It was a somewhat calm morning, the dark-red sun rising and the fields engulfed in black flames that looked to reach the sky. The sky itself was still a complete blue, unchanged from the normal world, though the clouds happen to be black as well. This 'world' that was currently being inhabited was not that of natural cause, but due to magical creation and molding. It was a place of solitude and peace, a place used by the family to train and to raise the young in the harsh environment that it was. The current two visitors were the creator himself, Reigo Vaan, and Alexander Vaan, Reigo's great grandson.
Reigo was demon of great strength and magical prowess, and was just as wise as he was strong. He stood at a staggering height of 6'7", and unlike most of the Vaan family in the current generation, did not hide his natural demon form. This form looked similar to that of an Ifrit, seeming to consist of nothing but a black and dark blue flame. His eyes glowed blue and looked to be empty of any soul. Even with this natural look, he still wore a special made set of light armor, covering his shoulders and forearms in a red-shaded metal while his bottom-wear consisted of greaves made of the same red-colored metal. "Everyone in the family have been here, my son, his son, and now you. We will spend our time here honing what power that is hidden within you. I will say that everyone has shown a different power, and I am assured that you will too. Now let us begin young one."
Alexander, looking to be around the age of thirteen or fourteen, stood there listening. He was not one to dose off while listening to Reigo, in fear of being brutally punished afterwords. The young man stood only about 5'4" at this time, with his red hair grown out to about halfway down his back. He wore only a white tank-top and black cargo shorts with black shoes. He was here not for any sort of fun excursion but to train and to grow stronger to fulfill his goal. After hearing the small speech given, Alexander bowed and spoke in a somewhat calming tone "I will do as you say, this is a special day for me is it not? This is the day that I go off on my own after such a long time being with the family. I cannot say that I was not waiting for this day, but I will not lose focus either way." Alex, grinning a somewhat sinister smirk, just stood there waiting for further instructions.
After about an hour, the two could be seen in the middle of combat with each other going at full speed and power. As Alexander threw out punches, Reigo responded with precise and strong blocks, not wishing to harm the young lad. This training was meant to bring out ones power, not to hospitalize them. Alexander's speed was great here, though this was mostly due to the realm which greatly increased ones physical abilities to quickly release ones power. As the sparring match continued, Alexander started to create slight sparks when his fists collided with Reigo's hand. The flames, not caused by natural frictions, were surprisingly white and pure. Reigo was somewhat taken back by the fire, but kept his composure so that he would not cause Alexander to lose focus. He could only surmise that it came from Alexander's determination and willingness to surpass all those in front of him. This bout continued for about another hour, when a single punch of Alexander manage to be engulfed in the white flame. The punch, doing little to nothing to Reigo, was out-done by the fire itself which manage to slightly mix and mark Reigo's flaming skin. "Hmm, I actually felt that punch and it did not feel good. Lets take a break so I can analyze what exactly it is you are outputting."
After about an half-hour of reading a book kept here for this reason, Reigo had came to the conclusion of the magic being used. He had a somewhat excited look on his face, one that had not been shown for a very long time. "I never thought for it to happen in my life time sonny but you are one special little spark now. It has to fruition, you have manage to gain the power of what Fiore calls Demon Slayer Magic, with yours specifically being Flame. I had hoped one day that one of my descendants would come to acquire a natural gift for it. With that said, this is not where we stop. I'm going to keep you here longer than most. I'm going to turn this natural affinity into a full scale magic for you. I want you to be the strongest, and the strongest you will become."
Alexander, trying to hold back not only a sinister face of glee, but also laughter and hysteria. This was something that he could use, something he could effectively hone and train. A magic, taught by demons, used to kill demons, used by a demon himself. The natural flame he had would be a tremendous help to learning, but learning is what he had to do. The magic is not something one just fully learns by himself, but with a mentor and Reigo had just told him he would fulfill that role. At this point, Alexander had lost it, laughing and containing the most vicious of looks on his face. He spoke not with gratitude or humility but with the assurance that his wishes had been granted "Hehehehahahaha, this is wonderful isn't Reigo, the power to destroy those who dare defile me, stand in my way, or even just look at me the wrong way. I cannot hold my excitement for what is to come. Lets start now, I cannot wait any longer."
Alexander, in a fighting position that looked similar to that of a boxer, was ready to continue the training. Reigo who was just as ready responded in kind, started not with a blocking maneuver but a punch himself. This training was no longer to see what was hidden but to bring out and destroy any barrier holding it back. Reigo spoke of things needed to use the White Flame, things like spells and how they work, the mechanics of spell circles, and general knowledge to inform the new discoverer of this powerful magic. This magic so powerful was classified as a Lost Magic, magic so powerful only a few could use it. This marked the beginning of Alexander's new life, with everything before this just being a warm-up. He spent the rest of his time with Reigo doing nothing but training, day in and day out. At the end of the session, he knew more about the Flame Demon Slayer magic than he could have ever imagined. This was the day he was waiting for, the day that he was born anew.

This was a history that never actually got to use.

War story is one of a sad and dark persuasion. AS a child, he was taken from his family by Tabi Industries for a "very important and secret" project. This "project" was an augmentation experiment for a cell of Super Soldiers to put down any insurrections made by opposition. War, along with about 100 other children were the cream of the crop among the children scanned for this project.

War, about age 10 now, has been in the Project, now called Project Sword, for about 5 years. He, and about 9 other candidates, have been given the right to be given code names by their supervisors and split into two teams. War's squad consisted of himself, Ares, Lilith, Lucifer, and their Squad Lead Satan. The were named the Hell squad, while the other was named the Heaven Squad. Each squad was told they were going to train for 5 years and each be a valuable part of Tabi Industries' military might. However what the didn't tell them that they were about to go through Hell and back. At this point they went through a Augmentation Process. This was a painful and mental scaring process. They were given implants, muscles were altered with robotic engineering, bones were strengthen, and they were given AI chips to help boost intelligence. This process lasted months.

War, now around age 15, was nearing the end of his training. At this point only 3 people had survived the Project Sword training. The other two that lived was his love, Lilith, and her brother, Zeus, who was part of Heaven Squad. They each were specially trained to take on a small Battalion with ease. They Project Manager, Dr. Gustav Wiloo, had actually came to meet them personally. He told them that he had one more task left for them to complete before they were finished with their training. This last task, this one simple task, brought sadness to all three of them. "Kill, and be the last one alive. Then and only then will you become the projects one and only Sword." Each were handed their respected gear, and they just stood their, looking at each other. War mustered up the courage to speak. "Must really really do this to be your perfect soldiers? Wouldn't it be better to have all three of us?" He said with a definite sadness and despair in his voice. Dr. Gustav replied, in a uncaring and serious tone "In your line of work, you will meet people who you must get close to. And in the end you will most likely kill them, or worse. We do not need you to be held back by such 'emotions and feelings'." At this point, none of us were standing. We just sat their, staring at each other, wondering what would happen next. In the next few moments, a voice could be heard through are radio implants "If all three of you want to live, your going to have to listen to me."

" I'm going to get yall out of this but you must trust what I say. If you notice, their is a wall of windows in front of the black haired boy. Outside of it is a river, that your going to jump, and fall into that river. My men will be down the river a ways to pick yall up. Now fight for your lives and live." As soon as the transmission ended, Lilith was picked up by Zeus and carried at a fast speed towards the window. War supported them with his signature weapon, Dual-wield Pistols. War fired at the Project Staff and managed to kill the supervisor and grazed the Manager. As they jumped out, they were a good distance in the air. "War," said Lilith "if we don't make it, you were always my first love, and always will be." Zeus, always feeling like a brother to both squads spoke up and said " We are going to make this, we already been through so much." In a few seconds later, they crashed into the water. War was knocked unconscious, and was held onto by Lilith and Zeus. They floated down the river, in hopes to the man's men, but to no avail. When the started to see what happen to be their saviors, they were being killed, killed by the Tobi Industries' soldiers. At this point, Lilith and Zeus knew that they all couldn't survive.

War, regaining his consciousness, noticed that he was still floating and that his friends weren't with him. He then started to hear yelling and shouts of pain, and saw Lilith. He saw her shot multiple times and falling back into the river. He then noticed Zeus, and with a horrific site, saw him loose his head. At this point, War began to black out again. He floated down the river, and floated, and floated.

When he awoke again for the second time, he noticed that he was in a bed. He didn't scream, he didn't cry. "Ah your awake. Your very lucky to be alive, along with your little girlfriend. Though I am sorry that we couldn't say your other friend." The last sentence was filled with sadness and that of a tone wishing for forgiveness. The voice was also a very recognizable one. It was the man who gave them the instructions, and later found out to be a man by the name of Aleski Petrovic, and member of the Terrorists. "I say we saved your one friend, but that wouldn't be a complete truth. She received amnesia, and doesn't remember a thing, not her name, not where she came from, and not you." War, now with a face of sadness spoke, with a tone of determination "I thank you for what you did, but I must go now. I wish I could take care of Lilith, but that won't be possible for where I'm going." Aleski, understanding what War was saying, gave him a couple pair of clothes and the gear he found on his body. With this, War left with a mission, one that nly he could complete.

Three years later, War is now a man feared by Tabi Industries. He had manages to almost completely wipe Project Sword of the face of the world, only one left being the one he hated the most, Dr Gustav Wiloo. War will not be at peace till he has completely wiped Tabi industries from existence. He currently lives in secret in the town by himself.
