Ayet

Ayet is a minor protagonist-turned-antagonist in The First Resistance, as well as a minor protagonist in Escape From Whitegate and Cataclysm. A synthetic angel created to serve The Council of Life, Ayet eventually went rogue after becoming corrupted with madness. They lack any semblance of humanity or character, due to them being "pure". While a Demon is the personification of sins or flaws of mortals, an angelic being such as Ayet was beyond anything recognizably mortal, which was also the reason for their nightmare-inducing appearance.

## History

### Creation

At the height of the war with The Xir'algath, The Council of Life faced a shortage of warriors to combat their enemy. With one third of their population corrupted and turned into Demons in the attempted insurrection mounted by Donatello, they were left more vulnerable to The Xir'algath's wrath. In an attempt to combat this shortage, The Council ordered the creation of more synthetic angels by Homonculus.

The first of these angelic beings to be created following this order was Ayet. Ayet's origin, however was more unconventional compared to those of the other synthetic angels. They were not created from scratch, but rather began their existence as a sentient star. This star desired a living body, and discovered an opportunity for this wish to be granted when The Council of Life discovered it in their travels across The Multiverse. They formed a pact which entailed that a body would be created for the star, in exchange for the star's services as a warrior. The contract was signed, and the star was transformed by Homonculus into a synthetic angel named Ayet, "That Which Glares From The Sun".

In their service to The Council of Life, Ayet fought against and killed many Xir'algath, amassing an impressive body count. Over time, Ayet and Archangel Raphael bonded with each-other in battle, becoming close comrades and Brothers-in-Arms.

However, Ayet alone was not enough to meet The Council of Life's demand for angelic warriors. Thus, three more prominent synthetic angels would be created by Homonculus. These would be known as The Sealers - Saint Rellidina, Sable Warrior and "Gone". While The Council publicly claimed that these "Sealers" were just another line of synthetic angels to help their cause, there was also another secret purpose to them. The Sealers, as implied by their name, were also created as part of a contingency, should Ayet have ever turned rogue.

While these three beings served their purpose well, there was one notable incident during this time which Ayet played a role in. In secret, "Gone" had been in communication with The Collect, desiring greater power from them. He would eventually be granted this, and became "Vessel 7: Gone". The initial integration process went awry, causing "Gone" to temporarily black out in a rampage of madness as he lost control of himself. Ayet would eventually succeed in containing and restabilizing "gone" after battling him.

### Pre-First Resistance

After The Xir'algath were defeated and banished, Ayet appeared to The Council only when they felt that they must. His brotherly bond with Raphael also weakened slightly over time. Although unconfirmed, The Collect may have been subtly manipulating Ayet throughout this entire period, toying with them.

### The First Resistance

In the year 1978 (in Prime Universe time), the Sacred Seal which kept The Xir'algath trapped was suddenly and completely broken. Ayet could have even been behind this, although this is unconfirmed.
Ayet was assigned by The Council of Life to patrol the sanctuary planet of Lamurix, which was under their sanction, in the Prime Universe. During Ayet's watch, The Xir'algath suddenly invaded. They fought against the invaders, seemingly holding their own quite fine, but was soon also joined by a Ciestaal, Styrke, Inhlenor, Surius, Hydron, Kyran, and id named Truth, Archangel Raphael and several mortal humans. Ayet was embittered by the company of all these beings, seemingly offended by the idea of being "helped".

Over the near-year of this battle against The Xir'algath, Ayet's mental state slowly gradually worsened. Eventually, Ayet suddenly went insane and tried to kill everyone. Archangel Michael summoned the Three Sealers, who imprisoned Ayet in Whitegate fortress.

### Pre-Escape from Whitegate

Following their imprisonment, Ayet was incredibly enraged, and in retaliation they began to regularly discharge volatile solar flares from themself, especially when others were near. These flare-outs became increasingly difficult to contain. So, to redirect the energy output and put it to use, as well as "correct" Ayet, The Council of Life tried something unorthodox. Ayet was given the cruel and unusual punishment of being used as a living battery for the prison.

### Escape from Whitegate

When the prisoners of Whitegate Fortress began mounting a plan to break out, Ayet once again started acting up. When the power was cut from the prison and everyone escaped, Ayet did as well. However, they did not side with Queen Kreel but rather went on their own to cause chaos.

### Cataclysm

In the final battle between The Xir'algath and the heroes, Ayet would appear in the midst of it, likely summoned there by The Collect. They battled against Magnus, Æyapel and Archangel Raphael before they were ultimately destroyed for good.

## Powers

### Angelic Powers

**Truesight:** Ayet can see through invisibility or lies.

**Skywalking:** Although Ayet is incapable of flight unlike most Angels, they can however step across the sky.

**Divine body:** Ayet is not a being of the Prime Universe, therefore they have no need to breathe, eat, drink, sleep or anything of that nature.

**Heavenly voice:** It matters not with whom Ayet speaks. They will always understand their words.

**Light of the sun:** Ayet is an angelic being of the stars, and is therefore illuminated. Not enough to hurt, but enough to glow like fire.

### Corrupted Powers

**Solar Assimilation:** Ayet can alter light waves emitted by stars, causing organic matter to fuse together into a red pulpy mess. This only works on a planet with “Day”, so it takes a long time for this to happen as it requires Ayet to take control over a planet's star. Covering oneself body that light does not touch it will provide protection.

**Plasma body:** Like a star, Ayet's body is made out of plasma, which in their second form would sporadically “flare” out in random directions. The surface of their body is incredibly hot, reaching 9932° F.

**Mind-Tampering Immunity:** Attempting to read Ayet's mind will lead to pain. Attempting to control Ayet's mind will result in the grilling of one's brain.

**360° Vision**

## Weapons

### *Sinpiercer*

Ayet carries a crossbow woven from faith. Like their own body, its strings are braided sunlight. It features a golden disc that rotates as bolts are loaded. Said bolts rip through targets by converting the sins of the accused into Angelic Flames.

After becoming corrupted, Ayet lost this weapon. Instead, they only relied on a twin pair of claws, with atom-thin blades.
