Ethenia, a city full of promise, opportunity, and comfort. That is, if you are a Mint. If not, welcome to a life of continuous labor and discrimination, the scar you were given as a child assuring your life will never change... at least not for the better. Casper knows this tragedy all too well, although some may say he has it worse. His golden hair, a characteristic of only the Mints, and the symbol of the lowest class burned under his eye results in rejection from every group. Betrayed by his family, religion, and occasionally his mind, Casper had absolutely no choice but to take up the only job offered to him. Now he must battle his own conscience as the tasks grow harder and darker, forcing him to harm the only people who accepted him.

Now, the princess gives birth to something new, a union of light of the gods and demonic scourge. A demon, strong and powerful, cruel and awesome. A greyskin.Complete
Destiny Reckoning
AARYAN never believed in fate. Born into hardship and shaped by struggle, he clawed his way out of the dirt only to find himself trapped in an unforgiving world where the strong prey upon the weak. To survive, he relies on sharp instincts, careful calculations, and an iron will-never blind faith. Yet, when an expedition goes awry, AARYAN is thrust into a world he never sought-a world of cultivators, ruthless ambition, and forces beyond his understanding. For the first time, true power-the kind that could rewrite his fate-is within reach. Forced into a ruthless sect where deception is survival and strength is law, AARYAN is caught in a web of scheming elders, ruthless rivals, and unseen hands shaping his fate. With only his wits, a growing mastery of cultivation, and an uncanny knack for getting into (and out of) absurd situations, he must carve his own path-one not dictated by destiny. But fate is not so easily denied. Shadows of the past stir, whispers of something greater call to him, and something far older watches from the dark. In a world where the heavens dictate the fates of all, AARYAN has only one goal: to prove that his life is his to control. Even if it means standing against the very will of the heavens themselves.

Caelum has lived a life of fractured identities, hiding behind masks shaped to protect, to please, to save.
