Dethener can often be seen as a stoic figure; he doesn't speak when it's not needed because he knows there's no need. He also doesn't feel like talking with anyone most of the time further than what's necessary. Every time the Rune Knights must unite, the Captain wastes only the necessary time before he returns to his quarters.

The man he displays himself as to others is one who carries a duty and brings justice. Often times, many believe he is in reality a machine fueled by Lacrima created by the Council to do their job. That is due to the lack of empathy Dethener truly seems to lack in his actions.

Regardless. He's full of emotions and feelings. Fear, anger, hatred... all of them are a very part of him, that he keeps hidden so they could do him credit one day and fuel his vindictive plans.


People could change.

Once upon a time a young Demon called Lance roamed Earthland. The era of the Gods was at its peak but Lance didn't fear anyone but himself. Not even the leader of the Demons could he have ever seen with the slightest regard. He was hot-headed and the prime example of freedom; an extraordinary example of a child. Yet, one day, dared Lance trepass the limits set by the people of the underground not to fall in the hands of the Gods.

Lance was lost. He couldn't find his way home and most importantly; he was now under the watchful eye of the Gods. They were outraged and immediately called for elimination. They didn't tolerate anyone else with magic in this realm and yet one of them was instead merciful. Called Firebrand, she once was. She was also known as a Sage of the Fire from the Humans that praised her figure. She wished to let the child live for she knew nothing better than the warmth of her flames in her heart. The other Gods dismissed her and decided to act without her consent. They decided the time and hour of the child's death by the hands of an emissary.

Therefore, the Flame God decided to ignore such judgment and improvised a rescue.

For the remaining years, both the Goddess and Lance formed a special relationship close to one of mother and son. Yet, Lance practically fell in love with the divine being. His bonds with the Demons remained feeble in that period and yet he never disguised himself as anything else other than a Demon. But he couldn't help his feelings of love towards the Goddess to the point where he decided not to return and stay with her, in a corner of the world to study, learn and live together with his 'new mother'.

Lance Firebrand, he had become.

He achieved the art of God Slaying and lived the rest of his teenage years together with Firebrand, but she knew she couldn't let him be himself any longer and therefore tasked him with the quest of killing her with the magic he learned. She had achieved her 'finale', in her opinion and simply wished to rest as now the other Gods had already considered her gone rogue. Firebrand no longer had a home.

Lance refused. Unwilling to kill the one he loved so much. She returned said feelings and allowed him to simply leave and live the world for himself.

By then, so many years passed that the war was nearly at an end; clans were already established as an integral part of society by then and Lance couldn't find himself a better fit in the Clan of Fener. A tribal, warrior-like clan where they studied the art of the blade to counter the Gods' remaining numbers. The man climbed up the ranks until he became the very leader of said clan. He outgrew the purpose and formed a bond with his clan. He loved them. He grew a family out of it. His blood, his children and his future.

All was well.

Until the arrival of the Magic Council. They wished to get rid of clans but the Clan of Fener refused, time and time again. Yet, this couldn't go unanswered by the Council as one night, the entire clan was met with a legion of Rune Knights ready to exterminate the entire clan. Many suffered, died and Lance fought to the bitter end. He was mistaken as dead, to the hands of an unnamed Devil Slayer.

Yet, Lance was rescued. By one of the survivors from the attack. He woke up, only to find himself on a boat. In pain, in sorrow, and ultimately he fell once more asleep until his next sight was one to be frightened about; other Demons surrounded him slowly, as they 'worked on him' as if he was a building, a structure. They implanted him with steel and other odd materials he couldn't recognize and a handful of Lacrima technology.

Soon, the Demon was allowed to stand. He nearly scared himself at the sight of what he had become. He had mistaken himself for a grim reaper. Truly tremendous. Even for a Demon. The others reassured him this was the only way he could keep living without a sudden organic failure. Lance walked out and recognized the spot immediately. This was the hidden island where he once lived with Firebrand. His heart softened and yet, confused as to why the Goddess wasn't there. He couldn't feel her.

'Where is the God? I know there's supposed to be one here.'

To no one he had ever revealed his origins. His closest, one of the Fener Clan approached him and said he heard from the native Demons that inhabitated the island now that they had eliminated a Goddess right here. On this island, that she was no more. His heart, full of emotions began to rot in seconds; love turned into pure anger, his voice cracked and wasps of flame burned the island that night. Blood; it was everywhere. That night his blade passed through more throats of kinsmen than Gods or Humans he had ever killed in his life.

His blade displayed a crimson color. It was tainted by the demonic blood and cursed by their magic to possess their darkness and sorrow.

For many days he hated himself and any other living being. He was at a loss, but yet, his resolve had never been greater; they all had to pay. The Council, to begin with, yet he knew he couldn't so easily touch them. However, his slaughter he officially reported. He stated that he was a Human trapped by the Demons and tortured, hence why of his armor and that with the retrieval of his blade he achieved the chance to have revenge. Although controversial, he was faced with no charges but rather, he was allowed to continue his work against the Demons and other threats to guilds and mankind in the Rune Knights.

He did so under the name of Dethener.

The first step. Years later as a Captain, now, he could only keep walking forward. He wished to see the light at the end of the tunnel and the destruction of the Magic Council.



ITEM NAME: Tainted Sword of the Demons.
RANK: N/A.
DESCRIPTION: His former blade that he used ever since the days of Fener Clan. It looks like a standard Katana except for the fact that it glows with a radiant crimson. Many say it's due to a curse of the Demons the Rune Knight managed to slay with said blade
SPELLS: N/A.




NAME: Fire God Slayer.
TYPE: Lost Magic.
RANK: B-Class.
DESCRIPTION: A God of Fire is violent, ruthless and in many cases self-destructive. It's a powerful type of magic not only due to its rarity but the element it bears is primitive and destructive. The magic itself has reached the peak where destruction is at hand; grounds, tree and buildings crumble before him. It's the epitome of destruction and it cannot be extinguished until everything in its path is gone. Similar to the ancient legends of 'Amaterasu', such fire does not burn but rather obliterates the target.
DRAWBACKS: While Fire God Slayer is most certainly a powerful magic, it is self-destructive in many ways. Dethener has in many ways experienced this already; this magic, using it, slowly brings you closer to darkness. Your mentality strays away from humanity or any kind of civil manner. You lose rationality or rather are disconnected from empathy itself. You develop a God complex. Lance's body is so deep in such stage already that his body won't heal any longer from his wounds due to the eternal flames of a God that are now a part of him.
SPECIALIZATION: No Defensive/Support Spells.
SPELLS:

NAME: Fire God's Darkness.
TYPE: Offensive.
RANK: B-Class. (Destructive Potential: A-Class)
MODS: Affliction (Suffocation), Immobilize, Magic AMP.
DESCRIPTION: Whispers of fire materialize around the user's victim, they wrap aroudn their neck and lift them up in mid-air whilst the dark flames choke the target. The flames are powerful enough NOT to cause third-degree burns, for a God's fire doesn't burn but rather it lacerates deeply into the skin and flesh. They're immobilized and actively choked for one turn, before they drop to the ground a turn later, but still affected by the lack of air for three whole turns. Their ability to channel magic through items is also disabled for three turns.


NAME: Fire God's Tempest.
TYPE: Offensive.
RANK: B-Class. (Destructive Potential: A-Class)
MODS: AoE (Ranged), Knockback.
DESCRIPTION: From his hands, the user conjures several wasps of fire that unleash similarly to lightning discharges towards the target. He can do so from far-away, the flames strike and dissipate at the same time for a quick impact to toss the opponent away from the cataclysm of the user's fire abilities and smack them through the nearest wall, building or just allow the flames to lacerate through their skin.


NAME: Fire God's Storm.
TYPE: Offensive.
RANK: B-Class. (Destructive Potential: B-Class for four turns; equivalent of two A-Class spell damage if it runs full course)
MODS: AoE (Ranged), Damage over Time.
DESCRIPTION: The user summons a cloud above their target that can conjure several strikes of Fire God's Tempest, but unlike the other it is quite unfocused and ruthless in mauling its target as all of them are knocked back and are afflicted to visions of Dethener as an imposing God, causing them to be afflicted by physical and psychological pain. Their lacerations reach as deep as the bone and any injury may turn lethal.


NAME: Fire God's Sorrow
TYPE: Offensive.
RANK: B-Class. (Destructive Potential: A-Class)
MODS: AoE (Ranged), Affliction (Blindness).
DESCRIPTION: The user can cast a flame that passes through their target. It doesn't seem to perform any kind of physical pain at first, but the targets are blinded. They remain blind, but soon enter a dream world; one where they can see all they care for crumble in the most gruesome ways they can ever imagine. Sorrow, pain, hatred; all of it overwhelms them as they suffer mental pain, that soon translates into physical pain. It doesn't leave actual wounds, but afflicts the same kind of damage a normal wound would. The targets remain blinded for three turns, while they are unable to move and suffer the full psychological trauma in one turn.
