Lore

Durandal God-Weapon Academy

• Battle Academia Akshan
  Durandal's latest transfer student has made quite a splash in the Battle Club. Underhanded opponents have quickly discovered that Akshan will throw himself into the fray to give his clubmates the upper hand and win the day. His moral compass makes this daredevil a welcome advocate for the rest of the 2nd years. The good looks don't hurt, either.
• Battle Academia Ezreal
  A young orphan initially thought devoid of any superhuman abilities, Ezreal had resigned himself to a normal life once he graduated middle school. But an encounter with a deadly threat awakened his slumbering potential, and now he finds himself a 1st year at the prestigious Durandal God-Weapon Academy, where he's joined the ragtag Battle Club.
  • 
    
• Battle Professor Graves
  Chromas: Formal, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Turquoise
  Graves is a salty ex-soldier who served in the Durandal military before he reluctantly became a professor. Following his discovery of something deep behind enemy lines, he received an offer to teach at the Academy from the God-Weapon itself. His hallmark cigar-munching, dispassionate teaching etiquette is a small price to pay for his decades of experience.
• Battle Academia Jayce
  Chromas: Emerald, Formal, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Turquoise
  A prestigious 2nd year whose face is known throughout the wider city of Durandal, Jayce is the class president, head of the world-renowned Luminary Club, and prodigious inventor of miraculous Jayce-branded technologies. He hopes his inventions will prevent the kind of tragedy that struck him in his youth, though he refuses to speak about what that was.
• Battle Academia Katarina
  Chromas: Citrine, Formal, Obsidian, Pearl, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Turquoise
  Katarina is a rough-edged loner who stays far away from the politics of Durandal Academy. A 2nd year student with a chip on her shoulder, she is also a top member of the Assassin Club—the only club on campus allowed to kill opponents in school-sanctioned duels. Few other students ever dare approach her.
  • 
    
• Battle Academia Lux
  A 1st year at the Durandal God-Weapon Academy, Lux maintains an upbeat attitude no matter the odds. Despite her freshman position in the Sorcery Club, Lux wields a tremendous amount of magical power that even the Academy's senior staff can't quite explain.
  • 
    
  • Battle Academia Lux Prestige Edition
    Now in her second year at Durandal Academy, Lux has been hardened by the harrowing trials, losses, and betrayals that punctuated her freshman experience. Following the climactic clash with a certain Rogue God-Weapon, Lux has mastered her powers and risen to take her place as head of the Sorcery Club, as well as the new class president.
• Battle Principal Yuumi
  Chromas: Citrine, Formal, Granite, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
  Following the disappearance of two principals, Yuumi has stepped in as the acting head of Durandal Academy until either individual can be found and re-instated. As a powerful channeler of magic, she uses the academic registry book as a focus object to generate apocalyptic levels of energy… often while perched on a terrified student's head.

Labrys God-Weapon Academy

• Battle Academia Caitlyn
  Chromas: Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire
  A feared and respected second year, head of the Luminary Club, and class president of Labrys God-Weapon Academy. Caitlyn enrolled herself in the famously troubled school specifically to whip the delinquents there into prime fighting shape, hoping to one day become the greatest battlefield general in history. With her perfect record, she's not too far off.
  • 
    
• Battle Academia Garen
  Chromas: Citrine, Emerald, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sandstone, Sapphire, Turquoise
  'Brother' to Lux, Garen is the only biological child of his family, but was neglected from an early age as his parents spent all their time developing the god-weapon fragment that would one day become their daughter. As he vented his anger in increasingly delinquent ways, Labrys sought him out for enrollment, where he eventually joined the Battle Club.
• Battle Academia Leona
  Chromas: Citrine, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
  An oddly cheery member of Labrys Academy's Battle Club, Leona's dark side comes out in combat, when her motherly, protective persona is utterly replaced by bloodlust. The change is so dramatic that even the most violent students tend to stay on her good side, hoping to avoid her wrath.
  • 
    
  • Battle Academia Leona Prestige Edition
    After being selected for the yearly cross-academy tournament, Leona sharpened her combat prowess almost every free moment she had, knowing she had to beat out other top-ranking students from rival schools like Durandal, Babylon, Amrita, and Sharur. Her bloodlust now honed and her shield at the ready, she will pummel anyone who challenges her into a meaty pulp.
• Battle Academia Wukong
  Chromas: Catseye, Emerald, Meteorite, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire
  A consummate troublemaker and prankster, Wukong has failed out of every high school in the region, eventually washing out into Labrys as an 'enrollment of last resort'. A naturally gifted fighter in the Battle Club, he still hasn't learned discipline, and only listens to Caitlyn because she can beat him up.
• Battle Academia Yone
  Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Ruby, Sapphire
  Yone is a brooding, quiet member of the Assassin Club, one whose morose and serious attitude belies the colossal chip on his shoulder. The bad blood between him and his brother is well known, and even speaking about it casually has been known to invoke Yone's fury—something Caitlyn has picked up on for her own purposes.
