Billy the Hero (BAHL-thuh-zar)
“If you derive your sense of identity from being a victim ... let's say, bad things were done to you when you were a child ... and you develop a sense of self that is based on the bad things that happened to you.”
The Great Sage Who Liberates From Captivity Bālthazar Skyburner ibn Carmen ibnat Madelyn Al Ib-Bālphasian- al-Bālthazar (a.k.a. "Billy")

Physical Description
Special abilities
Sage of the Eight Fold Way
As an Archmage of the Eightfold Path, Billy has mastery over The Eight Fundamental Schools of Magic. As a Great Sage, he is also capable of using Samadhi Magic regularly as opposed to standard magic, making his spells and techniques that much more potent. Other types of magic he knows are as follows.3rd Body Art: The Rite of Innumerable Transformations
- Form of the Apostle of Surtur
- Form of the Star Javelin
- The Form of Red Boy
Users can create, shape, and manipulate elements. Elements are the rudimentary, simplest, or essential part of which any material thing consists of. Elements are irreducible and compose other (usually physical) things. Various combinations of elements can be used to create other things. For example, Ice could be thought of as a combination of Water and Air to produce a solid. Regardless of the specific elemental paradigm in use, users of Elemental Manipulation may be able to affect things composed in part of their element.According to The 12 Zodiac Signs, Billy was born under the Sign of Cancer, making his Lower Mahābhūta naturally Ap (Water), though he has mastery with all of the lower transformations.
Specialized Equipment
The Rubenite Pot of Múspellsheimr Fire
When Sworn Brother Chawchga Kichgad (known as Ruben) invoked the World-Destroying Flames of Múspellsheimr, the power consumed him and led to the Fire of Dannaevis event which claimed the lives of over ~96.5 billion people, destroying soul and all. Skyburner was forced to slay his Sworn Brother and sealed the remains of both his decaying soul and the flames he invoked in a magical pot. What remains of the Soul of Ruben remains within the Pot as well, smoldering within the cosmic flames. His wretched SOUL haunts the pot and wounds any who draw near, save for lone Skyburner, his Sworn Brother who came to put him to rest when he had lost his way. This pot of Múspellsheimr Flames grants the holder immunity to all mortal pyromancy and exceptional resistence to non-mortal pyromancy. The warmth of the pot also renders cold or ice-based magic redundent, including the Winds of Winters, allowing one to travel to Niflheimr and even guard the soul against wraiths and other foul creatures when traversing the 52 Dead Worlds.The Imperial Arms of Mâfe: The 5 Forces Greatbow
When Balthazar was Lord Consort of the Mâfe Empire, he received the 5 Forces Greatbow, a magical weapon that is only capable of firing 16 arrows composed of the users natural Lower Mahābhūta transformation and imbued with cosmic energy to pack a stronger punch. The user can manipulate the base element of the arrow fired to produce any other element they wish, so long as their base Lower Mahābhūta element is present. Balthazar imbues his arrows with his Samadhi magic which serve to further enchance the capabilities and power of the greatbow. The 5 Forces Greatbow will break after the 16th arrow is cast.
Over The Rainbow
OTR is an elegant longsword with a Rainbow Diamond Blade, crystalized Bifröst and a handle carved from Ýdalirian Timber. OTR has the qualities of normal Rainbow Dimond weaponry, such as portal creation, space-time disruption, energy absorption, Prismatic Defense (defensive ability where it refracts incoming energy-based or light-based attacks into a rainbow spectrum, scattering them harmlessly, or even redirecting them back at attackers). OTR is not a particularly unique weapon as far as Rainbow Diamond blades are concerned.Tiroce, the Star-Javelin
Tiroce is a long spear made from the Bifrost. Whereas Over The Rainbow is cast from Rainbow Diamond which is a crystal that can hold the Light of Alfheim to summon the Bifrost, Tiroce is made from pure Bifrost energy. Tiroce was made by Lord Bālkyth, Balthazar's father, who reached into the Bifrost and pulled out a piece for himself, into this spear. Tiroce has a few very unique attributes.- Strike True: While Tiroce may appear to be moving through space-time when launched, what it actually does is open a Bifrost directly to the space-time of the target, with virtually no travel time and a 99% chance to hit the foe, unless they can react in the space between heart beats. What is seen traveling through the air is simply an afterimage or mirage. Balthazar does not need to see the target, he simply needs to know where they are.
- Multi-Reality Thrust: Tiroce is not a 3-dimensional weapon and thus can wound 4th and 5th dimensional beings.
- Dimensional Pierce: Tiroce can pierce through dimensions, allowing it to ignore conventional armor, shields, and physical barriers by phasing through them. It can strike targets in alternate realities or bypass time and space itself.
- The Multi-Formed Spear: Balthazar bonded the Tiroce with a Draupnir Ring, which allows him to summon an infinite amount of Tiroce spears, so long as he keeps the original in his possession. Copies of Tiroce are weaker than the original.
The Skyburners Oath
The Skyburner's Oath is Balthazar's Blade Called I (The Blade Called I is a metaphysical sword wielded by a KENSEI, symbolizing the mastery of self-determination and will, enabling them to cleave through fate and shape their destiny beyond physical limits). The Oath is a great sword with a flaming purple blade that, when summoned, allows him to assume The Form of the Wheel-Turning King, one of his transformations. In this form, Balthazar has mastery over all 5 Lower Mahābhūta and can effortlessly form Upper Mahābhūta transformations.Ō Wazamono Grade Weapon: God Shattering Star
Balthazar once took Over The Rainbow and Tiroce, the Star-Javelin, and combined them using the Skyburner's Oath to create a swordspear, God Shattering Star. GSS is a long swordspear with a shaft made from intricately designed Ýdalirian Timber with a Rainbow Diamond blade overlaid with an intricate golden organe design, as if to contain the Bifrost held within. God Shattering Star is an exceptional weapon of the highest grade and quality, it can slay gods and dragons alike, extinguis stars and tear entire realms asunder. It becomes Balthazar's primary weapon for most of his life and allows him to passively always be in his Wheel-Turning form.- The Imperial Arms of Mâfe, Hellfire & Brimstone Plate Armor: When Billy was the consort to Empress Eusmond of the Mâfe Empire in the Unholy Multiverse, he received the customary arms of a Lord Consort of Mâfe, the Brimstone Plate armor. Brimstone is extremely heavy, but is a high-quality material for armor plating. However, when used outside of the Unholy Multiverse, it retains its great weight but loses much of its exceptional defese capabilities.
- Light Robes of Yagimoto Sendojo: Light Robes are a type of light armor that sendojos are known to employ. The robes are metaphysical, bearing no weight or form until interacted with, when it appears. Light Robes such as these are a last and final line of defense but should never be solely relied upon as they are not capable of stoping most threats, only slowing them down.

The Fire of Dannaevis
In his youth, Billy and his sworn brother Ruben once journeyed to the Dannaevis star system where they sought to aid the people of Xecroarilia repel Khaos which had begun to take root in the world after the arrival of a second moon and a Lich King. Billy and Ruben did battle with several Khaos Princes who were being incubated in the core of the planet but failed to prevent the Eudotheric Wyrm of Xecroarilia from being corrupted. Ruben invoked the World-Destorying Flames of Múspellsheimr to aid them in the battle but quickly lost control. The flames consumed him as they, in turn, consumed the entire star system, claiming the lives of more than 97 billion beings. Billy was forced to kill his sworn brother and sealed the flames in a magical pot, preventing the destruction from quickly spreading.Mental Trauma

The Formation of the Bālphasian Clan, House of Ib, and the Rebirth of the Ibraalic Empire
After Sir Bālthazar ibn Carmen ibnat Madelyn Ib-Bālphasian, known as Billy, achieved enlightenment by opening his Inner Mind’s Eye, he returned the planet Her Desher to the Ibraal Star System. This was a monumental feat, as Her Desher had been lost to the Khaos Realm during a Realm Tear decades earlier. With the restoration of the planet, Billy laid claim to Her Desher alongside his wife, Lady Madrobera, who was known royally as Princess Rútu, the eldest daughter of Emperor Yekkub’ Wútu Nyyemso. Emperor Nyyemso ruled the Ibraalic Empire before it fell into ruin due to the spread of Khao's corruption. Under the Khaos Lord Brazemid’s influence, the empire had collapsed, and the entire star system was nearly consumed by Khaos, leaving it in a state of decay and chaos.
Determined to restore both the planet and the empire to their former glory, Sir Billy took command of the remnants of the military forces that remained loyal to Princess Rútu. These forces were composed of his Sworn Brothers and Sisters, the elite warriors who had fought alongside him, and the surviving noble clans from the old empire. Together, they launched the Great Ibraalic Crusade against Khaos Lord Brazemid and his legions, vowing to reclaim and cleanse the Ibraal Star System of Khaos corruption.
The Great Ibraalic Crusade spanned three major campaigns, each focusing on reclaiming territory, purifying worlds, and ultimately restoring balance to the system. The campaigns unfolded as follows:
- The First Campaign: Reclamation of Lost Worlds – Billy led his forces in recapturing key planets within the star system, which had been overrun by Khaos Daemons. These planets had once been thriving centers of civilization and power but had been transformed into nightmarish landscapes. Billy's forces fought grueling battles, purging the corruption and restoring the planets to their former state.
- The Second Campaign: Purification of the Ibraal System – Once the planets were reclaimed, the forces turned their attention to the more insidious task of purifying the system itself. Khaos' corruption had permeated the very fabric of reality, and large-scale rituals and battles against Khaos Princes and their followers ensued. These efforts were critical in preventing further Realm Tears and stabilizing the star system.
- The Final Campaign: The Defeat of Brazemid – In a decisive battle, Billy, wielding the Skyburner blade, personally struck down Khaos Lord Brazemid. The death of this powerful Khaos Lord was a pivotal victory in the first five epochs of the crusade. However, the war did not end immediately. It took an additional 13 epochs to fully eradicate the Khaos forces, eliminate their followers in the Temple of Khaos, and seal the lingering Realm Tears. Only after these extensive efforts was the campaign officially declared concluded.

The SUPERNOVAS
Billy ran with a band of Sworn brothers and sisters, each one exceptional and powerful in their own right but when brought together could change the fate of entire galaxies. They called themselves the SUPERNOVAS, and though not always together, they shared what was known as the Sworn Star Pact. If even one of them were attacked, all of the SUPERNOVAS were bound by this pact to avenge their sworn comrade.
Although different paths in life were taken by them, the SUPERNOVAS honored their pact without protest. Several of their children were promised to each other to create a blood bond among each other.

- Bal-Skhechma (East of Bal)
- Bal-Li (South of Bal)
- Bal-Rorfe (West of Bal)
