 Backstory

Ethan's past is shrouded in mystery and amnesia, a fragmented tapestry of lost memories and dark origins. Born to unnamed seraphim angels in the celestial realm of Heaven, his infancy was stolen from him when he was abducted by the forces of Hell at a tender age, under two years old.

In Hell, the demon king Lucifer recognized Ethan's potential, declaring him his son and a prince of the infernal domain. With ambitions of molding him into the most powerful demon and a true god of Hell, Lucifer subjected him to relentless experiments. These experiments rendered Ethan's dormant angelic side inert, extracting it and imbuing its essence into a sentient, ancient sword known as Ignition.

Ethan's childhood in Hell was marked by solitude and brutal training. Isolated to prevent his return to Heaven, he was forced to endure rigorous magical and combat training, leaving deep-seated traumas that his subsequent amnesia would temporarily shield from his conscious mind.

Years later, Ethan awakened on the Mainland, his past forgotten, his purpose unknown. Roaming the world as a lost soul, he despised his demonic nature, cursed his infernal existence, and yearned for power above all else. Witnessing demons preying on the weak and helpless only intensified his desire to become immensely powerful and purge the lands of these malevolent creatures.

His solitary pursuit of strength led him to cross paths with The Syndicate, a guild renowned for accepting a wide range of missions. Recognizing his potential during a critical encounter, Bern, a highly skilled member of the syndicate, took Ethan under his wing. Bern became a mentor and a surrogate father figure to the young demon, nurturing his abilities and providing him with guidance and protection.

During his time with The Syndicate, Ethan encountered a dying puppy abandoned on the roadside. Despite his efforts, the puppy succumbed to its injuries. Overwhelmed with grief, Ethan shed a tear that unknowingly infused the pup with his demonic energy, resurrecting it as a demon named Lucius. This fortuitous event solidified their unbreakable bond, and Lucius became Ethan's loyal companion, his trusted pet, and an invaluable asset in their missions.

As Ethan honed his skills and matured, he embarked on missions alongside Tobi, an anthropomorphic deer skilled in shadow manipulation and infiltration, and Alpha, a sentient robot wolf driven by an enigmatic consciousness. Together, they formed an efficient and formidable trio within The Syndicate, undertaking dangerous assignments and combating supernatural threats.

Amidst the chaos of their adventures, Ethan and Tobi briefly explored a romantic connection, but their youthful fling soon transformed into a deep and steadfast friendship. Their bond remained unbreakable as they navigated the trials and tribulations that awaited them.

During one of their missions, they stumbled upon a litter of dying fox cubs, their lives hanging by a thread. Ethan, driven by his unwavering determination to protect life, transformed one of the cubs into a demon to save her. This act gave birth to Tifa, an anthropomorphic fox demon who became Ethan's cherished adopted daughter.

As time passed, Ethan forged new friendships, found love with Sai, and reunited with family members like his cousin Song, who helped him unlock fragments of his painful memories. In a momentous event, Ethan experienced a profound transformation, reclaiming his angelic nature and discovering his true angelic name, "Ethanael or Ethaniel." Yet, he chose to continue going by the name Ethan, a reflection of his desire to remain connected to his earthly existence.

Present Day

With each chapter of his life unfolding, Ethan's journey remains a tumultuous blend of self-discovery, relentless pursuit of power, and an unwavering commitment to protect those he holds dear. His path, shaped by forgotten traumas and newfound revelations, propels him forward as he grapples with his dual nature and the unquenchable thirst for strength that threatens to consume him.
