Adrian Mariner is the main protagonist of To the End of the World. He is a Nephilim who is blessed by the Goddess of the Void, Yam, and the son of the previous Saint, Richard Mariner, and the Lord of Pride, Lucifer. Originally, he lived an ordinary life and believed that his mother had left them when they were younger after their father died. However, an encounter with Satsuki Adashino drastically changed his life forever, altering the course of his future and dragging him into a large scale conflict greater than anything he could have ever imagined.
After his enrollment into Eden Academy, Adrian began piecing together the mystery behind his parents' deaths, culminating into the revelation of why his mother had vanished. Determined to find her and avenge his parents, Adrian soon began involving himself in more events, eventually meeting with and clashing with the leader of Goetia, Samael, in a bid to avenge his father and get justice for his mother. However, it ended in defeat. Following this event, Adrian would become involved in the war against Goetia in his second year with Claire Silvers, his younger sister, and Satsuki to defeat Goetia.

Appearance[]
Initially, Adrian was a young man with an average build, standing at a little over 183 cm in height. Thanks to his angelic heritage, it was hard for him to maintain fat as it was always rapidly metabolized and he rarely got sick. He has shaggy, messy brown hair that has been likened to a bird's nest and no matter how many times he fixes it, it somehow always ends up slightly messy. There is an ahoge (idiot hair) on his head. He inherited his father's eye color, having deep green eyes. When using his powers, his eyes turn red and gain a cross-like design around the pupil. After training to get into the academy and being subject to various cases, Adrian's body became more muscular, being tone and lean rather than bulky.
His wardrobe consists of simple clothing with his younger sister saying he lacks a fashion sense. He wears a white shirt underneath a navy blue hoodie with blue pants. Initially, this was his noticeable clothing even after the incident with Yam. As he progressed, he began wearing the Eden Academy Uniform, which consists of a white button-up shirt, a black tie, and blue and gold blazer with dark blue slacks. In combat, he opts to wear a reinforced version of his track clothes. He wears a black base layered shirt over a slim dark blue hoodie. Above it, there is a silver double breasted jacket and a pair of black combat pants with boots.
Though he hides it noticeably well, Adrian's Angelic features often come out when he is flustered or in battle. His wings are similar in design to his mother's with the exception that his are smaller and lesser in number. Initially, he only had one pair of black wings with a curved talon on top but later as he progresses, he ends up growing five more pairs, signifying his status as Lucifer's son. As a Nephilim, Adrian also possesses a halo. In his Partial Sefirah Form, Adrian's hair turns white and he gains an asymmetrical pair of black horns. His eyes also turn into a shade of ice blue and he gains a single black draconic wing. Parts of his body are then covered in a black carapace. In his true Sefirah Form, he resembles a pure white humanoid being with a single pair of wings, a stocky tail, a pair of curved horns, and a massive golden halo above his head.
Personality[]
According to Uriel and Natalia, Adrian is an earnest yet eccentric individual. He is noted as having a rather dark sense of humor and due to his actions, he comes off as someone who likes to regularly mess with others. Adrian is blunt and honest to a fault to the point where even his rival, Hatsuki, calls him tactless. He has no sense of direction and has to rely on others as to not get lost. In addition, Adrian is horrible with money and often spends whatever he earns at his part time job on his interests, leading him to constantly rely on his younger sister for money to buy food afterward.
Despite his initial sloppy front, Adrian can be quite responsible. After their mother's disappearance and prior to them being taken in by Uriel, he worked hard so that his sister wouldn't have to live in such a deplorable state and at one point, worked full time before Uriel made him focus on school. He is reluctant on receiving help, especially from his aunt, seeing it as just pity. And despite not liking to admit it, he resembles his mother in personality more than he would like. Adrian is driven to the point of breaking himself over even the simplest goal. So, even though he puts up a lazy and disinterested front, Adrian does have his pride and is willing to work hard at anything that catches his interest or requires his full attention.
True to being the son of the Lord of Pride, he is headstrong and can often become overconfident in battle. Adrian appears to have a one-track mind in combat, not hesitating to show off his skills which cost him his first couple of fights due to being easily read by more skilled opponents such as Satsuki. In addition, Adrian mostly rushes into fights without any plan or sense of self-preservation, making him both equally dangerous and also incredibly predictable. His reasoning for this was that he wanted to catch people off guard by his rather unorthodox way of approaching situations, which ends up backfiring on him horrifically. Natalia mentions that this is her brother's way of inflating his own ego due to him being poor at taking criticism. Though, Adrian has gotten better, being able to accept pointers from others after being horrendously humiliated in a spar by his aunt. Even when he was cocky, Adrian has shown that he is crafty and lacks a sense of honor or values in a fight, resorting to clever and dirty tricks to gain the upper hand which is not limited to the use of perversion on women as that is how he gained the brief upper hand on Satsuki.
After he and his sister were seemingly abandoned by their mother following the death of their father, Adrian began to hold feelings of resentment toward her. He refused to have anything to do with his angelic heritage, despite pushing from his sister and aunt. He was determined to live a life away from anything that had to do with Angels and Demons, stating that the only thing it did was get them killed. Even after being dragged into Eden, Adrian was still hesitant, due to both the trauma of watchng his father die and his mother disappearing. Despite this, he was able to push through but not for the sake of wanting to be there. He used wanting to see his mother and state that he no longer needed her as his motivation. As time passed, Adrian became more curious about the reason and cause behind why his family was attacked, eventually leading him to discover why his mother had disappeared. This led him to have a loss of purpose as his initial sole reason was built no nothing but a foundation of lies. However, after a bout with Samael, he refocused himself and dedicated his efforts to stop Goetia in order to protect his friends and his sister.
Due to his nonchalant, blasé personality, Adrian often butts heads with Satsuki Adashino, the girl who was responsible for dragging him back into the supernatural. The two often clash on how he should act or even the most mundane things. Due to their interactions and Hatsuki's originally off-putting personality, the two are often misunderstood and seen as a couple, citing belligerent sexual tension between them. Even though they started off as hostile and continue to clash, their relationship is more akin to vitriolic best friends with Adrian making himself being Satsuki's only perceived equal.
History[]
Childhood[]
Adrian Mariner was born as the eldest son of the Saint, Richard Mariner, and the Lord of Pride, Lucifer, being born as a fruit of their years long blossoming relationship on April 13, 1998. His mother, having taken a step back from her position as the Chief of Gehenna, spoiled him as a child while his father showered him with love. He lived a fairly normal childhood. In 2000, his younger sister, Natalia, was born. On his sixth birthday, Goetia attacked, hoping to kill the Saint and claim his son to raise as a new weapon of war in their revolution against the Union and the other Pantheons of the world. Richard held them off, using the Longinus Spear to severely wound both Samael and Tartarus in single combat while his mother took them and fled. The last thing he and his sister witnessed before his mother teleported was the sight of his father giving them one last look before being beheaded by Samael.
Lucifer's Disappearance[]
After fleeing with her children, Lucifer tried her best to give them some semblance of what they used to have. However, Adrian continuously sought his father for the sake of his younger sister and often got into petty conflict with his mother. Eventually, his mother snapped, striking her son for the first time. Such an event left Adrian slightly traumatized, more so on his mother's expression of terror and regret afterward. Their relationship had been slightly strained as Adrian grew to fear his mother after the incident, unknowingly breaking her heart with guilt in the process. To this end, at a young age, he sought to protect his younger sister from anyone including their mother.
Two years following the incident, Adrian and Natalia would be left by Lucifer in Uriel's care at her house in Oregon where she was staying at the time. Adrian was the one who saw his mother out and was promised that she would return within a week. However, days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. In desperation, Adrian ran away from his aunt's house in order to search for his mother, who had seemingly disappeared from their lives without warning. Believing that his actions had been the reason she had left them, Adrian spent almost an entire day, desperately searching for Lucifer. In the end, he was retrieved by a frantic Uriel, who managed to get him to come home and calm him down. In the years that followed, Adrian, whose vow to protect his younger sister still remained, slowly repressed the guilt he felt and fostered feelings of bitterness and resentment toward his mother. Unlike his younger sister, Adrian chose to repress and ignore his angelic heritage, refusing to have anything to do with the Union or anything pertaining to the supernatural.
Yam's Cult and the First Encounters[]
In his junior year of high school, Lamplight came under the attack of Yam's cult, who had successfully found a method to break the Judecca Tabris Rex. Adrian was caught in the middle and accidentally revealed his angelic heritage by unknowingly summoning Qemetiel to kill one of the cultists. In the end, he was captured and taken to an altar in the middle of a baseball field in the city where he was strapped to a center of the magic circle. Intended to be used as a sacrifice due to his blood relation to Lucifer, Adrian was saved by Satsuki Adashino, who had been sent her with the task to exerminate the Yam Cultists.
In the ensuing battle, Adrian was fatally wounded and his blood managed to stain the key that prevented Yam from manifesting in the physical world. As a result, Adrian was dragged into a soul space where he met the Goddess of the Void. Whether it be gratitude or amusement, Yam decided to save Adrian and form a Covenant with him, restoring him to full health. As a result, their connection allowed Yam to shatter the seals binding her and allowed her to enter the physical world after five centuries. Rather than take him with her, Yam left but was later subdued by Uriel due to her weakened state. While this happened, Adrian was confronted and drawn into a fight against Satsuki, who believed that he had released Yam on purpose. Their battle was ultimately stopped by Uriel, who prevented Satsuki from dealing another yet fatal wound on Adrian.
After sorting things out, Adrian received an apology from Satsuki out of shame before she left. Due to the attack on the town and the clear and present danger it posed to his only remaining family, Adrian asked his aunt if he could enroll into Eden at the start of the next semester. After Uriel accepted, Adrian underwent half a year of brutal preparation under Uriel's tutelage. Following that period of time, Adrian managed to get enrolled into Eden Academy where he would later meet one of the many international students and who would later become a close friend, Claire Silvers.

Attack Potency: Small Building Level (Defeated the Test Golem), higher with Miracles (Feeding the Multitude allows him to create a barrage of attacks that broke through Satsuki's Talisman barriers when none of his prior attacks could), even higher in Berserk Sefirah Form (Easily stomped the entire Student Council, the most promising and powerful cadets in Eden, including the Student Council President Tyler Smith, and was able to leave a small scratch on Uriel's cheek) | Building Level, higher with Miracles (Can fight roughly on par with base Satsuki in matches.

Fought War alongside Satsuki, pushing her even when War was utilizing her Apotheosis, which unleashes the full force of her abilities)

Stamina: Superhuman (Thanks to his stubborn pride and willpower, Adrian is capable of fighting for days on end without resting. With his divine energy acting as a secondary source of stamina, casting powerful miracles is not an issue for him. Even when severely injured from his fight, he would continue fighting on as if he had a full night's rest without backing or faltering, causing his foes to be impressed by insane tenacity. A prime example of this was when he fought Samael immediately after his fight with Annalise Gremory. During that fight Samael's Power of God was unleashed and he inhaled a large amount of toxic gas. Despite this, he continued on fighting as if nothing happened even as his body was breaking down and suffering from intense physical and spiritual agony. When Satsuki defected and he went after her, the only way he stopped fighting was when Satsuki physically knocked him out due to the fact that he wouldn't back down after receiving what would normally be multiple fatal wounds from her attacks)
Range: Extended Melee Range, Tens of Meters with Miracles, Power of God, and Covenant. Interdimensional with Pathways
Weaknesses: His main one is his Pride. As the son of Lucifer, Adrian suffers from excessive pride, causing him to rush into fights without planning or analyzing the situation. In addition, prior to learning to control his emotions and bettering his own personality, Adrian was emotionally unstable, allowing his opponents to take advantage of his excessive pride and need to prove himself to a mother that was never there and capitalize upon it in battle. This led him to losing many fights in horrendously humilating fashions. His sister, which proved to be the anchor of his rationale, was targeted by members of the Student Council out of prejudice and paranoia for his Sponsor with some members being jealous of his relation to Uriel. Doing so causes him to lose all semblance of logic and reason, causing him to go into a blind rage and causing him to access an unstable version of his Sefirah Form. While he did get better in managing his emotions, Adrian still suffers from that prideful streak from time to time but now it is negligible as he managed to stabilize himself. Abilities wise, he possesses all the standard weaknesses of angels such as their susceptibility to divine metals and other supernatural beings. His Sefirah Form, initially, caused him to fly into a berserk rage that cannot be controlled and his Apotheosis causes severe side effects to its user, including but not limited to: coma, severe nausea, internal organ damage, hemmorrhage, and even death if he stays in it for a prolonged period of time. While he has managed to offset some of these side-effects, using it still poses a clear and present danger to his body. While he will not die, Adrian can suffer from intense fatigue and excruciating agony as a result of using it.
Abilities and Equipment[]
Overall Ability[]
Initially weak, unskilled, and brutish, Adrian had the strength of a nephilim but that never helped him against superior opponents. Despite this, he was persistent with it being his overall trait in addition to his pride, forming an unwavering will to continue on. Coupled with the natural advantages provided to him as a nephilim, Adrian had all the makings of a natural born fighter with only his laziness and lack of will to motivate him forward. In addition, his growth rate was rapid, with a strong natural aptitude for combat that was inherited from both his parents. His skill with blades is natural, being able to proficiently use a sword for the first time despite Uriel calling his style as unrefined. Due to his natural talent for swords, Adrian was able to pick up the Yod Style of the Tetragrammaton rather easily.
After officially being enrolled in Eden, Adrian was subjected to multiple clashes with students and with monsters, all due to the incompetence of some of the staff or due to jealousy of his relationship to Uriel. Nevertheless, he managed to prevail, using a combination of his rather unorthodox methods and his natural inborn talents. He survived the Entrance Exam, defeating and disposing of multiple golem simulations of various supernatural creatures thanks to Uriel's teaching and his own survival instinct. His intelligence, while it may be called limited by other characters, is rather impressive, having an ability to learn fast. He was able to decipher and replicate Miracles used by Claire in the Entrance Exam after only seeing them once.
As he progressed, the challenges and hardships he faced eventually refined his combat prowess enough to the point where he could fight against Satsuki Adashino on relatively equal terms, catching her off-guard during the Inter-Class Tournament proposed by the school. Following the tournament with Goetia's attack in an attempt to claim Lucifer's son for their own, Adrian was still able to challenge Samael to a fight, pushing her to utilize Endless to incapacitate him even when his fatigue was pronounced and the injuries he suffered in his match with Satsuki still present. Following his recovery, he underwent training with his Aunt in order, further sharpening his combat skills and being able to use Shekinah (Lit. All Things within Creation) in order to further boost his own physical capabilities.
Indomitable Will: As a product of his inherited stubborn pride, Adrian possesses an intense, insatiable drive to move forward. He is incapable of comprehending the phrases "Give up" or "Back Down". Even when he was continuously humiliated in spars against Satsuki during their initial and subsequent meetings during their first year, he continued to come back and challenge her. His intense spirit and willpower allows him to ignore virtually all semblances of pain and keep fighting despite wounds he suffered against Samael, despite having been inflicted with numerous normally debilitating wounds as well as being attacked by Samael's Malak Maschit.
Keen Intellect: While not academically gifted and painfully average, Adrian possesses a sharp wit and intuition. Though he lacks the patience for menial and long-term tasks such as research and study, he makes up for this for his almost eidetic memory as he is capable of memorizing and processing large amounts of information. Adrian also has a knack for analyzing and discerning patterns, an ability that has granted him an advantage in battle numerous times. He can perceive and avoid large amounts of straight projectiles easily, while also being able to move and avoid swarms of erratically moving attacks. Initially, Adrian would run into situations without much of a strategy or plan, mostly relying on overpowering his enemies with brute strength or overpowering magical power. However, over time, he learned to employ clever tricks by learning from his friends and mentors. He also became far more clever in combat, moving from over-relying on his strength and employing tactics such as emitting bright flashes of light to momentarily blind his opponent, using Yam Soph to partially make his sword fade from existence to pass through defenses, or attacking in what would normally be described as a dishonorable or perverted manner.
Physical Abilities[]
Enhanced Senses: Nephilim are born with senses that are far sharper and more refined than any human being and even some superatural entities. Adrian has enhanced eyesight, smell, taste, and hearing. He is capable of pinpointing objects from a long distance with pinpoint accuracy, as well as being able to detect scents that are normally not detected by humans. He mentions that he cannot tolerate overtly sweet food due to the taste being too overpowering for him.
- Shekhinah: Shekhinah is a perceptive state and technique achieved by those who have mastered the Tetragrammaton. It is a state where the user can perceive everything around them in extreme and minute detail, with Uriel stating it as the ability to scan everything in Creation. Shekhinah involves the use of completely seeing the entirety of the being before someone. In combat, it is described as being able to witness the soul, discerning momentary fluctuations in the person's thought process and intent to be able to predict their next action. Satsuki describes it as being similar to her clan's Getsumei Sekai (月明世界 Getsumei Sekai Lit. Moonlit World).
Immense Strength: Though having had naturally greater strength due to being a Nephilim, following his brief six month training with Uriel to apply for Eden, Adrian gained tremendous physical strength. During the Entrance Exam, Adrian was able to shatter a golem to pieces with a single punch, shocking the preceptors administrating the exam due to the golem being made of magically reinforced dwarven steel from the Norse Pantheon. Normally, it would take someone from the Third Year to break it or a student that has been deemed a hero candidate. After getting into the school, Adrian never stopped tempering himself, eventually being able to produce sword swings that can slice through an entire building in a single swing and uproot and slicing multiple trees within a small forest grove in a single swing. Later, he was able to inflict a wound on Samael and then slice through Tartarus's tendrils.
Immense Speed and Reflexes: Possessing already high speed and reflexes due to his supernatural heritage, Adrian was able to move and react to things faster than most of his peers even prior to entering the Entrance Exam to Eden Academy. His training with Uriel allowed him to keep pace with his fellow classmates, allowing him to avoid attacks whose speeds were compared to the fastest human firearms with great ease. At his strongest state at the time, he narrowly avoided a laser beam from the Norse Test Golem, albeit barely and he suffered range of burns in the process. Over the course of his schooling, he was able to react to and move faster than his supposedly skilled classmates, even avoiding five high-speed blitz attacks from Satsuki and later even the blistering, sound shattering attacks of Student Council President, Tyler Smith. Following his training with his aunt, Maria, in the Intermediary Period and gaining his initial access to Shekhinah, Adrian became even faster and was later down the line, being able to react to an attack that was able to span the entire distance of the continental US in a second.
Supernatural Abilities[]
Immense Divinity: A natural birth right that he possesses. Due to being the son of the Fallen Archangel, Lucifer, Adrian possesses naturally potent divine abilities. When he was younger, he lacked proper control over his angelic powers and thus, was prone to creating accidental disasters around him ranging from small mishaps to large scale weather phenomena that ended in large amounts of property damage across an entire county. However, it is noted that his angelic powers are darker in nature due to his mother's status as one of the Seven Demon Kings. Because of the danger it presented to everyone around him, Lucifer had to place a seal on his angelic abilities to prevent him from losing control and possibly destroy an entire state in the process.
In the present age, the divine energy within his body has only grown that much more powerful and potent. Though he was initially overjoyed and confident due to the massive amount of energy he possessed, that joy quickly soured as he found that it was offset by a lack of proper control. However, over time, his control over his own abilities improved dramatically to the point where he can make pinpoint attacks by focusing his divine energy into finely tuned blasts of energy. Unlike most exorcists, as a nephilim, Adrian can rely on his divine powers in order to perform Miracles whereas they require Faith in order to power their's. In addition, this tremendous amount of divine power grants him an immense life-force that can stave off virtually all ailments and illnesses, even resisting the potent miasma of Samael's Power of God though he did need extensive healing later on. Later on, it becomes strong enough to hold of Kuroha's Raimei Shinden from sheer force alone.
- Qemetiel: Qemetiel is a Miracle that is classified as a Power of God. It is unique to the Archangel Lucifer prior to her Ascension. The Miracle is inborn and a part of their being, thus was capable of being inherited by her children. Dubbed as the Flames of Gehennna, it is among the Miracles that boast the greatest destructive power, equalled by only Uriel's Lahat Cherev and surpassed possibly by the Netsiv Melakh. Initially, Adrian did not have the will nor the constitute to summon and use this Miracle, however, later, he was able to use it. Qemetiel is a Miracle that generates and controls a black (initially white) flame-like energy that sears, consumes, and completely annihilates all creation, having the capability to erase souls, matter, and virtually any material until nothing remains. It is rumored to be able to permanently kill Ancient Gods. The concepts that this Miracle draw upon are from the Law of Genesis itself, representing the concepts of Armageddon and The World's Finality. True to its fearsome properties, it cannot be extinguished by conventional means and must be sealed or erased.
- Light Manipulation: As per his angelic heritage, Adrian can naturally control light. It is an inborn ability and instinctive, not requiring him to master or train with it initially. Higher levels of control required him to properly dissociate himself from the instinct, describing it as having the ability to move a muscle independently from one's own body. He can create barriers and projectiles.
- Healing Factor: Angel Hybrids possess an enhanced regenerative factor which allows them to withstand what would normally be mortal trauma to humans. Adrian, in particular, possesses stronger regenerative capabilities than most thanks to who his mother is. He mentions that he has never broken a bone despite falling from trees when he was younger and the minor wounds he suffered during the attack from Yam's cult vanished within a matter of minutes.
- Holy Aura Projection: Nephilim can project holy energy from their bodies to create a field that can empower their allies and debilitate his enemies. It is more effective against impure creatures and monsters of darkness. Angels and other Divine Entities are more resistant to this field.
Wings: Nephilim possess wings which denote the exact amount of power they have in their body. In particular, the amount and the color of these wings determine the exact potency of their divinity. Adrian possesses jet black wings that fade to red at the tertiary feathers and even at two wings, the size and color of his wings showed the large amount of divine energy being generated by his body. In addition to traditional flight, Angelic Wings can be used for a variety of purposes that include but are not limited to:
- Steel Feathers: Adrian has the ability to harden his feathers. This ability was learned from Uriel, who demonstrated the capability to use her wings as extra limbs and her feathers as weapons in combat. Like his aunt, Adrian can use them as additional blades, parrying even legendary swords with his wings and shooting his feathers as deadly high-speed objects that possess enough penetrative power to puncture Blessed Steel with great ease.
- Prehensile Wings: Adrian can utilize his wings as an extra set of limbs, which grants him immense dexterity in combat. While incapable of grabbing anything with them, the wings with their razor sharp steel feathers can be used in tandem with his swordsmanship to slice foes to pieces in a rapid and brutal fashion.
- Blinking: Blinking is an Angelic Ability that allows the user to utilize their wings to teleport. Primarily, it is used in short distance teleporation, however, it can be used in interdimensional travel and travel across vast distances. Speed varies between users and Adrian has trained himself exhaustively to become proficient enough in blinking that he can appear in multiple spots at once via teleportation. However, those spots are only short distances within the user's visual sphere.
Miracles: Miracles are a form of semantic magic practiced by Heaven that involves manipulating strings of concepts in order to create and control phenomena around them. Though this usually requires faith to perform for Exorcists, thanks to his angelic heritage, Adrian can use his divine energy as a substitute. He displays a natural inborn talent for them, being able to replicate and cast a Miracle after having only witnessed it once. Though, due to his personality, his talent in them can only take him so far as he prefers melee combat to magic casting. Despite this, he has added a considerable amount of Miracles to his repertoire.
- Feeding the Multitude: A Miracle that is evoked from Matthew 14:13-21 where Jesus feeds 5000 individuals by duplicating fish and loaves of bread. It allows the user to replicate and increase the number of whatever they have on hand, whether it be an object or magic. Adrian primarily uses this on ammunition, making it so that he never runs out of it. He also invokes it during attacks, making it so that one attack becomes multiple, allowing him to pepper an opponent with a relentless barrage of gunfire or magic. This Miracle can go in tandem with other Miracles.
- The 7th Plague: The Seventh Plague is a Miracle and one of the Ten Plagues of Egypt. It allows the user to generate a storm of fire, hail, and lightning which can be used as projectiles. The trifecta of elemental attacks is noted to have high penetrating power, piercing even through the five layered defenses of Satsuki's Metal Phase: Golden Wall of Heaven talisman. By using Feeding the Multitude, Adrian can further amplify its powers and the amount produced, allowing him to cause mass devastation to a large area.
- Divine Armor: A Miracle that creates a conceptual holy barrier against the user. It is evoked from the passage Ephesians 6:12-17, utilizing the concept of "Steadfast" and "Firm" in order to withstand attacks. Most notably, it grants its user an overall resistance against physical and magical trauma, repelling anything that falls under "violent" and "dark forces" of the world. Due to this, the user also becomes resistant to the abilities of demonic or dark entities. It can be projected over a larger area to defend against large scale attacks. Users can also discern the intent of anything entering the barrier as it is a barrier made of pure holy intent.
- Healing Miracle: A minor healing miracle. It allows Adrian to heal wounds that his regeneration is incapable of healing. It has the effect to purify conventional poisons and some supernatural toxins.
Sefirah Form: Sefirah Form is a form that can be utilized by Angels and anyone of Angelic Heritage and is considered to be the opposite of the Qliphoth Form. This is form is said to unleash an Angel's innate abilities by removing the instinctive natural limiters on their bodies. It enhances their strength, speed, durability, divine power, and regenerative capabilities. Initially, Adrian was only able to access an incomplete version of this form in a berserk rage after seeing Tyler harm his sister by accident. Even an incomplete version allowed him to completely overpower the entirety of the Student Council and almost kill the Student Council President and required him to be subdued by Sigrun. However, after extensive training, Adrian managed to gain control of the form later on, allowing him to match Samael in her base form in an almost blow for blow manner after being supplanted with buffs from Claire.
Covenant[]
Yam Soph: Yam Soph is the Authority of Yam and the Covnenant granted to Adrian upon her release as a gesture of gratitude. Yam Soph is an Authority rooted in the concept of "Void" and "Nihility" with Uriel describing it as the Depths of the Abyss described in the Genesis of the Bible. It allows its wielder to summon a viscuous black and red fluid like substance that can be manipulated to their liking such as being shaped into various objects such as weapons and barriers. Adrian can also project it as a dark energy that coats his weapon. Its effects are similar to Lucifer's Qemetiel, however, rather than burning and annihilating matter and soul, Yam Soph's ability centers more on the dissolution of its targets into nothingness, representing the erasure and breakdown of the world back into the formless chaos of the begining. In addition, it has the capability to manipulate Space as Space falls within the realm of "Void", granting him an additional set of abilities. In a sense, it is far more potent than Qemetiel as it can target intangible things such as the Root of a God's concepts, completely eradicating it. At its full capability, it is capable of destroying an entire domain and reverting it to nothingness and is capable of killing an Ancient God. Aside from its sheer destructive capabilities, Yam Soph can be used in a defensive manner, utilizing its erasure capabilities to defend against attacks and also cross vast distances by tearing holes in space and erasing distance between two locations.
- Idea Manifestation: Idea Manifestation is a technique utilized by Yam and taught to Adrian. It involves summoning the idea of whatever was once erased by Yam Soph, allowing Adrian to summon objects and attacks in order for him to use. The first time he utilized this was during his battle against the Student Council Vice President, Ihwa Lee, replicating her whip sword perfectly. However, he is incapable of summoning phantasms of entities he has slain unlike Yam, who is capable of producing a Sea of Life to summon replicas.
- Pathway: Pathway is a defensive-transportation hybrid technique that warps space to create vortexes and portals. These portals can be used for utility or defense, allowing the user to travel vast distances or redirect and relocate long-range attacks. Though, Adrian can only go to places he has good memory of or has been to.
Apotheosis: Black Knight: Black Knight is Adrian's Apotheosis, which he achieved after intense brutal training from Yam. It grants him full access to her Authority, making his Covenant all the more powerful. In essence, for a short amount of time, Adrian is elevated to Godhood and can wield Yam's Authority on the same level as that of a God. In addition, it provides him power a thousand times greater than what he could achieve in his Sefirah Form. However, the form has severe side effects that get worse the longer Adrian stays in it, with the worst he suffered being near-death and being bed-ridden for a week. Due to Yam's own naturally powerful divine energy, not even his status as Lucifer's son, was able to stave off such side effects. Yet, over time and with training, he managed to mitigate the side-effects by supplanting himself with divine energy to power the form.
- Perfected Apotheosis: Apollyon: An improved version of his Apotheosis which involves utilizing it with his Sefirah Form. It combines the Power of God he inherited from his mother with the Covenant he gained from Yam. It is Adrian's strongest and most powerful form and can contend with extremely powerful deities. Its raw power output was so great that Uriel commented that he could probably match her evenly and can force Samael to access her Sefirah Form. With his improved control over his divine energy and that of Yam's Stigma, he is able to achieve greater heights than he could initially in his other transformations.
Fighting Style[]
Tetragrammaton: Tetragrammaton is the martial art of Heaven and is split into four styles. It was developed by Elohim during her time spent fighting as Ba'al's lieutenant during the Canaanite Civil War. It is split into 4 forms: Yod, Heh, Vah, and Heh II. The main feature of this style is its adaptibility and its ability to evolve alongside the user during a fight. In addition, the overall fighting style blends the use of melee combat and Miracle casting in order to further bolster the fighter's strength, speed, and reaction time. Adrian, in particular, excels at using the Yod Form of Tetragrammaton, which primarily emphasizes swordplay and employs the use of brute strength attacks and killing intent to strengthen the fighter's blows. Because of this, the wielder is capable of overpowering most defenses erected against them with ease and its strongest technique: Endless, is said to be able to sever space and time.
- Bara: Meaning "Order". It is one of the most basic techniques of Yod. The user concentrates their murderous intent into the blade and unleashes it into a singular powerful slash.
- Ruach: Meaning "Wind". The user holds their sword in a double handed reverse grip. They channel divine energy into their lower extremities in order to build up a large amount of tension before shooting forward at immense speeds. The user then jumps and performs a double slash with the final arc being a powerful downward crescent imbued with the user's built up momentum.
- Raqia: Meaning "Firmament". The user holds their sword back and focuses an intense amount of divine energy into the tip before performing an immensely powerful thrust that can penetrate most barriers. This can be supplemented with Miracles in order to add elemental effects and further bolster power. Adrian adds the Miracles, Feeding the Multitude and Seventh Plague into the blade, drastically amplifying its penetrating power with an intense amount of elemental energy.
- Raqia - Heavenfall: Raqia - Heavenfall is a uniquely flavored technique of the Yod created by Adrian. It involves using the Seventh Plague Miracle alongside Qemetiel. The user creates several sharp projectiles made of ice then coats them in the black energy of Qemetiel. He then imbues both into his sword before thrusting it forward in a single powerful charge that is powerful enough to completely vaporize a mountain from the sheer energy released
- Aathiel: Aathiel is Adrian's own version of Endless. After failing to attain the technique, Adrian developed his own version based on the principles that go into it. He projects Divine Armor outward, rotating and spreading the cuboids in order to create a false space within reality filled with holy energy. That space then causes the world to go into a greyscale, breaking space-time down as if a false vacuum decay were occuring. The user then unleashes several high-speed slashes that are imbued with the user's murderous intent. It is said that the primal instinct to kill must be heightened to the max in order for this and Endless to be pulled off. These slashes then cut through space, leaving several slicing rifts that multiply into more slashes within the space that rip the target apart regardless of their durability.
Equipment[]
Crimson Birch: Crimson Birch is a sword gifted to Adrian by Uriel upon his admission into Eden Academy. It is a holy sword forged in Heaven at her request with his specifications in mind. It possesses all the traits of a holy sword, being able to release large amounts of divine aura. Initially, it lacked concrete abilities with it only serving to as a medium for Adrian to focus his Covenant and several miracles into. However, later, it showed that the weapon had ability to shift its form to different weapons. According to Uriel, Crimson Birch has at seven different forms, all of which Adrian has yet to discover completely. However, of all its forms, Adrian has utilized the dual blades and the straight sword most frequently. Later, it demonstrated the ability to be able to evolve and self-modify by absorbing energy from the entities slain by it. This energy imparts some of the traits from whatever it slays, granting them its a semblance of whatever abilities it had before.
Modified Beretta M9s: Pistols that Uriel kept for when either Adrian or Natalia came of age. It was inherited by Adrian after he decided to enroll in Eden Academy. These pistols have been modified to fit 0.45 ACP specialized rounds designed to target and harm supernatural entities. The material that make up the pistols have been repeatedly and heavily enhanced with runework from the Nords and the blessed by members of the Church. It is Adrian's most cherished weapon after Crimson Birch as they are the last remnants Adrian has of his father.
Divine Key - Da'at: Adrian wielded this weapon temporarily in order to fight Tartaros. It allows him to access and use his mother's Law without receiving a Covenant from her. However, the potency of the Law was lesser than what could be achieved by his mother. Despite this, it allowed him to defeat and push the Primordial God back, severely damaging him in the process. This Key was later sealed away by Ereshkigal and given back to Lucifer after she returned. It is slated to be inherited by Adrian according to her but feels that he is not strong enough to handle its full power.
Fruit of Knowledge: Fruit of Knowledge is a smart-phone like device that students receive upon joining the union. It allows for communication across different realms and is powered by magical energy. It also allows them to call for Warp Gates at any given time in order to travel to different locations or to and from school.
Trivia and Character Notes[]
- The face claim used for him is Tatsumi from Akame ga Kill!
- Similar to his prior incarnations, Adrian is the son of Lucifer and the strongest Exorcist of the Church. Though, he was hopelessly clueless about the true identities of his parents, chalking it up to being a common human-angel romance.
- He has a preference for swords, taking after his mother in that aspect.
- After entering Eden, Adrian has expressed an interest in guns, stating that he would like to replicate several gun-fu techniques in order to "look cool".
- Adrian refuses to utilize a katana, calling his interest in anime and his combat style as completely separate. However, he would like to point out that his interest in using guns and swords as a combo was inspired by Dante from Devil May Cry.
- His favorite bands are One Ok Rock and Green Day, citing Boulevard of Broken Dreams was a song written about his life. His sister believes this is just a product of his delusions.

- His primary inspiration for being a non-antagonistic Anti-Christ figure stems from both Jack Kline from Supernatural, Adam Young from Good Omens, and Rin Okumura from Blue Exorcist.
- His personality was mostly inspired by Ryo Yamada from Bocchi the Rock, using several of her quirks such as her loner-like personality and lack of spending awareness. In addition, his relationship with Satsuki can mirror that of Ryo's relationship to Nijika.
- This current iteration of Adrian also takes cues from some of Crimson's other stuff on another wiki, including a similarity in fighting style as well as their relationships with deities.
