simplicity and nutritional value, so he typically made them when supplies were limited or he didn't want to bother making more complex dishes, with his favorite stew being beef bourguignon and pot-au-feu. Aurelius was also fond of jerky as a quick snack, frequently eating it while on missions. While admittedly childish, Aurelius had always had a soft spot for chicken nuggets, particularly those that are dinosaur-shaped, though this seemed to fade as he aged. Aurelius also seemed to snack on croquettes quite a bit, usually filled with some sort of cheese or meat. Aurelius liked pizza, though unlike some of his sisters (namely Daisy) or Eleanora, he was not against the fast food version of it that was more common than the traditional versions that their family made. However, he still preferred Roman and Neapolitan pizza.
Aurelius is one of the few people to eat Alexandra’s cooking without vomiting or feeling sick, though it was quite clear that he really did not enjoy it and just asked her to keep practicing. Similarly, Aurelius was the only person to not be incapacitated by Annaliese's cooking, though it seemed to have been an intense battle to stay conscious. Aurelius has since built up a tolerance to her cooking but is very adamant that she simply lets someone else handle the cooking and seems to panic slightly whenever she decides to cook, though he still forces himself to eat it to spare her feelings. Aurelius has made attempts to teach both to cook, with mixed success. Similarly, the first time that Aurelius drank one of Lian's health drinks he nearly vomited, but forced himself to keep it down. Aurelius then lied to Lian, saying that his drink was good so as to protect his feelings. Aurelius always made an effort to not be around whenever Lian offered his health drinks from then on, often making excuses as to why he couldn't partake. Aurelius was most fond of Eleanora's cooking despite her belief of it being mediocre citing that he could taste the love and passion in it. Aurelius had an aversion to UN field rations, stating that they tasted extremely bland and had a chalk-like texture, though he would force himself to eat it when there were no other options, though he usually chugged water while eating them to make them more palatable. 
Aurelius had a great love of coffee and was very particular about how it was prepared and what blends to use. Aurelius typically drank café au lait in the mornings with his breakfast, though he also liked espresso shots or just drinking it black. Aurelius also enjoyed drinking hot chocolate with coffee mixed in. While he didn't hate instant coffee and would settle for it when on missions to save time, Aurelius preferred brewing it himself. Despite his preference for coffee, Aurelius was not opposed to tea, particularly black tea with milk and sugar or earl grey with lemon. Aurelius typically prepared and drank tea in the typical English way, which did cause some (admittedly non-serious) friction between him and some of his friends who did it the Japanese or Chinese way. Aurelius poured the tea before the milk, though he wasn't willing to argue over it. Aurelius was also very fond of Chamomile tea, especially to help mitigate his insomnia. Aurelius was not particularly fond of sodas or energy drinks, preferring to drink water, juice, milk, or lemonade. 
Aurelius was perfectly fine with drinking alcohol, though he was typically a responsible drinker and knew how to moderate himself. Aurelius was introduced to drinking at a young age, however, his family imparted to him the importance of being responsible about it. Aurelius only ever drank when he had free time, and he disliked whenever someone would drink on the job as he found it unprofessional and a liability. His family's personal estate included a rather large vineyard and cider mill that produced some of the best wines and ciders in the world, and Aurelius himself was very knowledgeable about wine to the point of being an amateur sommelier, having been drinking mugs of wine since he was seven years old (albeit extremely watered down). Beyond wine and cider, Aurelius also had a great appreciation for whisky, mead, and beer, but he was generally willing to drink anything, with Scotch and brandy being his favorite aside from wine. Aurelius' time as a bartender also gave him a great amount of knowledge on various alcohol, cocktails, and mixing techniques, and he even developed his own cocktails and drinks which were noted to both be extremely powerful but also taste quite good. Aurelius' favorite cocktails were an Old fashioned (either with whisky or brandy) and rusty nail. Aurelius' healing factor made him immune from all toxins, including alcohol, though he can allow it to affect him if he so wishes. Even without his healing factor, Aurelius had an extremely high amount of alcohol tolerance, so he drank the most powerful stuff he could feel a buzz, and the amount of alcohol he could put away was something to behold. Aurelius' tolerance was heightened by his Bastion of Heroism drive which allowed him to drink more for longer and deal with hangovers in seconds (something that made some of his friends, mostly Sètanta and Janet, very jealous). For a brief period, Aurelius' depression and melancholy caused him to begin drinking much more heavily as a coping mechanism. While his massive tolerance made it so that Aurelius rarely got more than tipsy (even with the massive amounts he drank), his friends were concerned and it did occasionally affect his judgment. Aurelius was eventually convinced by Eleanora and Annaliese to stop drinking as heavily, and he once again returned to being a moderate drinker. Drunk Aurelius was noted to be much more reckless and almost suicidally over-confident, became much more foulmouthed and hard to understand, was much more affectionate to his friends, and was extremely flirty to the point that he hit on basically anything, even inanimate objects, somehow being extremely suave despite being immensely inebriated. Once Aurelius was in a relationship, his flirtatiousness died down and he rejected all advances (or rather what he interpreted as advances, which was usually just people taking to him in general and this even extends to his partners as he couldn't recognize them) no matter what, citing that he was spoken for. All of this mixed to get Aurelius in a variety of crazy or stupid situations, with either destructive or outright bizarre consequences that he curses himself for when he comes to.
When Aurelius was a teenager and young adult, he had a slight smoking habit. Aurelius' healing factor meant that he was safe from any adverse effects of smoking, though he was wary about affecting others with secondhand smoke and tried to limit his smoking. Aurelius smoked both cigarettes and cigars, though he saved the latter for special occasions. Aurelius smoked a special brand that was designed to cut down on second-hand smoke and didn't leave much of a smell. After his grandfather, Charles, developed lung cancer from his own smoking habit, Aurelius gradually began to stop smoking. During the same period that his drinking increased, Aurelius began smoking once more as another coping mechanism. Aurelius gave up smoking for good at the same time that Eleanora and Annaliese convinced him to curtail his drinking habit. Both times that Aurelius quit smoking, he replaced the habit with chewing gum. While he didn't have a problem with others smoking, Aurelius did warn them of the health risks and chastised them when they smoked indoors, around non-smokers, or when they smoked while doing something important. While he acknowledged it as hypocritical, Aurelius did not like it when his siblings or some of his friends smoked, though he justified it as his healing factor letting him do so freely. After he quit, Aurelius tended to offer smokers gum instead of smokes when prompted. When he was still a smoker, Aurelius was mildly annoyed by Corbyn and Sètanta's constant requests to borrow his cigarettes and the fact that they kept using him as a lighter, despite both being fully capable of doing so on their own.
Aurelius had a dim view of most drugs aside from pharmaceuticals, primarily due to the health risks and the loss of control of one's faculties, so he refused to partake in them. Aurelius had immense sympathy for addicts and would offer to help them. Contrastingly, he had little to no sympathy for drug dealers as he thought there was little justification for selling narcotics. While Aurelius didn't partake in it, he thought cannabis was perfectly fine as long as it didn't hinder someone's job, although he hated the smell of it and stated that it wreaked havoc on his paranoia
====Love & Sexuality====
Aurelius' views of love can be seen as somewhat old-fashioned. Aurelius tends to put his partner above himself to the point that he would want to give everything and not take anything in return. Aurelius' views seemed to be shaped by his parents' marriage, the marriages of his older siblings, and the story books he used to read as a child. Aurelius is bisexual, though he has mentioned that he greatly prefers women. Aurelius realized he was bisexual when he was 14, and he kissed a male friend on a dare, finding that he was unexpectedly okay with the concept and enjoyed it to an extent. A better term to describe Aurelius' sexuality might be "heteroflexible" as he is very rarely attracted to those of his own gender, and he referred to his sexuality as being "mostly straight." Aurelius does not judge others for their tastes, and he respects the opinions of others on the matter. As long as no one is hurt by what they are doing, it is not his business to know or judge. While Aurelius was not opposed to casual relationships or promiscuity, he would rather sleep with someone he was in love with. Aurelius valued love much more than he did lust, and he looked for partners based on a romantic basis rather than sexual attraction. Aurelius wasn't one to wait for marriage, but he was willing to wait for his partner to be comfortable with the idea before doing anything. If his partner was never ready for intercourse, then Aurelius was perfectly willing to remain celibate for the sake of love (even if he was secretly a little disappointed about it). Aurelius tried to remain chaste as much as he could, though he hasn't always kept up with it as much as he would have liked. Aurelius thought there was nothing wrong with polygamy as long as everyone was informed and consented to the relationship, though he did think it would be hard to manage and that keeping everyone happy and satisfied would be quite the hassle. Aurelius had a very dim view of those who broke people's hearts without a second thought and those who committed infidelity. While he could be sympathetic depending on the situation and felt that it wasn't really any of his business, Aurelius found adulterers to be despicable and he had no respect for them nor did he have respect for the third party if they were aware their partner was already taken. Aurelius became positively murderous if he suspected that one of his family members or friends was being cheated on. Aurelius was completely disgusted by the idea of incest, viewing it as something revolting, and the idea caused him to vomit. Aurelius also hated domestic abusers, rapists, and pedophiles with a burning passion, being perfectly willing to give immense and violent retribution to one who was proven to be one without remorse. Aurelius was disgusted by the objectification of others, finding it immensely disrespectful and demeaning. While he had no issues with complimenting others on attractive features, he believed there was a line between compliments and harassment or degrading others. 
While Aurelius is interested in romance, he is rather clueless when it comes to it. Aurelius was not particularly much of a flirt, however, he frequently made comments and observations that were intended to be innocuous but were perceived as him flirting. As a result, Aurelius has accidentally charmed a great number of people without meaning it and not even understanding that it happened. Aurelius only really flirted with the people he was serious about courting, however, his flirts were somewhat corny, though some find them to be endearing and charming in their own way. Aurelius has a slight reputation as a charmer, not in that he had many relationships, but in that he constantly accidentally caused people to fall for him, though most of this was simply people misinterpreting simple conversations as something more. Aurelius was mostly unaware of this reputation, though once he caught on, he was very annoyed by it, and he disliked the idea of being a heartbreaker.
Aurelius could be somewhat thickheaded when it came to recognizing when others were attracted to him, though this mostly appeared when he was younger. Aurelius was described as being incredibly dense, as he was generally unable to tell whenever someone was interested in him. Many people have shown to be attracted to him, but Aurelius seldom noticed. Aurelius' obliviousness seems to stem from his somewhat sheltered upbringing and his large family. He simply misinterpreted affectionate behavior for someone being friendly toward him, unless they were being blatant about it. It had been joked that someone could outright confess their love to Aurelius, and he still wouldn't understand what they were saying. It also took Aurelius quite a while to catch most innuendo and double entendres, usually not understanding what people meant until several seconds after the comment was made or if someone explained it to him. Once Aurelius did catch on, he tended to get extremely flustered. Aurelius' friends originally thought he had to be deliberately trying to miss the subtext and advances that others made toward him, but it was apparent that he really was just that dense. As Aurelius grew older, he began recognizing when people were attracted to him more and more. Aurelius was torn on whether he found the attention to be flattering or annoying. Aurelius was jokingly compared to a harem protagonist, something that he disliked immensely. Aurelius seemed to attract a lot of people who tended to be obsessive or even psychopathic, what some would call a yandere which he found extremely concerning. He also weirdly attracted older women, especially mothers, for unknown reasons which he thought was odd but was not entirely displeased by. In a way, this denseness also protected Aurelius from seduction attempts, as he often didn't realize that they were attempts in the first place, and when he did notice he rejected them out of hand.
Aurelius truly didn't typically have his mind in the gutter and didn't give sexual matters much thought unless he was with a partner. Aurelius was also very flustered whenever the topic of sex came up, often decrying it as inappropriate and trying to steer the subject to something less risqué. Aurelius seemed to be very flustered by people teasing him as well as overt romantic/physical advances, usually being left into a blushing and stuttering mess. While Aurelius would chastise and protest against these types of propositions and teases, they only made him a bigger target for teasing. Aurelius was somewhat uncomfortable with nudity when around others, always averting his eyes when others were undressed and insisting that they put clothes on (usually blushing the entire time), and didn't like being undressed around others, aside from, at most, being shirtless. Aurelius was able to work past his issues with nudity when he had to, but he was still uncomfortable with it and still blushed heavily. Aurelius claimed to be inoculated to exposure to women's undergarments because of his many sisters, though he still showed a level of discomfort around them when he wasn't doing laundry. Aurelius seemed to be uncomfortable with his desires at least somewhat, though he started to have a more healthy attitude on it as he matured. Others have suggested that Aurelius' religious upbringing has made him a little repressed, though he didn't care for that line of thinking even if he thought there might have been some truth to it. Aurelius did not see much of a point to pornography or masturbation and abstained from those activities, preferring to work out to deal with his libido. Whenever Aurelius did pick up on people's advances toward him, he would turn them down gently and politely (after he got over his embarrassment) but has also been shown to grow very annoyed when pestered enough. Aurelius stated that he was interested in romance and eventually starting his own family, but he was more concerned with his career as a knight and sentinel and wished to focus on that before dedicating himself to someone else. Because of this, Aurelius' mother once (mostly jokingly) bemoaned that she was never going to get grandkids from him because he was "about as horny as a dead fish," much to his mortification. 
While Aurelius believed that chastity was a virtue and was rather oblivious regarding attraction and euphemisms, he wasn't as innocent or as naïve as he presented himself as. Aurelius wasn't immune to perverse thoughts or dreams, and his mind could be rather lewd at times, though he chastised himself stating they were unbecoming of a knight. As much as Aurelius protested when someone teased him, he also admitted to enjoying it at least a little. While he usually avoided the question and thought that it was mildly objectifying, Aurelius did have a type. Aurelius believed that a person's most attractive features were their eyes and personality. Aside from that, Aurelius has shown an appreciation for thick thighs and toned legs, though he would never admit it and didn't make his attraction obvious. Aurelius was not too concerned with breasts or buttocks, liking them whether they were large or small. Aurelius also had a thing for petite (or at least short) women. Aurelius also liked strong women, especially ones that could challenge him in a fight. While he doesn't typically go for men, he does seem to like more feminine or androgynous men than masculine ones, with an appreciation for pretty boys, typically ones that were significantly more slender and shorter than he was. Aurelius is seemingly attracted to femininity more than anything else, though he doesn't have a problem with "tomboys" which he also expressed some appreciation for. Aurelius seemingly had a thing for older or more mature women, but he furiously denied it when it was brought up with a massive blush. Drunk Aurelius was also extremely flirty and hit on nearly anything in his line of vision, unless he was in a relationship. Aurelius had edited some of Dahlia's (and later Haruhi's) "literature" which was erotic. While Aurelius found their work to be indecent and only edited them begrudgingly, it did lead to him being more informed of certain salacious acts than one might think of him, even as he decried their work as indecent and filthy. Aurelius also had a strong suspicion that the protagonist of Dahlia's works was based on him, and his exploits were very exaggerated or fictionalized versions of the situations Aurelius found himself in, which frustrated him to no end. While Aurelius attempted to remain chaste and turned down anyone who made advances toward him politely and gently (usually while blushing madly), he has also engaged in his temptation and slept with people casually, despite typically trying to remain chaste. This was very rare and Aurelius felt some guilt for it, but it has happened occasionally and he didn't think it was immoral.
Aurelius was noted to be very chivalrous and courteous in how he expressed his love. Aurelius was a very affectionate and caring partner and was not shy about expressing his adoration. Aurelius was known for being very physically affectionate with friends and especially with his significant others. Aurelius was noted to do everything in his power to keep his significant other as happy as possible. Aurelius' actions while dating were somewhat old-fashioned, but that was considered charming in its own way, even if he could be an absolute cornball. Aurelius was also known to give frequent gifts and perform acts of service for those he cared for whether they were family, just friends, or if they were romantically connected. Aurelius also had a habit of giving grand romantic gestures, though he was often casual at his partner's request. Contrastingly, Aurelius tended to get embarrassed when he was given affection, though he was very happy and appreciative, often sporting a goofy little smile. Even so, Aurelius' embarrassment causes him to try to deflect and others noted that he could be a bit of tsundere regarding affection (particularly when it came to Annaliese or Valeria). Despite his embarrassment, he truly was happy to receive love and tended to be more sweet with his lovers than anything else.
While Aurelius was originally more than a little flustered and embarrassed about intercourse when he was younger, he became more confident as he grew more experienced. Aurelius himself seemed to be much more vanilla than most of his partners and was more partial to passionate lovemaking than anything else, but he was willing to adjust in any way to match his partner's needs and wants. Aurelius stated that his only fetishes were making his partner completely satisfied and whatever fetish his partner had. Aurelius was a switch who didn't mind being dominant/rough or submissive/gentle, as long as everyone involved was happy and fulfilled. From comments from Aurelius' partners and what has been seen of his behavior, while Aurelius is usually chaste and loving, he can be much more lascivious, perverted, and even teasing in the right circumstances, to the point that he has been compared to an incubus (though he didn't appreciate the insinuation). Aurelius was a very generous, enthusiastic, and skilled lover, though he refused to talk about it because he found it embarrassing and improper.
After getting married and having children, Aurelius would take any opportunity to gush about his wives or his children. Some people find this habit to be annoying, though others find his love of his family to be admirable. Aurelius is a devoted husband and loves his wives with all his heart. Aurelius is a loving father and cares for his children deeply. He tries his best to be the father his children deserve, and it seems that he succeeded. His children adore him even as adults as much as they might hate to show it. He also desperately wants to be a cool dad, in addition to being a good one. While some of his kids think he's cool, a lot of them simply say that dads can't be cool which he stated felt like an arrow to his heart and was possibly some of the worst damage he had ever taken. He supports his children in all their pursuits without question and encourages them to do what makes them happy, while also being a firm but gentle hand to guide or discipline them when needed.
=====Gender Identity=====
Although Aurelius was born and identified as a cisgender man, he had little trouble with being seen as feminine or androgynous. Aurelius cared little for traditional gender roles and standards and didn't mind being seen as effeminate, stating that he was proud to be in touch with his feminine side. Aurelius had no problems with doing stereotypically feminine actions or with the fact that he looked somewhat androgynous as he was very comfortable with his gender identity. It was also noted that Aurelius' mannerisms could be somewhat effeminate, and he occasionally came off as androgynous, though most would still clearly recognize him as a boy. Although he didn't do so often unless he had to, Aurelius had no problems with cross-dressing or wearing women's clothes. While he still preferred wearing men's wear, he wasn't opposed to wearing feminine clothing if he had to or if his family and friends wanted him to. Aurelius also looked very good in women's clothing, to the point that he could convincingly pass for a woman. As proven by Merlin's gender-flipping spell, Aurelius also made for an extremely beautiful woman. Aurelius was initially very unhappy with the transformation, mostly because it was essentially forced onto him without his consent. Despite his initial dislike of it, Aurelius just went along with it and eventually was somewhat accepting of the form. Aurelius also began to feel amusement and mild pride about the attraction that others felt toward him/her. While Aurelius has made more use of it occasionally (mostly as a disguise), he still sees himself as a male and has no interest in living any other way.
Adding to this, growing up with so many women in his life left him very knowledgeable about stereotypically feminine things like haircare, makeup, women's fashion, periods, and other such things. Aurelius' sisters often forced him to help them style their hair, put on makeup, and coordinate their outfits, or occasionally use him as a test dummy for those very things. Aurelius could also walk, run, and even fight in high heels because of his sisters. They also occasionally forced him to be their personal masseur which he found annoying, but he couldn't find it in his heart to turn them down. Aurelius often helped his friends with these as well, and so he was declared an honorary girl, to his mild amusement and exasperation. While some might consider it weird for a guy to know these sorts of things, Aurelius doesn't bat an eye at it and considers it normal. Aurelius later realized that his sisters may have been trying to make him the perfect house-husband which irritated him, but he simply rolled with it as it was very useful and he had no real reason to complain.
===Religious Beliefs and Philosophy===
Aurelius was very religious and was a devout Roman Catholic. While he didn't bring it up often and he didn't try to convert anyone, he was raised as a member of the church and both sides of his family held very strong ties to the Papacy, though those ties became tenuous after the Tragedy of Monte Sant'Angelo. Aurelius' faith was something instilled in him from an early age and he attended service on Sundays, was an alter boy when he was younger, and he frequently prayed (usually in the morning, at night, and before meals as well as during difficult situations). While Aurelius was faithful and not ashamed of it, he was not dogmatic and fully believed that his faith was something that was his and his alone. While Aurelius was very devout in his beliefs, he often remarked that he wasn't a good Catholic and his friends joked that he was the epitome of Catholic guilt. Aurelius often broke from religious doctrine to do what he believed was right rather than follow slavishly to what the church stated was good. Although this would technically make him a Protestant, Aurelius is in denial about it. Aurelius also had a few folk and even pagan beliefs, which he admitted were not in line with traditional Catholic teachings but was unwilling to do away with.
Aurelius acknowledged the existence of other religions and the different Gods that existed, though he did not worship them. Aurelius respected the other Gods and people of different faiths, though he was dedicated to his own beliefs and was unwilling to convert to another religion. That said, Aurelius enjoyed learning about other religious faiths or philosophies. While he would not change his mind, he found learning about them to be important and they helped him come up with new ideas on how to understand his own faith. Through his travels, Aurelius learned about a variety of different faiths and philosophies throughout the globe which he would reinterpret for his own beliefs. Aurelius also discussed piety, faith, and philosophy with anyone willing to talk about them in a friendly discussion. Aurelius got along rather well with most deities and divine beings, even counting some of them as his friends and mentors. Aurelius was also rather superstitious but some matters such as luck or other smaller things. Even though he was accepting of other religions, Aurelius was not above sniping at non-Catholic Christians about theology in either playful or passive aggressive ways, particularly with Dimitri (who was Eastern Orthodox) and he often playfully made fun of Protestants (jokingly stating Protestants were the true enemy of justice). Aurelius often used Michael and Lucifer's knowledge to back up his beliefs, while blatantly and hypocritically ignoring anything that went against Catholic doctrine unless it was important.
Aurelius did not believe in destiny, finding it to be something the idea of predeterminism to be too horrifying to even consider. Aurelius subscribed fully to free will and stated that the idea of Fate robbed people of choice in their lives. In Aurelius' mind, a person's actions determined the future, and the future was itself unquantifiable. Aurelius believed that anyone who quantified their success, failures, or actions as "destiny” was not taking responsibility for them. Those who used destiny as justification for evil were people that Aurelius found especially sickening. While certain magics, items, and individuals dealt with fate, Aurelius believed that they were less about "destiny" and more so about probability, with things like the Future Sight Art showing its user the most likely probability and prophecies being more akin to predictions of the future than anything being set in stone. Aurelius stated that the proven nature of alternative universes and differing timelines proved that destiny was not real, as life could take so many different directions. Aurelius denied that Gods had the authority to give humans free will, claiming that it was something innate in nature to all beings. With knowledge of the Monad and the algorithm that governed reality, Aurelius acknowledged that Fate was a real force in that the Universe did push for certain results, but destiny was not always accurate, and it could be subverted, causing reality to adapt to that subversion. Aurelius considered his own existence as such an example, as he was supposed to die at birth but survived through sheer willpower which caused the universe to adapt to that change. Thus Aurelius accepts that Fate is a real force, but is not all powerful and can be changed. Aurelius eventually became completely divorced from the concepts of fate, making him one of the rare people who is entirely capable of carving out his own destiny without heed of what path the universe wants to set him on. While not exempt from consequences or karma, Aurelius stills follows what he believes is good rather than be forced to do things the universe and fate has decided that he should be doing.
As time went on, Aurelius gradually began losing faith in the church and God. Aurelius admitted that although he believed in and worshiped God, he did not believe that God did much to intervene in humanity and honestly did not think He was all-powerful or truly omniscient. Aurelius was of the mind that mankind must take it upon themselves to do what was right rather than wait for God to fix things for them. Aurelius' view of things was something that was backed up by Michael and Lucifer which he found disappointing despite having already believed that. Later the madness of Pope Alexander X and the revelation that God had been corrupted into solely being the malevolent Yaldabaoth which he eventually slew destroyed all of Aurelius' faith in religion.
Although Aurelius remained a member of the Church, an ally of Heaven, and many of his values were still entrenched in his prior faith, he found no point in worshiping a God who could not hear his prayers and said his values, while based on religion, were not beholden to it. Even after learning of the Monad and the Aeons, Aurelius did not worship either. Instead, Aurelius viewed the Monad as a sort of algorithm that made the universe what it was and not a God and the Aeons as caretakers of said source, something worthy of respect but he had no interest in worshiping. Aurelius also cites the fact that the Gods and other similar beings are no different than humanity in most ways as a reason why he doesn't worship them, stating that they were just another form of life that simply had more power than the others. Similarly, Aurelius denied being considered divine at all times, despite having more power than most Gods and qualifying as a divine spirit in most regards. Aurelius states that he was born a human and remains as such, never going through apotheosis and finding the idea to be appalling.
Despite no longer being a believer, Aurelius was still a practicing Catholic in most respects and was still very active in his local diocese. Aurelius' reasons for doing so were because of habit, familial ties, tradition, and because of the community which he valued immensely. Even if he no longer believed and had some issues with certain teachings, Aurelius thought that religion was still mostly a positive force in his life and that even if God had been corrupted and killed, the teachings associated with Him were still valuable. Aurelius jokes that despite having technically killed God, he was still a devoted Catholic.
Aurelius believed that life had no inherent meaning to it, but that meant that it was up to a person to make meaning from that. Aurelius chose that the meaning he wanted to impart to life was that of protecting the innocent and making the world better. While he acknowledged that the world was extremely cruel and unfair, he also found the world a beautiful place filled with just as much good as there was evil. Even if the world was often a horrible place to live, he believed that it was his duty and the duty of like-minded individuals to make the world one worth living in. Even if he ultimately achieves nothing through his efforts, the act of having tried would leave him satisfied with what happened. If Aurelius were to die even in service of saving a single life, he would accept his death with open arms.
Having briefly fused with the Monad, Aurelius was overloaded with the truth of all things and could bend reality to make it in any way that he saw fit, as well as reaching total enlightenment. Despite this, Aurelius willingly gave up that fusion and chose to forget everything he did not know before the fusion. Aurelius also remade the world almost exactly as it was before, only making minor changes to fix some problems and help people achieve their desires and reach true happiness. While Aurelius could have remade the world in his image and forcibly make everyone happy to remove all suffering from the world, he believed that would mean robbing people of their free will, which he considered fundamental to their nature. Aurelius instead chose to give everyone the opportunity to find that happiness, but give them the choice to pursue it. Aurelius chose to live his life as he did before, making the world better with his own means and the hope that humanity would make his dream a reality on its own without him forcing it.
===Trauma & Mental Issues===
From a young age, Aurelius was noted to have some deep-rooted mental troubles that came from his rather rough life. As a child, Aurelius' family knew that his near-death experience as an infant had some issues with him which the Tragedy of Monte Sant'Angelo only exacerbated. Aurelius was noted to have matured much faster than a child should have, and his views of life were rather warped when compared to others. While he had never been diagnosed with anything, Aurelius and those who knew him theorized that there was something wrong with his mental state, and he was shown to have intense psychological problems. Even Aurelius' selflessness and desire to help people was noted to have a very negative effect on him and showed his very low value of himself, such that others have urged him to take things easier than he was. Aurelius suffered from periods of depression, clearly had PTSD, occasionally had moments of psychosis, had a degree of darkness within him, and has even shown suicidal impulses. Aurelius has consistently received therapy and support from his family and friends to help keep him in check and reach stability.
While he is normally a very happy-go-lucky person who looks on the bright side of life, he does have moments of angst, though he mostly keeps those moments to himself. Much of Aurelius' angst is in regards to his complex with his competency, the times he had failed to save others and the guilt he felt about the tragedies he experienced. Even after Aurelius stopped having nightmares about the Tragedy of Monte Sant'Angelo, it still drove him to prevent such suffering from ever happening again, and he was driven by an intense need to bring the perpetrators to justice. Aurelius suffered greatly from survivor's guilt and has been referred to as the embodiment of guilt by his friends. The many times that Aurelius has come close to death from infancy to adulthood but survived, where so many others died weighed on him heavily as he felt he had no business living when others were not as lucky. As much as his deep belief in justice was out of genuine conviction and desire for peace in the world, a large part of him believed he owed it to the dead to bring the world peace and righteousness and part of him believed he would die in pursuit of this goal which in his mind was also a form of justice. The presence of his friends, family, and mentors helped temper these feelings into a healthier mindset, however, they were still present in some qualities and would magnify as time went on and he went through more tragedies. Aurelius' survivor's guilt caused him to believe that he was cursed to cause suffering for everyone around him and that he would survive to continue failing at making things right.
Aurelius was very insecure about himself and his abilities, manifesting in both impostor syndrome and an inferiority complex. Aurelius frequently compared himself to his friends and family, especially to his ancestors. Aurelius felt his abilities were not enough to protect people, and he developed a complex over it, something that only worsened with time because of his guilt from being unable to help others. No matter how much he improved or how suited he proved to be for the role of a hero, he simply could not see himself in a positive light. Aurelius lacked much self-esteem to the point that he seemed to genuinely hate himself at times. While he usually played off his negative comments about himself as simple self-deprecation, sometimes his true feelings about himself would shine through. As Aurelius grew older, he began to feel that his reasons for being a hero were very selfish, foolish, and misguided. In Aurelius' mind, he became a sentinel to play at being a hero for his ego and not saving people, freely calling himself selfish and self-entitled for it. When Aurelius told stories of his exploits, he tended to call himself an idiot and rag on himself heavily. Aurelius' friends and family would say he is distorting the truth and is being too hard on himself, as he had proven multiple times that he always had the heart of a hero. This attitude has shown to have manifested into a hero complex, with him basing his self-worth on his ability to help others. It was not a healthy way of living, and his friends and family had to keep him from going too far, despite them also falling toward this pattern of thinking. Part of Aurelius' inferiority complex is rooted in his parent's initial refusal to train him and overprotectiveness, which he interpreted as them seeing him as weak and believing he couldn't do anything on his own. While this couldn't be further from the truth, Aurelius always tried to be his best at everything both to prove them wrong and to try and convince himself that he had value. No matter how much he improved, it was rarely enough for him to be satisfied.
Aurelius' feelings of inadequacy drove him to train himself to the point of exhaustion. At one point, Aurelius had gone several days without sleeping and barely eating so that he could focus on training. Aurelius mentally and physically destroyed himself by doing this and had to be kept in the infirmary for days, even with his healing factor for mandatory rest. For a brief while, Aurelius' friends, family, and mentors did not trust him to take care of himself, so they kept a stringent watch over him to make sure he was doing things in moderation. Aurelius gradually started to go back to normal after a while, though these unhealthy habits would occasionally resurface, especially during periods of stress.
Whenever issues relating to the Tragedy of Monte Sant'Angelo were brought up, Aurelius notably became more obsessive about the subject. Aurelius felt he had a responsibility to bring the perpetrators to justice and the trauma from the event would haunt him for his entire life. Aurelius' obsessive behavior made him much more irritable and rude to others as he focused everything on finding out more about the event and trying to avenge the fallen. Although he had no idea of who the demonic angel he saw leading the army was, the mere thought of him made Aurelius' rage and hatred become so potent that he released an aura of pure malice and caused the area where he was stabbed to ache, despite the wound having healed completely years ago. Whenever Aurelius fought Samael or others related to the tragedy, he was rendered into a state of unyielding rage that left him as nothing more than a snarling beast. Whenever Aurelius believed he had an inkling of where Samael was, he would immediately rush there to seek vengeance in a fury without planning. 
Headmaster Henkel noted early on that while Aurelius was a good person overall, there was a darkness inside him. While one might assume that it was his demonic heritage that was the source of his darkness, Henkel specified that his demonic side may have amplified the darkness, however, it was something that naturally originated within Aurelius and was hidden so deep that not even Aurelius knew it was there. Upon further analysis, Henkel concluded that it was not that Aurelius held evil in his heart, but that his righteous nature, strong love for all, and desire for justice would have the capacity to be taken too far, and his demonic nature only heightened that. Henkel feared that one day Aurelius' ideals and love for others would cause him to do heinous actions in the name of justice if it was not kept in check. Some signs of this behavior were moments where innocent people or the people he loved were put in extreme danger, especially at the hands of people. Aurelius was observed to fight more brutally and act much more bloodthirsty than he was usually like. Aurelius typically kept a level head while on missions and had a high tolerance for most horrors and crimes, however when he was pushed over the threshold he snapped completely and was directly compared to a feral animal or even a mindless demon, even unconsciously turning into his demon form. These events caused Aurelius to become extremely brutal and he nearly needlessly killed people because he was too blinded by his emotions to care. While Aurelius always showed remorse and guilt over these slip-ups, and they were extremely rare, those who were aware of the potential darkness made sure to help him deal with it before it consumed him. Because of this Aurelius was kept on watch by his professors, and he had taken mandatory counseling to keep him on the straight and narrow. Aurelius' angelic nature helped mitigate this, though he still struggled to control it. Michael, Lucifer, and Aurelius' friends helped him calm down to prevent him from going too far. Aurelius started working on bettering himself in that aspect and was successful in that regard, but his progress was set back because of the months of torture at the hands of Ayin's Cabal. Because of that torture, Aurelius' default state became this dark one, and it remained so until he began working to improve himself once more. After Aurelius defeated Diabolus and became pure of heart, Aurelius no longer fell into his battle madness and became a fully virtuous figure without the animalistic brutality or sadistic cruelty that once plagued him.
Aurelius experienced several tragic and horrific events that had massive impacts on his psyche, the biggest being the Battle of Bastion. These events caused many of his friends and loved ones to be killed or maimed, he experienced great betrayal, and his body was heavily broken by these events, even if he eventually recovered from them. Aurelius was traumatized by these events, and his mental state took a sharp decline. Additionally, the new trauma he experienced only enflamed the trauma from the Tragedy, further causing him mental issues. Aurelius went into a period of depression and both his guilt and martyr complexes were inflamed to a much greater extent. Aurelius put up a mask of being his old self but was still in pain. Aurelius blamed himself for the deaths that occurred and showed signs of wanting to distance himself from his friends and family so that they were less likely to get hurt.
Aurelius eventually completely abandoned his friends and family to deal with the issues himself, something that backfired horribly. Aurelius worked himself ragged every day and was easily dispatched and captured by Ayin's Cabal, who proceeded to torture and experiment on him, as well as facing humiliation and abuse from both Cornelia Dracula and Lilith. Aurelius was heavily and deeply traumatized by the violations and abuse he suffered and even began disassociating at some point during it. The experimentation also resulted in Aurelius losing access to Lucifer and Michael, only adding to his isolation and mental degradation. Aurelius' mental instability began to grow such that he began seeing apparitions of his friends who died in the Battle of Bastion, the people who died in the Tragedy of Monte Sant'Angelo, and the people he had killed. While he knew they were not real, his psychosis began heavily affecting him. Aurelius was also haunted by an unknown being with a similar appearance to himself called "Diabolus" which appeared to tempt Aurelius into following his darker impulses and giving into his rising bloodlust and madness.
Aurelius would eventually escape his imprisonment, but he changed immensely from the experience. Aurelius had fully given in to his madness, and his instability turned into a terrible rage, bloodlust, and desire for violent revenge against Ayin's Cabal. Aurelius' violent tendencies flew out of control, and he was much more belligerent and wrathful. When fighting, Aurelius became much more ruthless, no longer caring if his enemies died when he fought them, and he often went out of his way to kill. Aurelius' fighting style became reckless, and he actively and intentionally killed his foes brutally and with no remorse, even in situations where it would be better to let them live. During the Battle of Edirne, Aurelius killed many soldiers in brutal ways when simply capturing them should have been enough. In the aftermath of the attack, Aurelius tortured a captured soldier by savagely beating her until she told him information about the leaders of the raid, before killing her despite promising to let her live. Aurelius subsequently hunted the leader down and brutally killed him in an act of vengeance without a second thought. Despite admonishment from his friends, Aurelius stated that he did not care and that he was glad that he was dead. Beyond his increased violence, Aurelius became much more cynical and blunt, as well as appearing much colder. Aurelius also stopped being physically affectionate, instead developing a dislike for being touched. Aurelius disregarded everything besides becoming stronger and fighting "evil." Aurelius barely ate and slept more than he was required to, and he spent most of his time training if he didn't have an enemy to fight. Aurelius didn't bother disguising this new darkness, showing himself to be much more belligerent and violent. Aurelius was obsessed with delivering "justice" to those he deemed as monsters, but it became clear that he was on the way to becoming a monster himself. Aurelius held no illusions about his behavior and considered himself to be just as bad as those he sought revenge against, seeming to be suicidal at times and even asking his friends to put him down if he survived getting his revenge.
Beneath his wrathful and damaged mental state, some of Aurelius' characteristics still shined through. He still believed in helping people and still believed wholeheartedly in the protection of the innocent and those who could not protect themselves. Although Aurelius stopped helping everyone he met, it was clear that part of him was very much tempted to return to his old ways. Aurelius also still had remnants of a softer side with a few people, especially children where he let his darker mask down. No matter how he acted, it was very clear that he did not enjoy his actions, and his self-hatred burned even hotter with every move he made. Much of his behavior was him convincing himself that it was the only path he had because of how weak and unworthy he was, as well as his delusions and Diabolus pushing him to be a monster. Annaliese stated that she believed that Aurelius' monstrous attitude was mostly a mask for a traumatized and broken man who didn't know how to process his feelings anymore. Lian noted that while rage and hate were part of his actions, it was primarily his love for those who had fallen that drove Aurelius and his belief that they needed to be avenged to reach peace. Even with his standoffish and cold demeanor he still loved his friends, even as he pushed them away. Even when Aurelius threatened them, there was not much intent behind his words, and it was clear that he would never actually hurt them. Still, Aurelius pushed his friends away, which only fed into his feelings of isolation. Aurelius also seemed to be driven to tears in private over his actions and what happened to him, with the few times he actually fell asleep often starting with him crying himself to sleep and he often woke up screaming because of his nightmares and psychosis.
During the attack on Ayin's hideout in Armageddon, Aurelius ran off to fight them himself. During that battle, Aurelius became so enraged and obsessed with revenge that he brutally killed several cultists without a thought and broke out into manic, mirthless laughter and oscillated between an unnerving smile and twisted scowl during the fight. Aurelius was ultimately subsumed by Diabolus and lost control of his body to him, becoming nothing more than a vessel for the Great Red Dragon of the Apocalypse. Aurelius' friends had to do battle with him until Diabolus was unable to maintain his hold on him, his friends barely salvaging a win.
While he was not himself while Diabolus controlled him, Aurelius was aware of what happened to him, and he realized that he had massive problems he needed to deal with. Aurelius began addressing his problems with the help of his friends, but the healing process would prove to be long and hard. During the early parts of his recovery, Aurelius tried to keep up appearances though it was clear that he was still in great pain. Aurelius was plagued with guilt over his actions, and he took many steps to atone for them but was never satisfied with any of them. Aurelius also felt that he had gravely disrespected the memories of the fallen with his abhorrent behavior he did in their name, not being able to forgive himself for sullying their memories. Aurelius' most self-destructive tendencies also made a big return because of his feelings. Aurelius showed signs of being suicidal in that he was very willing to sacrifice his life both to keep others alive and because he felt it would be a way to atone for his sins. While he wasn't actively trying to die, he was willing to lay down his life and was very cavalier about any injuries he took. When he was confronted by the relatives of one of the people he killed, Aurelius was very tempted to simply offer up his life for seeing it as justice, but his friends snapped him out of it and helped him realize that by living to atone for his actions he would help far more people that simply letting himself die. Aurelius began drinking heavily as a coping mechanism and had to be nudged back into a healthy mindset. Aurelius was still haunted by the ghosts of the fallen conjured by his delusions, and Diabolus still haunted him and tried to get him to become a monster one more. Despite the temptation, Aurelius stayed strong and began addressing his inner demons through counseling, help from his friends, and meditation. Though it took time, Aurelius was eventually able to eradicate Diabolus from his mind and clear his psychosis, returning to a healthier mindset and also allowing him to speak to Lucifer and Michael once more. Aurelius also began to forgive himself for his sins and work to truly atone for them.
After his recovery, Aurelius mostly returned to how he once was, though his personality did slightly shift. Aurelius was slightly more cynical and blunt, being a bit snippier and snarkier. While never to the point that he could be considered rude or belligerent, there was a noticeable change. Aurelius was still considered the perfect knight in many ways, though he was much more deadpan and jaded. Despite his jadedness, Aurelius still held himself up to his ideals and stood by them without question. This only got reinforced as time went on as Aurelius became much more world-weary but still idealistic and heroic. If anything his experiences made his beliefs stronger. Aurelius may have seen the worst that humanity had to offer, but he still believed in protecting them wholeheartedly and took whatever steps he could to protect others. Aurelius also tamed his inner darkness and savagery through therapy, meditation, and the guidance of Michael and Lucifer. Aurelius was much more in control of his emotions and never flew into his terrible rages again or had to worry about becoming a monster, with him remaining completely in control of himself. Aurelius even managed to control his rage and hatred towards Samael, not excising it but gaining control over it to fight him effectively. Aurelius' conflicts with his potential future counterparts made him confront his convictions and what he valued, cementing his beliefs once and for all. Aurelius was still ridden with trauma and guilt over everything he had seen and experienced, from the lives he had taken, the traumatic events he experienced, the people he had failed to save, his men who died under his orders, and the general horrors he had faced. While he still suffered, he did begin accepting help from his friends and even therapy to help deal with it. While he would never be cured of his trauma, he was able to function past it and continue living as anyone else would.
===Angel Form===
===Demon Form===
When Aurelius turned into his demonic form, his personality changed greatly. Aurelius became much more arrogant, violent, aggressive, and cruel. Aurelius was compared to a cat playing with a mouse before killing it, being much more willing to mock and humiliate his opponents before brutally breaking them down. Aurelius would also occasionally break into manic smiles and fits of insane laughter that shocked and terrified the people who heard them. This form increases all of Aurelius' worst aspects to a great degree. Aurelius also became much more concerned with his royal heritage, freely calling himself a true prince and king that all others should bow down before. Aurelius' usual filter was downplayed, with him being much more liberal with foul language than usual. While he did not swear excessively, he no longer censored himself and became even more blunt. Aurelius seemed to develop a taste for blood while in this form, almost acting similar to a vampire in certain respects. 
Aurelius was also more susceptible to going into a berserker rage whilst in the form, during which he was compared to a feral animal. In this state, Aurelius tended to growl, roar, and grunt like a monster or act like a mindless beast, concerned with nothing but causing as much destruction as possible.
After becoming pure of heart, Aurelius' personality no longer changed while in his Demon form. Aurelius retained all control of the transformation, only gaining an increase in power.
==Appearance==
=== General Appearance ===
Aurelius was a man of British and French origin with golden blond hair, ultramarine blue eyes, and fair skin. While he was small and skinny as a child, by the time Aurelius reached adulthood, he was very tall and muscular, standing at 6'5" and having a lean, but muscular build. Aurelius had a physique that was suitable for a variety of physical activities like long-distance running, swimming, gymnastics, strength, and all kinds of combat. Although muscular and well-built, Aurelius was not bulky and did not sacrifice maneuverability or speed for strength, having all three in spades. Aurelius had always been very physically fit, and his occupation meant he needed to be at peak human fitness at all times. Aurelius' fairy and draconic nature gave him a body and level of beauty that no normal human could ever hope to achieve. As a result of his extreme healing factor, Aurelius was devoid of any scars or blemishes from combat, despite all the battles he has been in and the injuries he has taken.
Aurelius had a head of thick, slightly wavy, golden blond hair that was very vivid and lustrous. Aurelius' hair was soft, fluffy, somewhat shaggy, finely textured, and healthy-looking. Aurelius' hair was wild and messy, yet dignified and refined, befitting his nature as a warrior prince. Aurelius' hair changed lengths throughout the series, going from as short as the nape of his neck to as long as lower back length. At longer lengths, Aurelius typically kept his hair in a low, loose ponytail, with the length ranging from the base of his neck, his shoulders, or his upper back using a royal blue ribbon with gold trim. Aurelius sometimes switched out his ponytail for a braid for formal situations or, even more rarely, a bun. Aurelius had rather long, shaggy, and somewhat spiky bangs which covered his forehead, obscured the corner of his left eye and half of his right eye, had a forelock that ended at the base of his nose, and had long sidebangs which reached his cheeks, framing his face and obscuring his ears from the front. Aurelius' bangs were oriented more to the right, resulting in his hair being slightly longer and spikier on that side. Aurelius also had two smaller and thinner locks of hair as “hair antennae” that came from his bangs and extended down to his chin. The sides of Aurelius' hair were rather long, covering the upper half of his ears. During certain moments, Aurelius' bangs fell and completely covered the upper half of his face, obscuring his eyes from view. When he didn't bind his hair, it cascaded down his back like a waterfall of pure gold, with some of his hair falling forward over his shoulders and ending at his upper chest. Like his maternal family, the Pendragons, Aurelius had an ahoge. Aurelius’ ahoge was somewhat small, being a small and slightly curved lock of hair that stuck up from the top of his head. No matter what Aurelius did to tame that errant lock of hair, it would never go away. Aurelius' ahoge was jokingly taken as proof of his stupidity and naïveté by his friends, much to his chagrin. Aurelius' hair antennae are also partly why others compare him to rabbits and bunnies. For comedic reasons, Aurelius' ahoge and his hair antennae seem to move and even change shape to reflect his mood. Examples include his ahoge forming a heart shape or question mark, sticking out like a frightened cat's tail, or wagging like a dog's tail. Similarly, Aurelius' hair antennae wilted when he was sad or sick and flipped upwards like rabbit ears when he was being mischievous or naïve. As this has not been commented on and only shows up in comedic scenes, it is clear that this is just a gag. Aurelius' hair grew at an accelerated rate when compared to normal people, and he had to cut it frequently to keep it at his preferred length (which was rather long anyway). 
Aurelius had large and upturned, almond-shaped eyes with a thick limbal ring that were very expressive and drew a lot of attention. Aurelius' eyes were an especially dark and vivid shade of ultramarine blue and they often had a faint glow to them. While blue eyes are not uncommon, Aurelius' eyes were a unique and deep shade of blue that was thought of as quite beautiful, being compared to gemstones or the ocean. Aurelius' eyes had immense depth to them, and they shone brightly and held immense kindness, compassion, and honesty. In most situations, Aurelius' eyes were very emotive and betrayed his thoughts easily. In serious situations, Aurelius would school his emotions so that his eyes gave no hints of his true thoughts, being quite stern. Aurelius' eyes were usually soft and welcoming, however during battle or when he was on edge they were much sharper, showing his ferocity and determination. When Aurelius was angry, his eyes were as frigid as glaciers but as intense as raging flames. Contrastingly, when Aurelius was sad he was described as looking like a kicked puppy. Similarly, when Aurelius was younger he had what was called "puppy dog" eyes, though they stopped being as effective after he reached adulthood. Aurelius was also capable of giving a piercing stare or harsh glares when he wished to, though he typically kept his gaze soft and gentle. Aurelius also had what his friends called his "leader/dad stare" which was not as harsh as a glare, but had the same effect. Following the Battle of Bastion, Aurelius' eyes almost always seemed to be tired and had immense amounts of sorrow in them, though he tried to hide it from others. Following his capture by Ayin's Cabal, Aurelius' eyes were filled with nothing but rage and hatred due to the torture he was inflicted, being much like a violent tempest. After this, Aurelius' eyes became even more tired and filled with sadness and depression, and he once again tried to hide it with little success. After Aurelius returned to form, they regained their prior joy, warmth, and kindness, though they were much sharper and held a sort of tiredness to them, reflecting his wisdom, age, and experience. Aurelius had long and thick eyelashes, and his eyebrows were somewhat thick and arched lightly at the ends. Aurelius' eye color would change depending on the magic he was using, with them turning crimson red when using demonic magic and golden when using angelic magic. Additionally, Aurelius' eyes turned red when he was feeling particularly angry or bloodthirsty, sometimes even causing his sclera to turn black when he was well and truly furious. After Aurelius got more control over his emotions and demonic side, this became extremely rare and only flashed for a second before his eyes returned to normal. Aurelius also often intentionally switched his eyes for intimidation. 
Aurelius had a heart-shaped face that was perfectly symmetrical and somewhat androgynous in appearance. Aurelius had a mildly wide forehead, high cheekbones, dimples on his cheeks, average size ears with pierced lobes, a small, straight, and sharp nose with small nostrils, soft, full lips that were light pink in color, straight and pearly white teeth, a longer than average tongue, a strong and sharp jawline, and a strong chin that ended in a rounded point. Aurelius typically preferred to go clean-shaven, though when he did grow facial hair it was usually in the form of light stubble or a full and well-cared-for beard that was quite thick, but not coarse. Aurelius' face was described as "cherubic" as a child, though he lost most of his facial fat as he matured, and his facial features were sharp, fine, and graceful being more "regal" or "angelic" once he reached adolescence. Aurelius was noted to have a very attractive face, being considered simultaneously extremely handsome and absolutely beautiful in appearance. Aurelius' skin was noted to be very smooth and soft. Despite his fair skin, Aurelius did not sunburn and instead tanned gracefully. Aurelius' skin was devoid of any marks, scars, freckles, or any other similar attribute, having no flaws to it. As a result of his fair skin, Aurelius had a very noticeable blush, and his face flushed very easily when he was embarrassed.
Aurelius was a very tall and well-built man, being quite muscular yet also very lean to accommodate for both immense speed and immense strength. Aurelius was also perfectly proportioned as a result of his Fairy heritage. Aurelius had a long and muscular neck, broad shoulders, a wide and muscular back, long arms that were well-muscled and toned, large hands with long and dexterous fingers, a chiseled chest with small, light pink nipples, a flat abdomen with ten-pack abdominal muscles, sculpted obliques, and an Adonis Belt, a very narrow and slim waist, sculpted buttocks with Dimples of Apollo, long, muscular legs with thick thighs and strong calves, and large feet. Aurelius did not have much body fat, being very cut and looking like he was carved from marble. Aside from his scalp and facial hair, Aurelius lacked all body hair and was naturally hairless. While his muscles were very hard and firm, Aurelius' skin was noted to be smooth and soft and he didn't have any calluses despite his occupation. Aurelius was also apparently extremely well-endowed. Aurelius' partners showed enthusiastic approval, and when the boys were comparing sizes at a hot spring (which Aurelius was very reluctant to do), the rest of the group was very impressed or envious, as the case may be. Aurelius finds mentioning it to be both embarrassing and highly inappropriate. Aurelius apparently has the same bust size as Janet (much to the rest of the girls' scorn and jealousy) and once was forced to wear her sports bra after he lost a bet to her; it fit him perfectly. According to an informal poll in Bastion, Aurelius had the best ass of all the males and was in a three-way tie with Annaliese and Haruhi for the best ass in the entire school. Eleanora stated that Aurelius has "killer legs and thighs" and was very appreciative and somewhat jealous of them.
Aurelius had a boyish and somewhat deep voice and it only deepened as he grew older. Aurelius' voice was described as being rather rich, smooth, and melodic. Aurelius' voice was often compared to velvet. Aurelius' voice was considered to be very captivating, comforting, and soothing, while also being quite clear. Aurelius had a strong French accent when he was younger, though he developed a Received Pronunciation accent by the time he was a teenager. Aurelius' original accent still occasionally popped up when he was speaking with other French people, when he was very emotional, and he had a habit to use French words and phrases in his speech. Aurelius also occasionally exaggerated his accent to an extreme extent for comedic versions. Aurelius spoke gently and articulately, yet still with a friendly tone of voice. Aurelius was well-spoken and tended to speak semi-formally, sometimes using flowery and antiquated language. Aurelius tended to speak much more casually when with his friends or family, though he remained very articulate and kept his habit of using flowery and archaic language. Aurelius could be very formal and authoritative if he needed and despite preferring to be more soft-spoken, he could be loud and boisterous when needed, even using his magic to amplify his voice to great levels. During his revenge quest, Aurelius' voice became more guttural and hateful, though it returned to normal after he returned to his senses. Aurelius' laughter was musical and pleasing to hear, whether it be a nervous titter, a boyish giggle, a reserved chuckle, or a full-on belly laugh. Although naturally deep, Aurelius had a rather wide vocal range and he could convincingly mimic a woman's voice without anyone being able to tell. Aurelius also had a great singing voice, usually singing in a heldentenor but occasionally straying into a higher baritone. Aurelius had a great range being able to do a surprisingly high falsetto to a relatively low voice. Amusingly, Aurelius tended to scream like a little girl when suitably shocked and sneezed like a kitten, though he got extremely annoyed whenever someone brought it up.
Aurelius' general demeanor was confident, affable, and gentle. Aurelius typically carried himself like how a prince and knight was expected to, being courteous and dignified, but not overly formal or stiff. Aurelius' standard expression was that of a gentle and welcoming smile that shined brightly and put people at ease. Despite being a royal, Aurelius moved much more like a standard knight than someone of noble birth. At most times, Aurelius was typically rather relaxed and easygoing, having a sort of easy grace to his movements and expression. Aurelius' posture was straight and upright, though it was not rigid and remained somewhat relaxed. Despite his size and heavy equipment, Aurelius could be very quiet when he moved and footfall could be completely silent when he moved carefully; otherwise, his steps were quite heavy. During battle or serious situations, Aurelius became much more assertive and in control and he quickly snapped into a suitable demeanor. Aurelius' easygoing nature was switched to one that had purpose and efficiency. Aurelius' expression was reserved and stern during battles or high-tension situations. Even when at ease, Aurelius was still slightly guarded to respond to any phenomena with expedience. Aurelius also had an apparently very amusing flustered expression, especially with how much he blushed. Aurelius also had a surprisingly cute pout, though he was annoyed when it was pointed out.
Aurelius apparently had a naturally pleasant smell. Aurelius' natural scent was apparently like a strange but pleasing mix of vanilla, citrus, and roses. Even when doing work that results in a strong odor, this pleasant smell could still be sensed at least somewhat. Whenever asked about what caused the smell, Aurelius would simply smirk and say that it was a family secret. True to his word, everyone in his family has some variation of that smell, and none of them are willing to divulge the secret.
Aurelius was considered extremely handsome, to the point of being called a "pretty boy" and "hunk." Even as a child, it was joked that Aurelius was probably the prettiest person in Versailles, with his sisters joking that he was probably prettier than they were. By the time he reached his late teens and attended Bastion Academy, Aurelius was considered as handsome as a professional model, with his friends comparing him to stories of fairy tale knights, classical depictions of angels or even Gods. Aurelius was often said to be the epitome of the Knight in Shining Armor and "Prince Charming" type. As Aurelius matured, he was seen as even more handsome with the age benefiting him greatly. Aurelius had very strong Fae blood which gave him their immense beauty, ironing out any deformities he might have had. As such, Aurelius is considered one of the most attractive sentinels on Earth. While he is considered very handsome, he is considered equally as beautiful. Even with him being very tall and muscular, Aurelius is considered impossibly pretty. It was often joked that Aurelius could drive envy in the heart of any woman because he outshined them in beauty. Aurelius was a bit put off by this fact, as he considered his looks to be of supernatural origin and not really something he could take pride in. Aurelius was considered so pretty, that he could convincingly pass as a woman with the right clothing and makeup. Aurelius apparently pulled feminine clothing off so well that some of his friends (mostly Janet, Eleanora, and Annaliese) actually felt jealous about how fitting it seemed. Aurelius was described as blurring the line between a pretty boy and a hunk, as well as being stated to have a body like that of a marble statue. It's been joked that Aurelius could spend a year in the wilderness and still look like a supermodel, which was not far from the truth. Aurelius is occasionally portrayed as being surrounded by sparkles of light and roses when he is charming (often accidentally), this being meant to be a comedic showing of his charm and beauty. This was only a gag and not a real, visible phenomenon. Despite knowing that he was considered attractive, Aurelius tried to downplay it and wasn't especially proud of it. While flattered by the attention, and he did take efforts to take proper care of himself and look his best, he didn't put much stock into his appearance and had self-esteem issues that caused him to not really value his looks as much as others.
Aurelius almost always wore his hair ribbon, earrings, and cross necklace unless he needed to disguise himself. Aurelius also typically wore his scarf, though he refrained from wearing it depending on the heat. Aurelius wore these as they were gifts from his family and loved ones. Aurelius also seemed to have a preference for wearing layers of clothing, such as jackets and overshirts, and rarely went without wearing gloves or boots. Most of Aurelius' clothing were colored white, black, or blue, with hints of yellow or red to accent them. Despite having superhuman vision, Aurelius had a habit of wearing reading glasses when doing paperwork, citing that they reduced eye strain as the reason. Aurelius' friends believed he only wore glasses for aesthetic purposes and because others thought he looked cute in them, though he denied that (while blushing in embarrassment).
Aurelius' personal crest is a stylized, gold fleur-de-lis cross which was surrounded by a golden dragon roaring on the left, a roaring golden lion on the right, and a golden eagle on the top which formed a sort of box around the cross. Much of Aurelius' clothing had his crest sewn on somewhere on on them such as on the back of his coat jacket or emblazoned on his shield. Aurelius crest was based on the crests of both the Lyons (the lion) and Pendragon (the dragon) families with his own touch. 
==== Female Form ====
Aurelius could switch into a female form, though he had complicated feelings about it. Aurelius typically went by the name Aurelia when in this form. Aurelius typically remained at 5'10" when in this form and his already feminine face slightly changed so that it became even more feminine, his face becoming slightly softer compared to the more hard lines of his normal face. Aurelia's body became quite softer, yet still very muscular just underneath a layer of feminine softness. Aurelia's body was very curvaceous with a very large bust, a very narrow waist that flared out into very curvy hips, and rotund but sculpted buttocks. Aurelia's genitalia also changed into those of a female from a male. Otherwise Aurelia appeared the same as his normal form and he retained the same hairstyle. Aurelia was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world and was compared to a goddess several times.
==== Angel Form ====
When Aurelius switched to his Angel form, his appearance changed considerably. Aurelius emanates holiness, power, and dignity like that of a true angel. Aurelius brought most people a sense of safety, however, he brought terror to those with evil hearts. Aurelius also moved with a sense of enlightenment and refinement that no mortal could ever hope to achieve. While not emotionless, Aurelius was in complete control of himself and no longer thought in the ways a mortal did. Aurelius also achieved a great ethereal beauty that mortals couldn’t hope to come close to matching.
=====Stage 1=====
Aurelius' eyes changed color with his irises turning a golden color. Aurelius also had a passive holy aura that surrounded him. Aurelius otherwise looked completely normal, though his holy aura did affect others.
=====Stage 2 =====
Aurelius' eyes remained gold, he gained a bright halo above his head, and two white angelic wings on his back. Aurelius' holy aura became more pronounced and even became visible. Aurelius' emotions became much more relaxed, and his body language was much more refined.
=====Stage 3=====
Aurelius grew two additional wings from his back and his holy aura became even stronger, leaving to be constantly enveloped in a white and gold aura. Aurelius was also surrounded by two wheel-like objects which acted as weapons and barriers for him.
=====Stage 4=====
Aurelius once again grew two more wings on his back for a total of six wings, though his wings also turned golden. Aurelius also developed two additional angel wheels which left him with four total. Aurelius also began having two arbiters that followed him usually staying just above his shoulders. Aurelius' holy aura only became more pure and powerful with this form.
=====Stage 5=====
Aurelius took on a more monstrous, yet humanoid form. Aurelius became much taller at about 10’5” and his body was only vaguely humanoid. Aurelius' skin became white and gold, though it was mostly covered by a sort of golden armor that protected it. Aurelius' face changed with his transformation, with him seemingly losing his nose, ears, and mouth although he could still use their associated senses and could still speak. Aurelius' eyes changed to essentially be golden, glowing sclera. From his knees down, Aurelius' legs turned into something akin to an eagle with his feet being more like the talons. Aurelius had eight golden angel wings on his back and his halo became blinding in brightness. Aurelius' holy aura became even more dense and he retained his wheels and arbiters.
=====Commander of the Holy Host=====
Aurelius' Commander of the Holy Host form returned him into something akin to his fourth-stage angel form. Aurelius' hair reached floor length, although his holy power caused it to always flow as though the wind was blowing. Aurelius' eyes changed so he had golden irises. Aurelius' aura becomes so dense that it causes the ground around him to tremble and he almost seems to generate his own orbit that causes small objects like rocks to defy gravity. Aurelius had 12 golden wings that grew from his back and his halo gleaned even more than it did previously. Aurelius radiated power and his beauty became immeasurable to a level that is simply inconceivable. Aurelius was essentially in a state of enlightenment in this form. Aurelius looked almost identical to Saint Michael while in this form.
While in this form, Aurelius seemed to wear armor that was identical to Michael's armor.
=====Prince of Heaven=====
Aurelius' Prince of Heaven form was his most powerful Angel form and gave him the full, true power of Saint Michael. In this form, Aurelius took on titanic proportions. Aurelius became several hundred meters tall, and his lower body was replaced by a massive white cloud with six massive, golden wings protruding from his cloud in a matter similar to legs, his upper body was left completely bare and exposed his enhanced musculature, 12 massive golden wings on his back, several massive halos that were within one another behind him, his massive flowing hair curved upward, defying gravity in it's entirely, his eyes lost all features, essentially just being glowing, golden sclera, he had a blindingly bright halo around his head, and his holy aura became so powerful that it was essentially a pillar of light that cleaved the sky in half. Aurelius' power and immense majesty rivaled some of the most powerful gods on Earth.
====Demon Form====
When Aurelius switched to his Demon form, his appearance changed considerably. While he was in complete control of himself, Aurelius was described as having an innately intimidating presence and his gaze was like that of an apex predator which scared many who felt it upon them, especially when he was directly looking into their eyes. This was even when he was doing something mundane or even silly. Even if Aurelius was genuinely smiling, it would not look like a joyful smile but instead be somewhat sinister, although he did not intend for it to come across like that. That said, he was still considered very attractive while in this form and his demon form had a different appeal to what he normally looked like, being compared to something beastly or otherwise animalistic.
=====Stage 1=====
Aurelius' eyes changed color with his irises turning blood red. Aurelius also generated a black and purple demonic aura. Aurelius otherwise appeared to be the same as he did previously, if more aggressive than he normally was.
Aurelius also had a tendency to go into a berserker rage whilst in this form, during which his aura became much more powerful and wild, and his sclera turned black, with him occasionally releasing tears of blood. Aurelius also began to act feral and monstrous.
=====Stage 2=====
Aurelius retained the crimson eyes and demonic aura, however, his skin became extremely pale and his hair turned white. Despite being as pale as a corpse, Aurelius did not look sickly and he retained his good looks. Aurelius looked similar to Lucifer’s human form, though he was not as tall and he was more muscular compared to the demon king.
Aurelius' berserker rage power up also retained the black sclera, bloody tears, and wild aura, while keeping his changes while in this stage.
=====Stage 3=====
Aurelius' body retained the previous changes, though he also grew several black marks over parts of his body such as his face, chest, and arms, with his hands from the forearms down becoming fully black which contrasted with his extremely pale skin. Aurelius' sclera turned black permanently, contrasting with his glowing red eyes. Aurelius grew two small horns on his forehead. Aurelius grew to giant black demonic wings similar to bat wings from his back and he developed a long, prehensile tail that ended with a sharp point like a spear.
=====Stage 4=====
Aurelius' body retained the changes from the previous form, though the black marks from the previous form began encompassing more of his body, leaving only parts of his right arm, torso, and face uncovered. Aurelius developed metal and bone-like armor on some parts of his body such as his arms, legs, chest, and the left side of his face. The eye that was covered by his bone mask began to glow even more and lacked its pupil. Aurelius' teeth became much sharper and he developed more fangs, as well as his tongue becoming more serpentine. Aurelius's forehead horns became larger and his hands developed claws where his nails were. Aurelius's wings became larger and his tail became longer. Aurelius truly looked like a monster while in the form, while still retaining his humanoid features.
=====Stage 5 =====
Aurelius turned into a massive humanoid monster that stood at about 10’5” and became much more monstrous in appearance. Aurelius' skin became entirely pitch black but it had glowing red lines all over it and it was mostly covered with black bone and metal armor that were both a slightly darker shade of black than his skin. Aurelius' previous two forehead horns became even larger at about a foot long and he grew smaller horns around the rest of his head in a formation similar to that of a crown, and he lost his hair. Aurelius' face changed with his transformation, with him seemingly losing his nose and ears, and his mouth became larger, turning into a maw of jagged and sharp fangs, as well as gaining a long and serpentine tongue. Aurelius' eyes remained a glowing red, but they lost their pupils. The armor on Aurelius' forearms and shins had many spikes which could be used as weapons and his hands and feet had long and sharp claws on them. Aurelius' feet also shifted into monstrous ones that had three toes each and they ended in talons. Aurelius also had two massive bat-like wings on his back and his tail became longer with a much more wicked pointed end, essentially being an inbuilt spear.
=====Demon God=====
Aurelius' King of Hell form was his most powerful Demon form. Aurelius retained his massive height of 10'5" but his body returned to looking to something much more human-like. Aurelius retained his crown of horns, including the large horns on his forehead. Aurelius retained his extremely long hair and it flowed because of his sheer power, however, it changed colors into a glowing demonic red that almost looked like waves of fire. Aurelius' eyes changed such that his sclera turned black, his irises became a burning blood red, and his pupils became draconic slits. When Aurelius unleashed his full power in this form, they released blasts of hellfire that obscured his eyes. Aurelius' teeth all became extremely sharp like fangs and he had a long serpentine tongue. Aurelius' body was extremely muscular and almost bulky, and he regained the black curse marks all over his body which covered nearly everything except for large parts of his head, parts of the right side of his torso, and the upper part of his right arm, with those areas retaining his extremely pale skin. The skin covered by the black marks was covered with glowing veins that looked as though they were filled with fiery red magma. Both of Aurelius' arms from the forearms down had the black curse marks and glowing veins, though his hands had draconic scales on them and his fingers ended in claws, with the same being true for Aurelius' legs and feet. Aurelius grew two massive draconic wings and he retained his long and viscous barbed tail. Aurelius also had an immensely powerful and dense demonic aura that caused the ground around him to tremble and he almost seems to generate his own orbit that causes small objects like rocks to defy gravity. Aurelius looked nearly identical to Lucifer after he became the King of Hell and the most powerful Satan.
Aurelius' torso was left almost completely bare, though his lower half was covered by dark black, tattered pants and a long, flowing, and tattered, black waist cape.
===== Prince of Darkness Form =====
When using his Prince of Darkness drive, Aurelius morphs into what is basically a living shadow. While Aurelius was simply an amorphous shadow or a black, red, and purple blob of living black miasma, he often took on a physical form identical to his normal demon form with the only difference being that his form often swirled with dark miasma and he could shapeshift that darkness for different purposes or to reform himself when injured. Aurelius also often took on a humanoid form that was a simple black humanoid shape with a red and purple outline, round glowing red eyes with no iris or pupils. Because he is nothing but dark miasma incarnate, he can shapeshift however he wishes from taking on different monstrous forms, creating tendrils or weapons from his body, become a blob of writhing darkness, or other such things. While he was mostly a dark black, purple, and red he often had several red eyes of various sizes and shapes that appeared in his mass.
=====Beast of Revelation=====
In this form, Aurelius took on titanic proportions. Aurelius was essentially a massive demonic dragon fused with a variety of different animals and he was several hundred meters tall. Aurelius' torso was like that of a leopard's, but with bright scarlet red scales, he had seven massive wings of different types that allowed him to fly, and he had seven tails of different shapes similar to a variety of different types of animals, as well as six massive and thick limbs that ended in bear-like feet with giant, razor-sharp claws. Aurelius had seven long and scaled necks that each ended with seven dragon heads that each had a crimson mane like those of a lion, ten massive horns per head that were arranged like crowns with the horns of the primary head being the largest. Aurelius also emitted a massive demonic aura that essentially acted as a massive pillar of darkness.
====Dragon Forms====
===== Stage 1 =====
Aurelius' eyes began glowing and his pupils turned into draconic slits. Aurelius was also enveloped with a visible aura which he could shift somewhat into the form of a dragon’s head for attacks.
===== Stage 2 =====
Aurelius retained the previous changes, but he also developed two draconic horns on his head, his ears turned pointed like an elf's ears, his canines turned into fangs, he grew two golden dragon wings on his back, he grew a large dragon tail from his back, and his arms from the forearms down were covered in gold and white scales and developed claws, as did his legs from the shin down.
===== Stage 3 =====
Aurelius turned into a sort of humanoid dragon. Aurelius had white and gold scales, a longer and more muscular neck with a golden mane, a dragon's head with ultramarine blue eyes and slitted pupils, two large horns, and large antlers like a jackalope's on his head. Aurelius stood upright, with clawed hands and feet, two draconic wings on his back, and a large and powerful tail.
===== Stage 4 =====
Aurelius' full dragon form was that of a massive Western dragon. Aurelius had white and gold scales, an elongated neck, a dragon’s head with ultramarine blue eyes and slitted pupils, several horns, two large antlers like those of a jackalope’s on his head, a large mane of golden blond hair, and pointed ears like an elf. Aurelius' body was very large and he had four massive wings on his back, six legs, several spikes on parts of his body, large paws that ended with sharp claws, and a massive tail.
=== Infant ===
As an infant, Aurelius was unhealthily small and pale as a result of his extreme illness. Aurelius was also completely silent, not even making the slightest noise no matter how he was prodded by the doctors. After the treatment administered by Morgan and Merlin, Aurelius' skin turned into a healthier color and while still a quiet baby, he made a normal amount of noise. Aurelius was noted to be a very cute baby.
=== Child ===
As a child, Aurelius was incredibly short to the point that he was mistaken for the youngest child, despite the fact he was among the oldest. Aurelius had shoulder-length hair, that his sisters would style (often against his will). Aurelius was quite thin and was frequently mistaken for a girl, much to his embarrassment.
Aurelius wore a white dress shirt, a royal blue bow tie, a black waistcoat, a dark brown belt, black dress trousers, and black dress shoes. 
=== Child #2 ===
Aurelius wore a black hoodie with a white cartoon bunny on the center, royal blue shorts that ended above his knees, white socks, and black and white sneakers.
=== Little Prince ===
Aurelius wore a royal blue dress jacket with white accents and the Lyons family crest on the lapel and back, a black capelet with white fur on the edges, trousers that matched his jacket, and black boots.
=== Bunny PJs ===
In the Lyons Family Photo Album, one of the pictures had a very young Aurelius dressed in a blue bunny onesie, complete with a hood with rabbit ears.
=== Dress ===
In the Lyons Family Photo Album, one of the pictures had a very young Aurelius dressed in a pink dress with white lining and sleeves, a blue ribbon, white ankle socks, blue shoes, and his hair tied into pigtails with two ribbons.
=== Child Runaway ===
After running away from home, Aurelius essentially wore his prince outfit without the jacket and capelet, revealing the white dress shirt under it. Aurelius' clothes were dirty and ragged, and his boots were covered in mud and grime. Aurelius' face was also rather dirty. 
=== Monte Sant'Angelo ===
While living in the church orphanage in Monte Sant'Angelo, Aurelius was given a long-sleeve light gray shirt, tan trousers, and black and white sneakers to wear. During the tragedy, Aurelius was injured, causing his clothes to be ripped and torn. Most prominently, Aurelius was stabbed through the back through his torso by Samael, leaving a gaping hole in the middle of the chest. After the spirits of Saint Michael and Lucifer entered into his body, Aurelius' wounds all healed, though his clothes remained ripped up.
=== Recovery ===
After being recovered from Sant'Angelo, Aurelius woke up in his home in Versailles. Aurelius was wearing a hospital gown and looked completely uninjured, though his hair had gotten significantly longer. Despite only being unconscious for a few days, Aurelius' hair grew as though he had been comatose for years for unknown reasons. Soon after he woke up, Aurelius cut his hair back to shoulder length.
=== Training #1 ===
When Aurelius began training when he was eight years old, he tied his hair back in a short ponytail and wore a black gambeson, a royal blue tunic with gold accents, brown fingerless gloves, a black belt with a silver buckle across his waist, black trousers, and black boots. Aurelius used either an extremely heavy if plain longsword with blunted edges or a wooden waster in the shape of a longsword for practice.
=== Training #2 ===
Later Aurelius wore a full suit of knight's armor that was designed to be extremely heavy. Aurelius' armor was a standard suit of plate armor with an armet helmet and was plain looking, only looking strange because of how bulky it was and that it was fitted for his tiny size.
=== Early Teens ===
In his early teens, Aurelius was still quite short and stood only at 5'1". Aurelius was very skinny and often compared to a stick, though he was significantly stronger than he looked. Aurelius' hair was about lower back length and quite messy, though he most often tied it in a loose ponytail. Aurelius still looked somewhat feminine in appearance.
Aurelius wore almost the same training outfit as he did previously, though it was larger to fit his taller frame. Aurelius also began wielding Radiance at this point.
=== Mid Teens ===
By the time that Aurelius was 15, he had a growth spurt, growing to 5'10". Despite his increase in height and prodigious strength, Aurelius was still a very lithe and slender boy with little visible muscle mass. Aurelius also cut his hair shorter with it reaching the nape of his neck at the back, though he retained his bangs, his sidelocks ended at his chin, and his forelock ended at his nose. While not as androgynous as he once was, Aurelius was still rather feminine and considered as beautiful as his sisters.
Aurelius wore a black, long-sleeve shirt with white trim, dark brown fingerless gloves, a black belt with a silver frame buckle, a dark brown sword belt, midnight blue trousers, and knee-high black leather boots. After he was gifted his scarf by his sisters, Aurelius rarely went without wearing it. Aurelius' outfit was essentially a beta version of the outfit he would wear for most of his life.
=== Bunny Girl Outfit ===
When Aurelius was 16 he lost a bet with his sisters and had to wear a bunny girl outfit, which they immortalized in a photo. Aurelius wore a blue strapless corset teddy, a black vest, black bunny ears, black sheer-to-waist pantyhose, a blue bow tie, a collar, cuffs, and a fluffy cottontail. Aside from a noticeable bulge, no one would be able to tell that Aurelius wasn't a girl just from looking at him.
=== Bastion First Year ===
When Aurelius was admitted into Basiton he reached the age of 18. At this age, Aurelius had another growth spurt and grew to 6'1". Aurelius also became much more visibly fit and muscular, growing noticeably larger in build and having more defined muscle mass. Aurelius also grew his hair longer once more, with it reaching his shoulders. As a result, Aurelius typically tied his hair in a small ponytail, though he often let it down when he was relaxing.
Aurelius wore a long-sleeve, black shirt with a high neck and white trim and small, white Greek crosses on the collar whose sides reached his upper thighs, an open, white long coat with a high collar and royal blue and gold trim that ended at his calves with split tails and his personal crest on the back, a royal blue scarf with gold lining wrapped loosely around his neck that ended at his chest, black, wrist-length, leather gloves, simple and form-fitting midnight blue trousers with deep pockets that he tucked into his boots, a black leather belt with a silver frame buckle, a dark brown sword belt, a scarlet red sash he tied around his waist, and thick, knee-high black leather boots with silver metal toes and heels. Aurelius also had a royal blue ribbon with gold trim to tie his hair back, small, silver stud earrings with small, blue fleur de lis crosses on them in his ears, and he wore an ornate, silver cross necklace with gold accents on the limbs and rubies embedded in it around his neck, tucked in between his scarf. Despite not needing to, Aurelius had a habit of keeping Resolution on him at most times both in case of emergencies and because he found it comforting. Aurelius typically had Resolution's scabbard, a royal blue one with gold accents, hanging by his sword belt on his left side when he kept it on his person.
For battle, Aurelius added armor to his outfit and carried his weapons more openly, using his magic to summon it on his person. Aurelius wore a silver cuirass with gold accents and royal blue runic symbols on it that protected his torso. Aurelius exchanged his normal gloves with a pair of gauntlets which were similar to them. The gauntlets were black gloves with silver plating the back and over the fingers with spaces over the knuckles for better articulation. The plates on the back of the gauntlets had black transmutation circles on them. Aurelius tightened the scarf around his neck, which made it end at his shoulders. Aurelius also wore two more belts when in battle for his weapons. Aurelius kept Resolution sheathed on his left and had a sheath for Revelry on his right. Aurelius also wore a black ammo belt with two holsters for Lux et Umbra as well as several pouches for ammo, bombs, and throwing knives above his regular belt.
When Aurelius was in his demon form, it changed his appearance and even the appearance of his clothing depending on the stage. Aurelius' hair turned white and fell out of its ponytail, his eyes became a crimson red (sometimes making his sclera pitch black), and his skin became very pale. Aurelius also often grew horns on his head, his teeth became sharper, he grew a long, prehensile tail with pointed end, and he often grew black bat-wings from his back which enabled him to fly. Aurelius coat would also turn into black with red lining, his crest changed from gold to a hellish red, and the coattails became somewhat tattered, his scarf turned into a dark red with black lining, his sash also became tattered, and his armor changed from silver with gold accents into gunmetal gray with red accents and the runic symbols also turned red. Aurelius also began emitting a black and red aura, compared to his normal blue and gold one.
When Aurelius was in his angel form, his appearance changed and his clothing did as well. Aurelius hair slipped out of its ponytail and began defying gravity, his eyes turned into a beautiful shade of gold and he often had a halo and angel wings from his back, with his wings phased through his clothing as though they had holes to accomodate for them. Aurelius' coat and scarf remained their normal colors, however his armor became white with gold accents, his runes became gold, his crest on the back of his jacket glowed a golden white, and the sash around his waist changed to a gold color.
When Aurelius was simply relaxing, he often declined to wear his armor, coat, or scarf. Aurelius also sometimes did not wear his jewelry such as his earrings or necklace or his gloves. Aurelius also typically declined to carry Resolution or any of his other weapons on him. Aurelius's clothing (particularly his coat, scarf, cuirass, and pants) was often damaged during his fights, and he often had to mend them back to normal. Aurelius has also apparently replaced his clothing and armor a few times with duplicates that looked the same, though he has always kept his scarf and necklace the same for sentimental reasons as both were gifts from his family.
=== Bastion Uniform ===
Aurelius wore a slightly modified version of the Bastion Academy uniform. Aurelius wore a white dress shirt, a navy blue vest, a red tie, a black blazer with gold piping and black buttons, a dark brown belt with a metal clasp buckle, and black dress pants that matched the blazer. Instead of wearing the black dress shoes that were normally part of the uniform, Aurelius instead wore a pair of dark brown riding boots which he tucked his pants in. Aurelius also wore his scarf and necklace around his neck, his earrings, and he wore his black leather gloves, though he sometimes forewent them. Aurelius also often wore a pair of black, half-rimmed glasses with square-shaped lenses, though he typically removed them when he wasn't doing school work or in class. Aurelius typically kept his hair in its ponytail, though he sometimes let it down. Aurelius also sometimes declined to wear the blazer, tie, and vest, and had the top few buttons of his shirt undone, typically when he was doing something other than school work or relaxing.

The helmet also had a built in oxygen training mask, restricting Aurelius' intake of air to make training even harsher.

Aurelius did this deliberately to look more like Sétanta (much to Sétanta's displeasure). Although Aurelius kept his RP accent, he began peppering his speech with Italian words rather than French.

While training under Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro, Aurelius wore a different outfit and styled his hair differently. Aurelius wore a high ponytail instead of his usual low one, though he often let his hair down when not in battle.

Aurelius cut his hair much shorter so that it ended at his nape, similar to how he wore it as a young teenager. Members of the order stated that Aurelius looked like the ideal Aryan man, much to his discomfort. 
===Captive ===
As a captive of Ayin's Cabal, Aurelius wore a ratty and ill fitting beige shirt, brown pants that were very worn and did not fit him properly, and raggedy brown shoes. Other times Aurelius wore nothing but his boxers. Aurelius' hair became longer and even more unkempt and lifeless, often looking extremely ratty. Aurelius also grew some light stubble. 
===Black Knight===
During his time as the Black Knight, Aurelius looked much more haggard and his appearance changed thanks to his torture. Aurelius had visible eye bags and grew some light stubble from his lack of care about his appearance. Aurelius let his hair down, though he stopped caring for it which resulted in it becoming incredibly unkempt, greasy, and almost ratty and had streaks of white similar to his demon form. Aurelius' left eye was also permanently stuck to crimson red, making it look like he had heterochromia. Aurelius no longer looked the part of the noble knight in shining armor, but rather that of a knight who has fallen from grace. Instead of a smile, Aurelius' face was almost always set in a frown or even a scowl. When angered, Aurelius' face would twist in rage with unsettlingly wrathful expressions that he never had before. Aurelius moved in a way that radiated rage with his shoulders always being tensed and his body language suggesting he was ready to lash out at a moment's notice. While not considered ugly by any means, his unkemptness and general demeanor greatly detracted from his looks.
Aurelius wore a full suit of armor consisting of a gorget, cuirass, spiked pauldrons, rerebraces, couters, vambraces, gauntlets with clawed fingers, faulds, tassets, cuisses, poleyns, greaves, and sabatons. Aurelius' armor was pitch-black in color with some gunmetal gray parts and blue accents. Aurelius often wore a torn and frayed black mantle with his family crest on the back.

===Stalwart Uniform===
Aurelius wore the uniform of agent of Stalwart, though he additionally wore a blue beret which was not standard.
=== Chevalier Armor===
Aurelius began wearing his Chevalier armor, a silver suit of power armor that was modeled after a knight's plate armor. The Chevalier armor was silver in color with blue and gold runes and accents all over it, along with two black transmutation circles on the palms of the gauntlets. The armor consisted of a lion-shaped helmet complete with golden fur meant to mimic a mane that covered his entire head, gorget, cuirass, plackart, pauldrons, rerebraces, couters, vambraces, gauntlets, faulds, tassets, cuisses, poleyns, greaves, and sabatons. The helmet was retractable and he could toggle it at will. Aurelius also wore a royal blue, furred mantle with his personal crest on the back that was floor-length. Underneath the armor, Aurelius wore an all black, form fitting bodysuit.
In his demon form, the Chevalier changed slightly to accommodate his new power, looking similar to Lucifer's armor. The armor changed from silver with gold accents and blue runes, to black with red accents and runes. The helmet changed from a lion's head to a Hellhound's with glowing red eyes, the pauldrons grew spikes on them, his gauntlets gained claws, and his mantle changed from royal blue to black.
In his angel form, the Chevalier changed to look similar to Michael's armor. The armor changed from silver with gold accents and blue runes, to gold with white accents and runes and the mantle changed from royal blue to cardinal red. The armor also began to have numerous cross symbols on the plackart, the back of the gauntlets, and greaves. 
In his true form, the Chevalier once again changed to take elements from the different forms that Aurelius had. The armor remained silver, though it had the red demonic symbols and golden white crosses from his demon and angel forms.

***Although a higher letter rank usually means that that stat is better, Aurelius' luck stat works differently. Aurelius' luck is incalculable but it goes both ways, being either unfathomably good or unfathomably bad with no way to control it. Aurelius' luck is simultaneously abysmal and superb and so earns the rank EX.
===Overall===
Aurelius was easily one of the most powerful beings in the universe, being considered to be on the level of the Aeons at full power. This was not always the case, being a result of Aurelius' immense training and discipline as much as it was his talent and luck. 
Aurelius was a man of many talents and skills, being a polymath who has studied many different fields and trades and done his best to train in all of them to the level of basic competency. There are few things that Aurelius doesn't have some level of skill or knowledge of, though he was far from the best at everything and he could be outdone in most things. Aurelius was a jack of all trades, though he felt he only fully mastered a few of the subjects he was interested in.
==== Combat====
Aurelius was considered one of the finest combatants in history having learned many styles of fighting and achieved immense skill to the point that he can fight Gods and primordial beings and win against them, defeat massive beasts, and eliminate vast armies of people and monsters. Aurelius was revered as one of the greatest warriors in the world, being considered a one-many army and a benevolent god of war in a human's body. Against normal opponents, Aurelius was virtually invincible and almost unstoppable.
Aurelius was considered one of the best fighters at Bastion Academy, even as a first year. Even still, Aurelius was restrained by his inexperience and naivety, which meant that there were many who could best him either because they were more skilled, more experienced, or more ruthless. As Aurelius trained and got involved in more conflicts, he would grow to become one of the best fighters in history.
Aurelius was primarily a swordsman, though he often used his hand-to-hand and magic to compliment his swordplay. Despite his preference for swords, Aurelius also used spears, knives, and firearms, as well as bombs and other weapons when needed. Aurelius also took advantage of his natural ambidexterity, sometimes switching which hand he was fighting with in the middle of battle to throw his opponent of their game. Aurelius notably had a very good throwing arm, having exceptional aim and power when throwing objects from knives, javelins, swords, rocks, and even to mundane items like pens and make them into extremely deadly weapons. Aurelius claims his throwing skill comes from playing baseball as a child. Beyond his overwhelming skill, strength, speed, agility, and durability, Aurelius often fought with his mind. Aurelius was a skilled tactician and was a natural leader, and he used those skills to bolster his abilities in combat. Rather than always overpowering his opponents, Aurelius often used his mind to outmaneuver them and tried to fight smarter rather than rely on pure brute force.
Although Aurelius originally fought mostly honorably, he began making use of more trickery and dirty moves as he evolved as a fighter. While he was one of the strongest, fastest, most agile, and most durable fighters on the face of the Earth, Aurelius relied heavily on his cunning, intelligence, and tactical skills to assure him victory. While fully capable of fighting an opponent head on, Aurelius tends to use a lot of guerilla and ambush tactics to keep the fight in his terms. If he had time to prepare for a major battle, Aurelius would shamelessly use that time to stack things in favor as much as possible, even if it was underhanded. Aurelius tried to avoid being too flashy in combat, instead preferring to be much more utilitarian. While others use more complex maneuvers and techniques, Aurelius tried to keep his movements simple and effective, though there was still an element of flash despite his attempts. 
Aurelius was a very versatile fighter who could take on a great many different roles depending on the situation. Aurelius could be a frontline fighter, act as a tank, provide ranged support, give support through buffs or heals for his allies or curses on his opponents, or simply hang back and act as the leader, amongst other roles. In a straight fight, Aurelius used a mixture of aggression and defense depending on the situation. Aurelius primarily fought by defending with well timed blocks, parries, and dodges before unleashing brutal and effective strikes to vanquish his opponent as quickly as possible. Depending on the terrain and opponent, Aurelius could either use his immense speed and agility to blitz his opponent from different angles at high speeds or be an unmovable juggernaut that demolished his enemy with great strength and durability. Aurelius was also rather good at stealth, being able to move around undetected and he took advantage of his skill to get the drop on his enemies and dispatch them quickly. Aurelius' powerful abilities and immense skills allowed him to control the battlefield and take on almost any role that was needed. Aurelius was a true jack of all trades, though there were certain things he was better at. While there were others that were better at the roles that he could provide, he had the most variety and could outcompete most people in those roles even outside his specialties. 
Aurelius' great knowledge and interest in monsters made him a very effective monster hunter, with him being able to take on hordes of monsters on his own. Aurelius was also very skilled in fighting opponents much larger than he was whether they be colossal monsters, massive mechs, or other super-giant enemies. Aurelius could also deal with massive groups of enemies without a sweat, being able to take on massive hordes or entire armies on his own without faltering, having many different techniques and abilities that let him clear groups of enemies quickly. Aurelius was also incredibly proficient in dueling single opponents, with their being few who could last long in a duel against him, much less prove to be a skilled enough fighter to pose a real challenge. 
===Abilities===
====Physical Abilities====
Superhuman Physiology: Due to a variety of factors including his draconic heritage, his experimentation as a child to keep him alive, his bond with the Heavenly Twins, his training, and simple natural causes, Aurelius possessed a superhuman body that was capable of extreme levels of output. Although classified as only superhuman due to his birth, Aurelius was closer to a divine entity and rivaled the most powerful Demons, Gods, and similar class beings in all regards. 
*Superhuman Strength: Aurelius possessed enormous amounts of strength that was far beyond that of a normal person and he reached the level of Gods. Aurelius possessed great strength since childhood and had to go through extensive dexterity training so that he didn't accidentally break everything he touched. Aurelius constantly broke his training weapons and other equipment as he accidentally swung them too hard. Even when he was a young teenager and skinny enough that it looked like a light breeze could knock him down, he had shown repeatedly that he had the strength of a very powerful, grown man. By the time he attended Bastion, Aurelius was one of the strongest students in the school and his strength only grew more and more as he matured and trained, being able to lift an estimated 35 tons comfortably. While naturally much stronger than even the strongest regular human, Aurelius could use his magic, qi, quipment, and Bastion of Heroism to enhance his strength to absurd levels. Aurelius could destroy even the strongest materials with little effort, lift and throw people, heavy objects like boulders, trees, cars, or even giant monsters without breaking a sweat, shatter or puncture bones, steel, and stone with a single strike, tear apart monsters with his bare hands, create earthquakes or shockwaves by hitting the ground, fling objects miles away with a single throw, crush materials like titanium or human skulls with a single hand, or even be able to damage or destroy adamant, mythril, and enchanted metal. Aurelius has performed a variety of strength feats which include launching people several meters simply throwing them, shattering a man's skull by passively flicking his wrist, ripping monsters in half with his bare hands, tearing off a troll's arm and beating it to death with it, cutting through multiple marble columns with his sword, throwing spears, axes, and knives with enough power to break the sound barrier or enough force to act as missiles, punching a drake so hard in the head that it's eye exploded, forcefully opening the jaw of a Sand Sea Dragon, wielding giant weapons without any problems, blocking attacks from giants like Jotunns and mechs, lifting entire buildings, changing the weather or completely demolish his surrounding area through the force of his strikes, and creating massive fissures or even mountains with a single punch or kick. This strength also extends to other facets such as his legs, which makes him extremely fast and able to leap great lengths and heights. Bastion of Heroism drive could theoretically give Aurelius infinite strength, though it wouldn't be practical to reach such a level and could even prove fatal. Aurelius is considered one of the strongest people in history and he rivaled Gods of Strength like Thor, Gilgamesh, and Heracles.
*Superhuman Speed: Aurelius possessed extreme levels of speed that allowed him to effortlessly break the sound barrier and even rival the speed of light. Even as a child, Aurelius had a great amount of speed and his speed only grew as he matured and trained. Aurelius was naturally able to outrun motor vehicles and go hundreds of miles in seconds, though his magic, qi, equipment, and Bastion of Heroism allowed him to enhance his speed further. Aurelius was capable of effortlessly outrunning the fastest vehicles, could move at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye to the point that he appeared to be teleporting, create hundreds of afterimages through his movements, could run up walls or across water with enough momentum, dodged bullets, lightning, and lasers effortlessly, strike at lightning fast speeds that normal people could never hope to keep up with, even being able to ignite the air with how fast he moved. Aurelius has been able to match Hermes, Raijin, and Savitr in speed, beat teleporters in a race, and cross Eurasia on foot in a few days. Aurelius' drive could, in theory, give him infinite speed, but that would be a terrible idea, and reaching that level would neither be sustainable nor safe to achieve, almost certainly ripping his body apart once done.
*Superhuman Reflexes: Aurelius' reflexes incredibly fast to an absurd level, matching his speed. Aurelius always had fast reflexes, but experience and training have honed them into something incredible.Aurelius could react to most stimuli at speeds much faster than the average person, having reaction speeds that are multitudes higher. Aurelius has dodged point-blank automatic gunfire, lightning, lasers, and beams of pure magic, caught arrows, knives, and even bullets out of the air passively, deflected hundreds of projectiles in seconds, and reacted to multiple attacks that happened in the same instant. Aurelius has even reacted to things before they actually happened thanks to his speed, reaction time, fast thought processes, ESP, magic, qi, and Bastion of Heroism.
*Superhuman Agility & Flexibility: Aurelius was immensely agile and nimble, being able to do maneuvers that are inconceivable to perform by normal humans. Aurelius was naturally very flexible, and years of dance, gymnastics, and yoga only honed his agility and flexibility. Even when in armor that seemed restrictive, Aurelius could do feats that would make even Olympic gymnasts balk. Aurelius could contort his body in various ways and could do things like flips, spins, rolls, springs, splits, handstands, bends, and other maneuvers effortlessly. Aurelius has been able to leap extremely high up into the air and also leap vast distances, being able to leap up skyscrapers or clear lakes and large rivers just by jumping, even just from a standing position. Aurelius has even run up and across walls with little thought even when put under immense stress, as well as wall jump.
*Superhuman Durability: Aurelius was well known for his extreme durability. Aurelius' defenses were almost unbreakable and only the most powerful of attacks could break through them. Aurelius could take blows from ordinary people without being moved (in fact it was more likely that his attacker would break their arm punching him), he could resist being stabbed or cut by ordinary blades, and could shrug off being shot with normal bullets with nary a scratch, with not even the highest calibers doing much to harm him besides pushing him back slightly at most or leaving a small welt. Even incredibly powerful attacks wouldn't do much lasting damage and the attacks that did harm him greatly wouldn't keep him down for long. Aurelius' drive allowed him to boost his defenses such that they were an impenetrable bulwark that almost nothing could get through without magical means. Aurelius has taken strikes from incredibly powerful opponents like Thor and Heracles, has taken massive explosions as powerful as hydrogen bombs at point blank, been sent flying through the air and crashed through multiple buildings, trees, or mountains, and has fallen from orbit but has been relatively fine when anyone else would have easily been killed. Aurelius' isn't completely immune to damage however as there are materials, weapons, attacks that can harm him and while he is highly resistant to magic, psionics, and qi, he is not immune to them and someone with a great enough amount or potent enough use of those energies can still harm him. Aurelius is also still a physical being, so even if he has power that exceeds the Gods he can be killed. Aurelius was durable enough to survive in the Void without any protections, when normal people are disintegrated near instantly.
** Absurd Pain Tolerance: Aurelius has an absurd amount of pain tolerance that is hard to consider. Even when put in immense agony, Aurelius will soldier on and give no outward signs of feeling any pain aside from a wince, grunt, or gasping breath. Aurelius feels pain as anyone else can and doesn't enjoy it, but his tolerance toward it is something to behold. Some people have posited that Aurelius must have damaged nerves of some kind to be able to stomach so much pain, but when checked they were completely normal. Aurelius has been impaled, shot, burned, crushed, bitten, amputated, nearly bisected, melted, and eviscerated but continued on like it was nothing. Along with his regenerative healing factor, Aurelius' pain tolerance makes it so that he can keep fighting even after taking what should be mortal wounds, being able to keep up the fight for what anyone reasonably should. Even if most of his body is disabled, as long as Aurelius is still conscious and can draw breath, he will refuse to give up and keep fighting. That said, he does have his limits even if they are absurdly high and there are things so painful that even he can't withstand.
*Superhuman Endurance: Aurelius had a seemingly never-ending amount of stamina and endurance. While he was never a hyperactive child, he was a very energetic one who seldom got tired (much to the exacerbation of his parents and older siblings). This lent itself well to life as a knight and sentinel, as Aurelius could fight for hours without getting tired. Even when carrying extremely heavy items and armor, Aurelius could continue moving without rest as though he was unencumbered. It would take a lot to begin making Aurelius tired and only the most exhaustive of activities will make him unable to go on, though even then it will still take hours. Aurelius' drive allowed him to boost his stamina to greater levels such that he could be active for weeks without having to slow down or feel tired, however once he stopped using his drive he would feel an immense crash that would render him inactive for days.
*Superhuman Senses: Aurelius possessed superhuman senses in nearly every regard, with all his senses being super-enhanced to an immense level. The Bastion of Heroism Drive allowed all of these senses to be enhanced to even greater levels. Aurelius' senses were closer to that of the Gods and he outstripped normal humans in every regard.
** Superhuman Vision: Aurelius' vision was perfect and he could naturally see farther and clearer than others. Aurelius could naturally see several kilometers away and possessed perfect night vision, being able to see in complete darkness. Aurelius could use his his magic, qi, and Bastion of Heroism to reinforce his eyes to a greater extent, essentially turning his eyes into high-power telescopes or binoculars. Aurelius' vision allowed him to see even the smallest of details just by looking at them as well as easily keep track of extremely fast-moving objects. Aurelius is also able to see spectral beings like ghosts or spirits without the aid of magic.
**Superhuman Hearing: Aurelius' ears were very powerful and had a substantially wider hearing range than most humans. Aurelius could pick up on higher frequency sounds and lower frequency sounds than most people would think possible and he could hear sounds from father away with clarity. Aurelius was even able to pick up on faint vibrations in the air that most people could not sense. Aurelius is also able to hear spectral beings like ghosts or spirits without the aid of magic.
**Superhuman Smell: Aurelius had a very powerful sense of smell. Aurelius could smell things up to several miles away and he could tell apart even the tiniest of detail between smells. Aurelius was also receptive to certain pheromones and odors that were released. Aurelius could also smell supernatural phenomena, to the point that he has stated that he smells magic. Aurelius' nose has been compared to that of a bloodhound, although he exceeds one by several magnitudes.
**Superhuman Taste: Aurelius had a very powerful sense of taste. Aurelius could taste minute differences no matter how faint they were. It was something very valuable for his love of cooking.
**Superhuman Touch: Aurelius had a very powerful sense of touch. Aurelius could feel even the slightest impression on almost any substance, surface, or structure. Aurelius could feel even the slightest of vibrations in the air, which allowed him to react to things extremely quickly.
**Superhuman Equilibrium: Aurelius had an incredible balance that had been honed through years of training, dance, and gymnastics. Aurelius could find balance incredibly well and manage himself. It was extremely hard for Aurelius to be knocked over unless it was an overpowering force. The only real obstacle to his sense of balance was his motion sickness, though Corbyn managed to "help" Aurelius get past this issue.
*Regenerative Healing Factor: Aurelius had an incredibly potent healing factor that allowed him to regenerate from almost all wounds stemming from his immense affinity with healing magic, descent from King Arthur, and his experimentation as an infant. Given enough time, Aurelius will eventually be able to heal from any injury he is given, even if it should normally be fatal. Aurelius could heal minor wounds almost instantaneously, moderate wounds in minutes or even seconds, major wounds in hours, and even heal from what should normally be fatal wounds. Aurelius could even regenerate lost limbs and organs, though this would take time if he didn't force it, ranging from a few days to a few hours. Aurelius' healing factor didn't allow him to keep any scars or scratches as they were automatically dealt with. The deadlier the injury, the more time, stamina, and mana it would take to heal from, and deadly injuries could leave him incapacitated for months even if his body was healed. Aurelius heals even while comatose, though it is much slower as it becomes passive and it could take months for him to make a full recovery unless he wakes up. Aurelius' healing factor does not grant him immortality as he can be killed without hope of recovery if he takes too much damage before his healing factor kicks in, his brain is fully destroyed, his head is completely severed from his body, or if his body is completely destroyed. Any other injury, including destroying his heart, Aurelius possessed the capability of recovering from. Although destroying his heart can kill him, Aurelius can super focus on that injury to heal it to non-fatal levels before he loses consciousness, assuring his survival at the cost of a lot of lost energy and will cause him to be knocked unconscious for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Aurelius' Bastion of Heroism helped make his healing factor as powerful as it was and could be focused on healing to make it even stronger, to the point that it made most injuries trivial and when he removed his limiters then there was almost no wound that could last, even what normally kill him in his base form he would recover from in seconds. Aurelius has been cut in half and had large holes cut through his body, but has recovered from them with little lasting effect. The amount of energy consumed depends on the injury being healed from as little as a single unit to as much as his entire supply. 
**Enhanced Immune System: Aurelius has a very powerful immune system that fights off all diseases and illnesses. Aurelius is immune to all natural illnesses, though certain curses or magical illnesses could still affect him if they were powerful enough to get past his magic resistance. Aurelius genuinely doesn't remember the last time he was sick. This immunity also extends to things like lycanthropy and vampirism, which Aurelius is fully exempt from succumbing to.
** Contaminant Resistance: Aurelius is naturally resistant to contaminants like poisons and radiation. While certain contaminants can get past it, Aurelius can fight them more easily than others could. Alcohol and drugs are included as contaminants and so Aurelius is immune to them unless he deliberately allows them to affect him (though he already has a naturally massive tolerance for them).
**Healing Coma:
Supernatural Beauty: As someone with Fairy Blood, Aurelius also possessed the ethereal beauty of a Fairy. Aurelius was naturally a very handsome man, but his fairy blood took it to another level. Any minor deformities he might have had were ironed out and he looked physically perfect. Despite his unattainable physical beauty, Aurelius did not hit the uncanny valley and was pleasing to look at. Aurelius was directly compared to Gods such as Apollo or Dionysus on multiple occasions.
Extended Longevity: As a result of his dragon and fairy blood, Aurelius's lifespan and aging are not those of a normal humans. Aurelius will live for tens of thousands of years and will be stuck in his physical prime (late 20s to early 30s) for the vast majority of that time. Aurelius is unlikely to live that long as a result of the situations he has found himself in, the damages he has suffered, and his lifestyle, however, he will likely still live for thousands of years. Aurelius was essentially biologically immortal, though was not a true immortal as his lifespan did have a limit. 
====Mental Abilities====
Genius Intellect: Aurelius was an incredibly intelligent person, to the point that he qualified as a genius, though he personally disliked the label. Aurelius was very culturally minded and he had many skills relating to Arts and Humanities and had a natural talent for mathematics despite his dislike for it. Aurelius was also incredibly gifted at learning combat skills and reasoning, and was an incredible strategist and tactician, with Headmaster Henkel considering him one of the best he had ever known. With the sheer amount of subjects that Aurelius had competency in, he could be considered a polymath. Aurelius did have some things that held his intelligence back and in some matters, he could be quite ignorant or even idiotic at times. Annaliese once stated that Aurelius was both one of the smartest people she had ever met and one of the stupidest. Aurelius is not the smartest person in the world or even on his team, but his intelligence is respected and he is considered extremely intelligent. 
*Adaptability: Aurelius could adapt to his situations and surroundings incredibly quickly. While Aurelius might be caught off guard when his situations change, he can find a way to adapt to his new situations without faltering for long. This is not foolproof and certain situations have shocked Aurelius so much that he is completely knocked off guard with no hope of recovery. This ability to adapt allowed Aurelius to face various circumstances that most couldn't cope with, but he could either get through with little effort or hold on until he got help.
*Creative Thinking: Outside of Aurelius' ability to use logic, he was a very creative thinker. Aurelius was able to come up with ideas and solutions that others didn't both because of his naturally creative sensibilities and the vast amount of ideas he simply came up with trying to find the right plan. On the surface, some of these ideas can seem stupid (and a lot of them were somewhat idiotic), but Aurelius has actually used them to some success. Aurelius' plans might be barebones at times and his bizarre lines of thinking can simply come off as unusable, but he has used them to outperform others and come up with solutions that others simply haven't conceived of yet.
*Fast Learner: Aurelius was an incredibly fast learner to the point that it was considered absurd. When Aurelius put his mind to it, he could learn things extremely quickly in nearly all fields. While most knights began training at seven years old and were knighted at 21, Aurelius started training at eight and was fully knighted at 15, having reached a level where he even surpassed most veteran knights. This also allowed Aurelius to understand things like techniques, spells, or abilities very quickly within a few uses which allowed him to counter them or even replicate them (to the point that he could perfectly counter or replicate certain techniques after seeing them once). Aurelius was noted to be able to learn from his opponents as he was fighting.
** Mimicry: Aurelius had a natural form of lesser mimicry. Simply by watching a technique a couple of times, Aurelius could begin to replicate it to a certain extent. Unlike true mimicry, Aurelius could not perfectly copy a technique by watching it once, only getting a good idea of how to do it by watching it several times. This means that Aurelius learns things incredibly quickly but not perfectly, necessitating an immense amount of training to get it right and a mentor to guide him correctly so he doesn't learn bad habits or do it wrong which would cost him in the long run. There were many moves that Aurelius was unable to copy because of their complexity or just not being compatible. Even if Aurelius could not perform something he memorized, he could still use it to his advantage. Aurelius could memorize his opponents' or allies' techniques, weaknesses, and advantages and plan around or with them. This lent very well to his image training ability, allowing him to accurately predict what his opponents or allies would likely do and make extremely accurate plans with that knowledge.
*Fast Processing Speed: Aurelius had an incredibly fast mental processing speed. Aurelius joked that he could think a mile a minute and this was not very far off from the truth. While his thoughts were focused, he processed information extremely quickly and he could simply just think faster. This played a part in Aurelius' immensely fast reaction time which allowed him to come up with dozens of plans in seconds and react to things the second they happened. Aurelius could even use his magic, qi, and Bastion of Heroism drive to reinforce his brain and speed up his mental processing to absurdly fast levels if he really needed to (though this came at the cost of immense pain and risking him losing consciousness when he was done, even risking hemorrhaging his brain if he wasn't careful).
*Exceptional Memory: Aurelius' memory was incredibly keen with him being able to remember even the most minute details for great periods of time. Aurelius once claimed that he could remember everything he had ever heard, though this was an exaggeration on his part. Aurelius' memory was almost photographic, but not quite that level as he could forget things, especially things he didn't consider important. Corbyn once said that Aurelius' mind was like a supercomputer or memory bank.
*Observation and Perception: Aurelius possessed great observation skills and perceptive abilities. These skills tied into Aurelius' superhuman senses which allowed him to easily observe the area around him and the phenomena therein. Aurelius' observational skills allowed him to be acutely aware of nearly anything in his general area, even the smallest of details he would perceive. While most things would most likely be forgotten or ignored for being unimportant, Aurelius will still be aware of the subtle changes. This is a boon for battle as it allows Aurelius to be very aware of his surroundings and his opponent at all times. Aurelius can pick up the smallest of tells and can counter most attempts of stealth by noticing the subtle shifts in the environment and he knows the best way to use his environment to his advantage. Certain things are outside his ability of observation, it is possible for him to inadvertently look over something by deeming it as unimportant, and certain abilities, Arts, Drives, and magics can negate his observational abilities. Aurelius' observational skills did not apply to everything, and he had aspects he was almost completely blind to (such as social situations and especially romance) and he could simply perceive things wrong by not getting a full picture and making a conclusion that wasn't supported by facts.
*Logical Reasoning: Aurelius possessed great skills in logical reasoning. These abilities complimented his intuition and observational skills, allowing him to logically make inferences and deductions about what to do next or what others were planning on doing. While Aurelius has made poor judgment calls or came up with the wrong solution, his deductive and abductive reasoning was very strong and he was usually right about the inferences he came up with. This was perfect for his role as the tactician and strategist as it allowed him to find the best solution to a problem using logic. While sharp to begin with, Aurelius' experience only honed this ability further and he was able to use his magic and drive to reinforce his brain processes, making it so that his brain processed information faster so he could make more deductions and do them quicker. Aurelius can come up with hundreds of possibilities in seconds, find the solution to his problem that gives the greatest chance of victory, and then follow that plan. While Aurelius tried to be reasonable at all times he was someone who lived by his emotions, which often caused him to throw logic out the window to follow his heart, for better or for worse.
*Strong Intuition: Aurelius possessed an incredibly keen sense of intuition. Aurelius could safely intuit his way around most aspects of life without pre-planning. Despite vastly preferring making strategies before he gets into a situation, Aurelius was able to get through most situations by the seat of his pants just by following his instincts. Aurelius' sharp instincts allowed him to almost automatically know the best way forward to achieve his goals and he instinctively had a gut feeling that allowed him to progress in new situations and locations, and knew when things were favorable or unfavorable for him without having a good picture of things. In battle, Aurelius had an instinctive knowledge of what moves would give him the best chance of victory. Aurelius' intuition also gives him an out against things like Presence Concealment, as he would instinctively know that something is wrong so he would be on guard. Aurelius' intuition only heightened through his training, experience, his energy sense, and his ESP. Aurelius' reflexes, deductive abilities, and strategic mind allowed him to truly take advantage of his instincts both in battle and in daily life.
Strong Sense of Empathy: Aurelius had an incredible amount of empathy for others. Aurelius could understand what people were going through and this allowed him to guide them through their issues or relate to them. This sense of empathy also allowed Aurelius to understand what others were thinking and why they felt that way. While Aurelius could use this to manipulate others, he would feel terrible for doing it, so he instead uses this empathy to genuinely help others. This strong sense of empathy was part of the reason that others trusted Aurelius so much as they knew that he would try to understand them and show them genuine compassion for it. Aurelius was simply naturally predisposed to feel sympathy for others, empathize with them, and show them compassion so they get help. Even with how empathetic he could be, Aurelius did have his limits and there were simply some things and emotions he just couldn't understand and people and things he hated no matter how much he tried to accept them.
==== Social Abilities====
Immense Charisma: Aurelius naturally had an immense level of charisma. Aurelius had a natural ability to make others take note of and listen to him. Aurelius' friends stated that he just had a sort of likeability to him that people took note of. While there were plenty of people who didn't like him or flat-out hated him, there were more who couldn't help but like him a little bit and respected him. Aurelius' charisma was not superficial and he was a generally earnest man who spoke from his heart.
Leadership: Aurelius was a natural leader. Aurelius could garner loyalty from people through his natural charisma, strategic mind, and ability to befriend others. Aurelius' strategic skills and creative thinking allowed him to guide others in battle and others put their trust in him that he would guide them effectively. Aurelius' ability to lead stretched from a small team like a standard sentinel unit all the way to an army. Aurelius typically led from the front alongside those whom he led and often spent his time with them, whether it was an army or a small group he would get to know them.
====Spiritual Abilities====
Indomitable Will: Aurelius' will is extraordinarily strong. Even in the worst of situations, Aurelius refuses to waver from his course nor do his beliefs buckle. Aurelius' will is so great that he can resist mind control and force himself to ignore illusions. He may be tempted for a few seconds but will double his efforts to continue onwards. Even when taking wounds that should immobilize or even kill anyone who was inflicted with them, Aurelius would simply will himself to continue despite them. Aurelius' sheer will even allowed him to delay or prevent his death, such as restarting his heart just by pure willpower. Aurelius' will is so great that his friends believed that he could force himself to do anything once he set his mind on it and he has bent the fabric of reality through his spirit, defying the laws of nature, the will of the Gods and planet, fate, and even rewriting reality to get his way.
Immense Courage: Aurelius possessed immense courage. Although Aurelius did feel fear, he never let it control him and acted despite whatever terror he could be faced with. Even with all the anxieties he felt and the frightening situations that he got into, Aurelius didn't let it get to him and pushed through them as though they didn't affect him. Aurelius' courage was so great that others thought he didn't feel fear, though he informed them otherwise.
Pure of Heart: Aurelius was a rare person who was Pure of Heart. This meant that Aurelius was completely sure of their path, goals, and identity and unable to be turned away from them. This played into Aurelius' indomitable will and meant that he could not be corrupted by anything and had access to select magic, abilities, and techniques that only someone pure of heart could do such as being able to ride unicorns, have pure qi, and resist influence from others.
Qi: Aurelius was capable of using qi for a variety of purposes. While not as versatile in scope as magic or psionics, qi was very useful for fighting and martial arts, being energy used through physicality and it was something that anyone could acquire naturally through training and meditation. Aurelius was very adept at using qi and his qi and had qi that was both plentiful and very powerful while having extremely fine control.
*Qi Aura: Aurelius could produce a powerful aura to act as a sort of protective barrier around him. It also gives Aurelius a sort of energy signature that can be sensed, with that signature essentially being the feeling of his soul. Aurelius' aura has been compared to that of a brilliant and powerful star that could never be quenched.
*Immense Qi Reserves: Aurelius had a great reserves of qi both due to naturally possessing it and because of his extensive training. This gave Aurelius a great amount of qi to utilize for different techniques and abilities. Aurelius' training allowed him to gradually increase his qi throughout his life. By the time he reached his peak, Aurelius' qi reserves were immense and Bastion of Heroism allowed him to increase his levels to an almost limitless extent.
*Immense Qi Quality: The quality of Aurelius' qi was immense as a result of his training and meditation. As a result, his qi was incredibly potent. After he became of pure of heart, Aurelius' qi also became pure and so it became much more powerful than it once was. As a result Aurelius qi was essentially on the level of holy magic. Aurelius was also able to use a darker type of qi and that was dominant during his quest for revenge, though after he returned to normal his pure qi took precedence.
*Immense Qi Control: Aurelius had great control of his qi which allowed him to use a variety of techniques without too much trouble. This also allowed Aurelius to do techniques that should normally be very costly to his energy without expending as much as others would have to.
* Qi Sensing: Aurelius was able to sense the qi and auras of living organisms. As long as someone was not actively suppressing their energy, Aurelius could sense them. Aurelius could even sense those who didn't have those energies unlocked, simply sensing the faint signatures of their life force. Aurelius could also identify someone by their unique energy signatures. This allowed Aurelius to know who someone was whenever he sensed them reading the unique data of their soul to know who they were. Aurelius reached such a level with this ability that he could get basic insight on someone by reading their energy giving him some basic information (identity, age, mood, intentions, etc.). Aurelius has mastered this ability, though it took him a very long time to even get the basics.
Extrasensory Perception: Aurelius had a sort of "sixth sense" that alerted him to nearby danger and the general direction in which it was occurring. It also makes him more perceptive of his general area. It allowed Aurelius to perceive supernatural phenomena and also acted to improve his instincts. Aurelius also stated that his perception allowed him to know generally what he needed to do to achieve his goals such as telling him what the best path to take on a journey is. Aurelius' ESP also allowed him to instinctively know the cardinal and ordinal directions, time, or temperature without needing to check them. It also allows Aurelius to have a lesser form of the Art, Hawkeye, allowing him to "see" things across vast distances he can't actually physically see. Although he can't literally see farther than the limits of his eyes, by concentrating on his ESP he can instinctively know what is farther than the limits of sight. Aurelius' ESP usually took the form of a tingle, though it could turn into a light headache or even into an intense migraine depending on the situation.
Enlightenment: After temporarily fusing with the Monad, Aurelius became one with all reality and thus reached enlightenment. Even after unfusing with the Monad, Aurelius retained completely enlightened to the ways of the world. Compared to other beings which either live in harmony with existence or are connected to a fragment of the Monad which gives a similar effect, Aurelius genuinely was the embodiment of the universe briefly which gives him enlightenment on another scale.
====Magical Abilities====
Magic: Aurelius was born with the ability to produce and use magical energy and he was noted to have insanely large reserves of mana that were also of exceptional quality. Aurelius was also proficient in using the ambient mana of the world, however, it was harder to control and was a much slower process than using his own magical energy, with ambient mana often requiring elaborate ceremonies. Aurelius was even proficient in using his magic without a conduit or glyph, being able to achieve magical effects simply by speaking or thinking a spell he wanted to use. Aurelius' great reserves and potency of magical energy, knowledge of spells, and immense control of magic were enough to make him a truly exceptional mage and he had the qualifications to be an Arch-Mage. Despite this, Aurelius did not consider himself one and most magus would never think of accepting him. Aurelius did not have the mindset of a magus. Mages were like scientists and frequently pushed the bounds of magic to the greatest extent. Aurelius simply did not have the mindset to do so, preferring to learn magic that he considered useful and nothing more. While not necessarily a bad thing and it was the common mindset of most non-magus magic users, it was not the mindset of a magus. Aurelius had no speciality or signature brand of spellcasting, being a jack of all trades with skills in most types of magic. While this would normally have its fair share of drawbacks in making him less proficient in all those fields than true masters of them, Aurelius was immensely skilled in most fields of magic to the point that he rivaled or outpaced most masters in pure power and quantity if not technique, making him closer to a master of all. Aurelius' Drive, Bastion of Heroism, allowed him to magnify his magical energy even more. Theoretically, Aurelius could reach an infinite amount of energy, but practically he has only ever been able to multiply it. The highest multiplier that Aurelius has achieved is 10,000,000x his natural power which allowed him to overcome nearly any obstacle, though at a great price to his body. With the great amount of magical energy that Aurelius had to his disposal there was almost nothing that Aurelius couldn't do with magic, reaching the power of the Greatest Gods and even the Aeons, though it took him a long time to access and make use of that potential.
* Immense Mana Reserves: Aurelius was born with vast reserves of magical energy that were well above that of the average magus. Aurelius' reserves of mana were naturally extremely plentiful thanks to his heritage as the Lyons family were naturally adept with magic and the Pendragon's derived their magic from their draconic and fairy heritage. After Saint Michael and Lucifer were bonded to Aurelius' soul, Aurelius magical reserves skyrocketed to the point of being well into the upper echelon of gods and even rivaling God himself, however, the restrictions that Merlin put on him and the way that those spirits melded together made it so that Aurelius couldn't access that boundless energy naturally, being stuck with his natural magic reserves (which were already impressive as a baseline). Once Aurelius began to make use of his angel and demon forms, he was able to access the true depths of his magic potential in an incremental fashion, making his reserves even larger but in specific ways (such as his angel forms boosting his holy magic but negating his ability to use demonic magic and vice versa). Aurelius was eventually able to undo the restrictions that Merlin put on him and perfectly fused with Michael and Lucifer, giving him full access to all of their magic. As a result, Aurelius had a near limitless and inexhaustible reserve of magic that was arguably even greater than most Aeons. Even still, Aurelius willingly put limiters on himself similar to Merlin's restrictions so as to control his mana better.
*Immense Mana Regen: Aurelius regenerated his mana at an absurdly fast rate. Magical energy naturally regenerates over time once expended, though the process is expedited through rest and consuming food. The average mage could take almost a full day to recover their reserves from empty to full, however, Aurelius could naturally do so in hours. Aurelius could also speed up the process with Bastion of Heroism, allowing him to regenerate his mana in seconds and even overclock it so that he regenerated his mana faster than he expended it. Aurelius had the potential to be an infinite battery of magical energy, never running out because of his drive.
*Immense Mana Quality: The quality Aurelius' mana was immense, resulting in his spells being very powerful and effective. The source of this quality was because of his many origins and sources of mana. As a result of this great potency, Aurelius could unleash immensely powerful spells that overpowered most other spells. While the amount of mana that Aurelius possessed changed depending on his circumstances and form, the quality of his magic always remained consistent as top tier.
*Magical Affinities: Aurelius had a great number magical affinities which resulted in him being able to use a great many different types of magic. While he wasn't able to use all kinds of magic, he could use several kinds of magic which was very beneficial for him.
**Demonic Magic: As he is part demon, Aurelius could use and emit demonic or black magic naturally without having to make a pact with a demon, god, or other being. Beyond adding to his mana reserves, it also allowed Aurelius access to several spells and abilities unique to this kind of magic. Since Aurelius possesses the soul of Lucifer, Aurelius' black magic is great in both quantity and quality.
**Draconic Magic: Aurelius had access to the unique magical energies of dragons. This functionally added to his mana pool and allowed him to use dragon spells and other magics. As Aurelius' draconic element was light, his light magic was particularly powerful.
**Elemental Magic: Aurelius was able to use all sorts of elemental magic and mix them together. Aurelius had a natural affinity for all the elements, though his most powerful affinity was to fire, though he also had a great affinity to lightning and ice.
**Fairy Magic: Aurelius had access to the unique magical energy of fairies. This functionally added to his mana pool and allowed him to use fairy spells and other magics.
**Holy Magic: As he is part angel, Aurelius could use and emit holy and white magic naturally without having to make a pact with a god or other being. Beyond adding to his mana reserves, it also allowed Aurelius access to several spells and abilities unique to this kind of magic. Since Aurelius possesses the soul of Saint Michael, Aurelius' holy magic is great in both quantity and quality.
**Musical Magic: Aurelius was capable of using magical music, whether it be from singing, humming, whistling, playing magical instruments, using mundane instruments to play magical songs, or dancing.
**Neutral Magic
**Runic Magic
**Time Magic
*Immense Mana Control: Aurelius originally had great difficulty in controlling his magical energy which compromised the usefulness of his spells and often resulted in rebounds or him wasting mana. While Aurelius always had enough magical energy to lessen this waste, he was still poor at performing magic and both Morgan and Gwenddydd argued that it was because of his immense reserves he had such horrible mana control. Through training, meditation, and tutoring from his mentors, Aurelius managed to attain immense control of his mana. As a result of his great control, Aurelius could use a great many types of spells of different types without having to worry about rebounds. This also allowed Aurelius to do techniques that should normally be very costly to his energy without expending as much as others would have to.
Magical Aura: Aurelius could release an aura of his magic. It essentially revealed Aurelius' true magical power and acted as a limited protective barrier, though not as strong as one made from qi or an actual protection spell. It also made Aurelius easier to sense. It was essentially useful to reveal his location, to serve as a distraction, or for intimidation.
*Demonic Aura: Aurelius could emit a demonic aura from his body for a variety of effects. This aura acted as an invisible barrier that protected him from minor damage and helped him resist holy or anti-demon magic or weapons for longer. This aura also caused his opponents to feel more fear and stress.
*Holy Aura: Aurelius could emit a Holy Aura from his body for a variety of effects. This aura acted as a sort of holy shield that protected him like an invisible barrier that was especially useful to defend against evil, demonic, or black magic. It also eliminated his fear and stress, while also doing the same for his allies. Aurelius could also use this aura offensively by channeling it into a body part or weapon to deal holy damage.
Magic Resistance: Aurelius is extremely defensive against all kinds of magic. Any spell that does not reach a certain potency will be instantly nullified the instant it is used against him and any magic that breaches that potency will still be reduced a great deal. Magical attacks either do less damage or in some cases don't affect him at all and mental interference can simply be ignored or voided. Only the most powerful types of magic can easily break through his natural defenses or void it entirety, such as those from Gods, Devils, Dragons, Fae, or mages of comparable ability. Aurelius could selectively allow certain magics through if he wished, allowing him to make use of healing magic or enchantments from others. This resistance also extends to psychic energy, though not to qi. Aurelius can boost his magic resistance to an even greater extent, such that even the concept of destiny can no longer affect him. What is fated to occur to Aurelius is no longer guaranteed, essentially becoming one possibility amongst others that he affects. Even items that can manipulate fate such as the Spear of Destiny will no longer be able to affect him as such, with Aurelius being able to escape from certain death that they bring. When boosted by Bastion of Heroism, even the magic of omnipotent beings like Yahweh, Ayin, or even the Monad was regulated to being as effective as a spell from an ordinary mage. Even reality manipulation are unable to effect Aurelius when this drive is active and it also excludes him from being affected by innate domain manifestations and he can instantly dispel any magic that is cast on him. It is the reason that he survived Ayin's destruction of the Universe. It is probable that Aurelius' bizarre luck is the result of his magic resistance altering how luck affects him. 
* Anti-Magic Field: Aurelius could expand his innate magic resistance into an area of effect with a maximum of 30 feet. It did not nullify all magic but did nullify most due to his powerful resistance. Aurelius could also selectively allow certain magics through if he wished. This also had the effect of causing damage to spiritual or magical entities that are caught in the field. Aurelius could use Bastion of Heroism to enhance this field which negated all magic, psionics, qi, and even most Arts and Drives. When boosted this field will make anything supernatural almost instantly negated and rendered fully null. Supernatural beings are still allowed within this area, though they are slowly weakened making them no more powerful than a human and few may even die if they remain in the field for too long. Aurelius is not exempt from this and can not use any other ability other than keeping the field up or using Bastion to boost it.
Mana Sensing: Aurelius could sense magical energy. This allowed him to know when magical energy was being used, if someone had the potential or presence of magical energy with them, or if an item was enchanted. As long as the magical energy wasn't actively being suppressed, Aurelius could sense it. Aurelius stated that he mostly senses magical energy through both his sight and his sense of smell, and his friends compared him to a bloodhound when it came to sensing mana.
==== Supernatural Abilities====
Fairy Abilities: Thanks to his descent from Morgan le Fay and having several fairy ancestors in his father's line, Aurelius has strong Fairy blood within him. Beyond the immense effect on his mana reserves, it gave Aurelius a number of different abilities that were only available to Fairies. Thanks to his nature as a hybrid, Aurelius lacks the full power that a full-blooded Fae would have but still benefits from these abilities.
*Fae Aura
*Fae Magic: Aurelius had access to the unique magic of the Fae. This functionally added to his mana pool and allowed him to use fairy spells and other magics.
*Fairy Eyes: Aurelius possesses the eyes of a fairy, which gives him a variety of different powers. The Fairy Eyes allows him to instantly know the secrets of a magic spell, giving him knowledge of how it is done but not necessarily giving him the ability to replicate it. They also give him insight into a person or object he is looking at.
* Nature Connection: As a Fairy, beings that have an intrinsic connection to nature, Aurelius has a connection to nature itself. This allows Aurelius to navigate forests on an instinctive level and he has a special bond with animals. Aurelius can understand the emotions of animals and can speak to them on a basic level, allowing him to tame them easily. While he can't actually communicate with them as such, he does understand their intentions, wants and needs on a basic level and they can understand his. Aurelius can basically speak to animals in a strange way (much to the confusion of those around him) and often does verbally speak to animals as though he were talking to another person. This also gives Aurelius the ability to form bonds with animals who will instinctively be able to understand him and work like telepathy so they know when they are needed. This let Aurelius tame wild or even rampaging animals, with him having soothed and even befriended dangerous animals like bulls, bears, wolves, and lions.
Dragon Abilities: As a descendant of Arthur Pendragon, Aurelius had draconic blood which gave him access to draconic magic, arts, and drives. Aurelius' draconic element was that of light. 
*Dragon Aura: Aurelius could emit a Draconic Aura from his body for a variety of effects. This aura acted as a sort of shield that protected him like an invisible barrier. When flared this aura frightened his enemies and increased their stress, outright knocking those with weaker constitutions out of the fight. On the other side, it emboldened Aurelius' allies and caused them to fight better. Aurelius could also use this aura offensively by channeling it into a body part or weapon to deal extra damage or shoot it out as an energy attack. Aurelius could also use his dragon aura to manifest a phantasmal dragon from his body such as a dragon's head which can bite and attack his enemies.
*Draconic Magic: Aurelius had access to the unique magical energies of dragons. This functionally added to his mana pool and allowed him to use dragon spells and other magics. As Aurelius' draconic element was light, his light magic was particularly powerful.
*Dragon Forms: Aurelus had a number of draconic forms which increased his power and draconic side.
**Stage 1: Aurelius' first draconic form increased all his physical parameters and slightly changed his appearance, notably causing him have slitted pupils, sharpened canines, and a draconic aura.

**Stage 2: Aurelius could transform into a humanoid dragon form. This form increases Aurelius' senses, strength, speed, durability, stamina, agility, and magical ability. Aurelius also gets the use of horns, fangs, two dragon wings, and a tail and his skin becomes as hard as dragon scales. Aurelius' wings allow him to fly as a dragon could and his horns, fangs, and tail could be used as weapons. Aurelius could maintain this form for about five hours before he had to revert to his human form.

Saint Michael & Lucifer: During the Tragedy of Monte Sant'Angelo, Aurelius accidentally disturbed the seal of Saint Michael & Lucifer, resulting in Merlin resealing them within Aurelius both to keep him alive and to keep the twins sealed away. While neither can interact with the physical world, they are both able to speak to Aurelius and to each other. While originally sealed away so that he couldn't hear them, Aurelius accidentally discovered them when his training accidentally caused the seal to weaken slightly. The two essentially act as advisors, mentors, and guides for him, giving him advice on his situations and helping him in battle by acting as extra sets of eyes and ears and advising him on the best method forward. While Lucifer originally tried to tempt Aurelius to sin and become the next Demon God, he still gave honest advice when asked, and had a vested interest in keeping Aurelius alive. Lucifer was eventually convinced by Aurelius' methods and decided to repent for his sins and work with Aurelius and his quest for righteousness. Michael also had his goals, but he still liked Aurelius and most of their ideals aligned so he was happy to work with him. The two are essentially trapped in Aurelius' soul and are present in his soulscape, allowing him to interact with them while in there. While they are both fully aware of the outside world, they were also able to sequester themselves deep into his unconsciousness which made it so they could not perceive the outside world and Aurelius could not perceive them, something useful for giving Aurelius privacy during intimate moments. Aurelius was also able to temporarily give over control to either one of them, but he was wary to do so because of his fear of what they might do. Aurelius later learned a spell that allowed him to summon them as familiars, which temporarily allowed them to exit his soul. Aurelius later merged with them fully, gaining all their abilities and knowledge, though his personality remained the same and they ceased to exist. While sorrowful to lose two people he cared for greatly, Aurelius accepted them as part of him and was forever grateful for the part they played in his life.
Heavenly Restriction System: After Saint Michael and Lucifer were sealed within Aurelius, Merlin placed an extremely potent spell to restrict and limit their power within Aurelius. This made it so that Aurelius could not access most of his power and could not be taken over by either of them, even making it so that Aurelius couldn't speak to Michael and Lucifer. However, this restriction would be damaged through Aurelius' training, letting Aurelius access that power in a number of stages. The restrictions were different for his angel and demon forms, resulting in him having different forms and conditions for removing them for both forms. Aurelius could remove both at the same time, but the inherent contradiction between being angel and demon caused him immense pain and the strain would kill him if he remained in it too long or removed too many limiters. The limiter for his demon form was faulty, causing him to accidently transform into his early stages of demonic power if he was too emotional. By contrast, he could only access his angelic abilities based on his purity, not being able to access them if he was acting too sinful (i.e. overcome with rage, hatred, or bloodlust). To access his higher stages of power, Aurelius had to intentionally and verbally remove them with the incantations being "Release Restraint Level: 666" for his demonic forms and "Release Restraint Level: 72" for his angelic forms. After Aurelius merged with Saint Michael and Lucifer, Merlin's restrictions were removed permanently. Aurelius would later add his own restriction system to limit his power to more useable levels, though he could remove both restrictions simultaneously safely with him using the incantation "Release Restraint Level: 777" to access his full power. 
Angel Abilities: Aurelius possessed angelic abilities from Michael’s spirit. Aurelius was originally unaware of this and was awed when he discovered it. Unluckily, Aurelius was unable to make much use of his angelic power due to the requirements of using angelic energy. Aurelius was able to use some abilities, but not much. After Aurelius was able to speak with Michael and Lucifer, they were able to guide him in how to use his angelic power. Aurelius briefly had his abilities completely closed off to him, but he later gained full access to them.
*Stage 1: Aurelius' first stage enhanced his abilities and made him more holy, though he remained more or less human. Aurelius was more in the realm of a Nephilim than an angel.

**Angel Eyes: Aurelius possesses the eyes of an Angel which gives him certain abilities. Aurelius can instantly see the character of a person, gaining an insight into them as a person. While not able to give him every single detail, it is useful to see a person's intentions, trustworthiness, and potential. It essentially allows Aurelius to detect "evil" or "righteousness" in a way.

Demonic Abilities: Stemming from the presence of Lucifer within him, Aurelius has the abilities of a demon. Aurelius was originally unaware of his demonic powers and was horrified to learn about them. Aurelius was disdainful of his abilities and refused to use them, but later started to accept them. Lucifer helped teach Aurelius how to use them and to not be ashamed of them. For a brief period, Aurelius was stuck with these abilities permanently and was becoming more demonic. At one point, Aurelius lost complete control of himself and had to be beaten into submission so he could return to human form. Aurelius was wary to use his powers as he felt he could lose control of himself, but he eventually exorcised the evil in his heart and accepted his demonic heritage fully allowing him full access to his demonic abilities. Aurelius can switch between his human and Demon forms at will, though he retains many of the abilities in Human form. Aurelius has very powerful demonic powers and is classified as a Satan-level power.

***Bone Spikes: Parts of the bone armor were spiked which could be used both offensively and defensively.
**Fangs: Aurelius' mouth changed with his mouth getting larger and him growing more sharp teeth, giving him a maw full of fangs. These fangs allowed Aurelius to rip and tear like a beast, allowing him to bite out parts of people's bodies and even puncture armor and he could easily bite off a person's head if he were ever so inclined.
**Claws: Aurelius' nails sharpened into extremely sharp claws. These claws were sharp enough to cut steel and he could even climb surfaces by puncturing into a flat surface.

Angel-Demon Hybrid Form: Aurelius was later able to use both his Angelic and Demonic forms at the same time, giving him the full power of both at the same time. Aurelius is at his strongest when in these forms having the full range of his abilities and rivals the most powerful Gods and even the Aeons.
Great Red Dragon of the Apocalypse (Formerly): Thanks to the presence of Lucifer within him, Aurelius had the potential to turn into the Great Red Dragon of the Apocalypse, the strongest Demonic Dragon with the potential to consume the entire universe. Aurelius was unaware of this potential and it was locked away thanks to the presence of Saint Michael whose holy presence fought off this transformation. Few people were aware of this or that Aurelius could become the most dreaded Beast in all existince and both Michael and Lucifer hid the transformation from him. Ayin's Cabal would attempt to force Aurelius to turn into the Great Red Dragon first removing Michael and Lucifer's influence in Aurelius and later implanting Diabolus in him to take over his body and force the transformation. While the transformation was started, Aurelius was defeated by his friends before it was completed. Aurelius would eventually expunge both the Great Red Dragon and Diabolus from him, removing his ability to become the beginning of the end.
Will of the Planet (Formerly): During certain situations, the Will of the Planet has deemed Aurelius to be its best shot at ensuring Earth's survival. As such, the Will of the Planet has gifted Aurelius power to make his victory much closer. This is not a permanent boost, only lasting for as long as the threat is present and it can be taken away as easily as it is given. While Aurelius has benefited from this gift in power, he has not always been given it and sometimes has had to fight against others who were given that boost.
Will of Humanity (Formerly): During certain situations, the Will of Humanity has deemed Aurelius to be its best shot at ensuring humanity's survival. As such, the Collective Unconsciousness has gifted Aurelius power to make his victory much closer. This is not a permanent boost, only lasting for as long as the threat is present and it can be taken away as easily as it is given. While Aurelius has benefited from this gift in power, he has not always been given it and sometimes has had to fight against others who were given that boost.
Monad Fusion Form (Formerly): After he defeated Ayin, Aurelius temporarily fused with the Monad to recreate the universe. Despite having the potential to remain fused and become one with the universe and thus bend it in any way he wished, he refused and defused with the Monad once he brought back the universe Ayin destroyed. This form made Aurelius one with everything and able to freely manipulate the universe in any way he wished, making him the most powerful entity in all existence.
====Other Abilities====
Luck: Aurelius has extremely strange luck. No one is sure if he is fortunate or unfortunate as he always seems to find himself in precarious or otherwise horrible situations, but almost always escapes them with nary a scratch. He is a magnet for trouble and things will often go wrong for him, but good things do happen to him frequently as well. This was not the result of an art, drive, or magic that affected luck and probability, it was simply Aurelius' natural luck. Corbyn has christened Aurelius as either being "the luckiest unlucky bastard on Earth" or "the unluckiest lucky bastard on Earth." There is reason to believe that Aurelius' terrible luck might be the Source of the Universe attempting to get back at him for defying fate, but his luck is naturally amazing resulting in him having both the worst luck in the world and the best luck at the same time.
===Skills===
====Physical Skills====
Weapon Mastery: Aurelius had mastery or skill with a great variety of weapons through immense training. From swords to firearms, Aurelius has undergone rigorous training to gain some skill in a great variety of weapons since he was eight years old. Although he did not have natural talent in the use of all weapons, his training has resulted in him having basic competence in many weapons, despite that lack of talent. Aurelius' Weaponsmith and Weapon Tracing art, temporarily gives him more information on how to effectively use a weapon if he didn't have the information beforehand but only when that summoned weapon is active. 
*Master Swordsman: Aurelius is considered one of the best swordsmen of his generation if not one of the greatest in history. By the time Aurelius was in his late teens, he was considered quite skilled and his ability to use the sword only grew with experience. By the time Aurelius was 20 years old, he was considered one of the foremost swordsmen on Earth. Aurelius has learned multiple disciplines of sword fighting from multiple people, including his parents, both of his grandfathers (Arthur and Charles), Sir Lancelot, Sir Roland, Corbyn Griffith, Miyamoto Musashi, and Kojiro Sasaki, amongst others. Aurelius combined these methods of swordsmanship into a single style he used himself. Aurelius has learned a variety of schools of swordsmanship, though he primarily uses Western swordplay with influence from English, French, German, and Italian fencing. Aurelius also used some Japanese swordsmanship and incorporated elements of dance into his swordplay. Aurelius could fight defensively or offensively with a sword and had a range of movement options. Aurelius' primary technique was very utilitarian with no flashy movements, using extremely fast and powerful strikes to end fights as soon as possible. While Aurelius preferred to be practical when fighting, he could be flashy when he wanted, and there was an element of grace in his swordplay despite its sensible nature. Beyond its use as combat, Aurelius treated swordsmanship as an art to be mastered and considered his blade to be an extension of himself. Aurelius was capable of dual-wielding swords with other weapons like shields, daggers, guns, other swords, his scabbard, or even spears, fight with his sword sheathed, using swords while mounted on animals like horses or even dragons, launching gusts of powerful wind with every strike, could chop hails of bullets in half with his speed and accuracy, could deflect hundreds of fast-moving projectiles without breaking a sweat, could do a quickdraw similar in principle to Iaido, could unleash a flurry of hundreds of sword strikes near instantly, and perform moves that should not be possible, such as using his teeth to swordfight. In his hands, a sword can function as a spear, shield, war hammer, or even a long-range weapon. Aurelius' speed with a sword was immense, to the point that he could strike so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye and unleash strikes that were nearly at the same instant. Aurelius has also thrown swords like javelins or throwing knives to great effect. Aurelius has regularly cut monsters and even people in half without breaking a sweat, cutting through their bodies like a hot knife through butter. Aurelius has even cut through auras and magic barriers without the use of magic, simply with his pure skill, speed, and power. While Aurelius cannot reach true enlightenment without his angel form, Lian has stated that when watching Aurelius practice the sword he has achieved absolute clarity of mind and does not need to think when using a sword. Swordsmanship is as natural to Aurelius as breathing and so his movements are almost pure instinct and without thought, something only the best swordsman could ever achieve. Aurelius could even use a sword while paying attention to something completely different (such as reading a book) or without using his vision. While Aurelius was not the best swordsman in the world and certainly not the best swordsman in history, he was considered a true master of the sword with few rivals and was truly in the upper echelon of swordsmen. Aurelius later wrote a book about how to be a proficient swordsman and taught his school of swordsmanship to his children.
* Master Spearman: Aurelius was considered one of the best spearmen in the world, having become extraordinarily skilled with a variety of spears and other polearms. While not originally his weapon of choice, Aurelius has trained his ability to use polearms and is quite capable. Aurelius learned from King Arthur, Sir Percival, Sir Lancelot, Sir Tristan, and Sir Bedivere as a child, though he also learned from Kaoru and Sétanta while at Bastion, later apprenticing under Scáthach with Sétanta. Aurelius' skill with polearms only grew with experience, and he was very well known for his ability to wield polearms in a variety of different ways, both Western and Eastern styles. Aurelius began favoring spears more and more as he grew older, and he began using spears as much as he did swords. Aurelius could throw spears such that they acted almost like missiles, could unleash a barrage of stabs almost instantaneously, use spears while mounted on animals like horses or even dragons, block hails of bullets and other projectiles by spinning his lance, could cut things in half with his spear, could shatter metal by swinging a polearm like a bat, could also use his spear for a variety of acrobatic maneuvers like vaulting, could use spears with other weapons like shields without any problems, and could even dual-wield spears with almost no drop in ability. Aurelius was noted to be an exceptional jouster, rarely losing any matches. While a polearm is generally used at a certain range, Aurelius has shown the ability to fight close to his enemies and never falter. Although he would always prefer swords to polearms, Aurelius was very much a master of the spear. Aurelius also reached a point where he didn't even need to think while wielding a polearm. Wielding a spear was as natural to Aurelius as breathing, and so his movements were ingrained into his instincts and subconscious being able to fight even while distracted or having his eyes closed.
*Master Shieldmanship: Aurelius was very skilled with the shield, being able to use it in a variety of ways both for defense and for offense. Aurelius was skilled enough with a shield to block and deflect nearly any attack that was used against him no matter how powerful or fast. Beyond defense, Aurelius also uses his shield as a weapon in his offhand, crushing and bludgeoning anyone who comes into range. Aurelius has even decapitated monsters with his shield using its bottom edge. Aurelius has also thrown his shield like a discus with amazing results.
*Master Knife Fighter: Aurelius was very skilled with a variety of knives and daggers. Aurelius has learned a variety of different ways to fight with knives and is skilled at using them as melee weapons or by throwing them. Aurelius' skill with knives was immense and nearly to the level of his swordplay. Knives were not Aurelius' primary weapon, but he did use them to augment his fighting style and could fight with them as his main weapon if he didn't have access to another. Aurelius could throw dozens if not hundreds of knives and daggers at once, all with the speed and strength to puncture through solid steel, as though it were tissue paper. Aurelius was also able to cut monsters in half with his dagger with little trouble and with almost no real effort.
*Master Archer: Aurelius is a very capable archer. Aurelius was taught by Sir Tristan and became quite skilled at archery as a sport, for hunting, and fighting. Aurelius was talented at both sniping from extremely far distances as well as using bows at close range with immense speed. Aurelius could fire nine arrows at the same time with minimal loss of power and accuracy and could fire arrows in rapid succession, even going so fast that he rivaled automatic firearms. In addition to regular or magic arrows, Aurelius has used energy arrows made from his mana. This allows Aurelius to rapid-fire small, not very powerful arrows or let loose massive bolts that take a lot of mana to create. Aurelius can fire hundreds of mana arrows at the same time similar to a machine gun, and giant blasts similar to artillery shells. Aurelius is also capable of mounted archery, whether it be on horseback, riding in a vehicle, or even flying, being able to remain as accurate as ever despite the conditions. Through his magic, Aurelius would develop a way to fire modified swords and lances as arrows for extra weight and damage.
*Master Marksman: Through the years, Aurelius has become a very skilled marksman when it comes to firearms. While originally somewhat apprehensive of firearms as he saw them as something a knight wouldn't use, Corbyn and Johnny made sure that Aurelius learned how to fire and properly maintain a variety of firearms. Aurelius has shown proficiency with a variety of firearms including revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, rifles, and shotguns, as well as artillery like cannons or heavy machine guns. Aurelius had been shown to land shots that were almost impossible and use very advanced techniques, such as spinning his pistols while firing. While Aurelius still prefers melee combat with swords and using magic over using firearms, he is very capable of using firearms when he needs to and no longer has any stigma about it.
*Skilled Axe User: While not his favorite weapon, Aurelius was proficient in the use of axes. Aurelius' ability to use the axe exceeded the ability of most and he could easily kill massive monsters with them. Aurelius has even shown proficiency in throwing axes that were as large as he was, killing multiple monsters with a single thrown axe.
*Skilled Whip User: Aurelius has proven dexterous enough to use various whips and flails without much trouble. While not his favorite weapon and he has stated that they are somewhat impractical in a fight, Aurelius has used a variety of whip weapons with significant skill. Aurelius claims that his training to become anywhere close to competent with such a weapon was some of the most difficult he had ever undergone. Thanks to his family's connection to Sonnenschein, Aurelius will always have mastery of it as long as it is in his hands, however, this does not extend to any other whip or flail weapon.
*Improvisational Weapons: Aurelius has used mundane objects such as tree branches, pencils, kitchen utensils, coins, playing cards, sports equipment such as baseball bats, hockey sticks, or pool cues, brooms and mops, bottles, furniture, torches, or other such items as viable weapons. While Aurelius usually uses one of his actual weapons to fight, he has simply picked up items near him to use in a pinch. Aurelius has even uprooted entire trees, marble columns, lampposts, or similar objects and used them as clubs. Aurelius has also clothing or armor as weapons, most notably using his scarf as a weapon by pumping qi and mana into it to strengthen it. Because of his immense strength and speed, most of these items do not last beyond a single use unless he is especially careful with them or uses reinforcement on them. Aurelius has defeated extremely experienced combatants handily with only everyday objects, much to their humiliation. If there is a way to turn something into a weapon, Aurelius will find a way to do it if he needs to.
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Beyond his skill with weapons, Aurelius has learned a few unarmed martial arts. Aurelius fights using mixed martial arts, primarily from different styles of kickboxing and wrestling. Aurelius mostly has a background in English Boxing, Savate, and Freestyle Wrestling, though he has since added elements from Muay Thai, Sanda, Bajiquan, Krav Maga, Judo, and Defendu. Aurelius also had a habit of employing professional wrestling moves and adding his dance knowledge to his fighting style, particularly elements of breakdancing. Aurelius also had some knowledge of attacking pressure points which allowed him to subdue enemies quickly and reduce their ability to use magic or qi, though he was not as adept at targeting them as other fighters. Aurelius would never claim to be a master of the fighting styles he uses and a true master of martial arts would easily beat him, but he has found a way to take elements from them to make a style that works for him. Aurelius was not as skilled at hand-to-hand combat as Lian or Janet and Karolina and Alexandra were better wrestlers than him, despite the fact that he easily outclassed them in strength, speed, and endurance at full power. Aurelius' experience, speed, stamina, and strength mean that few could genuinely outclass him unless they specialized in it. Aurelius was equally as good at striking, grappling, and ground fighting, and would switch from one to another depending on the situation. While Aurelius was typically a very brutal fighter, Aurelius was very proficient in subduing his opponents without harming them which proved useful for when he was dealing with people drastically weaker than him or people that he wanted to avoid hurting. Aurelius' movements were incredibly fast and powerful, and he could launch hundreds of strikes in seconds with blistering speed like that of a machine gun and few could break his grasp once he caught them. Aurelius would rarely choose to fight without a weapon in hand, but he has no shortage of options without one. Even when armed, Aurelius still added punches, elbow and knee strikes, kicks, headbutts, and grapples into his fighting style.
Master Equestrian: Aurelius was a very skilled equestrian being able to ride nearly any kind of animal, even beyond horses. While Aurelius favored horses the most, he has also ridden other animals meant for transport like oxen or camels, wild animals such as bears and lions, magical beasts, dragons, wyverns, unicorns, and even demons. Aurelius was able to gain the trust of animals quickly and could use them for various types of transport quite well. Aurelius was also a trick rider, being able to do a great degree of fancy stunts whilst riding.
Skilled Swimmer: Aurelius was quite skilled at swimming being able to swim without problems even when being encumbered by armor and weaponry. Aurelius was good enough to keep u[ with and even beat other skilled swimmers while wearing full plate armor. Aurelius was considered one of the best swimmers on the team. Aurelius has been able to swim against strong currents with great success and his stamina allowed him to do so for long periods. Aurelius was also skilled at diving and could hold his breath for at least 30 minutes and his superhuman physiology allowed him to endure extremely heavy pressure and harsh temperatures.
Skilled Acrobat: Aurelius is a very capable acrobat. Aurelius is very acrobatic and is capable of incredibly complex maneuvers. Aurelius took many gymnastics courses both as part of his knight training and doing so with his siblings because they didn't want to learn them alone and he practiced yoga both for meditation and to increase his flexibility. Aurelius is easily capable of performing various things like flips, rolls, and springs and has been able to do multiple somersaults even when wearing heavy armor with barely any effort. Aurelius has been able to do as many as 12 flips in a single leap. Aurelius was also noted to be quite skilled at freerunning and parkour, being able to traverse dense environments on foot very quickly. Even when wearing a full set of armor and being encumbered by his equipment, Aurelius showcases agility that would make even a professional gymnast balk. Aurelius can traverse through cities and forests in minutes through a mixture of his enhanced physical abilities and simple ability to run through them. 
*Skilled Climber: Aurelius had exceptional skill with climbing and scaling objects. Even without his use of magic to cling to surfaces, Aurelius has repeatedly shown the ability to climb up buildings, trees, cliffs, and other such fixtures without any trouble, even while he was wearing heavy armor or had many weapons on his person. Aurelius could scale almost anything, even if it was difficult to get a proper hand or foothold.
Stealth: While not his specialty, Aurelius has shown the capability to use stealth. Aurelius has gotten some training from his friends and as part of Bastion's curriculum. Aurelius has shown to be capable of meet the standards of Stalwart's specialist division with little difficulty, which is an extremely high bar. Aurelius was able to completely disguise his presence such that he couldn’t be sensed, something that was very hard to do.
Sleight of Hand: Aurelius learned a variety of tricks involving sleight of hand. While initially they were just novelty tricks to entertain, Aurelius was capable of using them for other purposes. Corbyn taught Aurelius a few useful tricks like pickpocketing.
*Lock Picking
*Pickpocketing
====Mental Skills====
Master Tactician/Strategist: Arguably Aurelius' greatest asset is not his martial ability, but his mind. Aurelius is a very quick thinker and can come up with several plans to ensure victory. Aurelius prefers to go into a situation with several plans already thought of, but he is also good at coming up with ideas on the fly. Aurelius aced the leadership and theoretical portions of Bastion's academia and was at the top of the class when it came to those matters. Aurelius has served as an advisor to Director Zhukov, who valued his judgment on these matters. Aurelius' ability has translated to large military operations and he was thought of as a rather skilled general. While not one of the best strategists to live, he was very skilled at it and has even tripped up some of the great masters. Aurelius' very emotional personality, nerves, and his morals sometimes got in the way of his effectiveness at a tactician and he did occasionally make mistakes (some of which were even obvious) but his skill in the field was still apparent.
Extensive Monster Knowledge: Aurelius was very well informed about various different types of monsters of many different categories or origins. Aurelius knew a great amount of different monsters whether they were as common as goblins or as rare as golden dragons. Aurelius knew about the different behaviors, habitats, diets, strengths, weaknesses, and even the anatomy of different monsters. This allowed Aurelius to strategize how to defeat or avoid different monsters effectively. While this sort of knowledge is expected of any competent sentinel, Aurelius had a personal interest in monsters that led to him learning more about them. Any knowledge that Aurelius lacked on monsters, he typically consulted his family bestiary for more information on.
History Knowledge: Aurelius had an enjoyment of history and studied it in his off time, thanks to his family history. While not a historian, Aurelius did have an interest in it and was one of the more historically conscious members of the group. Aurelius would eventually get a bachelor's degree in history from Bastion. Aurelius claimed to have considered going for his master's as well but was too busy with his other responsibilities to continue on that path. Aurelius was not as well learned in non-European history, though he did know the basics of most places.
Cultural Knowledge: Aurelius had a love of learning about other cultures and peoples and always made a point of talking to locals when he traveled. As a result, Aurelius was very culturally minded and quickly got a grasp of different traditions, social mores, and even local myths, legends, and fairy tales. Aurelius was more concerned with everyday life and stories than things like high society, though his position forced him to learn those as well. Aurelius also had a love for pop culture from different eras, particularly the 20th and 21st century, often indulging in his hobbies with his sisters, Eleanora, Janet, and Karolina. Annaliese and Haruhi were both more cultured that Aurelius in most matters, and Lian's travels around East and Southeast Asia in his youth made him much more aware of cultures there than Aurelius. 
Medical Knowledge: Despite having extremely potent healing magic, Aurelius felt learning more about medicine would be incredibly useful. Aurelius studied under his aunt Bridget (who was considered one of the best doctors/sentinel-medics in the world) and took a few medical classes while at Bastion under Nurse Prim. This skill also helped focus his healing magic to a better degree which made it more useful. Aurelius' medical knowledge also gave him knowledge of anatomy which also assisted him in combat by knowing vulnerable points and which areas were ideal for attacks, as well as what parts of his body he could reinforce with magic or qi for the best results possible. Aurelius is a very capable medic and has a license to work as one after passing a test at Bastion. While Aurelius is a good medic and his healing magic is very useful, he is not a doctor and is no substitute for one. Aurelius knew the second most about medicine out everyone aside from Lian and was the third best healer after Eleanora and Annaliese.
Legal Knowledge: While not a lawyer, Aurelius did know his fair share of laws stipulated by the United Nations and was very well-versed in French and British law. While all sentinel are required to have some knowledge of laws, Aurelius' interest in history and knighthood gave him more incentive to learn about the law and he had a great amount of legal knowledge which was frequently very beneficial, especially as a knight he was frequently one of the few law enforcers in the frontier regions. Aurelius frequently used his legal knowledge to find loopholes around certain problems and to defend himself for some of his less-than-legal actions. Aurelius joked that he learned what the laws were so that he could break them more easily, though he often enforced the law as much as he broke it. Aurelius had the third most amount of legal knowledge after Annaliese and Lian.
Mathematics: While Aurelius wouldn't call himself a mathematician and he honestly disliked math, he was very good at it. Aurelius could run calculations in his head very quickly and accurately, with his mind being like a calculator. Beyond helping him keep track of logistics and making use of it during fights to keep track of accurate angles of attack, distances, and other relevant information. Aurelius' math skills also allowed him to be a very talented artillery commander.
*Money Management: Aurelius was very skilled at managing money. Aurelius knew how to give wages, how to get the most out of his earnings, and when to save his money. Aurelius could also manage the finances of others whether it be his team or running the logistics of an army. It was not something he enjoyed, but it was a necessary thing to know and he tried his best at it.
Philosophy: Aurelius had an interest in philosophy because of his religious beliefs. While not as much of a philosopher as some of his friends like Lian or Kaoru, Aurelius did muse on philosophical topics and was very willing to discuss his beliefs and musing with others. Aurelius was mostly familiar with Western philosophy, though he also took an interest in Eastern philosophies through his travels and discussions with Lian, Kaoru, and Haruhi.
Puzzle and Riddles: Aurelius had an appreciation for puzzles, riddles, and other brain teasers. Beyond being able to solve them quickly and do them well, Aurelius was also able to issue his own which were noted to be quite hard to solve. While they didn't always pop up, Aurelius was usually the one to solve whatever puzzles came up. This also allowed Aurelius to solve crack codes and ciphers.
Detective Work: While not an exceptional detective, Aurelius had skill in investigation and detective work. Aurelius was mostly an amateur at this work, but it was something he had competency in. Aurelius' skill of observation allowed him to find clues and information rather quickly and his wealth of knowledge, creative thinking, and fast thought process allowed him to find the truth of matters quite well. Aurelius was not as good a detective as Corbyn, Sétanta, or Haruhi, but was still quite skilled
Psychological Warfare: Aurelius knew how to manipulate his opponents during fights, being able to take advantage of their mental states and decrease their morale. Aurelius mostly used these skills by taunting his enemies so that they made sloppy mistakes while enraged or ramping up his more intimidating features to scare them into submission. Aurelius was not very happy with using these skills, but he had them and used them when he felt he needed to.
Espionage & Counter-Espionage: As part of his training at Bastion and in Stalwart, Aurelius learned many skills for espionage and counter-espionage. Aurelius was somewhat adept at gathering information covertly in many different forms as well as stopping others from learning information. Aurelius also knew various codes and ciphers, as well as how to break them. Aurelius was also a rather skilled interrogator. While at one point Aurelius did use torture, he stopped that both for moral reasons and because of his perception of it lacking success. Aurelius instead used his affable nature and skills at comforting others to subtly coax others into giving information freely. Aurelius was also trained in how to resist torture and not give up any information.
Agricultural Knowledge: Aurelius often helped out with the local farms and ranches near Versailles and Camelot. Aurelius knew a lot about farming, ranching, and gardening. Aurelius has also worked as a shepherd and cowboy. While not applicable to his chosen profession, Aurelius could do rather well with a farm or as a pastoralist and had a habit of talking shop with farmers when doing missions in rural areas. Aurelius also often discussed farming with Mateus. This also allowed him to identify various types of plant life which helped with his survival skills.
====Social Skills ====
Skilled Diplomat: Aurelius is a skilled diplomat and prefers to talk things through without violence whenever he can. Aurelius is capable of talking down conflicts at different scales whether at a personal level or national. Aurelius finds diplomacy to be one of the most effective tools that a sentinel can ever use and so values the skill immensely.
Skilled Orator: Aurelius was a rather skilled orator. Aurelius frequently had to give speeches and he delivered them very well, speaking clearly in erudite ways. Aurelius' skill at oration also translated to him being a very good storyteller.
Multilingual: Aurelius was capable of speaking a multitude of different languages. Aurelius was fluent in English, Welsh, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Latin. Aurelius was conversational in Greek, Russian, and Turkish. Aurelius also had a basic understanding of Hebrew, Standard Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin, and Japanese, though often needed to take pauses to translate in his head and made mistakes. Aurelius could also speak the Fae Language, Enochian, and Adamic. Although not a spoken language, Aurelius was fluent in French and British Sign Language. Aurelius could also read Egyptian and Akkadian hieroglyphics. Aurelius would learn a spell that made his mind translate any language whether spoken or written so that he and whomever he was addressing could talk as though they were speaking the same language. This technically didn't give him knowledge of the language itself, only translating them instantly (though in practice the difference is negligible).
Deception: Aurelius is very skilled at deception. While Aurelius disliked lying, he was surprisingly good at making up things on the spot and being able to play it off as the truth. A big part of this is that Aurelius allows others to make up their own interpretations of the truth and feeds into it. Aurelius' skill at deception only increased with time and training. It is less that Aurelius is good at lying, which he would honestly say that he isn't, but he does have skill in distorting the truth in ways that aren't technically lying but achieve the same effect. Lucifer taught Aurelius to be an amazing liar to the point that he had no tells when lying and he could be quite the smooth talker (even if he felt immense disgust for it).
Skilled Negotiator: Aurelius was very skilled at negotiating with others. Aurelius could find solutions to problems between two quarreling groups that satisfied both parties reasonably well. Aurelius' methods weren't foolproof but he could negotiate with other people very well.
* Bargaining: Leading from his negotiating, Aurelius was a consummate haggler and would angle bargains whenever he could get one. If there was a chance that Aurelius could make a deal that benefited him without it being unfair to the other party, he would take it.
Skilled Teacher: Aurelius had great teaching skills. Aurelius was very patient and empathetic with those he was teaching, and made sure that they understood what he was talking about. Aurelius could teach many kinds of students and always tried his best to reach them, taking every step to match the style of teaching that suited them best. Aurelius was noted to be very fair and pleasant to those he was teaching, while not being afraid to be strict or even scolding when he needed to be. This also spread to his training others in combat being very fair at most times.
====Artistic Skills====
Master Dancer: Aurelius is a talented dancer, having learned a variety of different styles with the prompting of his mother and sisters. Whether it is casual dancing, formal dancing, folk dancing, synchronized dancing, clubbing, breakdancing, or even ballet, Aurelius will draw eyes as one of the best dancers in the room. Aurelius has beaten his sisters, Janet, Sétanta, Lian, Haruhi, and Annaliese in dancing competitions, though they were difficult affairs. Aurelius has performed in idol competitions (partially against his will) to great acclaim. Aurelius claimed to be the Lord of Dance, though he was extremely drunk when he made that declaration.
Skilled Actor: Aurelius was a very skilled actor who could give a great performance. Aurelius was very convincing and was trained to be an actor both out of personal interest and partially for his training. While Aurelius had the capacity to be a professional actor and a phenomenal one at that, but he had no interest in that field other than taking part in amature productions with his friends and family or when he had to for missions. 
* Voice Acting: Aurelius is a rather talented voice actor having a surprisingly high range. Probably the best example of this ability was in Amazonia when Aurelius disguised himself as a woman. Aurelius voice was so convincing that no one was able to tell that he was actually a man. Aurelius is also capable of ventriloquism or throwing his voice.
*Disguises: Aurelius was surprisingly good at using disguises. This was not out of some inborn talent or even because he wanted to be, he simply often drew the short end of the straw and frequently found himself in situations where he needed to use disguises. Aurelius' sisters' habit of playing dress up with him also probably played a part in it.
Skilled Musician: Aurelius was a skilled musician having talents in writing and performing music. Aurelius was by no means a real professional, but he did have a great natural talent for music as well as having been taught by Sir Tristan. Aurelius wrote music, was a multi-instrumentalist, and he was a good singer. Aurelius wrote some music and lyrics in his spare time and was a bit of a poet. Aurelius' siblings and his friends (especially Sétanta) gave less than stellar reviews about his original work, though some of his friends seemed to like it and everyone agreed that Aurelius did have great skill in performing music if not writing. Aurelius' skill came from a mix of his own interest and talent, as well as the presence of Lucifer who was the Angel of the Arts.
*Multi-Instrumentalist: Aurelius could play several instruments. Aurelius had access to Lucifer's Drive Archangel of the Arts, which gave him skill in all musical instruments, however, Aurelius typically relied on his own innate skill and talent. Aurelius' favorite instruments were the guitar, violin/fiddle, piano, pipe organ, and flutes (particularly ocarinas) and they were the ones he was best at. Aurelius was also good with the harmonica, bass guitar, banjo, sitar, cello, drums, saxophone, accordion, bagpipes, lute, harp, and lyre. Aurelius was a better pianist and violinist than Annaliese, despite her having having the best masters as her teacher, something that infuriated her to no end. Aurelius was not as good a musician as Amadeus and he stated that Amadeus was better than him by magnitudes and Aurelius was not as good at music as his sister Violette. Aurelius also lost a music contest to Apollo, though he earned Apollo's respect and he stated that Aurelius was an excellent musician.
*Skilled Singer: Aurelius was a very good singer, but his nerves tended to get in the way of it and he wasn't very confident in his voice. Aurelius' friends and family helped him find more confidence in his singing voice and he had a rather good range. Aurelius usually sang in a heldentenor, but he occasionally strayed into a baritone. Annaliese, Haruhi, Amadeus, and Violette were all better singers than him.
Skilled Artist: Aurelius was an immensely skilled artist, having a passion for the arts. Aurelius was very good at drawing and painting, finding them to be relaxing and a form of meditation. Aurelius would never be able to be a professional with his level of skill, but it was very good for someone who did not dedicate himself to the craft. Aurelius also had talents in woodworking and carpentry, leatherworking, pottery and ceramics, making jewelry like bracelets or necklaces, metalworking, and paper craft such as origami and Papier-mâche. Aurelius was known to occasionally handcraft small trinkets both to pass the time and to give gifts to his loved ones. Aurelius was capable of making sculptures, though he admitted it wasn't one of his better talents. Aurelius had some minor knowledge of architecture, but more for critiquing than actually designing anything himself. Aurelius also had skills in needle and textile arts like sewing, crochet, embroidery, quilting, knitting, weaving, and knotwork. Aurelius handwriting was noted to be immaculate and he practiced calligraphy. Aurelius also had an interest in photography and was a member of Bastion’s photography club and was a photographer for the student paper. Aurelius also seemed to have an eye for fashion, particularly women's fashion, as well as interior decorating. Aurelius also had some knowledge of filmmaking, but was not one himself. Aurelius had no skill with pottery or ceramics, admitting to being terrible at creating them and, in fact, seemed to have much more talent in destroying them. For whatever reason, when Aurelius comes into contact with a pot, it will inevitably find a way to break, even if he hasn't touched it. Aurelius' skill came from a mix of his own interest and talent, as well as the presence of Lucifer who was the Angel of the Arts.
*Cartography: Aurelius had some knowledge of creating maps using his survival skills and his drawing skills. Aurelius' maps were effective, if somewhat crude in make. Aurelius was nowhere near a professional, but his maps were serviceable and better than anyone else's attempts in the group. Aurelius developed this skill with his grandfather.
Skilled Writer: Aurelius was a good writer who edited for a few published works (mostly Dahlia and Haruhi's "literature") and even wrote his own books. While they weren't perfect, Aurelius' books sold quite well. Aurelius' skill at writing was rather mixed when it came to poetry. Aurelius was not as good a writer as Annaliese, Haruhi, or Lian but he was not half-bad.
Skilled Blacksmith: Aurelius apprenticed under a blacksmith in his youth and specialized in making blades (such as knives, daggers, swords, polearms, and axes), shields, and armor pieces. While not exceptional, he is licensed and is very competent at the job. Aurelius made most of his equipment himself and knew how to maintain them as well. He has no real skill with firearms or mechanical weapons beyond what he had been taught to take care of his equipment.
====Other Skills====
Master Survivalist: Aurelius was taught survival skills by his family during his camping trips and as part of his knight training. Aurelius took these lessons to heart and continued to practice them as he got older. Corbyn also taught Aurelius to be very skilled at surviving in the wilderness with little to no equipment or preparation. Aurelius is capable of crafting, camping, hunting, fishing, foraging, building shelters, and other related skills. Aurelius had an uncanny sense of direction which allowed him to instinctively know what direction he was facing. Aurelius has been able to survive being lost in woodlands, mountains, deserted islands, tundra & taigas, and deserts with next to no supplies and still manage to thrive, relatively speaking. 
*Skilled Hunter: Aurelius was a very skilled hunter. Aurelius could expertly track, stalk, trap, and kill prey effortlessly without spooking it and without causing too much pain or damage. Aurelius also knew how to skin, dress, and prepare the game he caught and stated he didn't even really need to think while doing it, it all being ingrained into his instincts.
*Skilled Fisher: Aurelius was an extremely skilled fisherman. Aurelius absolutely loved fishing and stated that it was one of his favorite ways to pass the time. Aurelius found fishing to be immensely relaxing and he just really liked doing it. Aurelius could fish with a fishing rod, spears, bows and arrows, nets, traps, or even just use his bare hands to pluck fish from the water.
Homemaking: Aurelius has a variety of skills related to homemaking. Aurelius' parents insisted that the Lyons siblings help around the house alongside the servants, so even if it was technically "below his station," Aurelius had several chores that he took part in. Aurelius had a natural talent for homemaking and was jokingly called "the ultimate househusband." While Aurelius naturally took to most of these skills, they mostly developed because his sisters tended to dump their chores on him. As such, Aurelius is very skilled at cooking, housekeeping, laundry, gardening, landscaping, plumbing, carpentry, and sewing amongst others. Aurelius was also an exceptionally good handyman having been taught by his father and grandfather how to handle most repairs by himself. Aurelius was stated to be rather fussy when it came to keeping things clean and often lightly chastised his friends and family when they made too much of a mess while cleaning up after them. 
*Master Chef: Aurelius is an amazingly talented chef who can make delicious meals that are apparently so good that he rivals some of the best chefs on Earth. Aurelius shares the role of team chef with Lian and the two consider themselves rivals when it comes to cooking, with Lian being one of the few people who can give Aurelius a run for his money. Even with scrounging up materials in the wild and just using a campfire, Aurelius could make a hearty meal that anyone can enjoy. Aurelius specializes in making French, Italian, German, and British cuisine, but he has also learned to make some food from other cultures to broaden his horizons. Aurelius is also a very talented baker (and the second best in the group after Eleanora), being able to make a variety of baked goods and confections. Aurelius' immense skill with cooking is natural, though his experience and practice have brought it to great levels.
*Serving: Aurelius was a more than passable butler and servant. Despite being a prince, Aurelius insisted on helping with chores and learned how to be butler from the servants at the castle. While not an actual butler, Aurelius did learn from them and could do those duties well. This came in handy for disguises and Aurelius had to act as a butler toward his friends a couple times because he lost bets to them.
Haircare: Thanks to his sisters, Aurelius had some skill in haircare such as washing, cutting, brushing, styling, and braiding. Aurelius could cut and style hair rather well, though he was not a professional barber. Aurelius was uncomfortable with the idea of cutting his own hair, though he did take very good care of it. Aurelius apparently used women's hair products, even using the same products as Janet.
Cosmetics: Thanks to his sisters, Aurelius knew how to apply cosmetics such as makeup, skin care products, and perfumes very well. Some of Aurelius' friends and sisters noted that he might have been better at applying makeup to them better than they were. Aurelius' fairy heritage meant he didn't have to bother with skin care routines or perfumes and so he often didn't.
Massages: Aurelius was very good at giving massages, as attested to by his friends and family. Aurelius had enough skill to be a professional masseur, but he had no interest in such a thing. Aurelius' friends and family stated that he had "magic hands" and his massages always seemed to melt away the tension that they felt.
Driving: Aurelius can drive a car, truck, motorcycle, or other motor vehicle reasonably well. While Aurelius prefers riding horses to driving, he is good enough that he has no issues and no one else has issues if he drives. Aurelius could drive a stick shift but found it very annoying, vastly preferring automatics. While not a mechanic, Aurelius could do basic maintenance of vehicles and had a large hand in building his motorcycle along with Janet and Zofia.
Piloting: Aurelius had some training in piloting aircrafts. This was not Aurelius' favorite method of travel, but he had some competency in it. Aurelius was not the first choice to pilot air vehicles, but he could do so when required.
Chess Grandmaster: Aurelius is a registered member of the World Chess Foundation and received the title of Grandmaster. Aurelius was good enough at chess to beat fellow grandmasters Charles Lyons, Gawain of Orkney, Percival de Galles, and Annaliese Linhardt von Arnim, though he has never been able to beat Headmaster Henkel (though he admitted that Aurelius was one of the hardest opponents he had ever faced). Aurelius was similarly extremely skilled at similar games like checkers, xiangqi, shogi, mahjong, and Go.
Card Games: Aurelius was skilled at card games such as patience/solitaire, poker, blackjack, bridge, or other games. The more the games relied on skill, the better he was at them, however, the more luck based they were the more variable the results were.
===Techniques ===
====Physical Techniques====
Afterimage: Aurelius was capable of moving so fast that he left afterimages behind. While these afterimages can't actually do anything, it is useful for leaving one behind so the opponent is briefly distracted or confused, either allowing Aurelius to evade attacks or distract his opponent long enough for him to attack them. Aurelius has been able to move fast enough to leave hundreds or even thousands of afterimages behind. 
*Afterimage Circle: Aurelius walks in a circle around his target, causing several afterimages to trail behind him. Eventually there are so many afterimages that it is nearly impossible to tell where the real Aurelius is, allowing him to rush in for an attack.
*Afterimage Strike: Aurelius creates a single afterimage and vanishes. Once the opponent attacks his afterimage, Aurelius swoops in and strikes them from behind.
Air Slam: Aurelius leaps into the air and slams into the ground usually striking with his weapon all the while. This causes an immense amount of damage and causes a shockwave, but is easy to predict.
* Ultimate Chokeslam: Aurelius grabs his opponent by the throat and leaps high into the air before slamming his opponent into the ground, keeping his grip firm and using all his body weight to make it even harsher on his opponent while using their body to break his fall.
*Magnum Backbreaker: Aurelius grabs his opponent in an Argentine Backbreaker before leaping high into the air. As Aurelius lands, the force propels his opponent into his shoulders, doing immense damage before Aurelius throws them away.
*Maximum Stomp: Aurelius leaps up extremely high into the air and then rockets down the ground in a divekick, slamming down at terminal velocity. The end result is a massive crater and earthquake that does immense damage.
*Soaring Falcon Kick: Aurelius charges energy in his fist and uppercuts his opponent, with the power launching them high in the air. Aurelius leaps up after them and performs an axe kick, slamming his opponent hard back toward the ground.
Air Superiority: Aurelius uses his strength to launch his opponent into the air and then leaps after them. While they are in the air, Aurelius unleashes a barrage of strikes: slashing them eight times, punching and kicking them higher into the air, slashing them five more times, slamming them back to the ground, and finally stabbing them from above.
Blade Catcher: Aurelius waits for his opponent to attack him, then catches his opponents weapon with his hands. Aurelius often uses his hands to clap an opponent's sword around the blade, stopping it. Aurelius can also use a single hand or even his fingers to catch a sword without harm, and has even caught a blade with his teeth on at least one occasion. Once caught, Aurelius can then disarm his opponent or break their weapon entirely. 
*Scabbard Catcher: Aurelius grabs his scabbard and uses it to catch his opponent's weapon. As his opponent's sword slides in the sheath, Aurelius wrestles it away, disarming them and allowing him to strike them.
Boomerang Blade: Aurelius throws his sword as though it were a boomerang to attack multiple enemies, with it going at extremely fast speeds that make it carve its way through everything. Aurelius can use his magic to cause the blade to return to him. Aurelius often uses the elemental magic within the sword to give it an effect such as fire, freezing, or shocking for added damage. Aurelius throws the blade horizontally, vertically, and diagonally depending on the situation. 
* Sword Missile: Aurelius throws his sword up into the air and waits for it to fall in front of him. As it nears, Aurelius punches the pommel of the sword sending it flying forward with all the force of a missile. Aurelius has also done a variant with a bicycle kick rather than a punch. Despite the name, Aurelius could also do it with his spear.
*Boomerang Guns: Aurelius throws both Lux et Umbra and uses his magic to keep them firing. The pistols pepper the area with bullets before hitting their target and bouncing back so Aurelius can grab them again.
Bullet Catcher: Aurelius catches a bullet or multiple bullets out of the air. While he normally uses his hand, he has also used his sword for a similar effect and even caught bullets with his teeth. Aurelius can flick the bullets he caught back at his opponents with great speed and precision. Aurelius has also done this with arrows, knives, spears, and even magic or qi blasts. 
Bullet Dance: Aurelius rushes toward his opponent with his pistols drawn. Aurelius then dodges around his opponent while firing at them in close range. Aurelius' movements look like an elaborate and beautiful dance and he lets the recoil of his pistols help him move. 
Chain Shot: Aurelius fires Lux et Umbra multiple times in quick succession, chaining attacks which juggles his target in the air. 
Cleaving Hand: Aurelius motions his hand similar to a chop then performs a cleaving motion. Using his magic or qi to reinforce it, Aurelius can cleave through people, monsters, or objects with his hand as though it were a blade.
Dancing Blade: Aurelius rushes toward his opponent and begins weaving around them, performing a number of slashes and stabs as he moves. The effect is that he looks like he is performing a beautiful dance as he dodges his opponents and strikes at the same time.
Dashing Slash: Aurelius rushes forward with immense speed and the leaps toward his opponent, doing a lightning fast slash as he nears his target. 
*Dashing Feint: Aurelius rushes forward with immense speed, preparing to strike his opponent. At the last second, Aurelius drops down to his knees and slides on the ground striking at his opponent's legs while they are focused on his initial attack or sliding between their legs to attack them from behind.
Desperation Bite: Aurelius bites his opponent, usually aiming at either their jugular or their hand. It was a desperation attack Aurelius used when he had no other moves to use. While almost useless in most cases, Aurelius has been able to bite out an opponent's throat in certain circumstances. 
Disapproving Stare: Aurelius gives a stern glare at his target that indicated his unhappiness, disappointment, and disapproval to them. It often stopped his target in their tracks and got them to reconsider their actions. It was not a move meant for combat, but rather to keep his teammates, friends, or family in line when they were misbehaving or acting poorly, though he has used a harsher version that achieved a scarier effect on certain opponents. It has also been called his leader or dad stare. 
Dispersal Throw: Aurelius grabs a charging opponent by the arm and back to direct their momentum while keeping his leg steady to trip them up. Aurelius then tosses them away from him, with their momentum sending them crashing to the ground. It was a simple judo toss meant to take out an opponent almost harmlessly. 
Double Aerial Split Kick: Aurelius leaps into the air and then lashes out with his legs, performing a split kick that strikes in two different directions. 
Dust in the Wind: Aurelius either causes a small dust storm or scoops up dirt/sand/dust and throws it into his opponents eyes. This distracts his opponent, allowing him to take advantage of the moment to attack. 
Ear Tug: Aurelius grabs his target by the ear lobe and sharply pulls it, enough to cause discomfort and it could be used to force the target to move where Aurelius wanted by dragging them with him. It was not a technique for combat, but instead a discipline move meant that was not meant to cause pain per say, but it was not very comfortable to be in. It was a technique his mother (and Annaliese) used often and it was also one he found using on his teammates when they acted like unruly children. 
Exploding Strike: Aurelius charges a great amount of his energy or all of his energy in his weapon, fist, or foot before unleashing an extremely powerful attack. This attack is extremely powerful but is very telegraphed and somewhat slow to perform. Using his drive can enhance the strike to an extreme amount, but it will destroy his limb doing it. If it hits it will do immense damage.
*Lotus Palm: Focusing a great amount of his qi or mana into his hand, Aurelius performs a palm strike dead center into his opponent. It was a variant of Exploding Strike, though specifically focused through a palm strike. This was not as powerful as a Maximum Punch or Maximum Kick, however it sent the opponent flying back farther and stunned them for a longer time. It was originally a move from Lian's moveset, though Aurelius began employing it after he watched Lian perform it.
*Maximum Punch: Aurelius charges all of his energy into his fist and then strikes, unleashing a massively powerful attack that obliterates anything that is hit by it. Using his drive can enhance to strike to an extreme amount, though Aurelius' arm would almost certainly be shattered by the impact. Aurelius can do a similar attack with the only difference being that it's a kick instead of a punch.
*Push Kick: Aurelius lifts up his leg and performs a powerful kick straight to his opponent's sternum, sending them flying backwards.
Fingerpoke of Doom: Aurelius repeatedly finger pokes his target, prodding them with his index finger. The effect is either to annoy them or used as discipline because of discomfort. It was a move that his siblings and Annaliese often did to him either to annoy him or to prod him into doing something and he ended up picking it up for the same reasons.
* Finger Flick of Doom: Aurelius flicks his finger at his opponents nose or forehead. It was meant to annoy or cause slight discomfort to his target, usually one of his friends or siblings.
Feinting Defense: Aurelius keeps his back to his opponent with his guard down, baiting them into attacking them. As his opponent draws near and strikes, Aurelius raises his weapon behind his back to parry the attack and immediately lashes out with an elbow strike his opponent's neck. Aurelius then spins around and performs a mighty slash to his opponent
Flying Arckick: Aurelius leaps into the air and somersaults. As he does so, Aurelius kicks in an arc movement, allowing him to hit airborne enemies and spike them to the ground similar in principle to a bicycle kick.
Flying Knee Strike: Aurelius rushes forward and leaps into a knee strike aimed at the nose of his opponent. Aurelius often follows up with a sweeping kick to the neck. The powerful strike is almost certain to break the opponent's nose and knocks them down instantly, possibly even killing them outright depending on how the nose broke and if his follow up broke their neck.
Flying Dropkick: Aurelius rushes forward and performs a powerful dropkick on his opponent. As he makes contact with his target, Aurelius braces himself and jumps at the same time, causing him to hit harder and bounce off his opponent. Aurelius then lands on his feet perfectly, while his opponent is sent flying away. Aurelius often chained this move together, bouncing from target to another in quick succession, often slashing all the while. 
Gunfire Hail: From the air, Aurelius begins spinning the air and fires volleys of bullets downwards with Lux et Umbra. This causes hails of bullets to rain down on his targets, while keeping Aurelius suspended in air until he stops firing or runs out of bullets. 
Hell Finisher: Aurelius grabs a downed opponent by the hair and lifts up their head, while winding up a powerful kick. Aurelius then kicks his target in the chin with all his might. Alternatively, Aurelius has lifted them up to follow with a knee strike to the face or lifted them up completely and began to pummel then with punches, before dropping them and kicking them away.
*Gunfire Finisher: Aurelius knocks his opponent to the ground and pulls out his pistols. Aurelius then unloads every single round into his opponent rapidly, emptying his entire clip. Aurelius has done a variant where he uses magic or qi blasts rather than his guns, riddling them with deadly energy.
*Killing Blow: Aurelius knocks his opponent to the ground and then stabs them with his sword or spear using all his might, aiming directly at their heart or neck. Aurelius has also used a variant where he lifts his opponent and then guts them with his sword or knife, stabbing them in the stomach and sawing up and down. It is a finishing attack meant to kill his target.
Hundred Slash: Using a slashing weapon, Aurelius unleashes a barrage of rapid-fire slashes in a matter of seconds. These slashes are unfocused and mostly meant to be a volley of attacks of a varying amount of lethality. 
*Infinite Slash: Aurelius uses his immense speed to slash around his body in an instant. While to the naked eye, Aurelius did not move an inch, in reality, he did hundreds of attacks in the span of a second, cutting up the entire area in a hail of slashes. It is immensely tiring to do, and Aurelius spent years refining it.
*Focused Hundred Slash: Aurelius created a variant of Hundred Slash wherein he uses his super speed to unleash multiple slashes in nearly a single instant. Unlike a regular Hundred Slash, it is a focused attack that is targeted at vital spots. Despite the name, it is not actually a hundred slashes being closer to twelve.
Hundred Stab: Using a stabbing weapon, Aurelius unleashes a barrage of rapid-fire stabs in a matter of seconds. These stabs are unfocused and mostly meant to be a volley of attack with a varying amount of lethality.
* Focused Hundred Stab: Aurelius created a variant of Hundred Stab wherein he uses his super speed to unleash multiple stabs in nearly a single instant. Unlike a regular Hundred Stab, it is a focused attack that is targeted at vital spots. Despite the name, it is not actually a hundred stab being closer to twelve.
* Hundred Stab Feint: Aurelius performs his Hundred Stab as normal (though at a slightly slower speed), though it is a distraction. While his opponent is busy dodging his stabs, Aurelius lashes out with a kick that they don't notice until it's too late.
Kip-Up: From the ground, Aurelius performs a rising handspring to bring himself to his feet, often kicking a nearby opponent as he does so. Aurelius often used it when he was knocked to the ground or he when he dropped low to dodge an attack. 
Leg Breaker: Aurelius lifts his leg and performs a powerful stomp aimed at his opponent's knee. Even if it doesn't break the opponents leg, it causes them immense pain which stuns them long enough for Aurelius to continue into more attacks. 
Machine Gun Punch Barrage: Aurelius delivers a barrage of rapid-fire punches in a matter of seconds. While mostly an unfocused rush attack, Aurelius later created a variant which focused his strikes at specific points. Despite the name, Aurelius could also perform the technique with kicks or a mix of different types of strikes. 
Meteor Throw: Aurelius grabs his opponent by their neck before leaping up into the air. Aurelius then uses all his might to hurl the opponent back the ground with immense power and speed, creating a massive crater all the while. 
Mordhau Hammer: Aurelius grabs his sword by the blade and uses the quillons to hook onto his targets leg, tripping them. Aurelius then grips the blade in his hands and performs a Mordhau, slamming the hilt into his target as though he were wielding a warhammer. After he strikes, Aurelius lets go of his sword as it makes contact with the opponent and then grabs the hilt as it bounces, before stabbing downward. 
Piercing Hand: Aurelius drives his hand with all his fingers extended and close together into his opponent, impaling them with his bare hands. Aurelius often uses his qi or mana to aid him in the process, though he is capable of doing so without them. It essentially turns his hand into a blade to stab through people or monsters with, and Aurelius most often targeted the heart when performing the move. Aurelius could also perform the same move with a fist, rather than extending his fingers.
Pressure Point Attack: Aurelius strikes at various pressure points to cause debilitating pain, paralysis, unconsciousness, or even death to his target. Aurelius could also use this technique beneficially to undo pain or paralysis, as well as a few other conditions.
*Discombobulate: Aurelius boxes his opponent's ears by slamming his fists into their head as hard as possible. The blow stuns his opponent and leaves them unable to focus, allowing him to continue into more blows.
* Energy Disabler: Aurelius strikes precisely at certain points to temporarily disable someone's ability to use qi, mana, or psionics, hampering their ability to fight effectively. Aurelius could use this technique to reverse the effect of Energy Disabler, returning someone's ability to use their energy.
*Finger Poke: Aurelius extends his index and middle fingers and aims for his opponent's eyes, poking them. This stuns and blinds his opponents temporarily, allowing him to continue into more attacks.
*Headbang: Aurelius headbutts his target in the face repeatedly, aiming specifically for their nose or forehead. This discombobulates his opponent and often breaks their nose, though it can have the same effect for him and often makes him dizzy.
*Paralyzer Stiker: Aurelius performs a heavy punch, knee, or pommel strike straight to his target's solar plexus. The strike instantly knocks the wind out of his opponents, subduing them almost instantly or stunning them enough for him to continue into a combo attack.
*Secret Lyons Technique #24: Aurelius delivers a heavy kick, knee, punch, or stab to his opponent's groin. This is meant to be as painful as possible, stunning his opponent and knocked them down. It is a dirty move that Aurelius avoids using unless he has no other choice.
*Sheer Heart Attack: Aurelius strikes his opponent at various points on their chest, eventually causing his opponent to have a heart attack and subdue them. The initial strikes themselves are harmless, but once the move is completed the effects are devastating. The move had no effect unless it was completed properly, being scarcely more than a tickle if not finished or done improperly. It could also be used to reverse the effects of a heart attack. It was originally a move used by Lian and the Jade Lotus sect, though Aurelius copied the technique.
*Snooze Button: From behind his opponent, Aurelius chops them at the back of the head or neck, almost instantly knocking them unconscious. Aurelius sometimes does a less violent neck pinch which has the same effect but is not as dangerous or painful.
*Throat Jab: Aurelius extends his fingers close together and jabs his opponent in the throat, doing immense amounts of damage, dropping them to their knees, and possibly even killing them outright.
Pummel Grab: Aurelius knocks his opponent to the ground and grabs them by one of their limbs or catches one of the limbs as they attack. Aurelius then slams them against the ground multiple times in a manner similar to a metronome before throwing them away. 
*Headcracker: Aurelius knocks his opponent to the ground. Aurelius then grabs them by the hair or face and repeatedly slams their head in the ground with full force. Aurelius usually finishes with a powerful stomp to the head.
Quickdraw: Aurelius channels his energy for a moment and then unleashes an extremely powerful attack immediately after drawing his sword from its sheath, in a matter similar to iaido. This also applies to his pistols, which he can draw and fire extremely quickly, while also being deadly accurate.
*Void Slash: Aurelius channels all of his energy and waits for the perfect moment before performing an iai strike that instantly cleaves through his opponent.
Ricochet: Aurelius fires his pistols away from his target, intending to hit them with the ricochet. While the bullet loses force from the technique, it is almost impossible to predict.
Rising Uppercut: Aurelius unleashes a massive spinning uppercut that sends both him and his opponent flying into the air. Aurelius then uses this opportunity for aerial combo attacks on his target.
*Upper Slash: Aurelius essentially performs a Rising Uppercut, but instead of using his fist and spinning, he uses a bladed weapon and slashes while leaping into the air.
Rotor Blade: Aurelius spins his sword or spear in his hands at extremely fast speeds, mimicking the rotor of a helicopter or fan. Anything that comes near the blade can then be chopped into bits, which is especially useful when dealing with opponents he knocked into the air or with hails of bullets. The motion also causes a draft of wind to occur and can disperse magic, such as magic beams fired at him.
Secret Lyons Technique #14: Aurelius strategically disengaged from a conflict and retreated, running away from the battle to think of a new plan of action or to find a different angle of attack. While considered cowardly by others, Aurelius had no shame in it and would use it if he felt it was the right call, though he would never use it if someone was in danger.
Scabbard Throw: Aurelius sheaths his sword loosely before spinning and flicking his sword. This causes his scabbard to fly off and hit his target as a projectile. 
Scarf Catcher: Aurelius removes his scarf from his neck and fills it with his qi and mana. Aurelius then uses his scarf as a rope that allows him to retrain his opponents, such as by wrapping around their arms/wrists extremely tightly. 
Shield Charge: Deploying his shield, Aurelius charges forward like a battering ram. This allows him to bash and trample over everything in his way. It relied on Aurelius' superhuman strength and speed, but it was very easy to predict and he could not easily change direction once he started.
Shield Feint: Aurelius keeps his shield in front of him as though he is about to defend. As his opponent attempts to strike his shield, Aurelius moves it out of the way at the last second. As his opponent attempts to correct their footing after whiffing their attack, Aurelius closes the distance and begins attacking. 
Shield Reflection: Aurelius performs a parry when a projectile (especially magic) is launched at him with his shield. This deflects the attack away from him and if aimed correctly, reflects the attack back at his opponent. 
Shield Throw: Aurelius flings his shield like a frisbee at his opponent. Depending on how he threw it the shield can cut through his targets and can ricochet around before returning to him.
*Shield Throw Feint: Aurelius throws his shield face first at his opponent, aiming at their face. This obscures their vision and focuses their attention on avoiding the shield, allowing Aurelius to rush in to attack while they're distracted.
Slide Kick: Aurelius rushes forward and performs a baseball slide, aiming at his opponents legs at the same time to trip them to the ground. Aurelius can then use the opportunity of his target on the ground for further attacks.
Sliding Jump: Aurelius runs forward and as he builds up speed, he performs a slide on the ground. As he reaches the apex of his speed, Aurelius transitions into a leap causing him to soar through air horizontally at extremely fast speeds. Beyond allowing him to move at very fast speeds, Aurelius can use this to transition into a dropkick that is extremely powerful. 
Spin Attack: Aurelius charges his energy for a second before spinning in a circle, slashing his opponents all the while. It is good for when surrounded by multiple opponents.
* Lift Off: Aurelius performs his spin attack but launches himself into the air while doing it.
* Rising Corkscrew: While in the air, Aurelius positions himself so that he is upside down and begins spinning rapidly with his leg outstretched in a kick. Aurelius used this move to keep an airborne opponent in the air for further combo attacks.
*Spinning Grab: Aurelius grabs onto one of his opponent's limbs and spins, slamming them into the environment and other enemies before letting go and sending them flying.
*Spinning Groundkick: Aurelius drops to the floor and begins moving in a way similar to breakdancing, lashing out with kicks all the while. Aurelius often did this when he was knocked to the ground in order to attack while recovering.
*Spinning Shot: Aurelius pulls out Lux et Umbra and begins twirling them in his hands with immense skill and artistry, while selectively pulling the triggers to fire while gunspinning.
*Spiral Heeldrop: Aurelius leaps into the air and performs an extremely fast somersault, spinning repeatedly at a very fast speed. Aurelius then transitions into an axekick, slamming his heel into his target and often causing shockwaves from the pure force of movement.
*Tornado Attack: Rather than spinning once, Aurelius continues spinning essentially becoming a human top that slashes anything that comes near him. Aurelius often ends this attack by slamming his weapon into the ground which causes a shockwave from the force it generates. It is very easy to get dizzy when performing the technique but it is very good for crowd control.
**Tornado Launcher: Aurelius performs Tornado Attack, but launches himself forward at the same time. The end result is a more deadly version of the attack which makes him into a dynamo of death and destruction. While he normally did it so he slashed horizontally, he has also done variations where he spun vertically or diagonally for different angles of attack.
Stinger: Aurelius thrusts forward with a massive and powerful stab or dashing punch/kick. While it is an attack that is easy to predict, it is extremely lethal and once it lands it can do immense amounts of damage.
Stranglehold: Aurelius chokes out his opponent either by simply grabbing them by the neck (often lifting them up in the air at the same time) and squeezing, or performing a proper chokehold with his arms. While it could be used to violently subdue an opponent, it was also able to kill an opponent easily.
*Neck Break: Aurelius grabs his opponent by the throat and lifts them in the air. Aurelius then squeezes his hand hard to snap his opponent's neck almost instantly. Alternatively, Aurelius snaps his opponents neck from behind or through a chokehold.
Spear Twirl Attack: Aurelius thrusts his spear forward with a powerful lunging attack. Aurelius then twirls the spear around him, transitioning to attacking behind him with immense force as well. Aurelius' movements while doing this are reminiscent of a flag twirler.
Spinning Speardance: Aurelius plants his spear into the ground and then spins around it, performing numerous kicks all the while. Aurelius looks as though he is pole dancing while striking at extremely fast speeds. As a finisher, Aurelius grabs his spear as he leaps into the air and then he throws down to the ground with all his might. 
Supreme Counter: Aurelius waits for an opponent to attack him. Once it is done, Aurelius either dodges, blocks, or parries the attack away and prepares to counterattack. Aurelius then rapidly slashes his opponent nine times before putting all his power in a final powerful slash that sends them flying away.
*Final Counter: Aurelius leaves himself open to bait an opponent into attacking him, before dodging at the last minute and putting all of his power into a single hit that instantly defeats his opponent. While an extremely powerful move, it was incredibly risky and could go very wrong for him if he didn't complete it correctly.
Supreme Bunker Blaster: Aurelius grapples with his opponent and suplexes them twice, then leaps high up into the air and pile drives them into the ground, leaving a massive crater in the ground. As his opponent gets up and is disoriented, Aurelius rushes in and drop kicks them away.
Sweeping Axekick: Aurelius drops the ground and trips his opponent with a sweep kick. Aurelius then rises and performs a high axekick as his target is on the ground. 
Swinging Spear: Aurelius plants his spear to the ground and then swings himself around it, kicking anything in front of him. Aurelius then lands, pulls his spear off the ground and thrusts forward with all his might. 
Thunderclap: Aurelius claps his hands together with immense strength augmented with magic and qi to create a sonic boom which demolishes the area around him and creates massive gusts of wind.
Tsubame Gaeshi: Tsubame Gaeshi is the signature attack of Sasaki Kojiro. Aurelius grabs his sword with both hands and performs a heavy slash downwards, before immediately performing a similar attack upwards at lightning fast speeds. This technique combines immense speed and power, allowing Aurelius to perform two incredibly rapidly fast attacks with extreme power at different angles. 
Unmovable Object: Aurelius reinforces his body with magic, qi, and his drive to boost his durability as high as he can manage. Any attacks levied on him are rendered useless as he slowly closes the distance. As he nears his opponent, Aurelius redirects all the energy in his body into his arm for a single ultra powerful punch that knocks his opponent across the field, possibly killing them outright depending on their durability. 
Pole Vault Missile: Using his spear, Aurelius performs a pole vault which launches him extremely high into the air, maintaining his grip on his lance all the while. While in the air, Aurelius throws his lance at his target with all his might, causing it to accrue so much force it becomes more like a missle than a spear. 
Wallbounce: Aurelius leaps around his area, bouncing off the surfaces near him at extreme speeds. As he builds momentum his target has a hard time tracking him, allowing him to attack from an unknown angle as a surprise attack with the built up momentum transfering into a might attack. 
Whip Kick: Aurelius performs a quick spin that transitions into a powerful roundhouse kick.
Whistle of Command: Aurelius put his fingers in his mouth for a very sharp whistle. It was very useful for catching the attention of others, especially when his teammates were squabbling and he needed to get them to stop.
===== Demonic Form Physical Techniques =====
Heartbreak: Aurelius plunges his hand into his opponents chest and grabs their heart, before ripping it out with his bare hands. Aurelius also sometimes crushed the heart in front of his targets eyes, splashing himself and his opponent with blood.
Tail Pierce: Aurelius used his barbed tail to stab at his target, often aiming for their neck or heart. 
====Mental Techniques ====
Image Training: Image Training was a technique that allowed one to "train" inside their mindscape. The way it worked was imagining a scenario such as a fight and running through what happens inside the mind. This uses the information about the hypothetical and everything and everyone involved in it. Aurelius was able to use this technique to picture everything he knew about his opponents and foresee how a fight would go between them. This allowed Aurelius to come up with strategies to fight them based on the reasoning he made in his mind. This is not perfect as it requires the knowledge that Aurelius has of someone and is based on what he thinks they would do, so it can lead him astray if he thinks wrong. Aurelius was capable of using a version of it during battles that essentially allowed him to predict his opponents' moves based on logical reasoning before they did them. This also allows Aurelius to run simulations in his head about his allies and friends, and predict how battles will occur. As long as Aurelius can imagine it, he will have a decent simulation of how it goes on.
Mind Acceleration: Using Bastion of Heroism, Aurelius boosts the performance of his mind so that he perceives things faster and he thinks quicker than he normally should. Aurelius also begins to perceive things as moving much slower than they actually are, because of the sheer speed his brain is going through, thus allowing him to react much more quickly than normal. It is somewhat dangerous as it can temporarily damage his mind and it often triggers his migraines, and if done for too long can cause his brain hemorrhage and kill him.
Mind Palace: Aurelius has established a "memory palace" that allows him to store information, essentially acting as a database within his mind. While not perfect, it did allow Aurelius to remember things much more easily than normal.
====Spiritual Techniques====
Life Force Transference: Aurelius is able to use his own life force as fuel, essentially turning it into additional magical energy, qi. or simply using to enhance his physicality briefly. It was a very costly technique, requiring him to give up parts of his lifespan to do so. Even so, Aurelius was willing to do it in order to keep fighting if he had no other choice. Thanks to Aurelius nature he has a lot of life energy that can be burned and thanks to Lucifer's Soul Eater Art, Aurelius can steal life energy from others to replenish his own (though he finds doing so to be horrific and distasteful). Aurelius later learned how to do a reversal, using his qi or mana to restore some of his life force, though this would permanently remove the mana or qi he sacrificed to do so to add to his life, making it something he was not keen on doing. 
Soul Connection: Aurelius could conduct a short ritual that allowed him access to a person's soul and mental landscape. It essentially allows Aurelius' soul to enter that landscape for a variety of purposes, such as fighting off deep rooted possessions or corruption that a normal exorcism or purification spell could not deal with. The process of doing a Soul Connection leaves Aurelius vulnerable as his soul is no longer within his body, instead being within the soul of another. To activate, Aurelius must have physical contact with the target (typically one hand on their forehead and the other over their heart) and recite an incantation. It is similar to Astral Projection in theory, though is regulated to a specific target's innate domain rather than the Astral Plane or a distant area in the physical plane.
Soul Manipulation: Aurelius was able to manipulate his own soul to a certain extent. 
=====Qi Techniques=====
Qi Attacks: The ability to use qi for combat. This often projecting one's qi out of their body into a energy that can be wielded such as in beams or blasts. 
*Qi Beam: Aurelius can fire a continuous beam of pure qi from either his body or focused through an object, though it costs a great amount of energy to initiate and it quickly burns through his qi to do so. Aurelius primarily channeled the beam through his weapons. The power, size, and range of the energy beam depended on how much energy he put into the technique.
*Qi Blade: Aurelius can envelop part of his body or an item he is holding with energy that sharpens to the point of being a blade. Aurelius' blades were sharp and only added to the sharpness of any existing blade it was used on. Aurelius used this to turn his hands or feet into emergency blades, turn mundane objects into viable weapons, or to super-enhance his bladed weapons to extreme sharpness. Aurelius could also use this to create bigger blades by extending the length of an existing blade artificially. The more energy that Aurelius used to create these blades the sharper the edge was or the larger it could be.
*Qi Blast: Aurelius could fire a concentrated blast of pure energy from his body or weapon, though it costs quite a bit of qi and great control to do so. The power, size, and range of the blast depended on how much energy he put into the attack.
**Aura Explosion: Aurelius is capable of compiling his qi into an aura which he then turns into a massive and unfocused explosion. Aurelius charges the qi inside of his body for a while before releasing it in an attack that is useful both for offense and defense. How much energy it uses and how destructive it is, depends on how much Aurelius charges.
**Qi Wave: Aurelius performs a wave motion with his arm or a weapon which releases a blast of energy in a wavy arc-like fashion. It was somewhat similar to an Qi Slash but was more related to a Qi Blast.
*Qi Impact: Aurelius could create a shockwave from any impact he made. This shockwave sent anything within the radius of the impact into the air and did damage to anything in that radius. Aurelius could also use it to cushion any damage he would ordinarily take from falling. The amount of energy consumed depended on the impact (such as how long he was falling or how hard he was striking) and how big he wanted the shockwave to be.
**Qi Strike: Aurelius could use a variant of his Qi Impact with his strikes. Whether Aurelius punched, kicked, or otherwise hit something then he could use his qi to explode with that strike. This caused much more damage than a regular strike and also left a shockwave. It could also be used with a sort of time lag so that the Qi Strike to its effect sometime after the strike is completed. This makes it so that whatever strike Aurelius made left two impacts instead of a single one. How powerful Qi Strike is depends on how much energy he uses for it.
*Qi Slash: When using a bladed weapon, Aurelius is capable of firing a slash of energy from the blade that goes for a fair bit of distance. Aurelius has mastered this such that Aurelius could launch barrages of slashes without yielding. The power, sharpness, size, and range of the slash depended on how much energy Aurelius put into it.
Qi Reinforcement: Reinforcement is the ability to use qi to strengthen, or reinforce, something. Aurelius is capable of using reinforcement on himself or on objects that he is touching. This allows Aurelius to bring the best qualities of something and magnify them, pushing them to their limits. It is essentially pushing his qi into an object or body part to enhance it temporarily. At a certain level, Reinforcement also allows one to harm spiritual or spectral bodies due to the nature of qi. Unlike using mana to reinforce something, there is no danger in using qi to reinforce one's self or an object and it is much easier to do. The downside to qi reinforcement instead of mana reinforcement is that mana reinforcement has a more powerful effect and can be imbued with a variety of magical effects like imbuing one's body with elemental abilities. Aurelius often uses Qi and Mana reinforcement at the same time for double the effect. Aurelius is very skilled with all forms of Reinforcement and he is very efficient in its use and his drive allows him to reinforce things to immense levels that others could only dream of. 
*Body Reinforcement: The practice of reinforcing one's own body. Reinforcement allows someone to magnify their natural abilities, and how much they were boosted by depended on how much energy was used to do it. Masters of the technique have been able to reinforce their bodies passively, so their natural limits are ignored at all times. This works to increase strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes, and the senses. While it can be used on the entire body all at once, it can be focused on a particular body part to enhance it immensely (such as focusing on one arm for added strength or focusing on the eyes so that one can see kilometers away or see in the dark). Aurelius had masterful control of the technique. Aurelius has reached a point where he is always passively reinforcing himself on some level and his Bastion of Heroism allows him to exceed his limits to immense levels that are among the most powerful.
*Item Reinforcement: Aurelius can channel his qi into an item that he is touching to make it even better than it was before. It is primarily used on weaponry so that said weapon does more damage, is more durable, and can make use of qi attacks. Reinforcement can also be used to "scan" an object to analyze it and find any deformities, which can then be fixed (i.e. scanning a broken computer to find what's wrong and then using reinforcement to get it working again). Aurelius was also very skilled at Item Reinforcement and his drive allowed him to boost items to an extreme extent such that even the most mundane of items could become weapons of destruction, though they would almost assuredly be destroyed as a result.
Qi Suppression: Qi Suppression is the ability to suppress one's own qi so that it cannot be sensed. Aurelius was capable of suppressing his qi to the point that he had no sensible signature which was only something that only the dead usually had.
Willpower: Willpower is the ability to exert one's own will on others, taking the form of a terrifying presence or extreme pressure. The most common application of this is for intimidation, by exerting their will on someone they subject them to an immense amount of pressure that will either cause that person to back down or fail, in some extreme cases it has caused people to faint. It can be bolstered by someone's killing intent or bloodlust. It is essentially creating an aura that overwhelms others and stops them in their tracks.
*Killing Intent: Aurelius could project his killing intent onto others. This was essentially a more powerful version of Willpower which uses Aurelius' hatred, bloodlust, and desire to kill someone. Beyond being a more effective version of Willpower, Killing Intent has the chance to kill those with weaker hearts with some people being struck down with heart attacks just by a single look. Aurelius dislikes projecting his killing intent and does not use it unless he has to, though it sometimes leaks out on its own when he was highly emotional and it left a visible aura when he was truly furious.
==== Magical Techniques====
=====List of Spells=====
Alchemy: Aurelius is somewhat knowledgeable of alchemy, but it is not something that he is very skilled at. Alchemy is the most scientific of all magics (essentially being a precursor to chemistry) and requires an immense amount of knowledge and patience to correctly use. While Aurelius had the capacity to excel in alchemy and has learned some aspects of it, it was not a field he made much use of or had much knowledge in, nor was he interested in learning more beyond combat or simple things to aid in daily life. Aurelius does have some knowledge of combat alchemy which is much faster and not as reliant on extensive knowledge as regular alchemy, though Aurelius needs a medium, such as a transmutation circle, to do it. 
*Transmutation: Transmutation is the ability to take something and transmute it into something else. This is something that is very complicated to do and requires immense knowledge about the makeup of what is being transmuted without a dedicated medium. Aurelius has shown the ability to use transmutation, but he would never describe himself as being particularly proficient at using it. Aurelius can do some alterations (mostly on a few objects he has on hand) but it takes him time to complete it, aside from a few materials he knows inside and out (such as swords). Aurelius typically uses either his glyphs as magic circles or the runes on gauntlets to act as transmutation circles which greatly simplifies the process. Aurelius often uses his transmutation skills with his item projection magic.
*Fusion: Fusion is the ability to fuse two or more objects together. It is a relatively simple thing to do and Aurelius has been shown to use it to combine weapons or tools together, usually in combination with projection magic. Aurelius could also theoretically combine living beings together and create chimeras, though he has never done it and refuses to entertain the idea.
*Potion Brewing: Aurelius is capable of creating potions for a variety of different status effects. Aurelius potions tend to be of average quality and he doesn't make much use of this skill, preferring to leave it to others who were more practiced.
Astral Projection: Aurelius could project his astral form away from his body both allowing him to enter the astral plane and temporarily separate his spirit from his body. This essentially turns Aurelius into a ghost or spirit for a limited time, though it leaves his body vulnerable.
Banishment: Aurelius is capable of using a spell to banish organisms and objects to other locations such as other dimensions (i.e. sending a demon back to hell). It took an immense amount of mana and concentration, as it required Aurelius to essentially open a portal to another dimension and throw his target into it. Because of its cost, Aurelius needed to restrain his target somehow lest they manage to avoid being banished.
Binding: Aurelius is capable of using a spell to bind a person or object with magic. Aurelius must consciously keep binding them and it lasts for as long as he is pumping mana into them. Those with a high enough will, strength, or magic resistance will simply break free after enough time or effort. It is a dedicated spell that is faster to use than a mana tether, but Aurelius has less control over it.
Bounded Field: Bounded Fields are a type of spell where a magical effect is placed in an area of effect. The area of effect and how long they lasted depended on the amount of magical energy used and the composition of the field. 
*Anti-Magic Field: Similar to how he could expand his innate magic resistance, Aurelius could lay down a bounded field that negated most magic within the specified area.
*Alarm: Aurelius is capable of setting down a bounded field that acts as a sort of burglar alarm that warns him if someone has entered the specified area. This alarm can either make a noise or be silent such that only Aurelius can hear it.
*Barrier: Aurelius is capable of laying down a barrier that blocks people, objects, or magic spells from passing it unless they have a counter-spell or high enough magic resistance.
*Repellants: Aurelius is capable of laying down bounded fields that do not harm someone but give them a sense of unease or immense pressure that causes them to avoid the area affected.
*Security: Aurelius is capable of laying down a bounded field that attacks anything within it. The most common way that Aurelius does this is by laying down a field that is connected to his projection magic, anything that is within the area of effect is skewered by a barrage of swords, spears, knives, and axes. He had other options like simply having offensive elemental magic or blasts of energy.
*Warp: Aurelius could place bounded fields in certain areas which he always wanted to reach. Aurelius could then teleport to that area instantaneously, as well as bring anyone he wanted with him. Aurelius could leave as many warps as he wished. Aurelius usually had to plant down a sigil, rune, or magic circle in the area he wants to warp to in order for it worked.
*Pocket Dimension: Aurelius can lay a sort of pocket dimension over a piece of reality. Unlike his Soulscape manifestation, Aurelius does not have control of it and does not get a boost from it. It is simply overlaying an area that should not naturally be where it is. This takes an immense amount of mana and is draining to do, but once set it will sustain itself and will remain unless Aurelius either calls it off or someone else destroys it. 
**Building Creation: Aurelius could create a building by making a Pocket Dimension Bounded Field. Aurelius can use this to create a mobile base without having to waste time actually building one. Aurelius usually creates a combination of Camelot and the Palace of Versailles.
Counter Spell: A counter spell is a type of spell that reverses the effect of another spell, though its effectiveness is dependent on how much magical energy was used to power to counter spell and how much mana was placed into the spell being countered.
*Spell Reversal: A spell reversal is a type of spell that does not negate a spell but instead reverses it back at the original caster. How much magical energy is consumed to do so depends on the spell that is being reflected and the concentration that Aurelius uses for it.
Demonic Magic: As he is part demon, Aurelius could use and emit demonic or black magic naturally without having to make a pact with a demon, god, or other being. Beyond adding to his mana reserves, it also allowed Aurelius access to several spells and abilities unique to this kind of magic. Since Aurelius possesses the soul of Lucifer, Aurelius' black magic is great in both quantity and quality. Because of Aurelius' nature he is immune to the negative effects that using black magic should have on humans with the repercussions either not applying to him or being kept to the bare minimum (i.e. instead of killing him or disfiguring him for life, he only takes damage that he can recover from eventually, though he can theoretically be killed by using too much demonic magic too fast before he recovers).
*Blood Magic: Aurelius was able to use blood magic, including the ability to manipulate his own blood and the blood others. While blood magic does not necessarily have to be black magic, it is often considered such and most blood magic users practice it, including Aurelius. Blood (like other bodily fluids) is a natural carrier for mana and qi, making it very useful to use for creating magical circles, making pacts, or completing magical rituals.

*Dark Miasma: Aurelius can use a dark energy known as Miasma that is common to demonic entities. This energy takes many forms and can be used for a variety of purposes. Aurelius can use this miasma to create objects, as weapons to attack, create subservient demons, envelop parts of his body with the darkness for different purposes similar to shapeshifting, become one with darkness allowing him to traverse shadows or teleport, or easily drain the life or reap the souls of his targets. Unlike regular shadows which are dispelled by light, this darkness persists even in the face of holy light. Thanks to the presence of Lucifer's Drive, Prince of Darkness, this ability is enhanced to incredibly levels that are beyond what other Demons or even Satans are capable of using, making it so that Aurelius not only controls this substance but is the very Dark miasma in a physical form.
**Black Chains: Aurelius can create multiple demonic chains which can be used as whips or restraints.
**Black Tendrils: Aurelius creates multiple tendrils which can be used as whips, tethers, or piercing weapons. Aurelius has also turned these tendrils into snake like beings with them biting at anything that he lashes out at.
**Corruption: Aurelius can use his Dark Miasma to corrupt people or objects for a limited time. This gives Aurelius a measure of control over the things he corrupts and can make things that he is holding more lethal. Aurelius can also use this corruption to drain the lifeforce of people or destroy objects that are afflicted by it, essentially corroding or poisoning whatever is being corrupted from the inside.
**Dark Cutting Wave: Aurelius launches waves of black energy in the form of several slashes, large clawed hands, and the heads of demonic beasts with sharp fangs that move across the ground that attack anyone standing on the ground. Aurelius can also fire the slashes into the air and they will travel until they hit something or Aurelius calls them off.
**Dark Mist: Aurelius could emit a dark mist from his body. This smoke could be used to obscure him, but it could also be made to be poisonous when it is inhaled by someone. Aurelius could extend the distance the mist enveloped, being able to cover larger areas. The larger the distance the smoke covers, the less powerful the poison smoke is. The mist is very thick and no matter how far it is extended, it is almost impossible to see through it.
**Dark Spikes: Aurelius emits several spikes of dark energy either on his body or the ground in front of him. Beyond offense, Aurelius can cause spikes to grow from all over his body for defensive purposes.
**Demon Creation: Aurelius can create demons from his miasma which are utterly subservient to him.
**Shadow Envelopment: Aurelius can use the dark miasma he creates to envelop parts of body for different purposes and it strengthen his attacks.
***Abyss Walker: Aurelius can become one with the shadows, allowing him to travel within dark areas freely. Aurelius cannot be harmed while inside a shadow and if the shadow is illuminated by light, he will simply pop out of the shadow
***Dark Claw: Aurelius can envelop his arms with the dark miasma which turns into a large black and red claw. This claw can be used to carve and can shift sizes from as small as his regular arm to a massive claw that carves through everything and leaves trails of dark miasma.
***Dark Striker: Aurelius envelops his fist, foot, or weapon with dark miasma and lunges in for a powerful strike that sends his target flying backwards with a dark explosion.
***Demon Eater: Aurelius summons the head of a hellhound-like beast which bursts out from the shadows which bites at anything that Aurelius sends it after. This hellhound head bites down and begins to maul its target before eventually letting go and returning to the darkness. While it could come from any area of shadow or darkness, Aurelius could also create a small portal of darkness on his body such as from his chest or hands which the hellhound could emerge from.
***
*Demonic Lightning: Aurelius can conjure and manipulate demonic lightning.
* Hellfire: Aurelius can conjure and manipulate hellfire. These flames do not act as regular fire, as they can't be extinguished through normal means and they scorch the soul of their target. Hellfire does more damage depending on how sinful their target is, though unlike holy fire it will hurt the physical body no matter what. Aurelius can shoot fireballs, streams of fire, massive blasts of flames, or even create limited constructs like fire blades or whips. All of Aurelius' normal fire spells transferred over to this skillset, though with hellfire properties instead of normal magic fire.
*Life Force Stealing: Aurelius could drain the life force from people with a touch, and could use that stolen life force to heal himself. Despite having the option, Aurelius rarely uses it aside from certain situations or when he is forced to. Aurelius possessed the Art Soul Eater thanks to Lucifer which essentially trumped this spell, rendering it redundant.
*Necromancy: Aurelius was capable of performing necromancy black magic that dealt with death. This was a wide arrange of magic that had different properties, but was dark in nature. This did not deal with resurrecting the dead fully which could be done either through holy magic and if done with demonic magic has disastrous consequences on the person being resurrected (such as causing them to turn into a demon themself, damaging or even destroying their soul, or simply causing them insanity). Some aspects of necromancy are less dark than others. Because of the nature of Necromancy and Aurelius' respect for the dead, he avoids it on principle.
**Spirit Communion: Aurelius could summon a spirit from the afterlife temporarily in order to speak with them, however, it must either be short enough to go beyond the notice of rulers of the dead or have permission from those rulers to speak to them.
**Undead Creation: Aurelius is able to raise the dead in forms such as zombies, skeletons, or other forms of lesser undead, though this is only reanimating their corpses and is not true resurrection. Aurelius could raise the dead of humans, demi-humans such as Beast-kin, elves, and dwarves, animals, and even monsters. Aurelius' undead are subservient to him and follow his orders completely, however, another mage can fight him for control over them and the stronger mage will have them under their thrall. How intelligent the undead are depends on the dead being resurrected (an undead animal will never be more intelligent than an animal for example), but they are usually only able to do basic functions like attacking with basic weapons poorly. Aurelius can instantly kill any undead under his thrall at will, with them simply dropping dead if he so wishes. Aurelius never uses this spell other than to combat other necromancers by taking away their minions from them, allowing him to eliminate them quickly.
Draconic Magic: Aurelius had access to the unique magical energies of dragons. This functionally added to his mana pool and allowed him to use dragon spells and other magics. As Aurelius' draconic element was light, his light magic was particularly powerful.
*Draconic Light: Aurelius' Draconic Element was Light. This draconic light was essentially holy light on overdrive having the benefits of draconic magic to boost its ability.
Duplication: Aurelius can create a double of something if he concentrates hard enough and uses the requisite amount of mana. Aurelius must also have a catalyst to serve as a focus point to be duplicated in the first place. Aurelius can only duplicate ten different objects at a time, and the more he did the less time they would last.
* Self-Duplication: Aurelius can duplicate himself several times over, essentially creating magical clones of himself which share a hive mind. The limit to how many he can create is unknown, however, his power is halved for each clone he makes to the point that making dozens of clones will leave each duplicate extremely weak and only able to take a single blow before disappearing. If the prime Aurelius takes too much damage then the spell will be undone to prevent himself from dying. Because of these drawbacks, Self-Duplication is almost useless outside of a few specific situations.
Elemental Magic: Aurelius could use elemental magic, having affinity with several elements. This allows Aurelius to generate and manipulate the elements to a certain extent. Aurelius is also able to combine several elements for different uses or even create new elements through that combination.
*Earth Magic: Aurelius can manipulate the earth around him.
**Boulder: Aurelius rips a large boulder from the ground and throws it telepathically at his target at high speed.
**Earth Constructs: Aurelius could create constructs from the Earth from weapons such as swords or spears, pieces of armor, or other items. While not as effective as an actual item which it is mimicking, it could still be very effective especially for clubs or other bludgeons.
**Earth Spikes: Aurelius creates spikes from the earth which impale whatever it is targeted at. These can either be launched through the air or be created from the ground.
**Meteor Fall: Aurelius summons small meteors to crash around him.
**Quicksand: Aurelius opens up the ground beneath his target, swallowing them up and launching them out later. Aurelius could use this capture targets or move them to another location. Aurelius could do the same for himself, sending himself underground and moving to another place before emerging.
**Sandstorm: Aurelius creates a storm of sand which obscures the area around him.
**Shockwave: Aurelius can use his magic to create shockwaves on the ground which harm anyone hit by them and creates fissures around him. While Aurelius can use magic to do it and it is more effectively with magic, Aurelius is strong enough to simply slam his fist, foot, or weapon into the ground to achieve the same effect.
***Earth Splitter: Aurelius hits the ground in front of him, creating a fissure in front of him that cleaves the ground in two. While Aurelius can use his magic to achieve this, he is strong enough to do it with pure force.
***Earthquake: Charging his energy in his fist or foot, Aurelius then slams it into the ground. Beyond the powerful shockwaves, the force causes the ground far from Aurelius to jut up and hit anything that was standing where he was aiming it.
***Shockwave Slash: Aurelius charges his energy for a second before slashing his weapon across the ground, causing a shockwave that travels across the ground in a line and harms anyone hit by it.
*Fire Magic: Aurelius can create and manipulate fire. Depending on how much mana and how hot the flames were the colors of the fire would change typically being either reddish-orange or blue. Aurelius' greatest affinity was with fire and it was the element he used the most. Aurelius could also manipulate fire around him, however, it was not as easy to control as the fire he made even if it cost much less mana. 
**Eruption: Using the combined fire magic of himself and his weapons, Aurelius channels his power for a few seconds before slamming his weapon or fist into the ground. This causes a small explosion around him and creates a large shockwave that damages anyone around him.
**Explosion: Aurelius creates a fiery explosion either by shooting a blast which expands into an explosion or by casting a spell at a specific area for the same effect. How powerful and big the explosion was depended on how much mana he put into it. Aurelius could create explosions so powerful that it outpaced the Tsar Bomba in pure destruction, however, Aurelius would injure himself greatly performing it.
***Fireworks: Aurelius was able to create fireworks from his mana. While not particularly effective as a projectile, it could be used for such purpose. Aurelius mainly used it to entertain others (such as small children), creating a small light show or fireworks display from his mana for fun.
**Fireball: Aurelius could fire fireballs from his body (usually his hands), from his weapons, or from his glyphs. These fireball could range greatly from small blasts he fired from his fingers or massive ones which were closer to high power bombs than a single fireball, depending on how much he focused his mana and how long he charged them. 
***Firebeam: Aurelius could fire concentrated beams and waves of fire in streams similar to a flamethrower or energy wave. Aurelius could fire them from his hands, weapons, or through his glyphs. How powerful these beams were depends on how much mana he put into them and how long he charged.
**Fire Breath: Aurelius could focus fire through his mouth and breathe out fire like a dragon. This can be several fireballs or a continuous stream like a flamethrower.
**Flame Constructs: Aurelius could create constructs of pure fire which he could wield as normal items. Aurelius normally made weapons such as swords, spears, knives, and whips in combat. While as far as mimicking the items in question they were not particularly of good quality, the focused flames and psychological impact did make them quite useful.
***Flaming Dragon: Aurelius creates a large dragon out of fire and launches it forward as a projectile.
** Fire Emission: Aurelius could cause his body to emit an intense, burning heat that melted most things around him. He was essentially enveloped in a forcefield made of fire. It also had the effect of making him immune to the cold as his internal heat allowed him to ignore its effects. This heat could not be detected by technology or others unless Aurelius deliberately allowed it to happen.
***Flaming Shield: Aurelius was able to create a spherical shield around himself of pure flames acting to defend himself and harm anyone that comes into contact with it. Aurelius could also burst the shield, causing the flames to expel outwards in a wave of fire.
** Fire Resistance: Aurelius had a near immunity to fire, though he could still feel heat normally and supernatural fire still affected him.
**Flame Dash: Flame Dash was a spell that allowed Aurelius envelop himself in a massive shield of fire and charge forward at extremely fast speeds, essentially turning himself into a giant, flying fireball that incinerated anything in his way. This fire could either be holy fire or demonic fire both of which burned the soul and could not be countered by water.
**Flame Wave: Aurelius releases a wave of fire around him, with the fire taking the form of a circular wall that spreads out. Aurelius often used it to deal with hordes of enemies, to create space between him and his opponent, or when landing to simultaneously attack and cushion his fall at the same time.
**Flaming Star: Using the combined fire magic of himself and his weapons, Aurelius creates a massive blast of fire in the area around himself, essentially causing an explosion around him.
**Jet Fire: Aurelius conjures large jets of flame from his hands and feet. These allow Aurelius to fly or boost his speed, while also scorching anything that touches these flames. Aurelius often uses it to enhance his speed and natural flight to extreme levels or to give his kicks and punches extra damage whether by burning someone or giving himself more force.
**Nova Flame: Aurelius fires a massive blast of extremely hot fire as hot as the center of the sun that obliterates anything it is targeting. Aurelius could either fire it around him, essentially being a massive explosion around him, or firing it as a massive beam of fire from his hands, glyphs, or weapons. While it was extremely powerful to the point that almost nothing could survive being incinerated by its flames, it took a lot out of Aurelius even with Bastion of Heroism and would cause him to fall unconscious after using.
**Rainbow Fire: Aurelius creates bursts of multi-colored fire. While it acted as normal magic fire, the rainbow flames was more so for aesthetics and entertainment than anything else.
**Scorching Touch: Aurelius can superheat an object by touch at extremely hot temperatures. How hot Aurelius touch can be depends on how much mana he expends, but it can be hot enough to turn water into steam, sand into glass, steel into molten slag, or burn people into ashes with a simple touch. Aurelius can use any part of his body to burn things, though he prefers using his hands.
***Immolation: Aurelius grabs onto his opponents and then releases a charge of potent fire magic, instantly burning them to death and leaving nothing but ashes behind. It was an extremely powerful and deadly attack that could only be used in certain situations.
*Ice Magic: Aurelius is capable of creating and manipulating ice to freeze things, create constructs, and other similar applications. Aurelius had the greatest control over the ice and frost he created, however, he could manipulate them when they were naturally occurring which saved on mana. Aurelius could also freeze water around him or even the molecules of water in the air to dampen the costs.
** Flash Freeze
** Frost Resistance: Aurelius had a near immunity to frost, though he could still feel the cold normally and supernatural frost could still affect him, even if it was reduced.
** Frozen Ground: Aurelius could freeze the ground around him, making it very hard to maneuver over and slippery. 
**Ice Breath: Aurelius could focus his ice magic through his mouth and breathe out frost like a dragon. This can be several balls of ice/frost or a continuous stream.
**Ice Constructs: Aurelius can create constructs out of ice for a variety of purposes.
***Frostbite: Aurelius summons the head of a wolf or dragon made of ice which bites his opponent and mauls them.
***Ice Slide: Aurelius creates a platform of ice which allows him to ride it like a board at fast speeds.
*** Ice Spike: Aurelius summons multiple spikes of ice similar to icicles to impale his target. Aurelius can summon these spikes from the ground, launch them as projectiles from his hands or glyphs, or other methods.
***Ice Weapons: Aurelius can create various weapons of ice, with the only limit being his imagination. Aurelius most often creates daggers, swords, or javelins which he throws as projectiles, though he sometimes uses them as melee weapons. Aurelius has also created gauntlets or pieces of armor made of ice for extra defense and attack power. They are very fragile and typically only single use, though he could strengthen them for multiple use but even still they were not as effective as legitimate weapons. Thanks to their magical nature they can be used to freeze their target once they make contact with something.
**Ice Emission: Aurelius could force his body to emit a great coldness that froze most things around him. Aurelius was essentially enveloped in a forcefield made of ice. It also had the effect of making him immune to the heat as his internal coldness allowed him to ignore its effects. This cold could not be detected by technology or others unless Aurelius deliberately allowed it to happen.
**Shatter Ice: Aurelius focuses all his ice magic in his hand and then grabs onto his target, freezing it utterly from both the inside and out. Aurelius then shatters the target, obliterating it and instantly killing anyone who is afflicted.
**Snow Blind: Aurelius creates a small scale snowstorm to decrease visibility around him.
*Light Magic: Aurelius can create and manipulate light whether he creates it with mana or manipulating the natural light around him.
**Blinding Blast: Aurelius summons a blindingly bright blast of light from his body (mostly his hands or eyes) which he aims at his opponents eyes to blind them temporarily. It essentially acts a magical flashbang.
**Hardlight: Aurelius can create physical constructs made of light such as weapons, shields, or other objects.
**Light Emission: Aurelius could emit light from his body at will, primarily to illuminate areas around him. 
*** Light Orb: Aurelius was able to create a small orb of light or multiple orbs that surrounded him or an area of choosing to illuminate the area.
* Lightning Magic: Aurelius can create and manipulate lightning and electricity for a variety of purposes. Aurelius' lightning can be blue, yellow, or red depending on what kind he is using. While Aurelius could manipulate natural electricity at a lower mana cost, it was more effective for him to simply create lightning through magic. Aurelius could also manipulate and amplify his own bio-electricity.
**Electric Crown: Aurelius creates blasts of electricity between his hands and raises them above his head. Channeling his electricity as much as he can, Aurelius releases the spell causing massive lightning strikes to emanate from them and electrify anything in the nearby area.
**Electro-Fist: Aurelius uses his lightning magic to charge his body with electricity and then strikes, imbuing his blows with electricity. Despite the name, Aurelius can imbue more than just his hands with electricity, with him being able to do so with any part of his body and his weapons.
**Electric Emission: Aurelius could cause his body to emit volts of electricity that shocked most things around him. He was essentially enveloped in a forcefield made of electricity.
***Electro Shield: Aurelius creates an electrical aura shield around his body, protecting him from damage and electrocuting anything came near him.
** Fast as Lighting: Aurelius essentially transforms himself into a living lightning bolt and fires himself in a direction both harming whatever is in his way and allowing him to move at extremely fast speeds, though he can't change direction once he launches himself. Aurelius could string together the spell so he bounced off multiple objects or surfaces at rapid speed.
** Lightning Bolt: Aurelius could fire a bolt of electricity at a target for immense damage.
***Lightning Blast 
***Lightning Cannon: Aurelius charges electric magic in his index and middle fingers or from the tip of his sword or spear. After charging enough, Aurelius shoots the lightning at his target. How powerful the blast is depends on how much he charged it.
***Electro Death-Ball: Aurelius summons a ball of electricity into his hand and maintains it, causing it to become extremely powerful. Aurelius then rushed to his target and then rams the hand holding the ball into them, causing both an explosion and causing the ball to pierce into the target.
**Lightning Redirection: Aurelius is able to redirect lightning or electricity that is fired at him, whether it is magical in nature or a natural bolt of lightning aimed at him. Aurelius channels the lightning in his body then redirects it toward a new target. It was extremely hard and painful to do, but is resulted in him not being as damaged as he would be and allows him to fire lightning back at his opponent.
**Lightning Rod: Aurelius calls down a bolt of lightning from the heavens which strikes his location, though leaves him unharmed.
***Lightning Rod Fire: Aurelius raises his weapon in the air and calls down a bolt of lightning to strike it. Aurelius then aims and fires the bolt at a target.
**Jolting Heart: Aurelius channels electricity into his hand and then comes into contact with his opponent's chest, sending the electricity to their heart. This can be used to either stop their heart and restart it, acting as defibrillator.
* Plant Magic: Aurelius can create and manipulate plant life. If Aurelius wishes, simply treading on the ground can cause plants (mostly beautiful flowers) to bloom. Aurelius' blood has the same effect if it is spilled on the ground. Aurelius has also used this magic to create bouquets of flowers.
**Bouquet: Aurelius instantly creates a flower or bouquet of flowers out of thin air. Aurelius mostly used this to create gifts for his loved ones. Aurelius can only create flowers that he has seen before.
**Field of Flowers: Aurelius can create a field of flowers around him or at a targeted area. Aurelius can only create flowers that he has seen before.
**Quick Grow: By infusing his mana into a plant, Aurelius can cause it grow or mature much faster. How much faster depends on how much mana he pours into it.
*Water Magic: Aurelius can create blasts and globules of water. Aurelius can also manipulate the water that is around him but, it is more effective to generate water with magic as it gives him more control and power over it even if it costs more mana. Aurelius could also use the moisture in the air to create water to use. Aurelius can not manipulate the water that is in his or another person's body. 
**Flash Flood: Using his water magic and the runes on his weapons Aurelius drives his sword or spear into the ground, creating torrents of water to blast out of the ground and flood the area.
**Jet Water: Aurelius focuses water magic in his hand or magic circle and constricts it. This compresses the water immensely and launches it forward, cutting through everything it hits.
**Rainfall: Aurelius was able to create a rainstorm through casting a spell.
**Surf: When in the water, Aurelius was able to create a large wave of water he rode. While he often used his shield as a surfboard, he could also use his Water Walking to simply stand on the wave and surf that way.
***Surf Crash: While on land, Aurelius creates an artificial wave and ride its, crashing into his opponents.
**Tsunami: When near a suitably large enough body of water, Aurelius could create a tsunami to crash down on his chosen targets.
**Water Breathing: Aurelius could breath in water, as though it was regular air. Any water that entered his lungs was transformed into regular air that he could breath. This only worked for liquids, and did not work for vacuums like space.
**Water Bullets: Aurelius causes a small scale rain shower then fires the water droplets forward at the speeds of bullets, using mana to harden them into viable weapons.
***Water Cannon: Aurelius creates a rain shower with the water droplets conglomerating into massive globes of water similar to cannonballs, falling from the sky.
**Water Constructs: Aurelius could create constructs made out of water. 
*** Water Whip: Aurelius could crete whips from water which struck at anything Aurelius directed it to.
*** Water Limbs: Aurelius was able to create limbs from water, such as grasping hands which pulled his targets underneath.
**Water Walking: Aurelius could walk, run, stand, and lay on water as though it were solid ground. It did not expend any mana to use, only necessitating Aurelius to send magical energy to the body part touching the water to use. While this initially needed him to concentrate heavily, he later learned to do it on reflex allowing him to focus on other matters while using the spell passively. Even if the water was stormy or the waves were wild, Aurelius could simply walk on it like ground. Aurelius could shut off the spell any time he wished in order to swim or dive. It did nothing to prevent him from getting wet.
**Water Wave: Aurelius fires off a wave of water in a circle around him that is extremely focused, cutting apart anything in its way.
**Whirlpool: Aurelius creates a whirlpool which sucks into his target, either leaving them to drown or firing them into the air only to come crashing down.
*Wind Magic: Aurelius is capable of creating gusts of wind and manipulating the wind that he creates freely.
**Fog of War: Aurelius creates a thick fog which obscures the area around him, making it very hard, if not impossible to see. 
**Razor Wind: Aurelius fires off blasts of wind that were sharp and acted as crescent-shaped blades. This razor wind was invisible to the naked eye, however, it could be sensed either through mana, intuition, or feeling vibrations in the air. While it was most effective with using mana and he could simply cast a spell to use it that way, Aurelius also knew a variant where he swung a bladed weapon hard enough to cause the same effect without using his mana. This variant cost nothing Aurelius' stamina and was a useful ranged attack when Aurelius had no other option.
***Wind Drill: Aurelius could create a variant of Razor Wind in the shape of a drill rather than a crescent blade. Rather than simply slicing or carving his target, it impales and begins to dig into them, causing more damage but only effects a specific point. Similar to Razor Wind, Aurelius could use a manaless version by thrusting his weapon forward hard enough.
**Super Breath: Using his wind magic, Aurelius could blow out massive gusts of wind from his mouth.
**Tornado Blaster: Using the combined wind magic of himself and his weapons Aurelius creates a massive tornado that splits into smaller tornadoes which do immense damage.
**Wind Fall: Aurelius manipulates the wind around him to slow his fall, essentially allowing him to float for a short period.
**Wind Hammer: Using the combined wind magic of himself and his weapons, Aurelius creates a massive gale of razor wind that is as powerful as a jet engine. This can be used to send everything flying away or to rocket him forward.
**Wind Spiral Ball: Aurelius creates a sphere of spiraling wind in his hand which he either fires or charges to grind it against his target.
**Wind Strike: Aurelius caused a powerful gust of wind to emanate from the force of his strikes. While not more powerful than a punch (or even a punch at full strength when he actually contacted his target) it did push his opponent far. Aurelius didn't actually need to use mana to use this, with the force of his punches being enough, however, using mana made it much more effective. While not the most powerful of attacks, it was rather useful in a pinch.
Enchantments: Aurelius can cast enchantments on himself, objects, or others to enhance or weaken them. The amount of time and their effectiveness depended on how much mana he expended casting it and what his intentions were. They could be positive or negative and were considered neutral magic. 
*Speed: Aurelius can put an enchantment on others to make them faster than they were normally.
*Strengthen
Familiars: Aurelius is capable of summoning and utilizing various familiars for different purposes. Aurelius shared his senses with his familiars. A few of Aurelius' familiars were fully sapient beings and as such, Aurelius treated them as employees and they were fully free to refuse his summons at any time or null the contract if they so wished. 
*Altrius: Altrius is a giant living sword that Aurelius summoned as a familiar. Altrius is 9 feet long and a foot wide, weighing about 300 lbs. Altrius can fly and attack on his own, as he is living and actually quite intelligent (being something of a warrior poet) and is fully sapient (though he lacks the kind of body that can utilize his sapience). Altrius is indestructible and elemental in nature, specifically being a holy sword. Altrius mostly fights on his own, but Aurelius is strong enough to swing him around (though Altrius is so big that Aurelius has no choice but to use both hands to be close to accurate). Altrius can take a human form, that is an older but muscular man in knight's armor. Aurelius and Altrius are good friends and Altrius is something of a mentor to Aurelius.
*Artos: Artos is a giant bear that Aurelius defeated and made a familiar contract with. Artos is massive in size, being eight feet tall at the shoulder and weighing 2000 lbs.
*Atrocity: Atrocity is a giant, living spear that Aurelius summoned as a familiar. Atrocity is 25 feet long and weighs about 200 lbs. Atrocity can fly and attack on her own, as she is living and fully sapient. Despite her intelligence, Atrocity is bloodthirsty and lives for battle, needing to be kept on a leash at all times lest she go make battle on her own. Atrocity is indestructible and elemental in nature, specifically being a demonic spear. Atrocity mostly fights on her own, but Aurelius is strong enough to swing her around (though she is so big that Aurelius has no choice but to use both hands to be close to accurate). While Atrocity respects Aurelius as a warrior and thinks of him as a good friend, she finds him too chivalrous and pacifistic to truly use her well. Whenever Aurelius does manage to wield her, Atrocity calms down much more and is somewhat subserviently (though still wild in personality and bloodthirsty). Atrocity can take a human form, that is a young but tall and muscular warrior woman with many battle scars.
*Blaiddyd: Blaiddyd was a giant, white wolf that Aurelius defeated and made a familiar contract with. Blaiddyd could in turn summon an entire pack of wolves (about 15 wolves in total) to fight alongside him or for tracking. Blaiddyd was named after the king in Welsh mythology but is not related to that figure.
*Château Marie: Château Marie was a moving fortress that Aurelius owned and shared with Squad Alpha. It functioned more so as a familiar than an object. It was essentially a massive castle that was capable of flight with it becoming a massive airship, though it also had a form that made it suitable as a naval ship. Squad Alpha all used it, though technically Aurelius was the one who was contracted to it. It was filled with many advanced golems that acted as guards, crew, and servants. It was a giant castle that had immense amount of room that was enough to host several armies, great amounts of resources and supplies to last a century without resupply, and enough firepower to rival the best airships that any nation's military could produce. Technically the castle was alive and it's will often took the form of the castle's housekeeper and namesake, Marie. The inside of the Château could shift dramatically from a simple castle interior to a massive labyrinth that is almost impossible to navigate at the will of Marie.
*Ezio: Ezio is a large eagle that Aurelius summoned.
*Faith: Faith is the name of Aurelius' horse, though technically she was part Fairy. Aurelius raised Faith since he was young and she was a gift from his grandfather Arthur, being the filly of his mare Llamrei. As Faith was a Fae, she was much more powerful than a regular horse. Faith was able to keep track of most vehicles and even surpass them if push came to shove and could even grow wings to fly. While they couldn't literally speak to one another, Aurelius could easily tell what Faith wanted/needed and spoke to her like she was a person (much to the confusion of the people around him), similarly Faith could understand Aurelius perfectly and knew when he was needed. It was almost like a telepathic and emotional connection. Faith was very intelligent and attached to the Lyons family, refusing to be ridden by anyone except Aurelius, his family, or his friends. That being said, Faith was a mischievous horse that got satisfaction from causing Aurelius inconveniences (though she acted like an angel when with his family or friends, much to Aurelius' annoyance). However, in tough situations, Faith always pulled through and acted seriously.
*Lucifer
*Regulus: Regulus was a giant lion that Aurelius defeated and made a familiar contract with. Aurelius faced Regulus in Avalon while he was training there with grandfather and grandmother when he was 15, though Regulus was practically still a cub then. Aurelius felt mercy for Regulus and so made a familiar contract with him rather than kill him, and Regulus has served Aurelius faithfully as a companion and pet ever since.
*Saint Michael
*Serena: Serena is a fairy whose primary form is that of a water dragon, though she prefers to take the form of a young woman and she also often takes the form of a Lamia. She serves as one of Aurelius' retainers and is also one of his squires. Serena's true form is that of a blue dragon that is large enough to be ridden by at least four people (though she is very particular about who gets to ride her). Serena greatly admires Aurelius, wishing to be a knight like him. Serena has an obvious massive crush on Aurelius, but she denies any such claim and Aurelius is completely unaware of it. As she is fully sapient, her contract makes it clear she is fully autonomous and can reject Aurelius' summons or even break off the contract whenever she wishes. While she has a home in Avalon, she prefers living with Aurelius and his family (which she is considered part of) and acts as a close family friend.
*Sirius: Sirius was a large hunting dog that Aurelius owned and one of the Lyons family pets. While the Lyons family had many dogs who lived with them and several were trained as hunting companions and monster hunters, Sirius was a dog that Aurelius trained himself and is his personal companion.
Feather Landing: Aurelius could use his magic to ensure that whatever landing he had was safe and had no impact. Even if he was falling from great heights such as from orbit, as long as he used his magic he would land as though it was barely a short hop.
Flight: Aurelius could use his magic to fly or levitate. The amount of mana it took depended on the speed and concentration. Aurelius could use it simply to hover in place or soar through the air at extreme speeds, even being able to traverse the planet in less than a day though this drained his mana at extremely fast speeds. While he could just use his magic for flight, Aurelius prefered to simply summon his Angel or Demon wings as they cast no magic to use or summon either Faith or his chariot as they were both faster than he was.
Geis: Aurelius is capable of creating a Geis, a sort of curse/blessing that takes the form of an agreement or vow. The terms of a Geis cannot be broken without severe repercussions such as pain or death.
Glyphs: Aurelius was capable of creating glyphs around him in the form of magic circles. These glyphs could be used as shields or platforms and could be used to assist his magic use by focusing it more, acting as magical circles. When used as magic circles the glyphs focus magic to be used to empower or depower anyone who is in them, to teleport, or to launch magical energy offensively.
Golem Creation: Aurelius could create Golems using his magic. Unlike familiars or homunculi, Golems were essentially simple automatons made of earth, but they were useful for defense and could carry out simple tasks. Aurelius was not very good at this and needed a lot of preparation time to create many. 
*Guardian Knights: Aurelius' unique brand of Golems was his Guardian Knights. They were essentially walking suits of armor that acted as knights and did simple tasks. As they were programmed to be knights, they have more combat prowess and are slightly smarter than average Golem's but are not on the level of a homunculus. Aurelius' Guardian Knights were armed with swords, spears, axes, maces, war hammers, daggers, and bows and arrows. Aurelius typically needed an hour or two to create at least 10.
Hair Magic: Aurelius was aware of using his hair for magic. Like bodily fluid, hair was a natural conduit for magical energy and thus could be used for rituals. While others are able to manipulate their hair completely, being able to shape shift it, use it as additional limbs, or give it different properties, Aurelius only knew how to use hair for rituals or how to accelerate his hair growth (which was naturally faster than a normal person's anyway). Aurelius had no interest in learning more about hair magic and he kept his hair long out of personal preference rather than for magical purposes.
Healing Magic: Aurelius had an extremely strong affinity for Healing Magic. Aurelius can heal all minor injuries and diseases both for himself and others without limit. Major injuries take more time but Aurelius heals them better than most others with medical magic. Even if someone is near death, as long as Aurelius has enough mana he can save them from death, at least temporarily. Aurelius can even reattach lost limbs or body parts, though only within 6 minutes of the loss without going into his higher forms of power. Aurelius can not completely remove extremely serious illnesses like cancer or HIV without removing his restraints, though he can mitigate their effects for others to a great extent. Aurelius could also not heal things like blindness, deafness, or similar conditions, especially if someone was born with those conditions unless he used his greater powers. Aurelius has an extreme affinity with such magic and is considered an expert on it, though he was outclassed by many others, including Eleanora and his aunt Bridget. 
*Healing Hands: The most common and most effective way of healing was by Aurelius placing his hands on an injured and diseased person. How effective this was depended on where Aurelius was touching them with it being most potent if Aurelius was touching the afflicted area directly, though this was focused heavily on that specific area. It was also incredibly potent if he placed his hands over his target's heart which would cause the healing mana to circulate through the entire body. Technically, Aurelius doesn't actually need to be touching someone to heal them, though it loses effectiveness if he does not actually lay his hands on someone. While this method was incredibly potent, it took time for its benefits to take place. It was the only magic that Aurelius knew that could reattach lost limbs, though he had to act immediately or else he would be unable to do so. Aurelius can also not heal scars as they are already healed wounds, though it could cause scars to fade.
*Healing Field: Aurelius could create a field of effect where anyone within that field would be healed. It was about 30-feet in diameter and the farther away someone was from him the less effective the spell was. Conversely, the closer that someone was to him then the more effective the spell was. Aurelius could not discriminate between the people within the field, anyone within the area of effect will be healed even if they are enemies.
*Long Range Healing Spell: Aurelius could launch healing magic at long range or even at multiple targets. This can be a single blast similar to a mana blast or a concentrated beam. It was not as effective as healing hands, though it was still very effective. The farther away a target was, the less potent the healing spell was. The more targets there are for the spell, the less effective it was at healing on an individual basis. While Healing Hands was the most potent, this spell had the most useability as it could be used in a variety of different situations and distances which were limited only by his creativity.
*Revitalization Spell: Aurelius can revitalize someone with his magic, restoring their stamina with magical energy and also allowing them to regenerate energy at a faster rate briefly. Beyond the cost of magical energy, revitalizating someone else causes Aurelius himself to lose stamina.
Holy Magic: As he is part angel, Aurelius could use and emit holy and white magic naturally without having to make a pact with a god or other being. Beyond adding to his mana reserves, it also allowed Aurelius access to several spells and abilities unique to this kind of magic. Since Aurelius possesses the soul of Saint Michael, Aurelius' holy magic is great in both quantity and quality.
*Blessing: With a single touch or a few words in the form of a prayer, Aurelius can bless objects or individuals. This allows them to empower them against monsters, demons, the undead, or anything evil. Blessings can also be used to grant boons such as great strength, speed, stamina, and other similar attributes as well as be used to heal others, being able to be used as a form of more powerful healing magic. Aurelius can even create holy water with a simple touch or imbue an ordinary object with holy properties, such as turning an ordinary sword into a holy sword. Aurelius is unable to bless himself, so he can not reap the benefits of boosting his abilities, nor can he use them to heal his own wounds. If Aurelius were to bless anything monstrous, demonic, undead, or evil, it would harm it instead of empowering it. It is essentially an enchantment with holy properties and is only beneficial.
*Holy Fire: Aurelius can conjure and manipulate holy fire. These flames do not act as regular fire, as they can't be put out through normal means and they scorch the soul of their target. When used against a human or a similar being, this fire does not affect the body and only targets the soul and attacks any corruption or sins that might occur. However, when used against beings such as monsters, demons, the undead, or anything of a sufficient level of evil it burns both the body and spirit and because it is holy in nature it does much more damage to those targets. Aurelius can shoot fireballs, streams of fire, massive blasts of flames, or even create limited constructs like fire blades or whips. All of Aurelius' normal fire spells transferred over to this skillset, though with holy properties instead of normal magic fire.
* Holy Light: Aurelius is capable of creating and manipulating holy light. This light is unable to harm anything that is not demonic, monstrous, or evil in nature but when used on those targets, it was extremely effective. Aurelius could imbue his equipment with holy light, fire in a variety of different forms like blasts or beams, and he could create constructs from this holy light such as swords, spears, daggers, orbs, rings, crosses, arrows, and much more. Aurelius tends to favor creating spears of light as projectiles or imbuing his equipment with Holy Light to help fight monsters. Since it is light, Holy Light can also be used to illuminate dark areas.
** Grand Cross: Grand Cross is a spell in which Aurelius accumulates the light magic in his body which is expelled in a massive cross of holy light that blinds anything that sees it and its rays destroy demons and monsters. It costs a great amount of mana for a single cross, though it could cost more depending on how powerful he made it.
*Holy Lightning: Aurelius can create and manipulate holy lightning. Beyond acting as powerful blasts of lightning, these blasts also do holy damage and thus are very effective against monsters, demons, the undead, or anything of a sufficient level of evil. Aurelius can fire lightning from his hands, weapons, and sigils, or command a strike of lighting to blast down from the heavens.
*Holy Water Generation: Aurelius is capable of creating and manipulating Holy Water. Demons and monsters doused in this water will be in excruciating pain and die and it can be used to purify objects or people. Aurelius could bless water near him to turn into holy water whether it was as small as a cup or as large as a lake or river, though this blessing would only last for a certain period of time.
**Hydro Storm: Hydro Storm is a spell that causes a localized rainstorm of holy water which purifies anything it touches and acts as a poison against demons and monsters. It cost a great amount of mana to use, depending on the area of effect and how hard Aurelius caused it to rain.
*Purification: Aurelius could purify all things to remove any contaminants whether it be something simple like germs or even magical curses. It allows Aurelius to exorcise beings that are possessing others such as Ghosts, Spirits, Demons, or other such creatures, and fights off corruption from demonic energy.
*Resurrection Spell: Aurelius was able to bring the dead back to life but only under specific circumstances. Aurelius can bring a recently deceased person back to life within less than a minute of their death, however, it must be done very fast before the soul leaves. Once the soul has left the body then this spell is useless unless the spirit is forced back into it. The body must also be in a decent enough condition to still reasonably function. Aurelius can also not interfere with a soul that has been claimed by a psychopomp as it is already being taken to the afterlife or cycle of reincarnation depending on their beliefs, unless he risks attacking the psychopomp for the rights to the soul. Aurelius could theoretically pluck a soul from the afterlife and put it into its body, however, that requires the consent of the soul in question and the approval of the ruler of the afterlife in question which presents problems as most souls that enter the afterlife do not wish to leave once they arrive and rulers of the dead are typically unwilling to bend the rules of death without making some kind of deal or understanding. Making things is worse is that resurrecting the dead takes a great amount of magical energy in a long and careful ritual which takes great time and effort. Aurelius could bring more than one person back in a single ritual, but that amount of energy it took grew exponentially. As such, Aurelius cannot bring people back to life in most cases. Aurelius needed to undo many of his angelic restrictions to even approach using this magic.
* Smite: Smite was an extremely powerful attack using immense holy power. Through Aurelius' holy power, he could unleash a blast of pure holy magic that obliterates anything that it is targeting. This smite can take any property possible, but the end result is either instant death or immense damage. It is most effective against monsters, demons, the undead, and anything evil, but it can be used on nearly any target.
Hypnosis: Aurelius is capable of hypnotizing people through his powers. The person that is affected is completely under his thrall unless he lets them go or they have enough willpower to resist his control. Aurelius needs to directly look them in the eye and it takes a few seconds to take hold. Aurelius rarely if ever makes use of this ability because of the power it has over people and the implication it has.
*Suggestion Spell: A suggestion spell is a variant of Hypnosis. Rather than directly manipulating into the minds of his target, Aurelius instead subtly manipulates them by implanting an idea in their mind or bringing up an impulse they natural thought of but wouldn't act on to the forefront.
Illusion Casting: Aurelius is capable of casting illusions. These take immense concentration to make use of but it is immensely useful, especially in combat by making his opponents see, hear, or feel things that weren't true to make them make mistakes. There were ways to dispel illusions and some people could see through them either through ESP, mana sensing, or an innate ability to do so which hampers their effectiveness. One use that Aurelius has found is using his illusions to play memories he had so that multiple can see, essentially acting as a sort of video player.
Invisibility: Aurelius could turn himself invisible for some time. Because of his use of Presence Concealment which masks a person's visibility, noise, and vitality this spell was rendered redundant.
Item Projection: Aurelius is rather skilled at item projection, the ability to create an item from thin air. Aurelius has a natural affinity for knightly weapons such as swords, spears, axes, daggers, bows, and armor. Aurelius is particularly good at projecting swords, having created a variety of swords with different properties and sizes for different situations. Aurelius also had an affinity for mundane or domestic items like clothes, chairs, or similar objects. Depending on the object being created, the item's projected usability varies and it often depended on Aurelius having knowledge of the composition of the item in question. Mundane items, clothes (including armor) and swords last almost indefinitely, whilst other "knightly weapons" can last for years. Anything else drastically goes down from as much as a year to as little as a few hours. Aurelius' Weaponsmith and Weapontracing Arts have somewhat eclipsed this type of magic, though really only for the creation of weapons.
* Blade Missile: Aurelius creates a weapon (usually either a sword or spear) around him through a glyph in the air and fires it forward as a missile. Using Weaponsmith or Weapon Tracing, could create weapons with magical effects, Exceed abilities, or limitbreaks which give the missle a special property. Aurelius could create multiple blade missiles, however, the cost multiplied as more blades were created and the concentration involved made it less effective. Beyond using item projection for this, Aurelius could create phantom weapons by creating constructs of pure mana for a similar purpose. Aurelius also commonly overloaded the weapons he created with mana so they exploded when they made contact with their targets, turning into literal missiles. 
**Storm of Blades: Aurelius creates dozens of weapons (primarily swords, knives, daggers, and spears) around him and then launches them forward as missiles. It was an enhanced version of Blade Missile, launching many weapons instead of just one or two. That said, it loses its precision to instead rain down death indiscriminately at high speeds.
*Field of Blades: Aurelius creates multiple weapons which emerge from the ground around his target, skewering them if they don't manage to dodge. Beyond using item projection for this, Aurelius could create phantom weapons by creating constructs of pure mana for a similar purpose. 
Magical Music: Aurelius could use magical music to perform a number of effects. The effects of musical magic were near limitless with the only issue is being able to sing, play, hum, or whistle the incantation correctly. Although Aurelius had immense musical talent and Lucifer's presence would make him a master of using magical music, the fact that it required actually performing made its usefulness low thanks to the time cost. 
*Song of Aggression: Aurelius could play the Song of Aggression which caught its intended target's attention and caused them to focus attacking on Aurelius. Aurelius could play this song on any instrument, though he most often whistled its tune for the same effect.
*Song of Calming
*Song of Storms
*Song of Sunshine
Mana Attacks: The ability to use magic in offensive ways. 
*Mana Beam: Aurelius can fire a continuous beam of pure mana from either his body or focused through an object, though it costs a great amount of mana to initiate and quickly burns through mana to do so. Aurelius concentrated it into a specific body part or through his weapons for better control. Aurelius typically channeled the beam through his weapons, such as from his swords or the top of his spears. The power, size, and range of the energy beam depended on how much mana he put into the technique. With his Bastion of Heroism Drive, he could fire massive beams that are capable of obliterating fortresses or even cities or rapidly recharge his mana so that he could spam beams repeatedly in short amounts of time.
* Mana Blade: Aurelius could envelop part of his body or an item he is holding with mana that sharpens to the point of being a blade. These mana blades were very sharp and only added to the sharpness of any existing blade it was used on. Aurelius used this to turn his hands or feet into emergency blades, turn mundane objects into viable weapons, or to super-enhance his bladed weapons to extreme sharpness. Aurelius could also use this to create bigger blades by extending the length of an existing blade using his mana to do so. The more energy that Aurelius used to create these blades the sharper the edge was or the larger it could be. Aurelius could also imbue his Mana Blade with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana. Using his drive, Aurelius could create massive blades of pure mana. 
**Mana Chainsaw: Aurelius could use a variant of Mana Blade that allows him to envelop something with magical energy similar to a chainsaw. It is very good for making massive wounds and for tearing away at a target. The more energy that Aurelius used to create this chainsaw, the sharper and faster it became to the point that it could easily carve through almost anything. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
**Mana Drill: Aurelius could use a variant of Mana Blade that allows him to envelop something with magical energy similar to that of a drill. It was very good for making large wounds and for digging into a target. The more energy that Aurelius used to create this drill, the more powerful it was and the faster it spun to the point that it could easily drill through almost anything. Aurelius later learned to fire this Mana Drill as a projectile. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
**Phantom Greatsword: Using Mana Blade, Aurelius could artificially turn Radiance or another sword into a greatsword. Aurelius could make it as small as a normal greatsword to as big as a skyscraper with the largest he has ever made Radiance being as tall as the Empire State Building.
* Mana Blast: Aurelius could fire a concentrated blast of mana from his body or weapon, though it costs quite a bit of mana and control to do so. Aurelius could fire it from his weapons or from a body part like his hands, though he could also emit it from his body as an unfocused blast. The power, size, and range of the blast depended on how much energy he put into the attack. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
**Mana Explosion: Aurelius is capable of releasing his mana from his entire body in a massive and unfocused explosion. Aurelius charges the mana inside of his body for a while before releasing it in an attack that is useful both for offense and defense. How much mana it uses and how destructive it is, depends on how much energy that Aurelius charges. With Aurelius' drive, he can charge massive explosions that can obliterate everything in his general area.
**Mana Wave: Aurelius performs a wave motion with his arm or a weapon which releases a blast of mana in a wavy arc-like fashion. It was somewhat similar to a Mana Slash but was more related to a Mana Blast. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana. It was very good for crowd control.
*Mana Bolt: Aurelius could fire a bolt or ball of pure mana that does some damage and is relatively economical to use. Aurelius can manipulate the direction of these bolts even in midair. Aurelius typically fired them from his hands or from a weapon, but he also used his glyphs to fire them. Aurelius could create as many bolts as long as he had the mana to afford it. The power, size, and range of the bolt depended on how much energy he put into the attack. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
**Mana Cannon: Mana Cannon was a variant of Mana Bolt, acting as a charged shot. It was much more powerful, but the projectile was slower and it took time to charge. Aurelius can manipulate the direction of the balls even in midair. Aurelius typically fired them from his hands or from a weapon, but he also used his glyphs to fire them. Aurelius could create as many balls as long as he had the mana to afford it. The power, size, and range of the ball depended on how much energy he put into the attack and how much he charged it. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
**Mana Pulse: Mana Pulse was a variant of Mana Bolt that was similar to Mana Bomb. It was a slow-moving Mana Bolt that exploded whenever it hit something. Aurelius can manipulate the direction of these pulses even in midair. Aurelius typically fired them from his hands or from a weapon, but he also used his glyphs to fire them. Aurelius could create as many pulses as long as he had the mana to afford it. The power, size, and range of the ball depended on how much energy he put into the attack. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
*Mana Bomb: Aurelius could create orbs of mana that exploded after some time. They were similar to Mana Bolts, but they exploded after some time. Aurelius can manipulate the direction of these bolts even in midair. Aurelius typically fired them from his hands or from a weapon, but he also used his glyphs to fire them. Aurelius could create as many bombs as long as he had the mana to afford it. The power and area of effect of the bomb depended on how much energy he put into the attack. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana. 
**Mana Flash: Aurelius could create a flashbang variant of Mana Bomb, though it did significantly less damage and relied on his light magic. Aurelius can manipulate the direction of these bolts even in midair. Aurelius could create as many bombs as long as he had the mana to afford it. The power and area of effect of the bomb depended on how much energy he put into the attack.
*Mana Impact: Aurelius could create a shockwave from any impact he made. This shockwave sent anything within the radius of the impact into the air and did damage to anything in that radius. Aurelius could also use it to cushion any damage he would ordinarily take from falling. The amount of mana consumed depended on the impact (such as how long he was falling or how hard he was striking) and how big he wanted the shockwave to be. Aurelius could imbue the shockwave with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
** Mana Strike: Aurelius could use a variant of his Mana Impact with his strikes. Whether Aurelius punched, kicked, or otherwise hit something he could use his mana to explode with that strike. This caused much more damage than a regular strike and also left a shockwave. It could also be used with a sort of time lag so that the mana's effect occurs sometime after the strike is completed. This makes it so that whatever strike Aurelius made left two impacts instead of a single one. How powerful Mana Strike is depends on how much mana he used for it. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
*Mana Slash: When using a bladed weapon, Aurelius is capable of firing a slash of energy from the blade that goes for a fair bit of distance. Aurelius has mastered this such that he could launch barrages of slashes without yielding. The power, sharpness, size, and range of the slash depended on how much energy Aurelius put into it. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
Mana Constructs: Aurelius can create limited constructs made from his magical energy. Aurelius typically creates items that he is familiar with such as blades or shields. As Aurelius is a certified blacksmith, he is quite capable of making use of this ability. Because of his skill in item projection and his Weaponsmith/Weapon Tracing Arts, he only makes use of this skill in certain situations. 
*Mana Arrow: Aurelius can create arrows made of pure mana. Aurelius has shown immense proficiency in this being able to create and fire a barrage of energy arrows all at once or even massive bolts. Aurelius later developed a way to fire massive bolts that turned into many smaller arrows. Aurelius has also shown the ability to manipulate the direction of these arrows even in midair and has developed a homing variant. Aurelius has also made explosive variants. The size, number, power, and attributes of the arrows depend on how much energy he put into them. Aurelius could imbue them with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
* Mana Bullet: Aurelius can create bullets out of his mana. While Aurelius can simply fire them from his fingertips, he can also load them into a gun or just manifest them into the chamber and use them like regular bullets. Aurelius can manipulate the direction of these bullets even in midair. Aurelius typically shot them by making a finger gun sign but, he could also spread his fingers out to shoot from all of them similar in theory to a duckfoot pistol. From firing them from his fingertips, he could spin them as though they were rifled shots. Aurelius could also rapid-fire the bullets and he later developed tracking variants of his mana bullets. Aurelius could also charge the bullets for extra power, though how powerful depended on how long he charged them. The size, power, number, and properties of the bullet depended on how much mana he put into them. Aurelius could imbue them with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
*Mana Disk: Aurelius could create disks of mana that bounced off surfaces until they eventually dissipated. Aurelius can manipulate the direction of these disks even in midair. Aurelius can fire it from his body (typically throwing it from his hand), from a weapon, or through his glyphs. Aurelius was limited by only having two arms so he could only fire two shots at once, though he later learned to launch a barrage of Mana Disks one after another or to use his glyphs. Aurelius could create as many disks as long as he had the mana to afford it. The size and lasting power of the disk depended on the amount of energy he put into it. Aurelius could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana. 
**Mana Razor Disk: Aurelius later developed a razor disk variant. While no longer able to bounce, it was much more lethal and it could embed itself into a target for deadly results. The razor disk's size, lasting power, and sharpness depended on the amount of energy he put into it.
*Mana Limb: Aurelius was able to create limbs made of pure magical energy, usually creating mana arms and legs. Aurelius could overlay these limbs over his own to act as phantasmal extensions of them which can extend or shapeshift (i.e. overlay over his hand and become a blade or become a giant fist), create massive constructs to attack his targets, or use them to temporarily replace one of his limbs if they were cut off and he couldn't wait for it to grow back.
*Mana Shield: Aurelius can create shields out of pure mana. While initially very fragile, Aurelius learned to create very powerful shields of various different shapes and sizes from round shields, heater shields, kite shields, tower shields, or even walls, amongst other defenses such as dome shields which protect a certain area. The amount of mana that it takes depends on the type of shield he makes, the size, how many he makes, and how long he holds it up. A simple round shield takes barely any energy, whilst his ultimate shield can swiftly eat up his entire supply.
** Fleur de Bouclier: Fleur de Bouclier was Aurelius' ultimate shield. It was a massive flower-shaped shield with seven layers that are as durable as a fortress wall. It took an immense amount of mana to conjure and quickly drained his mana to keep it up. Despite its great cost of use, it could protect from nearly anything and even reflected certain attacks.
* Mana Tether: Mana Tether was a whip or tendril made out of mana. Aurelius could use it as a whip, grappling hook, bola, or as a tether. This meant that Aurelius could use it to attack, traverse, tie up enemies, or tie things together. As long as Aurelius had the mana to afford it he could create as many as he needed. The size, length, and strength of the tether depended on how much mana he put into it. Aurelius could imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
**Mana Threads: Aurelius could use a variant of Mana Tether in the form of wires or threads that came from his fingertips. These threads could be used to hold things together or temporarily stitch them, though they could also be used as razor-sharp garrote wire. As long as Aurelius had the mana to afford it, he could create as many wires as he needed. The length, strength, and sharpness depended on how much mana he put into it. Aurelius could imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
***Mana Tripwires: Aurelius could detache the threads he made and connect them to different objects or to each other. This gave them several different purposes such as triggering a magical effect (such as an attack or curse), simply alert Aurelius that someone disturbed them, or be used to sense vibrations in the air. The tripwires were generally almost invisible to the naked eye and hard to sense with mana sensing, but it was not impossible.
Mana Drain: Aurelius is capable of draining magical energy from people, objects, or the environment, though it takes concentration and time which makes it unsuitable for use in combat. Aurelius would later learn how to do it passively, taking mana from his opponents or the area around him to avoid expending to much of his energy. Aurelius can not permanently steal mana from a target, and his target will eventually regenerate their stolen magical energy. How much mana he can steal depends on the form and limiters that Aurelius is using.
Mana Suppression: Magic Suppression is the ability to suppress one's own mana so that it cannot be sensed. Aurelius was originally unable to do so but after several years of practice managed to reach mastery over it. Aurelius was capable of suppressing his mana to the point that he had no sensible signature which was only something that only the dead usually had.
Mana Reinforcement: Reinforcement is the ability to use mana to strengthen, or reinforce, something. Aurelius is capable of using reinforcement on himself or on objects and even organisms that he is touching. This allows Aurelius to bring the best qualities of something and magnify them, pushing them to their limit. Reinforcement is simple in theory but difficult to master. At low to moderate levels of reinforcement, it was mostly harmless, though at higher levels it could have disastrous consequences if done wrong. Basic reinforcement simply involves pushing one's mana into an object or body part in low amounts, though higher levels require knowledge of the inner workings of the item being reinforced and careful use of mana being pushed into it. At a certain level, Reinforcement also allows one to harm spiritual or spectral bodies, due to it being a type of spiritual power that stems from a soul's essence or life force. When compared to using qi to reinforce something, mana had a more potent effect and something can be imbued with a variety of magical effects, but mana was more difficult to achieve and could be extremely dangerous when done wrong. Aurelius is very skilled with all forms of Reinforcement and he is very efficient in its use and his drive allows him to reinforce things to immense levels that others could only dream of. 
*Body Reinforcement: The practice of reinforcing one's own body. Reinforcement allows someone to magnify their natural abilities and how much it was boosted depended on how much mana was used to do it. While easy in theory, it was very dangerous and difficult to master. Those who did master it have shown the ability to reinforce their body passively, so their natural limits are ignored at all times. This works to increase strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes, and the senses. While it can be used on the entire body all at once, it can be focused on a particular body part to enhance it immensely (such as focusing on one arm for added strength or focusing on the eyes so that one can see kilometers away or see in the dark) and it was most useful the more knowledge that a mage had of their body and how it worked. It can also be used to allow them to go without eating or sleeping for longer. Aurelius had masterful control of the technique, though initially he had difficulties with conserving his mana to efficient levels. Still, his body was powerful enough to avoid much of the danger associated with the ability until he mastered that aspect. Aurelius has reached a point where he is always passively reinforcing himself on some level and his Bastion of Heroism allows him to exceed his limits to immense levels that are among the most powerful. Aurelius could also imbue this reinforcement with elemental properties (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana and control.
*Item Reinforcement: Aurelius can channel his mana into an item that he is touching to make it even better than it was before. It is primarily used on weaponry so that said weapon does more damage, is more durable, and can make use of mana attacks. There are also more mundane uses such as using mana to make food more nourishing and flavorful or making the edge of a knife sharper. It is hard to master and doing it wrong can damage to item being reinforced, possibly destroying it outright. It worked best if Aurelius knew the makeup of what he was reinforcing. Reinforcement can also be used to "scan" an object to analyze it and find any deformities, which can then be fixed (i.e. scanning a broken computer to find what's wrong and then using reinforcement or a repair spell to get it working again). Aurelius could also use this to reinforce organisms like animals or even people, though this was much harder than reinforcing a non-living object and if done wrong could be fatal. Aurelius was also very skilled at Item Reinforcement and his drive allowed him to boost items to an extreme extent such that even the most mundane of items could become weapons of destruction, though they would almost assuredly be destroyed as a result. Aurelius could also imbue this reinforcement with elemental properties (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana and control.
Portal Creation: Aurelius can create portals through his magic. Besides allowing him to teleport to another part of the world, he can create tears between dimensions to travel to different planes or realms. Aurelius can create portals to both Heaven and Hell, though it can be somewhat risky and takes an immense amount of magical energy to achieve. Aurelius usually slashed the air with his sword to create a portal, though he could simply create one with magic and has even torn holes in reality with his bare hands to create portals.
Presence Concealment: Presence Concealment is the ability to conceal one's presence. This makes it so that the user is invisible and makes no noise, those who sense mana, qi, psionics, or vitality will also have difficulty in being able to track them. Aurelius could completely block his presence from being perceived by anyone unless they could cancel it out or had magic to counter it.
Repair Spell: Aurelius could use magic to repair objects. How effective or efficient the repairing is depends on how much magic he puts into the object and how well he knows about it, with it being especially effective he already knows how to fix the object. While incredibly useful in a pinch, Aurelius personally likes fixing things by hand and only uses it when he needed to save on time or couldn't find a way to fix it without the spell.
Runes: Aurelius is capable of using runic magic to inscribe a variety of different effects on something. Aurelius uses a variety of different runes on his equipment for different purposes such as having runes that make his clothes or weapons unbreakable. It is similar to enchantments but in a physical form and is usually permanent unless the rune is warded off or the object is destroyed. Aurelius later learned to create runes on thin air, not needing an object to inscribe them however these are typically one use only. Aurelius used a mix of Gaulish and Norse runes as well as Hebrew characters.
Sealing: Aurelius could use sealing spells to trap magic or organisms into an object or seal away abilities or magics that can't be accessed.
*Mana Sealing: Mana Sealing was a spell that allowed one to lock away or "seal" someone's mana or other related energies so they could no longer be used. It essentially allowed one to take away the magical abilities until their channels were unlocked once again through whatever means they could find. It is a dangerous technique that is only used on dangerous criminals.
Shapeshifting: Aurelius can shapeshift into a variety of forms, although he typically liked to remain in the form he was born as out of personal preference. Aurelius could transform into a variety of animals, alter his appearance in subtle ways, or even change his sex and gender, amongst other things. Aurelius retained his intelligence and ability to speak while in these forms. Aurelius could transform into the following: 
*Animals
**Bear
**Boar
**Dog
**Eagle
**Lion
**Rabbit
**Seal
**Snake
**Wolf
*Female Form
*Child Form
Sound Magic: Aurelius could manipulate sound, noise, and silence to a certain extent.
* Silence: Aurelius could make it so that he made no noise or make it so that a specific target or targets made no noise. Aurelius rarely used it on himself after learning Presence Concealment
*Sonic Scream: Aurelius could use his magic to amplify his voice and release a extremely loud sonic scream which harmed the ears of anyone near him and could act as a projectile. The closer they are to Aurelius, the more the scream affects them.
*Voice Amplification: Aurelius could use his magic to amplify his voice, essentially allowing him to use a microphone or megaphone without having to carry one with him.
Steal: Aurelius can steal or otherwise take a faraway object. When used on a person, Aurelius can simply steal something that they are carrying or wearing. It takes great concentration and visualization of the object in question to work.
Surface Walk: Using his mana, Aurelius could cling to nearly any surface as though it were flat ground. It was a very advanced technique and it took a long time for Aurelius to master. As Aurelius has mastered it, he doesn't need to think about using it consciously and he made it very efficient to use, to the point that he does not expend any mana to walk on surfaces, simply treating them like they were ground. It allowed him to walk on walls or ceilings as easily as the floor.
Tantric Magic: Aurelius is aware of and is a practitioner of tantric magic, which is magic that is used for sexual activity. Aurelius is very embarrassed about it, but he does know how to use it and makes use of it in his personal life. This magic can be used to transfer energy between the parties involved (as body fluids such as semen are natural carriers of magic), as a ritual to do certain spells, or simply to make sex more interesting or pleasurable. 
Telekinesis: Aurelius could move objects (including people) using his mind, though depending on the size, number, weight, and magic resistance of the object being moved it could take more time and concentration.
Telepathy: Aurelius could read the minds of those who let him in, although he could also force himself through. This also allowed him to speak to those people telepathically. Aurelius could not alter their brain in any way, only being able to speak to them and understand what they were thinking.
Teleportation: Aurelius could teleport across distances, with the distance depending on how much magical energy he was using to do so. It costs a great amount of mana to teleport even a short distance and it can be very dangerous unless he knows exactly where he's teleporting. The farthest Aurelius has ever teleported was from one part of Paris to another. Because of the great cost and the danger associated with it, Aurelius typically only teleports short distances if at all and if he needs to get to another area instantly, he is more likely to use a warp spell. 
*Swapping Spell: Aurelius could swap places with a person or an object. It was essentially teleportation, but rather than just moving himself and anything he was touching, he also moved something else to trade places with him. It was much more complicated and cost much more mana than a normal teleportation spell.
Time Manipulation: Aurelius has limited time manipulation magic, though it costs a great amount of mana, is extremely hard to use, and can not be used for long. Because of how much it costs to use this type of magic and the dedication it needs to use properly, Aurelius rarely breaks it out as it drains his reserves fast and he can barely reach functional levels, and often comes at a steep physical cost.
* Rewind: Rewind is a spell that allows Aurelius to rewind a target's time. This can be used on objects, people, and monsters but living things can break out of it easier. It costs immense amounts of mana for every second rewound and per target it is used on, making it only usable for select instances unless Aurelius wants to risk running out of mana quickly. Aurelius can rewind all time but only for about 5 minutes at average, with the most he has ever pushed it being 30 minutes (though this nearly killed him and left him comatose for a week).
*Stasis: Stasis was a spell that allowed Aurelius to stop a specific target's time. This can be used on objects, people, and monsters but living things can break out of it easier. The amount of mana it cost depended on how long he used and how many targets he used it on, but a single second on a single target alone could take a massive chunk of his mana which made it not advisable to use except for select instances.
**Time Stop: Time Stop is a spell that stops time temporarily in an area of effect. Aurelius could continue moving when time was topped, but he moved much slower than he could normally move. It cost a great amount of mana and the exact amount depended on how long he stopped time and how large he made the area of effect, but even at its most conservative use it rapidly drained his mana to the point that it was not advisable to use.
*Time Alter: Time Alter is a spell that allows Aurelius to control his own innate time, allowing him to either speed up or slow himself down. Aurelius can only safely speed and slow himself up thrice as any more could have disastrous effects on his health, such as nearly stopping his heart or ripping his body to shreds. Aurelius has used his healing magic to get past the issues that overusing it brings up, however it is still extremely painful and could kill him easily if he wasn't careful. While this was his most cost-effective time spell, it was still very costly and not usable for too long.
Translation Spell: Aurelius has a translation spell that automatically translates language into a way that is understandable for Aurelius or someone he is speaking to. It does not give Aurelius the ability to know other languages, but it does allow him to understand what a person is saying or what is being written. It does this in that Aurelius perceives the words in a language he already knows, and vice versa for anyone he is speaking or writing to.
====Special Techniques====
Burning for You: Aurelius impales his target either with his weapon or fist and then burns them from the inside out with his fire magic. It caused almost instant death for his target as they are immolated to ashes from the inside.
Dragged to Hell: Aurelius opens a small portal to Hell, from which phantasmal arms and chains appear and drag their targets straight to Hell for eternal punishment.
Highway to Hell: Aurelius summons wings and lunges forward, grabbing his opponent by the face. Aurelius then slams his target into the ground and then takes of at extreme speeds, dragging his opponent on the ground as he flies. Aurelius then picked up his opponent and flies up into the air before slamming them down with all his strength, often causing an explosion and massive crater.
Pillars of the Underworld
Ride the Fire: Aurelius surrounds himself in a sphere of flames, then charges forward with immense speed with jet fire, leaving trails of powerful flames in his wake. As he reaches the apex of his speed, Aurelius then slashes with his sword, causing the sphere of flames around him to transform into a massive and powerful beam of concentrated fire that obliterates anything he aimed at when he swung. It essentially combined Jetfire, Flame Dash, and a weaker version of Nova Flame into a single technique. 
Hellfire Eruption: Aurelius charges a massive blast of energy and fires directly into the ground beneath him. The powerful blast then creates multiple craters from which beams of magical energy explode out of in multiple directions, destroying anything in the area. 
Herald of Darkness: Aurelius used Ouroboros Ophis to create a miniature version of the Great Red Dragon of the Apocalypse. Using himself as the core, seven long serpentine dragon heads and long black tendrils of Dark Miasma emerged from a sphere of darkness and laid waste to anything in the general area. These heads bit around them, slammed their heads and necks into the ground, fired blasts of pure demonic energy which vaporized their targets, and cast spells through reciting incantations in an unknown language that could not be dispelled. The very presence of these demonic dragon heads brought intense fear and subjugation to everyone around them, with only the strongest willed being able to rise up to fight against them. Despite being a smaller version of the Great Red Dragon, it was still as large as a city and capable of destroying anything the area, leaving nothing but pure obliteration for everything even if it is just a pale imitation of the true Final Beast. 
United in Light and Darkness: Activating Quis ut Deus and Devil Bringer at the same time, Aurelius charges two massive bolts of power energy in both hands. Aurelius then combines the bolts into a single massive blast of holy and demonic energy. Aurelius then fires this massive blast which vaporizes anything in its way, even destroying souls. 
World Eating Nāḥāš: Using Ouroboros Ophis, Aurelius creates several snakes which wrap around his opponent and begin constricting them. Aurelius then creates a giant snake similar to the World Serpent which violently bites down on his target while they are restrained, before swallowing them whole. The target is the consumed in a vortex of darkness and venom which disintegrates them completely down to the soul.
====Team Techniques====
Fastball Special: Aurelius gives one of his teammates a boost by picking them up or having them leap onto his shield and then hurl them with all his strength toward an opponent. Aurelius mostly did it with the shorter members of his team such as Eleanora, Karolina, or Sétanta, though he was strong enough to do it for everyone. Aurelius has also been the thrown party himself.
=== Arts===
====Aurelius' Arts====
Inventory (A++ Rank): Aurelius had access to a pocket dimension where he could store his equipment safely, acting like an inventory in a video game. No one else could access this inventory and Aurelius could store practically anything he wished in it and he didn't know if there was a limit to it. As long as Aurelius touched a non-living object, he could send it into his inventory. To retrieve something, Aurelius just needs to think of it and will it into his hands. If it is something that can be worn, Aurelius could also automatically put it on just be willing it to be put on him (something he compares to equipping an item or armor set in a video game). Aurelius could even store food in his inventory and it would not spoil or lose its temperature from when it was placed in his inventory. Aurelius placed most of his equipment in there along with an assortment of other things like food and treasure. Aurelius knows everything that is inside of his hoard and the art gives him an instant mental list of the things in it that does not actually take up space in his mind. It was a completely passive Art and took no energy to use.
Weaponsmith (A+ Rank): Aurelius could create whatever weapon he envisioned. While originally only capable of creating mundane weapons, Aurelius later learned to create weapons of various properties (such as holy or demonic swords). Aurelius was best suited to things like swords, daggers, spears, and axes and was less effective at creating things like guns. Whatever weapon that Aurelius creates is stored in a database within his soul so he can recreate it at any time, even if the original was destroyed. Aurelius earned this art due to his past as a blacksmith who specialized in weapons. It was relatively economical to use and Aurelius' large mana reserves lent well to its use.
Weapon Tracing (A+ Rank): Aurelius could create copies of weapons he came across. It essentially gives Aurelius to ability to analyze an item, store the analyzed data into a sort of memory bank within his soul, and recreate that weapon at any time. Unlike Weaponsmith which creates original weapons, Weapon Tracing creates copies of the weapons of others. Depending on the weapon, Aurelius can create either a perfect copy or an inferior duplicate. There are also weapons that are impossible to replicate. Aurelius can use his magic to manipulate and alter the copied weapon to either turn it into a new weapon or give it a different property, such as turning a copy of Hrunting into an arrow. Aurelius instantly gains competency in the weapon he is copying, mimicking how its original user would use it though he will not be as good as them and their style may clash with his own style.
United in Strength (A Rank): United in Strength made it so that Aurelius was fighting in a group of allies then all members would gain a boost in performance. The deeper the bond between the members of the group, the bigger the boost in power. If the number of allies exceeds a certain number, then no boost is granted.
Flames of the Forge (A Rank): Aurelius could superheat materials just by touching them. Aurelius is completely immune to any and all fire attacks when this art is active, aside from fire with supernatural properties like holy or hellfire. The main use of this Art is for almost instantaneously forging equipment and weapons just by touching metal that can be used for that purpose. It can be used offensively by allowing Aurelius to savagely burn anyone he touches, allows him to melt his opponent's metal equipment to slag, and he can set his own equipment on fire such as turning his swords, knives, or spears into flaming versions or setting his armor on fire so that anyone who touches it is burned. Aurelius also takes advantage of the fire immunity this Art gives him, by activating it when fire is around him to instantly nullify any damage he would normally take. Aurelius earned this art due to his past as a blacksmith and his affinity with fire magic. It was relatively economical to use.
Righteous Path (B Rank): As long as Aurelius is doing something righteous as defined by his own moral code and the code of chivalry, he will enjoy an increase in parameters. However, if Aurelius breaks his own code or the codes of chivalry, then he will become weaker by the same magnitude. It comes from his dedication to being a righteous hero. It was a passive Art that took no energy to use.
Guardian Knight (B Rank): If Aurelius is acting to protect someone, then all of his physical parameters are doubled. It comes from his dedication to protecting others. It was a passive Art that took no energy to use.
Penetrate (B Rank): When activated, this art allows Aurelius to get past any defense for a single attack. Anything that can be used to block or deflect his attack is either ignored or broken to allow Aurelius an uncontested hit. It took a great amount of magical energy to use and came at the cost of leaving himself open for the same to be done to him as he uses the art.
Hope Raiser (B Rank): When active, it creates an area of effect that causes the people inside of it to begin feeling positive emotions. It is very useful for tense situations and for defending against creatures that sense or feed on negative emotions. It comes from his talent for making others feel safe, loved, and protected. It took a moderate amount of magical energy to use.
Commanding Voice (B Rank): This allows Aurelius to empower everyone on his side with just his voice. If Aurelius were to give an order then anyone he was ordering would be given an immense boost in morale and their physical capabilities just from his words, similar to a rally cry in a video game. Aurelius cannot compel someone to do something they do not want to do, but if they have a shared goal and Aurelius voices his command to get that goal done then those he is attempting to use it on will gain that boost. Those under its effects have described themselves as being in a euphoric trance with a renewed sense of confidence that makes them able to complete any goal they have in mind. It slowly drained his energy when he activated it.
Last Stand (B Rank): If Aurelius makes an action that is sacrificial in nature or he has to make a last stand, then he will gain a boost in performance. The more the odds are stacked against him, the more powerful Aurelius will become. This also makes Aurelius harder to kill, as what should be fatal wounds will be temporarily ignored so he can keep fighting long after he should normally be able to. This only works if Aurelius is in mortal peril, so it would not activate if he was in danger of losing a fight he had no danger of dying in.
Future Sight (B- Rank): Aurelius could see glimpses of the future which he could then act upon. It only ever shows information that Aurelius is present for or could reasonably be aware of, and the information he learns will always have some impact on him. The visions that Aurelius sees can either be something that happens soon or as far forward as a couple of weeks. It takes a great amount of magical energy to activate and rapidly drains his energy as he views the future. It also has the chance of activating on its own but only when he needs it most (such as when he or an ally would take a fatal blow), during which it takes no magical energy. It also occasionally functions to give Aurelius prophetic dreams which can be as far flung as years or as close as hours and this also expends no mana as he does not consciously use it for this. These prophetic dreams sometimes have their events without context or layered in symbolism which make it hard to parse out what will actually happen. The future that Aurelius sees is not set in stone as they are only the most probable possibility and can be changed, though because of that Aurelius doesn’t know if it has changed until it happens. Because of him being able to see the future, Aurelius can use this ability for tactical and strategic reasons. Whenever Aurelius uses this ability, his eyes glow a whitish-blue light.
Royal Authority (C- Rank): Royal Authority is an Art that acts as a form of mind control. Once activated, Aurelius can verbally give a command that will cause his targets (if they are unable to resist it) to follow his orders. Aurelius must verbally command someone (usually by uttering the words "As your Prince, I command/order you...") and they must be within his range to be affected. It costs an extremely high amount of magical energy to use to the point that Aurelius can not make extensive use of it.
====Michael's Arts====
Patron Saint (A Rank): Thanks to the presence of Saint Michael within his soul, Aurelius has inherited the patronages that Michael has. Michael is the Patron Saint of dying people, poor souls, bankers, grocers, police officers, military personnel, mariners, paramedics, and firemen, meaning their prayers are turned into power that is given to him. Michael is also the Patron Saint of Vatican City, France, Germany, Brussels, and Kyiv making him stronger when he is in those places and any prayers made in churches or sanctuaries dedicated to Michael are redirected to Aurelius. Michael is also considered the Protector of the Jewish People and Guardian of the Catholic Church, making him stronger when he fights in their name. 
Dragon Slayer (A Rank): Aurelius becomes a living Anti-Dragon Weapon. All of Aurelius attacks on dragons and dragon-related beings do much more damage and get past their defences much easier.
Angel of Death (B Rank): Aurelius has a unique relationship with souls and the undead thanks to this Art. Aurelius can speak to and manipulate souls, can collect souls in a safe place, and send souls to the afterlife. This also extends to souls that he has absorbed with Soul Eater, allowing him to remove them from his soul and send them away to their proper place. This art essentially makes Aurelius a psychopomp and though he is a Catholic, his tolerance of other faiths allows him to serve as a psychopomp for all souls and faiths and send the deceased to the afterlife they belong to.
====Lucifer's Arts====
Hate Monger (A Rank): Aurelius could feed on the hatred of others, using their emotions to empower himself. The more hatred that is around him, the stronger that Aurelius gets. If that hatred is directed toward him, then the boost he gets is doubled. Aurelius can not use his own hatred to feed himself.
Deal with the Devil (A Rank): Aurelius could make a deal with someone that is absolutely binding and this deal can take many forms. It is essentially a super powerful geis that cannot be broken no matter what. It warps reality to make sure the parameters of the deal can be accomplished and anyone who breaks the contract will be punished severely, including Aurelius. Unlike a normal geis, however, deals made with this Art are heavily weighted in Aurelius' favor, though he still has to choose the words of the agreement carefully as he cannot deviate from them (though using exact words can give him some breathing room or arguing for implications or expectations behind the lines). 
Soul Eater (A Rank): Aurelius can absorb souls and life energy, as well as claim or collect souls for his own use. Aurelius can use this life energy to heal himself, make himself more powerful, or other similar actions. This also has the effect of making his enemies weaker and Aurelius could even take their memories, magic, or qi from them as he drains their soul. Aurelius can easily kill people or monsters by draining all of their life force or ripping the soul out of their body, though it takes a great amount of time and focus to do so which makes it difficult to use in active combat. Aurelius later learned how to use Soul Eater while fighting, such that every blow stole the life force of whomever he was fighting. There are ways to avoid having one's life force drained or soul stolen and certain people are exempt from having their souls taken. While Aurelius can permanently absorb souls, he typically releases the souls he has absorbed and sends them to the afterlife once he is done with them. Because permanently absorbing souls makes it so the soul cannot go to the afterlife or reincarnate, Aurelius rarely uses Soul Eater because of how horrific it is. 
Demonic Fury (A Rank): Aurelius increases all of his parameters whether physical or magical, increasing his power immensely. However, Aurelius devolved into a feral rage and becomes nothing more than a mindless demon, attacking at everything with reckless abandon whether they are friend or foe. After Aurelius came to terms with himself, he managed to find a way to get the boost from Demonic Fury without the drawbacks, allowing him to retain cognition while getting a boost to his raw power. 
Serpent Tongue (C++ Rank): The believability of Aurelius' lies are boosted for a short period. As Aurelius is naturally averse to lying, he receives a significant rank down to this Art compared to Lucifer. 
===Drives===
====Aurelius' Drives====
Bastion of Heroism- Infinite Power Stockpile (EX Rank): Bastion of Heroism allowed Aurelius to amplify his energy (i.e. physical energy, mana, chi, aura, etc. and can even effect the soul itself) or the energy of others by acting as an amplifier or a generator. This not only temporarily boosted his or his target's reserves of energy, but also amplified the effectiveness of the energy being boosted, making that energy stronger or more pure. Aurelius can stockpile this amplified energy for later use if he doesn't immediately use the energy as he boosts it. Aurelius can use this energy for himself or transfer it to another person or item. Once activated, Aurelius can begin generating power over time and concentration allowing him to generate as much as he needs or his body can handle from which he can use it in whatever way he sees fit. Aurelius can also use as much or as little energy as he wishes, though he only has 30 minutes to use his stockpiled energy before it dissipates from his reserves once he stops generating. As the only limit is how much he can handle it, this is one of the most powerful drives that exists and could be used to overcome nearly any obstacle. The origin of this Drive is a mixture of Aurelius' indomitable will, his desire to improve, and his resolve to defend others.
Giving this boosted energy to others will empower them greatly and they can use this energy how they see fit, with all of their abilities reaching immense heights. Aurelius could create a brief period of overcharge, giving his target a reserve of boosted energy similar to the one he creates for himself, essentially acting as though he was boosting them at all times until used up that excess energy or 30 minutes before the stockpile dissipates. Bastion of Heroism also gave rank-ups, evolutions, or mutations in arts and drives a greater chance of happening, essentially causing an artificial amount of growth that stuck with the power in question. It also strengthened the energy being boosted, helping grow their reserves and increase the quality of the energy as well. It was most effective if Aurelius physically contacted his target to give them a boost. The sensations that one feels when the drive is used on them depends on the person, their feelings, and their relationship with Aurelius. Some feel immense comfort, some feel protection, others feel love, a few feel sexual pleasure from it, and many other sensations occur. Anyone who is boosted too much feels immense pain like a hot iron being shoved through their spine and burning their nervous system and it can be fatal. Aurelius also learned a way to weaponize Bastion of Heroism by flooding someone with so much energy that their channels become damaged. This has a very severe effect on a person (potentially crippling or killing them), so he refrains from using it unless he has no other option. When used on others, it has side effects as it boosts energies related to the soul. Aurelius is momentarily connected to a person's soul which allows him to "read" it. This allows him to understand their thoughts, feelings, and their personality, and reach an understanding of who they are as a person in almost all respects. It also allows Aurelius to view their memories as long as he is connected to them. Amplifying the energy of others does drain Aurelius' energy as he is giving them some of his own to do it. Bastion of Heroism makes it so that Aurelius is giving what is effectively 2 or more units of energy for every 1 unit he is actually expending, however, that still does mean he has to give energy to amplify others. Aurelius can easily drain his energy by giving it to others if he isn't careful.
When used on himself, Bastion of Heroism allows Aurelius to boost himself greatly for extremely high performance. Simply by having the drive, all of Aurelius' abilities are passively boosted to a greater extent without needing to be activated. When used actively on himself, its true nature as a multiplier and stockpile is usable. This energy can be used for whatever Aurelius wants such as empowering his physical abilities, willpower, magical output, attacks, firing massive attacks of pure energy, or any other attribute that he wishes. Aurelius could use it to regenerate his used mana or qi at high speeds, essentially turning himself into an infinite battery. This does have a problem as while it doesn't damage his soul, his body can not handle that much power flooding it. Going too long while boosting himself will cause him immense pain and agony, and it could permanently damage his channels or prove to be fatal. Through training, Aurelius began to be able to handle the boost more. This allowed him to take more punishment from this technique, though it did not remove the drawbacks only pushing the threshold further back. At his peak, Aurelius can safely amplify his output at 100x in the short term. The most that Aurelius has ever done was 10,000 times his natural output which required him to constantly boost himself high above his natural levels and let it all release at once. This destroyed Aurelius' body and left him out of commission for a time, with the only thing that prevented him from dying or being permanently crippled being his healing factor. Aurelius could theoretically boost himself to an infinite degree, but he would assuredly die if he did so. Aurelius mitigate this by projecting the energy he wanted to use and amplify that, however, that was less effective and the stability of the energy could become compromised which will cause that energy to explode and cause even more damage. Using his drive to amplify his soul, allowed him to fight off corruption or mind control and helped keep his demon side in check. 
When used at lower levels, the part of his body Aurelius uses it on faintly glows. The glow becomes much more intense the higher level that Aurelius takes it. When using it on himself at high levels, Aurelius' eyes glow with energy, his hair moves as though the wind is blowing it, and his energy turns into a visible aura. The more Aurelius uses it on himself the larger and more powerful this aura becomes, with it enveloping him completely. At a certain level, sparks of electricity appeared around his body, though they seemed to be cosmetic only. At its highest, Aurelius' drive affected the area around him, with the ground trembling, his surroundings (such as the ground or weaker objects) being demolished, and gravity seemed to alter (smaller objects began floating). When used at higher than 100x, the weather itself seemed to change around him and shockwaves could be felt from his movements. Aurelius describes the sensation of using his drive on himself as having a jolt of electricity go through his entire system. Like with others, if Aurelius used his drive on himself too much it felt like torture and as though his nerves were being burned from the inside out and like the sun was melting him.
Aurelius' drive would evolve the ability to turn into an area of effect. This area amplifies anyone who is near Aurelius, but it is not as potent as him personally amplifying them. This method also drains his energy faster and he cannot control who gets amplified as anyone in the area of effect will reap the benefits. The range of the area depended on how far he pushed it, but the farther someone was from him the less effective it was. Aurelius later learned to project his drive at a distance so he didn’t need to be near someone to amplify them, though it required more concentration, could be easily stopped, lost effectiveness the farther the distance was, and wasn’t as cost-efficient.
Aurelius later learned how to amplify himself while amplifying others, essentially causing a feedback loop wherein he was constantly amplifying himself and others to levels of immense power. Because Aurelius was transferring his power at the same time as he was boosting it, he was not in danger of overloading himself and thus truly became a battery. That said, others could still be overloaded if they did not expend the excess energy fast enough. This became incredibly useful when amplifying in an area of effect, making it so that he can continuously amplify others without ceasing. Aurelius also learned how to use his area of effect to only amplify who he wanted to amplify and exclude people who he didn't. Aurelius also learned to do this passively, allowing him to fight even while constantly amplifying others and himself at the same time.
* Sub-Drive- Full Power Form: Bastion of Heroism had a Sub-Drive which manifested in the form of a "super" form. This form essentially allows Aurelius to be at top performance with his drive passively to the point that all of his parameters are at an infinite level. This essentially makes Aurelius one of the most powerful beings in existence and he even achieves the ability to break reality while using this form. The cost is that it takes an immense amount of energy and a great toll on his body such that using this form for even a minute will render him unconscious for a week. Using this form for too long will result in his death once he turns it off.
**Infinite Strength
** Infinite Speed
**Infinite Durability
**Infinite Agility 
**Infinitely Powerful Senses
** Infinitely Enhanced Magical Ability 
**Infinitely Powerful Aura
*Overdrive- Bastion Cannon: Bastion of Heroism's Overdrive was a single attack of pure power that utterly annihilated anything that it hit. While Aurelius most often used it as a massive beam of pure energy, he could also make into a ball of energy, or infuse all that energy into his weapons, fist, or foot for a single melee attack that achieved the same purpose. While it is one of the most powerful techniques that can and ever will exist, it takes so much energy that Aurelius will be unable to move and cannot use Bastion of Heroism for quite some time.
Host of the Heavenly Twins- Light and Dark (S++ Rank): Host of the Heavenly Twins is a Drive created from the presence of Saint Michael and Lucifer in Aurelius' soul. This drive gives Aurelius access to Michael and Lucifer's abilities, techniques, knowledge, and power, including their Arts and Drives. Aurelius could also speak to them as they were part of him. It was this Drive that gave him his immense holy and demonic powers and allowed him to take on his Angelic and Demonic forms, with those forms acting as a sort of limiter for how much access to their abilities he had. It also allowed Aurelius to transform into both Saint Michael and Lucifer as the ultimate culmination of his angel and demon forms, allowing him access to their Divine strength. Aurelius' access to these forms shifted with time, with him briefly losing access to his angelic abilities and his ability to speak to both Michael and Lucifer. Aurelius later regained these and he later developed a way to use both of them at the same time in perfect harmony. After fusing with Michael and Lucifer fully, he could no longer speak to them but he had their full knowledge and memories and could use their full power whenever he wished. Merlin placed several magical limiters on Aurelius so that his power would be kept in check and so he would no die from being overloaded. Aurelius would unintentionally discover them and began working to understand these limiters and how to use the power he had within him. Aurelius could remove his limiters for a boost in power, though he often put the restrictions back on once he was done with them. Aurelius had separate limiters for his Angelic and Demonic power, resulting in him having multiple forms for each. Aurelius originally couldn't use both without causing severe harm to himself, but eventually merged with Michael and Lucifer fully, allowing him to access both their power at the same time. From then on, Aurelius could remove his restraints for both at the same time, giving him greater power and new forms to explore. Although Aurelius was eventually able to handle the full brunt of his power without being overloaded, he still kept his limiters on him because he felt he needed them and that he didn't need to have all that power all at once. 
Inner Domain Manifestation: Kingdom of Providence- Everlasting Utopia (S++ Rank): Kingdom of Providence allows Aurelius to impose his innate soulscape and mental landscape over reality, essentially rewriting part of existence within a 10 mile radius to match his personal domain. Aurelius has complete and utter control over this personal dimension essentially becoming the God of this reality. This personal dimension is essentially his dream of an ideal reality made manifest, creating from his immense desire for this perfect world and rejection of the cruelty of the universe. As it is his soulscape overlayed over reality it essentially a fusion of Camelot, Versailles, and Avalon. Within this realm is a combination of Camelot and the Palace of Versailles, copies of all his friends, family, and allies, and a plethora of tools that he has used. Aurelius is greatly empowered in this world and can manipulate it in anyway that he sees fit. It is extremely costly, taking large parts of his mana to use for even a minute and he can only hold it for about 5 minutes without wasting all of his energy, though through training he managed to extend the time limit greatly. Aurelius could extend this using Bastion of Heroism, though it causes great harm to his physical body which can result in him being rendered unconscious at best or death at worst.
Powers of the Legendary Heroes (S++ Rank): Powers of the Legendary Heroes allows Aurelius to copy the powers, abilities, techniques, and equipment of a hero that he admires. As long as Aurelius has heard of and knows about the figure he wants to emulate, he can copy their powers including their Arts and Drives, as well as their weapons and he inherits their skill in using them. How powerful the abilities and armaments he copies and how long he has access to them depend on how much he knows and admires the figure in question, however, they will always be inherently inferior to the original in all ways. The more that Aurelius knows about the person he is copying, the stronger and more of their abilities he can copy, and the effect is greater if he actually knows them and has a bond with them. Aurelius can only copy the abilities of someone he admires as a hero, which includes his friends and family whom he loves and admires the most. Not all abilities are compatible so there are some that he has no way to copy. It later mutated to allow Aurelius to summon phantasmal copies of his friends to fight alongside him. It stems from his desire to be a true hero, his love for his friends and family, and his fascination with great heroes and legends. Aurelius describes it as the perfect ability of a "fake hero like [himself]."
*Sub-Drive: Sharing is Caring: Sharing is Caring is a Sub-Drive that somewhat reverses the effects of Powers of the Legendary Heroes. Aurelius can lend out copies of his own powers to his friends. The deeper the bond he has with them, the more abilities he is able to lend out and the more effective those borrowed abilities are.
*Sub-Drive: Power Theft: Power Theft is a Sub-Drive that Aurelius developed which allowed him to apply Powers of the Legendary Heroes to enemies or people that he would ordinarily see as villains. Unlike with the main drive, Aurelius' bond or feelings have no bearing on his copy though these copies are significantly weaker than a regular one. If him using the main drive results in a copy that is a rank down from the original, then using this sub-drive will result in a copy that is two rank downs.
Dragon Doré de Lumière- Light Dragon Prince (A Rank): Dragon Doré de Lumière transforms Aurelius into a massive Western Dragon. This gives Aurelius a massive boost in power and strength. It was something he achieved after reckoning with his draconic heritage and overcoming the prophecy of the Great Red Dragon of the Apocalypse, essentially replacing that ability with this drive.
*Immensely Enhanced Superhuman Strength
*Immensely Enhanced Superhuman Speed
*Immensely Enhanced Superhuman Durability
*Immensely Enhanced Superhuman Agility
*Immensely Enhanced Superhuman Magical Ability 
*Horns
*Antlers
* Fangs
*Wings
*Tail
Dies Irae- Hero's Martyrdom: Aurelius would eventually develop his own version of Dies Irae independently of Michael and Lucifer. Aurelius had to initiate the attack by reciting an incantation while holding his sword aloft. Aurelius then threw the sword in the air as it charged with energy before catching it. Aurelius then dropped to his knees, gave a final prayer and thrusts the sword directly into his heart. Aurelius is then given the absolute ability to utterly destroy any evil that he perceives such that his target will cease to exist completely. If done with good intentions and to a target deserving of such a fate, Aurelius will not die and be brought back to life, however, if these conditions are not met he will be given the same fate and be destroyed along with his target. It was one of the most powerful drives in all existince, giving Aurelius full omnipotent destructive power for a short period of time. As Aurelius was born a human, he should not have been able to develop a Dies Irae which only Greater Archangels and God Himself could have, but he somehow developed one through pure will.
====Saint Michael's Drives====
Quis ut Deus- Right Hand of God (EX): Right Hand of God gives Aurelius a fraction of the power of Yahweh, concentrated in his right arm. It allows Aurelius to manipulate reality through his arm and create and destroy anything with it. Aurelius can only hold this power for five minutes and it rendered him incredibly exhausted to use it, although it did not use his own energy while active. Aurelius later managed to extend the time limit through training. While the Drive is active, Aurelius' right arm turns into a golden white color and has glowing blue and pure gold runic symbols on it, as well as leaking a brilliant white aura that resembles an angel's wing. A flaw with this Drive is that it requires his right arm to be intact to be used, so if it were to be cut off Aurelius would need to grow it or he wouldn't be able to use it.
Dies Irae- Heaven's Judgement (S++): Dies Irae is one of the most powerful series of Drives that is only used by a few beings and each version of the Drive is unique. Michael's version, Heaven's Judgement, manifests in a shower of massive golden beams of pure holy energy which rain down from Heaven. At full power, each beam is more powerful than a hydrogen bomb and they obliterate whatever is being targeted, being more than enough to destroy the world. Although it uses energy from Heaven and not one's own magical energy, it takes an extremely long time to charge and takes long enough to make it only useable in specific circumstances. Aurelius can use weaker beams much faster though they lack that power. Aurelius can also summon a single massive laser than the energy rain he normally summons.
Domain Manifestation: Paradise Regained- Heaven is a Place on Earth (S++): Paradise Regained is Michael's Domain Manifestation which recreates Heaven on Earth in a 10 mile radius for 30 minutes. As it is not a true Inner Domain Manifestation, Aurelius does not have complete control over the domain he creates, as it is only a copy of Heaven and not his soul overlaying over reality and rewriting it to substitute reality for some time.
Archangel of Charity- Blessed are the Poor: 
Archangel of Justice- Sword of God:
Prince of Heaven- 
Scales of Judgement- Adjudicator of the Dead (S+ Rank): Scales of Justice allows Aurelius to "weigh" souls that he interacts with. It is the sublimation of Michael's Authority as the judge of souls in Heaven, above even Saint Peter. It weighs the sins that an individual committed and then inflicts the weight of those sins on its target, doing damage depending on the weight of the sin and the suffering they cause others. The more sinful the target is and the more suffering they have caused, the more powerful Scales of Justice is. The effects can range from negligible, a potent migraine, extreme pain, or outright instant death and damnation, even completely wiping a soul from existence in some cases. The effects of the Scales of Justice are lessened if the target feels genuine remorse for their sins and sins that do not cause suffering for others will have no effect aside from causing mild sadness at best.
Commander of the Heavenly Host- Army of the Divine (S+): Aurelius can shed golden tears which take the form of lesser angels which he can control as drones to fight alongside him. Aurelius can create at least 25 angels to fight with him. 
Spear of the Godhand- God's Fury (S Rank): Aurelius can create a phantasmal spear which has the power of a massive atomic explosion when thrown. It is essentially an overly large and powerful spear of light that utterly obliterates anything it it thrown at. 
==== Lucifer's Drives====
Dies Irae- Hell's Conquest (S++): Dies Irae is one of the most powerful series of Drives that is only used by a few beings and each version of the Drive is unique. Lucifer's version, Hell's Conquest, manifests as a miniature star that holds immense demonic energy that draws straight from Hell. At full power, the star is more powerful than the world's entire nuclear arsenal and obliterates anything it is targeted against. Although it uses energy from Hell and not one's own magical energy, it takes an extremely long time to charge and takes long enough to make it only useable in specific circumstances.
Domain Manifestation: Paradise Lost- Hell on Earth (S++): Paradise Lost is Lucifer's Domain Manifestation which recreates Hell on Earth in a 10 mile radius for 30 minutes. As it is not a true Inner Domain Manifestation, Aurelius does not have complete control over the domain he creates, as it is only a copy of Hell and not his soul overlaying over reality and rewriting it to substitute reality for some time. When summoned, Aurelius is chained up in the middle of Hell, similar to Lucifer's initial imprisonment in the dimension. Aurelius can break from from his imprisonment, though it takes a great amount of power to do so.
Demon of Pride- All is Vanity (S++ Rank): Demon of Pride is a Drive that represents Lucifer's nature as the Demon of Pride. It is a complicated Drive with multiple facets which affect how it can be utilized. The effects of Demon of Pride are divided into different Sub-Drives which are alternatively active and passive. 
* Vainglory: Vainglory allows Aurelius to gain strength the more prideful he is and the better he sees himself. The greater that Aurelius' ego is, the more powerful he is. It was this drive that allowed Lucifer to achieve strength almost equal to God as he saw himself as a being equal to or even greater than his creator. Because Aurelius is not a prideful person and is naturally proposed to think little of himself, he rarely gets to make use of it outside of his demon form which inflates his ego to a level it can never normally achieve while he is in his base form.
*Condescension: Condescension makes it so that Aurelius causes people he sees as lesser or weaker than he is to become weaker, and it saps whatever power they had to give to him. This drive can be used to drain the mana, qi, psionics, Arts, Drives, and even life energy of his opponents if Aurelius believes they are lesser than he is and he takes whatever gives them power to make himself even more superior. In many ways it is the opposite of his Bastion of Heroism, rather than generating and storing immense power from his own willpower, he saps the power of all others to make himself stronger. Similarly, by taking the strength of others, he can forcibly copy their powers such as their magic, Arts, and Drives and use them on his own.
*False God: False God allows Aurelius to gain strength from the worship of others who see him as superior or as an object of admiration. As long as people find him something to be admired or think that he is better than they are (even if that thought is tinged with hatred), Aurelius will gain strength from that.
Father of Sin- Lord of the Damned (S++ Rank): Father of Sin allows Aurelius to use the primary drives that the other Demons of Sins can use, as he is the metaphorical origin of sinfulness, the Supreme Emperor of all Demons, and Pride begets all sins. 
Archangel of Light- Holy Light of the Fallen (S++): Aurelius can control a sort of demonic light, an oxymoronic substance that both rivals the light of God and utterly demonic in origin and functions to protect him from the traditional Demonic weaknesses. While light is normally the domain of the holy and divine, Lucifer retained his control over it even after he fell as a Demon. As such, this demonic light functions to corrupt the holy and is still hyper effective against other demons. It was one of the main powers that assured Lucifer's dominion over the legions of Hell, as none could come close to matching its strength and it made Lucifer able to keep his legions in line due to having control over their main weaknesses without sharing that weakness itself. It is the sublimation of Lucifer's Authority over light as the Archangel of Light.
Prince of Darkness- Black Miasma of the Demon God (S++ Rank): Prince of Darkness gives Aurelius advanced control over a dark miasma made of pure demonic energy. This miasma often takes the form of a shadow substance, though it can also be liquid. While nearly all Demons have access to something similar, as Lucifer is the God of Demons and Ha-Satan his command of this Hellish darkness is on a level unobtainable to other demons and he can take a form that is literally this darkness itself, making him a being of pure darkness. Aurelius can use this miasma to create objects, as weapons to attack, create subservient demons, envelop parts of his body with the darkness for different purposes similar to shapeshifting, become one with darkness allowing him to traverse shadows or teleport, or easily drain the life or reap the souls of his targets. Unlike regular shadows which are dispelled by light, this darkness persists even in the face of holy light. Prince of Darkness essentially acts to supplement the natural miasma that Aurelius can use as part of his Demonic magic. Within his Prince of Darkness form, he is living darkness being essentially a void of nothing that can shapeshift at will and can not be truly destroyed.
Devil Bringer- Sinister Left Hand (S++): Devil Bringer is Lucifer's version of Right Hand of God, being a more destructive copy focused through his left arm. As Lucifer is a sort of "false God" Devil Bringer is only a pale imitation of Michael's Right Hand of God, but it is still incredibly powerful. While the Drive is active, Aurelius' left arm turns into a dark black color with sharp red talons and has glowing red runic symbols on it, as well as leaking a dark purple aura and dark miasma from it. A flaw with this Drive is that it requires his left arm to be intact to be used, so if it were to be cut off Aurelius would need to grow it or he wouldn't be able to use it.
Ouroboros Ophis- Serpent of Eden (S+ Rank): Ouroboros Ophis is a Drive that represents Lucifer's nature as the Serpent of Eden, the one who tricked Adam and Eve in eating from the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. It gives Aurelius several abilities relating to serpents and dragons. Aurelius can command of demonic snakes made of dark miasma from which he could create as many as his energy allowed and could create as many types as he needed from vipers, pythons, cobras, adders, and more, even serpentine dragons and sea monsters. These snakes could either be spawned off to serve as minions to fight with him or a unique type of dark miasma that functioned differently than his normal kind, being able to shape it differently. Aurelius could also turn his arms into extremely long snakes or dragons that bite at their targets, including multiple snakes at the same time with as many as seven snakes per arm. Aurelius could also transform into a red and black seven headed dragon with ten horns, essentially a smaller and weaker version of the Great Red Dragon of the Apocalypse. One of the main powers that this drive gave Aurelius was the ability to inject people with a deadly venom with his attacks, whether he struck them with his hands, a weapon, if he bit them, or if he used one of his serpents to inject the venom. This venom acts as a sort of amalgamation of extremely potent venom, acid, and the dark matter from the Void between the Worlds, systematically corroding all facets of their targets from their physical body to their soul. This venom affects all beings, including gods. This allows Aurelius to eliminate entities completely from existence. 
Archangel of the Arts: Archangel of the Arts represented Lucifer's status as the Angel of the Arts. It boosted Aurelius' artistic efforts, being particularly effective for the arts that he had a passion for. It essentially boosted Aurelius' artistic talent greatly once he began practicing, with the amount depending on Aurelius himself and he even learned how to suppress it so that he could practice completely on his own. Aurelius views the art as giving him immense potential in the arts, though he had to practice to make that potential into something useable. 
===Other Attributes===
Immense Wealth: Having been born an heir to two of the biggest and most wealthy kingdoms on the planet, Aurelius was born with immense wealth. Despite his wealth, Aurelius was a rather frugal man and didn't care for extravagance. Aurelius had gotten several jobs to provide for himself without wanting to dig into his family's money. Aurelius treated his family's coffers as something to use for emergencies, rather than everyday use. Thanks to his many adventures, Aurelius has added several treasures to his own personal coffers making him even more wealthy, though he often donated much of his wealth to charity. 
Immense Training & Experience: Aurelius had begun training since he was eight years old and has been in countless battles and situations. As such, Aurelius has experienced much during his life which prepares him for a great many types of conflicts. While there are others who have trained harder and experienced more than him, Aurelius has still gone through a lot and is prepared for most things.
===Weaknesses===
====Physical Weaknesses====
Anti-Dragon Paraphernalia: Being part dragon has resulted in Aurelius having some weakness to magic and weapons that are designed to fight them. Since he is not a pure dragon it does not affect him as much as them, but he still takes more damage from anti-dragon paraphernalia than what a non-dragon would receive. When Aurelius uses his Dragon Power form and Dragon Doré de Lumière his weakness to anti-dragon magic and weapons increases greatly.
Anti-Demon Paraphernalia: Being part demon has resulted in Aurelius having some weakness to magic and weapons that are designed to fight them. Thanks to being only part demon and also being part angel, this weakness is lessened a great deal while in his normal form to the point that while in his base form it does not come up much. However, the further he uses his demonic power the greater this weakness becomes and he also loses access to holy and white magic when using his demonic forms. As Aurelius possesses the soul of Lucifer, the most powerful of Demons who is himself immune or highly resistant to traditional demonic weaknesses, Aurelius is lessened to a considerable level.
Anti-Angel Paraphernalia: Being part angel has resulted in Aurelius having some weakness to magic and weapons that are designed to fight them. Thanks to being only part angel and also being part demon, this weakness is lessened a great deal while in his normal form to the point that while in his base form it does not come up much. However, the further he uses his angelic power the greater this weakness becomes and he also loses access to demonic and black magic when using his angel forms.
Anti-Fairy Paraphernalia: Being part fairy has resulted in Aurelius having some weakness to magic and weapons that are designed to fight them. As he is only part fairy, these anti-fairy weapons and attacks have less of an effect on him and things like cold iron have no effect on him whatsoever.
Food Intake: Aurelius required a massive amount of nourishment to sustain himself. Aurelius needs to eat almost three times as much as the average person. Aurelius could also use his magical energy to sustain himself, though he considered it a waste and it was something he only did in emergencies.
Sensory Overload: Aurelius' extremely sharp senses has left him somewhat susceptible to sensory overload. While he is long gotten use to his enhanced senses and has undergone training to overcome this shortcoming, he can still be harmed by extremely loud noises, putrid smells, or blinding sights which affect him more because of his senses.
Migraines: Aurelius sometimes fell victim to intense migraines. Beyond giving him immense pain, it often discombobulated Aurelius and left him unable to properly process things for a while. It is unclear why Aurelius has these migraines, but it is something that has plagued him since childhood. They tend to crop up when he was overly stressed or used too much of his power, especially his ESP.
Sickly Constitution (Formerly): Aurelius was born with a very weak constitution that made him nearly die soon after birth. Aurelius was completely healed of his illness a few days after his birth, and he became a perfectly healthy child soon after.
Motion Sickness (Formerly): Aurelius used to suffer from motion sickness, something that has plagued the Lyons family for generations. While not debilitating, it was a source of derision from others and a personal annoyance. For whatever reason it only ever occurred when Aurelius was using aerial transport and was drastically lessened on naval transport and non-existent when it came to automobiles. Through training and exposure (Corbyn strapping him to a flying car and having it fly for hours), Aurelius eventually conquered his motion sickness.
Power Overload (Formerly): Aurelius' body was simply unable to handle the excess power that he possessed. Whether it was Basiton of Heroism or the presence of the Heavenly Twins, trying to access the higher reserves of his power could have dire consequences for him, either utterly destroying his body or even killing him outright. It took years for Aurelius to begin harnessing his power in ways that were more useful and for him to be able to handle it. Even then, Aurelius was never able to fully handle to fullest potential of Bastion of Heroism even at his strongest because of its nature as something infinite.
==== Mental Weaknesses====
Stubbornness: A consequence of his indomitable will was that it could easily be turned into stubbornness. Aurelius could be set in his ways and remain obstinate despite evidence that should make him reconsider things. While not always a problem and it is often a strength, it can easily be used as a mark against him and can be taken advantage of.
Self-Sacrificial Tendencies: Aurelius had a habit of putting himself in danger to protect others. Aurelius also seemed to lack all sense of self-preservation and would do his best to help others at almost any cost to himself. Others have described Aurelius as the type of person to throw his life away to protect someone he just met two seconds ago. While Aurelius' worst impulses have been kept in check, he was still not completely over this issue. Aurelius love for his friends and family has served as a limit on this as he wouldn't want to hurt them by getting himself killed, though he was still willing to die for what he saw as the greater good.
Lack of Self-worth
Imposter Syndrome
Social Awkwardness: Despite his natural charisma and love of others, Aurelius was noted to be somewhat socially awkward. Aurelius was endlessly cordial and pleasant in everyday conversation, however, he had a bit of habit of putting his foot in his mouth and sometimes had trouble with social norms. While Aurelius had no fear of interacting with others and was generally well liked, he did make a few mistakes at times which made him seem awkward or foolish.
Insomnia: Aurelius suffered from insomnia since childhood, not helped by his predilection for nightmares. The constant stress and nightmares that Aurelius experienced made it so that he often had long periods where he was completely unable to sleep. While he didn't need as much sleep as a normal person and could use magic to keep him refreshed, he still suffered from insomnia and often went days without sleeping. Aurelius often used chamomile tea and sleeping medicine to help deal with it or even used sleep spells to induce sleep when he really needed to.
Emotional & Mental Instability (Formerly)
*Diabolus (Formerly)
Self-Fear (Formerly): Aurelius was afraid of his strength and his love of battle, fearing that he would devolve into bloodlust which resulted in him unconsciously holding back so as to not lose himself or hurt people unduly. Aurelius was confronted by this side of himself while accompanying the Seven Swords, resulting in Aurelius accepting that his love of fighting was not evil and achieve confidence in his strength.
====Other Weaknesses====
Luck: While Aurelius is not devoid of good luck, he also has absolutely terrible luck as the same time. Aurelius notes that everything seems to go wrong for him at most times, but he only narrowly manages to salvage the situation into something that is fully good.
Judas Iscariot: Judas Iscariot is one of Aurelius' natural enemies and is someone that Aurelius can not fight on even terms. This is because of Judas' drive and status as the embodiment of the Deadly Sin of Despair, the sin that Aurelius matches most. Although Aurelius should have been able to be more than a match for Judas and defeated him easily, Judas' nature made Aurelius simply unable to win no matter what. Although Aurelius was able to overpower Judas in bursts and caused immense damage to him, Judas would ultimately always prevail. It was Eleanora who ultimately managed to best Judas in battle and her convincing Judas to forgive himself for his sins that he was defeated, rather than by Aurelius' use of force.
Samael (Formerly): Samael is one of Aurelius' natural enemies and is someone that Aurelius cannot fight on even terms. This is because one of Samael's allows him to feed off the hatred and anger of others, especially when it is directed at him. Samael is the person that Aurelius hates the most, resulting in Samael gaining extreme amounts of strength when fighting Aurelius. As such Samael grows disproportionately powerful when fighting Aurelius, allowing Samael to almost effortlessly defeat him in most of their battles. Aurelius eventually managed to control his overbearing wrath regarding Samael, allowing him to fight evenly with him and eventually prevail in battle, giving Aurelius the chance to kill Samael for good and bring justice for both himself and all those Samael killed. 
==Paraphernalia==
===Weapons ===
====Current ====
Resolution (A/EX Rank): Resolution was Aurelius' personal sword that he created himself and was his favorite weapon. Resolution was a longsword with a blade meant for both slashing and thrusting, a grip that was large enough for two hands, a large, ornate crossguard, that had hooked quillons that allowed it to hook weapons and shields or trip opponents, and a scent stopper pommel that could be used as a striking weapon. Resolution was magical in nature and was both a holy and demonic sword. Thanks to how it was forged and the amount of qi and magical energy that has been infused into it, Resolution can be considered an extension of Aurelius himself. Because it is almost metaphysically part of him, it is also a perfect vessel for his Bastion of Heroism drive which can make it infinitely powerful, though this is very reliant on certain conditions. It would also create its own spirit, becoming a living sword that only Aurelius could speak to. Despite its size and the fact that Aurelius most often used it one handed, it was very heavy and weighed 15 lbs. The sword had three forms: a normal base form, a holy form, and a demonic form and which form it was in affected the sword's appearance and which of its nature was stronger. Resolution later gained two additional forms one that focused his Bastion of Heroism into it and a final one that let it use both holy and demonic sides at the same time and without compromising on each other. Aurelius often dual wielded with sword with another weapon, a shield, or used his free hand for magic, striking, or grappling.
*Immense Cutting Power: Resolution had immense cutting power which allowed it to cut through almost anything it was used against.
** Dimensional Cutting: Resolution could cut through dimensions, allowing for long-range attacks and the ability to cut portals that could be traveled through.
* Immense Durability: While not indestructible, Resolution is far more durable than the average sword and was one of the few weapons that could withstand his full power.
*Anti-Magic Properties: Resolution had some anti-magic properties that allowed it to defend against magic to a certain extent. It could dispel some magical spells and most weak magical spells were negated when they were cast on the blade.
* Anti-Dragon Properties: As a result of having been used to fight and kill dragons several times, Resolution was imbued with Anti-Dragon properties which allow it to harm them much more easily.
*Anti-Divine Properties: As a result of having been used to fight and kill Divine entities several times, Resolution was imbued with Anti-Divine Properties which allowed it to harm divine spirits and related beings much more easily.
*Anti-Spirit Properties: Thanks to the amount of energy that has been infused into it, Resolution has been imbued with Anti-Spirit Properties. This allowed it to harm non-physical entities like ghosts, beings with spiritual forms, or beings on the astral plane. While these should be immune to physical contact, Resolution is able to harm them just as well as if they were physical beings.
*Holy Magic: As a holy sword, Resolution was imbued with a number of holy abilities which gave it immense power. 
**Anti-Evil Properties: Resolution harmed anything that was "evil" and touched it. It repelled all evil magics and hurt those who could be considered evil.
**Holy Light: As a holy sword, Resolution could emit holy light which allowed it to grievously harm anything demonic, monstrous, evil, or otherwise unholy. This holy light can be focused to create slashes that go great distances or even sword beams.
*Demonic Magic: As a demonic sword, Resolution was imbued with a number of demonic abilities which gave it immense power. 
**Demonic Energy: As a demonic sword, Resolution was imbued with demonic energy that gave it power. Resolution did more damage to anything that was not resistant to it and it could counter weaker holy magic. This demonic energy can be focused to create slashes that go great distances or even sword beams.
**Blood Magic: Resolution was imbued with blood magic which gave it several abilities. Resolution could absorb the blood of its targets to get more powerful. Resolution could also be used as a tracker as it tracked the blood of its victims.
** Life Reaping:
*Elemental Magic: Resolution was imbued with elemental magic which gave it a number of abilities. The element or combination of elements being used was indicated by the color of the runes along the blade. These runes not only created the elements, but they also amplified Aurelius' natural elemental affinities thus making it his elemental magic stronger when channeled through his weapon. 
** Fire Magic: Resolution was imbued with the magical element of fire. This allowed the sword to be set ablaze and launch fire attacks, even acting as a sort of flamethrower. The sword's runes turned red when using this element.
**Ice Magic: Resolution was imbued with the magical element of ice. This allowed the sword to freeze things and it could even act similarly to a wand to create ice constructs. The sword's runes turned into a light blue when using this element.
**Earth Magic: Resolution was imbued with earth magic which allowed it to manipulate the earth, cause small earthquakes, and create dust and sandstorms. The sword's runes turned brown when using this element.
**Wind Magic: Resolution was imbued with the magical element of wind. This allowed the sword to fire large gusts of wind, create tornadoes, launch razor wind, or envelop itself to turn the sword invisible. The sword's runes turned green when using this element.
** Water Magic: Resolution was imbued with the magical element of water. This allowed the sword to fire generate water to be used for attacks and it could also be used to create holy water. The sword's runes turned into a dark blue when using this element.
**Lightning Magic: Resolution was imbued with lightning magic which allowed it to channel and absorb electricity, act as a sort of taser, and shoot lightning bolts from it. The sword's runes turned yellow when using this element.
**Poison Magic: Resolution was imbued with poison in the blade so that it poisoned anyone struck by it. This poison also interfered in the healing factors of others, causing wounds to last for longer than they normally should. The sword's runes turned purple when using this element.
*Return: Whenever Resolution was separated from Aurelius, he could always will it so that it returns to him. Aurelius merely needs to will it to be and it will either fly back into his hand or materialize in it.
*Sword Spirit: Throughout its years of use, Resolution would develop its own spirit and become a living weapon. The spirit within Resolution is almost a spiritual fragment of Aurelius, appearing a younger version of him. Anyone who wields Resolution will be able to telepathically speak with the spirit and it alters how the sword works, fighting alongside them.
** Empathetic Blade: Resolution will only allow Aurelius and those he trusts to wield its full power, anyone else would only get an ordinary sword without its magical abilities. Similarly, if the sword considers its wielder to be evil it will harm them.
** Self-Fighting: Resolution will fight on its own without Aurelius wielding it. It will use magic to fly itself, slashing and thrusting at any target that Aurelius is fighting. Even if Aurelius is using Resolution, it will begin to control Aurelius' arm to make attacks or defend on Aurelius' behalf. While it typically refrained from doing so, Resolution would do so if Aurelius was distracted or unable to fight himself. 
*Exceed Ability- Sword of Duality
*Limit Breaker- 
Blessing & Curse (A Rank): Blessing & Curse are a pair of falchion-like short swords that Aurelius made. They were both large and heavy swords (at about eight pounds each) that Aurelius dual-wielded and they had magical abilities. Blessing was a holy sword, whilst Curse was a demonic sword. Although technically two different swords, Aurelius prefers to think of them as a single weapon.
*Immense Cutting Power: Both Blessing & Curse had immense cutting power which allowed them to cut through almost anything they were used against.
*Immense Durability: While not indestructible, Blessing & Curse are far more durable than the average sword.
*Holy Light: Blessing was a holy sword and could use holy energy. This allowed Blessing to be strong against monsters, demons, and other evil beings and it could channel this energy into slashes of light.
*Demonic Energy: Curse was a demon sword and could use demonic energy. This allowed Curse to be strong against most opponents and it had a degree of power against holy attributes. It could channel this energy into slashes of demonic energy.
*Return: Blessing and Curse were connected to each other and to Aurelius. Whenever one sword was thrown, it could be called back to Aurelius' hand or to its paired sword. This allows Blessing & Curse to act as boomerangs.
Blazing Sword (S++ Rank): Aurelius possessed Saint Michael's Blazing Sword. The Blazing Sword is one of the strongest holy swords to ever exist, being the primary sword of Saint Michael the Archangel. Aurelius only had access to it in his Angel form.
*Indestructible: The Blazing Sword could never be chipped or broken, its blade never dulled, and it never rusted.
*Immense Cutting Power: The Blazing Sword had immense cutting power which allowed it to cut through almost anything it was used against.
*Anti-Evil Properties: The Blazing Sword harmed anything that was "evil" and touched it. It repelled all evil magics and hurt those who could be considered evil.
* Anti-Magic Properties: The Blazing Sword was unaffected by nearly all magic that was cast on it and it could dispel any spell it was used against.
*Anti-Monster Properties: As a Holy Sword, the Blazing Sword had Anti-Monster and Anti-Demon properties. Even spectral beings like ghosts are not immune to being killed by the Blazing Sword.
*Anti-Dragon Properties: The Blazing Sword had special dragon-slaying properties.
*Fire Magic: The Blazing Sword was imbued with the magical element of fire, specifically holy fire. This allowed the sword to be set ablaze and launch fire attacks. As the Blazing Sword uses holy fire, it burns the soul as much as it burns the body and it does not behave the same way that regular fire does.
*Holy Light: As a Holy Sword, the Blazing could emit holy light which allowed it to grievously harm anything demonic, monstrous, evil, or otherwise unholy. This holy light can be focused to create slashes that go great distances or even sword beams.
**Blessing: With a single touch or by pointing at something, the Blazing Sword can bless objects or individuals. This allows them to be effective against monsters and demons. The Blazing Sword can even create holy water with a simple touch.
**Purification: The Blazing Sword could purify all things to remove any contaminants whether it be something simple like germs or even magical curses. It could also exorcise beings that are possessing others such as ghosts. Its power of purification was almost limitless and it purified anything it touched, cut, or could even fire a ray of purifying energy from its point.
*Exceed Ability
*Limit Breaker
Tenebris (S++ Rank): Aurelius possessed Lucifer's Tenebris. Tenebris is one of the strongest demonic swords to ever exist, being the primary sword Lucifer used after he became the Emperor of Hell. Aurelius only had access to it in his demon form.
*Indestructible: Tenebris could never be chipped or broken, it's blade never dulled, and it never rusted.
*Immense Cutting Power: Tenebris had immense cutting power which allowed it to cut through almost anything it was used against.
* Anti-Holy Properties: As one of the strongest demonic swords to ever exist, Tenebris had power against holy properties. Beings like angels or other creatures that have holy attributes are dealt more damage.
*Anti-Magic Properties: Tenebris was unaffected by nearly all magic that was cast on it and it could dispel any spell it was used against.
*Fire Magic: Tenebris was imbued with the magical element of fire, specifically hellfire. This allowed the sword to be set ablaze and launch fire attacks. As Tenebris uses hellfire, it burns the soul as much as it burns the body and it does not behave the same way that regular fire does.
*Demonic Energy: As a Demon Sword, Tenebris was imbued with demonic energy that gave it immense power. The sheer amount of demonic energy in Tenebris allowed it to do more damage to anything that was not resistant to it and it could actually counter holy magic by overwhelming it. This demonic energy can be focused to create slashes that go great distances or even sword beams. Every strike from its blade and every magical blast was like a curse.
Revelry (C- Rank): Revelry was a dagger that Aurelius owned. Though it is a dagger, it is closer to a short sword in most respects. It was a magical weapon that Aurelius forged. Aurelius primarily used it when he couldn't use Resolution or Résoudre because of space or a dagger would simply be a better weapon.
* Immense Cutting Power: Revelry had immense cutting power which allowed it to cut through almost anything it was used against.
* Immense Durability: While not indestructible, Revelry is far more durable than the average dagger.
*Elemental Magic
** Fire Magic: Revelry was imbued with the magical element of fire. This allowed the sword to be set ablaze and launch fire attacks.
**Ice Magic: Revelry was imbued with the magical element of ice. This allowed the sword to freeze things and it could even act similarly to a wand to create small ice constructs.
**Lightning Magic: Revelry was imbued with lightning magic which allowed it to act as a taser.
* Return: Whenever Revelry was separated from Aurelius, he could always will it back to him. Aurelius merely needs to will it to be and it will either fly back into his hand or materialize in it.
Boot Knife (E+ Rank): Aurelius hid a knife in his right boot. While not a particularly effective weapon, it was something that he kept for emergencies or surprise. The knife was a slender dagger with an ornate hilt meant to mimic a cross. It was made of silver which made it more effective against the undead and its cross shape meant it was particularly effective against vampires.
Résoudre (B++/EX Rank): Résoudre was Aurelius' personal spear that he created himself. Résoudre had a telescoping shaft, which altered its length and how it could be used whether for melee, throwing, or jousting. The spearhead of Résoudre could be used for slashing and thrusting. Résoudre was magical in nature and was both a holy and demonic spear. Thanks to how it was forged and the amount of qi and magical energy that has been infused into it, Résoudre can be considered an extension of Aurelius himself. Because it is almost metaphysically part of him, it is also a perfect vessel for his Bastion of Heroism drive which can make it infinitely powerful, though this is very reliant on certain conditions. Résoudre was incredibly heavy and best suited for either being used with two hands or on horseback, though Aurelius could use it with a single hand as though it weighed nothing. The spear had three forms: a normal base form, a holy form, and a demonic form and which form it was in affected the sword's appearance and which of its nature was stronger. Résoudre later gained two additional forms one that focused his Bastion of Heroism into it and a final one that let it use both holy and demonic sides at the same time and without compromising on each other. Aurelius most frequently used it on it's own, but he could also use it with his shield.
*Immense Cutting Power: Résoudre had an immense piercing, slashing, and cutting power that allowed it to cut and pierce through almost anything it was used against.
**Dimensional Cutting: Résoudre could cut through dimensions, allowing for long-range attacks and the ability to cut portals that could be traveled through. This also allowed Résoudre to be thrust into a target from a distance away by opening a portal close to the target.
*Immense Durability: While not indestructible, Résoudre is far more durable than the average spear and was one of the few weapons that could withstand his full power.
*Anti-Magic Properties: Résoudre had some anti-magic properties that allowed it to defend against magic to a certain extent. It could dispel some magical spells and most weak magical spells were negated when they were cast on the blade.
*Anti-Dragon Properties: As a result of having been used to fight and kill dragons several times, Résoudre was imbued with Anti-Dragon properties which allow it to harm them much more easily.
*Anti-Divine Properties: As a result of having been used to fight and kill Divine entities several times, Résoudre was imbued with Anti-Divine Properties which allowed it to harm divine spirits and related beings much more easily.
* Holy Magic: As a holy spear, Résoudre was imbued with a number of holy abilities which gave it immense power.
**Anti-Evil Properties: Résoudre harmed anything that was "evil" and touched it. It repelled all evil magics and hurt those who could be considered evil.
**Holy Light: As a holy spear, Résoudre could emit holy light which allowed it to grievously harm anything demonic, monstrous, evil, or otherwise unholy. This holy light can be focused to create slashes or thrusts that go great distances or even spear beams.
*Demonic Magic: As a demonic spear, Résoudre was imbued with a number of demonic abilities which gave it immense power.
**Demonic Energy: As a demonic spear, Résoudre was imbued with demonic energy that gave it power. Résoudre did more damage to anything that was not resistant to it and it could counter weaker holy magic. This demonic energy can be focused to create slashes or thrusts that go great distances or even spear beams.
** Blood Magic: Résoudre was imbued with blood magic which gave it several abilities. Résoudre could absorb the blood of its targets to get more powerful. Résoudre could also be used as a tracker as it tracked the blood of its victims.
** Life Reaping:
*Elemental Magic: Résoudre was imbued with elemental magic which gave it a number of abilities. The element or combination of elements being used was indicated by the color of the runes along the blade. These runes not only created the elements, but they also amplified Aurelius' natural elemental affinities thus making it his elemental magic stronger when channeled through his weapon. 
**Fire Magic: Résoudre was imbued with the magical element of fire. This allowed the lance to be set ablaze and launch fire attacks, even acting as a sort of flamethrower. The spear's runes turned red when using this element.
** Ice Magic: Résoudre was imbued with the magical element of ice. This allowed it to freeze things and it could even act similarly to a staff to create ice constructs. The spear's runes turned into a light blue when using this element.
**Earth Magic: Résoudre was imbued with earth magic which allowed it to manipulate the earth, cause small earthquakes, and create dust and sandstorms. The spear's runes turned brown when using this element.
**Wind Magic: Résoudre was imbued with the magical element of wind. This allowed the spear to fire large gusts of wind, create tornadoes, launch razor wind, or envelop itself to turn the spearhead invisible. The spear's runes turned green when using this element.
**Lightning Magic: Résoudre was imbued with lightning magic which allowed it to channel and absorb electricity, act as a sort of taser, and shoot lightning bolts from it. The spear's runes turned yellow when using this element.
**Water Magic: Résoudre was imbued with the magical element of water. This allowed the spear to fire generate water to be used for attacks and it could also be used to create holy water. The spear's runes turned into a dark blue when using this element.
**Poison Magic: Résoudre was imbued with poison in the blade so that it poisoned anyone struck by it. This poison also interfered in the healing factors of others, causing wounds to last for longer than they normally should. The spear's runes turned purple when using this element.
*Shapeshifting: The shaft for Résoudre could telescope, which adjusted the length of the spear. It could shift between a portable mode, a short sword-like form, a javelin, a short spear, lance, and pike.
* Return: Whenever Résoudre was separated from Aurelius, he could always will it back to him. Aurelius merely needs to will it to be and it will either fly back into his hand or materialize in it.
*Exceed Ability- Lance of Duality
*Limit Breaker-
Lance of Michael (S++ Rank): The Lance of MIchael was the personal lance of Saint Michael. The Lance was one of the strongest holy spears to ever exist. Aurelius was initially only able to use the lance while using his Prince of Heaven Drive, though after fusing with Michael permanently he was able to use it whenever he wished.
Tridentum Sinistrum (S++ Rank): Tridentum Sinistrum was the demonic trident of Lucifer. Tridentum Sinistrum is one of the strongest demonic spears to ever exist. Aurelius was initially only able to use the trident while using his Prince of Darkness Drive, though after fusing with Lucifer permanently he was able to use it whenever he wished.
Sonnenschein (A+ Rank): Sonnenschein was a legendary morningstar/flail that had been passed down the Lyons family for generations. It has a variety of magical properties, though only in the hands of someone worthy of its power. Its true power comes from someone with the blood of the Lyons family, though the user must undergo a trial to prove they are worthy of their full potential. At full power, it is a weapon that even the Satans fear. The abilities of Sonnenschein are as follows:
*Indestructible: Sonnenschein could never be damaged or broken.
*Shapeshifting: The chain of Sonnenschein could retract and elongate through magical means. This allowed Sonnenschein to be as long as its user needed it to be. This chain could also be fully retracted so that it was a Morningstar that could be used as a cudgel.
*Holy Fire: In the hands of someone worthy, Sonnenschein can create and manipulate holy fire. This fire does not act as regular fire, being unable to be put out and scorching the soul of its target along with its body. In the hands of a Lyons, the whip itself can turn into a flaming weapon that harms anything not worthy to touch it and creates massive blasts of fire.
**Explosion: When used by a Lyons, Sonnenschein's holy fire can instead be explosions. While it still behaves much the same as holy fire, it is the form of an explosion. Anything of a monstrous or demonic nature that is hit by Sonnenschein explodes from the inside, and this explosion hurts anything in the radius. This can be used to create a chain reaction of explosions which was very useful for fighting hordes of monsters.
*Anti-Evil Properties: Sonnenschein harmed anything that was "evil" and touched it. It repelled all evil magics and hurt those who could be considered evil.
* Anti-Magic Properties: Sonnenschein was unaffected by almost any magic that was cast on it and it could dispel most spells it was used against.
Lux et Umbra (A++ Rank): Lux et Umbra are a pair of custom pistols that Aurelius uses. Although most monsters and mages make conventional firearms almost worthless, Lux et Umbra were magical weapons and their ammunition consisted of enchanted bullets which allowed them to remain useful. Lux is white and gold and has holy properties while Umbra is black and red and has demonic properties. They have a 15-round capacity each and fire magical bullets, elemental bullets, silver bullets, and quicksilver bullets. Lux et Umbra are extremely powerful and have an insane rate of fire, being meant to be able to take down massive monsters, demons, and superhuman opponents through their power and speed. Aurelius joked that they put the "cannon" in the word "hand cannon". Few people can use them as their recoil and weight are too much for most people to handle with two hands, let alone dual-wielding. Anyone unprepared to use them is liable to break their wrists firing them. They were designed for mid-to-low range and had high rates of fire while maintaining their strength. Aurelius began to use them less and less as time went on out of his preference for using melee weapons or his magic to the point of rarely ever pulling them out as it was simply faster and more efficient to close the distance or use a spell and he was more partial to using Telum thanks to the more advanced magic he could use with it.
Telum (B++ Rank): Telum was Aurelius' bow. It was a massive longbow with extremely high tensile strength that required an immense amount of strength to pull back. Aurelius has proven capable of being able to fire multiple arrows with extreme speed almost like a machine gun or sniping from extremely long distances away, being able to fire from hundreds of meters away. Aurelius primarily creates energy arrows which he creates from his mana, though he also uses a variety of arrows including regular arrows, silver arrows, and magic arrows (primarily fire, ice, wind, electricity, light, and darkness).
Combat Cross (C+ Rank): The Combat Cross is a large bladed cross that acts like a mixture between a shuriken and a boomerang. The blades are silver-plated and the weapon itself is consecrated, making it more effective against monsters and demons and it was good for clearing out large amounts of them. The Combat Cross is a standard tool of the Holy Knights, though Aurelius has infused his with mystical power which gave it the ability to use fire, wind, ice, and electric magic.
Blessed Throwing Swords (D++ Rank): Aurelius makes use of the special throwing swords used by the Church's Inquisitors. These swords are not meant to be used for swordplay, but instead made to be thrown. They are specifically used to fight against monsters and demons as they are silver blades made through a special forging process. Aurelius is quite adept at using them, being able to throw them with enough force to pierce through steel and even use them as close-range weapons despite them not being meant for such. Aurelius usually uses his art, Weaponsmith, to create them or pull them out using Inventory.
Throwing Knives: Aurelius has an assortment of different throwing knives that he can make use of. They were meant for use against people, and a few were covered in a non-lethal poison that would subdue enemies instantly, though he also carried a few lethal poisons. They were faster and easier to throw than his throwing axes or pilum, but were much weaker and didn't build up as much momentum. Aurelius usually uses his art, Weaponsmith, to create them or pull them out using Inventory.
Throwing Axes: Aurelius had used throwing axes many times. They were more powerful than his throwing knives and pilum and they had a special arc when thrown, but they were not as fast or accurate, nor did they build up as much momentum. Aurelius has been shown to throw them with enough force to cut through multiple monsters or even people with a single throw. Aurelius usually uses his art, Weaponsmith, to create them or pull them out using Inventory.
Pilum: Pilum were throwing spears or javelins. Aurelius has been shown to use them effectively, being able to throw them with enough force to pierce through steel or completely impale multiple monsters and even people. They were more powerful than his throwing knives and built up more momentum than his knives and axes, but were not as powerful as his axes or as fast or easy to throw as his knives. Aurelius usually uses his art, Weaponsmith, to create them or pull them out using Inventory.
Bombs: Aurelius carries a variety of bombs and grenades for different purposes and situations. Aurelius usually uses his art, Weaponsmith, to create them or pull them out using Inventory.
*Frag Grenades
*Fire Bombs
*Ice Bombs
*Lightning Bombs
*Gravity Bombs
*Flashbangs
*Fear Bombs
*Tear Gas
*Poison Bombs: Aurelius had a few bombs filled with poison that affected anyone who breathed in the fumes. Aurelius had a few variations that ranged from low-lethality to high-lethality.
*Sleeping Gas Bombs:
*Smoke Grenades
*Trip Mines
* Cherry Bombs
* Sticky Bombs 
Caltrops: Aurelius carried a few caltrops for a few uses. Aurelius usually uses his art, Weaponsmith, to create them or pull them out using Inventory.
Sword Arrows: Using his magic and arts, Aurelius began creating what he called "sword arrows" which were heavily modified swords or lances that he could fire from his bow as heavy-duty arrows. Aurelius could imbue these sword arrows with a variety of properties like explosion or homing which gave them several magical effects.
*Hrunting Arrow: Using his Weapon Tracing art, Aurelius was able to create a version of Beowulf's sword Hrunting that took the shape of a sword arrow. It had all of the properties of Hrunting, including its blood tracking one. Because of this, Hrunting could be used as a sort of tracking arrow that chased after bleeding opponents.
====Duplicated Weapons ====
Arondight (A++ Rank): Arondight was the legendary sword of Sir Lancelot du Lac. 
Ascalon (A+ Rank): Ascalon was the legendary sword/spear of Saint George of Lydda. It was a magical weapon that could shift between the form of a sword or spear, depending on the needs of the user. It appeared as a modified spatha, though the hilt extended when in spear form which caused it to appear more like a glaive. As a holy weapon, it can fire blasts of holy light and is effective against monsters and demons. It is also a Dragon Slayer and as such is effective at killing dragons. It also can dispel magic, cut through any armor, temporarily imbue people with the essence of a dragon (it does not give them the power of a dragon, only the attributes of one which makes Ascalon able to hurt them more), and grants the user temporary invincibility.
Balmung: Balmung is the legendary zweihander of Sigurd Fafnesbane, later being used by his partial reincarnation Siegfried von Nibelung.
Broyeur (B Rank): Broyeur was a war hammer that originally belonged to Charles Martel, but was used by Charles Lyons. It is an enormous hammer meant to be used with two hands, though Aurelius usually wields it with one. It was designed to smash through armor, and he often dual-wielded it with a weapon meant for piercing. It was a magical weapon that was much more powerful than a war hammer should normally be. With Aurelius' strength and its magic, it could smash almost anything.
Caliburn: Caliburn was one the Swords of Avalon having been most famous as the sword used by Uther Pendragon, Arthur Pendragon, and Victoria Pendragon-Lyons.
Caliburnus: Caliburnus was the longsword of Richard the Lionheart, which was later used by his reincarnation, Richard Lyons.
Colère (B+ Rank): Colère was the battle axe of Richard the Lionheart, which was used by his reincarnation, Richard Lyons. It was a rather large and heavy Dane Axe with a head that weighed more than 30 pounds. Despite its weight, Aurelius could swing it with one hand as though it weighed nothing, though he almost always used both hands for it. While it was a rather simple axe when all things were considered, it was also useful as a tool in the ways that all axes were. It had runes for fire, ice, and electric magic and it always returned to his hands when thrown. It was never one of Aurelius' favorite weapons, but he was proficient in its use and it was very useful whenever Aurelius needed an extra heavy weapon or a tool.
Collbrande
Crocea Mors: Crocea Mors was the legendary gladius of Julius Caesar, later used by his reincarnation Giulio Cesare.
Durandal: Durandal was the legendary longsword of Sir Roland, later used by his reincarnation Roland Lyons.
Excalibur: Excalibur is the most powerful holy sword to exist and was most famously used by Arthur Pendragon.
Failnaught: Failnaught was the legendary bow of Sir Tristan.
Gram: Gram was the legendary longsword of Sigurd Fafnesbane, later used by his partial reincarnation Sigurd von Nibelung.
Hrunting: Hrunting was a magic sword most famously used by Beowulf, later used by his reincarnation Bjorn Drakkenberg 
Joyeuse (S++ Rank): Joyeuse was the legendary sword of Charlemagne, which was used by his reincarnation, Charles Lyons. Although it was not passed down to Aurelius (instead going to his eldest sister, as she was the heir of the French throne), Aurelius has used it before and it is part of his weapon duplicates. As a weapon he has had constant exposure to, Aurelius can copy it identically to the original and a relatively cheap cost considering how powerful it is. Joyeuse is a large and ornate flame bladed longsword that is about 5 and a half feet long and weighed 15 lbs. It was the sister sword of Durandal and Cortana, and is one of the finest holy swords ever created, having been made with a duplicate of the Lance of Longinus. Joyeuse has a number of different magical abilities including the ability to shift into a lance and create 12 phantasmal copies of itself. Joyeuse is considered an equal to Durandal and Excalibur.
Mace of Odo (B Rank): The Mace of Odo was the mace that Odo of Bayeux, later used by the reincarnation of his brother, William Lyons. It was an ornate and heavy flanged mace designed for use with one hand. It was a holy weapon and thus was consecrated for use against demons, monsters, and evil beings.
Rhongomyniad: Rhongomyniad was the legendary holy lance of Arthur Pendragon.
Sanson (B+ Rank): Sanson was the executioner sword of France, most famously wielded by Charles-Henri Sanson who it is named after. While a normal sword in almost all aspects, it's true power is in its Exceed ability. When activated, any contact the sword has with its target will result in a decapitation. Unless the target has some sort of strong magical protection, then their head will be removed from their body without any possible way to survive.
====Former Weapons====
Luna Mortem (B- Rank): Luna Mortem is a consecrated whip that Aurelius owned. It was a very long whip of about five feet long and had a silver tip that made it very effective against monsters and demons, though the whole whip was consecrated as well. It had magical properties and was a powerful holy weapon. After getting Sonnenschein from his father, Aurelius retired Luna Mortem.
* Immense Durability
*Anti-Monster Properties
*Holy Fire: Luna Mortem could set itself on fire and launch fireballs. This fire does not act as regular fire, being unable to be put out and scorching the soul of its target along with its body.
Lance of Longinus (S++/EX Rank): The Lance of Longinus was the ultimate holy spear and one of the most powerful weapons to ever exist, representing the love and wrath of God. It had a great many abilities and was capable of great destruction and great healing. Aurelius was gifted the Lance after the death of Pope Alexander X which he used to defeat the demonic army invading Rome. Although Aurelius can use the spear and is well suited to it, Aurelius voluntarily let Eleanora use it as it matched better with her.
===Equipment===
====Current====
Hookshot: Aurelius had wrist-mounted devices that acted as grappling hooks. The hookshots fired a line that, through magic, was as long as it needed to be thus allowing Aurelius to tether to a person or object and zip to them extremely quickly. They could also be used as a weapon, though it was not meant to be used that way.
Chevalier Armor: The Chevalier Armor was Aurelius' magical suit of armor, meant to be extremely defensive and powerful. It was fashioned after plate armor, though it acts much like a suit of power armor. It is one of the greatest suits of armor the modern era has ever produced and mixes the arcane arts with modern knowledge. It is virtually indestructible and is resistant to all kinds of magic, even being able to handle him at full power when any other piece of armor would be instantly destroyed. Despite being a full suit of armor, it weighed next to nothing and didn't hamper Aurelius' agility. The armor also changes form depending on Aurelius' needs. It is a fusion of modern technology and magical means. Aurelius could materialize it whenever he needed it and remove it just as easily. The armor changed to accommodate the form he was in.
*Immense Durability: Although the armor is not unbreakable, the Chevalier could take extreme amounts of damage without even a single scratch or dent. It would take blows from the strongest beings in the universe in order to damage it slightly.
*Hookshot: The gauntlets of the Chevalier Armor had inbuilt versions of his hookshots. They functioned identically to his independent versions, simply being part of his armor by themselves.
*Strength Enhancers: Aurelius' armor used magic to enhance his strength greatly, including both his striking and lifting strength.
* Hidden Blade: Both of Aurelius' gauntlets have hidden blades in the wrists coming from the bottom. They are both about the size of short swords when they are fully extended. Aurelius also has smaller blades in his boots.
*Hidden Gun: Both of Aurelius' gauntlets have in-built guns. They are not very powerful but are useful for surprise or as a last resort. They can fire specialized rounds and darts for a variety of effects.
*Claws: Aurelius' gauntlets and boots could extend claws which could used as weapons or to help him scale surfaces.
* Elemental Magic: The armor was imbued with elemental magic which it could use for a variety of effects. While these runes could be used by themselves, they were mostly used to enhance Aurelius' natural elemental affinities, multiplying the power he already had.
**Fire: The armor could emit blasts of fire. This allowed Aurelius to burn things by touching them and launch fire attacks. Aurelius often focused it into his gauntlets and legs so he could burn things whilst fighting unarmed.
**Ice: The armor could emit blasts of ice and frost. This allowed Aurelius to freeze things by touching them and create ice constructs. Aurelius often focused it into his gauntlets and legs so he could freeze things whilst fighting unarmed.
**Lightning: The armor could emit a blast of magical lightning acting as a taser. While the entire suit of armor allowed him to electrify it for defense, he could also focus the electricity in his gauntlets for focused attacks.
*Camouflage: Aurelius' armor can camouflage itself with its surroundings, essentially turning him invisible. It also helped dampen his magical energy and qi so that they were not easily picked up.
*Flight: Aurelius' armor could emit two mechanical wings and had thrusters in the boots that allowed Aurelius the ability to fly.
*In-Built Phone & Computer: The helmet acts essentially like a phone or radio, allowing him to make calls, access the internet, accurately measure his and his allies' energy levels, and other features in the form of a Heads-Up Display.
*Sensors: The helmet has a variety of sensors that allow Aurelius to keep track of relevant information.
*Flashlights: The Helmet had in-built flashlights so that Aurelius could light up areas. Although he himself did not need them, they were useful for other people.
*Rebreather: Aurelius' helmet had an in-built rebreather that allowed him to swim without worrying about running out of oxygen. It also functioned as a gas mask.
*Self-Repairing: Aurelius' armor repairs itself using his magical energy in a process similar to his regenerative healing factor. While the armor can be momentarily destroyed, it will eventually repair itself such that it was never destroyed in the first place. It takes time for this to occur and if destroyed badly enough it could take weeks for it to restore itself. Aurelius is unable to heal himself and regenerate the armor at the same time, having to prioritize one over the other.
*Alteration: The armor changes size based on the wearer through magic. Depending on the form he was taking, the armor would also change appearance to reflect that.
* Hard-Light Shield: Aurelius' left gauntlet contained a hard-light shield. It could shift sizes from a buckler, heater shield, and kite shield depending on the purpose. Aurelius could also fire the shield like a projectile. While not as useful as his personal shield, Rempart, or his magical shields, but it was useful for quick uses.
*Magic Resistance: The armor has immense magic resistance similar to Aurelius' own magic resistance. While it can not be turned into an anti-magic field, it eliminates stronger magics than Aurelius' innate resistance.
*Weightlessness and Articulation: Despite looking extremely heavy and restrictive, through magic the armor was completely weightless and Aurelius had full articulation. This allowed Aurelius to move at top speed and agility without any trouble, almost as though he wasn't wearing armor at all. This aspect could be shut off which made the armor quite heavy and more restrictive, but still fully functional and usable.
* Silence: The armor made no noise unlike rattling plate armor. As long as the wearer is making efforts to be silent, the armor will not make any additional noise.
*Transmutation Circles: The gauntlets had transmutation circles on them which allowed Aurelius to quickly use combat alchemy.
Rempart: Rempart was Aurelius' magical shield that was given to him by Morgan le Fay. Rempart was made out of adamantine and had various blessings, enchantments, and runes on it to make it very powerful. The edges of the shield were also sharpened which could be used offensively. Aurelius has used the shield for a variety of purposes, even using it as a makeshift surf/snowboard. Aurelius rarely physically carried it, instead materializing it on his arm when he needed it. Rempart was strapped to his forearm, leaving his hand free for punches, grappels, or dual wielding weapons. The shield had his personal crest on the front. The abilities of the shield are as follows:
*Indestructible: Rempart was unable to be destroyed or extensively damaged. Even the most destructive attacks would not leave a scratch on it.
*Anti-Magic: Most magics that were blocked by the shield were defended against causing those spells to either be reduced to lesser levels or nullified completely.
*Barrier: Rempart could emit a barrier that acted as a larger shield and protected anything the barrier was in front of. This barrier could also be turned into a dome. It was essentially a bounded field that the shield could release.
*Reflection: Rempart reflected light like a mirror and could reflect certain magic and energy attacks, bounding them back at the attacker.
*Runic Magic: The shield had a variety of runes on it that gave it a variety of effects. It could unleash an indiscriminate blast of elemental magic as an attack. This meant it had fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, darkness, and gravity.
*Shapeshifting: Rempart could shift forms into a variety of different types of shields. This includes a buckler, round shield, heater shield, kite shield, and tower shield. Aurelius has also transformed into a sled, surfboard, snowboard, and sandboard.
*Shock Absorption: Rempart could absorb the kinetic energy that was inflected against it and launch that energy as an attack.
*Spikes: Rempart could emit spikes from the front and sides for additional damage. Whenever someone Aurelius didn't approve of so much as touched the shield, a spike would appear to impale them.
Drapeau Rayonnant: Drapeau Rayonnant was a flag that Aurelius used. It was a simple flagpole with a blue flag that had his personal emblem emblazoned in the front with gold that he used to rally those under his leadership. The flagpole was pointed at the end, allowing Aurelius to use it as a makeshift spear and the flag itself was very conducive for his magic, making it a surprisingly capable staff. Aurelius got the idea from his younger sister Jeanne as she fought with a flag as her main weapon.
Grimoire of Avalon: As a gift, Morgan le Fay gave Aurelius a copy of her Grimoire that contained a variety of spells. The book itself was filled with magical energy which made it indestructible and act as a generator for mana. Aurelius often flipped through it to use more advanced spells that he didn't know off the top of his head or in emergencies when he didn't have the necessary mana.
Holy Bible: Aurelius owned a copy of the Bible that was imbued with holy magic. Reciting passages from the Bible acted as performing incantation which performed different holy spells and blessings. It was essentially spell book but for holy magic only. It was a gift from his uncle Alexandre who as a Grand Inquisitor had several.
Lyons Family Bestiary: Aurelius owned a copy of his family's bestiary and he often wrote noted in it to edit and revise the entries. It had entries on nearly every single type of creature in the world.
Holo-Phone: Aurelius owned a top of the line Holo-Phone made from the finest magitech available. It worked similar to an ordinary smartphone, though it could also project holograms that could be interacted with and thanks to magic did not need to rely on regular cell service. 
Cross Necklace: Aurelius wore his grandmother's cross necklace around his neck almost all the time. The rubies of the necklace were secretly filled with mana, making it useful as a component for emergency spells. As it is a cross shape and is primarily made of silver, it has an effect on undead and unholy beings such as vampires. 
Hunting Knife: Aurelius carried his grandfather's hunting knife with him. It was slightly smaller than a Bowie Knife and was used for skinning and dressing game. The handle was made from a stag's antler. While it could be used as a weapon, it was not meant to and it has too much sentimental value for Aurelius to use it as such.
Lucifer's Violin: Aurelius owned Lucifer's violin. It was a magical instrument that could not be damaged, tuned itself, and could act as a channel for magical energy.
Lys Blanc: Lys Blanc was Aurelius' favorite acoustic guitar. It was a twelve-string classical guitar with a white body and his house symbol on the corner. While it was an ordinary guitar, Aurelius could use magic music with it by imbuing it with magic or using songs as incantations.
Éclair Argenté: Éclair Argenté was Aurelius' favorite electric guitar. It was a heavily modified Stratocaster that Aurelius made himself and it had a range of distortion pedals that he used for different styles of music. While it was an ordinary guitar, Aurelius could use magic music with it by imbuing it with magic or using songs as incantations.
First-Aid Kit: Aurelius carries a first-aid kit with him with a variety of objects such as bandages, gauze, thread, needles, antiseptic, and more.
Canteen: Aurelius carries a canteen with him that was often filled with water. It was rather large and ornate metal canteen with white steel and golden embellishments, having his personal symbol engraved on the front and back.
Holy Water Vials: Aurelius carried a few vials filled with Holy Water which is useful for purification rituals or for use against monsters.
Potions: Aurelius carried several vials filled with potions. Aurelius brewed some of them himself, though they were mostly ones that Annaliese made for him or he bought somewhere.
* Healing Potion: Aurelius usually carried a few healing potions, mostly for emergencies we couldn't afford to waste time healing others or waiting for his healing factor kick in for himself. They had a range of potencies and some did not need to be consumed in order to be effective, with a few only needing to be exposed to a person's body to be effective. The types of healing potions and how potent they were was detailed by the labels. They apparently taste like strawberry soda.
Coursier d'Acier: Coursier d'Acier was Aurelius' motorcycle. Although Aurelius vastly preferred travel by horseback, there were situations where he used a regular vehicle instead, with Coursier being his go to for these. It was an entirely custom motorcycle that was modeled to be functional at extremely high speeds as well for immense durability, being very heavily armored. Aurelius was one of the few people who could truly use it at max potential as it was impractical for a normal rider, most people simply lack the strength to maneuver it or the durability to withstand going at top speed for long. Coursier was one of the fastest vehicles in the world and it had a nitro boost in it to make it faster. Using his magic, Aurelius has been able to push it so at extremely fast speeds that dwarf most jet planes and boost its durability to make it functional. The way that Aurelius can ride using Coursier d'Acier defies all known laws of physics as something so fast should not be maneuverable, but Aurelius handles it just fine and has even ridden up the side of buildings or ceilings. It may be the most powerful motorcycle in existince. 
Lucifer's Chariot: Aurelius came to possess Lucifer's chariot which he used during the War in Heaven. It was an ornate chariot adorned with gold, jewels, crosses, and images of cherubs. It was pulled by four phantasmal white horses, including his horse Faith. The chariot could shapeshift, being able to hold only himself to as many as being able to comfortably fit eight people with no problems. The chariot was able to fly and did so at incredibly fast speeds, able to cross the world in less than a few hours at full speed. The chariot could emit blasts of both holy flames and holy light which could be used both defensively and offensively. The sides of the chariot had blades and the wheels were spiked. There was a protective barrier within the coach which defended those within it from outside forces such as wind or debris (allowing people to survive going at top speed in an open vehicle) and acted as a shield against outside attacks. Aurelius simply had to whistle for him to summon the chariot and the horses attached to it. 
====Former====
Aurelius' Armor: Aurelius' armor were armor pieces that Aurelius wore. They were magic resistant, but otherwise were just normal armor pieces. Aurelius' armor consisted of a cuirass and gauntlets, though his boots were reinforced with metal both for extra offense and for a little extra defense. Aurelius would later add some additions such as spaulders, couters, vambraces, and poleyns. They were only a few pieces of light armor that gave him some extra protection while allowing him to stay very agile. After he began using the Chevalier Armor, Aurelius retired his old armor pieces.

====Nicolas Lyons====
Nicolas was Aurelius' father, idol, and one of his mentors.
====Victoria Lyons ====
Victoria was Aurelius' mother, idol, and one of his mentors. Aurelius was always very close to his mother and was noted to be a complete "momma's boy", though he protested being labeled as such. Aurelius still referred to his mother as "mummy" and "mama" when speaking to her, though he was embarrassed to do so in front of others, strictly calling her "mother" and was flustered when pressed about it.
==== Eleanora Griffith ====
==== Annaliese Linhardt von Arnim ====

=== Mentors and Teachers ===
==== Headmaster Henkel ====
==== Primrose Wren ====
Primrose Wren was the head nurse of Bastion. With the many injuries that Aurelius accumulated throughout his school career, Aurelius spent a lot of time in her clinic. Prim joked that Aurelius had spent so much time there that she had a bed reserved for him. Aurelius would learn first aid and other medicinal skills from her class. Aurelius was Prim's favorite student and in turn, Aurelius considered Prim to be one of his favorite teachers. Prim seemed to hold some romantic feelings for Aurelius at least a little bit, though she never acted on them and thought it was wrong of her to have them.

* Aurelius is banned from playing strategy games with his friends, much to his displeasure and he frequently complains that it was unfair.
*Aurelius preferred cold weather to hot weather both due to loving the feeling of the cool air and because he could always add more layers to feel warm, while there would eventually be a limit of layers he could remove to be cool. Aurelius didn't hate warm weather by any means but he would rather be cold.
**Aurelius disliked sand, claiming that it was "coarse, rough, irritating, and gets everywhere."
*Aurelius was the moderator of the team's group chat. Janet, Eleanora, Sétanta, and Karolina compared his method of running the server to a dictator ruling with an iron fist. Aurelius did not appreciate the insinuation that making his friends follow the basic rules he made to be anything close to tyrannical.
*Aurelius' handwriting was immaculate and his friends believed that he had the best they had ever seen.
*Aurelius' favorite spots at Bastion were the Hall of Heroes, the farmhouse and stables, and Saint George's Cathedral. Aurelius often went to the hall to think, and often spoke to the statues of his ancestors. Aurelius spent much of his time at the farmhouse to care for Faith and often helped the farm workers. Aurelius often went to the cathedral to pray and went there every Sunday morning for church service.
*Despite his healing factor, Aurelius has pierced earlobes and often wears earrings. Aurelius states that this is a result of Morgan's magic, and he asked her to pierce his ears for him so that they wouldn't close.
*Aurelius jokes that his demonic power is not because of Lucifer, but because he is the unholy offspring of a Frenchman and a British woman.
* Aurelius states that if he was unable to achieve his dream of becoming a sentinel or knight, he likely would have pursued a career as a doctor, priest, or musician.
* Aurelius took exception to being called English, always correcting people who called him that by stating that he was French and Welsh. Aurelius was aware that his accent hid that fact, but was adamant that he was not English and was mildly offended by being described as such.
*Aurelius didn't like celebrating his birthday traditionally. Aurelius liked to keep celebrations small and simple with only his close friends and family involved. Aurelius also insisted on cooking and baking for his loved ones, often making their favorite dishes, as he found it more rewarding than doing nothing. Aurelius was also rather bashful about receiving gifts.
