Dymitri Danerk

Dymitri Danerk is the fourth chronological character in the modern eleblem warriors series, Dymitri is the first character in the series to not be deemed an actual Eleblem Warrior within the world. Dymitris story acts as the beginning to the "Sunrise" trilogy arc. Dymitris personality is volatile, constantly becoming more bitter as time goes on and more events affect him deeper and deeper however he has the highest intelligence out of any character in the whole series. Dymitri possesses the green Danerki Eleblem, the sigil being a cog in the middle of two pistols crossed over each other. His main power is known as "Create", being able to assemble anything his mind is able to think of if he understands how the thing he assembles works or functions in a level of detail. Dymitri also has previous abilities due to the Danerki Eleblem being a stackable eleblem, featuring the abilities: Great Sword, Crystals, Beam, Flames, Climkx orb, Ribbons, Portal and Gunslinger. Dymitri is a Konrei, so has the features of one, his other features include a height of 5'11, brown medium length spiked hair with blonde highlights on his fringe, pale skin, green eyes, short nose and dimples. His usual attire is a slim leather jacket, baggy turquoise t-shirt, two belts wrapped around his waist, tight black pants and leather military boots. Fun fact, his clothing is reminiscent of Alex Dymitri his grandfather due to Ivy telling him stories of her father being the one to create the grounds for Alex's revival.

## Early Life

Dymitri was born on the 29th December 1999 to Jay Danerk and Ivy Skyvila, in the town of Breila, located in the nation of Northern Zent. Jay would be gone by the time Dymitri was born, but would return when he was 4 years old now stuck in the final stand state. Due to how horrific Jay looked in this form, Dymitri wouldn't go near him and would cry at the sight of his fathers appearance, prompting Jay to leave just a year later believing he couldn't raise him while he looked the way he did. At the age of 6 Dymitri began attending school, where he would meet Zack and quickly they became best friends along with others in later years. At the age of 13 Dymitri would go to business school with Zack and their friend group consisting of Lily, Winston, Anastasia and Zoey. Later on in his studies, he met three other people who were Silas, Aura and Kat, these three attended the Hero school which was on the same campus and Dymitri quickly became friends with them. Dymitri, Zack and the rest of their friend group would pursue founding a business focused on robotics, as Dymitris eleblem allowed him to create blueprints for robots and other weapons, while Zack was able to sell them with his marketing abilities. They would found the Sunrise corporation after they completed school at 17 and almost immediately started becoming rich from others buying their robots and weapons, getting contracted by the northern Zent government in order to continue the ongoing war in the south. However Dymitri was against selling weapons to the government to help a war, yet everyone else voted for the company to go through with it leading to Dymitri leaving the corporation and all of his work.

## A new hero emerges

Dymitri would be contacted by the friends he made who went to the hero school, Silas wanted him to join their new group even if he hadn't officially been trained as a hero. Due to the vigilante clause, Dymitri would be able to legally operate as an unofficial hero and he would soon accept to join their group, known as Team Elowen. As Dymitri had grown up on stories of his ancestors, he chose his hero name to be Smile after his great grandfather Jason. Dymitri would create his own mask, a round helmet over his head with an LED screen across the front that lit up green into a smile and could change to represent expressions, along with tweaking his jacket and pants to have holes for his ribbons to come out through his skin and be fireproof. He would also add black gloves with grip on the palms to help where needed.

### Robotic Nightmare

The "Power Droid Incident" took place on the 28th November 2018, the incident occurred after an eleblem power factory shut down production and the droids within began attacking engineers, Silas and his group were called in to destroy the robots due to Dymitris knowledge of his own creations. Dymitri would enter the dark facility and looked over the inanimate droids, which he found were now being powered with eleblem energy when his original design had them powered by battery and solar energy. In his own confusion, he would let his guard down and was attacked by the droid as it activated. Silas and Aura entered the facility through a window and found all of the engineers dead, the ones with eleblems had their energy drained directly from the eleblem which could only be presumed as an excruciating death. Kat would survey the facilities outskirts to find any open doors, soon finding the fire exit open yet no alarm being triggered upon its opening, rather an engineer escaped or one of the droids did. At this moment, the three of them could hear a scuffle inside the building and they went into the room to find Dymitri fighting the droid powered by eleblem energy. The droid seemed to be conscious, looking around at them all before using its purple eleblem energy to fire out a burst attack of energy to send them all flying to the walls as the droid ran to the fire exit, quickly escaping and leaving the four confused at the situation. The rest of the droids were shut down, no eleblem energy inside of them and they all had regular batteries. Only that single droid had been modified to be able to take eleblem energy. Silas would report the incident to the local government, which soon put out a warning to all heroes to stop and destroy the droid on sight if found. The incident became known as the "Power Droid Incident".

### Taking A Bullet

Silas and his team would spend time trying to track the escaped eleblem energy powered droid, leading to the events of April 12th 2019. The droid had constantly been extracting more energy from other peoples eleblems, only to run away from Silas and his team once they found the droid. Eventually the droid would become cornered in a sunrise facility, Dymitri still had access using his fingerprints so he and Kat entered the facility together while Silas and Aura ensured no sunrise guards would come and interrupt them as the company also wanted to capture his runaway droid for testing. Dymitri and Kat would confront the droid, which now had absorbed mulitple eleblems and their energy causing it to be immensly powerful on the same scale as Dymitris stacked eleblem. Kat would use her bounce ability to quickly make it to the other end of the room and kick the droid, being quick enough to beat the droids processing capabilities and she landed it. Dymitri joined the fight by creating a portal and jumping immediently over to where the droid was hit and let crystals shoot out of the ground and hit the droid. The droid quickly shot a blast from its hands and completely destroyed the crystals, turning the green crystal shards purple and immediately using them against Dymitri by letting the shards fly directly at him, causing him to send ribbons out of his body to bat them away quickly and pulling out two pistols to fire at the droid. After being shot up the droid would be kicked again by Kat, turning it around and letting it quickly fire an energy bullet at her. Dymitri would use a portal and jumped through it to be hit in the chest with it. Instead of backing down, he would let flames grow across his chest and arms, cauterizing the wound and burning his skin while he grabbed the droid and melted its face while in his own anger. He'd then throw it to the floor and shot the canisters containing the eleblem energy, putting an end to the living droid and subsequently burning most of his upper body from his own eleblem, causing him to collapse from the injuries he sustained.

### Her Power

News of the "Horizon Incident" in Lynthria had reached those in Zent. The incident caused the Horizon Corporation to be absorbed by the Sunrise corporation, mixing the eleblem energy tests of Horizon with the Robotics of Sunrise. During this time, a new CEO would come in place over Zack yet he would remain publicly as leader of the Sunrise corp. After this, the company would begin testing AI and how eleblem energy and people in general may play a part in it, leading to "Project Nova" beginning on the 12th September 2019 where they would attempt to place a persons mind and eleblem into a machine to make it living, similar to the melted droid they had collected in their facility. Their chosen candidate would be Ivy Skyvila, as her eleblem caused her intellect to be excellent above anyone else. In doing this, they sent agents to visit her once to "talk about her sons exit in the company" while in reality they infected her with a virus that would deteriorate her like a cancer while preserving her brain and would allow them to take her body after what would seem like a normal death. Zack had thought of this plan, after being told who was the target of the project by his boss, and the company would execute the plan.

## Battle Lost.

Dymitri would be told his mother was dying of cancer, and spent days, weeks and months caring for her instead of working as a vigilante hero with team Elowen. Doctors would inform Dymitri that the cancer was elusive and acted different to how a cancer should function, leading to the more skeptical parts of his mind starting to turn in the background as he cared for his mother at any point he could. Inevtiably, Ivy would pass on the 9th March 2020 leaving Dymitri heartbroken and grieving her death.

### Grief

Dymitri would become unstable after his mothers death, being forced to leave her side by the hospital and doctors later telling him the cancer acted normally and any statements of it being odd was false. Now with the death of his mother on his grief stricken mind, he would return to the hero group now much more unstable and not attempting to hold back against criminals. After witnessing Dymitris outbursts and watching as he murdered a group of criminals, Silas would refuse to work with him and removed him from the group, with Kat joining his removal by choice as she sympathized with Dymitris pain. Dymitri and Kat would then use his apartment as their own base, and as Kat was a registered hero Dymitri could still act as a vigilante. Yet he didn't improve, and only continued to kill criminals more brutally as a way to deal with his own grief, with Kat hoping he could get better by her being by his side and comforting him. During all this, Silas and Aura would be investigating the death of Ivy and tracked it back to the Sunrise corporation after finding out they were the ones funding the hospital and that Ivy's cancer was extremely abnormal, with the doctors not focusing on her as much as they should. After they had found this out, they would decide to tell Dymitri about his mother and asked him to meet them.

### Farewell to the Heroes

Dymitri would arrive at the Elowen base, only to find it ransacked and blood everywhere. Moving further into the base with caution he would find the body of Aura already dead, then a shot would ring out in the building as he rushed over to find a newly dead Silas, with a person in a black bodysuit standing over them with a gun. The masked individual saw Dymitri and before they could act Dymitri would raise his pistol, shooting them in the head. He stood there, staring blankly at the bodies and the blood as it spread across the floor. Eventually the sound of a radio snapped him out of it, making him approach the body of the masked induvial and grab the radio. He moved it close to him to listen to it while unmasking the person, the radio saying "Is it done? Confirm if you completed the silencing. Nobody should know, not even *him*." Under the mask was Lily, his old friend from school and a founding member of Sunrise corp. Dymitri knew what it meant, it made him sick to his stomach. Both of his best friends were dead, and he had executed one of his old friends too. Dymitri would collect all documents and files, saving everything on the computers onto a USB drive and then called the police.

### Time moves on

Dymitri would grieve the death of his friends, but after losing so much so quick he would have Kat place the documents in a secure safe with a code only she knew and they left them for another day. He went on with his life, attended the funerals of Silas and Aura, the nagging side of his brain wanted revenge yet Kat consoled him, helped him through everything as they both had lost their friends. Dymitri would one day wake up, go on with his day and not once would the thought of the documents be on his mind, he would give up on being a hero and instead started his own repair shop with Kat. They would get married, and have a daughter, letting time pass on as Dymitris mind became sound. Sunrise corporation continued to grow, yet he did not let it plague his mind and instead of facing the problem of Sunrise he instead just lived his life.

## His revenge is served cold

It was the 26th of October 2023, three years after the death of Silas and Aura, Dymitri's mind wouldn't let up today, all those times he had asked Kat for the combination to the safe she was there to calm his mind but today he didn't ask her. Dymitri approached the safe, crouched down and began to go through every combination he could think of and after what felt like hours of failure, the safe creaked open and the old documents fell out. Dymitri was apprehensive, taking time to stare at the pieces of paper before finally picking them up and reading through them as the familiar pit in his stomach grew. All those years ago, he ran away from it, he reported it to the police and listened to Kats pleas for him to let them rest but now he realized it was a mistake. The documents confirmed that Sunrise killed his friends, murdered them without a thought so he wouldn't know something. "know what?" Dymitri thought, turning to the next file and reading through only to feel his hands grip tense up, he was reading a message that they failed to give him all that time ago, the thing they were killed for. He'd drop the documents, and sneaked his down to the basement of his house. Dymitri grabbed his tools and everything he needed and left, leaving a note for Kat to read.

### I Need Them To See My Justice.

Dymitri would enter an old room, brushing off dust from the door as he walked past, stepping on long dried blood, turning on the lights to reveal a faded Team Elowen sign sprayed on the concrete wall, surrounded by sprays and tags of graffiti artists who sought to add to the art over the years. Dymitri set down his tools onto an old dusted table, soon getting to work. On the wall would be the pin board, pictures of faces put on it as he pinned red string to connect each one. Lily, Winston, Anastasia, Zoey and Zack. Lily was already long dead by now, prompting him to cross her face off of the board. He then looked to a chair by the table he set up his tools on, a new suit now sat in it and waiting for him to put it on. He approached, putting his arms into the leather sleeves with spiked shoulders, sliding his legs through rough pants and fastening the large black boots to his feet. On the table was a new mask, opening in the middle and moving both parts of the mask to either side, splitting it, he'd place it on his head, close the mask and then the green lights switched on to reveal a smiling face. His head turned to the pin board, looking at a picture of a building that all the faces connected to, Sunrise HQ.

### Dymitris Crusade

1st November 2023, Dymitri would enter through the main entrance with his suit and mask on holding his summoned sword in hand, He walked past reception, and when security attempted to stop him he would just slash through them. Walking further on past their bodies, he kept going, the building immediately started to go into lockdown as people fled, he kept going. Once he reached the elevators, the doors opened and within seconds he was attacked by multiple flying knives that clinked off of his improved armor, allowing them to fly back like boomerangs into the elevator. Out came Zoey, her floating knives circling around her back as she stared him down. Before she could get a word out, he'd send crystals flying into her, sending her through the elevator wall and into the storerooms. Dymitri pursued her with his sword in hand and jumped through the hole in the wall with the clash of his sword hitting the empty ground. Knives came flying out of the darkness of the room, and his ribbons quickly deflected them as he turned and pulled out a pistol to shoot into the dark. Zoey came from the side and slammed into him, piercing the side of his armor with force and stabbing into him. Dymitri coughed, kicking her away as she moved back into the dark, causing him to click his fingers and set the tips alight to give the room more light. She came again at him, causing him to grab the knife by the blade and headbutt her to make her be put off guard. Soon summoning his sword once more and stabbing it directly into her stomach. She'd send all of her knives into him in this moment, her final stand taking effect and making the power of her blades stronger and now letting all of them stab directly into his chest and back. He'd pull his sword out of her with a huff, slicing her body multiple times with it as he felt the knives digging further inside seeking to go straight through him. Dymitri would then kick her body back, her final stand ending as soon as it begun and the knives faded away to dust as she fell onto the floor. Bleeding, with an already torn up suit and multiple stab wounds, Dymitri would get to his knees and try to breathe. In that moment, he would feel something cool running through his body and a moment later he passed out.
