"A Man? No no, you are a Man, good sir, HE was like a God, a gracious gift sent from the Heavens to lead our people into a glorious new age."

Created & Written by Khali A. Crawford

The Red Lion of Midgard

Mahadaji was a Mage of Eight Arts and a Great Mage Equal to Heaven, widely considered not only the most powerful Mage of his time but one of the strongest beings in the cosmos ever. He was responsible for creating an entirely new Empire in Midgard, banished Lucifer Morningstar to the 1st Dimension and disrespected the hierarchy of both Heaven & Hell multiple times, and yet lived to tell the tale. It was Mahadaji who made the Al-Hashimi name feared and respected to this day.

Physical Description

Special abilities

Inherited Technique: Brahma

Brahma, Eyes of Creation is an Inherited Technique specific to the Al-Hashimi Clan which grants access to five other ocular abilities of which the Clan is renowned. These 5 abilities are;
  • Shiva -- Allows the user to destroy Magical Energy within living creatures, can be evolved to apply to any kind of Energy.
  • Maya -- Let one cast complex and powerful illusions via their eyes that cannot be broken even if one is aware it is an illusion.
  • Vishnu -- Grants the ability to manipulate one's internal Magical Energy done to the molecular level. Can be evolved to apply to all Energy.
  • Ganesha -- One becomes aware and gains a deeper insight into Spells, people, events, and all things perceived by these eyes.
  • Shakti -- Users can traverse the 5 Dimensions and harness Raw Magical Energy directly.
Mahadaji can also summon the Avatar of Brahma, a massive entity made from Magical Energy that can make the user invincible to any and all attacks that are not perfectly balanced with Radiance & Darkness.

Inherited Technique: Brahma's Bestowal: Sir Jhukaana

  Sir Jhukaana was the ability Mahadaji received after awakening Brahma. It is an exceptional ability that can be extremely subtle or very direct. In essence, it allows Mahadaji to impose his will or dominate others, or to compel or hypnotize others to follow and trust in him. When used passively, the ladder result is achieved, people naturally follow and submit to their will, ideas, and desires.
---
This makes Mahadaji a natural-born leader and great warlord, however, it only passively works on weaker people or those with a lame resolve/ mental fortitude. In the event of facing stronger willed opponents, Sir Jhukaana's direct powers can be used which forcibly impose his immense strength and will upon targeted individuals, to conquer their own. This can be used to force others to do one's bidding even if they are aware they are being attacked, or, if they prove too rebellious, it can be used to simply render them unconscious.  

Apparel & Accessories

9 Sacred Jewels of Navaratna

Around his neck, Mahadaji wore 9 Enchanted Gems clasped in gold casings. The 9 Gems were stolen from the Palace of the Gods in the 1st Kingdom by Mahadaji on one of his many adventures.

Specialized Equipment

Scapple, Doomblade of the Ancients


Mahadaji wielded a Talwar called 'Scapple, Doomblade of the Ancients', a formidable weapon and one that many great nations and forces came to fear when wielded by an Al-Hashimi. The weapon could target specific parts of an enemy's body, vital organs, or even eyes, and focus the full might of its wielder to only strike that one body part. With it, Mahadaji could rupture a man's heart without ever puncturing their skin.

Mental characteristics

Accomplishments & Achievements

Founder of House Al-Hashimi
Mahadaji created his own empire, the House of Al-Hashimi, which he then used to take not only his Homeworld but his Mother Star from the Future War Empire. Mahadaji would then go on to lead the 1st Al-Hashimi Dirka'Ad across a sector of space, ending with the securing of 79 Worlds and 12 Hot Spots.
---
Mahadaji essentially carved out a small portion of space for his family and people, establishing a new Universal power that the big three could not ignore and had to recognize as legitimate. 

Failures & Embarrassments

Although Mahadaji established the House of Al-Hashimi, an empire onto itself, he widely thought of himself as a failure. During the course of his great crusade, he had lost his 1st wife and become estranged from his close friends and allies that had been with him since his early days on Risuyama. He hoped that the House would stand the test of time to give his descendants something he tried and failed, to obtain himself; peace and happiness with their loved ones.

Morality & Philosophy

"When I was a boy, my father was mauled by a lion that hunted near our farmland. Father had always made sure to never cross the beast's path but on this day I suppose he had not gone far enough. But, what I hadn't noticed at the time, after the lion killed him it took the dead deer my Father left regardless. Why? Why had it killed Father even if it was satisfied?"

When Mahadaji was a boy a great lion had mauled and killed his father but didn't eat him, but left his body for Mahadaji to find. Why? As Mahadaji grew older he thought on this more and more until he found his answer. During an Imperial Inspection, an officer who Mahadaji had a grudge against claimed his lover was guilty of heresy and made an example of her in the city. It was then that he realized his answer; the strong trample the weak because they are strong, and they need no other reason. The Lion killed his father because it could, and Mahadaji was tired of being trampeled on.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Mahadaji grew up on planet Risauyama with nothing, working as an assistant to a philosopher who cared little that he was still just a boy. But, as he went through life, Mahadaji was joined by close friends and enemies-turned-allies. Although they had nothing, they still had each other and Mahadaji cherished these simple times, when it seemed as if it was just them against the entire Universe. 
-
But this was taken from him, they split up and Mahadaji lost his "family" because he lacked the power to hold onto the things dear to him. This is what awakens Brahma, and this is what drives Mahadaji on his religious crusade, every day more people join him and swear to fight and die by his side, he must have the strength to keep them safe, and if he can create his own little corner of the Universe where no one must worry about losing their loved ones, that would be enough.

Vices & Personality flaws

Mahadaji was great, mighty, strong, noble, fearless, and kind. Yes, but he was also a fool who refused to play by the rules of others. He was the type of man to rewrite the very stars themselves should they ever shine out of his particular order. He often rejected reality for what it was in favor of what he thought it should be and despite all that power, it never ended well for him. His stubbornness lead to his first wife's death, the separation of his friends he fought so hard for, and, eventually, his firstborn son taking his life. But, at that point, Mahadaji was already "dead", the man had lost too much in this cruel and uncaring Universe and believed it was impossible to achieve his dream, even with his great power.

Social

Reign

  • The God-Mage Is Born
On Planet Risauyama, Mahadaji awakens the Brahma and opposes the FutureWar Empire. This rebellion resulted in him fighting the Imperial Champion on the world at the time, Tymbur the Fire-Tested. Above all the Champions, he was favored by the Old Gods and his defeat by the hands of a novice such as Mahadaji deeply upset them.
  • The Arena of Slaves of Koss-Tig
In the early days of his Dirka'Ad, Mahadaji came across the Arena Of Slaves on planet Koss-Tig, a world controlled by the United Stellar Commonwealth. Mahadaji entered into the arena under a false identity and fought his way through the arena, earning the trust and respect of his fellow slaves. Mahadaji killed the Slave Master in the final event and freed the slaves, who all pledged their undying loyalty to him. They would fight their way off of Koss-Tig and become known as Mahadaji's fierce warrior clan, the Kirtsan.
  • The Battle of Un Su Tyu
A revolutionary battle during the 1st Al-Hashimi Dirka'Ad saw Imperial forces converge on the world Un Su Tyu to corner Mahadaji. His loyal and fierce Kirtsan troopers were decimated and he was forced to do battle with 244 Imperial Champions. Mahadaji fought them for 12 weeks straight + the considerable Imperial force sent to support the Champions. This is one of the few notable events in Mahadaji's life that actually pushed him to his limit with Brahma, Eyes of Enlightenment
  • The Prodigal Son Returns
On Planet Risauyama, Mahadaji is attacked by his eldest son, Jatayu, whom he banished some years before for defying his will on Planet Skol. Mahadaji was past his prime and Jatayu seemed to pick his timing just right. Their fight broke the family homestead and ended in Mahadaji's death. Jatayu was exiled after this event and hunted for the rest of his days.

Family Ties

Mahadaji had serval wives and many children during his life, many of whom he neglected, betrayed, was betrayed by, or killed. Most notable was his first wife, Jayanti, and their son, Jatayu, who eventually was the one who killed him in the end.

Social Aptitude

Mahadaji was very approachable, when he talked to you, it felt as if he spoke to an old friend of his that he hadn't seen in cycles. He had a talent for making people trust him and want to follow him. And with his immense power, he made people feel safe when they walked with his House sigil on their backs, they were no longer just a single being in the cosmos but rather part of a mighty collective that would go above and beyond for its members.

Mannerisms

Mahadaji, despite his fierce look, always spoke softly and clearly. He called his allies "good friends" and always kissed the hand of a beautiful woman he met. He spoke best when he was on his feet and made sure to capture his audience's eyes.

Hobbies & Pets

Mahadaji favored Lions, his Clan's patron animal, and had a pride of them at his palace on Risauyama.

Wealth & Financial state

Mahadaji was a Conquerer of 79 worlds and had the spoils to match it. On his Homeworld of Risauyama, he had a lavish palace built that served as the capital of the planet. His vault was filled with untold riches and he used his newfound position to create an intricate system to make all the worlds under his rule immensely rich and successful.

Quotes & Catchphrases
"I refuse ... I refuse to abide by this universe's rules, I refuse to let go of my loved ones, and I refuse you old man! I'll live the way I want and fight for the day I can stand with my friends without ducking our heads to others."
"...Then don't trust them, don't trust the Kirtsan, don't trust my allies, and you don't even have to trust yourself. Trust me, my love, trust my words, my heart, and my undying love for you. I shall make this dream of ours a reality, the day will come when we can stand together in peace. I promise."
