## Blair Aurelius, the host of the Pale Reaper

### The Pale Reaper's origin

The pale reaper is a rift sentient, which is the formerly dominant race of an alternate universe. In this place, the pale reaper invaded another universe and went after multiple civilizations, gods, and other people from his dimension. After 1,000 years of constant warfare, the pale reaper had exhausted most of his power and took a long rest, separating his power from his body as he went into rest. His generals took the physical manifestation of the power and dropped it in an unassuming

### Blair Aurelius

In the "host" universe of the dormant power, a general of the Ravenna realm was in charge of overseeing a prison that conducted magical experiments, and when the prisoners broke loose, the general, Blair Aurelius, was shipwrecked in the dark sea and discovered the dormant power, absorbing it and becoming the host. He gained immense power comparable to the sea curses which originated from this world. After waking up on a chunk of his broken ship in another place in the bronze sea, wind row island, he repaired his ship and returned to Ravenna. After meeting with the ruler and demonstrating his new powers by killing a grand navy commodore sent to deal with the aftermath of the escape, Blair earned a high galleon bounty and was pursued by many other grand navy members and bounty hunters, most notably the desert storm, Ashton Bleak and Admiral dark.

### Abilities

Blair Aurelius can summon creatures called "failed creations" out of imagination and magic pollution. These things perform the same functions as spells, but assisted by a primitive form of intelligence. He can also momentarily activate an aura of the power, giving himself red skin and growing four tentacles on his back made of the same material as the creations. He is also an acid conjurer with some unique weapons. Before gaining his power, he used replicas of the scimitars of the storm, claws made of bronze, and a brass staff. After he found the pale reaper's power, his weapons mutated into three different ones: the twin blades of the eclipse, the bloodthirsty blade, and the crystallized blood shards.

* The twin blades of eclipse can blind and drain enemies, severely impairing vision
* The bloodthirsty blade is a greatsword that uses the old brass staff as a handle, and it drains the users health unless it is actively draining something else.
* The crystallized blood shards are the claws, but they have been covered in a hard layer of blood, which gave them healing properties.

### Early life

He was born in Rubica to a moderately wealthy family of merchants who illegally shipped atlantean essence. In his family, the grand navy was enemy number one, and Blair was taught to hate the men and women who wore the white and blue uniform. He was always a good fighter with dual swords and his acid magic, and when he was a teenager his family brought him to the dark sea and let him kill a lesser-mutated atlantean, where he harvested a Sailfin. When his family business expanded, he was given his own caravel and met rival atlantean hunter Ashton Bleak, who was born in Sameria but lived in the war seas. They liked to compete with each other until a falling out, when Blair accidentally blew up Ashton's supply of repair materials on a dark sea island. The constant exposure gave him a little bit of extra strength and made him think thoughts of sadistic acts sometimes. After that, he met general Argos and enlisted in the bronze legion. having magic and weapon training got him the rank of legionaire easily, and he served as a quartermaster during a short conflict between the thorne empire and Ravenna. After many victories, Blair was promoted to centurion. After this, General Argos introduced him to the order of Aesir, where he served as an agent alongside lord elius. Then, after dealing with a grand navy blockade around shell island in secret and stopping an attempt on lord ulricus' life, he was promoted to general. Being only 25 yet a general already was a sign of the determination Blair had. After this, he was assigned to oversee the prison where magic experiments were going on in order to become an officer of the order.

### Personality

After excelling at fighting early on in his life, Blair became extremely arrogant and claimed he could never lose a battle. He got into a fight with a high power criminal due to this trait, and nearly died. He has a strong opinion on what is right and wrong, but often chooses to see faults in others rather than himself. This means he might call out the grand navy for blockading and firing on an island, but will also not recognize the cruel ways he kills people. Blair's time in the dark sea introduced him to the harsh world he would have to deal with, and also gave him a minor mutation. His eyes would start to glow red and narrow to slits during battles, which gave enemy soldiers a feeling that he was an inhuman creature that would give them a torturous death. He has minor insomnia, and can only really sleep on a boat due to him getting used to it from months at sea. Also, he has a little insanity, which causes made him have an uncontrollable rage on larger battlefields and also compelled him to brutally gore opponents. An example of this is when Blair sliced the commander of a thorne empire force into 5 pieces after disarming him, and pulling out their spine. Otherwise, he has a healthy sense of responsibility for his crew members, and likes to plan everything.

### Summary of Blair's story

Blair was appointed as the warden of a special prison in the dark sea. He was assigned after he found out where beringer was hiding, and gained a promotion to agent of the order. He was surprised to learn that there were only 10 prisoners. After a few months, the prisoners had seized a rare opportunity to escape, and Blair tried catching them. After his ship was torn apart by a massive wave, Blair woke up on an island and found a sea curse. This wasn't anything normal, he began hallucinating after he touched it, and woke up floating on a piece of his ship on wind-row island, south of Ravenna. He thought it was just a dream after he talked to Vesuvio Revora and the rest of the crew. After arriving at Ravenna, he met with king calvus to discuss the event. The discussion was interrupted when a grand navy commodore pulled out warrants for the arrest of King calvus and Blair. The commodore fired a blast of magic at blair, and in a dark flash, the commodore was impaled on a spike of yellowish organic material. After realizing the curse wasn't a dream after all, Blair set out from Ravenna to track down the escaped people, and fought off admiral dark, who ambushed him in the shining plains. He only narrowly escaped, as the admiral himself had the lighting curse, and was able to move at impossibly fast speeds. Blair then sailed to frostmill island in the north, and found the escaped prisoners. He paid off the mayor to arrest the prisoners, and they narrowly escaped with the help of iris the anomaly. Blair then began sailing to the south war seas to pick up rumors of where the prisoners went. On the way, he encountered a massive kraken, which badly damaged his ship. He stopped at the criminal shipwright on the forest of cernunno, and Septimus marcellian was captured by the greenwish cultists. Blair's crew used stealth tactics to sneak into the lower chambers of the cultist's base, and discovered numerous prisoners. The crew had to leave them behind, as cultists would notice the extra people. In the innermost chamber, Blair fought Cernunno with the help of his crew, but Cernunno caused the chamber to cave in before escaping. Septimus Marcellian was found and rescued, but the cultists broke his arm. Cernunno found them once again, and Blair had no choice but to escape, as he and his crew would have died as they were badly injured. Instead of escaping himself, his crew got away, but Blair suffered a major lapse of insanity and got captured by the greenwish cult. Still suffering from insanity after his capture, Cernunno left quickly as he observed that the magic nullifying handcuffs had no effect on his curse abilities. Cernyx, the archon, was supposed to either execute or study Blair's powers, but Cernyx was then killed by the former prisoners blair had been searching for.

### Crew members

Blair has gotten to know the other people (and pet shark) in his personal group well, who have been with him since he first joined the army. Each one has attained the rank of centurion and they are often in charge of making battle plans as a council. Vesuvio Revora, the quartermaster, is one of Blair's best friends. He uses magma magic and the sailor fist style, which makes him fire chunks of obsidian or scalding water. He is a very thoughtful person who doesn't talk much except to his closest friends. Vesuvio is also the chef of the ship, and enjoys expressing himself through food. Septimus Marcellian is a crew member who is often regarded as the most sociable. He is a warrior with a tower shield, greatsword, and bronze trident. He enjoys playing practical jokes on other crew members and is probably the least helpful of the party, often neglecting his duties aboard the ship to talk with someone. Thorin fjordson is a foreigner from keraxe, and is a warlord who uses two large axes and nothing else. He is often boasting about how much he can lift or how hard he can punch. Thorin can pull the sails by himself and is in charge of using the mortar. Off the ship, he does nothing but eat and punch out his feelings, as something clearly happened to him when he was younger. Tenebros Marcellian is the older brother of Septimus Marcellian, and is constantly looking out for him. He is a warlock with earth and iron leg, and tries fixing the mistake his younger brother makes. He often discusses battle plans during sailing and is always trying to be serious and more mature than anyone else. Terran is a hired assassin from the syndicate meant for killing off leaders to gain strategic advantages for Blair's crew, and despite being an assassin talks a lot. In fact, he is very manipulative and is therefore in charge of interrogation. "Finsh", the pet shark of the crew is often petted and there's nothing special about him. He's just a nice shark who occasionally swims around the deck in the dark sea and tries to nibble the foots of the sailors and is fun to feed. Blair made eating shark onboard the ship illegal to "please our majestic god finsh". Palos Keos is the youngest member of the crew and can punch through metal with his boxing, but is often underconfident. He only made it so far because he just seemed to be in the right place at the right time in every battle. He is the luckiest member of the crew, and fished up a sunken warrior chestplate.
