Jared Kaos (MLII)

"Mari. My dear sister. We did so much to be here. To be standing right where we are. To fight for the ones that we love so much. However, you wanted to do something very dangerous. You wanted to give your own life away, just to save the ones who brought life to both of us. You did your best to convince me that you are doing the right thing. But I saw through your facade. I saw how scared you were. I noticed your uncertainty, your desire to step back and live your life the way you did before. You wanted to stop and be with those who are still alive. You wanted to be one with the family that you have. But you failed. Your wildest desires left you vulnerable and unsure. And then, you did it. You sacrificed your own life... and you managed to save the lives of our own parents. You parted ways with a life and managed to save two of them. You brought them back to life and now, they are with us. We are happy and safe, just like you wanted us to be. And we owe all of this to you. But do not think that I am mad at you. That I hate you for what you did. No. I still love you. And I always will. Because a brother will never be angry at his sister, no matter what she does and how much she neglects her own life. I think that your actions brought us hope for the future ahead of us and that you are a true hero. You mattered so much to everyone, but you did the right thing to save those who did so much for you. And for that, I bow my head and thank you. And I will keep the promise that I made on the day when we parted ways. Even if the whole world forgets about you, I will still remember you. I will still remember what you did for us. And I will always cherish all of the good memories that we had... until the end of time and even beyond that. I love you, Mari."- Jared's words to his late sister. (MLII C8, P9- "A Star Is Born")Jared Whitevale Kaos (ジャレド ・カオス- Kaosu Jaredo) is the Protagonist of "Miracula Luxia II". He is also a Main Character in the Story.
He is a young hero who has defeated countless enemies that threatened the safety of both Avernum and the Surface (With the help of his allies, of course). 
Now, as a growing young man, he is slowly becoming more and more aware of his surroundings and vows to protect the good people who are endangered by the actions of his foolhardy enemies- both the Darkside Loyalists and Rentar-Ihrno's Vahnatai (As well as a few other powerful foes that will be revealed in the future), becoming stronger and more determined, performing good deeds and protecting the world from evil.
At the end of "Miracula Luxia II", he also becomes the father of future protagonist Adam Kaos, and in the Story's sequel- "Miracula Luxia II: The Bond", it is revealed that he is also the father of his loyal sister- the gorgeous Akira Kaos.
== Overview ==
The most important character from "Miracula Luxia"- Jared Kaos, returns in this brand new series!
Having suffered even more heart-shattering losses, Jared becomes even more determined, vengeful and vows to defeat the Vahnatai and the Darkside Loyalists at all costs- all in the name of the innocents that they have slain, that are patiently waiting to be avenged.
In "Miracula Luxia II", Jared is going to grow even further than before, showing signs of maturity that are only seen in people far above his age. He vows to become even stronger than before, both physically and emotionally, in order to show his enemies what is going to happen if they mess with Jared Kaos and his allies.
And he is always ready to keep the world safe from evil, no matter whom he has to face.
== Personality ==
Jared is the embodiment of a true hero. He is a very kindhearted person who is always eager to help people in need. Having acquired the traits of a hero from a very young age and being hardened by all the losses he had to endure years ago, his actions often show maturity that is far beyond his age.
Although the young hero sacrifices all of his emotions in order to become a better defender of the world, he is still prone to emotions when something happens to someone around him (Especially if that someone is close to him). In that case, he cannot help, but succumb to his emotions and become helpless for a very short amount of time. However, what is special about him is that he does not fully succumb to his emotions and still retains his brave attitude, knowing that his allies still need his help and that he should not let them down. At all costs.
Jared has the true qualities of a leader, maybe even of one who is ready to lead a whole army into battle. He is patient, smart and very brave, always ready to help lead his team towards victory. His fighting abilies are valued by every good person that he has ever met in his adventures, no matter if they know him personally or not.
Overall, Jared is the kind of hero who is only rarely seen among others. A smart, independent boy whose heart is truly pure and can never be tainted by the darkness around him, even when he is too weak to emotionally defend himself from it.
Because of all those priceless qualities, Jared has become an inspiration to many young people and motivated them to do good deeds and be better people, just like him. He has also impressed many older people and helped them realize that the evil around the world is not impossible to defeat, no matter how much of a threat it is to its residents.
== Inspiration ==
The creator of this Story (AleksProdzBG) says:
"Basically, every great hero that has ever existed in any universe is a huge inspiration for the creation of Jared's character. Especially that one character whom I respect and enjoy watching very much. Many of you might be aware of the existence of "The Walking Dead" and tis Protagonist- Rick Grimes. Yes. He is my greatest inspiration, the character whom I view as the greatest survivor of all time. Sure, he made a lot of mistakes during the time when he possessed this role in both the Comic and the TV Show. He lost a lot of friends and members of his family. However, in the end, he still managed to do the impossible. He united everyone and made the world a better place. And it is the same for my character- Jared. His best efforts to contain the chaos have proven him to be a hero amongst those that he always protects from harm. In the end, he created a new world for his son and everything went back to normal- just like it used to be before everything went down. In my eyes, both Jared and Rick are hardened survivors. Both of them are respectful of those who deserve it, sometimes even more than they actually do. Both of them are eager to do whatever they can to save their people and protect their homes from evil. Both of them are key figures who deserve all the respect that they are given for their actions. No matter what people will think about them, they will always stand tall among the ground and leave their names in the land below for many more years to come. And this is way more than enough to prove that there are still heroes in those godforsaken worlds where numerous characters live and try to fight for their own lives."

== Traits ==
Here is a list of abilities that describe Jared's fighting persona.
* Divine Lineage: One of Jared's ancestors was blessed by the gods. It seems like this blessing runs through the family. Divine blood runs through his veins and makes tedious tasks (Such as fighting enemies and defending settlements) much easier than they would be for a normal human. The more time Jared dedicates to mastering his divine abilities, the better the effect on his entire being would be. 
* Inhuman Magery: Unlike many members of the Kaos family, Jared possesses an innate ability to cast magic, although he rarely gets the chance to do so. When he does, however, his abilities get very powerful and are able to deal devastating damage to the opponent. Jared is also able to enhance his magical abilities once he has started to cast spells, effectively making his magic stronger than any other character in the series.
* Superhuman Intelligence: Jared often has to use his intellect to outsmart his enemies in battle, especially when there are too many for him to fight with a sheer force of will. A good example is the time when Jared was forced to find the Slithzerikai headquarters all by himself. Normally, it would take an entire month (If not more) for an entire army to decode the information on the map and discover the exact spot where the fortress is located. However, it only takes a few days for Jared to discover the exact location of the fort and a few more days to outsmart the Slithzerikai around the river and find a seaworthy vessel that will allow him to get past the lake and reach it. His inhuman intelligence is, without a doubt, one of the few traits that has allowed him to stay alive and defeat many powerful enemies (Like Dorikas, Rentar-Ihrno and Ess-Kalyn) who have posed a hard challenge for those who have tried to defeat them before.
* Element Mastery- LIGHT: Jared has the innate ability to cast light-attribute spells, inherited from his father. His strongest spells are based on the element (As well as both of his Ultimate Attacks). Therefore, it is, undeniably, his element of choice in battle.
* Weapon Mastery- Ranged: Although not shown most of the time, Jared has gained the ability to use nearly every type of ranged weapon (As long as it is not too heavy for him to use). The most common type of ranged weapon that he uses in battle is bows.
* Demonslayer's Blessing: As the hero who took Demonslayer to be reforged after it was broken into pieces (And protected it with his life), Jared has earned the right to use it in battle, becoming the next chosen one. He is able to masterfully swing the sword at him enemies, showing that he is quite competent with it. While wielding it in battle, Jared's abilities are greatly increased and his battle prowess can match those of master swordsmen (Like Lysstak the Beast and Dorikas).
* Godlike Determination: During almost every occasion, Jared has proved that determination is one of the determining factors while fighting enemies on the battlefield. His sheer force of will has allowed him to stand up and defeat his enemies, even when everything seems to be lost. This is shown in many battles where he participates, especially those that include a powerful enemy who cannot be defeated through normal means.
* High Agility: Unlike most characters in "Miracula Luxia" overall, Jared is able to easily avoid most ranged attacks (As well as those in Melee, sometimes). His high agility also allows him to dash towards his target at a tremendous speed, often being able to catch up with them if they are running away.
* Excellent Accuracy: Due to his mastery in ranged weaponry, Jared has managed to improve his accuracy by a considerable amount. He is able to shoot a lot of his enemies down, even before the real battle has begun. Even while under pressure, his accuracy does not lower. Whether it is from close or long range, his ability to shoot an enemy down with high accuracy is a fact.
* Enhanced Eyesight: Jared is able to see his enemies from farther away than some characters in the series. In most cases, the enemies are unable to see him from a distance and this allows him to deliver a surprise attack with relative ease.
* Elemental Protection- DARK: Thanks to the armor that he wears, Jared has high resistance against the Dark element. Most elemental attacks based on it have little to no effect on him.
* Elemental Protection- EARTH: Jared also has a small resistance against the Earth element, thanks to his best friend John, who taught him how to use it properly.
* Hand-To Hand Combat: Although it is not shown too often (Due to the fact that Jared always carries a weapon with him), he is always able to defend himself, even when he is bare-handed. His enhanced agility helps him deliver vicious blows to the enemies who would attempt to disarm him.

== Relationships ==
=== Aleks Kaos ===
The relationship between Jared and his father is mixed. Despite that fact, Jared still loves him and cares about him, even though he does not return those feelings back to him.
Jared knows that his father is a good person deep inside and he will always make the right choice, no matter how wrong it seems to be at first.
Aleks himself is fiercely protective towards his son. Knowing that he is the only parent that Jared has left, he does his best to make him happy and protect him from the dangers of the world. He is also eager to join his son in his various adventures and battles, knowing that he still needs the love and support of a parental figure. Despite being a responsible young man who already knows how to take care of himself without the help of others and especially when he is fighting something (or someone) that is hard to be defeated without the advice of a skilled warrior.
Overall, both father and son care for each other and are ready to show that in various ways, whether it is by harming an enemy to save each other or simply have a small talk about what is happening around them.
Jared is devastated and heartbroken by his father's untimely demise. He vows to make the world better in his name and promises that he will stay strong and fight evil until his final moments.
===Seiko Kaos===
Jared's late mother.
Although it has been months since she died, Jared can still feel her presence watching over him and making sure that no one ever harms him.
She gives him the strength to continue, even when the situation seems desperate. She helps him remember who he really is, what he is fighting for and why he is the person that he is now- a smart, skilled and brave hero who helps the innocent people around the world fight against the evil that dwells within.
And he is very grateful for that.
=== Lethal Kaos ===
Jared's caring grandpa.
He is one few people who can truly understand him (Along with Jared's father and sister).
Despite having the reputation of an evil man, Lethal proves everyone that he is, in fact, a good and caring man by being constantly worried about his grandson's safety and is often seen watching over him, even in peaceful times when nothing (and nobody) can harm him.
Being away from his grandson for many years, Lethal is making up for it by showing qualities that were never seen in him previously. He is eager to show the people around him that he has changed and that the person who made him realize his mistakes is his own grandson- the child that he has always cared about, no matter if he is a small child or a grown-up boy.
=== Tanya Kaos ===
Even though he has never met her physically due to her untimely demise decades before he was born, Jared still loves his late grandmother greatly (and unconditionally) and respects her for being such a brave person who risked her own life to save her family from a fate worse than death. After hearing the story about her tragic end, he becomes motivated to protect his loved ones more than he ever has, even if he has to put his own life at the line to succeed.
As a spirit, Tanya gets to know her grandson better. She quickly realizes how much he means to his family and so, she promises to herself that she will protect him from evil.
Jared's grandmother is one of his most devout guardian angels. Along with the boy's late mother, they work together to motivate Jared and show him that there is always a light in the darkness, that there is always a way forward, no matter how impassable it may seem at first.
=== Rin Kaos ===
Jared's dear aunt.
Although they have rarely seen each other before, their relationship is very strong. It is clear that she loves him and that he loves her back.
Her desire to protect him is shown when she travels all the way from Duskwood to Paris just to find him and help him out. And, eventually, she succeeds. Motivated by her desire to keep the promise that she made to her husband- Jared's uncle, Jason Kaos, she teams up with one of Jared's most loyal allies and enters one of the darkest places in the entire world- Grah-Hoth's keep.
After the Haakai's defeat, she joins her nephew and starts to live in the city of Paris, hoping to aid him again in a time of need.
Either way, it is clear that she is ready to do anything for him and act as his guardian when his parents aren't able to do it anymore.
===Jason Kaos===
Jared's late uncle.
Even though relationships between uncles and nephews are usually not very good, the relationship between those two is very strong, formed by love, care and loyalty that have lasted for more than a decade, even more so after the death of Jared's uncle.
Even when he is not with his nephew physically, Jason is always ready to help him achieve his goals and defeat dangerous enemies (A nod to the moment when he helped him defeat Lysstak the Beast).
Just like the situation with his mother, Jared feels the same about his uncle, knowing that he is one of the few people who can give him the strength and motivation to do what is right.
=== Marinette Kaos ===
Jared's beloved sister.
Despite the fact that she is always ready to protect her little brother from harm, she also knows that he won't grow up to be a responsible young man if he does not feel the pain of the world first and often lets him make his own decisions, knowing that he will always do the right thing. Even if his plans do not work all the time.
Overall, Marinette is shown to be very understanding of Jared's actions and she does not want to punish him when he does something wrong. She also doesn't allow anyone else from their family do what she did not, showing how protective she really is towards her brother.
Her attitude towards the things that Jared does wrong has also inspired their father to be a better parent and understand that his children are indeed prone to making mistakes, unlike what he previously thought.
=== John Braveheart ===
Jared's loyal and brave best friend.
He is shown to be fiercely loyal towards him and ready to slay every enemy that stands in their path, if it means that it will ensure Jared's safety.
John is one of the few people that have learned something from Jared's attitude. For him, that is the kindness that he shows to everyone around him, as well as the fact that he spares some of his enemies instead of killing him (A good example is Farrar, an enemy leader from "Miracula Luxia I" whom Jared decided to spare).
Inspired by Jared's actions, John tries to be a more merciful person, always trying to find a more peaceful solution instead of fighting. Although this doesn't mean that he will hesitate to fight an enemy with whom he cannot be diplomatic.
=== Meggy ===
Although the two of them have only known each other for a single Chapter (A few days, as shown in Chapter V), they easily become close friends. A strong bond of friendship forms between them. Meggy trusts him to protect her from their common enemies and Jared relies on her as a source of encouragement and motivation, as well as a good friend who will stand by his side.
Their relationship has yet to develop further.
=== Ghall-Ihrno ===
A Vahnatai envoy from Olgai who was rescued by Jared during the events of "Miracula Luxia: The Envoy"
Being on the same side of a war, the two of them get along very well. Ghall-Ihrno helps Jared defeat dangerous enemies like Lysstak the Beast and Dorikas, while Jared helps him establish a good reputation for his kind among the humans, especially after the events that led to the war between them and Rentar-Ihrno's Vahnatai.
During the first three Chapters of "Miracula Luxia II", Ghall-Ihrno has always tried to be a useful asset for his allies. He accompanied Jared on his adventures and even helped him reach his enemies via teleportation (Namely the portal that he and his apprentice created to help him and his allies slay Dorikas). Therefore, he became a key component in the victory that Jared achieves in Chapter III against Rentar-Ihrno and her Vahnatai servants.
After the war is over, Ghall-Ihrno realizes that his home is safe. With Rentar-Ihrno taken care of, they finally return to their peaceful lives. During that time, he decides to stay in Paris and help its citizens during Jared's absence- something that the young hero is very grateful for.
Nonetheless, their relationship after the war remains positive. The two of them respect each other and do whatever they can to keep the world safe.
=== Annie Mitchell ===
A good friend of Jared.
Although she has a lot of personal troubles to worry about, she is still understanding of Jared's problems and tries to help him solve them as best as she can, showing that she is respectful towards her friend's wishes and also very understanding of the problems that he faces every day.
Just like Akari, Annie has romantic feelings towards Jared. Her feelings for him subsided when she was engaged to John, but they seem to be coming back again after the two of them divorced. 
It is unknown whether Jared and Annie will pursue a relationship, though. 
=== Erika Redmark ===
A longtime friend of Jared and one of his most loyal allies.
After her adopted son was nearly killed by a maddened Allister and they were saved by Jared, she made the decision to assist him when he needs help, becoming one of the most valuable defenders of the city of Paris.
Now, she is one of the few mages who reside in Jared's hometown and the only one who is capable of turning the tides of a battle with ease. This makes her a worthy ally that deserves respect. Not just from Jared himself, but from Jared's allies and all of the residents in the city.
=== Matthew Braveheart ===
Younger brother of Jared's best friend- John Braveheart and a good friend of Jared.
Although they do not interact as much as Jared interacts with his older brother, they still hold a mutual respect for each other. Not only because John is dear to both of them, but because they are both young warriors who fight for the good side, trying to bring peace and hope to the people around them.
Matthew started off as Jared's enemy, having joined Rentar-Ihrno's Vahnatai after becoming separated from his older brother and father. He seems to dislike Jared, just like everyone else who travels with John, but quickly becomes friendly to him when he willingly surrenders to them. Ever since this happened, their relationship has never gone downhill (Or, it never had the chance to happen, at the very least).
=== Akari Minamino ===
Jared's classmate and childhood friend.
Despite not having many interactions, the two of them still care for each other deeply and are worried if something happens to either of them.
Akari is very ashamed of her previous actions against her friend and tries to correct those horrible mistakes as best as she can, wishing to make a peaceful relationship between her and the one with whom she has been a friend ever since they were children.
Although her love for Jared has subsided a year ago, she still seems to secretly be in love with him. However, since Annie also seems to like him, Akari wants to give her friend a chance and not be an obstacle in their future relationship.
=== Lillian Rupert ===
Jared's former classmate.
They barely interacted before the incident at the White Dreams Highschool.
Although they did not know each other very well, Jared still regarded her as his friend and was very traumatized when she died, feeling responsible for her death and not listening when his friends and family tell him otherwise.
He was also blisfully unaware of her feelings towards him, right until the moment when she was dying in his arms. The fact that she was in love with him makes him feel even guiltier than before, almost to the point of madness.
However, after the events of "Rise Of The Darkside Loyalists", he seems to be recovering from all the emotional pain that he endured by watching Lily die in front of him and has come to terms with the fact that she is gone forever, that he won't see her ever again.
=== Florence Cunningham ===
A scientist from the 19th century, one of the newest additions in Jared's team and a very ardent ally.
After being helped by Jared and his father when she needed help, she promises that she will find a way to meet him again in the future. Her promise comes true soon when she finds a device that helps her travel many years into the future, into the present time.
Deciding to put her skills into good use, she allies herself with Jared's allies and helps them to maintain the peace in our hero's hometown- the city of Paris, becoming one of the few battle scientists who are able to enhance the abilities of their allies and make them more powerful when fighting evil.
Although they do not seem to be interacting a lot, Jared respects Florence and it is the same for her. Their relationship is strong and she remains loyal to him, even after he left her behind.
=== Ess-Kalyn ===
Initially, Jared and Ess-Kalyn have a negative relationship, due to the fact that they are on opposite sides of the war between Humans and barbaric Slithzerikai.
Although Ess-Kalyn has not harmed any members of Jared's family personally (Or with the help of her allies), he is still infuriated by her actions towards the innocent people of Avernum and the Surface and searches for her throughout the Surface, day and night.
His adventures eventually lead him and his allies to Ess-Kalyn's keep- the core of her rising empire. There, he fights the Slithzerikai leader and manages to defeat her, but not before freeing his dearest friends (John and Annie) from her control.
As the battle concludes and Unbound Ultima is summoned by the evil part of Ess-Kalyn's soul, our hero listens to her story and realizes that she used to be a good person who was forced to take an action against everyone around her after the death of her parents (A tragic event that happened decades ago, still burning within the Slithzerikai's mind and making her existence a living nightmare). Although he still despises her for what she's done against him and his allies, he decides to forgive her and feels sorry that her life had to end like this (Although this is not shown in the Story).
Nevertheless, Ess-Kalyn proves her loyalty to Jared and joins the good side as a spirit, trying to help him defeat Unbound Ultima at all costs. She cheers for him as he fights the creature and becomes very happy when it is finally defeated by him.
Part 11 ends with her vanishing from existence, her soul being able to move on to the Afterlife. The gaps within their relationship have been sealed and they soon become friends. Thus, they part ways on amicable terms.
=== Lysstak the Beast ===
Jared and Lysstak have a negative relationship, due to being on opposite sides.
Realizing that Lysstak is the one who is responsible for Lillian's death by sending Rentar-Ihrno's Vahnatai to attack the school, Jared develops an immediate hatred for the young man and tries to kill him without caring for the consequences of killing a former Empire soldier.
Jared eventually kills Lysstak and avenges his friend's death. However, this does not put him at ease, knowing that he still lost her and was too weak to save her. Lysstak's death means almost nothing to him.
He does not show any remorse about killing the villain, nor does he say anything to Dorikas when he mentions him in their final confrontation.
=== Dorikas ===
Jared hates Dorikas a lot, due to the fact that he is the leader of the Darkside Loyalists. The man who caused the deaths of many innocent people and does not hesitate to kill them himself as well, as well as the one who plans to destroy the nation our hero swore to protect- Avernum, as well as his hometown- the city of Paris. Thus, he is not interested in talking to him at all and instead wishes to fight him and defeat him, putting an end to his imminent threat over the people of the world once and for all.
Dorikas, on the other hand, expresses more interest in Jared rather than hate and wishes to know more about him. However, this is most likely due to the fact that he wants to learn everything about him so he can eliminate him as a threat and move on with his plans, as mentioned in Part X of Chapter II.
Dorikas knows about Lysstak the Beast's demise and also knows that Jared is responsible for it, but does not blame him about it because he knows that this is "not important in a time of war".
The villain has also wanted to see Jared in person and fight him, disappointed that he took so long to arrive at Fort Darkside. It seems like his dream has finally come true.
Unfortunately, meeting Jared and fighting him proves to be his undoing. The young hero manages to kill him, but not before struggling against the massive demon that was created by his life energy.
Despite achieving the peace that he always wanted after killing him, Jared does not feel satisfaction in this particular action. He thinks that he just got rid of another villain with visions of grandeur and that there are many like him left alone by the populace, scattered around and patiently waiting for a moment of weakness.
=== Unbound Ultima ===
Although Unbound Ultima is a creature made by Ess-Kalyn for her own nefarious purposes, Jared hates it and wishes to erase it from existence immediately after it is brought to life. The creature also feels the same way, seeing the young hero as a threat to its wicked task.
The fight between them is perhaps the hardest challenge that Jared has to face. A battle with many close calls, it soon becomes clear that Unbound Ultima has the upper hand, leaving the boy to die from his wounds.
However, our hero manages to stand back on his feet thanks to the help of his allies. Then, with the help of his ancestor- Adam Kaos, he gains an immense amount of power, something that allows him to defeat Unbound Ultima once and for all.
After the Unbound's inevitable demise, Jared feels like a heavy burden was lifted from his soul. The greatest enemy defeated, he can finally admit that the world is truly safe from evil, no matter who (or what) he has to face next.
=== Grah-Hoth ===
Just when Jared thought that the world is truly safe from evil, he was challenged by another villain. Another ancient creature whose sole purpose is to destroy this world. And his name is Grah-Hoth.
Their relationship started out in a very negative way when the Haakai overlord met Jared for the first time and it soon degraded into hatred when Grah-Hoth killed Jared's father- Aleks.
Enraged by the Haakai's actions, Jared decides to face him in a huge battle, nearly dying in the process. However, he soon managed to defeat him and trap him in a corner, with no chance of escaping.
Even when Grah-Hoth him begged him to be spared, his hatred did not fade away. He was still angry about what happened and he blamed him for it. Thus, he mercilessly ended his life and helped the world to get rid of this deadly menace, having done it to protect everyone from another apocalypse. 
Overall, their interaction was short and Jared did not have enough time to learn more about him. However, it is clear that Grah-Hoth was one of Jared's sworn enemies, his actions becoming one of the things that helped our hero become a better protector and parent.

== Trivia ==
* Jared's name typically means "he who descends", the original name originating from a biblical patriarch known as Jared/Jered (יֶרֶד in Hebrew)- A sixth-generation descendant of Adam and Eve, the first people to ever exist in this world. However, it also has other meanings, one of them being "one who rules". Coincidentally, Jared has been the leader of a small force for a short time (Multiple times, if we count the events of the original "Miracula Luxia" series), although he has never ruled for too long. Family-wise, his grandfather has also ruled for a short time (Although the reach of his command is much more expanded than that of his grandson, managing to command the forces of an entire kingdom at once), becoming the King of Avernum after the apparent death of King Starrus the Second and until the return of the late king's father- King Starrus the First.
*Jared is the only character in "Miracula Luxia" overall who has two Alignments at once: Lawful Good and Pure Good.
*Jared is the Protagonist of almost all stories and Ministories based on "Miracula Luxia", except for "Miracula Luxia: The Noble One" and "John's Story".
*Although the translation is not entirely accurate, Jared's name and surname in Japanese are roughly translated as ジャレド カオス (Kaosu Jaredo), where ジャレド means Jared and カオス means Kaos.
* Jared's last name- "Kaos" is a nod to the word "Chaos" which is a word that describes the Darkness in someone's heart (and within a person's being, in general). However, this is partially ironic, because Jared is the polar opposite of a person with Darkness in their heart- he is a person who has denied the Chaos, is looking towards the Order and is doing everything that he can to maintain it at all costs by slaying those who try to ruin it, showing how much different he is from his ancestors, most of whom were very evil people whose sole goal was to destroy every single bit of Joy and Hope within the hearts of others, effectively ruining the reputation of the family in the eyes of the people around them while Jared and his father started a legacy of heroes which has yet to grow further with each passing generation.
*Chapter VI is the only Chapter in "Miracula Luxia II" where Jared is not the Protagonist.
*Jared is the first (and only) person in the entire "Miracula Luxia" series to kill more than 1000 creatures from a specific race (Unbound) in total (The exact number is 1001, which also includes "Unbound Ultima" since it is classified as an Unbound as well).
* Jared is the first person in "Miracula Luxia" overall to directly kill a sole major antagonist (Not two or three of them, like The Crones or mentioned by someone else, like the ones who were killed by his father). Later, he also kills the leader of the Darkside Loyalists- Dorikas, making him the only person who has killed two major antagonists in two consecutive Chapters (Chapter I and II respectively). In later Chapters, he kills Rentar-Ihrno, Ess-Kalyn the Manburner and Unbound Ultima, meaning that he has killed at least one antagonist in nearly every Chapter of "Miracula Luxia II" until Chapter V (Chapter IV does not count).
* Jared's family (The Kaos Family) is perhaps one of the largest families in "Miracula Luxia" as a whole.
* Jared's most favorite element is Light, while the element that he truly hates is Dark.
* Jared's favorite colors are white and red.
* Jared's least favorite color is black.
* Jared hates demons, as well as other demonic creatures (Like Haakai, Imps and Hellhounds) and does not hesitate to fight them. This is the case for his battles with both Lysstak the Beast and Dorikas, who turned into demonic creatures when he fought them.
*Jared is the first character who kills another living character out of mercy, both in "Miracula Luxia" and "Miracula Luxia II" (Said characters being his mother in the first one and Allister in the second one).
**Interestingly, both Seiko and Allister are related to Jared's family in some way, Seiko being Jared's mother and Allister being the best friend of Jared's grandfather- Lethal.
