History[]

Only child born to a rather poor family
His mother having had quite a lot of illness during her pregnancy was bedridden
And thus Hero was born at home and not a hospital
It was mostly his father who was the one that tried to raise him
Would often just be taken away and out of the house by his father, just to be out in the open air and away from his ill mother
At 4 the illness finally claims his mother's life
Father grew depressed and didn't spend quite the ammount of time with Hero anymore
Hero starts going to school where he doesn't click perfectly with the other childeren
Out of all the subjects, he is worsed at gym
During rough playing one day during break he completely collabsed complaining about chest pains
Was taken to the hospital where it was diagnosed he was born with a heart defect
Father decides /not/ to have his son operated on due to being unable to pay for the surgery
Hero is taken home despite his weakend state
Instead his father goes to some back alley doctors whom he can pay to get to help his son
Safe to say they only helped with the issue temporaraly
Is bedridden quite often from that point on, stuck in bed whenever chest pains would occur as well as fatique
Father nolonger even able to support his son and keep up taking care of him
His father tries to suffocate him one night with a pillow
Able to struggle away from it despite the intense pains
In his own flight instinct he flees onto the streets
Collabses as his body starts shutting down, no longer able to be sustained by his failing heart
Is saved by a young demon he practically forces him into a pact with her
Thus forms a bloodpact with Ducil
Refuses to turn home due to fear and instead choses to remain on the streets
Talks alot with Ducil and they exchange info about their own kinds in a sense, dicussing it all
Intrest is sparked into morality of good and evil, mostly considering how little good he has had in his life
Becomes attached to this want for revenge for his life and all the bad he had been forced to go through
Ducil tries to distract his attention away from it
Starts seeing mobians as the wrong in the world and demons as the right
Sparks the idea to make a safe heaven for demons, a church for the evil they bring
Obsesses over Pandora thanks to it
One night hears yelling for help and rushes over with Ducil
Saves Adamas and befriends him, clicking in their intrest and views
Decides to start out the church with his help
It does pick off and people start joining
Adamas tells about his visions and says one vision is telling him they need to save some one
And thus they set off and in the course safe Penny whom joins their side
As the church grows in size they start clashing with the opposite church, the church of Elpis
Meets Veavus the leader of that church whom he has a strong fued with due to being ones opposites
MAIA starts rearing it's head
Gods start dicking around and do largely chance both his own and Veavus' view
Grows honest feelings towards him, they part ways on promise of a dave
Returns only to have his church attacked and practically murdered out by Dave and Faith
Tells his following that remains to run and go into hiding
Is taken by Dave and Goodwill not too much later and in a sense tortured to spill where they are hiding
Is blinded during this due to having his eyes burned out by holy water
Is saved by Veavus who ends up greatly injured and losing his following
Feels terribly guilty about this, feeling it's his fault
Ends up getting excussed from the hospital, makes Veavus promise he'd come and visit once settle and healed
Heads back to what is left of his following, sends out Ducil to help heal Veavus and tell him where they are hiding
Following grows uneasy and fearfull considering all that MAIA is doing
Their unease rubbing off on Hero who starts losing it, not hearing from Veavus either
Their unsease and fear rubbing off on him and falls into dispair
Ends up making a harsh decision with a few followers, they would go in and destroy MAIA from the inside out, no matter the cost
They do this and managed to take out a chunk of MAIA but with many loses
Badly injured and gets chewed out by multiple people for doing what he did
Falls into depression
Give sup his church to Adamas
In his own anger and sadness breaks his pact with Ducil and runs off
Considering the pact was the only thing keeping him alive, he litterally start dying bit by bit as his heart fails him once more
Runs into Veavus who almost litterally shakes him back to his senses
Though it was more guilt trip that he remade his pact with Ducil
Gets filled with guilt more and more as Veavus keeps lecturing, calling him things such as selfish
Ducil had aparantly comfronted Veavus about this and the two talk
Turns out he can't remember their promise and all that
Practically feels his heart break at it but keeps silent about it
Tries to help him out though, more for approval of Veavus than himself
Starts hearing voices, keeps quiet about it
Starts cutting himself when in private, not out of a suicidale tendency, but to use his own blood to shape ritualistic symbols
Unable to see what he is doing, purely going on instinct with them and listening to the voices
Just falling deeper and deeper into depression, starts feeling disconnected from the world
The cutting and symbol making picking up, creating entire alchemic circles and seals with his own blood, though is smart to do this in his own room where non will see
Might've activated a few of those circles and ritualistic marks
Tries to keep up an okay appearance towards Veavus and Ducil, very much slipped off into darkness himself
Been discovering certain things and kind of disturbed by them
Worried about his own well being and sanity
Yet refuses to reach out at all
Instead has been learning things, not nice things but things non the less!
Gets into contact with Virus
