Lore
- Durandal God-Weapon Academy
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.
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.
"C'mon, Ezreal! You've been talking about your ultimate move for weeks!"
"Yeah, let us see it already!"
"Well, I do hate to keep an audience in suspence. All right, I just finished naming it, so get ready!"
"The endless night can be pierced only by the justice in our hearts! Lay bare the truth of our world and embrace an eternal reckoning! CRIMSON COBALT!"
"It's super cool, right? ...right?" ( )
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.
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.
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.
"What? You want me to lead the Assassin Club? What happened to the club president? I see. And the vice president? Oh that sounds just tragic. Well, if you're that desperate, how can I say no?"
After years in the shadows, Katarina was the first club president to make assassins practice in broad daylight. After all, what good was pulling off a great assassination if there was nobody to see it happen? ( )
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.
"B-but we're not supposed to use our power between classes..."
"You're right, but we can't just let them carry on. Guess I'm about to get in a heap of trouble."
"Not listening, huh? Well then this is for your own good. LUCENT SINGULARITY!"
"Oh, you name your moves too? Have you met Ezreal? You might like him."
"Pick on someone your own size!" - Lux
Nobody at Durandal Academy had quite seen anything like it. Such power, without a weapon to channel it? The professors forbade discussion, but of course, rumors spread...
( , , )
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.
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.
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.
"You're new here, Caitlyn, so let me catch you up. Nobody here cares about your weapon or your good grades. Turn your nose up all you like, but if you come in here assuming this school works like your last, it's gonna eat you alive."
- Corina
"I'd like to repay your sentiment, Corina, so let me 'catch you up.' My rifle does not define me, and neither does this school. A leader - a General - shapes everything around them, not the other way around." ( )
'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.
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.
Leona had hoped Labrys Academy would prove a worthy challenge, where she would learn and grow as a valiant protector, even amonst the unruly student body. Her hopes were met early, often and to her frequent dismay, unexpectedly.
"Overreacting? Preposterous. You called this a food FIGHT. Ready yourselves accordingly, or fall!"
( )
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.
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.
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.
Unknown Academy*
"Seems to me like you got a little more weapon there than you can handle."
"Huh? Oh, this isn't mine, I'm just--"
"Good, so you won't mind if we take it, then!"
"Oh! Like a practice battle? I love training!"
"Hey, come back! I thought you wanted to fight!" ( )
