## Summary

**Aubax** is a character who appears in the **Prologue** of *Omen Metal*. Whether or not he is a Protagonist or Antagonist is unknown. However, he is known to have been archenemies with **Stanley Stewart**, the last human to challenge him, and the only human who defeated him.

## History

Nothing is known about Aubax' past life, except that at some point, he was made King of the **Nachtgeists**. Due to being himself a historical figure, that could be drawn from instead. He supposedly devoured many people, before being defeated and seemingly killed by Stanley Stewart.

## Plot

Aubax has currently not appeared in the plot whatsoever, barring a brief mention in **Chapter 1**.

## Personality

Aubax is cocky, arrogant and laid back. He enjoys being genuinely challenged on the battlefield, and seems to hold something of a 'survival of the fittest' mentality, as he belittles his past opponents for being foolish enough to challenge him and too weak to follow through with their threats to him.

He holds Stanley in a high regard, as he is Aubax' only known worthy opponent. Aubax seems willing to exchange banter with him, and likely so with other opponents as well. Aubax also seems to not know himself why he has committed all the atrocities he allegedly has.

## Appearance

Aubax is a male of average height, with a slender frame. He has sharp, pointed teeth, shoulder length, somewhat shaggy, swept back black hair and stone grey skin, with ears that curve upward and end in roughly two to three spikes, and clawed fingernails, the characteristics of a Nachtgeist. His eye color is unknown, as they are hidden behind a pair of circular golden spectacles with almost opaque orange lenses.

He wears a black pirate coat, pants and hat, the coat and pants having dull gold buttons on them. He wears a white undershirt with the ends of its sleeves being frilly and appearing from beneath the sleeves of his coat. He wears white gloves and a white swash that holds his pants up, and has leather belts wrapped in a mummy-like way all across his abdomen, over his undershirt and under his coat. He wears cuffed black leather boots, and a black leather necklace with three dull golden skulls on it.

## Powers and Abilities

**Nachtgeist Physiology:** Aubax is a Nachtgeist, and thus has all the abilities being a Nachtgeist grants.

* **Accelerated Healing Factor:** Like all Nachtgeist, Aubax can heal wounds that would be crippling if not fatal to humans in a matter of seconds to minutes. This ranges from cut and stab wounds to blunt force trauma and burns, to illnesses and even lost limbs.
* **Enhanced Senses:** Nachtgeist have superior senses to **Humans**. This includes having faster reaction times.
* **Natural Magic User:** Aubax, like all Nachtgeists, should have a magical attribute to him. All Nachtgeists have magical skin/clothing tight shields around their bodies. that stop projectiles and other fast attacks, and Aubax should be no exception. Aubax's magical attribute is unknown.
* **Shapeshifting:** All Nachtgeists have the limited ability to shapeshift, mostly their teeth, claws, ears and skin to better blend in with humans.
* **Human Consumption:** Nachtgeists can devour any part of a human's body without the normal detriments received by doing so.
* **Shadow Magic:** Aubax is a Royal, meaning he has the ability to use Shadow Magic, which allows him to heal even if his cells are unable to replicate, and can heal even his clothing and weapons. He also can shape shadows into any kinds of weapons he wants, and thus doesn't even have to lift his fingers to fight. Shadow Magic also allows for the absorbing of the vitality, minds, souls, and abilities of his opponents, which is the secret of his regeneration. The only thing that can destroy a Royal Nachtgeist is an **Adranium-Tochite Alloy**, a nigh-unforgeable metal that negates healing and magic.

**Marksman:** Aubax is supposedly skilled with his **Flintlock Pistols**.

## Weaknesses

**Nachtgeist Physiology:** Aubax is a Nachtgeist, and thus has all the weaknesses being a Nachtgeist has.

* **Adranium:** Though a weakness shared by humans, Nachtgeists' much higher reliance on their healing factors means that they are more likely to be crippled by this metal.
* **Enhanced Senses:** This is a double edged power, as a loud sound, foul smell or taste, flashing light or burst of pain could cripple a Nachtgeist.
* **Decapitation:** If a Nachtgeist is decapitated, their regeneration will not save them from death, whether or not the weapon used to decapitate them is Adranium or not.

**Arrogance:** Aubax seems to simply let most attacks hit him.

## Equipment

**Flintlock Pistols:** Aubax has two Flintlock Pistols that seem to be **Enchanted** to have infinite ammunition.

## Relationships

**Stanley Stewart:** Aubax seems to have been Stanley's archnemesis in a sense, and Stanley Aubax's. Aubax seems to find great joy in having a worthy opponent like Stanley, and willingly and happily praises him for landing hits on him. Aubax also seems to first admit that he doesn't know what his reasons for his monstrous acts are to Stanley.
