Aylin Alya Gratia

**Aylin Alya Gratia** is a young girl and the daughter of the Skeria Imperator.

## Story

### Wavering Humanity

Born from the rape of a high-ranked Gratia official by the Imperator, Aylin was rescued by Methys Alya Gratia and raised by her, Kagu, and Griffin Deneve Fidelitas. Growing extremely quickly, she also quickly understood that she wasn't fully human and upon discovering her true lineage, was struck with terror; nevertheless, she chose to keep fighting for the Enochian values she was raised with.

When Griffin disappeared, Aylin vowed revenge on the one who betrayed him, Cleon Australis Oratio. Chasing him to the ends of the universe, Aylin uncovered his ties to the Nephilim and, with the help of the mysterious individual she nicknamed Sketch, managed to expose Cleon's treachery before leaving, returning home to her adoptive mothers.

### To Embrace the Hive

Still, it was not enough for Aylin, who disappeared once more, searching for Griffin. Contraband master Xobba was said to hold answers to his position, but when Aylin interrogated him, she could not obtain any concluding answers. She was however then approached by Duna Hamal Sapientia, who invited her to her personal home planet.

Duna, in truth the Nephilim Gula and the creator of all Skeria-based lifeforms, presented herself as Aylin's true mother, and offered to awaken Aylin's true potential. Knowing the Skeria Imperator's reign soon to be over due to Aylin's strong and growing presence, Duna managed to persuade Aylin into awaking more of her powers, allowing her to embrace her Skeria nature and manipulate and create life.

## Appearance

Aylin is a silver-haired, amber-eyed young woman of almost supernatural beauty who dresses in a magnificent robe designed by her mother - in shades of purple and dark gold, representing both Methys and Griffin.

## Personality

Extremely intelligent, flexible, and infinitely adaptable, Aylin mixes kindness with pragmatism, although she is somewhat prone to mood swings. At first horrified by her bloodline, she came in terms with it, denying its influence over her and choosing to see Methys and Griffin as her true parents, and harboring great affection for Kagu. When provoked and hostile, she can be domineering and merciless as well.

Aylin's refusal to succumb to her bloodline, however, seems to have slowly waned as she strived to "evolve", in order to gain the needed strength to change the world by her own terms and save her parents; with Gula's advice and influence, Aylin came to see herself as a queen, able to create life and meant to conquer the universe, embracing her Skeria heritage.

## Powers

* **Enhanced Physical Abilities:** Aylin is, like most Nobles, a talented swordsman with superior speed, endurance and strength. This is further enhanced by the blood in her veins.
* **Animus Use:** Aylin is able to use certain Manifestation-based abilities, conjure illusions, and use the dark blood within her to perform the dark miracles of the Nephilim. Her abilities have been bolstered with Gula's help.
* **Skeria Queen:** Aylin can use her powers as a Queen to forcibly control lesser Skerias. She is also able to give birth to Skerias, although she still needs a host in order for the eggs to hatch due to the parasitic nature of the Skeria.

## Trivia

* Aylin's story bears some similtarities to Kira's from Emerald Knights book saga.
