History Characters / ArknMythosTheAlterverse

* CoolGun: His Colt Peacemaker: the original revolver of Edgar "Death" Kharon, [[ForgedByTheGods forged by the Hethe themselves]].

* CoolGun: While we've never seen it, he still possesses the [[ForgedByTheGods Hethe-forged]] Colt Peacemaker he carried as a member of the Fearful Four.

* NiceHat: He occasionally sports a rather nice top hat. It's another hint about his ties to [[spoiler: the Carver (and De’ebo, by extension)]].

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Allegedly, he [[{{Squick}} sexually assaulted]] [[UpToEleven several]] ''[[UpToEleven infants]]''.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Most of the Arknza share their names with Angels (and other figures of importance) from Christian lore: Uriel Alexander Winter, Raphael Tobit Kestler, Raziel Gabriel Holden, Azrael Michaelis Winter, and Raguel Ishmael Ahab Elm.

* WhatAnIdiot: Go to the location of multiple murders with a guy who knows an absurd amount of detail about the serial killer responsible for said murders, ''and'' looks and sounds just like him? Sounds like a great idea! Hey, just for good measure, why don't you insult the creepy guy to his face? Repeatedly?

[[folder: King Ellpagg]]
!!Ellepagi Xeth'i'stral

The King of Arkaissa, former Prince of Elysium, and former Arkn Knight of Battle, Time, Madness, and Beetles (and self-proclaimed "God of Beetles"). Ellpagg is the eldest child (and only son) of King Uriel. He was destined to become the Third King of Elysium. After agreeing to negotiate a surrender with The Carver, he ends up imprisoned in the Infernous, where he suffers countless eternities of torture. The experience strips him of his Arkn traits, while granting him tremendous power beyond the scope of any Arkn.

* AGodAmI:

* DealWithTheDevil: He's implied to have made a deal with The Carver, likely on the say

* SoulFragment: He possesses a shard of The Carver's soul (which, according to WordOfGod, instilled in him his murderous skills and abilities and essentially helped him become "a perfect killer"). Said shard is transferred into the vessel of Luke Anton on May 15th, allowing Carver to enter .Reality.

The former Second King of Elysia, King of Battle, and Commander of the Golden Army, Uriel is the son of King Gilgamesh and the father of Ellpagg and Seraphina. During his reign, he was a fair ruler, much beloved and respected by his subjects. However, after his Council condemned his son to be imprisoned in the Infernous, he turned against them and beheaded one of the Arkn Lords. Imprisoned for his crimes, he escaped and hurled himself into one of the .Reality cores, generating countless human copies of himself across the timelines of .Reality. After a period of self-imposed exile in the Infernous, he escapes to Timeline B to find his human counterpart, Alex Winter.

Uriel is the first Arknza and Paradox Player, described in the prophecy as "born of a line fit to rule as Kings".

* SoulJar: After his death, he b

!!Uriel Alexander Winter, né Uri'el Gilga'mesh

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Their power may stem from Hethian blood, but the Arknza are all good, heroic individuals.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Well, normal by [[BroughtDownToBadass Arkn standards]]. After the Hethe depart from the universe, the Arknza are deprived of the power of their Hethian blood, leaving them as ordinary, mortal Arkn (i.e. winged humans with incredibly long lifespans and a few supernatural abilities).
* TheChosenMany: While there are a number of Arkn who possess Hethe blood (and thus technically qualify as Arknza), only seven Arknza are mentioned by the prophecy (and only seven emerge, as far as we know).
* EarnYourHappyEnding: While Azrael's knowledge prevents many of the disasters of Universe A, everything plays out the same up until shortly after the birth of Uriel; as such, the death of King Gilgamesh, the Inquisition, and the Watcher's incident still happen, and most of the Arknza still have lives filled with loss and heartbreak. Even after they come together, they have the constantly threat of failure the battle against The Carver constantly looming over them before [[spoiler: they succeed in defeathing against The Carver]].
** Uriel, Ambriel, and Raguel grow up without their real parents.
** Raphael is raised by an [[AbusiveParents abusive]], [[FantasticRacism racist]] father (who constantly informs him and watches the fall (and punishment) of his brother and close friend. In the end, he is able to leave
* FusionDance: Averted: while most of the Arknza of Universe A merged their physical essence with that of a Hethe-blooded human "counterpart" (leaving the human and Arkn personalities to [[TwoBeingsOneBody share a single body]]), the Arknza of ''Eternal'' are able to avoid this; with Azrael's knowledge, they don't need a human counterpart, and are able to "unlock" their divine blood (and power) on their own accord.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: All of the Arknza just want to be able to live their own lives, free of the responsibility of being the "chosen ones". [[spoiler: They get their wish after the Hethe depart from the universe, taking with them their divine power -- allowing the Arknza to live normal, mortal lives of their own choosing.]]
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: While they don't face nearly as many hardships as their Universe A counterparts, they're still burdened with the duty of being the chosen ones; and many of them still undergo plenty of heartache as a result of their status.
* MortalityEnsues: After Deebo and the rest of the Hethe leave the universe (due to [[spoiler: the death of their only vessel, The Carver]]), the Arknza -- along with the rest of the Arkn -- are rendered mortal.
* RagtagBandOfMisfits: The Paradox Players are initially a team of four demi-gods, consisting of a general/king, a cynical knight-turned-medic, a pacifist wizard, and a burned-out, time traveling [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot space cowboy-grim reaper]]. By the end, the quartet includes a hot-headed WarriorPrince
* TrueCompanions: The Paradox Players. They train and fight alongside each other as friends and BloodBrothers for ''centuries'' (possibly eons) while preparing to face off against The Carver. Once Ellpagg is born, he is welcomed into the quartet as well -- and eventually takes Azrael's place. [[spoiler: uniting in battle and defeating the Carver]].

''For tropes related to him, see his folder under [[Characters/TheArknverseDekn Dekn]].''

* ActionDad: He's the head of the Golden Army and one of the finest warriors of the Arkn -- and ultimately helps [[spoiler:take down The Carver himself in battle]].
* BadassFamily: Is the head of one.
* BigBeautifulMan: He, like his father, is great in both size and beauty.
* DadTheVeteran: Like his Universe A counterpart, he's a seasoned veteran of the second Arkn-Dekn War by the time
Ellpagg is "conceived".
* EarnYourHappyEnding: He grows up without a father, and then (after possibly learning that that same father was a lying, hypocritical scumbag) has to live with the threat of failure looming over his head for years. One of his oldest and dearest friends is killed in the Infernous...and then
* TheGoodKing: He's considered the greatest king ever to rule the Arkn, and is much beloved and respected by his subjects.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Though he is a military commander, his personal moral code prohibits him from "slaying a brother", even an immoral one. Even knowing The Carver's plan and what's at stake, he still refuses to kill The Carver in the Infernous when the opportunity arises; he changes his mind when the Arkn Council He only breaks said code after Azrael tells him (However, he still refuses to kill The Carver in the Infernous when the opportunity arises; he only truly changes his mind when (as Azrael foretold) the Council asks Ellpagg to go in his place -- and Azrael has to sacrifice himself to save Ellpagg.
* TrulySingleParent: To Ellpagg and Seraphina. (Though [[spoiler: The Carver]] had a hand in their creation.)

[[folder: Raphael]]
!!Raph'ael

Raphael is the second Arknza and Paradox Player, described in the prophecy as the Arknangel "born to wars and beings".

* VeteranInstructor: To Ellpagg during the Second War.
* MagicKnight: While he is renowned for his exceptional fighting skills, Raphael also possesses powerful, innate magick (due in part to his Hethian blood). His specialty is HealingMagic.

[[folder: Raziel]]
!!Ruhah'zehee'el

* EarnYourHappyEnding: He endures the murder of his family, the destruction of the magick college, his own disgrace, and being forced to partake in the hunt for the Nephilim and the punishment of his apprentice. In the end, he helps defeat the cause of his suffering, and helps his granddaughter rule the re-built Paradisium before ''finally'' passing away.

[[folder: Azrael Michaelis]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Azrael started hearing the Arkn and Dekn at a young age (as did his brother), making him fear that he was going crazy. His parents and sister were murdered in front of him by an unknown killer when he was only nine years old[[note]] [=Type0Negative=] never definitively decided who was responsible for their deaths[[/note]] — on the same day his brother was shot dead by his own Guardian Arkn. After a lifetime in foster care, he tried to build a stable life for himself, reclaiming his family name and starting therapy; just when it seemed he had a shot at happiness, Xerex showed up, hijacked his life, and (allegedly) killed the guy he loved — before killing Michaelis himself, and forcing him into a situation where they became bound together. Then his mentor, Ellpagg, locked him up in a tower on the edge of existence (after giving him someone else’s memories and nearly destroying his original identity), leaving him to watch all of history unfold in isolation. And after all that, when he's ''finally'' allowed out on his own, he was forced to witness the failure of the fellowship of the Arknza -- while knowing that it was partially his fault. The latter part is ultimately what inspires him to try to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong alter history for the better]].
* HeroicSacrifice: When the time arrives for Ellpagg to go into The Infernous (the afterlife/prison dimension of the Dekn) -- an act which will inevitably lead to Ellpagg losing his sanity and becoming DrunkOnPower (and a pawn of [[spoiler: The Carver]]) -- Azrael offers to take. To seal the deal, he gives Ellpagg his Hethian blood (and power) before he departs, rendering himself powerless.
* KilledOffForReal: He ultimately dies in The Infernous, in a brutal fight [[spoiler: with The Carver]] (during which he isn't even ''armed'').
* SpannerInTheWorks: Becomes this to The Carver, uniting the Arknza ahead of time and helping them master their powers (sans mucking around with human counterparts) -- before taking Ellpagg's place in the Infernous (thus depriving The Carver of his greatest pawn).

[[folder: King Ellpagg]]
!!Ellepagi Xeth'i'stral

The Arkn Knight of Battle, Time, Madness, and Beetles. Ellpagg is the eldest child (and only son) of King Uriel.

----
* TheGoodKing: While he doesn't quite match up to his father Uriel, he is nevertheless a good and just ruler who is beloved by his subjects.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's a well-trained knight, and spends years fighting in the war against the Dekn.

[[folder: The Carver]]
!!Hash'bor'kanibal
* TheChessmaster: He plots to get revenge on the Hethe by creating the Arknangels who will defeat him, the battle that will bring about his defeat, and the prophecy that "foretells" said battle -- all in a bid to [[spoiler: be raised as a god himself and gain the power to create a new universe where the Hethe are powerless]]. He doesn't count on a version of [[SpannerInTheWorks Azrael]] from an AlternateUniverse showing up and bringing the Arknza ahead of time, securing the friendships between them and enabling them to [[spoiler: become powerful enough to defeat him]].

[[folder: Deebo]]
!!De'ebo

* VillainExitStageLeft: Departs from the universe after [[spoiler: The Carver is killed by the Arknangels]]. The rest quickly follow suit.
