Darius is an Armonian human that lived the majority of his life on Terra.

Appearance
Darius stands at 6'0" with short, thick, slightly unkept white hair. He has a lithe build with a young but strong jaw and boyish nose and small lips. He wears a white jacket-like shirt similar to that of a gi that has loose sleeves ending around the elbows, accompanied by loose white shorts that end at the knees. He has wrapped around his arms and legs cloth bandages that go from his palms and wrists to his elbows and his ankles to his knees, respectively. Most of the time, he can be seen wearing a cloth bandage tied over his eyes as a form of sensory training.
Darius' eyes, which have been a treasure to retrieve by many, are unique in nature to any other eyes. They are crystalline in appearance, with silver-white sclera and a ligher toned iris. His eyes are known to glimmer in multiple colors when reflecting visual light.
Personality
Darius is unusually calm and at peace for someone found at his age. More related to a much older person, possibly a monk, than to someone of his age group on Terra, Darius possesses an immense perception of life and of spiritual or moral matters and a feeling of wisdom beyond his years. Despite this, he is not entirely sage-like; Darius seeks fun and enjoyment, shows deep compassion for others and at times may show his real age in times of stress. He rarely shows anger.
Combat
Fighting Style
Darius is an expert close-combat duelist. This is attributed both to his physique granted by his Armonian genetics and to the intense training he underwent while spending the majority of his time on Terra. If he is on the offensive, Darius will make all attempts to close the gap between him and his opponent, where he can make the most destructive influence while remaining relatively safe. When playing on the defensive, Darius focuses on his sensory capabilities with Spirit to outmaneuver any attacks or counterattacks whilst turning the battlefield into his domain.
Powers
- Inherent Spirit Capability: While all can learn to use Spirit, the majority of beings are unable to actually use Spirit efficiently or through practical application. Darius is one of the few beings who have an immense capacity for Spirit and quality to use it.
Abilities
- Spirit Usage: Darius is an inherent Spirit user that is further enhanced by his genetic compatibility with the practical usage of Spirit over Mana.
Equipment
- Geratium Weights: Darius wears Geratium (a condensed hypermetal) plates and bars to use as training weights. One bar is equivalent to 18kg and one plate is equivalent to 20kg. Darius currently wears three bars on each arm and leg and eight plates on his torso.
Strengths and Immunities
Darius is not only naturally durable and strengthened, but is also spiritually durable and strengthened which gives him exceeding endurance. He overwhelms ranged opponents or less mobile opponents while easily capable of outlasting strong or stronger melee opponents. Not only is Darius physically capable, but he is also mentally capable. With great attention to detail and perceptive talent, he is an exceptional analyst and strategist.
Weaknesses and Fears
Darius has a limited visual range. Despite being able to see Spirit in all living beings around him that he can use to visualize the world around him, he is only capable of seeing very detailed things when he can outline it with his Spirit. Although he can extend his Spirit for miles while in a meditative state, in battle he has a limited capacity of extension to conserve his Spirit. Beyond his area of influence he can be vulnerable to extremely-high-velocity projectiles.
Relationships
Darius was extremely close to Alexander Knight as good friends. He has always been closely tied with the Knight family, as he is also close to Valerie Knight. Outsiside of the Knight family, Darius has befriended much of the cult to a lesser extent and a few other persons that he has left on Terra.
