User:Orphen The Legion/Thantael Orphen

Thantael Orphen is a male Argentinian Vtuber who is yet to debut. Orphen is a human that acts as a shelter for incorporeal beings such as ghosts, spectres and spirits (thanks to a relic adorned in his chest) who cant fight back against creatures that see them as food or an energy source.

Appearance
Orphen´s characteristics derive from the effects of the Eye of the Fallen, a relic that was embeded to his chest by his mother in an attempt to save his life. His hair color switched from black to a pale silver, skin turned dark, eyes turned green, his arms have become black, as well as seemingly cracking in some areas due to the relics influence. His clothes are made from the souls he set free, for he does not wish to imprison them.

Lore
Orphen used to be a normal human kid, nothing to stand out. Loving father and mother, health was on his side. The only thing out of the ordinary was his fathers job as a ghost hunter.

As a child, he always wondered why hunt ghosts? Are they not somebodies loved ones? Sure, some have become so angered by injustice, most likely at their unfortunate demise, that they hurt people, look for ways to cause mischief, even go after those who dare step into what they know to be their homes or resting places, but is that not the most human thing to do? He asked himself, but he lacked the courage to voice these questions aloud back then.

His father, Thantael Dekan, made a name for himself doing his job, and with his strong pride in hand and an unbeatable, untouchable mindset, he left his "area of expertise" to go for a different prey of the demon nature. As ghosts, not all demons are bad, but for the ones that are, it is always better to stay away from their path because misfortune and even death are the lowest fee one would pay for daring to do so, and the one his father had his eyes on was definetly no easy mountain to climb.

He had never been to one of his fathers exorcisms or rituals and this was no exception. After each encounter, his father would feel stronger and more confident, but each job would take their time, this one however should have been more difficult by far, but he came back unnaturally early from what was supposed to be his harshest, toughest job to the date. He was feeling incredible, full of confidence while narrating how the fearsome being was defeated, being who had singlehandedly ended thousands upon thousands of lives. He was ready to go public, tell the world of his achievements, the fruit of his efforts had payed off! Airi, Orphen´s mother, was relieved to some degree, but deep down she felt something was wrong.

Days passed by, each more normal than the previous one, but Orphen started to notice things would be too calm at times. If you live with family whome are very well known for doing something proficiently, you get used to the phone ringing, or from people coming to ask for aid in some way, but phones could not have been quieter, even after seemingly having conquered an unmatched creature. "Thank you" gifts his father would recieve or the visits from clients after each job would stop coming, all of these factors contributed to his curiosity, and having left his child years behind, Orphen developed enough courage to talk to his mother about this. She was no hunter, but she had such a pure heart she could easily feel bad things around, and his suspicions of something being off were already a certainty for her.

It did not take long for whatever was off to show itself, because the day after both mother and son started digging into the father´s work from those previous weird days, the truth came to them as Dekan called for a family meeting. He sat down at the table and slowly began speaking, trying to adress their concerns. He called Orphen by his name and explained how he did his job. The hunter took out an orb of some sort, a crystall ball irradiating an otherwordly green glow from within. He told his boy this object was the Eye of the Fallen, a relic that could work as a prison for the damned, and that this was used in each and every one of his ghost hunts, making him stronger the more spirits, spectres and souls he captures within. This is when, now teenager Orphen, not willing to have his words enclosed inside of him anymore, had to ask why was it necessary to imprisson them? Were they all deserving of an afterlife locked inside of a big piece of jewelry? To which Dekan replied "imagine this as a food container, your father was just a fresh dish who served himself and these damned ones to me on that day". Before a word could come out of the boys mouth, a gaping wound opened up on his chest, as his supposed father´s arm pierced right through his heart.

The demon who had taken the hunters form had been feeding on ghosts from the orb and from new hunting jobs, as well as clients, and the family being kept alive was just him proving his desgise was perfect. After Orphen´s body fell on the ground, seconds to being completely lifeless, a Grim Reaper got involved having sensed his imminent passing, as well as getting attracted to the orb´s energy. This envoy of death came rushing to harvest all the souls he could, but the fiend stopped his march. Airi was able to somehow grab the Eye from both creatures after they started fighting each other and, remembering fake Dekan´s words about the relic strengthening the user, the loving mother chose to put it where his child´s heart used to be, that´s when the Legion first spoke.

All those who were trapped within the Eye had witnessed the whole situation and chose to save the boy. The moment the relic came into contact with the body, some sort of merging occured, something that the demon got scared of and that the reaper was unable by law to touch, Orphen simply... wasn´t dead anymore. Unfortunately, he lost his mother as well during the ordeal to wounds sustained by the guised creature. Her soul was harvested by the cold scythe, which was seen by the reaper as clemency and not wanting her motherly love to become sustenance for the wicked one nearby. The demon was no more as the newborn entity Orphen had become, chose to test his anger for the first time in his life.

Despite tragedy, the now young man does not wish for revenge. Such as some of the beings inside the Eye of the Fallen being nice and others full of hatred, good and evil come in many shapes, forms and species, it is evil itself which he wants to battle against, starting by showing the angered ones that now riside within him what love and warmth is, like his mother taught him, hoping he can one day purify each and every single soul he had fused with, has met or will come into contact with in the future.

The relic shall no longer act as a prison, he chose to be shelter for souls that cannot fight back when being hunted. They protect each other from all those who think of life essence as a food or energy source. That is how the son of a hunter and a woman with the puriest heart, became a Legion trying to do good all over the land.
