Welcome to Gaia! ::

Orion, in the Earth year of 192 AD. A young boy - out in the cold in the middle of nowhere - was like a toddler in a twelve year-old's body, standing at only 4'8". He didn't learn how to communicate very well for a week and a half or so, but even then, the townsfolk from a nearby village always seemed frightened of him when he approached them for food. Because of this, he often had to resort to stealing it.

He was wearing half-destroyed battle armor, stained in dirt at some points. Part of a torn black cape was still attached to his back, and it dragged on the ground when he walked. To fix this, he folded it around his neck like a scarf. At one point, he met a young girl, who befriended him, fed him, and offered him shelter in her home. She told him that he looked a little like the General Tybron Wesley, but figured that they couldn't be the same person, as they weren't that similar.

This girl's name was Lauren Dean, and she simply referred to the lost boy as 'Boy'. Lauren fitted him with more suitable clothing: an old tan-colored tank top with baggy pants, and sandals. Lauren helped teach him anything she could for about a month, before the worst occurred. A group of mercenary soldiers attacked the village, apparently looking for someone. They were attacking and sometimes killing the people that told them to leave them in peace, and eventually started trying to break into Lauren's house as well. She and the boy barricaded the door and hid in the closet.

Unfortunately, the men set the building on fire, and smoke began filling the room. Loose boards from the ceiling fell, knocking the boy unconscious. When he awakened, Lauren was left in his arms, cold and unmoving; she'd suffocated from the smoke. At the time, the boy didn't know why only he was 'awake'. Angry and confused, the boy felt a rush of power, his eyes glowing brightly as he turned and kicked through the wall of the closet, meeting burning debris from an adjacent building. Ignoring the burns, he plowed through it, clutching the dead girl's body in his arms and running through the gauntlet of smoking rubble.

Exiting the rubble into a nearby pub, the boy saw a few soldiers drinking. Without a thought, he dropped the girl and attacked them bare-handed, easily defeating them. He began asking questions to one of them. The only answer he could get out of him before he died was that they were sent by 'Master Wesley'. Eventually calming, the strange powers vanishing as well, the boy could almost recall that name. Thinking more on it, he soon remembered that this name was Taliman Wesley, his brother.

Primitively burying his friend Lauren, the distraught boy suited himself in the armor of one of the soldiers, wrapping his cape scarf around his neck and heading for the Tonepian Black Force Headquarters. Three months after his 'rebirth', he arrived at the castle, tired and worn out from his journey.

Oddly enough, all of the soldiers and servants inside saluted him as he passed, something he didn't understand. Near the top of the tower, he found the crimson-haired Taliman. Oddly enough, this man greeted the boy with open arms, though quickly realized something was wrong. He tried to ask what the problem was, but the boy was still angry that he sent those soldiers to attack and kill his friend. He asked that Taliman apologize, and drop this crusade, which only seemed to anger the red-haired fox demon. Tali insulted Lauren, and the boy himself for caring about her.

Angered even more, the boy recklessly attacked his brother, who swatted him like a fly, snapping his arm and watching him scurry away. Taliman seemed to be angry still, but concerned. Nearly ten months passed while the boy healed in seclusion, training his fighting ability for a rematch against his stronger brother. At this time, the boy's energy signature was around 400, but he managed control over his ki, and began training it. He began referring to himself in third person as the Fierce Deity, and wore his old cape and a blood red headband over his eyes, to mask his appearance.

For nearly three centuries, he trained and ran across the continent of Tonep, thwarting village raids and mercenary missions as the powerful hero, saving numerous countries and earning celebrity status in the process. He did good by the people, which is why the warrant for his capture went ignored. During his training, Deity learned that by harnessing his anger, or so he thought, his power would increase. He eventually learned to grow angry when he battled, and that usually heightened his power.

Taliman eventually collected a group of his best men, hunting down his brother in an attempt to catch Deity himself. They eventually met in the Deyue mountain range for a showdown. He had improved greatly, now at a powerful 18,550 in ki strength. Atop a towering mesa, Deity defeated fifteen of Taliman's men, leaving them alive for his own reasons. When the two brothers did battle, Tali beat him like a rag doll, his power a staggering 213,000. At one point he stole Deity's sword Hayahanekon, and slashed him across the face, cutting him open across the bridge of his nose.

Downed and bloodied, the small boy was defeated. Deity hasn't memory of what he said, but Tali said something before it happened. A thick black fog enveloped the young boy, followed by excruciating pain. His eyesight became dark and red, and the pain soon subsided. His clothes had mystically changed to tight leather attire, he'd grown a tail, his hair was red and the scleras of his eyes were black. For some reason, he couldn't control his movement, but could feel and see what was going on. It's as if he was being possessed. What happened next was like a nightmare, in which the awakened devil inside Deity mauled his brother, taking anything Tali dished out, and acting as though it was a flea-bite.

The fight ended with a charged red explosion of energy, intended to blow Taliman away. He used his thumb and shoved it into Taliman's left eye, then fired the attack point blank range, which apparently opened up an odd tear in space, like a wormhole. Deity has always concluded that his attack was the cause of this, yet has no evidence. The portal seemed more or less magical. Taliman disappeared through the void to supposed oblivion, never to be seen again....or so Deity thought.

After the beating, Deity rampaged throughout the world of Orion, killing all in his path, no matter how much he struggled to stop. He demolished every country around the planet, including his home. He killed his eldest sister, who was babysitting at her home, and he severely injured his father, Sir Aaron Wesley III, only leaving him alive by the mistake that he was dead. At the time, he didn't know it was his family he was destroying.

A week went by. Bored with where he currently was, the unnamed demon headed for the Eunric mountains and went west, inexplicably compelled by the aura of an ancient power he felt coursing from within the canyons. Inside a small, secluded hut, he found a beautiful sorceress that resided there. While powerful, she couldn't hold a candle to this monster, and he grabbed her by her throat, lifting her off the ground. She hopelessly begged him to overcome the beast, and break free of its grip, but he ignored her pleas, tearing his hand through her chest.

Screaming out in pain and gasping for breath, the woman was clearly dying. Distraught, a powerful feeling of remorse overcame Deity, and he was able to change back, though unsure why. His form changed, and he was the weak, helpless child he was days ago. Back in his ripped and torn clothes, covered in blood, he ripped his hand from her chest and vainly tried to help her. He felt this painful feeling of nostalgia as she looked into his eyes, and he looked back into hers. After a few moments that seemed like years to the poor boy, she died lying in his arms. Mad with grief, he screamed at himself, crying outloud into the witch's shoulder. He barely knew her, and yet, he felt the most agony from her death.

Afterwards, he gave her a suitable burial in the bottom of the canyon. This traumatizing bloodletting had thankfully come to an end, but at such a cost. To this date, the Red-Headed Devil's rampage marked the highest death toll ever counted on Orion: out of the nearly seven billion beings alive at the time, three and a half billion were slaughtered. Millions of entire bloodlines were vanquished in a single week. Orion would never be the same, and neither would Deity.

Lost and scared, he gathered his things, including a sword - a sword that he never recalled finding. He fled the planet of Orion, stealing a ship and flying into space as far as he could. The mere sight of him now would bring fear of the Red-Headed Devil. After six years of stopping to rest on hundreds of planets, Deity came across one that caught his eye. Upon arriving there, he learned that the name was Earth, and also found that it was very similar to his own home. The main population was of humans, and there didn't seem to be as much hostility as on Orion, though still an uncomfortable amount.

The year was 487 AD, and he made himself at home in the cold southern area of what is now Antarctica, for he liked the climate. He spent many of his years in solitude, trying to stay away from society as much as he could. He remembered the faces; the expressions made by the victims of his terrible demonic self as he slaughtered them haunted him endlessly. Not wanting anything such as that to ever happen again, he stayed away from human contact. Deity appeared closer to sixteen or so now, just over five feet tall.

He eventually traveled all over the planet, staying away from fighting as much as he could, and learning control over his temper, which he concluded was the key to preventing that evil beast within him from arising again. For those one thousand, five hundred years, he had not aged so much as many of the Earthlings, and obviously hadn't died yet. While he first thought that he was one thousand, eight hundred and eleven years old, he began dreaming of past experiences that he couldn't remember ever happening.

After an enduring period of lonliness and depression, the secluded Orinian actually contemplated suicide. Unable to go through with it in the end, he began to pity himself. He left his home, in hopes of finding something to give meaning to his life. He was now much taller, at about 6'4" - he had his growth spurt. During his journies, he found a bar in a city further north. He decided to begin frequenting this place, as its patrons were friendly enough, and it was easy to fit in. He didn't want the fact that he was an alien to cause any fuss, so he never mentioned the fact that he was not from Earth.

Deity met some great friends at this place, which was called Le Soleil et la Lune. Many of the friends he made there were either great conversationalists or fighters. Deity was actually surprised that Earth could produce such well-trained warriors.

After just a few days, he met a young Saiya-jin girl named Jade Saewin, and they became friends quickly. Some time later, Deity found out that his brother, Taliman, had not only survived the attack so long ago, but had found his way to Earth. Deity spent as much time as he could now, training and honing his skills, especially those in concealing his ki. How was it that he still lived?

Deity eventually fell in love with his friend Jade, which came to the attention of Caine, Jade's older brother, and Taliman, who ironically became 'partners'. Deity eventually fought Caine in the tournament held there, but lost, getting second place. A short time later, worst came to worst, and Taliman challenged Deity to a battle in the ring, desperate for his revenge. During the battle, Tali was just as dominant over his sibling, who was surely nearing death once more. At the last moment, at the brink of defeat, transformed for a second time into the monster, who was now dubbed 'Demonic Fierce'.

As with last time, Fierce demolished his older brother easily, before turning on his friends in the arena. Luckily, these Earthlings were much stronger than the commoners the Red-Headed Devil faced on Orion, and the most powerful of the group - Sephiroth - alone managed to occupy Fierce long enough for Jade to devise a plan. Seph was nearly killed, and as Demonic Fierce readied the death blow, Jade latched onto his back, refusing to let go.

The young girl began crying, begging for the Orinian demon to cease, and change back into the Deity she knew and loved. Overwhlemed by this show of courage, the human Deity inside was angered by the fact that he couldn't help himself. At the time that this happened, he suddenly was knocked unconscious, and changed back into a human, Jade still clinging to his back. He eventually awoke, and gave a sincere apology to his friends, though thankful that nobody had been killed this time.

Taliman managed to escape in the confusion, and went into training. What Deity didn't expect was what Tali did when he returned. To Deity's dismay, Wesley spilled the secret of his true heritage, name, and birthplace. Deity was indeed the dreaded Tybron Wesley, the powerful mercenary of the faraway planet of Orion. The Tonepian had been trying to forget this, and now his brother exposed it. Months later, Deity began construction on a new home. In northern Canada, he found a decent spot: a vast forest. He made a clearing and went to work. It took him a few months, but he eventually finished it, naming the huge tower and stadium 'Club Orion'.

Back at the Soleil bar, Caine and Taliman actually plotted in an attempt to make Deity transform, wanting him to attack Jade. When they succeeded, their plan backfired, and he went after Caine, easily tearing through him for a few moments, before being challenged by one of Deity's friends, Shoubushi. Shou said that he would protect the others at all costs, and decided to take on Demonic Fierce alone. Fierce kicked Shou around without a thought, and was never even injured.

In some strange form of magic that wasn't clear to Deity, Shou called upon a strange being once near death. After a flash of light, he had transformed into a multi-winged holy being; an archangel. Unimpressed, Demonic Fierce seemed annoyed at the interruption. This celestial being was found to be just as strong as the red devil himself, dishing out attacks that actually hurt him. Unfortunately for him however, these blows only made the demon's strength double, and the attacks stopped affecting him.

At the end of the battle, the godly warrior threw a small energy ball with enough power to easily crush the planet. It collided with Fierce, making him crash into a wall and down onto the floor. Believing he was defeated, the holy fighter vanished, replaced with a dying Shoubushi. Fierce once again sat back up, annoyed with the distraction of the celestial, even though he was gone now. Flying through a hole in the arena's roof, he flew off into the darkness of the night.

The next day, Deity awoke amidst smoking rubble, where a city once was. In the night, he had destroyed four cities of the north, before growing bored and changing back into a human again. Though many Earthlings had died, they were lucky that he got bored before finding anymore people.

Ever since that night, Deity has againstrayed away from most battles, single-mindedly fearing that his demon form will emerge again, with more devastating results this time. Le Soleil eventually closed down, and everyone flocked to Club Orion, where most of Deity's friends currently stay. Many things have happened since.

Deity left to the planet Orion with his new Shunkido technique and searched for the ancient sword, Seinorei. While he managed to retrieve it, Taliman ultimately stole Shinorei, a sword he'd had since he could remember. Afterward, the Orion held one of a series of tournaments, which Deity did not enter. Many great fighters did, including strangers, friends, and foes.

Taliman went on to win the tournament. He then claimed that, after the second tournament, he would face his younger brother in combat. Because of this, Deity began training extensively in preparation. He knew very well that Taliman's strength far exceeded his own, but he would indulge Tali and give him the best battle he could. During his training, Deity's girlfriend Jade and he broke up, the girl leaving unannounced. Not shortly afterward, he fell into a second relationship with a mysterious young girl named Satomi. Their little affair didn't last long, but they were very close friends, and Deity would protect her with his life.

Close to a month later, he began his last relationship, with his long-time friend Michuru Raine. They actually didn't get to speak as often as they'd like, but the Tonepian was still happy with her. They too unfortunately separated, on a mutual agreement. Renovation of Club Orion began, revamping what was already there. Deity added several rooms within his tower, letting his friends stay and live with him.

It was only a short time later that Deity and Satomi left - apparently to planet Orion - on some sort of vacation. They've yet to tell anyone the meaning of their departure, but it seemed that Deity gained a great deal of strength upon his return.

It was around this time that - whenever he would sleep - Deity would be haunted by visions of his bloody past, when he transformed into his devil form. It drove him almost to the point of insomnia, his close friend Satomi helping him through the crisis. After some time, he began to believe these were more than just nightmares, but premonitions. Deity started being wary of his surroundings. He would prevent another transformation if it killed him.

Not long after these dreams occurred, a demon from Satomi's past - her uncle Idrael - returned, threatening to kill her. She seemed deathly afraid of him, so Deity intervened. He was felled in a single attack, unsuspecting of this man's magic. Satomi escaped, and spent the next two days alone with Deity in his room. She was very frightened by her uncle's sudden reappearance, and Deity was raring to exact some sort of revenge on him for threatening a loved one.

Idrael soon reappeared, amidst the company of many of Deity's friends. Idrael created a barrier around himself, his neice, and Deity. They fought briefly, before the sinister man raised an orb of magic around the Tonepian, freezing him in time. He then proceeded to torture and repeatedly attack Satomi in front of Deity's eyes. Taking what he was looking for - a pendant from Satomi - and on his way out, Idrael lowered the spell from around Deity, who immediately rushed to Satomi's aid. In his panic, his mistakeningly assumed she was dead, and was thrown into a fit of furious rage.

In his anger, he lost control of himself, and the balance between his human and demonic souls was torn. In a drawn out and painful display, the human Deity transformed into the devil Fierce, who achieved a quick and effortless victory over Idrael. The barrier around them vanished, and all present used all in their power to keep from being killed by the insane demon.

KenoTao was summoned elsewhere, while Fierce made quick work of User, Unks, Jade, and Psynobi. Taliman made a surprise entrance, rescuing the unconscious Satomi before luring Fierce away from the Orion. It was later revealed that he lured him to a city, so he could occupy himself while the others devised some sort of plan. Deity's friends all attempted to fight Fierce over the course of six days as he rampaged across the Earth. He first battled against Keno in his black tiger form, and outmatched him. He wiped out the United States military just before battling the Gambler - archangel Raziel - once more. This time, he was the unambiguous winner, doubling his strength after being wounded by Raziel.

As he destroyed a large city in China, User appeared and powered up into his Legendary Super Saiya-jin form. He too was defeated, and died of his wounds soon after the fierce battle ended. Fierce found himself somewhere in Russia, where he killed more of the Earthlings, the death toll surpassing that of half of the human population. In a miscalculation, Unks lured the devil to Southern Japan, where the area was not yet evacuated. Fierce quickly began destroying the area, before Unks attacked. He was felled in a few blows.

The strange duo of Kolt and Zero appeared soon, combining their powers for an attack, which seemed to have no effect. The fighters vanished a moment later, and - rather than follow them - Fierce went to take a nap. When he awoke, he made his way to South Korea, and quite literally blew it off the side of the map. It was entirely gone, but when the smoke cleared, it reappeared. The powerful mage Epithany had used a stasis spell, rendering any further damage done to the Earth useless.

This angered Fierce, and he did battle with the girl, who managed to hold her own for some time. The monster's speed began to prove too much for her, however, and she retreated. Annoyed that he could have no more fun as long as the stasis spells were active, Fierce decided to destroy the Earth after one last battle. For fun. He travelled to Club Orion to face the best of the best.

At the final confrontation with the Club Orion fighters, Fierce faced Satomi first. Even being so much weaker than him, her dimensional powers proved to make her a force to be reckoned with. After nearly being damaged, Fierce grew enraged and tried to kill her. She was spared by a last-second intervention by Sir Aaron, who finally revealed his full power and did battle with the creature. He seemed to be winning after a few attacks, but Fierce was only toying around. He began using his maximum strength as he fought, and beat down his father. Without a second thought, he snapped the demon's neck and left him for dead.

The devil then fought against Jade, who was also beaten very badly, sustaining broken ribs. Satomi rejoined the battle now, and resigned herself to protect Jade. She took a long beating, but still she held up, even ordering her boyfriend Taliman not to help her. Fierce grew more frustrated with Satomi, and dealt a final series of blows that rendered her broken and bloodied. Proclaiming that the Earth had lost all of its fun, he decided he would now destroy it.

Desperate, the human Deity grew overwhelmingly enraged at himself for being unable to stop this massacre. This seemed to cause Fierce pain. Because of this, Deity concluded that if he grew angry enough, he could kill himself - kill Fierce. However, rather than have his rage result in death, he knocked himself out cold, and actually regained control of his demon form for the first time. This granted him an even greater strength, though he hid it instinctively after awakening from his stupor a moment later.

Rushing to Satomi's and Jade's aid, he obviously was no longer the mindless monster he had so recently become. Nonetheless, Unks' bubbling anger spilled over, and he lashed out at the Tonepian, instantly blaming him for the whole mess. Deity backed away, unsure of what to say or do. He didn't want to, but he believed Unks' words, and saw himself as a violent weapon - a threat to his friends and himself. He turned and ran away, vanishing from the Earth without so much as a goodbye.

The approximate calculated body count of the devil's rampage is over 4 billion people; this is even greater than the loss Orion suffered over fifteen hundred years ago. If it weren't for Epithany's efforts, this number surely would have been drastically higher.

Deity spent three months hiding on his home planet of Orion, looking for answers. He searched for any surviving members of an ancient mage group, which he believed were the beings who Tybron Wesley contacted to become human. His efforts, for some time, were in vain. He wished to once again become a human, for a reason he never disclosed. He wished to commit suicide, an act quite impossible while in demon form. After following him to planet Orion with Taliman's help and seeking Deity out, Jade expressed her feelings to him, pleading that he return to Earth, where he was loved and missed.

Deity put up resistance to her request, not wishing to be around her. Jade, and any other loved one, made him a source of destruction and mayhem. He could try to avoid it, but no matter what the circumstances, he would eventually transform again; it was inevitable. Giving in, however, he agreed to return with the young girl to Earth. Before doing so, however, he continued his search. He would still wished to become human once more, and leave behind this monstrous form. While it heightens mostly every attribute of his being, he resembles his other self far too greatly. Not long after his meeting with Jade, Deity found a set of ancient magical scrolls, all in a foreign dialect of hieroglyphics, in a secluded old cabin, buried under an ancient sheet of ice.

Taking with him as many as he could, he and Jade left the planet of Orion and returned to Earth via his instantaneous movement. If Deity could translate these - with the help of his father - and use their knowledge, perhaps he could become human again, or dispatch his demon forever. However, the more he learns from these scrolls, the less likely any of this seems.
