Personality
kukuku

Jaxon is a difficult character to befriend, he mainly operates within his own sphere and can come across as an asshole. Jaxon above all else is merciless, he has no problem killing due to his upbringing and this can cause conflict between him and those around him. Surprisingly however, he is one to seek compromise, unnecessary conflict between him and his teammates is not ideal to him.

Familial History
The Zen family are descendants of an ancient tribe of human who worshipped [JAPANESE PANTHEON] creatures who possessed a great spiritual prowess. After Baldr's defeat at the hands of Hod, they were banished to Purgatory by the newly crowned Valiant Emperor where they eventually awakened as powerful shaman. The Zen would soon ally with Matilda and the Cult of the Monarch who promised to bring back Baldr's avenger who would liberate them all.

Aliza Zen, the current head of the family at the time became close with Matilda, she was one of her Saints wielding a powerful white katana that would soon become cursed. Aliza eventually ascended from her status of Saint and become an Angel of End Time through the Curse of Envy who fought by Matilda's side.

In an effort to spread the teachings of the Shadow Faith, Matilda sent the Zen's to the Kingdom of Hell in the Ember Region were a rogue Demon known as Nero was running rampant as a serial killer rebelling against the crown. The Zen family were not able to save the demon king Lucifer's life but they managed to preserve his essence within Aliza's blade. With her new found power Aliza managed to split Nero in two, his physical body is kept prisoner in Hell while a bulk of his soul was put into her younger brother Zyriel. The remainder was put into the other members and the combination of cursed energy and the Zen's natural affinity for spirit created something new. They now had the capacity for Penance.

When the Zen family eventually returned to Dagda, the Shadow City and Church of Baldr their ties with the leader of their family Aliza were strained thin. Aliza becoming an Angel had meant she made an exchange with Matilda, the shadow of Envy took Aliza's capacity for love. Things went from bad to worse when the Vampire's attacked and Aliza was betrayed by her own younger brother for he had succumb to Nero. Zyriel used Lucifer to kill Aliza and the tides in the war against the Vampires shifted greatly.

Zyriel and the Zen family eventually migrated through the High Elven gates and into Purgatory, using the power of Penance to manipulate their way into positions of safety and comfort. This eventually lead them to Tsulowe where they met a rival in their spiritual awakening. While the Zen family had Penance and the demon Nero whispering in their ear, the Akiyama family had Nether a power with potential to far eclipse theirs in the right hands.

But the Zen were smart, they bided their time. They befriended the Akiyama and broke bread with them, exchanging teachings of history and even passing on the legend to them that Baldr's avenger was coming. This pleased Tatari and as a result the Akiyama grew to like Zens. The two became very powerful families and held close relations over generations in a now flourishing Tsulowe.

However, Penance came for the Akiyama. Through child birth the Zen would pass on the soul of Nero onto their offspring, they were called Children of Penance. Eventually, through generations of scheming Dyn Zen used penance to make his closest friend in the Akiyama go berserk which started a massacre he chose to not prevent. His friend killed many nobles and when the time came to kill the King, much like with Aliza, Dyn used the Akenomyosei to cut his closest friend down and eventually push the Akiyama out of their position of power.

Early Life and the Alvarez Orphanage
With the Akiyama now out of the way, Penance turned on itself. The corruptive nature of Nero caused a quiet civil war in the Zen family were the splintered soul of Nero slowly began to assimilate through the kinslaying of fellow Penance children. Eventually Nero's full soul came together through the birth of one Katagiri Zen, who after killing both his parents and was reborn as Nero now known as Jaxon Alvarez.

What was left of the Zen family were the keepers of Akenomyosei and the last child of Penance, Kiana Zen.

Child of Penance
Through generations of Kinslaying, Jaxon was born a Vessel of Nero that contains an estimated 98% of Nero's soul. He is one of the last children of Penance within the Valiant Sphere.

Nero is a powerful demon, ranked SS in the Legionnaire's Beast Encyclopedia at full power. He's the royal blooded bastard child of Satan who later went on to become a notorious serial killer in the Ember Region's ancient demon kingdom of Hell. Jaxon's ancestral family the Zen's had Nero's spirit partitioned and distrubuted among them. Consequently, their spiritual affinity would be permanantly changed for generations to come and they would become practioners of Penance.

Penance is a type of cursed energy used by demons in Purgatory, by nature it is very similar to the spiritual awakening utilized by shamans in both the Valiant Sphere and Purgatory. The cursed nature of the flux makes it extraordinarily powerful in comparison to its counterparts. By nature its corruptive, users of Penance are driven to the point of insanity and Jaxon's spiritual connection with Nero only makes it more powerful. In essense he is a Vessel for the infamous killer and the two share a soul in one body, often interchanging. Jaxon and Nero have an internal space within the Dreamscape where they can conversate and make bargains. Nero often offers Jaxon more power in exchange for greater control over the Zen descendants body.

Penance grants Jaxon the ability to corrupt ambient spirits around him, he is a living Wraith that can curse the nature of spirit around himself in order to feed off it. A passive ability he's created from this is that of the Demon's Dress, he can assimilate and rechannel the cursed energy created from the nature of himself existing within vacinity of a spiritual enitity through his blood which grants him inhuman levels of physiology.
 * Demon's Veil: Demon's Veil uses the same principal of the Demon's Dress but Jaxon can apply it externally to create a force field.

Penance within humans and demons can be utilized the same way it can with an awakening. Jaxon demonstrates the ability to stream and channel his Penance, being able to condense it into Spiritual Pressure which allows him to use abilities such as Demon's Armament (Busoshoku Haki), as well as the Demon Arts, a form of shamanic spell casting utilized by Demons.
