BACKSTORY
King Onyx Carousel is a devious Cambion who currently rules over Mayland of Earth 531. Conceived by the union of a Grim Reaper and a Holy Woman, the day of his birth would prove to be a day of misfortune. While the love between his father, Maximillion Knox, and his mother, Rosemary Sahi, was genuine, despite one being a demon and the other a human, Rosemary's fellow Holy men and women detested the relationship. Because of Rosemary's position within the Church, they decided to allow the tainted relationship to take place, knowing good and well it would backfire in due time. Upon Rosemary trying to give birth to her baby boy, the Holy Woman experienced an unearthly degree of pain. This was because the infant possessed too much demonic and holy powers within him, causing a chaotic imbalance to take place within his mother's womb that was killing her.
Fearful of losing his wife, Maximillion attempted to save her by performing a ritual. The ritual involved extracting a portion of his son's powers into a host of his choosing, which ended up being a demon from his home realm of The Underworld. While the power extraction was successful, unfortunately it wasn't enough to save Rosemary, and she died upon giving birth to their son. Enraged by the loss of his lover, Maximillion attacked the Church. This forced the residents to combine their holy powers to destroy the scornful Grim Reaper. All had gone according to plan of the rest of the residents of the Church. All that was left was to deal with the filthy Cambion child. The people of the Church considered killing the infant upon birth, but decided against it and begrudgingly took care of him until they could find a more humane way to get rid of him. When Onyx reached his second birthday, he was sold to a man in Rogue Town by the name of Telford Roux. This was the beginning of a hard life for Onyx that would shape his perception of life forever.
Living under the tyranny of his handler. Onyx faced physical, sexual, and mental abuse from the sadistic witch. Telford trained Onyx in using his demonic powers as he grew older, ensuring the boy would act as a shield of sought whenever he and Telford ventured out to perform whatever nefarious schemes Telford had in mind. Many sages tried to apprehend Telford, but the powerful young Cambion, Onyx, slayed whoever dared to oppose his handler. One day, however, a group of skillful sages led by a man named Tobirama Senju found Telford and Onyx. Onyx and Telford tried their best to kill Tobirama and his allies, but Tobirama's team proved too much for the duo as Onyx was subdued and Telford was slain. Feeling sorry for the young Cambion, Tobirama showed Onyx mercy and decided to attempt to reform the young half-demon. Unfortunately, Onyx had witnessed the worst of mankind and his mind was already altered by his upbringing. No amount of rehabilitation could possibly repair the damage that's already been done to Onyx's morality.
Onyx was recruited to Tobirama's guild, much to his and the other members' chagrin. Despite having a less than stellar beginning, Onyx grew to admire his fellow comrades. He particularly became close to fellow guild member Donovan Storm. Tobirama and his guild worked directly under Mayland's then-ruler, Queen Idaline, who had a complicated relationship with Tobirama stemming from their childhood. The Queen wasn't fond of the idea of Tobirama having Onyx among his guild, let alone the fact that he spared the half-demon's life instead of killing him along with his former handler. Still, because of her unique relationship with Tobirama, that went past any common formalities, Queen Idaline trusted Tobirama's judgment while keeping an eye on the troubled half-demon. Things remained amicable between Tobirama's team and the Queen until that very fateful day.
While over time Onyx proved to be an asset to Tobirama and the other guild members, Queen Idaline still did not trust him. She had an important mission that she wanted Tobirama and the others to handle for her in Apatite City. However, she did not permit Onyx to join Tobirama and his team. Instead, she sent Onyx on a separate assignment in Arundel. Onyx successfully completed his mission in Arundel. Upon returning to Mayland, he learned the unfortunate news that Tobirama, Donovan, and his other guild mates had died during their assignment in Apatite City. Enraged, Onyx disappeared and began preparing his revenge against Queen Idaline. Blaming the Queen's racism towards him because he was part demon. If only he had accompanied Tobirama and the others to Apatite City, things may have turned out differently. However, the past cannot be undone and for that, Queen Idaline must die! Thankfully, the next Devilry Combat Tournament was right around the corner, giving Onyx the perfect opportunity to kill the Queen.
A month later, Queen Idaline prepared to defend her crown for the thirteenth time as the Devilry Combat Tournament commenced. Onyx entered the tournament, much to Idaline's dismay, but she trusted that he wouldn’t get far into the tournament. Onyx, however, proved stronger than she anticipated as he defeated all sages, knight and brawler he was put up against. Concerned that Onyx might prove to be a threat to her reign, Queen Idaline plotted to have Onyx assassinated during the tournament's downtime. Fortunately for Onyx, a mysterious Holy Woman by the name of Eleonora Lopez had been watching the events unfold from the sidelines. Eleonora was a nun who felt the Church had become corrupt via money and politics, and abandoned the teachings of God. Thus, she planned to aid Onyx in order to use him to gain control of the Church once he became Mayland's newest ruler.
While Onyx slept unaware of the attempt on his life, Eleonora confronted his would-be assassin and mercilessly dispatched of him. The next day, Onyx reached the semi-finals and defeated his final opponent before facing off against Queen Idaline. Shocked that Onyx not only defeated his final opponent, one of the most renowned sages in Mayland, who most believed would be the one to challenge Idaline for her crown, Queen Idaline wondered who intervened on Onyx's behalf.. She knew from observing his battle that Onyx never encountered his intended assailant.
Furious, Queen Idaline's emotions got the best of her, so instead of waiting the following day to battle Onyx, she challenged him on the spot, hoping that the half-demon wouldn’t be one hundred percent because of his previous battle. Thus, an easy victory for her. Queen Idaline soon realized the folly of her decision. Despite some exhaustion from his previous battle, because Onyx had such powerful blood running through his veins, Onyx overcame Idaline's many fierce attacks and ruthlessly ended her life.
Having avenged Tobirama, Donovan, and his other former guild mates because of Idaline's carelessness Onyx then became Mayland of Earth 531's 126th ruler. Normally, such a role would frighten him because he didn’t have the experience nor did he ever have the desire to become a ruler. However, prior to his bout in the semi-finals, Onyx met face-to-face with Eleonora, who revealed her intentions and mentioned that she had slain the assassin sent to kill him. While Onyx detested all things related to the Church, he knew he could trust Eleonora or, at the very least, she was his best bet of having competent rulership. Upon becoming Mayland's newest ruler, Onyx made Eleonora his right-hand woman and elevated her from nun to Reverend Mother.
The citizens of Mayland were outraged upon learning that their new ruler was a fucking half-demon, and began to revolt. Unfortunately for them, between Onyx's raw power and Eleonora's sadistic wits, the newly formed duo proved more than what the Mayland citizens could overthrow. Realizing that he would always be hated because of his half-demon blood, Onyx gave up all notions of being a loved and caring ruler. Instead, he become a tyrant, only caring about his own needs and, of course, Eleonora's. Despite their back and forth usually going in Eleonora's favor, she was the only real friend Onyx had now in this shitty fucking world. Before his tragic death, Tobirama did his best to reform Onyx but, at the end of the day, Onyx was raised by Telford Roux. Thus, Onyx would be a merciless ruler who had no qualms in taking whatever he desired, which included attractive men regardless of their sexuality or relationship status. It didn’t matter since he was now King and he made the rules.
