History: Izual was born on the world known as Geddon but his childhood is really unimportant. His true story begins when he turns 13 and is initiated into The Hierarchy. The Hierarchy is a secretive organization that serves its church in a similar fashion that the Knight's Templar served their church. For the first few years of being a greenhorn, he was taught from ancient manuscripts and writings of the Gods themselves. He delved in religious practices everyday and dedicated his life to his church. He learned of the abominations that plague existence and how they all should be slain and conquered. When he turned 16, another teaching was brought upon him: combat. The church taught him how to fight against things such as demons and abominations and overall how to combat others. His studies and training continued for more years and he became a full fledged member of The Hierarchy when he turned 18. Upon his 18th birthday, he was to confront the Gods so that they may examine him. If they deemed him pure and holy, they would bless him with a special talent. He, of course, was found pure and holy; thus the Gods gave him the ability of Aether, which full members of The Hierarchy were given if they passed the Gods' analysis.
Since then, he has ruthlessly slain and defeated the evils of the world. One day, a strange new 'thing' appeared from the shadows. The church was immediately alerted and everyone from citizens to kings was ordered to try to fend off the swarming and growing intruders. The fought on and on with no progress. After years of failure, the strange black creatures took over and destroyed the world while killing much of the population. Izual was flung to a strange new world. He had not realized there were so many untouched by unholy powers until he came to this new world, which he later found out to be called Hallow Bastion.
He started asking questions and gaining information about what had happened to him. All the answers seemed to point to the same thing, The Darkness. Heartless had taken his world from him, but he didn't fret. There was plenty of ways to prosper in this new existence he had. He would continue on serving his Gods and trying to purify this world.

Appearance:
Full Body
Physical Features: Sun kissed skin covers his thin frame. The lack of fat causes a profound appearance in his muscles. His body type prevents his muscles from growing larger which often leaves him looking pretty scrawny but he can hold his own even against the largest opponents. His skin lays unscathed and flawless as if he had never gotten cut, scratched, burned or damaged in any way. Hadrian stands about six foot tall, only weighing about 170 pounds
Facial Features: His downy, pure white hair is what usually draws attention to him as it contrasts greatly with his tanned skin. The straight white locks protrude outward while some hang down over his right eye, concealing it almost completely. His narrow charcoal gray eyes seem to be the windows to his cunning, witty, and intellectual behavior. He almost always has a smirk on his face as if he knows everything there is to know.
Clothing: Hade’s clothes are extremely misleading. The majority of his clothing are white, which often throw off initial conceptions about him. A thin, sleeveless alabaster shirt conceals his torso; the bottom of the shirt splits into four sections and ends in points. Three leather straps hold the shirt together at the chest. On the bottom, left edge of the shirt hangs a leather braid with a single white feather attached to the end. He is usually seen wearing an ivory jacket; black stripes trail down the center where the jacket comes together and two bold stripes around each sleeve cuff. A long black cloth hangs out on the left side from under his white shirt. On the cloth are numerous white, stitch designs. Within the designs is the face of an oriental style demon. His baggy gray pants manage not to hinder his movements at all.
Miscellaneous Items/Articles: Numerous necklaces dangle from around his neck, each one from someone he’s defeated and killed in the past. He has also acquired numerous bracelets, bands, and rings that way as well.
Personality:
Resolve: Izual had been raised with the impression that anyone or anything that is not a pure human is an Abomination. But simply being a human doesn’t exempt one from being pure. There are many types of corrupted humans; those who have touched the hand of evil and danced with the tainted and those that delve into unholy acts like witchcraft and magic, but by no means is this the limit to human corruption. Izual was taught by his religious superiors that these ‘creatures’ are just that; an inferior race to his own and he damn well believes it. And he wants nothing more than to rid the universe of as many of these Abominations as possible.
Fears: His biggest fear is being forsaken by the very gods he worships so deeply. After devoting his entire life to their ways, it would be the bitter end of him if he was, not only eternally damned by them, but also rejected. He wants nothing more than to please them any way he possibly can, which is why he took up occupation as one of five Hierarchs.
Hopes: Izual wants nothing more than to continue his work as a Hierarch, even though his world has been destroyed and the four others have vanished. He feels the Vaalen teachings must be in every circumstance, even when times seem at their lowest.
Finding the other Hierarchs is also something he wishes to accomplish. They must be out there somewhere.
Hobbies: Reading is one of Iz’s favorite activities. He always keeps a copy of the Omega Scripture in his large back pocket incase boredom ever strikes. Most of his free time is dedicated to reading the Vaalen teachings. He’s been reading the teachings for over ten years and still hasn’t completed it all. The Vaalen priests once said that it could take well over thirty years to complete. Music, specifically guitar, is something he recently picked up on.
Public Personality/Private Personality: Ever since he joined the ranks of the Hierarch, he has slowly changed. Straight forward, Izual is a sociopath. Unconcerned with the safety or well-being of others, he’ll act impulsively and callously. He’ll play mind games with his victims on occasion for the mere pleasure of mentally or even physically harming someone. Iz has the exceptional ability to lie without being detected. Even lie detectors fail at catching Iz in an obvious lie. He has been known to trick even unorthodox methods of lie detection.
The mind is something that Izual is all too familiar with. He knows how it works, processes, and functions and he can gather mounds of information within the first few moments of conversing with someone. Each person is born with a certain mindset, whether it be shy and introverted or malicious and dominant. And each and every mindset has its strengths and weaknesses that connect to the person’s psyche. That is what Izual uses to his advantage to gain the trust of others. Most of the time, he merely uses this once per person because he only needs to gain a certain amount of information to carry out his work if needed.
Izual is crafty and manipulative man. Charm and Charisma are his strong points. More often than not, his true intentions hidden from others for the sake of accomplishing what he must. He’ll go out of his way to purify the world of the abominations that plague it. He thinks pretty highly of himself but knows his place when compared to the Gods. Never would he step out of line to or against the very Gods he has dedicated his life to following. What he has been taught has implanted itself in his morale code that Abominations deserves absolutely not pity or pleasure in life and Innocents need to be protected and cherished like they were the Gods themselves.

Weapons:
Weapon Name: Retribution
Weapon Description: Simple, but elegant. Malicious, but delicate. The straight sword bears a ivory hilt wrapped in silvery-gray cloth. A polished, chrome pommel harbors two leather straps that dangle from it. On the end of the strap are feathers, but not any particular feather. Each feather starts with a vibrant blue hue at the bottom. Shades of bright red make their way up to the top. At the very top all the way to the tip is a bright yellow. The feathers happen to be that from the legendary phoenix.
Unique Notes: None
Abilities:
Base Ability: Aether
Sub Abilities:
Aether [Alpha]- Aether is a unique ability granted to Izual by the Gods. Effectively, it works as Anti-Magic. Aether Alpha has the power to do immense damage when it comes in contact with anyone who possesses *magical abilities of any kind. Aether Alpha can only be used for offensive attacks and it does more damage to magic-users than a normal attack is capable of. The downfall to this is that it has absolutely no effect on someone that doesn't use any sort of magic. Another problem is that Izual cannot use any magic ability at all and magical attacks harm him more than they would to a normal person. Magical healing would also inflict damage instead of aiding. The physical manifestation of Aether has a white and light blue airy appearance, as if it were smoke. It can be twisted and manipulated into a wide array of sizes and shapes and can maintain a specific shape. And it also has the physical density of lead despite its wispy appearance. Izual can use this a total of five times before it starts physically harming him to use it.
DeathSeal- DeathSeal is an ability similar to the Aether abilities in some aspects, but it only lasts for five posts at a time. When DeathSeal is initiated, a large, foggy-like cloud will expand from where Izual was standing and spread out in all directions. It will span into a dome shape up to 50 feet in diameter. Anyone caught within the dome will be unable to use *any **magic either until they leave the dome or the dome vanishes. Magic that that cast into the dome will be nullified. The dome is stationary from the point of where it’s created.
*Disables all magic, whether it be conscious, passive, enchanted items, etc.
**Magic here is defined loosely as a supernatural phenomena, unless specifically stated otherwise.
