Penance is a prison of eternal damnation for those who go against the will of the gods.

Growing up in the slums of District Nine, Nacht was like every other individual his age, struggling to survive with what little he had and blaming the capital for it. But unlike everyone else, he had been lucky. He still had a mother who cared for him deeply and did everything she could to help him succeed. However, that all changed when his mother was offered up as a sacrifice to the capital to help bolster the number of Enlightened in their arsenal.

The Enlightened were elite warriors who wielded supernatural powers and served their respected clan at the cost of sacrificing an individual for the opportunity to enter Penance and be bestowed or awakening a rune, the source of their profound power.

Having been exposed to the worst of humanity due to the horrific execution of his mother, Nacht developed a relentless ambition to change the world—even if it was in his own unconventional way.

After performing a disgraceful ritual, Nacht is sent into Penance, where he becomes one of the Enlightened and is bestowed a mysterious power along with an insidious punishment.

Ability description: Knowledge is a double edged sword and a two way mirror. Specters are born from a place in which they know nothing and can't know anything. All they know is their name. Commune your name to another and they can not escape you.


Nacht looked at the runes with an incredulous expression. This ability didn't currently help him in any way, but he knew that it was quite a useful ability. Knowing where someone is could prove to be beneficial in a number of circumstances. Even so, it was quite a strange ability.


Nacht translated the runes pertaining to his primary ability. 


Ability description: Project an avatar of yourself into the physical world.


Nacht looked at the ability's description with interest. 


This was exactly what he needed to solve his current predicament. He didn't know exactly what this ability would entail but he would find out soon enough.
