Maria Aderon
[E] Maria Aderon (a.k.a. [Iris])
Originally known as "Maria Aderon", Iris is a Seraphim allegedly conceived between the Creator known as [JC] and his "Galatea", Emily Lystra, originally serving as an overseer of the Raxai System before it's demise alongside who she describes as her "siblings". Throughout her journeys far and wide across the omniverse and beyond, she's been cultivated into less of a human and rather an enigma in a human-shaped package.

Golden Dragon Moves
Maria's abilities appear to be divided into seperate stances, the first of which being the Golden Dragon Stance. While in Golden Dragon Stance, Maria appears to stand neutrally, her hands and feet relaxed and apart as she lets the flow of her spiritual energy guide her. From what we can tell, this stance is very much akin to a traditional Shoto character, with your iconic fireball and uppercut, but with some unique follow-ups.Scarlet Fire Moves
While in [Scarlet Fire Stance], Maria appears to close up her body as her breathing takes on a more visceral rhythm, with her usually-cheery disposition hardening into one of cold hatred. In this stance, Maria’s attacks are violent, yet focused, forsaking single-button follow-ups and the ability to take the fight to the air for moves that deal higher damage and combo effectively on the ground.Break Arts
Maria’s version of “Super Moves”. Finishing moves that expend a great deal of Seele Energy in exchange for large amounts of damage. Usually either combo enders or in bids of desperation.Mental characteristics
Personal history
Yo, Maria here. While I was writing this, it kinda came to my attention that...my personal history is a pretty big thing to read through, so to make it a bit easier on ya, I've split this part into a set of "Chapters", which should make it easy to skip to any relevant parts you should find useful...
Chapter 0: The Birth of The First World
On the fifth Day of the year Two-Thousand and Forty-Five of the Existence of the Omniverse, the Artifex decreed that their Seraphim would make their presence known to the Domains of Men and Women, and bestow upon them Gifts which hath been derived from their own Gift of Wisdom. The first would call to them from the Heavens: "Here ye! Mine name is Micaela, the First of the Seraphim. I bestow upon thee the Gift of Unity, for through Unity, ye shall find Strength, and through Strength, ye shall be able to overcome the Evils of the Omniverse." The second would call to them: "Here ye! Mine name is Iris, the Second of the Seraphim. I bestow upon thee the Gift of Curosity, for through Curiosity, thou shalt be able to reap the bounties of the Domains of Knowledge and Wisdom. I also bestow upon thee the Gift of Love, for through Love, thine Unity shalt be bolstered, and thy Emotions shall be unleashed." The third would call to them: "Here ye! Mine name is Orion, the Third of the Seraphim. I bestow upon thee the Gift of Harmony, so that within thine Unity, thou shalt be able to coordinate to form Colonies and Civilizations in Their image, so that thou shalt be able to survive and spread Their word amongst you." The fourth would call to them: "Here ye! Mine name is Eridanus, the Fourth of the Seraphim. I bestow upon thee the Gift of Knowledge, for through Knowledge, thou shalt be able to build the foundations upon which to develop your Colonies and Civilizations, and gain an Understanding of both the Earth upon which thou resides, and your selves." The last would call to them: "Hear my call! Mine name is Ayumu, the Fifth of the Seraphim. I bestow upon you the Gift of Purpose, for you shall always be driven upon the Path which the Artifex hath ordained, and you shall serve Them as Their Children, upon which you shall utilize your Gifts in order to honor Them, and as you honor Them, you shall Unite to search for Understanding and Knowledge, to combine into Wisdom so that you shall be able to one day join Them amongst the Heavens, within a Paradise for which They have quartered for Their most devout." With their calls within the minds of Man, the Seraphim would preside over them from their perch in the Heavens, known to Man as their Curators, and peace would be known throughout the Lands which They created for the next Thirty-Thousand Days, during which Man grew, erecting first villages, and henceforth, kingdoms in Their name, ruled by individuals selected by the Curators in order to bring fair and just order to Man's peoples and Civilizations, and thus, the force that would become known as Humanity would form amongst the Lands of the World, which they would name Treon, as their Artifex had willed it, from which their existence would be lived forever. And the Omniverse listened...- Codex Creationis, Inintium 1

Project Resonance Log One
December 25th, 2014
“Da…Da…”
The muttering of the child had rung through my ears so clearly, but my mind could hardly believe it. The fact that the young babe in my arms had called me its father. The fact that the most beautiful woman in the world was laying in a hospital bed next to me, her smile beaming with pride at our shared accomplishment. (She had certainly done most of the heavy lifting, mind you, and to say otherwise would be a disservice to her efforts.) The fact that I was indeed a father, a Jester who had only possessed bitter feelings towards conceiving a child no more than five years ago, had found himself holding an infant he could call his own in his arms. A child him and the Artifex had shared together as a sign of the union that had birthed countless worlds and civilizations across the Omniverse. A union that had been tested on several occasions, the most outstanding being the loss of our first-born. I wish I could tell you that this had been the first time me and Emily had tried to conceive. That everything had gone smoothly and we were celebrating the birth of our first-born like any other new parent, but even in the Imaginary Plane, as we had come to call it, there was still a deep-rooted sadness in the midst of it all. A sadness that, despite our newfound standing, was still present within the genetic code we had been founded upon within Negative One, or the First Earth. A sadness that led to the death of our first child when she was only a few hours old. That loss had crushed us internally, and had even gone so far as to damage our sacred relationship. Emily took a month to herself to let her heart recover whilst I stayed in the Crystal Palace, contemplating with the Seraphim about where I had gone wrong time and time again despite the fact they insisted that there was nothing to place the blame upon other than the flaws from which our humanity had originated. I couldn't take that as an answer. It felt like a copout. A concession for a problem that could have been avoided. Even as I held our rainbow baby, our Iris within my arms, the ghost of our guardian angel, Capataza, continues to haunt me. She haunts my dreams, she haunts my nightmares. Even in the waking world, if I look far enough into the corner of my eye, I can see her there, staring at me, her face and frame as if she was about a teenager. Perhaps she was pestering me from beyond the bounds of space-time, from the comfort of a timeline in which she had survived her birth. A timeline where Iris’ missing sister was just as excited about her arrival as her parents were. Perhaps the very reason for her pestering was because she was a sign of what could have been. A sign of what could still be if I had exerted enough effort, and it is in pursuit of this effort that I shall officially begin Project Resonance.
It pains me to use Iris like this, but with her possession of the blood of a Creator like myself and of a Creation like her mother, she is the most suitable candidate for interfacing with the fabrics of space-time in a way that our Negative One origins prevent us from doing without assistance from mundane tools or deities. Since she resides within the Imaginary Plane, her existence is not hard-encoded with the rules that keep us bound to a closed-minded Reality like ours does.

November 2nd, 2164
I first learned about what I personally call the “Second Layer” from someone who had a rather personal experience with psychedelics, and a claim that many had seen a world which was so bizarrely different from ours. A world in which we are both everything and nothing. A continuous stream of compound existence which our minds ordinarily keep us from accessing by proxy of possessing a sense of individuality. Through meditation, it is possible to create a state in which you can incite an “Ego Death”, in which you temporarily reject this individuality and merge your existence and spirit into the stream.
While within the stream, you will ordinarily be greeted by an environment that's, to put it simply, psychedelic in nature. The environment and colors around you are always warping, twisting, and contorting, flowing like water, yet you can still barely make out individual figures amongst the streams. The place which most tend to end up, and where I also did, was a “Waiting Room”, in which a hawk-like humanoid stopped me, telling me that I should never had gotten that far. He was a Guardian, his mission being to keep those who weren't supposed to access the stream from doing so. As you must incite a spiritual Ego Death in order to get that far, your sense of self-preservation will no longer be maintained by your brain, and you'll typically stop breathing involuntarily within a few minutes. Despite this risk, and with my time limit in mind, I asked if he would be my Guide, to which he agreed. As we exited the Waiting Room, I saw a rather vast landscape of colors, with beings of various shapes and sizes roaming about without much of a care or paying me any heed. We were all part of the same stream of energy, so why should they care?
He informed me of the nature of that place, and that the human mind was typically kept from accessing the stream for the reasons I demoted above. A confirmation of what I had heard from the other visitors, and that I would die within 20 years of something that I could prevent. What that was, he didn't get to tell me. My time ran out and the body started to choke, during which I bid my farewell and retreated back into the First Layer. Paralysis came first, though Ayumu was a dear and helped reacquaint my spirit to the First Layer. It was then I heard the voice of the Guardian, with him telling me that I was always welcome to return to the Second Layer should I wish to.
How could I not? My fascination with that world piqued after seeing it for myself, and I believe there's much more to discover in the world beyond our own.
What's even more bizarre is that being under the influence wasn't necessary for me to get there. Whether or not it mattered or affected the duration of a visit, I don't know, but my personal code keeps me from finding out whether that's the case or not. A few minutes is more than enough.
The Archives of the Seraphim Iris: Codex Creationis [Book of Intinium] [1]
The Twelfth Day of the Year Two-Thousand and Sixty-Four of the Existence of the Omniverse
If you are reading these Archives, that means that you have been especially chosen either by myself or to those in which I have placed my utmost trust to carry on my legacy in the event of either my passing or my spiriting away across the infinitesimal planes of the Omniverse. To thou whom this tome hath been entrusted, you shall learn of the truths behind the veil that the Elfanians, Seraphim, and Artifex have kept away from thine eyes, so that you may be prepared for the trials that face you. The Old Records upon which the History of the Raxai System has been recorded are naught but a lie. A caricature crafted by the devils who perverted the kingdom of Elariam and cast her true King and Queen in a stony prison. Other than the Esper, whose numbers seldom appear within Treon's forests now, let this also serve as an renewed written archive to the true Past of this realm, from the perspective naught of Man, but the perspective of those who hath watched over thee for so long. Let this retelling of naught the Old Records, but of the Codex Creationis be one naught biased by corruption or blight, in order to make way for the Truth of the Omniverse.
In the beginning, on the first Day of the year Two-Thousand and Fourteen of the Existence of the Omniverse, the Artifex carved a space into the infinite Cosmos with a Blade of colored ink and iron, from which Space, a World emerged. Bright, young, and beautiful was she. Her Lands untainted, ripe, and filled to the brim with the Gift of Life They hath given it...though such Life lacked the complexity They so desired. Naught but simple plants and animals, but such was good enough for Them. They decreed this World Treon, and the Omniverse listened.
On the second Day, They carved with Their Blade a division which separated the Space of Treon from the Space in which They lived and presided over it. They decreed this Space the Heavens, and Treon's Space the Earth, and the Omniverse listened.
On the third Day, They carved with their blade into the Gift of Life the caricature of Man, who They decreed to be Created from Their image. The Omniverse listened, and from the Earth, emerged Their new Creation, which bore Their image. They then carved their blade into this Creation, splitting it in twain, yet the Creation didn't feel pain. The first half, who would remain in Their image, They decreed as Adrian, of the domain of Men, and the second, who would be based upon Adrian's image, with aspects which completed his own, would be named Lux, of the domain of Women, for She hath been born from the image of Men, and together, they would walk the Earth for eternity as the Children of the Artifex, and the Omniverse listened.
On the fourth Day, The Artifex would create five angels, whom They would decree as the Seraphim, to guide the domains of Men and Women, and to protect them from the dangers of the greater Omniverse. They carved these angels from the images of Men and Women, so that those who resides upon the Earth may comprehend them, and blessed them with the Gift of Wisdom, for to be guides, they needeth know all things. The first, he decreed as Micaela, the second, as Iris, the third, as Orion, the fourth, as Eridanus, and the fifth, as Ayumu. Micaela, Iris, and Ayumu were to be created in the image of Women, and Orion and Eridanus were to be created in the image of Men. Micaela was to preside over the other Seraphim, ensuring that they stayed upon the path which They had set out for them, and to lead them and the forces of Man to battle with the Evils of the Omniverse, should they arise, and the Omniverse listened.
On the fifth Day of the year Two-Thousand and Forty-Five of the Existence of the Omniverse, the Artifex decreed that their Seraphim would make their presence known to the Domains of Men and Women, and bestow upon them Gifts which hath been derived from their own Gift of Wisdom.
The first would call to them from the Heavens:
"Here ye! Mine name is Micaela, the First of the Seraphim. I bestow upon thee the Gift of Unity, for through Unity, ye shall find Strength, and through Strength, ye shall be able to overcome the Evils of the Omniverse."
The second would call to them:
"Here ye! Mine name is Iris, the Second of the Seraphim. I bestow upon thee the Gift of Curiosity, for through Curiosity, thou shalt be able to reap the bounties of the Domains of Knowledge and Wisdom. I also bestow upon thee the Gift of Love, for through Love, thine Unity shalt be bolstered, and thy Emotions shall be unleashed."
The third would call to them:
"Here ye! Mine name is Orion, the Third of the Seraphim. I bestow upon thee the Gift of Harmony, so that within thine Unity, thou shalt be able to coordinate to form Colonies and Civilizations in Their image, so that thou shalt be able to survive and spread Their word amongst you."
The fourth would call to them:
"Here ye! Mine name is Eridanus, the Fourth of the Seraphim. I bestow upon thee the Gift of Knowledge, for through Knowledge, thou shalt be able to build the foundations upon which to develop your Colonies and Civilizations, and gain an Understanding of both the Earth upon which thou resides, and your selves."
The last would call to them:
"Hear my call! Mine name is Ayumu, the Fifth of the Seraphim. I bestow upon you the Gift of Purpose, for you shall always be driven upon the Path which the Artifex hath ordained, and you shall serve Them as Their Children, upon which you shall utilize your Gifts in order to honor Them, and as you honor Them, you shall Unite to search for Understanding and Knowledge, to combine into Wisdom so that you shall be able to one day join Them amongst the Heavens, within a Paradise for which They have quartered for Their most devout."
With their calls within the minds of Man, the Seraphim would preside over them from their perch in the Heavens, known to Man as their Curators, and peace would be known throughout the Lands which They created for the next Five Thousand Days, during which Man grew, erecting first villages, and henceforth, kingdoms in Their name, ruled by individuals selected by the Curators in order to bring fair and just order to Man's peoples and Civilizations, and thus, the force that would become known as Humanity would form amongst the Lands of the World, which they would name Treon, as their Artifex had willed it, from which their existence would be lived forever.
And the Omniverse listened...
