"Nope. No corny quotes about "the power of will" shall come from me. Only the sensation of my foot on your throat. Now, how's that "might makes right" philosophy working out for you?"

- Acheron

"You lot have made the biggest mistake when you underestimated the Law of Will. You see those people? Now they have the power you've strived so hard to keep out of their reach."

- Acheron to the Galactic oppressors.

"You murder, rape, and pillage in my name. As though invoking the name of a higher power somehow absolves you of any guilt. As though it washed the blood off of your hands. Sorry, but since you decided to drag my good name, among other things through the mud, I'm afraid I'll have to drag you to hell."

- Acheron to a hyper-religious antagonist cult.

Personality
Acheron values freedom above all else, to the point where it would not be an inaccurate description to state that the idea of liberty and independence has captured his heart completely. This obsession began to spring forth even in his early years when the reality of the limitations of his mind, body, and spirit began to rear their ugly heads.

Psychology
As one of the very rare entities who can actually live out his dreams to the fullest extent, reality be damned, Acheron doesn't possess a sliver of the scared, shy young boy he once as and has fully matured into a man whose brimming self-confidence and security comes off as a nigh-tangible aura around his form. There isn't a shred of fear in his voice when he speaks, only a calm and regal presence is worn around his form, and his towering superiority (both internally and externally) allows him to easily handle each and every obstacle that dares oppose him and flawlessly integrate himself into any social situation as the alpha.

One of the more estranged aspects of Acheron is the aspects of his Reality Dreaming. As a child, the only friends he truly had where the ones that leaped from the television screen into his mind. The Rowdy Ruff Boys, Duck Dodgers, Ed, Edd n' Eddy. These characters influence on the young child's lonely childhood have earned them a treasured place within his personal reality as independent existences that he can soar through the sky (and deep space) with on infinite adventures that never get old due to his individualised creation constantly remaking itself to suit his bottomless creativity.

Attitude
Acheron's mindset is a reflection of his childhood obsessions with supernatural power and freedom. As such, he is an incredibly free-spirited person to the point where he can freely be what others would perceive to be reckless without any consequence to himself or those around him.

Creation
Acheron was originally a human who was born from the escapades of his parents like any other child of the late 90's. A string of strange and malicious mishaps occurred during the pregnancy, however, as though a malevolent entity was trying to capture him before he even escaped the womb. A large void grew in his lungs as they nearly collapsed and he was placed within the emergency sector for days on end after he was forcibly extracted from his mother's womb via emergency surgery. The only possible conclusion being either death (80%) or severe mental retardation (20%).

When all hope seemed lost, the mother and her friends and family did the only thing they knew how: they prayed. And what to this day could be a miracle by anyone's standards, Acheron began to breathe independently of the machines and the hole in his lungs began to regenerate.Even now, Acheron's mother swears by that miracle that her faith in her god is well placed. And so was Acheron, until he came to realize the truth of prayer: it was energy.

The most powerful energy in all the universes. Drawn from the depths of the individual soul and the formless divinity that lived beyond the realm of logic and manifested itself through the miraculous restoration of the young child. A new reality layering itself over the old, as he was transformed down to the quantum and beyond, being spiritually drowned in the blazing light of creation. That feeling, of gods and goddesses and all that was, would never leave him. But would remain dormant with his very soul until the proper time of awakening.

Childhood
As Acheron grew older, the miraculous power held within him began to leak from the very core of his soul, expanding his mind and imagination to the point where he saw the world for what it could/should be, not for what it was, seeing it as the ultimate form of "settling for less". Because of this, he frequently looked for some form of outlet to better express his ideas, both to the world around him and for his own understanding of this mysterious desire. He found his answers in the form of the fictional heroes he saw on television.

Seeing Superman and Goku soaring through the sky freer than the birds themselves, with the awe-inspiring ability to shatter any obstacle that stood in the way of their goal, whatever that may have been. Power personified. But even at that young age, Acheron knew that power was only a means to an end and hardly ever was an end in and of itself. No one pursued power simply for the sake of having power. So, what would his chief end be? Protecting everyone? Nah. He loved his family, but he would rather give them the power to protect themselves than have his life revolve around rescuing them from outside threats every five minutes. This way he...could live...freely...

Power was the means to the chief end of freedom. His desire would revolve around gaining power, in whatever form, in order to enhance his freedom to the fullest extent of his will. However, this seed that was sown in his heart would be swept away once "the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches and the lusts of other things" (as his mother put it) entered in like a wave and made him crave power to conquer every individual who had harmed or offended him in any way. The majority of the offenders were emotional manipulators who saw his heart on his sleeve and began to attack seemingly for the thrill of it. Because of this, bitterness and anger grew in him and he began to see the world for what it was. A place filled with people that needed to be destroyed.

The Man who Could Work Miracles
He knew that he couldn't allow them the pleasure of knowing that their bullying had such an effect as to distract him from his goal, if not create an entirely different one for him to pursue. Their time would come, but it would not be by his hands as they were simply not worth it. In order to further the progression of his goal, and temper his emotions, Acheron began to meditate, and make several attempts towards lucid dreaming. Anything to traverse into his subconscious and hopefully find the answers he needed. Finally, after several weeks, he succeeded in having a lucid dream. He was in his own mind, immediately he summoned his subconscious manifestation before him. It was finally time to end his suffering.

He remembered the miracle that his mother constantly threw in his face everytime he questioned God and His motives. What was once extremely irritating was now a source of interest to the young man. He inquired of his inner self (who we will call "Logan" for the time being) of the nature of the first miracle. Logan explained that the miracle was literally the original, primal energy that would be the capacity for any at all to come about. That from which all energy, including physical energy, eventually results. Acheron didn't have time to express his elation, he implored Logan to take him to where that infinite light rested. Yet, Logan revealed, that light didn't dwell within a singular place but it was scattered throughout the depths of his very soul. It could only be brought out through one thing: prayer.

Prayer? He hadn't prayed in what felt like years. He barely knew how to pray to his mother's god; the only thing he ever seemed to pay attention to was self-abasement and groveling, which was something Acheron wasn't going to feed into anymore. Logan taught him how to draw out the Ohr by channeling his connection to it: that fateful night in the hospital. He opened his eyes and found himself back in that emergency room and beheld the dunamis power of creation entering the building and enveloping his infant self. It was in that moment, reliving that memory and being fully exposed to the light, that the connection between himself and the divine light had transcended its former boundaries, and that pure energy began to erupt from the very depths of his soul and unified with the all-encompassing force of it; the will.

Before, his will was weak and easy to be broken. Now that the light had merged with him, it's brilliant fire not only removed the conceptual limitations of his will, making it essentially limitless in the process, but it had also transcended the will's fundamental nature to where it was no longer a mere faculty of the soul but a force that could overturn the course of nature if need be. The final modification was the manifestation of his deepest desire and the cornerstone of all his efforts. The opportunity to attain what he had always desired and pursued at all costs: freedom from God’s will. What was this opportunity? The ability to transcend all limitations, including the limits of his freedom. After this was done, he assimilated all the shattered fragments of himself into one singular entity: total self-acceptance.

It was finally done, except for one..."precaution". It was time to dissolve the boundary between his inner fantasy and his personal reality. Just in case the changes made to his now boundless inner world would not transfer into the external reality, he removed the boundary between the in and the out, making sure that who he was here would be who he was there. Once he awoke from what felt like a slumber, everything changed. His complete unification with the primordial light had his existential nature fundamentally changed, he was no longer Logan Drake. He was now Acheron.
