The Artificial Mastermind
| Name : Ezekiel Ambrose
| Nickname : Ezekiel’s name is quite weird, and so many people including BLADE will call him Zeke. He also has a title: The Artificial Mastermind, a self-assigned title that seems to hold up to this day, coming from his artificial birth and his unnaturally high intelligence. The title “The Horizon Walker” also seems to be his, coming from the nature of his Plane Shifting Ability and the Plane he travels to being called “The Horizon”. He also is the Leader of the Interceptors Division of BLADE.
| Age : 19 (Start)
Undetermined (End of BLADE’s story)
| Race : Ezekiel is a Salvator, a designer child. He is considered one of the children of the “Messiah”. He is a human who underwent genetic modifications during their developmental phase. In a sense, Salvators are high-quality Überhumans, making them extremely rare.
| Origin : He was born a Salvator; A designer baby linked to The “Messiah”. He is a Designer Baby made by the Babel Corporation as an experiment, a human genetically modified during his development process. At his nineteenth year, he was sent by Landius Harcourt to supervise and spy on the group of mercenaries known as BLADE and report their activities regularly.
| Family : Ezekiel is a designer baby, and so he doesn’t have any parents or Family.
| Alignment and Goals : Ezekiel seems to be more in the Neutral Alignment, more Lawful than anything else, although the line between all neutrals is one blur, and it depends on the moment. Although he might be Neutral, his goal is definitely on the good sides of things: Take over The Babel Corporation and help the people of The Nibiru Alliance to live more peacefully. Yet his moral compass doesn’t make him hate the act of killing, since he does believe that everyone cannot be saved, and that the greater good comes first, inherently making him a sort of evil.
| Personality : Ezekiel is a confrontational young adult, but still is overall organised and cool-headed when he needs to be. Serious at times, he acts quite differently than others, his humour is dark if not nonexistent, and his slight sociopathy and sadism often make him appear rude to new people and will often be rude to even those he knows, yet his past with Babel made him more recluded than anything, twined with the previously mentioned sociopathy make him extremely unfriendly. His curiosity and overall attitude also tends to just contradict with others, which may make him seem rude when he doesn’t care enough to act according to what people are. He knows that people don’t always have an easy time talking about their pasts and so he will prefer to not ask about people’s stories unless he is really curious, and even then he will try to keep it as short as possible. Ezekiel is often polite and well-spoken but he almost always has an answer to insults and knows when to have a sharp tongue. His wits are sharp and he always seeks knowledge that was restricted by the Babel Corporation, asking around to learn more and more. Yet he tends to assume things when information is lacking, which may result in people taking him for an idiot, when really he just doesn’t care enough.
| Appearance |
| Eyes : His irises are naturally a deep amethyst-like purple, piercing and filled with excitement but still apparently relaxed.
| Hair : His hair is a silvery tone of grey, so pale it was almost white. It was purely natural; as unusual as it may sound. A lock of hair would be, normally, always covering his right temple and hiding most of his eye, but never covering it totally. It would, at all times, remain visible from a particular angle of view. A second lock, shorter than the first, would cover the center of his forehead and sometimes the right side of his nose, as it depends on his head’s positionment. A last lock of hair would be laying on his left eye and would mostly cover it, but his eyes always let out a soft hue, and so it still pierced through his thin silvery hair. For the rear, his hair is quite long, landing beneath his knees. However, it is always braided, and it then only reaches up to behind his legs.
| Body Shape and Scars : Ezekiel is the owner of a vessel made out of an athletic frame standing at 5’11 and weighing approximately 175lbs, his growth not completely finished, pretty much like a well-built young adult. His arms are strong but slightly thin, showing off signs of training. His legs are also muscular and thin, and it’s pretty much the same things with all of his body. His right eye is marked by a pale pink lightning-shaped scar originating from his first fight with Landius, which resulted in The Lord of White shield bashing him in the face twice. Another scar surrounds his neck, a result of an altercation Ezekiel doesn’t talk about much.
| Clothing : Ezekiel is an organised person, his clothes seem to go along with his past with the higher-ups in The Babel Corporation, especially Landius. The most notable part of his appearance is his coat. It is white with the borders golden, the coat ends just above the male’s ankles, letting his shoes be shown. At his left side, a weirdly shaped object rests, black and white colouring the metal while two white lights glow faintly on a circle in the middle of the front side and on a rectangular end facing forwards. The sleeves are long, with the parts covering the wrists contrasting with the rest of the white clothing piece by being coloured of black. The collar is low due to it being folded onto his shoulders and it seems to turn into a hood behind the neck. The front is also folded outwards, showing his shirt. A purple sleeveless shirt covers most of the other shirt, six grey buttons placed on his abdomen. Underneath the purple clothing, he wears a clean white dress shirt, with a collar covering his neck scar. The front end of the shirt is visible due to it being longer than the purple shirt. He also wears a black tie, passing underneath the sleeveless clothing. Zeke wears pure white trousers, ending with a paler gold border than those on his coat. The front ankles also show a golden diamond shape, simply for aesthetic reasons. His shoes are white dress shoes, the bottom of the heels and the toes are protected by thin plates of a resistant metallic alloy created by Ezekiel himself. The tip of his foot is coloured of the same colour than the end of his trousers. Diamond-shaped amethysts are kept on the top of his feet by a strip of gold.
| Weapons |
| Enhancer: Zeta |
A one of a kind sword, created as an experiment by the Babel Corporation, an attempt at creating a new category of weaponry for its military. This sword is a prototype to a new style of armament, one that combines some of the most high-end technology with a simple concept; An Arcus System turned into a weapon. Arcus Systems are already quite proficient by themselves, but combined with a weapon, It can make for a destructive combination. The sword was given to the Salvator as a way of testing it out in real conditions, the one who gave it to him is Landius Harcourt, current Leader of the Babel Corporation. Ezekiel, while in the care of the Babel Corporation, had learned many things, like swordsmanship and how to use a myriad of different technologies. When he heard that they needed a tester for the new prototype armament, he proposed himself and apparently got selected, and soon enough was sent to investigate on BLADE as a spy of Landius.
The sword in itself is pretty regular in terms of appearance, a grey blade with a black mark streaking across the blade. A bandage is wrapped around the blade only to reveal a black blade with grey markings closer to the handle. The guard is of a silvery steel, apparently many bars of metal bent to create a viable guard. The grip is black, yet is wrapped by white strips of bandages, as to increase the grip one could have on the handle, reducing the risks of the weapon slipping out during a swing. A normal sword in appearance, if you don’t care about its 90 centimeters length. It is a perfectly balanced sword, great length and width, but it still is unique, due to the most important factor: The ARCUS system. usually take the form of flip phones or smartphones, but through multiple experiments and unsuccessful prototypes, the highest scientists in Babel managed to create a new type of weaponry, one able to use it as a power source. This sword can be used as an ARCUS System or as a Sword, but can of course combine both.
The Sword contains Eight Voltia; Adamantine Shield, Chrono Break, Chrono Burst, Soul Blur, Demonic Scythe, Dark Matter, Crescent Mirror and Phantom Phobia. A ninth emplacement is present, but it apparently doesn’t host anything significant as of now. Ezekiel can use the arts on both himself or on the weapons, for example, the Space Voltia Art “Dark Matter”’s gravitational singularity can either be Ezekiel or the sword itself, which would make for an almost guaranteed hit. If the sword is damaged, Ezekiel must either contact Babel to get it fixed or use a functionality of the sword called “Ethereal Absorption, making the blade self-repair while consuming Zeke’s energy. Triggers can also be used as boosts, Currently, Ezekiel owns two custom Triggers, Kogetsu and Senku and the Grasshopper trigger. His two custom triggers are abilities affecting his sword, one allows a constant flow of ethereal energy to rotate around the blade like a chainsaw, allowing for better sharpness and easier deflection of ranged projectiles and other swords in a sword clash. The second comes from many hours studying with scientifics to counter other users of aether. It creates a coating made from nether that when entering the bloodstream of any living thing using aether, it will start creating a barrier within the energical stream of the person, causing pressure to form within the limb or body part until it bursts or stops working from the accumulated pressure. The only way to dissolve this barrier is by using strong enough Ether to pierce through it, most likely without causing any harm. Although, there is another effect to it, when enough of it infiltrates the bloodstream, a small amount of it will start to wither the muscle tissues and bones of the victim, only able to be washed away with powerful Voltia Arts or with immeasurable amounts of positive energy. For nineteen years, he was trained alongside some fighters in Babel, and he was close to completing a complete arsenal of sword techniques using trigger-enhanced attacks, for example, using Kogetsu and Senku to extend the sword’s range, trying to aim for a blind spot.
| Arma Nirvana |
DEUS_7711 Arma Nirvana or Arma Nirvana for short are six diamond-shaped drones, each measuring around 15 centimeters. Made as ancient relics on the planet of Filgaia, they are unique items, only able to be used by a handful of people, called Gene Drivers. The drones are owned by Ezekiel, and are his best ally in long range. Ezekiel has complete control over them due to being both a Gene Driver and a Salvator, granting him almost unrivaled mastery over technology. The Arma Nirvana are both tools and weapons, working due to having Artificial Intelligence installed into them to make them work without Ezekiel’s direct intervention. Although, Arma Nirvana’s drones still act under Ezekiel’s unconscious and conscious will, reacting to sways in his mind automatically. Through an intricate mechanism of Ether and mysterious technology, the drones are able to fly without sound.
Arma Nirvana’s main ability is transmitting Ezekiel’s mutation on a larger range but on a smaller or larger scale and with much more precision. It allows, through the channelling of Ether to either act as retransmitters for sound-based combat due to the incredibly powerful amplifiers found to the sides of them to accentuate by almost a hundredfold the range of a regular sound. If it has enough energy, however, it will be able to recreate a much stronger ability: Molecular Vibration. The Arma Nirvana will cause molecules to vibrate at such high speeds that they will turn into incredibly hot plasma, able to be shot in linear lines or in precise ways. The Arma Nirvana drones are made from a mysterious material, having a melting point that isn’t yet quantified.
If enough Ether is channeled to the drones, they will be able to create ether defenses with a maximum size of 70 centimeters. These defenses, when all six drones use it coordinately, can easily protect Ezekiel from most attacks, covering for his entire body. This ability is basically a more advanced Grasshopper Trigger, since those defenses will not vanish after a simple hit.
| Mutation |
The mutation he has is Vibration Control, allowing him to manipulate elements of nature like sound and in general anything that vibrates. Ezekiel can easily use this ability to make a beating heart burst by amplifying the strength of the vibrations it produces. Ezekiel can also use his triggers to create deadly situations. For Example, with Grasshopper, he could intercept an enemy attack and since it would create a vibration through the weapon to the weapon arm, he could make the entire thing burst. It also allows for light manipulation by changing the vibration of the electromagnetic waves. That allows for perspective control, by modifying the luminous environment that is perceived, or simply using the ambient sound to disturb the internal ear of someone, making them feel dizzy and disoriented. Zeke may also know how to use echolocation by manipulating slight vibrations in the air, and if there isn’t any, he may produce them by his own footsteps or by producing high-pitched noises. If he desires to, he can amplify the sound of his footsteps within a limited space that will expand if released, using the Grasshopper trigger Platforms, he can create an enclosed space that cages both his opponent and himself with the vibration bomb. If Ezekiel doesn't create a barrier of vibrations around him that will push the vibrations produced by the bomb aside, leaving him unscathed by the attack, he will be caught in the range of his own attack and suffer the same fate as his opponent. Ezekiel is in no way immune to his own mutation, he is in fact more sensitive to vibrations than most, so sound attacks will often hurt him more than it hurts his opponent. This weakness to sound-based attacks can be diminuished by creating a space around his ears that can filter sound,raising, lowering or even erasing the sound, making him able to overcome this weakness. His sensitivity also applies to his sense of touch in a negative and positive way, as he will be more or less sensible to temperature, but this also can be lightened if he so wishes. This sensitivity also allows him to sense vibrations in the air, like unnatural movement and such.
| Innate Abilities |
| Genius-level Intellect: The title “The Artificial Mastermind” didn’t come from nowhere, his intellect is incredible, possibly even more impressive than Realians. His memory is also nothing to laugh at, a quasi-perfect photographic memory made him able to graduate with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Bormeo, alongside extensive knowledge on Biological and Software engineering, and other fields as well. Although his intelligence is great, his overall lack of interest in certain instances cause him to seem dumber than he is, yet his accomplishments prove that he isn’t completely retarded.
