Tribe: Hellgate- Obius Family
Family: Bellamarasu Obius, affectionately known as Bell, hails from the esteemed Hellgate-Obius Family. Her parents, though not as affluent as other members of their tribe, provided a loving and supportive environment. Her mother, a skilled makeup artist, often worries about Bell's tomboyish and clumsy nature, fearing it might hinder her from finding a suitable husband. In contrast, her father, Benemaru, once a legendary swordsman and right-hand to the former Obius crown, has been her idol. His fall from grace due to his refusal to adopt the modern Kaminami sword style, earning him the moniker "Benemaru The Dead Blade," has not diminished Bell's admiration for him. Instead, it has fueled her ambition to prove the superiority of the traditional Paryi style, which she believes is the true essence of their family's heritage.
Personality: Bell is an ambitious, kind, and considerate young woman. She is studious, enjoys reading, and has a deep love for flowers, often tending to the Ars Haven gardens in her spare time. Despite her drive, she struggles with clumsiness, especially in nervous situations, hampers her ability to master the sword.
However, she transforms into a formidable warrior when she focuses and synchronizes her mind and body. Bell is immensely proud of her family's techniques and does not tolerate any slander, particularly when it comes to her parents and younger brother, Echo, who looks up to her. Because of this determination, she dedicates countless hours to training and refining her sword style.
Pillar’s
Pillar of Projection
Bell follows a personal creed based on her family values and her bond with her blade. Her honor code includes:
Preserve your own light:
Never compromise your values to fit in or be accepted.
Don't abuse your powers and position:
Use your abilities for the greater good, not for personal gain.
The sword is a vessel of the strong to cut down the foes of the weak:
Always stand up for those who cannot defend themselves.
Loyalty is the root of human connection:
Maintain strong and trustworthy relationships.
Pillar of Reflection
Bell's father, Benemaru, is known as Benemaru the Dead Blade. His refusal to adopt the modern Kaminami style has left him in a state of lamentation over the clan's discarding of their heritage. Bell, having always idolized her father's courage and bravery, has taken up his mantle and donned the title of Dead Blade. She is determined to prove that the founding Paryi style is superior to the modern variant, even if it means facing ridicule and skepticism from her family.
Pillar of Illumination
Despite her strong resolve and focus, Bell is uncoordinated and clumsy in her everyday life. Her shy disposition often leads to nervousness, which exacerbates her clumsiness. This has caused her to be ridiculed by other Obius family members, and she struggles to gain their respect. Bell's ultimate goal is to build her confidence and master the fluidity required for true sword mastery, so she can walk with pride and prove the worth of the Paryi style.
Anthem:
Name: Magnetism
Description: The Obius clan has the innate ability to manipulate magnetic forces. The scale of this manipulation depends on their skill. Bell's ability to influence these forces is considered to be prodigal, though she is still considered a novice compared to others in her family her ability to produce/ manipulate magnetic force, in particular her own has earned her recognition in her house. She has learned to implement this understanding in her swordplay, creating a special arbiter, Blade Veil. This technique has earned her if nothing less acknowledged, that she possesses the potential to become a great Obius warrior.
Traits:
Birth Rune: Life Spark- Bell's birth rune allows her to amplify her bioelectricity and pass it through objects she is connected to. Doing so will enable her to create electromagnetic fields that she can use to manipulate said objects.
Knowledge of the Occult:
A vast majority of Hell Gate's are casters, their study of the arcane grants them incredible elements of magic and a wide variety of psychic abilities. This knowledge helps inform the proper use of her naten nature.
Sixth Sense: Hellgates are deeply connected to all of nature, including the Astral realm, which grants them a passive sensory perception ability. This is commonly referred to as a sixth sense. Some experience this intrinsic knowing visually, like the Vesta, but the flora experience this through touch and even smell. Bell has a superhuman sense of touch. She can "decipher" things she touches using her bioelectricity to understand their composition.
Arbiters:
Name: Paryi’s (Katana)
Stage: Ava
Description: A traditional and retired Obius defensive sword style that focuses on responding to surprise attacks with a rapid unsheathing and resheathing of the blade. Mostly a dead sword style among the tribe, but due to its cultural significance it's preserved by extending the art to ‘outsiders.’ Paryi: Uses a special scabbard to accelerate the unsheathing of their Katana, increasing the destructive force of their strike, but posing a great danger to the inexperienced. The weapon itself, like all their weapons, is made with a rare ore the Tyre tribe found on a meteorite. This ore requires intense heat and pressure not naturally observed on the planet to render a blade- making their weapons prized armaments. with unique properties to their weapons including; heat resistance, The combined power of their Katana and sheath allow the blade to parry and often shatter other blades on contact.
Name: Blade Veil
Stage:Cea
Description: A technique Bell created after watching how blindingly reactive her father's Ia strikes were. By combining her Bio electricity with her ability to influence magnetic force she weaves together a spherical net of energy around her. The moment something pierces this "veil" it becomes polarized by her magnetic field allowing her to respond with a fearsomely swift reaction attack. This technique also helps her better assess the amount of force her initial strike needs as the scabbard is a dangerous armament if miscalculated. This veil can be used also to redirect projectiles as long as electromagnetic fields can influence them. The technique requires intense focus and though it is her signature technique her inability to pull it off constantly.
Name: Phantom Blade
Stage: Ava

Description: A defensive technique that focuses on using the impressive speed of her sword style coupled with the indomitable composition of her blade to parry an opponent's move and immediately follow up with an additional technique.
Name: Dance of the Fallen
Stage: Ava
Description: A technique that was considered her father's specialty. By placing naten at the bottom of the heel while moving with a subtle cadence the user generates a series of afterimages. These illusions held together by the naten placed rhythmically upon the ground, also move following the naten signature of the following step. It is meant to confuse and induce panic provoking the opener to either attack or disrupt their guard and focus allowing for an offensive response. It is an incredibly difficult technique to master, especially for Bell who is naturally discombobulated. However, once she enters her trance she can perform it with beguiling and otherworldly grace.
Name: Butterfly Fracture
Stage: Ava
Description: Trading reflective parrying power and instead choosing to rely on the nearly impressible composition of the Obius's blade by unleashing a single focused slash shattering the inferior blade instantly.
Name: Withered Rose; Repeating Blossom
Stage: Ava

Name: Severing Coil
Stage: Cea

The power, precision, and energy created from this slash heats the blade furthering its cutting capability and unleashing a catastrophic attack that usually ends with either the user or their target dead.
Weapons
Name: Komorebi; Sunlight leaking through the trees. Named after a parable her grandmother used to read to her. When an Obius comes of age each has a blade crafted specifically for them by the Tyre. This one is resistant to heat and holds a composition capable of parrying most weapons and shattering weaker blades. It is ordained with her favorite flowers, Scorned Spider Lilies.
Void: Her father's sheath was given to her the day she received her sword. Bearing even more sentimental value to her than her blade it is of the old composition used in the now discarded blueprints of the Obius's old ways. She had it reinforced to be able to handle her more modern weapon. The sheath of the Obius is specifically crafted with a magnet that responds to their anthem amplifying the unsheathing of their blades to potentially disastrous heights. Though it appears weathered on the outside it lacks nothing in efficacy.
Ferrosilk: A shimmering metallic-threaded substance found deep within the Öbius homeland, is the cornerstone of their identity. This pliable yet immensely strong material resonates only with the magnetic forces of their Anthem, making it the perfect medium for their anthem. Though she has had her Ferrosilk with her since birth because of her crude disposition she has found it challenging to apply its versatility as poetically as others of her clan. Still, she has found ways to utilize the thread able to create "Webs". Tethers that she uses to anchor herself with her magnetism to fortify her stance when using her techniques of devasting power. She can also use this to create traps to hold slippery opponents.
