Vamprite Lycanes
Before Aegra existed, there was another world in its place. A world filled with life of all types in this world, lived a being known as Vamprite Lycanes. No one truly knows who he is, or where he came from, but anyone who met him, saw pure evil in him. He was a well spoken man, very well mannered and extremely intelligent. On his back, he carried a massive, double-edged blade, many people knew him just by that sword, others knew him by his piercing ice blue eyes.
Vamprite had used his powers of foresight many times throughout his life and no one would have ever believed what his ultimate plan was. Upon marrying a Sex Demoness, he seemed to settle down finally. The warrior had calmed down, or so it seemed. Vamprite Lycanes was at the final few steps of his master plan. He knew full well that he could never have children, and any that he did would be born horribly deformed and would die within a week. He never told anyone this, not even his pregnant wife. When she delivered a child on the brink of death, she cried for his help, but Vamprite only pushed her aside and killed the child himself. The newborn's blood sank into the ground and Vamprite used his own mastery over darkness to guide the blood down to hell, in an area he had determined over a thousand years before.
Throughout this world, Vamprite was respected, honored and often times worshiped. He had been offered royalty, but did not take it. Offered concubines, but did not take them. Many would call him modest, others suspicious. His wife had mysteriously died during labor, as did his child, neither body was recovered, and he was never questioned. He was too respected and feared for anyone to question him.
Five years later, the minions of hell had begun attacking Old Aegra(as it is now known). The Council of Devils had planned an attack and did not hesitate to put it into motion. Using mindless demons, they wanted to take down Old Aegra, coming one step closer to defeating the Council of Gods. Vamprite stood before the forces and drove them off, six powerful humans were at his aid, hand selected by him, only they did not know this. During the battle, humans from all over the world joined in and drove the demons back into Hell. In Heaven, the angels and Gods had watched and knew they could not ignore this any longer. Thus six angels were sent to contact Vamprite, giving him word that they would bring an army of angels at his aid if he lead the attack on Hell, to once and for all rid the universe of the Council of Devils.
Vamprite's counter-proposal was a shock to thousands. He agreed, but under the terms that six demons of his choice could lead the new Council of Devils. The current council was corrupt, and in the end, the council was pointless, for only one of the demons was truly leading it, thus, the angels agreed.
Vamprite had the three general races in his hands now. Humans, Angels and Demons. A massive army of powerful humans, dedicated angels and rebelled demons followed him into Hell, where the largest battle in history was fought, and the largest massacre. Amidst the fighting, Vamprite had vanished, no one noticed, and one by one, his own militia was defeated. In the Gulch of Thorns, thousands of angels, millions of humans and countless demons suffered death, torture and abandonment. The entire gulch was filled with bodies, a lake of black blood, the mixture of various colors from the breeds of beings. Vamprite, had set the entire world up. His final goal was achieved. He cleansed Old Aegra of humans, weakened Heaven's forces and set the stepping stones for disorder, betrayal and rebellion in Hell.
The Council of Devils and Council of Gods had one last choice. They obliterated Aegra and never again was there a war between good and evil. There was nothing to corrupt, and nothing to protect.
The Child of Black Blood
Five years had passed since the massacre at the Gulch of Thorns. Bodies were finally finishing to decompose, and the black blood seemed like it was finally drying up. Though even in five years, that was a lot of liquid. In truth, the blood was gathering, deep in the center of the lake, there was a special being, sent to Hell ten years ago. What people never understood was Vamprite's true power. The ability to steal the powers of any being through death. This was the only power, the only thing at all he passed on to his son, whom had absorbed every drop of blood in that lake. Vamprite's limit was, that he could only take an ability once a year. Though his child had no limit. And within a year's time, the spawn of Vamprite's evil had become the hybrid of every type of human, angel and demon ever to exist. From Elf, Seraphim, even Incubus. The creature was a little of everything.
The baby demon's cries rang out, by this time, the Gulch of Thorns had been abandoned, no one wanted to live anywhere near the place but the poorer end of Hell's society. Among this end, were two Succubi lovers. The lesbians were banished from their rival clans for refusing to feed from males. From riches to rags, the women had nothing. When they heard the cries of a child in the bottom of the lake, together they pushed through over a thousand skeletons and found a black fleshed demon. The baby demon had four yellow eyes and four tiny wings on his back. His skin was hard, but warm, and the air around him was insanely cold. They took him as their own.
Dawning the name Aries upon him, Fuga and Alexandria Villanite raised the child as their own, teaching him how to fight, live and even seduce.
