Hope

*“We are Ogaji's new hope! G, we will stop you, no matter how long it takes!”*

— Hope confronting Genesis

* Original
* Doomsday

Gods of Ogaji

**Hope** (also referred to as **Elop** in legend,) is the fusion of Zachary and Lavender Frost, a being designed to be the ultimate weapon against the prophesized Greatest Evil. They are incomplete, however, as they are only a fusion of two of the Children of Destiny. They are the dual Elemental Master of Form and Time. When combined with their brother, G, they form the ultimate hero: Destiny.

They are first seen in the finale of *Children of Destiny* and appear as a major protagonist in *Doomsday*.

At the falling of the Star of Closing, Hope wished to take Fira's place as the God of Terra in the Sacred Realm. They existed there watching over Ogaji for several decades before the Sacred Realm was invaded by Oni, and Hope and the other gods were killed.

In the Light Timeline, following the timeline reset in *Sleeping Slaves*, Hope assisted the rest of the Elemental Masters in defeating Nightmarre. Hope was merged with G Frost to form Destiny.

## Appearance

Hope has gold skin and dark red hair. Their eyes are two different colors, orange and red, representing both halves that they make up. They typically wear a white ninja gi with orange sleeves and gold armor.

The pattern for their suits is a Kai torso, and Kai's legs five suits back. Their original outfit is of Kai's Destiny Gi in white and orange, with a red dragon doing Airjitzu on it, and Kai's Kimono legs in white and orange.

Hope's Doomsday Gi is Kai's Honor Robe in white and orange and Techno Robe legs in pure orange.

## History

### *Children of Destiny*

Hope was first formed in the season finale of *Children of Destiny* when Zack and Lavender both reached their True Potential at the same time. They combined their powers in order to stop their evil brother, but they were still not strong enough together, and were killed.

Their soul was sent to the Sacred Realm where they waited for the final battle to approach along with the rest of the fallen Elemental masters.

### *Doomsday*

In the final battle against Genesis, every hero was blasted out into Ogaji to face off with their own respective villains except for Tom and Hope. The two of them were left alone with Genesis in the Ethereal Divide. While they battle it out, they discover that G's master plan is to absorb the three Masters of Golden Light's powers to turn himself human, so his power will be unlimited. Hope sees a fault in this plan, because while he is an android, he does not have any physical limits, he will gain them if he was to suddenly become a human for the first time.

Tom and Hope lure G out of the divide and let him steal the powers of Milo, Timothy, and Kaitlin, but the plan backfired, and Genesis became fully unstoppable. As a last-ditch effort at victory, the Elemental Masters left standing focused all of their power on Hope's staff, which they used to age G hundreds of years in the future so that all of the Dark Magic in him faded.

With their brother finally defeated, they took up the mantle in the Sacred Realm as the God of Terra.

### Time in the Sacred Realm

For several decades, Hope remained in the Sacred Realm performing the duties of the God of Terra. Along with Milo and Llide, they watched over Ogaji from above the clouds. In Ogajian folklore, their name is often misspelled "Elop."

## Powers and Abilities

### Form

* **Shapeshifting** - The user can shapeshift to change their form and the clothes they are currently wearing, transforming and reshaping themselves with orange/yellow energy running on the user of the power. The element is a very tricky power, useful for manipulating enemies. In a way they can change into different people, some users of Form can transform into different animals/beasts.

### Time

* **Chronokinesis** - The user is able to manipulate and control time.
* **Chronoportation** - Allows the user to travel through the past or the future.
	+ **Timehole Creation:** The user can create portals that can travel through time.
* **Time Reduction** - Allows the user to slow down time, reducing the movement speed of the affected object, person, or area.
* **Time Acceleration** - Allows the user to speed up time forward. It can be used to accelerate the aging of an opponent or to make the user "teleport" by accelerating their own time for short periods.
* **Temporal Rewind** - Allows the user to rewind time. It can be used to restore youth to themselves or others or to negate a dangerous situation by reversing time until a moment prior to the event, allowing the user to adjust or prepare accordingly.
* **Time Stopping** - Allows the user to pause time, freezing the target of their power. This appears to involve red temporal energy.
* **Multiversal Travel** - Allows the user to travel throughout the infinite multiverse connected to their universe by time and space.

## Personality

Hope is a fusion of Zack and Lavender, but their existence is entirely for the purposes of being a hero. They possess a strong desire for justice, taken from their two halves.

Zack and Lavender will often speak to each other independently, more often than not bickering about something or other.

## Author's Notes

* I think this used to be one of my least favorite characters for a while because of how they have usually been depicted. The only time I ever made a design for this character was when I was doing promo stuff for *Doomsday* on my Instagram account, and I absolutely hated the design I was using. The long orange hair with the Sharpee marker all over it and the poorly done suit that I printed on... oh my god. And the times that they appeared were really lackluster too, which is why I ended up creating Destiny so many years later cause I always felt like this character was kind of incomplete.
	+ The redesign I did for them is one of my best works methinks.
* This is my first non-binary character! Because it's the fusion of a boy and a girl I didn't feel like calling it she or he or whatever. This character is also made up of two people so it uses plural pronouns but can be used in the singular way as well.
* This character got their name from the Prophecy of the Hero of Light, where it says "the Children of Destiny will **restore hope** to the land." This dictated that their fusion together was fate, and it literally brought "Hope" to Ogaji, as well as figurative hope to the land as well.
* Hope's name in legend is often called "Elop," going after the naming scheme from the *Legend of Zelda* series that the other gods follow.
	+ Hope is a stand-in for the Goddess of Power, Din, who's name in legend is often called "Eldin." Hope's name referred to in legend is "Elop."
