For five thousand years, a brutal war has been raging on this planet. The Gods above were using the humans the Creator God Ekrados had made to prove who was truly the best deity. By empowering certain humans with their powers, they had them fight. Whichever human was the last man standing would prove what God was the best. However, the Gods didn't expect the stubbornness of humanity, and eventually everything went into a stalemate. Throughout the centuries, nations fell and rose, leaders born and died, continents connected and split apart.
However, there will be one person who will change the fate of the world forever. For better or for worse, this Godly war is nearing its climax. This person will be forever known throughout history, and this is their story.
What path does this human follow?
A.) Maximilian "Max" Harrel. Born and raised in a small town, his father owned it and was the Lord of it. Maximilian was treated like a prince by the ones who lived there and he could get anything he wanted. Even with these advantages, Max was a kind soul, never abusing his position and was a true gentleman. However, the war that spanned the globe eventually came to his town, enemy forces slaughtering it. Max survived, heartbroken over the death of his family and town.
However, a voice spoke to him. The Creator God Ekrados, having seen the destruction more times than he could count, decided that Max's kind, pure soul would be the perfect avatar to finally end all the wars. Max, having realized he had become the Champion of Creation, knew that he could change the world for the better. After years of training, he is finally ready to journey across the world.
B.) Lucretia Vitorica. A no-nonsense and stern woman with great magical expertise, she is a mystery to those who meet her. From a young age, Lucretia was interested in the occult and the unknowns of the world, even abandoning her comfy life in the city, where she was well taken care of by her family. During her travels, Lucretia was extremely determined in her goals, even resorting to force if something got in her way. One day, she found an ancient tome, describing various seals that have been placed on the planet.
While the tome warned of possible danger in breaking these seals, she continued onward, her curiosity and studies will not be stopped. The God of Destruction, knowing what will happen if the seals break, gladly chose Lucretia as the Champion of Destruction, magnifying her magical abilities greatly. With powerful magic and an even more powerful curiosity, Lucretia will never stop in her mission to break the seals.
C.) Noah Stocke. Born a commoner, he quickly joined the army of his nation, Ashtan, from a young age to provide for his family. His natural talent for swordplay and his intellect made him rise quickly in the army, eventually becoming a general with his own handpicked platoon. Disaster struck when he and his platoon were ambushed by another general in the Ashtanian army due to jealousy. Quickly defeated, most of his platoon was slaughtered and he was captured, quickly being sold off to slavers.
From a commoner, to a general, now a slave, Noah never broke down once, his iron will only having the smallest chinks. Due to this, he became the Champion of Willpower, and now he sits in a holding cell, waiting and planning for his escape.
D.) Asdis Sigeferthdottir. A rough woman born into the barbaric clan of vikings that conquered the seas. Life was difficult, as being a woman made her weak and pathetic in the eyes of the men, but Asdis proved her worth by hunting the most dangerous creatures of the sea, traveling to unknown waters, and even defeating some of the strongest warriors produced by the vikings. But for all of Asdis's strength, she was wrathful and her anger blinded her. During such a rage, she managed to break her ship and fall into the murky depths of the ocean.
She awoke at an unknown beach, far away from her peers. This enraged her even more, her volcanic fury grabbing attention of the God of Wrath. With a few choice words to her, Asdis now Champion of Wrath, now was directing her anger at other Champions, as they tore her from her much loved life. At least, that's what she believes.
E.) Palomides the Executioner. A powerful, intimidating monster of a man, Palomides was known for his monstrous endurance and durability as a kid, being able to defeat adults much better at fighting through sheer stamina. His prowess caught the attention of the King of Aucteraden and Palomides was brought into the army. Years of training and war had molded Palomides into the Executioner of Aucteraden, his mighty lance known as the Peacemaker and his blood stained armor becoming a symbol of terror, even to his allies. Due to this, he was made the Champion of Fear and his aura could make the strongest men break and cower.
As of late, Palomides has grown bored with playing a pawn to some scared king hiding on his throne, his lust for battle compelled him to scour the lands for other Champions to fight! But perhaps his first opponent on his quest...will be the entirety of Aucteraden.
F.) Nyoka. A girl from the desert lands of Safina, she was a big fish in a small pond in her village. She was an expert at hunting, cooking, fighting, and much more. However, she hated her homeland, the scorching days and icy nights, the lack of reliable water made it difficult to live comfortably. She tried to convince her village to move to greener pastures, but they refused, as they made a life in the desert, and they would die in the desert. Angered and fueled by extreme wanderlust, Nyoka left her village and escaped the massive desert, eventually finding something she never saw before, a forest.
She instantly took to the environment, despite a few mishaps here and there. Her love of the forest and nature was so great, she was deemed Champion of Nature, granting her the power of the forests! She was content to live her life there, but the war will consume all, and it was quickly coming in Nyoka's direction...
G.) Gyasi Moghadam. An old man with a sharp mind, after years of work, he eventually toppled the Kingdom of Dimale and usurped control from the tyrannical king. However, he was not content in merely gaining a kingdom, Gyasi's goals were much, much greater than that, he wanted to bring the entire world under his heel. But he knew that this could not happen in his lifetime and his body was beginning to die off from age. With little other options, he decided to enhance and replace his aging body with Dimale's famous technology, becoming half man, half machine.
The only human parts of him now are his heart and brain, kept within his mechanical body. While his body doesn't quite have the fluidity of a normal human body, it is much, much tougher and stronger. The God of Technology was heavily amused by a human turning into a machine, and turned Gyasi into the Champion of Technology. With his new body, Gyasi plans to grab the world by the throat and never let go.
H.) Kassia Golgla. A young woman with a heart of gold, she was born and raised into a poor, yet loving family. During this time, she was known in her small town as an angel, for protecting the weak while never asking anything in return. However, she misspoke to a powerful, vile man. When night fell, the man entered the town and used his powers, gifted to him by a god, to annihilate the town in a single move. Kassia should have died that day, but the Goddess of Barriers, who was fond of Kassia, made Kassia into her champion and unconsciously activated her powers, creating a barrier around herself that withstood the devastating attack.
After recovering from the shock of her lost town, Kassia now only has a single goal in mind, to find the man who destroyed her town and bring him to justice.
