It was supposed to be a normal mission; it was supposed to be an easy hunt.

Gad, no, at that time, he was a Vanguard Gideon. Gideon was waiting for his team members to come back as he had reached the camp first. Then he heard the painful, and horrified scream. “What was that?” Said Gideon, to his demon pal, Eins. “I think that was Olivia’s scream!” The demon pal replied, looking at the direction where it came from. Gideon became paled, “She’s supposed to be with Jackson and Tyler. Come on, Eins!” Said Gideon, and he quickly ran towards the direction. "Wait!" Said Eins, but Gideon was already running towards it, and he called out his other demon. “Zwei, I need you to go ahead.” Zwei, the bird demon that could scout ahead, was ordered in hurried manner.

The bird demon went ahead, quickly disappearing to the thick trees. Then just in few seconds, there was an explosion. “What the-?” Gideon was surprised by sudden blast, his body was frozen as his eyes saw incoming debris and such. “Gideon!” but his demon pal Eins quickly jumped between Gideon and the flying trees and debris. When Gideon opened his eyes, he was still alive. Eins, however, fall to the ground.

“NO!”

Said Gideon horrified, “Eins! Get up!” Gideon shook Eins, trying to wake his demon pal, and hoping he was alright. In few moments later, Eins smiled weakly, opening his eyes slowly, “Hey, pal… You are okay…” Then there was a stomp, ground shook as the giant silhouette of a demon came to their sight. Zwei was being swallowed by it. The demon looked at where Gideon and Eins were, “Oh my, I thought I finished you pests… You are still here…” Gideon and Eins looked at the demon, one could tell by just looking at it that this demon was out of their league. Then Eins stood up, shaking, he was still recovering from that blast. “You got to run, Gideon.” Said Eins. “No!” Said Gideon, standing up as well. “Drei!” Gideon called another demon to his side. “We are going to do this together.” Eins sighed, and gave a smile. “You are stubborn as always.” Gideon smirked, “You know my motto, Eins. As long as there’s a strength in me, I won’t give up.” Drei and Eins looked at each other, then Drei nodded. Drei flew towards the giant demon, it was causing enough nuiscence to distract the demon. Gideon started enhancing and healing his friend. When all spell was done, something opened behind Gideon, some kind of black hole. No, it was some sort of a portal and it was pulling Gideon towards its dark entrance.

“What is this!?” Gideon let out an annoying shout. It didn’t take long for Gideon to realize it was a portal made by his pal Eins. Eins smiled weakly at his human friend. “Sorry, Pal. But, I can’t let you die here.” Gideon looked at Eins, furious and upset, “What are you doing? As your summoner, I command you to stop this at once.” The giant silhouette came closer, it has dealt with Drei. The demon looked at what was happening and he was enjoying it. “Oh, look here, a demon with a heart.” Eins looked at the demon, “I won’t let you touch him!” The black portal pulled Gideon even stronger, “Eins! No! You cannot fight that thing alone!” Eins looked at Gideon, tears were flowing out, something Gideon never saw before. “Sorry, Gideon. This is where we part.” The giant monster laughed manically, “Let me help you to say your good bye easier!” Then the monster blasted dark energy to Gideon, the energy pushed Gideon into the portal, "EINS!!!!" Gideon shouted, trying to reach his pal, but he couldn't, and everything became dark.

When Gideon came to his senses, he felt his clothes was way loosened up than before. He looked around, it was a forest he had seen before, but he was not so sure. Just then he could hear the sound… sound of people. Gideon was feeling tired and worn out, however, the face of Eins flashed in his head. He told himself that he had to get up. Gideon's body stood up in desperation. He mustered all of his strength and began chasing after the sound of people. The draggy clothes of his was making it difficult for him to run, and for some reason everything looked bigger. When he finally pass through the forest, he could see the guards and wagons, the guards were checking on the entering wagons. Whatever, that was not important. He had to ask for reinforcement. He dragged himself to the guard, and when he got there, the guards looked surprised by his appearance. “Help…” Said Gideon, he did his best to shout, “My friend needs…my friend needs help…” And then he fainted.

When he woke up, he was surrounded by strangers. “Where…where am I?” Gideon asked and his body ached as he sat up to face them, one of them, a man answered his question. “You are at Chaldea, my boy. Which part are you from?” Gideon was shocked, that was a location pretty far from where his team was. And he could not help, but frowning at the man, “A boy? I am an-“ His eyes caught the glimpse of how he looked as the closed window was right in front of him. It showed reflection of 15 years old version of him. “how…?” Said Gideon, shocked. Then there was a sound of slow claps, getting the attention of all the strangers. “Come on, come on folks, the boy needs some rest.” Said the man with the white coat. He started sending out the folks outside, and when everyone was out, he came to see Gideon, smiling. “Sorry, to see young visitor coming out from the forest alone, is not something you see every day.” Gideon's hands clenched, squeezing blanket as he heard the word ‘alone’. Soon his eyes became watery and tears started to drop. “Eins…Eins...Eins…” Said Gideon repeatedly, covering his eyes, sinking his face on it. The man with the white coat sat down, and gave him a hug, patting his back gently. “There, there… it’s okay now…” and Gideon continued to mourn for his lost partner.

After all that emotional turmoil, he came to know the man was a doctor in the city. The doctor showed Gideon’s belongings, clothes were no longer his size, and his gauntlet was broken into pieces, and his mark was nowhere to be found. The only thing that survived was his double scythe. The doctor was kind enough to be his guardian, and Gideon decided to threw away his old identity and named himself as Gad, a nickname that jokingly called by his former demon partner, Eins. He also realized he could not feel his spells within him; Gad came to the conclusion that the magic threw by that demon must have done something to him.

Gad told the doctor that he wanted to be a Vanguard and wish to enter the program straight away. The doctor was not thrilled to hear that, but he let Gad do what he wanted. At the beginning of Vanguard training, Gad had the choice of choosing the path of summoner again, but he did not. Remembering how he had lost his friend, and how painful it was, he had decided to walk the path of thaumaturges.

Due to the experience he had for 3 years in the field, his combat skill was top-notch, people who looked down on him due to his young looks, and his young age per se, had to think again. His progress in training surprised everyone, earning him the right to own the mark within a year. Through out the training, Gad did not allow himself to form any meaningful relationship. Perhaps, his desire, to become strong so that he doesn’t need to be protected, imprisoned himself to the prison of his own.

Cleo was born to a seamstress on the outskirts of the city. His father, a half-blood Incubus, was a born heartbreaker, never satisfied with a single woman for more than a week or two. A behavior made far worse by his innate demon charms.

Whether or not Cleo was willingly conceived is a secret that his mother will most likely take to her grave, but regardless of the answer, one thing that can never be questioned is that he was loved. Throughout his childhood, Cleo's memories are filled with the attentions of his mother, who made time to spend with him, despite working tirelessly through the day and often picking up night shifts as a barmaid to make ends meet.

It must have been his mother's tireless work and loving attention that resulted in Cleo's deep-seated respect for women. Having seen how much of herself she gave for him as a child, he vowed to be the type of man that would look after the women around him.

As he entered adolescence, what little demon blood flowed through his veins began to affect this perspective. Cleo's once honorable vow was all but forgotten as he learned to chase the high of a woman's smile. Rather than helping them simply because it was the right thing to do, he began to crave the attention that he was often rewarded with. As with any high, the more he experienced, the more difficult it became to achieve the same sensation, and over time, Cleo began to seek more carnal rewards for his attentions. Although he never took more than a woman offered, Cleo was not only willing but excited to put in the effort to earn that final prize.

Cleo’s life reached a breaking point one cold morning, when he was sneaking back into the house. His mother, the woman he loved above all others, sat on the bottom step, clearly distressed. Concerned, Cleo rushed to her to ask what was wrong. He would never forget the pained look on her face when she responded. Wearing a loving smile, but with tears streaming down her face, she said, “you’re just like your father.”

After embracing him, she left for work, and Cleo still couldn’t say a word. He stood alone at the base of the stairs for hours, asking himself, “how?”. How was he like his father? How could his mother see him like that? The walls began to close in on him as he asked the most devastating question of all. How could he stay here when his every existence would bring her misery? At least the answer to that one was easy. He couldn’t.

Packing only what he needed, Cleo fled from the house he had been raised in, leaving behind only a note, thanking his mother for everything and apologizing for failing to learn the lessons she had sought to teach him.

In the years that followed, Cleo did everything he could think of to ease the pain of his failure, but no amount of exercise, alcohol, or even women seemed to help. At rock bottom, it was a barmaid, of all people, who gave him the best advice he’d ever received. “Join the Vanguard,” she’d told him, “at least then, you’ll be wasting your life on other people instead of yourself.”

Vayu is from one of the small outskirt towns in the Chaldea district. He grew up in a family with four siblings (two brothers and two sisters), being the middle child. His family, like so many others, had to adapt to survive since their village was not under constant protection from demons. The children learned from a young age the skills necessary to survive in the woods (capable of using bow and arrow, knives and wire traps etc.). As a child he often took on larger boys who bullied him or his friends. As a teenager, after a big fight with his parents about marrying his childhood (girl-)friend, he ran away from home. From there, he spiraled downward, associating with the criminals of town and leading a life of serious crime. When he was caught at the age of 15, he was faced with the decision between prison and banishment from town with (the stipulation, that if he ever came back, he would be imprisoned). In a fit of rebellion, he chose to leave town and headed towards Chaldea.

On his way to Chaldea, he encountered Catequil. Because of his name, the daemon mistook him for a deity as well and they fought. Having no discernible battle skills, it was only thanks to his natural instincts, that Vayu survived and was able to gain the upper hand. The daemon, realizing that in this state he was bested by mere human, sought an agreement with the human to regain his strength. Reluctantly Vayu agreed, not knowing what he was getting himself into.

He joined the Vanguard for two reasons: To help his daemon and to find his own purpose. Despite lacking any kind of experience related to the use of maga, he picked up the skills needed fairly quickly, not because he was overly talented, but because he was willing to put in the work and keep practicing.

Outside of battle, he's normally reserved and speaks little. He is, however, generally callous and doesn't really seem to understand social convention all too well. He takes great care of his weapons, keeping them sharpened and well-polished at all times. In battle, however, all reservations fly off the wall, as he instead wears an excited grin. When a fight gets too heated, he occasionally loses himself and goes on a rampage. For all his berserk tendencies, however, he can be a surprisingly good strategist when he’s keeping a cool head.

He was born the son of an aspiring young merchant couple. While they'd never managed to make much headway into the profession for most of Zephyr's young life, one of the hired bodyguards took a liking to the boy and, perhaps for the fun of it, taught the small child how to use a sword. The man stayed under their employ until Zephyr's father found a large and promising venture involving moving to a different city. As they left the gates, he came to see them off, giving the boy a small sword custom-built to his size, more as a memento than a tool to actually use.

As fate would have it, however, their caravan was besieged by a large horde of demons in-between the two cities. In the confusion, Zephyr somehow managed to slip away from the caravan, watching people he'd known all his short life be ripped to pieces as he ran, confused and terrified. The boy had managed to reach the forest that had been near their path, and settled down in some bushes to catch his breath, hoping he'd not been followed.

Then he heard. The sound of a battle close to his vicinity. His heart nearly leapt out of his chest in fright. Scrambling up as quietly as he could, he tried to get a better look. What he found made his blood run cold, or even colder than it had already been. A group of Imps throwing around destructive spells like they were on a bargain sale faced what looked like a small group of wounded pixies... and the charred corpses of what he could easily recognize as his parents.

The boy, who had happened to be positioned right behind the imps, felt his mind go completely blank. He only had fuzzy memories of what came next, but as the Imps gleefully executed more of the Pixies, he burst from the bushes. They, in their merriment, failed to notice the small boy with a tiny sword drawn... and that was that. Like a whirlwind that popped up out of nowhere, he cut through the beasts like they'd been made of paper, with strength no child should rightfully even possess. In their shock, they hadn't even managed to react, all save the last one, which snapped out of its daze and managed to blast the boy with a fireball, though not before losing an arm.

An otherwise completely normal 10 year old boy, Zephyr was badly burned and flung back from the impact. He landed heavily, and it seemed his body finally realized what it had been doing shouldn't even have been possible at that moment, twisting and breaking as well. Before the Imp could finish him off, the last of the Pixies lopped its head off from behind with the sword he'd dropped. With the battle effectively over, she found that only the boy still had any life left. She healed him to the best of her ability, which, as quite a young Pixie, was barely enough to keep him alive until a rescue and extermination squad found them two days later.

The Pixie never left his side since that day. He was taken in by the guard that had taught him, and was eventually sent over to Chaldea for training after he'd expressed the desire to do so. Lingering effects from the traumatic experience left him with the tendency to occasionally go berserk in combat, but he slowly learned to manage this and was deemed fit enough to be allowed to mingle with peers in combat exercises.

Scarlet is an inquisitive girl, and moving to Chaldea has only exacerbated this. New and unusual things excite her, and she can often get distracted outside of serious situations. She has a deep-rooted idea of how a Vanguard should conduct themselves, and holds those who conform to this ideal in higher regard than others.

Scarlet was born to a family of farmers in an outlying village. She quickly picked up the skills needed to survive outside the immediate influence of Chaldea, providing for her younger sister and parents, becoming adept at hunting and tracking in the surrounding woodlands.

When she was a young girl, her village was attacked by a band of demons. Despite being armed, she and the other villagers could not stop the demons from killing a number of them, including Scarlet's mother. It was only the intervantion of a squad of Vanguards that saved the village from destruction. Scarlet was awed by the prowess of the Vanguards, and resolved to join their ranks when she bacame of age.

During a hunting expedition in her teens, she found an injured Nekomata. Despite the general distrust of demons that the villagers now had, she recalled that the Vanguards often had demons as companions. She took the demon back to her farmstead and nursed her back to health, hiding her in an adandoned barn. She was quickly found out by the villagers, who wanted the demon gone. However, both Scarlet and Nekomata refused, and after lengthy and heated discussions, Nekomata was allowed to stay provided she assisted the village. As such, she quickly became Scarlet's hunting partner.

At the age of 18, she made the journey from her village to Chaldea. While she was hunting a deer, she found herself sharing the same prey as a demon, Warg. By some unspoken communication, the two made hunting the deer a challenge. Though Scarlet naturally lost to a beast built for the task, the Warg was impressed at how she performed, finding her an interesting pack-mate. Warg accompanied her onwards to Chaldea.

Upon being accepted as a Vanguard-in-training, Scarlet found a briefcase waiting in her dorm for her. When she opened it, she found a beatifully crafted recurve bow, accompanied by a note:

Letter:

With this gift, Scarlet began her Vanguard training in earnest. Her proficiency with the bow lead to her developing spells to complement her prior experience.

Tethers persist for one minute, and only one tether is active at a time - if another instance of this spell is cast, the previous tether dissolves.

All tethers automatically cease to exist when the caster is rendered unconscious.

Monet is a very firm, military focused individual.  Whenever pushed into a fun situation, he commonly lashes out and also becomes very uncomfortable around any mention of romance or sexual interest and despises people who he perceives sexual deviants.  

He enjoys calmer and more isolated activities such as working on tailoring, and shows a softer but firm side around someone he perceives as ‘weak’, while being outright hostile towards males stronger than himself and is very uncomfortable with any physical contact.

An air of loneliness seems to surround Monet, but it seems contrary to how that act since they come across as rather direct and blunt when talking with other people.  Though, they do tend to spend most of their time alone during their free time, and avoid crowds even if they come across as sociable when talked too.

Monet was born into a village far outside the reach of Chaldea into a family of carpenters. Monet’s family helped manage the decoration and construction of the houses in the village. He was named Monet, because his family had been passing down a painting from before everything went to hell that was signed by someone called Monet.  The name was the pride of the family and always given to the first born of a generation regardless of gender, and much of their work seemed to be inspired by the French origin of the painting.

If there’s one thing Monet remembered from his mom it’s that this name “Helped us remember that there was a time before these vicious demons walked the earth to remind us of our humanity.”

Though despite this, the village interacted with nearby fairies in a forest and worked with them to help gather supplies and food from the outside that was riddled with hostile demons, and the fairies like to mess with each other a lot as well.  Monet was particularly close with a troll, who he named edgar who had a strange interest in the clothes he made even if making something for a creature of his size was rather difficult.  Though, it was amusing to see him in matching clothes with him, and he allowed Monet to travel further out as ‘lovable dolt’ would always protect him from the demons.

One day Edgar and Monet went out for a supply run to gather some iron to forge new weapons to deal with some chaos demons that were beginning to expand their territory near the forest.  The two were able to find some rich deposits as they began scouting the area.

“I’ll check out the deposits down south, you continuing mining here and bring some back to the village.” Monet said to edgar, as left the troll to his work before making inventory of how much ore was in the southern portion of the quarry to begin taking inventory how much ore was here when he heard a deep voice echoing behind him and a sharp sensation pressing against his back.

“Ah a human!  Perfect, boss wanted some of you, you better come with me or else...”

Monet was terrified and threw down his weapons, and rose his hands as the demon pushed him away to where his ‘boss’ was as he was now standing in front of some disgusting and savage beast like demon whose eyes were filled with lust.

“You’re from a nearby village right?  Show us where it, and we’ll let you live.” The creature said with a bellowing and excited laugh.  His first immediate thought was that his father would stare down this creature, shout “Hell No’, before charging the creature in a last stand heroic effort.  However, Monet found himself shaking and could only utter the words “This Way”.

Though, instead of leading them towards his village he lead them in the opposite direction, trying to avoid his family and village from suffering a terrible fate at the hands of these monsters.  Instead however, as a stroke of luck or... maybe a curse he ran across a different village that he would went into, gathered information for another town, and then the demons would plunder and have their fill with the residents.

This process went on for a few years, as he became part of the demon group, leading villages into a false sense of security and gathering information for the next village.  Sating the lust of the demons so they wouldn’t turn on him or figure out the truth….  

Though, no matter what he did, no matter how much he tried to bury his feelings his mother’s words kept popping in his head “Monet, a name to remind us of our human roots.”, as he was plagued with nightmares of him turning into demon as his family and Edgar looked at him with disgust.

...He couldn’t bare this guilt anymore...

“I needed to get out of here…” Monet thought to himself, so one day when the demons went to destroy another village instead of watching he just turned around and left and no one stopped him.  He had been around them for so long that none of those beasts even noticed he was leaving, almost like they considered him one of their own.

Eventually, Monet joined Chaldea in a ways to make amends for what he had done.  Though, it felt wrong to still call himself a name that was made for a human, so he changed during registration to call himself Samael Velt.
