Ike

The legendary dragon slayer of Capellus now the most powerful equipment one can possess.

## Backstory

### Pre-Chapter Zero

During the events of Chapter 0 and before, Ike was known as, "The Legendary Dragon Slayer Ike Snoopdog" as he had slain one of Capellus' 3 dragons. No one knows how he did it, but it has been rumors of seeing him use strange magical powers, of course, those who made those rumors were seen as insane and were jailed for these nonsensical claims. However, these rumors ended up being true. During Ike's hunt for one of the 3 dragons with only a sword and armor, he had absorbed some Fire aether from the dragon and used it without thinking. The dragon was surprised by this attack as no mortals had aether during that time, so it was a heavy blow to the dragon and it rendered it stunned. Ike, taking advantage of the stunned dragon, came and dealt a barrage of attacks. Each blow resulted in Ike absorbing more and more aether], eventually resulting in the dragon's death and Ike's body mutating and creating aether ducts and a new aether system. Word of him slaying the dragon quickly spread, and the aether he used had left a large burn scar on his arm, which he'd always lie and say that the dragon dealt it.

### Chapter Zero

In between Ike's first dragon kill and chapter 0, Ike masters his aether due to training where civilization wouldn't witness him, because he knew he'd be labeled as a warlock if society did. Eventually, he was sought out by Jay to be trained due to Ike's reputation of killing the dragon and swiftly defeating countless bandit groups effortlessly. Normally, Ike wouldn't train anyone, but Jay wanted to be trained for the most preposterous idea: to kill every single god. Ike was baffled by this idea, and asked him why he wanted to do so. Jay's reasoning ended up being because he wanted to fulfill a bet and impress the devil herself, Peppercorn. Due to how serious and determined Jay sounded while stating his idea, Ike accepted Jay's request and instructed him that they'd need to slay the other 2 dragons of Capellus. Eventually, they slew the remaining 2 dragons, gaining more power than that of later generations. After gaining all of this power, they trained for 5 years, mastering their new abilities and decided to start their god slaying journey. Throughout this journey, the 3rd god had sealed Ike into his blade thinking that'd give him the upper hand. Ike ultimately commanded Jay to wield him as if he was a normal blade, and to defeat the god using him. Ike was able to merge his strength he had with the blade, making it a god slaying weapon, allowing Jay to defeat the remaining gods effortlessly. Directly after the battle, Ike tells his pupil that he will stay as a blade because he wants Jay to have the credit for slaying these gods, so Jay went on to eventually face Zeus himself.

### Post Chapter Zero

Ike resides in Heaven next to Jay, who is now Lord Jaysus, still as a blade. For years he just sat and observed the now aether filled haurthalessy. During the third generation, Jaysus asks Ike if he could un-seal himself and move to his old helmet as he wanted to gift the armor to Peppercorn, but he also wanted to keep an eye on her. Ike, realizing he would miss being a blade, splits himself into two beings. The new Ike has the build and appearance of an average teenager. Jay is baffled that Ike is attached to his sword state, but doesn't question it and sends the helmet off to his engineering Angels] to start refining and perfecting the helmet, which lasted two generations as Jay was dissatisfied with the quality each time it was returned.During the fourth generation, Ike witnesses the development of Scholas. Ike, curious because of the structure of the castle, sent Angels to go ask what the purpose of Scholas] is. The leader of the council informed the Angels and what it was going to become. Ike tells the Angels to ask the council leader if he'd be okay that a god that has been around for every single generation, wanted to come down and become the headmaster of the Academy of Aether. The council leader was delighted to hear that Ike wanted to become the headmaster of the AoA, so he immediately told the Angels to tell Ike he wanted him and would like to see him as soon as possible. Ike unseals himself from the blade, his appearance now being that of an old, wise, well-built male, realizes he still is attached to the blade and splits himself for the third time. Every Angel in the room sighed in unison at the sight of the new child Ike that immediately sealed himself inside of the blade. The origional Ike says his goodbyes to Jay and every single Angel and departs to Scholas.
