Megami

Megami is an upcoming scientist specialized in ecology and biology, who also works as an "Anomaly Hunter" or an adventurer tackling on quests. His interest is mostly in the wildlife and environment, between the interactions with different Aether Beasts and plants. His alias within Harthia’s Greatest is Aegis, known for his defensive capabilities.

## Appearance

Megami wears a cloak and typical clothing with a belt around his waist along with long boots and long gloves. His hair is black and his eyes are silver. The color of his aether is a mix of cyan/turquoise and black.

## Personality

He's an overly optimistic individual who tends to tease friends. He's open-minded and loves learning new things from those around him. He's always cool-headed and uses rational thinking, being observant in fights. He doesn’t get emotional due to Zenith which makes him appear apathetic.

## Powers and Abilities

### Physical Prowess

Megami is a flexible and quick fighter. His physical strength is well above average and he’s capable at hand-to-hand combat.

### Aether Prowess

Megami possesses Kinetic and Soul Aether, being able to combine the two during battles to improve efficiency. His ability with Kinetic is exceptional. Having a strong affinity with construction he can bond items together easily. Megami's aether barrier is fairly strong and tends to be thicker than others when seen.

He can apply his Kinetic defensively and boost his own offensive power with it. Additionally, having Kinetic enhances his Aether Sensory. His kinetic range is about 2 meters in a radius.

Megami's aether barrier is fairly strong and tends to be thicker than others when seen. His aether pool capacity is large.

 **Reinforce** | Megami fortifies objects with a layer of aether resembling an aether barrier. This ability is used on his clothing like his gloves and boots to protect them or reinforce them in situations like a fight. The Soul Variant is slightly stronger and prevents them from being affected by soul aether attacks.

### Soulforge

Megami names the soulforge as the amalgamation of his soul aether aligning with his kinetic aether. He can create objects like ropes or weapons with his soulforge. The duration or lifespan of the objects are dependent on how much soul aether Megami puts into it. Soul objects can be activated to explode, pull in, or deform objects around it in a 1 meter radius when thrown. The appearance of Megami's soul weaponry appear more solid compared to Vincent's because of his kinetic aether.

#### Soul Armaments

Strengthened versions of his soul weaponry using pieces of his soul called Soul Armaments. He can create a limit of 2 weapons which are referred to as his Left Arm and his Right Arm. Megami can create more than 2 weapons; 4 being his limit but doing so cripples both his arms with 3 only crippling one.

 **Daggers** | The amount of daggers go above the limit of his Arms. He can create up to 10 of them (5 for each finger on the hand, so if there's already a Soul Armament he can only use 5). He uses his telekinetic to guide the aim when he launches/throws them.

#### Zenith(Soul Armor)

Zenith is the strongest creation of his Soulforge. Wishfully created, it’s a powerful ability or weapon as it acts like a defender of Megami. Zenith's travel distance uses Megami's kinetic reach being 2 meters. Zenith is like a second aether barrier, but when damaged enough it’ll start retaliating out of anger. It’s another half of Megami’s Soulforge with the Soul Aether he possesses.

Zenith drains most of the negative emotions from Megami making him out to be somewhat apathetic because he always appears cheerful. Zenith translates the negative emotions into strength, empowering itself.

Megami barely uses Zenith in day-to-day life because he can’t control his functions and strength precisely, meaning Zenith would be a minor inconvenience.

##### Physical Prowess

It boasts great strength and defense. Zenith shares the 2 meter radius of Megami's sensory, reacting faster than Megami if something were to happen.

##### Aether Prowess

Being a large part of Megami’s soul it shares Megami’s Soul/Kinetic abilities whilst being more potent and harder to control. When Zenith is used, Megami can’t create any Soul Armaments.

 **Convergence** | Megami concentrates his soul aether into a single point; either his leg or hand to launch a powerful final strike

## Weapon

### Vastedge

Megami’s greatsword. The design of the weapon is fairly simple, which is that it’s a big blade with a handle inside of it. The weapon hovers behind him and follows him using his telekinetic. He doesn’t move it as it moves with him, meaning he has to reach for the blade or release it to grab a hold of it. He's strong enough to one-grip the blade like a regular short sword and commonly uses telekinetic with swinging to increase the force of his strikes.

### Soulbreaker(TIME-SKIP)

Megami's shield forged from grestile that surrounds a kinetic crystal.

## Equipment

### Backpack

A backpack that Megami brings along with him on expeditions. It contains vials and containers, along with a book and pen to gather notes and information

### Book

His book would contain sections of Aether Beasts and Anomalies, later on in the story when they discover Corrupted, they’ll be added as well and it also contains plants. His book would contain pre-existing data on the wildlife and plantlife, with the hopes of him discovering something new for either existing plantlife and wildlife or an entire new species of them.

### Knife

A knife Megami uses for extracting samples. He keeps it holstered behind his belt.

## Backstory

Megami lived a normal childhood alongside, Kayde. His father inspired him to become an adventurer, although later on he'd take to study nature as well.
