White Knight: Vale Gods
Coming to Vale…. Year 9978, The Winter Month Of Canis…. The Dawn
Gods: A superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity. There have been many Gods that have come and gone on Remnant, but some have found their strength in the heart of a new land. Many believe that Gods are beings of total control; kings and monarchs. However, it is Mankind and thoughts like man who give them power and who put them in the position of Gods. What many have forgotten, which explains how New Gods have yet to rise, is that Gods do not start as Gods, they start as Men.
Aura is the reflection of one's soul and self and used to protect them. Aura can be used to to heal wounds, become more strong and durable, and Aura can be used in abilities known as Semblance, which gives a physical construct of said Aura. Aura can also be used in many other ways. There is another aspect of it, similar to a Semblance, called a Belief. Aura cannot be simply used at will. It must be unlocked by others with Aura unlocked. However those who do not have it unlocked, can use it in another form. Belief is used to support those with Aura unlocked. If one can not use Aura themselves, then they give their Aura to one that deserves it from them.
Powerful warriors who protect villages and families with wealth they give down to the people are given the people's hope and belief. That, combined with Aura users being able to taime there Auras to be used by their minds and not their souls, begin to have there Semblance become a more permanent and important part of their physical self. They become their very Semblance, and instead fueled by their own Aura, powered by the masses. They become Gods. However When toughs who give their Aura to Gods can easily stop, and those who did not have strong Aura in the first place not only lose the Aura they had before, but lose their souls as well, to the point that one become Forgotten, a fate no God wants to meet.
This was not the case for a God born on the island of Vytal. On the island of Vytal, the people believed in a hero. More than 100 years prior, the powerful Arc Family, a family name that has been granted with an almost god like stigma to it as well over the years, gave birth to young frail boy. His name was given to him after the almost gold yellow hair that adore his head. Jaune. He would be the weakest of Arcs in generations if he were to survive birth naturally. However it seemed that The Brothers, Two Forgotten Gods that all Gods stem from, had other plans for the heir. When the boy was born, he died in the arms of the maiden that pulled him from the womb of his mother. The castle and the royals wept for the fallen heir, and the prayers for his survival were answered as he glowed an almost holy white and gold. When the light faded, the newborn was healthy and strong, the yellow fuzz that normally adorn a newborn childs head was now met by a spot of snow white, witch grew into a sweeping streak that was centered on the front of his hair and swept across to the left. His eyes were ocean and sky meeting in a merry marriage of blue with his pupils being the same shade of white as the hair on his head, instead of the normal black most have.
However, The island went through transitions, and The Arcs were captured and imprisoned. They sailed across the waters from shore to shore, meeting the large land that was foreign to them now, but would serve as Vytal's prison colony for the new king and his family, The Winchesters. The Arcs and others who stood up for them were shipped in chains and sent to the land. However they had a weapon, for they brought their God with them.
The White Knight, also known as Jaune Arc to those close to him, sailed the seas himself, following the wind that carried the cries and prayers of his people across the tide. He had adorned silver armor that ventured into being called white and blue robes and tunica underneath. His gloves, boots and other plates and pieces were outlined in a golden yellow metal. He was known as many things. The White Knight, The Arc Angel, The Golden Hero and others. All were the same thing. He was The God of Justice and Goodness. He did not bring judgement upon those who make himself as his enemies, but rather grants those who pray for him what they believe is right. And according to the Aura he is given, his interpretation of Good is the common and true Good of the world.
In the cells of the prison built inland of Vale, The Arcs carved runes and shapes into the walls of their confines. The twin crescent moons, The Arc family symbol, was prominent and displayed on a shield with wings sprouting from four directions. A family friend found a sword and coated one edge of the blade in the blood of his palm, shoving it into the wall in the center of the crescent's curve. They kneeled down and prayed to The White Knight. They gave him evidence of the crimes committed by their captors. The murder, theft and rape of there stay on this foreign land. Through their Aura Jaune heard their prayers and sharpened his blades. That night, the colony was decimated and left to burn in the foot falls of The Arcs and there God. Jaune sent his people back to Vytal to retake their land, giving his blessing of the Aura they gave to him back to them, twice as strong and smart now. The White Knight struck down Grimm that came out to feast on the fear and hate in the air.
What Jaune did not anticipate was to meet The Gods of this land. Four maidens of various seasons and elements came down and aided his fight. A man, old yet strong cloaked in green approached him. Father Time. The Wizard. The All-Farmer. He approached The Arc Angel with not swords or weapons, but a mission and a threat. A threat that not even a God of Justice knows. In the end, The White Knight never returned to Vytal, and instead stayed in this new land of Vale while searching for others like him to bring into the fold of what would be known as 'The Counsel of Hope.' It would be many years before Vytal returned to Vale, but there God would be waiting for them, praying himself that he would not be abandoned. Yet what God answers a God's prayers?
