## History

### Obtaining Ghiara's Art

Giramel was born with high levels B-tetraxiline and developed a strange and unique art naturally. He wasn't born with the House affinity and for that was looked down upon from House elders. Even though Giramel proved to be a prodigy in the use of arts from a young age, his father Cero Bastion had been pressured to lock both his affinities in devil's pots and Giramel was told to focus on his Monkung training. Both pots kept breaking without being touched and eventually the Noble Academy of Arts extended an invitation to Giramel on the premise that House Bastion would stop locking his affinities. They also waived the large tuition fee for him to attend. Once there, Giramel was able to freely train his unique art and quickly gained proficiency with it. His professors named the unique art Ghiara's Art, after Holy Saint Ghiara from Avixian religious texts, who is known for her tenacious will and has the Saint moniker "The Bulwark".

### Desertion of Viridian

Giramel was the brother of Haruu Bastion. He was a very curious child, and from a young age had a fascination with the way the world works. Known as a child prodigy, he was able to master countless fighting styles and energy concepts at a young age.

## Abilities

### Ghiara's Art

Ghiara's Art is a unique enhancer art that allows for rapid positive and negative enhancing of attributes. Giramel can coat other object with his art, allowing him to make a basic stick stronger than diamond or a steel wall become brittle. The rate at which he can positively or negatively enhance an attribute is what makes the art truly special, allowing him to do what would take a normal enhancer several minutes in fractions of a second. After being enhanced by Ryazan, Giramel is able to spatially apply his art, giving him the ability to use his art without touching the object. He can effectively keep a selective diminishing barrier up at all times, which will rapidly negatively enhance any object he perceives as dangerous.

### Light Enhancer

Giramel has developed his light affinity into a basic light enhancer art.

### Dark Force Enhance

Giramel has developed his dark affinity into a dark enhancement art.

### Monkung

Giramel is trained in the use of Monkung, the special sword fighting style taught to the royalty in Viridian. Giramel was a child prodigy while still living in Viridian. Before he deserted the country, it is said that he could rival the current Monkung Grandmaster with his sword ability.

### Techniques

* **Ghiara -** This is Giramel's main technique. His art can coat a body part or whatever he is touching. Doing so turns the item pitch black with cracks of bright white light that show through. This greatly enhances the durability of the object. He generally uses this ability on the katana he carries with him.
	+ **Ghiara: Body of Light -** This technique changes Giramel's appearance. His hair turns white and his clothing turns bright white, maintaining its former appearance and giving him a white aura. This technique mixes Ghiara's enhance with his light enhance. In this form, Giramel severely diminishes his mass, making him extremely light. This allows him to move blindingly fast while also being extremely delicate, so much so that he could stand on a flower.
	+ **Ghiara: Body of Shadows -** This technique changes Giramel's appearance. His hair turns black and his clothing turns pitch black, maintaining its former appearance and giving him a black aura. This technique mixes Ghiara's enhance with his dark enhance. In this form, Giramel can drastically increase his mass, giving him a weight that can literally crush the ground as he walks. A simple flick could do devastating damage.
* **Light Flicker -** Giramel uses his light enhancer art on the soles of his feet, enabling him to move very fast from place to place, causing an after image to appear.
* **Ghiara's Holy City -** Giramel can shove his art into the ground, causing it to travel through the earth and reappear in a radius around him. This will negatively enhance the area within the radius to the point where energy cannot be used. Giramel uses this to force close combat fights especially on enemies with dangerous unique arts.
