Editing Campaign:Anarchy Group Omega/Avin (section)

=== Background ===
Early Life and Adulthood<br/>
Born to a mortal family long sworn into the service of Gem's nobility.  Became an assassin and spy for his lord.

Exaltation<br/>
Uncovered a plot by his master to sell out Gem to the First and Forsaken Lion, and Exalts as he is trying to steal proof from his master's office.  He manages to get the evidence into the hand of Gem's leaders before fleeing the city.

Wyld Nightmare<br/>
Hunted by Immaculates through the blazing desert, avoiding tribes of cannibals, bands of fair folk, and the walking dead.

Deeper Into Darkness<br/>
He travels further west, fleeing from those who are trying to slaughter him, and running towards the forces he knows are arrayed against his homelands.  He infiltrates the Shadowlands of the First and Forsaken Lion, trying to discern some weakness in the abyssal war machine.

Silver Strands<br/>
As he investigates further, he runs across or is ran across by a lunar pack, one of whom happens to be his lunar mate, Serenity Broken by Sudden Violence.  His discoveries confirm their suspicions, and there is an argument as to what should be done with him.  The rest of the pack wants to drop him off with the Cult of the Illuminated, but his Mate wants to bring him back with them to the Silver Pact.

Claw At The Moon<br/>
Serenity decides to just run off with him.  He doesn't know about her link to him at this point though, and doesn't understand why she's carrying him off into the woods without saying 'bye' to the rest of her pack.  They fight, the lunar easily subduing the Solar, but only increasing his indignation.

Golden Awakening<br/>
Solar and Lunar angrily part ways, while the Solar goes off in search of the Cult of the Illuminated.  His mate follows him though, watching over him from a distance.  He finds a Cult base, introduces himself, and is put off by how eagerly he is greeted.  The priceless gifts, the worshipful attention... He had seen this kind of treatment before in the indolent halls of his former masters.  He turned away from the Cult, thanking them for their help, but preferring to fend for himself.  This display struck his distant admirer, who had been conflicted as to what her true feelings were.

Moon Song<br/>
Taking on the shape of a traveling performer, the lunar crossed Avin's path again, this time determined to understand him.  She came to him in need of protection, and he became her traveling companion until she could return 'home'.  They talked at great lengths, and she sang for him the songs of her true homeland.  As weeks turned into months, her one-sided link of sorcerous subservience became a mutual bond of affection.  Before the lie went too far for her to bare, she revealed her true self to Avin, explaining her earlier actions and asking if he could forgive her for the deception.  At first he was angry, but as she explained through held-back tears the nature of the solar bond and the fears it had brought up, fear that she had not felt since her second breath, he pulled her into an embrace.

Starfall<br/>
Shortly thereafter, a member of the Gold Faction of Sidreals caught up with the wayward solar.  He explained his nature and the nature of the Gold Faction, and how the Cult was merely a tool, a distasteful means to a greater end.  The Solars must become God Kings again, but not all were meant to rule from the glittering mountaintop.  Some must lurk in shadows, hunting dark things.  This rang true for Avin, and he accepted the Sidreal's offer of training and support in return for performing tasks that his Gold Faction handlers would ask of him.  Serenity was distrustful of the Sidreals, but did accept that Avin would need all the training and support he could get.

Strange Starlit Paths<br/>
Doing stuff for sidreals, training montages, back to back badassery with Serenity.

The Midnight Lotus Blooms<br/>
Avin's martial arts abilities begin to earn him notice and praise.

Moonless Night<br/>
Two years ago, the two Celestials discovered their obligations would be keeping them apart for the foreseeable future.  They spent a few days in despair, until finally promising each other that they would reunite, and in a private ceremony officiated by a Zenith acquaintance, promised each other something far more.  They spent one more day together, then parted ways.

The Ends of the World<br/>
As the various apocalyptic forces crashed in on Creation and it's defenses failed one by one, Avin's thoughts were distracted by the golden ring encircling his finger.  When the plan to evacuate into Heaven was announced, he left a burning golden trail as he sought out his lunar.  They finally met at one of the last Gates as the armies of darkness closed in.  A final stream of refugees poured through, and husband and wife fought side by side, buying each second with Essence, Heroism, Blood and piles and piles of the enemies corpses.  At long last they were only two points of light in an enveloping shroud of darkness, gold and silver intertwined as they whirled about each other, laying the horde low.  As the final cohort of the unmakers approached the gate, soulsteel swords raised high in anticipation, the lovers gazes met.  They had let themselves get drawn from the gate, escape was impossible, and there was no victory to be found on this battlefield.  Serenity drew Avin into one last kiss, then with the strength of Luna, she lifted the Solar above her head and flung him through the gate just as it crashed closed.  Avin's last vision of her was a vicious smile as she turned to face the Deathlord, totemic anima blazing.
