Character Profile - Helios

Basically if Jesus had toonforce...and no chill

Name: Helios No.α, Hyperion, Saviour, Sphere Saviour,  "Smoldering Wing", "Martyr of Light", 
Origin: Silverio Trinity
Gender: Male
Classification: Personified Sphere/Autonomous Asterism, Planetes, "Genesis Myth", avatar of Sphere Riser (at first)
Age: Unknown (as personification of Sphere Riser he's around 10 years old, but technically he existed since birth of Sphere Riser), spiritually 10000+ years at the end of Silverio Trinity
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman characteristics, enhanced senses, non-corporeal, fire manipulation, immortality (types 1 and 4), high-dimensional interference (is a high-dimensional being and can draw power from Sphere), can generate radioactive light, master swordsmanship, his unnatural spirit can literally break common sense causing him to evolve without limits, telepathy and unintentional mindfuck, reality warping, limited dimensional manipulation, dimensional travel, infinite energy, can collapse causality to destroy scenarios inconvenient for him
Weaknesses: Talk No Jutsu
Destructive Capacity: At least island level+, probably higher (he doesn't focus on pure destruction, but due to his supreme rank in convergence he can pierce through Kerberos and Rain's anti-particles, something that not even Kagutsuchi and Valzelide have achieved) , potentially universe level with awakening (he was able to lift dimension of indefinite size and shatter it to smithereens, at the end of the game, his singular mind surpassed everyone in the New Age and not even consensus of Yamato people, hundreds of millions of high-dimensional beings, was able to impede his actions, and this was by no means end of his evolution)
Range: Extended melee range with his twin swords, potentially planetary range with Arcadia, cross-dimensional with true ability of his Sphere
Speed: Speed of light to unknown degree, FTL with his true Sphere (his ability to collapse causality is the result of lightspeed breakthrough), can further supplement his speed with Nuclear Thruster
Durability: At least island level+ (because convergence of his Asterism extends even to his body, Helios has unnatural density that allowed him to no sell attacks from Gilbert, Dainsleif and even Kerberos), around universe level with awakening (his body density surpassed even that of singularity, in the end not even Amaterasu could do anything to him), combination of his Asterism and infinite spirit makes him downright impossible to kill
Lifting Strength: Superhuman normally, immeasurable through awakening (he was able to pick up entire dimension and use it as a blunt weapon, resulting impact shattered this dimension into small pieces, he can also throw sculpted chunks of space as if they were physical objects)
Striking Strength: At least Class EJ+ (has reached the breaking point of convergence, allowing him to potentially breach any kind of defense and material), immeasurable with awakening (does crazy shit like sculpting shields out of dimensions, using world itself as a scabbard for his swords, punching interdimensional explosions, headbutting dimension-cutting and matter-annihilating blades, etc.)
Stamina: Infinite
Standard Equipment: Two swords of densely converged astral particles
Intelligence: Combat genius, can instantly adapt to battlefield in order to make any surprise attacks on him irrelevant, swordsmanship inherited from his original and successor of Murasame's school, despite his young age Helios grew to understand sorrow of weak people and unlike other Slaves of Light is willing to have dialogue and desire to create world beneficial for everyone...while still understimating his own power which would result in mass genocide
Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- Raging Sphere Saviour: Helios' Sphere, breaking point of convergence, the answer of "knowledge"; desire to learn about all thoughts, discuss with everyone and derive shape of the ideal future from mutual dialogue. While genuinely walking the path of light, by learning about sorrow and mourning of normal people he no longer wishes to create world born from his selfish craving, but one that everyone agrees on. The resulting ability is that of complete convergence. Compressing enormous amount of flames and astral particles to form his swords allows him to shatter all stars (abilities) with peerless penetrating power. Because of its huge density, Helios' star can no longer be denied by any power, be it huge mass of matter, invisible and indefensible bombs or even anti-particles which negate any form of ability - all of these disappear as if shattered upon contact with impenetrable wall, never reaching core. This starlight's effect isn't limited to his swords, but extends to his entire body allowing him to do irrational feats like headbutting Kerberos' miasma or ignoring Gilbert's impacts. At first he was susceptible to indirect fighting methods like dimensional dislocation, but by converging astral particles even further he became immortal microcosm that can't be stopped by spatial manipulation, nor anti-particles of Rain, gaining robustness that repels all laws of the outside world. Furthermore, being evolution of Mk.Braze Hyperion and Gamma-ray Keraunos, allows him to generate powerful flames and radioactive light (although different from Hero's version), reducing everything to mere atoms. Inheriting fencing skills from Christopher Valzelide and Ashley Horizon sublimated this simple ability into terrifying weapon capable of defeating any opposition only with 2 swords.

• Nuclear Thruster: Hyperion's technique which reproduces principles of fuel acceleration device (rocket booster) from Old Age, emitting huge amount of explosive flames from his back akin to burner, thus drastically increasing his speed. Helios can also take advantage from acceleration recoil to evade attacks or use full speed for powerful charge-like attack. Even if Helios himself will be stopped, aurora of light surrounding his body will move according to his will and pierce through anything regardless of defensive measures. After subsequent awakenings, he can perfom continuous multi-activation to increase his speed seemingly infinitely.

• Incarnation of the Sun: true power of Helios’ Asterism, revealed after he was killed by Rain. It's the ability to collapse causality via lightspeed breakthrough. With principle similiar to that of black hole, Helios converges enormous amount of energy in his interior, literally pushing mass of the star into human-sized container. Outside world can no longer bear crimson flames that keep rampaging inside him and absolute laws of physics crumble into dust, not being able to withstand this overwhelming mass. Astral particles circulating through his body surpass speed of light and flames that coil around his body infinitely repeat nuclear fission and fusion. It’s the power to destroy all laws and concepts bound by special relativity, ability which destroys every impossibility with spirit and willpower. He’s no longer simple law of different world with ego, he’s now naked singularity which erases time/space, cracks dimension with mere movement and twists doctrine of the world to trample opponents who reign superior over him – it’s a logic that doesn’t make sense, made possible only by Helios drive towards future. He can now cut every elementary particle of anti-astral, kick interdimensional vibrations, headbutt blade of darkness which severs dimensions, negate annihilation reaction emerging from inside his body, unravel foundations of creation to sculpt shield out of dimension and use it as projectile, crush all abilities by destroying space, destroy world and star with mere will, ignite singularity merely by walking, manifest flames of his soul with simple yell powerful enough to redirect multiple starlights at the level of Sphere, chew on anti-particles, shatter world and order in all directions around him with determination that he’s not dead yet and pick up singularity (different dimension) with bare hands and use it as a powerful blunt weapon. Subsequent awakenings increased his density beyond that of singularity allowing him to destroy space with mere glance and voice, no longer requiring physical effort. The more he evolves the easier it’s for him to break complicated laws and techniques, everything will be resolved only by him fighting earnestly, with punches, kicks and swords. Ultimately, heat of his own spirit surpassed consciousness of all humans in the world and New Age itself and not even consensus of Amaterasu can break his will. He’s genuine anti-star, anti-space, anti-order and anti-creation weapon which accelerates collapse of the world until he remains victorious. Every order and every concept which impedes Helios will be completely crushed, existing laws of the universe will disappear from reality and limits estabilished at the genesis of universe will be cancelled to turn Helios into ideal saviour, unshackled by fate of creation and announcing new world with flames of creation, while at the same time burning old world with flames of disaster.

• Immortal Sun: because fundamentally Helios isn’t human, but Asterism with ego, his ability to collapse causality excels particularly in immortality. This form of restoration isn’t related to regeneration or resurrection, but destruction of damage itself. This’s an absurd form of immortality which denies reality where he was killed and smashes it to pieces with spirit and willpower. It doesn’t matter if he’s decapitated, have his body decomposed by anti-particles or frozen by absolute zero; even if he’s under surge of hundreds of otherwordly laws and all particles in his body are completely destroyed he will never stop – every inconvenience that’s in the way of his salvation will be destroyed without mercy. While he still feels pain it’s of no concern to him as nuclear explosion of infinite spirit rampaging in his inner world will banish all negative orders. Each time Helios recovers from death he acquires immunity to the ability/law that killed him. Furthermore, this cycle of destruction and restoration causes him to awaken seemingly without end, rotation speed of his sword raises to the point he can defeat countless powers one by one and visual ability increases to such degree it can only be compared to insight usurping space from its mysteries. Even if he as the core of Sphere Saviour will be cut off, it still won’t be enough. Helios will crush any causality and rebel against creation to emerge victorious.

• Reactive Armor: Helios converges to the limit all lightspeed breaking particles in his body and turns himself into bomb. The resulting explosion destroys entire space around him and defends him from any attack. Not even 500 laws of different world summoned by Ash were able to do anything to him. This’s technique that only madman could come up with, but Helios who can destroy reality of his own death can use it freely.

• Blade of Hyperion: sword slash released at speed faster than light, infused with characteristic of concept destruction can cut even emptiness. This attack severs opponent connection with universe, sending them to oblivion and plunging their soul into darkness of no return, burning even possibility of resurrection. Not even Rain who underwent singularization and was removed from any physical influence could match this power.

• Hiken―Kagutsuchi: Helios technique as a swordsman, rather than saviour. Using characteristics of Sphere Saviour he drives his sword into space and uses the world itself as a scabbard, resulting liberation and recoil from this extraordinary iai technique is fast enough to cut down Ash’s body beyond his cognitive perception.

• Singularity: different space created under certain conditions. It's a rift in reality which tinges astral passing from higher dimension with characteristics of the Sphere to change law of the Earth. Singularity requires core to exist, usually creators of the Sphere. Unlike Amaterasu which is space supported by hundreds of millions, Sphere Saviour is maintained only by one person (although Link System can supplement that) making it a bit fragile. However, destruction of singularity doesn't result in destruction of the Sphere which is already made eternal by existing in crucible of concepts, The Other Side.

• Arcadia: Helios’ singularity, source of astral particles which reflect his ideals and fall on Earth to repaint physical laws with new order. Arcadia's doctrine is rejection of physical limits. "It's impossible to that", "I'm weak too weak to do that" - limits estabilished since genesis of the universe secure safety of living beings, but at the same time are the source of sorrow where all humans must look realistically at situation and determine their own limitations. That's why, under radiance of Arcadia everyone will receive privilege to break these limits with own's heart and mind. There's no discrimination here - regardless of age, race or gender, whether they're genuine humans, remodeled bio-weapons with no identity or pollar opposite of light - every single being will be able to transcend their own limits in order to grasp the future. Wagner of Fafnir and Puppet Soldiers of Shizuru regain their personalities and memories, some of them develop Asterism. Each one firmly takes life into own hands and fight by exceeding limits, again and again. Astral amplifies every time they vow to save someone, to survive and to grab tomorrow. Ironically, collective light of their souls bring forth flames of creation and destruction, that's because everything starts with fire. Thus, incineration of old, imperfect order and setting up new law is only natural for disciples of light. It's heaven (hell) where all humans bet their souls for better tomorrow, battling in never-ending struggle and dyeing world in crimson. However, this's merely imperfect Arcadia. Due to Rain's Chain Seal it was unable to express its true nature, but through Helios awakening, true utopia descended upon the world:

• Elysium: the world where boundary of light and darkness is clearly visible. Those who seek tomorrow, those who aim for a better future, in other words, people who have clear affirmation about ideal form will receive blessing of Arcadia. With one thought and one heart, those who conform to its doctrine will be able to collapse causality, peel off lies of reality and expose their ideal selves. World which grants infinite power in response to positive concepts such as justice, resolve, courage and love, so long you're righteous person it's possible to break through any impossible event. Conversely, fools and wrongdoers will be weed out without receiving any benefits, even if they perfom surprise attack on noble person everything will be bounced back, doing no harm. Those who are tied to the present world, without looking at the future, will be unilaterally driven away. All people will be evaluated based on their wishes swirling in Arcadia and in turn receive dazzling protection tailored to each individual walking the path of light. Even learning of people's thoughts is merely first stage, now knowing consensus of mankind, Helios will move earnestly to grant these wishes. Even if 90% of humanity will die not able to withstand mental load, Helios will only turn tears and regrets into righteous indignation to further promote his resolve. Amaterasu will be destroyed together with New Age (world) and from their ashes next generation of creation optimized for human nature will emerge. While details remain unknown, there's no doubt that it's an order where craving for future will bring physical power and all concepts will be determined just by subjective view of the person. Naturally, it's nothing more than hell. World adapted to man's ideal form cannot be peaceful. In response to harmonious law of Amaterasu who purposely lowered the output, those who succumb to Arcadia will be able to spontaneously increase their power, longing for grand battles depicted in myths.

• Link System: it's a system Helios created in order to question all humanity for the best form of the future. By connecting souls of mankind to Arcadia he can speak to them directly and in turn, they can speak to him - mutual dialogue which is the root of Sphere Savior. He planned to reveal all mysteries about Sphere and Amaterasu, about epic tale and revenge story, to all humans equally. The important thing for him is to not seek answer alone, if he will forcibly push his will on humanity then tragedy and tears of victims will cause new Sphere to emerge and with it, counterattack. Thus, it's only logical for him to first ask, listen to the answers and derive the best possible shape for the world. It's the future with no secrecy, ultimate form of democracy where each one can directly appeal to the person with the highest authority in the world. Billions of people connected to magic lamp (Sphere) which fulfills all wishes, billions of dialogues exchanged to shape the future and billions of hopes for Helios to carry them on his shoulders. It's the order of salvation where everyone hold their hands and fight together for prosperity of humanity. All these thoughts and wishes swirling in Arcadia will elevate Helios to the status of mythical saviour, one that will always come to rescue the weak and banish evil. At first glance it's the perfect world which would result in happiness of everyone, however, the fact is ordinary people cannot bear weight of Helios' spirit - by directly connecting with humans all over the world, at least 90% of mankind's minds would evaporate. Even if some of them will survive, disparity of existence between perfect being such as Helios and ordinary people will result in creating "Slaves of Light", humans who cannot escape longing for their ideals, while simultaneously knowing they can never reach them and involuntary turn into ashes under radiance of Arcadia.

• Apostles: those who come in contact with shadow of singularity and resonate with orichalcum will receive even greater power, becoming pseudo-Planetes with overwhelming power, amplified Asterism and quasi-teleportation. Ironically, the only Apostles of Helios are Gilbert and Dainsleif – fanatics of light with the highest drive towards future who are ready to take any challenge in order to wipe off tears of ordinary people. They deprave these undeniably noble ideas to constantly evolve and bring out endless output. Type of people Helios hates the most.

• Trinity of Light: it's the resonance of Sphere Saviour and his Apostles. Because progress is fundamental concept of the Arcadia, Helios, Gilbert and Dainsleif form virtuous cycle where their fighting spirits collide with each other to promote evolution of their souls and thus, power. Through this he was able to overpower and escape from Rain's dimensional dislocation.

- Personified Sphere: what Sphere brings isn't limited to power and starlight. It has an effect of changing its appearance based on observer. Just like ancient humans who defined shapeless concepts with their interpretations of reality, Sphere as a supreme power transcending 3-dimensional world can be personified, with someone's prayer acting as a core for their existence. If Sphere can be compared to wish-granting magic lamp then this act is similiar to drawing out genie. While contact with Sphere is very difficult, once it's made there's literally no limitations to what it can do. Thus, when Ash "saw" essence of epic tale, he was left with longing and shame, feelings so powerful they've given Sphere Riser its outer shell - giant of light from the summit of heaven, bringing glory to all people and smiting darkness with cold steel of his blade, Helios. Ultimately, he transcended his fate as avatar of Sphere Riser and became personification of his own Sphere instead.

- Slave of Light: refers to being enslaved by positive doctrines of humanity: courage and love, prosperity and progress - desire to move forward without looking back. Although at first sight this makes them model for humanity, all of them possess an attribute that turns then into walking disasters, namely excess. Their souls brim with positive emotions, ambitions and expectations; endless passion causes them to discard any sort of attention to the surroundings, beside genuine respect for the opponent. Not only bringing an enormous amount of destruction in the world, but also causing their own bodies to collapse and meltdown, as physical vessel is unable to support this overwhelming spiritual power.
