At first glance, they are a ticking time bomb: a broken paladin, the embodiment of light, the embodiment of chaos, a fugitive Death Eater, and a renegade Templar. Yet, their shared pain and their status as outcasts bind them together on a profound level.
Their journey through the Astral Chaos is a quest for identity and home. Whether purging evil from new worlds, fleeing the cosmic forces seeking to hunt them down, or amassing enough power to rewrite their own histories, this conclave has become a formidable force. They have ceased to be victims of their respective universes, becoming instead the architects of their own multiversal destiny.
AWDALYTH
WANDERING GUARDIAN
AWDALYTH (ALY)
Lurean Aly, haunted by a tragic past, searched for a long time for her path after helping to free Baldur's Gate and extricating herself from her status as a half-illy.
She traveled the astral plane indefinitely until she reached a world very similar to our own. Through an astral rift, she encountered Soul Calibur and Soul Edge, two swords of immeasurable power. Both swords attempted to enter her mind, but Aly, who was not keen on having a parasite in her own body, lashed out at them, shattering them. However, the power unleashed was so immense that Aly was expelled from the astral rift, losing consciousness.
She was awakened by two women who claimed to be Aly herself, or at least two of her most prominent incarnations. Due to the soul remnants that remained in Aly when she tried to destroy the Soul Edge and Soul Calibur swords, two manifestations were created from the affinity that Aly had with the swords during her brief time in the astral rift.
ELEMENTARY CLERIC
FAITH
Soul Calibur had been waiting for a new host after disposing of Siegfried. The return of the cursed sword was inevitable, and rarely did a warrior manage to connect, even briefly, to the astral rifts.
A warrior had arrived and piqued the interest of Soul Calibur's spirit. The energy emanating from this Tiefling knew no bounds in that world, making her a perfect host for its own purposes. However, upon attempting to enter the mind of the mysterious warrior, the holy sword realized there was an unbreakable wall surrounding the woman's consciousness. Contrary to what it expected, the warrior struck the sword, forcing Soul Calibur to retreat.
Even so, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to forge a bond with this mysterious woman. The Tiefling was an extremely intriguing guest, so before expelling the warrior from the astral rift, she implanted a fragment of herself into the woman's body. She would try to gain her trust at all costs, manifesting herself as "Faith," the living embodiment of Aly's light side, who now accompanies her wherever she goes.
SOUL CONQUEROR
SIN
Just as Soul Calibur became interested in Aly, Soul Edge's obsession with dominating the new Tiefling led the cursed sword to bind itself to a physical form. Because it could no longer emerge as a spirit as Inferno, and its last host, "Nightmare," had been defeated, Soul Edge embedded itself in Aly's consciousness after the Tiefling attempted to destroy it.
The cursed sword linked a part of itself to a manifestation based on Aly's consciousness, representing Aly's darkest intentions and thoughts, hoping to gain her trust so that, when the time came, it could forge a bond with the Tiefling as its new host to satiate its hunger for souls. Aly's destructive power and vengeful nature made her a perfect candidate.
From this is born "Sin" a conscious combination of the spirit of the cursed sword and Aly's dark side, now joining her hoping to expand its influence on the Tiefling's mind.
LEARNED WITCH
SYLPHIRA MORGATH
Sylph was one of the many prominent witches at Hogwarts. Although she seemed indifferent to the many social and moral aspects the wizarding school offered to students who wished to become Aurors, she never told anyone about her ability to see and manipulate ancient magic. She believed this would help her seek greater and more ambitious power, allowing her to experiment and control the thin thread of Death's Veil.
This led her to commit atrocious acts against her own family and friends, from shattering her own soul to bearing the Dark Mark and eventually becoming a Death Eater.
Using her knowledge of the Veil of Death and the instability caused by her own fragmented soul, Sylph attempted a forbidden ritual to cross the boundaries of reality. The ritual worked, but it came at a price. She was ripped from the Wizarding World and cast into the Astral Plane, adrift and starved for magical energy.
It was there that she felt it: a massive resonance of soul energy. Not a Horcrux, but something alive, burning with vengeance and light. She found Aly and, more importantly, sensed the remnants of Soul Edge and Soul Calibur within the tiefling. For a witch who fractured her own soul to conquer death, Aly represents a broken remnant of tragedy and death.
Now, she walks alongside her new companions on the path of redemption... unless she finds a greater power to aspire to along the way.
THE UNTAMABLE
VALENTINA CONTI
She was once a first-tier Templar Master, revered for her cunning and loyalty. However, her faith in the Order was shattered when she uncovered a plot by her superiors to use a powerful Artifact of Eden to control the will of an entire nation—rather than merely guide it. She stood firmly against this total loss of free will, viewing it as a corruption of the very doctrine of order she had sworn to protect.
The Order’s reaction was swift and brutal. She was branded a traitor and a heretic, and her own Templar unit was dispatched to hunt her down. Knowing she could not win a direct confrontation and that her life was forfeit, Elara fled, taking with her a damaged fragment of the artifact. In a desperate attempt to escape through a secret ancient laboratory, the artifact activated erratically, tearing open a rift that sucked her into the astral chaos.
Disoriented and nearly consumed by the chaotic energies, she was discovered by Aly and her manifestations. Faith sensed a spark of noble light within her, while Sin perceived the potential for hatred toward those who had betrayed her. Sylphira, the Dark Witch, recognized the telltale signs of ancient energy manipulation. Cautiously accepted by the group, Elara now joins their ranks, hoping to find a new purpose—and perhaps, eventually, a way to purge the corruption from her former Order—armed with the knowledge of their secrets and an unwavering determination.
