Zeke Valerian

Zeke's first Appearance

*Zeke Valerian**, also known as*** **Bread Boy** is a part-time baker, and student at Blackwater Uni. He was created on the 28th of October, 2021. His main goal from New World 2.5 to New World 3 was to become as strong as the people around him. So he would never let anyone down. In New World 4, his motive was to promote his bakery, after he took over the position from his father and mother. Although these dreams were quickly destroyed. As he died in Poseidon Falls (Dungeon) to a trapped staircase.

## Appearance

Zeke has black shaggy hair, dark brown eyes and a slim muscular build. During New World 2.5 he wore a long trench coat with a black polo sweater. But during The Trip, he wore a black t-shirt and brown cargos. Zeke has several scars on his body from being shocked by electricity, burned, stabbed, slashed, etc. He has a strange crest burned into his right palm, a whole arm with rune-like carvings. With Zeke, there isn't a single body part that isn't covered with scars.

## Personality

ENFP. Zeke has a happy go lucky personality, at heart he is a kind guy and hopes for the best of most people. He jokes around a lot with his friends, he's sarcastic and likes to mock or make fun of annoying people. When someone annoys him or one of his close friends, he will usually go berserk on them, shouting insults at them. He particularly hates Lily Miller, another character.

## Powers

CYTOS: In all of Zeke's iterations, he has had the CYTOS ability of dough manipulation

Zeke was one of the six people to own an Origin Attribute. Zeke's Origin Attribute was named ''Blank'' Blank gave Zeke the ability of ''Anti-Mana' With Anti-Mana, Zeke can manipulate a TV-Static looking Mana, which can negate others Mana abilities. The drawback of Anti-Mana is that it has a short range. Using this ability, he once accidentally killed Arlo Rein. Although Arlo swiftly came back.

Mana Immunity: Zeke gained 80% Mana Immunity when wearing his M.E.U Suit. Relics deal significantly less damage, and mana should barely do any. Any status effects are completely nullified.

Semi-Cytos Immunity: The M.E.U gives Any mana-based CYTOS attack will be weakened by 50% And control based Cytolia are practically useless, as are status afflicting ones.

Physical Boosts: The M.E.U grants zeke boosted physical defense and strength.

A Mage's Analogue Nightmare: The user can only cover their entire armour in Anti-Mana while physically bolstered, causing all Anti-Mana to be buffed even more and making the user look like TV static come to life, which is just horrifying to look at. This puts a lot of pressure on Zeke, and is therefore unsafe to use for extended periods

M.E.P Wave: Mana Evaporation Pulse, A wave of energy can surge out of Zeke's hands at will. causing anyone hit with it to lose half their mana. This does however strain the user, causing decent damage to the arm used.

M.D.W: Mana Disturbance Wall. At the cost of making one arm entirely numb, the user can erect a wall of static-like energy in front of him, spanning 2m meters up and 4 meters across. This nullifies most magic attacks, and will stop most mana-filled items immediately, also slowing down and draining mana-filled enemies

Draining Touch: The user can strain and injure themselves as they force their body to extract mana and then eliminate it inside them. This is only possible through direct contact, yet it is very fast, but also risks injury.

Sealing Blow: Upon punching an enemy hard enough, the user has the ability to cast a seal onto them, which will cause the user to lose access to their Anti-Mana, and other abilities. This must last at least 1 minute, however past that point can be cancelled at will, the main downside being that the user will receive a significant hit to their stamina when cancelled.

Zone, 0: The ultimate move. The user declares 20 meters in every direction as their domain, spreading their static energy across it entirely, sealing any mana, or cytos as long as it remains, and covering their vision with that static energy, which only they can sense through. It will only last 20 seconds, at the end of which the user will pass out and may even receive more damage based on their condition beforehand. They will enet a comatose state, and so will not wake up until at least a full 24 hours later.

Runes: Zeke has many runes implanted into his body, named.

Khabb-ghul, The rune of strength. Nhafku-Tabath, the Rune of Speed. Sib-Thukatta, the rune of stone. Fir-Shalka, the Rune of Restraint. Pha-qualtak, the Rune of Phasing. Seykh-Mgthwa, the Rune of Anti-Mana. Khart-Mgthhwa, the Rune of Mana. Bhane-Lemkhu, the Rune of Combustion and Shiki-Thau, the Rune of Blades.

In short, he gains the abilities of: Strength increase, enough to dent Conway Pherez's armour. Speed Boost, pain nullification, indestructible armor while not moving. The power to restrain an enemy with anti-mana rope. Permeation, Anti-Mana boost, Mana boosting for allies, Blade summoning.

Zeke, BRST mode.: Rather than absorbing, and dispersing mana like usual, when entering burst Zeke is capable of wiping out mana within a certain radius, allowing him to not only weaken/eliminate incoming attacks, but to essentially place opponents into a coma-like state and abuse mana-vacuums to force the natural mana in the air into large, brutish, and powerful attacks when used proficiently.
Additionally, it's dangerous for the user as, when the 'Armour' formed from Blank is pierced, the body is at it's most fragile state. Otherwise, speed, strength, and agility are boosted significantly.

## History

### New World 2.5

Zeke's time in New World 2.5 was very short-lived. During this time he enrolled in the University of Blackwater, and done some training in the simulation room. He had cooked for other members of the University and that's about it.

### New World 3

Very Bare Bones Description, this covers some of the important things in Zeke's life

Zeke was active for 100% of New World 3, dubbed ''The Trip'' During the trip Zeke was constantly tortured and basically bullied by some people. Namely Arlo Rein, Sasha Rein and Lily Miller. Zeke appeared in The Trip world halfway stuck in a tree, which temporarily left Zeke without an arm, but that was later retconned. Zeke then went to a cabin in the woods, which became his base of operations almost. The cabin was an old laboratory Arlo Rein created to house magical items and weapons. Zeke did puzzles and tons of other stuff and finally gained access to the room containing magic items, which came in the shape of a magical sphere. In one of these magical spheres was an Origin Attribute. Called ''Blank''. This was Zeke's main source of power. Which is mostly referred to as ''Anti-Mana''. Zeke then went on to meet the rest of the cast. Forming a bond with two specific people, Alek Betterman and Conway Pherez. Later on in the story, they would end up having to fight an enemy named Uriel. Where they would form the group ''Sigma Squad.'' This group is talked about a lot in the server. Farther into the story, this group was forced into fighting a notorious enemy called ''Alexei Preda'' in Hell. This fight formed their bond even more, although they ended up losing the fight and their abilities. During this fight, Alek was seriously wounded, and Conway died. They then retreated back to Zeke's bakery where Zeke buried Conway with the assistance of Cameron Downes. Later, Conway was revived. Then after a few days, Zeke returned back to his bakery to set up shop, and saw that someone had been waiting for him. It was Lily Miller, an acquaintance of his, a friend of friend you could say. Or even frenemies, when he walked in Lily handed him a note which detailed the death of Arlo Rein. When he finished reading it Lily activated her ability restraint. Restraint held Zeke in a position where he couldn't move, and he couldn't fight back due to Alexei stealing his Anti-Mana ability. Lily then stabbed Zeke to death. After this, a time reverse occurred, back to before the Alexei fight. After that, Zeke assisted the group in fighting Chronos, the big bad.

### New World 4

Zeke's life was very short in New World 4, he met up with Cameron. Not remembering each other from their past life. He then entered a Dungeon called Poseidon Falls, and died half-way through to a staircase trap. It has been hinted towards Zeke being revived, but we don't know for sure.
