The Twelve Lost of Order

"The fallen stories tell me of eleven others like myself, ten if you count you and I. They bear a similar story to us and I believe we are to seek each other out, after all, it would not have taken 3 million years for someone to fall here only to coincidentally be a clouded mirror of myself, with ten more who are just as similar,"~Umbra to Luna
The Twelve Lost of Order, are a group of twelve humanoid entities that were created by Order (not directly but by manipulating fate to spawn them) to maintain balance of the multiverses they travelled through by use of their elemental powers. They all have some sort of high-grade immortality that prevents them from dying by any traditional means and many ways that would be considered magic/physics-breaking and are usually reflective of the traits of the piece that they possess. The members range from humans, chimeras, windseekers, etc. and include, from the order they are shown to be in from the fallen book, Twelve Lost Souls: Abel, One With the Earth, Kai of the Sunken Sea, Gale, the Wind Rider, Cinder, the Ashen One, Elias, the Unending Storm, Eira of the Eternal Blizzard, Melody, the Blind Seer, Kali, the Hourglass, Sylvie, the Green Forest, Umbra of the Fallen Library, Luna, the Brightest Light, and Kaimi, the Soulseeker. Some members of the Twelve Lost also have disciples/followers that are dubbed, Order's Seekers and usually serve the member they follow because of loyalty, a Seal of Binding, or respect who include notable characters such as The Wanderer.
== Members ==
Abel, One With the Earth: Abel is a human, and the "first" of the Twelve Lost, even though Melody is technically the actual first being the oldest member at more than four trillion years old as well as being the member in possession of the earth piece, reflecting how even though he's incredibly tough and harsh, underneath those layers he's actually a really nice person. Utilizes a form of heavily amplified Earth Manipulation that gets stronger the deeper underground he is and even when weakened, can shift entire tectonic plates on planets comparable to the size of the sun with relative ease as well as being able to meld into and out of any material belonging to the "Earth", basically ground materials and elements. Unlike the others in the Twelve Lost, he doesn't use any kind of weapon and simply uses his bare hands which helps with controlling the earth he shapes due to being in direct contact with it and proves his strength is definitely comparable to the others. He was the fourth member of the Twelve Lost to be gathered by Luna and Umbra and was reluctant to believe them at first before Umbra convinced him otherwise by bringing him into the Fallen Library where the others were and also by Melody showing him a telepathic vision.
"The underground beckons all earth-wielders like me,"
~Abel, One With the Earth
Kai of the Sunken Sea: Kai is a Seaborn, and the "second" of the Twelve Lost and is very off of that title being the seventh oldest out of the whole group, the actual second oldest being Kali, and the first being Melody as well as being the member in possession of the water piece, reflecting his gentle and free-flowing personality but also the fact that the ocean could be a blessing or a curse as similar to the ocean, he can turn into a violent storm of rage and anger. Utilizes an oceanic blood pact with the Sunken Sea and its creatures to be able to wield its power, being able to summon echoes of the Sunken Sea (basically creating a rift in dimensions that leads to and from the Sunken Sea allowing for huge amounts of water to be summoned as a weapon from even a small droplet) within any body of water he can feel through his water sensory ability to create storming and violent oceans, lakes, and rivers or anything with water as well as the creatures that live inside the Sunken Sea (Void Sharks, Leviathans, Ghost Squids, Darkwater Serpents, etc.). He also has a Depth-Forged saber imbued with essence from high-grade shattered Sea Stones made with Bloodalloys from creatures slain and retrieved from the Sunken Sea so even in a situation where Kai has access to zero water, he still has a means to defend himself. He was the sixth member of the Twelve Lost to be gathered by Luna and Umbra and surprisingly went along with Umbra and Luna partially because the Sunken Sea also has tales of other members of the Twelve lost and because the Sunken Sea told him of Umbra's plan and arrival before they even happened in the first place.
"I am a child of the ocean. The deep is my home as the darkness is yours,"
~Kai to Umbra
Gale, the Wind Rider: Gale is a Windseeker, and the "third" of the Twelve Lost while being actually one of the youngest of the group being only around 284000 years old which makes him the third youngest out of the Twelve Lost while the second and actual youngest are Eira of the Eternal Blizzard and Cinder, the Ashen One respectively as well as being the member in possession of the wind piece, reflecting his natural excitable and hyperactive nature just like the winds. Utilizes a self-developed technique called Gale Riding, that's derived from his Windseeker roots' natural ability to know and become one with the winds as if it was part of their own body, and allows him to "ride" into the surrounding winds, basically merging and transforming his body into an air current as well as being able to move between air currents to allow rapid shifts in position to confuse enemies and with a minor wind-shifting power that allows control of winds. He uses a collection of specially crafted throwing knives made of endo-steel that could also be used to slash, stab, or chop when needed and are soul-bonded with him so only he could use them and so that they would simultaneously heal and be damaged like him as well as a standard damascus knight's shield. He was the third member of the Twelve Lost to be gathered by Umbra and Luna and went along pretty easily because he had nothing better to do and because he though it would be a really fun adventure for him.
"Ah... Nothin' feels better than the free-flowing winds I tell ya',"
~Gale, the Wind Rider
Cinder, the Ashen One: Cinder is a Chimera turned Meta Undeath, and the "fourth" of the Twelve Lost which is completely off statement because of being the actual youngest at 82426 years old a whole 150000 years younger than the second youngest, Eira of the Eternal Blizzard probably due to the rational ages of the elements they represent with a flame most likely lasting the shortest as well as being the member in possession of the fire piece, reflecting his burning determination and fiery want to continue living and fighting after death. Utilizes Ashen Flame Commanding/Transformation which allows him to summon and manipulate Ashen Flames, gray ash-colored flames that emit ash-like particles and burn anything they touch rapidly into a fine gray ash even water or other abstract incorporeal elements as well as normal flames and be able to shift different parts of himself into said Ashen Flames. He has the Ashen Greatsword as his main weapon that was soul-bonded to him via Torrin the Phoenix of Ashen Flames possessing the Ashen Greatsword after his death making it a magic artifact that became Cinder's artifact so only he could wield it and can could also morph into 5 other weapons that are the Ashen Lance, the Ashen Daggers, the Ashen Mace and Battle Hammer, the Ashen Axe, and the Ashen Chain. He is the only member of the Twelve Lost to have not been found by Umbra and Luna probably due to the seclusion of the Silent Citadel universe from others.
"There is nothing left for me but cold dark ashes of a life a once had,"
~Cinder, the Ashen One
Elias, the Unending Storm: Elias is human, and the "fifth" of the Twelve Lost which would make that title actually correct for once as he actually is the fifth oldest of the group with Melody being first, Kaimi being second, Umbra being third, and Luna being the fourth as well as being the member in possession of the lightning/storm piece, reflecting his violent and incredibly easy to anger nature that could arise from any little thing. Utilizes a derived and modified form of telepathically controlled storm-manipulation dubbed, "Stormcast", that functions by making his body a self-recharging magic battery that could store Stormcast (which is basically like a reserve of magical energy) in his body, allowing for use of violent controlled bursts of storms and lightning as well as being able to imbue weapons, objects, and people alike with the same Stormcast which made weapons electrified, objects constantly super-charged, and people into electrified corpses. He uses a massive spear with a shaft forged from aether steel, heavily enchanted and charged from possible trillions of years spent within the Eternal Storms and a spear-head tip made from shards of magic crystals that have absorbed lightning storms and hurricanes giving it a constantly shifting and glowing appearance and enough power on its own, without any Stormcast imbuement, to level large stars and possible multiverses with Stormcast super-charging it. He was the seventh member of the Twelve Lost to be gathered by Umbra and Luna and at first, tried to kill them via death from about 482 trillion volts of electricity coursing through your body however, Umbra was technically already dead so it didn't have much effect other than the intense heat which he countered by absorbing it into a Shadow Veil and Luna simply tanked the hit before eventually, after many universes were erased in the cross-fire, Elias calmed down.
"OPEN UP THE SKIES!"
~Elias, the Unending Storm
Eira of the Eternal Blizzard: Eira is a Snowwalker, and the "sixth" of the Twelve Lost even though she is the second youngest of the Twelve Lost coming in at about 240000 years old, about 150000 years older than Cinder, the Ashen One, and 40000 years younger than Gale, the Wind Rider, as well as being the member in possession of the ice piece, reflecting her cold and harsh attitude towards basically everyone but also her somber and calm nature. Utilizes a sub-type of Ice Magic (which does technically make it a sub-type of a sub-type) known as Permafrost for combat and default Ice Magic for everyday/mobility and support means allowing highly dangerous ice-based attacks that can very easily destroy large cities and slay giants including flash-freezing whatever she's touching, dispersing miniature ice particles into the air that rapidly freeze someone's insides when inhaled, summoning massive glaciers which a shift of her foot, or creating huge weapons and puppeted ice-sculptures to maul enemies. She uses an icy glacial short sword as her weapon of choice, with a small one-handed grip, and blue endo-steel blade allowing for easy parrying and rapid slashes and stabs that can channel her Permafrost making even the smallest of cuts or grazes lethal, as the imbued Permafrost would rapidly spread over the area and turn whatever's cut by it to freeze completely. She was the fifth member of the Twelve Lost to be gathered by Umbra and Luna and similarly to Elias, immediately attempted murder, by trying to run Luna through from behind with her short sword after sneaking up behind her by camouflaging in the snow and ice of the Eternal Blizzard before Umbra, the only person paying constant attention, Shadow Puppeted Eira's body until they explained the situation.
"Some days I just flop over into the snow and roll around for a while. It's the only thing keeping me sane with nothing to do,"
~Eira of the Eternal Blizzard
Melody, the Blind Seer: Melody is a human (or something most resembling a human), and the "seventh" of the Twelve Lost which would be incredibly off due to being the oldest of the group by more than quadruple the age of Kali, the Hourglass with around four trillion years of age as well as being the member in possession of the force piece, reflecting her all-knowing and all-encompassing aura/the supernatural effects that follow her and eternally calm and seemingly clairvoyant nature. Utilizes a technique that uses a form of energy from the Otherworld know as Force Weaving, which basically creates a mental image of the current forces in the Finalverse, every single thing that could count as a force is present in that image whether it be the air shifting from movement or force from a dimensional rift collapsing in on itself, almost like an interactive map or looking though thermal goggles and allows the user to change that same mental image like a child playing with a sandbox as well as being able to use minor amounts of future-sight most probably gained from possibly forming an contract with the Otherworld's Abstracts. Melody doesn't use any weapon of sorts, she doesn't really need one anyways, and simply wills anything that could happen, to happen with her mind or sometimes using her physical body to help aid her Force Weaving when it requires a lot of effort and mental strain (e.g. rewinding fate, reversing the explosion of a singularity core, and creating a rift in literal concept). She was the first member of the Twelve Lost to be gathered by Umbra and Luna mostly because Melody was the one to find them first, appearing before the duo when they were traversing through a particularly dangerous universal highway and was crucial in actually making it possible to seek out the other members of the Twelve Lost with her ability to sense different peoples' forces.
"Well no of course! I'm never truly blind the way I am now,"
~Melody, the Blind Seer
Kali, the Hourglass: Kali is a Chronospawn, and the "eighth" of the Twelve Lost which, (just like with Melody's situation) is very off with her being the second oldest of the group due to being a fragment of The One Before, the anomalous time erasing entity that literally incarnates timelines and the concept of past, present, and future, as well as being the member in possession of the time piece, reflecting her often inattentive nature and her constant personality shifting state. Utilizes high-grade Time Magic stored within parts of her jewelry to fuel her amplified Chronospawn powers such as Stopwatch (the power to freeze time to an absolute zero), Rewind (the power to reverse the passage of time to a previous state), and Branch (the power to switch between different timelines) unlike just using regular Time Magic spells or abilities for instead of a wide variety of spells to cast, a small group of powers to be used with maximum efficiency and potency as compared to normal, or even advanced and master Time Magic, Chronospawn powers boosted by her Time Magic are almost six times better at what they're meant for. Kali has equipped two pairs of small baselards for her weapons, made of a standard dragon bone and dragon blood endo-steel alloys with no real need for strong blades as she can always simply Rewind to retry the same situation or avoid a timeline where she loses them and thus, they're just normal endo-steel daggers that easily cut through most Finalversal metals and mortal and immortal flesh. She was the second member of the Twelve Lost to be gathered by Umbra and Luna similarly to Melody because she was the one to seek them out and instead of the duo finding her, unlike Melody, Kali accidently intentionally warped into the Fallen Library by repeatedly jumping timelines in an attempt to find Umbra and Luna.
"Time is a very fickle thing. Messing with it almost always causes universal collapses but, that never has stopped people like me from doing it has it?"
~Kali, the Hourglass
Sylvie, the Green Forest: Sylvie is a Floraspeaker, and the "ninth" of the Twelve Lost, one of the moments where that title is actually correct, being the ninth oldest or the fourth youngest of the group with her having a few hundred thousand years over Gale and around a million less than Kaimi, who's the eighth oldest, as well as being the member in possession of the nature piece, reflecting her outdoor-loving personality and relaxed easy-going nature. Utilizes a form of plant/nature magic called Foresttongue that involves a ritual performed on all Floraspeaker when they turn an age of eight, with the elder Floraspeaker etching a Runic magic circle into the Floraspeaker that has come of age's tongue with a specially enchanted, appearing as a pentagram-like tattoo with a vertical line with two diagonally-running lines going through the vertical one in the center on the Flora speaker's tongue allowing them to "communicate" with plants and nature, making nature manipulation significantly easier. Has a medium-length rapier as a weapon coated in a special layer of tree sap, taken from an enchanted tree that causes small buds of flora to appear on whatever it touches, which will burst into full-sized plants causing their roots to grow into whatever they're attached to, including people which is almost always fatal from both the piercing trauma and the fact that the plants rapidly devour the body's nutrients to fuel its own growth. She was the eighth member of the Twelve Lost to be gathered by Umbra and Luna and when the two of the light and dark appeared within her home universe, she was somewhat suspicious at first, before rolling with them after Umbra revealed a small section of the Fallen Library's stories, which convinced her that they were in fact, telling the truth, and not just pulling a very elaborate prank.
"I love everything related to the outdoors! Except mosquitos. Nobody. Likes. Mosquitos,"
~Sylvie, the Green Forest
Umbra of the Fallen Library: Umbra is a Deepguided, and the "tenth" of the Twelve Lost which is one of the most inaccurate statements, being the third oldest of the group, being literal darkness, one of the first things that ever existed along with light, a few years older than Luna, but a few hundred billion years younger than Kali, as well as being the member in possession of the darkness piece, reflecting his brooding, seclusion from reality, and the embracement of the dark and the things that live in it via the Fallen Library. Utilizes shadow and darkness-manipulation gained by consuming a small part of The Dark, Librarian of the Fallen's soul, who's the Fallen Library's patron that gave Umbra a great amount of power over the dark in exchange for gaining Umbra's service and mastery or so he descend into nothingness from a soul-binding deal they took part in, that allows Umbra to control anything defined or considered as "darkness" including shadows, tainted souls, the void, inexistence, and the essences of death, darkness, and dread, perfectly without any backlash or drawback. He uses a musical conductor's baton, which helps him "direct" the Song of the Deep, which is just another fancy phrase for what darkness-manipulators use to actually manipulate darkness as well as the Chronicle of Void, the main book of the Fallen Library which came into Umbra's possession after his deal with The Dark, which allows him control of the void's stories, increasing his destructive capability. He was one of the Twelve Lost to actually seek out the other members following his encounter with Luna within the Fallen Library and at first, planned to "remove" Luna from the Fallen Library after her unintentionally intentionally phasing through existence into the library's halls before taking a look inside her head, and realizing the coincident of her situation when compared to his own and recruiting Luna to his new cause of finding the other ten members of the Twelve Lost.
"These halls were not meant for your kind. If you will not leave, I will make you leave, permanently,"
~Umbra to Luna
Luna, the Brightest Light: Luna is a Dawnguided, and the "eleventh" of the Twelve Lost which is just as off as Umbra's statement (another coincidental mirror between the two), being the fourth oldest of the group as she is light, one of the first things to ever exist in the first place, a few years younger than Umbra, but several hundred million years older than Kai, as well as being the member in possession of the light piece, reflecting her want to shine the clarity of light upon the world and her bubbly and determined spirit. Utilizes the Flame of Light, an ability given to her by The Final Light after engaging in a soul-binding deal similarly to Umbra, that allows her to access and manipulate the metaphysical reservoir of Light Magic stored within the Flame of Light, which is basically a battery that holds incredibly powerful Light Magic, and feeds off of the user's positive emotions which is great for Luna considering her upbringing what a lot better than the others in the Twelve Lost. She uses a magic-infused enchanted aether-steel halberd, which takes the form of a small necklace on Luna's neck that can be transformed into the weapon's actual form by will, made for someone who could channel powerful Light Magic in mind, the enchantments and aether-steel alloys pairing with the Flame of Light, allowing her to store Light Magic within the head, and unleash powerful magic from her weapon. She was the other one of the Twelve Lost to seek out the other members of the group following her encounter with Umbra, when she accidentally on purpose warped to the Fallen Library after she was consumed by an eldritch dimension of darkness, and getting both her physical body and spiritual body puppeted by Umbra before scanning her memories and realizing she's another member of the Twelve Lost.
"Well! If it isn't evil villain come to kill me number 849 and counting!"
~Luna, the Brightest Light
Kaimi, the Soulseeker: Kaimi is a Meta Undeath, and the "twelve" final member of the Twelve Lost which is also a lot less off when compared to a lot of the members being the fifth youngest of the group, older than Sylvie, the Green Forest, and younger than Kai of the Sunken Sea, both with an age difference of about a million, as well as being the member in possession of the spirit/soul piece, reflecting her undead/Underworld connections as well as her dark and gloomy nature. Utilizes a somewhat impossible-to-learn technique known as Soul-Weaving or Shaping, allowing her to shape, change, and weave the souls of any living or non-living thing that has a soul, as well as form a Soul Contract (in a nutshell, it's a deal formed between two souls that exchange one of their souls for a task/s that the other will complete or else they'll spontaneously disintegrate from existence leaving nothing behind), which is impossible for anyone to do apart from Life and Death, as well as her granting free reign to completely change someone's very existence with a touch. Kaimi, doesn't use any kind of weapon, her hands being all that's needed for combat when it's necessary, but sometimes wears a pair of black and white custom surgical gloves, with magic inscriptions etched on the palm of each, the left black glove having magic etchings representing Death, and the right white glove having magic etchings representing Life, meant to keep messes to a minimum when working with a customer. She was the ninth and last member of the Twelve Lost to be gathered by Umbra and Luna when the duo entered her "totally ethical" surgical shop, and tried to convince her to join them before she decided to kick them out, then when they resisted, attempted to dematerialize Umbra's soul before realizing The Dark already had claim over his soul and almost having her existence being erased by said librarian.
"Don't mind the gloves, things can get a little messy in here when working with customers,"
~Kaimi, the Soulseeker
== Allies ==
"Naturally, when your apparent creator is the conceptualized object of "Order", you tend to have a lot of people support your goals,"
~Luna, the Brightest Light
The Overlord Association: Although the Twelve Lost and TOA never really see each other face to face, TOA has helped the Twelve Lost members in their endeavors before as their goals both align with attempting to keep order within the Finalverse and have sometimes collaborated openly on quests when a member of the Twelve Lost came across Wrecking-Ball Squadron of the Overseer Division and combined forces to capture and detain several members of the Legion. Apart from their open collaborations, they've also had behind the scenes aid from each other such as TOA providing valuable intel or fire support or some members of the Twelve Lost appearing in desperate situations where TOA units needed reinforcements in the segments of the Finalverse where members of the Twelve Lost occupied somewhat close universes. The most noticeable member of TOA that openly works together with different members of the Twelve Lost is Gladius/Adam Grieve (his fake name alias for out of duty situations) from the Overseer Division's Specter Squadron who has repeatedly met with the members of the Twelve Lost, most commonly, Gale, the Wind Rider probably due to them both taking their jobs pretty easy even though their jobs are some of the most important in the Finalverse.
"You called for heavy backup, and you got what you asked for!"
~Hammerfall to Elias
Death: Due to Death's soul connection with Reality, (or whatever counts as a soul for him) Death is naturally coded to create balance and thus acknowledged the Twelve Lost as the will of Reality and Order when Melody first manifested, back before anyone in that played a serious role in the current story even existed. While Death would rarely ever leave the Underworld apart from very important events (e.g. the War of the Ancients, the Finale, etc.) he did offer his own palace as a sanctuary space for whenever one of the members may need it and did sometimes send one or two of his Seven Spirits for assisting the Twelve Lost in whatever task they were doing at the time, most of the time it would be Taffy (because she had way too time on her hands) paired with Icestorm (because he didn't really have anything better to do). Death has saved a few members from unfortunate circumstances such as preventing Eira from getting mauled by an Ouroboros monster of Chaos during the War of the Ancients or Kai from getting captured and most likely picked apart following an excursion the UCN and is most fond of Kaimi, the Soulseeker due to her originating from the Underworld and her soul-manipulative/undead roots.
"While Order is not my creator, I acknowledge that it and Reality alike, seek to balance the fabric of the Finalverse, and that it is your creator. I do not serve Order, I serve Reality and Reality alone but I will accept you as an ally,"
~Death to Umbra
Life: Similarly to Death, Life's soul connection with Reality forces him to involuntarily create balance and order within the Finalverse and so, he would be almost automatic allies to the Twelve Lost as well as a very prominent figure in searching for more members and providing things to do and information to prevent Chaos attempting to resurrect himself again. Life takes a more direct approach when assisting the Twelve Lost when compared to Death, as while Death would sent one of his spirits or intervene during important events, Life wouldn't hesitate to spawn a dimensional rift, warp to which ever member of the Twelve Lost was struggling, and absolutely annihilate their opponent leaving nothing behind to show they even existed. Occasionally, Life would also send a few of his Demi-Gods to help out when he couldn't, or when numbers were more needed than power, such as Arkus Light, Birch Rose, or Aether Light, and has a particular interest in Kaimi, the Soulseeker (similarly to Death) due to her unnatural ability to form Soul Contracts and shape, change, and weave souls and soul essence, which would be impossible for anyone other than Life or Death to do.
"Hey, guess who's back to save your idiotic self?"
~Life to Elias
== Enemies ==
"While our allies are in the many, the few enemies we have are... Let's just say they're very problematic,"
~Gale, the Wind Rider
The Legion: The Legion, being a powerful criminal organization with influence spread through the entirety of existence, are enemies of the Overlord Association, who the Twelve Lost are allied with, naturally making the Legion and all of their members incredibly hostile to any member of the Twelve Lost, the fact that Elias has a habit of hunting down criminals, especially those from the Legion or Underground Criminal Network, just making their relationship worse. Although the Legion would be in all means, capable of dealing heavy damage to the Twelve Lost or even completely eradicating them, the fact that the Twelve Lost are allied with both, Life and Death, as well as having the backing of TOA and the UCD, make them almost untouchable unless they are the first ones to provoke a conflict. Illusionist has a particular disdain towards the Twelve Lost, actively trying to goad them into conflict so he can remove the troublesome twelve from further interference in Monarch's plans, who couldn't care less about the Twelve Lost and what they stand for, more interested in their ongoing war with TOA and APS.
The Underground Criminal Network:

* Luna fell into the Fallen Library after being thrown into the void of an eldritch dimension and ripping a space-time tear open as she was consumed by the darkness.
* There have been several instances where Life was forced to step in a situation where somebody like Elias or Abel were ambushed by Chaos' army, usually appearing, ranting about how much they're garbage for making him have to interfere, instantly obliterating their enemies, ranting some more, and then leaving without any further explanation.
