"AQAWaa"
— Vale Scarletburn, Cult of Ustream Season 1 Deleted Scenes Commentary

Valen Scarletburn (unofficially Valen Ellision Errin in the Grenian Identity Archives) is an East Grenian Angel, and a well-known Syelsumoii marksman who was part of the now-defunct organization known as the Sadistica Seins. He is the son of rebel leader Arias Errin. Valen is also the younger brother of governor Emriesk Errin of Korriaka, who becomes, in the Prime Timeline, Premier Emperor of Greniou. Valen is featured as a main character in Dissonant Rhapsody, particularly during the plots of Bloodline Purity, Rose Within the Fire, and Non-Existent Frequency. He succeeds his father in the role of a main character at the conclusion of his trilogy, during the events of Spirit of Autonomy.

In Cult of Ustream canon, Valen is a regular member who joins the Cult of Ustream early on in Season One. He appears with Emma Isokoski, who joined the group alongside him. He plays host to Oikeus until late in Season One, when Oikeus is released after killing Cuwind.

Appearance

Due to the powerful magical tampering done to him by the followers of Oikeus, Vale's appearance differs from his kin, much to the point where he seems unrecognizable. Vale possesses long, abysmal black hair which reach up to his lower back, pale skin, and scarlet eyes. In his culture it is forbidden and a sign of betrayal and humiliation when a man cuts their hair, so Valen will always act defensive about the length of his hair and will never cut it. In order to manage the ridiculous length to fit combat standards, he trims most of the hair covering his face and combs it over to his right side. He splits up two tails of hair and binds them with scarlet red silk which is a common cultural sign of the Southern Syelsumoii tribesman plus giving him the ability to see clearly without any obstructions. Because of his genetics he is slightly taller than the average Syelsumoii man reaching at about 6'4".

Due to his job as a servant to Stephanie, he is usually seen wearing a black suit with a white base shirt and red tie which could arguably be referred to as his "signature look."

At some rare times when Oikeus' influence was at it's weakest, Vale's hair and eyes sometimes change color. His hair turns blonde and his eyes switch to a Prussian blue color. Though there is no explanation as to how it happens, it is speculated that something within Valen is trying to reverse all the changes made to his soul and physical being by Oikeus, ultimately manifesting in these aesthetic changes for a brief period of time.

Personality

Cult of Ustream

Upon appearing in the Cult of Ustream canon, Valen was seen by the Cultists as a violent and thrill-seeking man, often enthralled by the thrill of battle. Though unknown to the other Cultists at the time, Oikeus was majorly responsible for shaping Valen's personality; he molded the man into one who craved bloodshed and desired carnage. Valen, under Oikeus' influence, would derive strong pleasure from murdering innocents. Otherwise, Valen was a very emotionally-restricted man, who opted to not express any amount of his inner feelings. This also showed the man's incredible sense of self-control, though his emotional restrictions eventually began to loosen up as Valen experienced a greater degree of autonomy from Oikeus, and became more acclimated with the Cult.

There also exists a deeply analytical and philosophical side to Valen. He tends to express his world views and musings on situations behind his so-called "Perceptual Door" - a state of mind which he created. Towards people he considers himself to be on familiar terms with, he is quite respectful. He never attempts to treat anyone as beneath him, but even with careful consideration towards this way of thinking, he still treats everyone with a frank indifference.

Post-Oikeus Arc

Valen's personality undergoes a gradual shift during and after his ultimate battle with Oikeus. All of the values that he had tucked away beneath Oikeus' impressions of ruthless killing begin to resurface - he begins to value the gift of life drastically more, and displays concern for the safety of others. [More to be added]

Dissonant Rhapsody

In the Dissonant Rhapsody timeline, Valen stays under his moniker of "Codename: Five." He retains the strong, aggressive personality type that he displays in his early Cult of Ustream canon appearances throughout the entirety of the canon. However, his anger and aggression are at dangerous levels - to the point where he considers himself to be an "angry, psychotic savage."

Skills and Abilities

Magic

Inherent Abilities

  • Brute Strength: Valen has a talent of focusing power and expressing his capabilities with great bouts of strength.

Learned Skills

Special Powers

Soul Phantasms

  • Cryoimpery: A sorely-underutilized power that Valen possesses as a result of Oikeus' influence upon his Soul Component. Although Valen is not particularly keen on using his domain over Ice Mana, he has shown a great talent in using it. One example is from the Cult of Ustream canon's Euthorica Islands Sideplot, in which he froze a major portion of the ocean purely for his own recreational fun.
  • Manipulation of Decay: As a result of the bindings that Oikeus had upon his Soul, Valen also gained usage of another ability that he has assimilated into his natural usage: the manipulation of decay. Valen is able to influence the rate of decay of various things, and uses it as a way to extract the very life force of a decayed being. As this is a part of his body, he is able to imprint the effects of decay upon his weaponry, and his use of Mana.
  • Photoimpery: Valen's ability to manipulate the light element is a power that he has suppressed. It comes as a result of his genetic linkage (among other factors) to his father, Arias Errin. Valen uses Light Mana and the light around him to complement his various skills, and to reinforce his armor. Valen is able to solidify light rays, intensify them to the ends of piercing through the bodies of others, among other techniques.

Domains

  • Corruption:

Equipment

  • Desert Eagle: A strong piece of weaponry which Valen "creates" almost every time he fights. This weapon has a powerful reputation of having a fast trigger and strong recoil power.
  • SRM Arms Model 1216: By far the most powerful semi-automatic shotgun Vale can create. The magazine runs parallel to the barrel, and is made of four tubes - each with its own spring and follower. Each shell contains 200 projectiles that can provide a painful and wide spread range of attack for the user.
  • Noire Macabre: The only bladed weapon he has is half of a godly longsword from Syelsumoia. The Noire Macabre blade is the exact opposite of the White Lightning Blade in terms of the effects it bestows on the user and the field. It is imbedded with the forces of true decay and has an added aura that fuels its keen edge to slice through the hardest of materials. This blade is fully capable of slashing open Voids and changing its shape to the user's wishes. Unlike the White Lightning, the Noire Macabre produces a force resonance vibration called "Ripple" that syncs with the user's body component and mind component in order to immensely buff up damage output and cutting capabilities. (The white lightning produces a passive/recovering resonance vibration named "Pulse" instead)
    • Noire Macabre: Spatial Auto-decapetator Railgun: [LOCKED UNTIL IDK WHEN BUT IT'LL BE GREAT.]

Combat

In combat, Valen adopts a very defense-oriented style that places heavy focus on enduring attacks and keeping his enemies at bay. To this end, coupled with his abnormally high pain tolerance and endurance, he often makes use of his metallic form to provide layers of armored protection. During battle, Valen is often the one to initiate combat with warning shots, mostly done by way of either a Desert Eagle or an Uzi. At this point, he opts to switch to his core defense in order to observe the enemy's techniques, attacks, and to gauge their power. Valen is an extremely patient fighter, preferring to observe in order to formulate a strategy before switching to offense himself. If one were to attempt to classify his style, he would likely be summarized as a 'tank' due to his endurance, defense, and heavy artillery that ultimately deal massive amounts of damage.

Techniques

  • Metalized Hide: The metallic hide, as it is called, is an exclusive genetic trait expressed by the Errin clan of Angelics. Valen is able to manifest an incredibly strong metal "armor" that engulfs his body. Metalized hides are known to take different forms and purposes based on the wearer's personality, which manifests as a defensive asset to Vale. The metal is of an immensely strong material which also is easily manipulable by itself and by its wearer. It modifies it's strength, rapid regeneration, and durability constantly, most notably in battle when it senses an incoming attack which makes it adapt to the possible force it will be struck with and strengthens accordingly. In the fight between Ziolang Hirasu and Valen in Cult of Ustream canon, it has been shown to be strong enough to withstand intense heat without melting off and so far has not been pierced by anything but the Impossible Blade. After his battle with Oikeus, Valen gains the ability to dawn Faith Armor. According to Arias Errin, the metalized hide has its own slight "sentience" and is therefore a separate, semi-conscious being, though it has so far not been proven to be a fact.
    • Attack Metal Formation: The Attack Metal Formation is the more common form of Errin metalized armor that loses focus on taking blows but instead focuses on delivering strong and devastating power with merely one hit. This form is highly manipulable by the user and can adopt sub states such as Aeronautic state or Seaward state, air and sea uses respectively. In this formation the armor is less thick and more flexible. Only key parts of one's body has thickened armor padding in which massive amounts of pressure and force can be channeled at. Valen's Attack formation uses energy such as mana and eon as a medium to fuel its power and ease of mobility which is expressed with various vents extending from his arms and back. With his Aeronautic state there are two spiked rods on his back that serve as a skeleton of sorts in order to produce artificial wings made out of light Mana.
    • Defense Metal Formation: The Defense Metal Formation is a bulky black metal-type armor designed to take massive blows and effortlessly distribute the force equally throughout its durable form. When Valen transforms into this, his entire body is covered in a thick shell of sorts conforming to his body, making it seem as if he is a literal walking statue. The only thing that does not turn into metal is his hair. Instead, it transforms into a phantasmic white ethereal hair which is still not known what it truly does.
  • Decay Absorption: Using his power to break down anything he wishes, he can use any broken down or decayed material and re-materialize it to his advantage which mostly manifests in Vale absorbing the decayed material and assimilating it with his own body. Since he is built for incredible adaptation, he can often use this ability to change his own physiological form, as shown during the end of Season One where he decays Oikeus' god armor and assimilates it as his own.

History

Early Life

Born approximately 11 years after the failed rebellion of Causica, Valen Ellison Errin is the second-born, and youngest male child of Arias Errin and Helena Knezovic-Scarletburn. Valen grew up without any knowledge of his father, and barely any memories of his mother after she abandoned him. He always struggled with an inner beast, known as Oikeus, who often demanded sacrifices and slaughters to keep them alive in a symbiotic relationship. Pitted against a deity-like force and abandoned by his mother, Valen was forced under these circumstances to live alone in the deep polar regions of the southern Syelsumoian hemisphere. At the age of eight, he was fully capable of surviving on his own in the wild, up to the point where he even began to act like a savage animal. However, by the age of 11 he was picked up by a group of polar fishermen and taken to a town near the heart of the Croi Island to be assimilated into a government-run orphanage.

Within that orphanage his life changed. Though unbeknownst to all of them at the time, Valen met the individuals who would become his future associates and partners, Klaus Nortigren and Emma Isokoski (Sadistica Seins Codenames Three and Four, respectively). During his time at the orphanage, Valen formed an unbreakable bond of friendship between himself and Emma, as well as a very light-hearted friendship with Klaus. Unfortunately, by the age of 12, his friend Klaus would betray him, and in a blind rage, Valen would destroy the orphanage, forcing him to go into hiding once more, until the authorities caught up with him, imprisoning his for the next five and a half years of his life.

Repentance

Upon turning 17, Valen would finally be bailed out of prison by none other than the empress of Syelsumoia, Magda Roseasilmillään. Although Valen was confused as to why he had been set free by the empress, it would turn out that she had a plan for him. Magda was recruiting him to be a part of the Syelsumoian branch of the Sadistic Seven, also known as the Sadistica Seins, however as a bit of a personal requirement given to him by Magda, Valen was to join the military for a short time to learn proper discipline. Within a month he joined the Imperial Navy. In organization, Valen was known as "Five." Under her, Valen would serve the group which would dedicate themselves to equalizing the Northern and Southern Syelsumoian frontiers, and killing off any major political or economical threats.

Under Oikeus' claims, during this time Vale meets Morika Roseasilmillään, whom all believed to have been sent to oblivion a few years prior. They quickly familiarize with each other and the former keeps Morika's survival a secret for unknown reasons.

Timeline Split

At this point, while serving with the Sadistica Seins, Valen would find himself following a life-changing path which would ultimately see him and his partners sent to a different planet - Euthora. In The Grenian Conspiracy canon, Valen is instead sent to Causica along with Stephanie Roseasilmillään and Emma in order to initiate the plot of Bloodline Purity.

Quotes

  • "The doors of perception are merely a fantasy which I shall refuse to open again... Valen... do not fall into that open door again."
  • "A reaper? That's it? There are much more bigger vermin to kill than a simple thing with a sharp edged weapon and a blanket around it. Trust me." - Valen, to Jason Shaver and Judas Numidius during The Debt

Trivia

  • In The Grenian Conspiracy canon and Cult of Ustream canon, Valen lives his life without knowing the name and whereabouts of his father.
    • In Cult of Ustream canon, he is completely unaware of the existence of his siblings.
  • Vale often expresses his Angelic characteristics during and outside of battle. He expresses his free nature and preference of keeping active rather than idle. Speed and endurance is also a trait he carries from his heritage.
  • The name "Valen" is a reference to the ancient character "Young Master Valen" or "Vhshalenrrysk Ikko" of the Grenian epic "God's Avatar (Dierdurev Fiosko)."
  • Though related to Emriesk Errin, Valen's Soul Component is not as potent as his brother's, hence why his soul and body can't withstand carrying a portion of Emriesk's God Armor without brutally harming him in more ways than one.
  • Valen is classed as a "Fallen Angel." Wingless Angelics are often discounted as defective and weak. They even tend to be born smaller than their kind. Because of this Valen does not have wings, is unable to imprint on beings, nor has the potential to transform into his kind's ultimate form. However, he has an immense disposition to transform into an Inoperable.
  • The "doors of perception" mental state that Vale created to keep Oikeus under check gets its name from the Californian 60s band "The Doors." Further inspiration of said mindset which is the result of Vale's strong mind comes from a William Blake quotation, from his famous work "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell": "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."
