The Glaytor Clan has been guarding the Tomb of Alastor, an ancient ground in which a powerful Demon has been sealed away for thousands of years by the very clan who guard him now, the Glaytors.
It has been 5000 years, and the newest generation of warriors for the Glaytor Clan, including two brothers known as Shoke and Krieg. Shoke, the older brother, was at first considered lesser as he was not as good as his younger brother Krieg at combat and the mastery of magical elements and much much more. By the time Shoke had mastered one fighting style, Krieg had mastered three, two of which being unarmed and one being with sword combat. However, on Shoke's 20th birthday, Shoke learned he could flawlessly manipulate a power known as "Solid Light", a power that, when fully mastered, could control Light, Darkness, and Plasma. The clan was stunned, completely shocked beyond comprehension. They began treating referring to him as "the Prodigy" and "the Chosen One", as Krieg was shoved to the background and not even given the respect he deserved. While he loved his brother, Krieg secretly loathed him for stealing the attention of the clan away. He had mastered a style of magic referred to as the Black Flame, also called the power of Inferno. Flames that could come from any Shadows, almost as if from nowhere. Not just regular flames, but black flames. Over the next two years, Krieg's jealousy rose, despite Shoke not wanting to be this "Chosen One" that he was constantly referred to. It didn't matter though, as the damage was already done. On the day of Krieg's birthday, he went into the Tomb of Alastor and removed the blade that served as the Key to Alastor's prison within the Tomb, but not before saying one thing:
"Alastor! I, Krieg of the clan Glaytor, have come to free you from your eternal prison and offer you my body as a shell for you to hold as you regain your strength! And to prove my honesty, I remove the key to your prison! I remove the legendary blade Galahad, freeing your for all eternity!"
He removes the blade, a new dark leather sheath forming as he removes the blade from it's stone sheath. A dark mist erupts from the Tomb of Alastor, flooding out of the entrance, alerting everyone to what had happened. Shoke and the leader of the clan raced to the entrance of the Tomb of Alastor to see what had happened, but as they reached the entranced, they saw Krieg, dressed in a black and navy blue ensemble. At his waist, the blade Galahad. He smiled at his brother and the clan leader.
"It seems you overestimated your clan's loyalty, Scurrilous. Now I, Alastor, have finally been freed!" Alastor, having control over Krieg's body, turns into the black mist and flies off into the sky. Tears form in Shoke's eyes as he immediately chases after the dark mist, leaving the Clan's city and taking a plain Broadsword with him. He runs off into the woods, tears flowing down his face, infinite fury building within him. This Alastor stole his brother away from him... and he was going to get him back.
Needless to say, Shoke did not know of Krieg's hatred of him and still doesn't. And thus Shoke's story begins.
But this is more than just Shoke's story. There are two others who this story is about. Two more who will change the story immensley.

Quick Backstory:
Shoke was born into the Glaytor clan like many others, a clan dedicated to the defense of an ancient tomb that held a great demon away from the world. Like most children within the Glaytor Clan, he was not raised by his parents, but rather the schooling system, making Shoke have little connection to his father and mother, who both held positions of power within the clan, his father even becoming the leader of said clan. Over time he gained more and more siblings, but none of them were more impressive and important than Kriegara, or Krieg, who was so skilled at combat he became Shoke's rival AND superior despite being five years younger than him. The two were relatively strong rivals, Shoke loving his brother, being super thankful for his existence, as it gave him a reason to become better, to improve, to be more than who he was. However, on Shoke's 20th birthday, he learned of his inherited ability to control the power known as Solid Light, which not only gave him great power and skill without him needing to train, but basically made it so that the entire clan, who had mostly ignored Shoke and paid attention to Krieg up to this point, proclaim him as "the Chosen One" and the "Descendant of Angeal", which not only slightly annoyed Shoke, but also infuriated Krieg, as he had earned his skills whereas Shoke was just given them because of some stupid Prophecy. 2 years pass, and Krieg's annoyance becomes pure Hatred, albeit buried deep within him. Eventually, on Krieg's 17th birthday, 20 days before Shoke's 22nd birthday, he steals the legendary sword Galahad, frees and merges with Alastor, and runs off to assist in returning the demon to his true power. Shoke, this to have all been an accident, chases after Krieg and Alastor to try and stop them and free Krieg.

Character Bio: Belail
Backstory:
There are many things that can be said about the immense power of magic, but one of the greatest unspoken rules...
...is be careful when you combine magics.
However, not all combinations are bad. Some can hold immense use. That is what Alastor and Krieg discovered when they combined the Shadow magic of the great Demon and the Black Fire of the Glaytor... which created something incredible.
An Ash Demon. It was weak, like a low skilled warrior, however it could be easily created and served their creator to it's death. So... Alastor began creating more of these beings, which Krieg named "Sidonai". Soon he began creating stronger ones, which Krieg named "Asmondeus". Finally Alastor created two final Ash Demons to lead the small army they forged, the first named "Samael", who was second in command, and the leader was known as "Belial".
Samael led the Sidonai and Asmondeus into battle against the one known as Shoke and any who would assist him, but Belial remained with Alastor/Krieg as a guardian, as a protector.
