Hero Clan

## Hero

The **Heroes** (勇者ゆうしゃ, *Yuusha*) are one of the Five Great Factions in *Vampyre, Knights and Boobs*, alongside the Vampyres, Devils, Seraphs and Fallen Angels.

## History

Over three-thousand years ago, the Head Gods of each mythology and religion create the man that would come to be known as the Original Hero, and one-thousand five-hundred years later, formed the Hero Clan with King Arthur, Sir Lancelot Du Lac, and the other Knights of the Round Table. The Heroes had been fighting the Vampyres, Devils and Fallen Angels for many years until Marius became the Vampyre Lord and stopped war between the Heroes and the Vampyres.

During the Great Mythology War, Jin Uther Pendragon, a descendent of King Arthur and who the rest of the hero clan viewed as being the "Strongest Hero" even at the age of fourteen fought throughout the entire battlefield and he defeated a number of high-class demons and vampyres hailed as a War God, or as they named, the "Silver Slaughter". There were people who started to say that Azazel, the leader of the Fallen Angels pulled back his troops in fear of his combat prowess and monstrous strength.

Soon after the Great Mythology War ended, Arthur Pendragon, who was hailed as a genius even at a young age (who was unknowingly conceived in the midst of the battle as the child of Maria Karnstein, but was soon carried in the womb the Ouroboros Dragon Goddess Ophys) started his training with the others his age. The Elders viewed him as being the hope for the next generation of heroes due to his inherent skill the Banishing Shift and possessing the mid-tier Longinus, the Boosted Pump. Though after the former head of the village, Mordred who wasn't satisfied with the current form of peace between the Five Factions, he went into a shrine where the holy swords, Caliburn and Excalibur lied dormant and attempted to wield it to battle the vampyre, demon and fallen angel races.

However, after losing control over himself causing the evil spirit of the Fallen Angel Kokabiel within Caliburn to possess him, Mordred then went on full a rampage attacking the area where the children such as Arthur, Tomoe, Lancelot and Elaine were all training. The adults defending the kids were all killed one by one, then even the children were mercifully killed by the rampaging Mordred. After he witnessed his friends killed and Tomoe, Lancelot and Elaine were to be killed, Arthur released the Banishing Shift, and learned of his possession of the Longinus Incinerate Anthem and activated his own Overdrive, petrifying and annihilating everything in the immediate area along with the evil spirit sealed in Caliburn, as well as the corpses of the adults and children; leaving himself, Tomoe, Lancelot, Elaine, a petrified Mordred, Excalibur and Caliburn, which both chose him as their wielder to preserve itself remaining.

Though Arthur stopping the rampage of the hero and saving others such as Tomoe, Lancelot and Elaine, the Elders viewed Arthur as being too dangerous and decided to seal him along with the twin holy swords. However, Jin, Siegfried, the Nonaka and Du Lac Families, and others defended the young hero causing the Elders to instead strip him of his title as a hero and banished him with Jin, Le Fay, Siegfried and the Du Lac family going alongside him.

## Abilities And Powers

Members of the Hero Clan possess abilities different from that of humans. Heroes undergo unique conditioning as children, displaying superhuman abilities able to rival that of vampyres and demons, as well as heal from even serious injuries in a short span of time than normal. There are others who are also proficient in various weapons and magic which is based on their personal preferences or talents.

There is also a natural custom for most humans to receive blessings or form pacts with various spirits as shown by Kaoru; forming contracts with unique weapons like Arthur who wields Caliburn, Excalibur and Gram, Lancelot who wields Arondight and Byakkomaru, a divine weapon possessed by one of the four gods, and Tomoe who wields Sakuya, Durandal and several demon swords, and Percevall Gowther who wields Seiryumaru, a divine weapon possessed by one of the four gods. Those heroes in possession of their own weapons, Heroes has shown to be able to summon them in their hands at will as well as manifest silver armor on their bodies, which seem to release their power the more armor that covers their bodies.

**Ki Manipulation**: There have been combatants among the Hero Clan who've been able to use ki, and by extent Touki, which is of an abundance on Earth, however, most times heroes have relied on the powers of the Four Gods instead and even exists in the Five Elements. As shown with Kokichi and Oliver, it can be used to sense things such as both "killing intent" and "presence", which is also apart of ki letting heroes predict the attacks of others. It is also possible to be utilized to overload the ki of others putting them in a near-dead state, as well as release ki wave. Well-Trained ki users can even absorb the ki found in the main five elements letting them cover themselves in a different colored aura: Fire (Red), Metal (White), Wood (Blue), Earth (Yellow), and Water (Black). However, how ki is used is based on the spirit of the user, meaning that most were limited to their own ki.
