Volen is a half-Anima half-Paragon being from Underhell, and the Purifier of the Primordius.

## Biography

Volen derives from a bond between an Anima and a Paragon, two races that were not meant to go hand-in-hand in the terms of reproduction. With the ideologies including Animas being completely pure, and Paragons being perfect, Volen had begun their life at a bad start. Their existence alone had debunked the validity of both of their parents, forcing them to be "purified" through the means of being sent to the Primordius alongside the Fiends.

Volen had a desire to prove themselves. To show to all that they were capable of being both worthy of Anima blood and Paragon body. With that very desire in mind, they had traversed below the clouds into the abyss, descending into the Primordius with only one goal in mind: purifying every single Fiend within the entirety of the impure lands.

### Personality

Volen's personality differs depending on the actions they commit within both the Holy route and the Purification route.

* Holy
* Purification

Volen is a caring, friendly being, imbued with an unbroken purity that cannot be matched. They are able to see the good in anything, though do not delude themselves through false ideals and beliefs that would only taint their vision of existence. They do not ignore the negatives, though instead are willing to rid them through passive means, truly displaying love unlike anything else. Volen is very passive, rarely getting frightened, shocked or angry. When agitated, they only reflect their negativity through prayers, and never allow their emotions to get in the way of their goals.

Volen tends to adapt to those he's around, notably taking their interests and trying to appease them in manners involving that. They often like to eat instant noodles, especially ones with soy sauce. They resent fighting, unless it is through the means of competitive nature and shares no emotional conflict between the opponents. Despite that fact, Volen still is heavily trained in the manner of combat. They are strictly defensive, and combat best against close range, suffering most to long range.

Alongside their pacifistic nature, they can be rather blunt at times. Volen is a big hugger, and commonly sees it as the best thing to do to make someone happy. However, if they feel it necessary, they are willing to be blunt or even slightly harsh in honesty if needs be. They are not afraid to say what needs to be said, yet are certain to never say it in the wrong way. They never speak sarcastically, and always are sure to give their enemies the same love they give towards their friends. They have a strange fear towards being the cause of another person's death, which gives them subconsciously defensive instincts around people. Overall, Volen is loving, cherishable and kind, never letting their feelings affect their goals. They are perfectly pure.

At first glance, it's easy to assume Volen is emotionless. Following a cold, blank expression with their eyes locked together, they come off as rather eerie in person. They have no private life, as privacy is not a thing they need. Completely selfless, Volen has no form of self-care, willing to get damaged to any severity in order to accomplish their goal. They are strictly focused on their goal to purify everything corrupt, and never dares let anything get in their way. They reject all forms of social life, considering the quality of putting one's own desire for friendship over their own purity a neglectful act, and one that requires purifying.

Volen does not cater towards anyone, barely having a form of personality at all in the first place. They never speak openly, unless they are making demands or attempting to provide points. Otherwise, they are possibly the most silent being in all of both the Primordius and the Sanctuarium. They are willing to take lives if done in a "humane" way, following the old scriptures that defined the lives of pigs and such only for the survival of the higher race. As Volen was taught that their race was the highest, they consider all impurities that a person has as more a reason to think of them as inferior. Volen is very aggressive in battle, though is able to perfectly counter every single attack imaginable under the scale of reality manipulation, given that their instincts are above their emotions.

Volen is completely incapable of fear, never able to feel unsettled at all. Nothing whatsoever can get even a shiver out of them. They can never cry, as their body has adapted to the lifestyle they carry that their tear ducts collapsed. They are completely pure, and any attempt to corrode them with what they consider impure is a death sentence. The lifestyle Volen carries is the one they are devoted to ensuring others feel, and will never give up on that. It is their duty, and they will never fail it. They are free of all bias; they cease to let anything inflict them. They are perfectly pure.
## Abilities

All of these abilities, with the sole exception of **Peaceful Rest**, **Silver Kiss** and **Omniscient Dagger**, are only functional in the Purification route, as Volen needs to be emotionlessly pure to have the abilities take effect.

### One's Own Gambit

If Volen inflicts damage on themselves within a stressful situation (most commonly battle), they will be unable to be attacked in that general area until that wound heals. The severity of the injury is very decisive of the way they cannot be attacked in that area. For mild wounds, such as scratches, the area is simply unbreakable, or able to be tainted in another way. If they are to bleed from the wound, it will be far too slippery for any attack to land, no matter its friction capabilities. For the wound to be so grand a hole is present, that hole will incinerate anything within it through an acidic, water-like substance.

### Judas' Travesty

If one is to feel guilt over a lie, Volen is able to sense the falsities of their words and use it against them. They can subconsciously warp the view of that who lied to try and repent for their sins, attempting to reveal the truth of their lies to whoever they lied to. If they are unable to, such as the person who they lied to dying, or fated to never meet with the person who is trying to repent, a kill switch will activate in the mind of the liar, giving them an unbreakable determination to kill themselves through the means of a long noose, commonly hanging from a tree.

### Peaceful Rest

When cast upon a zone of grand light that flourishes against their pale skin, they are able to store a moment in time in case they go impure through death, and instantly return to that point and continue their adventure. This is not a reset nor a load, as it does not involve timelines whatsoever in this action. It is simply a time rewind to the point they were at peace.

### Silver Kiss

Through resting their lips on another's vessel for over three seconds, they may enter a telepathic connection with whom they rested their lips on. At that moment, with consent from the other, they may delve into their mind and find out about their deepest secrets. At that moment, they will telepathically grant them advice in the manner of a second, each word easy to digest and understand. If the person who was kissed is willing to accept the advice and suggestions on what to do, they will be permanently blessed with an enchantment that allows for them to overcome any emotional difficulty. However, if they are to betray the trust of Volen, they will be permanently cursed with a specialised variant of Dreamer's Disease, giving them visions of people watching them until they die.

### Omniscient Dagger

Volen carries a blade that consists of wood that was used for crucifixions of divine beings, specifically that which was unfair for said being. This blade has multiple eyes carved into it, and upon impaling a being, Volen may have access to their entire past, personality, future and views. Once this is done, Volen has two options. Upon pulling the blade out, the being that was stabbed will suddenly be relieved of any stressful feeling that they may have been carrying at that moment. However, upon twisting the blade, the being will suddenly turn a light grey, and lose all form of past, personality and views. The only thing they will retain is their accent, alongside various parts of their past solely off of muscle memory. While they will have no understanding of what it means, they may repeat iconic things they once knew.

### Divine Energy

Volen is able to employ a holy energy onto their body, giving them various abilities. They may charge various orifices with a divine light that can cast out a beam of pure light, healing people with the severity fluctuating on the scale of their faith that it will heal them. They may also charge their limbs with the energy, causing it to glow a white-yellow. This will give them extreme enhancements in said limbs, from super speed to super strength. They may also suspend themselves in air from sheer dominance over gravity.

## Weaknesses

Volen will never attack anyone out of emotional feeling, whether it's Holy or Purification. If their opponent shows no signs of impurity, Volen will never fight them. Within battle, Volen is weak to long range severely, as all of their abilities are close-mid range.

## Relationships

### the Sanctuarium

the Sanctuarium is Volen's residential area, and the only realm of existence they rest in. It holds a close bond to them, and without it, they would never truly be pure.

### the Primordius

Volen sees the Primordius as potential itself. Everything within their, corrupt and ruined, yet fully capable of being as pure as them. With their devotion to purity, they are guaranteed to try and purify the realm.

## Trivia

* Volen's love for instant noodles in the Holy route comes from their interactions with a strange, mouthless entity.
