She also heavily contradicts his personality because his familiar is nice and sweet to those who are not violent towards her master. The only person who is an exception to this rule is Esmeray, because even while her and Sammael are often at odds, Soleil still gets along quite well with her. [color=fff200]Chosen Element[/color] Light [img]https://pa1.narvii.com/6152/f29657b0852153ff5c98628620a844d612391987_hq.gif[/img] [color=fff200]Skills[/color] Light Beam - Sammael is able to shoot beams of light from his hands that work almost like lasers, burning whatever they hit. It is unable to burn through most solid matter, the strongest being wood, unless he uses more mana to make it more powerful. At its most powerful, which would drain quite a lot of mana, he is able to burn through metal but it would require quite a bit of time. Flashbang - As the name implies this ability works similarly to a modern day flashbang. He is able to produce either a burst of light from his body to blind those near him or he can produce a small ball of light which he can set off, the latter costing more mana to sustain. A downside to this ability is it being able to affect his allies if they are close enough to him. Flash - Sammael is able to enhance his movements using light, causing him to dash forward at a much faster rate than his normal movement speed. This is hindered by the fact that he cannot dash through solid matter, so if he were to do this too close to a wall he would no doubt injure himself. It also does not increase his speed of comprehending where things are so he has to plan out his movements before using this ability. Finally, he is not able to change directions mid-dash. Basic Light Manipulation - As it implies, it is simple control over light such as being able to redirect and intensify light. Weapon Enchantment: The enchantment on his weapon allows him to shrink it down to the size of a dagger and then grow it to its full size at will. He usually keeps it strapped to the top of his left arm.

It is this charismatic nature that has won him the hearts of many of the followers of light. Unfortunately for him, first impressions aren’t everything and it’s when people really get to know him that tends to drive them away. While occasionally he can act sarcastic and even seem carefree, it is a rare instance for this to happen. His charismatic nature drifts away when people get closer to him and the more violent part of him comes to light. His sadistic nature and violent tendencies show most often when he is fighting, this is made worse by the mix of stress he puts himself under and his narcissism. This darker side to his personality what he tries to keep hidden from most, especially those like his parents who almost worship him. Only person to see him at his worst has been his sister, Esmeray. However, he does have the capacity to care for others if they truly do get close enough to him. His first priority is still himself, though. [color=fff200]History[/color] The Lionsun family was well known within the community for worshipping what they believed to be the good and lighter Gods; including the Goddess of Life, the Goddess of Light, the Goddess of Water, and the Goddess of Earth. They tolerated those of the other gods except for anyone who has a clear link to the God of Shadow or the God of Death. To them, those two God's are responsible for the evil within the world and they loved to preach this to those who listened to them. Which is why they were ecstatic when they found out they were expecting, it would be a child to preach their ideals to so they could be passed on. Their excitement only grew upon the birth of the child. To see their newborn son open his eyes and have them be glowing blindly along with a mark next to his eye, it meant their son was the Chosen One of Light. Unfortunately for them, a second child had been conceived at the same time and their son had a twin. A twin sister born with the marks of a skeleton, the mark of the Chosen One of Death. If it wasn't for the fame that would come from two Chosen children, they'd abandon their daughter by the wall or somewhere to be found so they wouldn't have to deal with a disgusting child but instead, they chose to keep her to earn extra fame. So it became that the Lionsun family had produced two Chosen children, Sammael and Esmeray. Sammael was considered the golden child, always receiving the praise of his parents. Considering his parents' devotion to the Goddess of Light they practically revered him and spoiled him rotten, almost always getting what he wanted. Though with the reverence came pressure to uphold the image his parents held of him, that of a perfect child. From a young age, he was forced into classes that ranged from etiquette to combat. He tended to excel in fighting, physically and magically, but ironically for the element, he was chosen to represent he lacked in the ability to perform healing magic effectively. The amount of pressure put on him by his parents to succeed caused him to begin growing more and more distant from his sister and his personality to become more volatile. Esmeray was considered nothing more than an object for personal gain. In person, she was shown as receiving love and kindness from her parents but upon the door closing behind them when they entered the family house... that's when the truth about how she was seen came out. Mental abuse, verbal abuse, physical abuse. The girl was put through it all from a young age, treated like the dirt they thought she was. Lucky to be allowed to even leave the house to be trained by the Chosen One. At first, though, it was only her parents who did such horrid things to her. Sammael's mind not yet twisted by his parents to make him treat her in such a way, it's one thing she missed of the innocence of childhood... having an actual brother. When they were only young children the two enjoyed to play with each other, Sammael nice enough to share his toys with his sister. The two even loved to play with their familiars together, often sneaking out to run around the streets at night so Esmeray didn't risk being seen with her 'horrific markings' as her mother put it. They cared and took care of one another until part of the way through the year after their 8th birthday, then Sammael began to be like her parents. Only Sammael knows what changed, Esmeray can only guess. The reason for Sammael's distaste for his sister was simple in his mind. In his parents' effort to have become the best, he became the best, in his own mind at least. He didn't want anyone stopping his progress towards power. But his sister was oddly undaunted by the abuse and problems in her life, she was able to remain happy. This, oddly enough, scared Sammael. He was worried about being overtaken by his sister in some way despite their parents' negative outlook on her. He didn't want to be defeated by her, so he followed in his parents' footsteps and began to put her down. It was when her brother turned to her that she realized she truly had no real family to rely on. It became Esmeray vs. the world, but she wouldn't let anything they did get to her. She refused to become the victim of the game no matter how much her parents and brother tried tearing and knocking her down. Instead, she stood strong and silent, taking everything they could throw at her without showing emotion or fear. It messed with her parents and Sammael's minds and only made them treat her worse but she didn't care, it was her life. Although a part of her always hated that it was and wished for better things, it was the part of her that the abuse got through too. A big part of her that hid underneath the rest of her walls of protection. Of course, as they got older and trained more the siblings' relationship only got worse. Sammael grew to believe more and more about being the best while Esmeray learned what real family was through Thann, the Old Chosen of Death. They only grew to be more and more different, the golden child and devil child developing their abilities that basically clashed on a natural level. Said abilities only strengthening their parent's views on them which just caused them to dislike each other more and more by the day and grow more distant every hour. Meanwhile Sammael’s relationship with the previous light chosen, Gabriel, was from from ideal. Gabriel was a peaceful, kind person who specialized mostly in healing and support. This contradicted Sammael and his violent fighting style. Unlike his sister and her mentor, Sammael was always at odds with his teacher. Until the day that Gabriel passed away. Nowadays when forced to interact the two only seem to glare at each other, mainly Sammael glaring and Esmeray ignoring but occasionally a glaring contest breaks out. They also get into what people to believe is a 'teasing match' but truly it is just verbal abuse from Sammael and Esmeray not taking his shit. Of course there is also the fact Sammael basically helps to lead the emotions of distrust and hate towards the Chosen and Disciples of Death after all the events too, which only causes an air of tension between the two siblings that feels so thick that it almost feels as if not even a sword could cut it.
