Appearance:
Universe/Reality:
- [Regression]
Among interdimensional travelers, this universe is infamous as one of the most nightmarish destinations imaginable, whether stumbled upon by accident or entered with intent. Widely regarded as uninhabitable, it is not the living conditions—or even the presence of dangerous creatures—that earn it this grim reputation. Instead, it is the inhabitants themselves that make this world so perilous and utterly undesirable.
The residents of this universe have been consistently documented as irredeemable, apathetic murderers, devoid of empathy or morality. Their barbarity knows no bounds, exemplified by an annual festival dedicated to a grotesque mass-culling game, where the weak, the elderly, and the sick are rounded up for slaughter as a form of twisted entertainment as the form of a holiday.
Yet among these violent, unhinged people, one individual stands out as the embodiment of this world's darkness: Aelin Claire Amaia, a figure of Epoch Fiery who can be summed up in two words: unapologetically evil. Aelin epitomizes everything that makes this world infamous—an unrepentant monster thriving in chaos, destruction, and the suffering of others who serves as their absolute monarch.
Age: 27
Personali†y: The living embodiment of pure, irredeemable evil—a tyrant who rules not to lead or inspire but to destroy and revel in the carnage. His ascension to power was not driven by ideals, twisted beliefs, or even the pretense of a grand vision. Instead, Aelin overthrew the previous king and claimed the throne for the simplest, most malevolent reason: he enjoys watching the world, and everyone in it, burn.
Unlike other despots, Aelin has no delusions of individual freedom or societal progression. He dismantled what little order existed in his already anarchic society purely to make his world an even greater hellscape of chaos and suffering, a personal playground where he could indulge his every sadistic whim. He cares nothing for his subjects, seeing them as little more than tools, toys, or obstacles to appease his abhorrent taste of entertainment.
Aelin’s immorality is not one of misguided purpose, distorted justice, or noble goals done through nefarious means—it is fueled entirely from his twisted amusement. Every act of senseless cruelty, every dark spark of chaos, is a source of boundless entertainment for him. To Aelin, the countless suffering of others is not a necessary evil but an intoxicating joy, a sinister spectacle to be savored endlessly, like an unrelenting symphony of fine arts and masterful music. He is never satisfied by the screams of those he torments; he always craves more.
He is not a ruler in any traditional sense. He does not govern, guide, or protect; he annihilates, dismantles, and destroys with a sickening, fiendish enjoyment. His only goal is to set the world ablaze and laugh as it collapses into ash—a monstrous force of destruction driven solely by the twisted pleasure he derives from watching everything fall apart, piece by piece, with no intent to ever rebuild.
Gender: Male
Power/Abili†y:
- [Furnace]
Furnace, the pinnacle manifestation of heat manipulation within the world of Regression, an all-encompassing power that grants Aelin control over thermal energy in every form it can take. From the searing heat of flames to the more subtle warmth created by friction, even the kinetic energy driving molecular motion itself falls under his dominion. So long as something carries even the slightest trace of heat—anything above absolute zero—Aelin can manipulate it. With Furnace, he can ignite objects into infernos, freeze them by siphoning away their heat, or wield the very kinetic energy that permeates the universe.
However, hidden beneath Furnace exist its innate ability. The direct cremation of the soul. For every time a life is slain by Furnace, the victim's spectral essence is consumed, twisted into a fiery silhouette—a burning echo of who they once were, a Fury. These Furies are stripped of their former identity, instead serving now as enforcers of Aelin. In place of their original skills, they are imbued with heat-based counterparts, transforming their bodies, weapons, and mere existence into instruments of scorching, ceaseless chaos.
Weapons/Paraphernalia: Aelin wields a long, weathered spear—not as a weapon he particularly uses often, but as a symbol of mockery. This spear belonged to the previous king, a ruler who clung to ideals of controlled destruction. Furthermore, resting atop Aelin’s head is a crown of grotesque construction, forged from the bones of every king that came before him. Lastly, Aelin keeps a roll of bandage wrapped around his right eye. The origins of this peculiar choice are unclear—perhaps an injury he sustained, or perhaps it is merely a facade.
Weaknesses:
Aelin's value with strength is a weakness. To him, true power lies in combat, not emotional resilience, not forming friendships, not solidifying alliances. He refuses to follow anyone weak, dismissing their commands as not worth spending his time of day. This dismissal for the weak disrupts alliances and leaves him unwilling to cooperate unless others first prove themselves in battle.
- Furthermore, his disdain for the weak, especially those he deems to have no greater or otherwise promising potential, is a glaring weakness. He views such individuals as beneath notice, often refusing to acknowledge their existence, efforts, or needs. Moreover, his scorn can alienate allies, sow resentment among subordinates, and create unnecessary enemies, all of which can destabilize teams and lead to unforeseen complications.
Whenever he wants something, he'll gets it, and that can be a dangerous flaw. Anyone who stands in his way is to be eliminated, regardless of their importance or value. This ruthless, impulsive behavior frequently undermines alliances and derails plans, turning potential allies into enemies and breeding chaos even among his or another's own ranks.
Aelin's distaste for weakness extends even to even his allies, creating a fatal flaw in his perspective to partnerships. To him, offering aid is an insult; if someone cannot fight for themselves, they are unworthy of survival. This philosophy leads Aelin to abandon those who might otherwise bolster his cause, refusing to intervene even in dire situations. For him, it is a simple equation: prove your strength or perish.
Furnace is a force of indiscriminate destruction under his control, sparing no one—not even his own allies. Its strength and chaos engulf everything in its path, turning the battlefield into a trial of survival for all involved. Aelin’s apathy toward collateral damage only exacerbates the danger; he offers no protection or guidance, leaving his allies to figure out how to endure or perish.
Backs†ory: Don’t make the mistake of thinking Aelin’s life was shaped by tragedy or a troubled upbringing—his evil is not a result of some past hardship or societal failure. In the world of Regression, such brutality is the norm in Ifrit society. To claim his life was tragic would be an insult, for Aelin was born exactly as he is now—unrepentantly cruel and twisted, with no intention of ever being anything else.
From a young age, he was a despised menace, taking joy in tormenting other children simply for the fune of it. His actions were never out of some misguided need for attention or a response to an abusive past; he just relished the pain of others. As an adult, his acts of violence only intensified, ranging from senseless deaths to catastrophic accidents—all done because they amused him. His motivations are not complex or tragic—they are purely driven by his sadistic enjoyment.
Aelin’s existence is not defined by pain or suffering—he's sheer existence as an Ifrit means by nature, he is a pure, unapologetic evil. Born into a world where violence is tradition, where chaos is the foundation of life, he has never known anything but cruelty. And he wouldn't have it any other way, because in his mind, this is simply how things are meant to be.
