:''Main Article: [[Power System]]''<br>
Power System is a system exclusive to Ain which allows him to switch between "Cycle Magic" and "Creation Magic". When he's in default state, attacking enemies will charge the Power Gauge. After the Power Gauge is fulfilled, it will turn blue and you will shift into Creation Mode. During this time, you will be able to switch between "Cycle magic" and "Creation magic" with the V key (default key).
Uses [Spiritualism] awakening system, where Ain has only one awakening bead and his awakening has 3 stages, changing appearance at each stage and gain additional benefits per stage.


Unlike other characters, Ain's awakening mode is known as "Spiritualism mode", which has only 1 Awakening Bead, and receives only 5% increase in damage. However, he can reawaken during his "Spiritualism mode" to ascend another stage and obtain additional benefits.
He also has a gauge system which is filled by attacking or getting attacked. Once the gauge is filled he will enter [[File:PowerCreationMagic.png|25px]] {{tt|{{color|#4488ff|Creation Mode|b=1}}|Create afterimages and various projection weapon using the power of God. Each attack consumes the power gauge.<br><br>Commands and Actives will have additional projection attacks.

Ainchase Ishmael was created by the Goddess Ishmael to restore the power of El.
{{Background
|NA=
A mysterious man who appeared before the El Search Party.
 
He claims he is a priest serving a goddess, and offers to help them find the stolen El Shard.


When the El exploded into tiny shards, he fell through a Time & Space gap created by the explosion. After falling through the gap, Ain lacked the power to sustain his existence and started to wilt away. While in the gap, he wandered aimlessly through the chaos of Time and Space. He eventually felt a faint power of the El and instinctively chased after it. He felt the El getting stronger and with a renewed sense of the mission, he regained his powers and was able to escape.
However, everything about him still remains a mystery.

신의 권능인 순환, 창조의 힘을 지니고 있는, 여신 이스마엘을 섬기는 신관.<br>
여유롭고 느긋한 성격으로 웬만한 일은 웃어넘긴다.<br>
여간해서는 화를 내지 않는 보살타입으로 격한 감정표현이 적은 편.<br>


Now, after escaping the chaos of the Time & Space gap, he returns to Elrios to assist the El Search Party and fulfill his mission.
엘의 조각을 쫓는 엘소드 일행 앞에 갑자기 나타난 의문의 청년.<br>
여신을 섬기는 신관이라고 자신을 소개하고 루벤의 엘의 조각을 찾는 일을 돕겠다고 하지만 그의 많은 것이 베일에 싸여 있다.
 
펜듈럼을 매개체로 엘리오스의 마법보다 한층 고위의 마법을 사용하고 신계의 무기를 직접 소환, 투영해 차원이 다른 전투가 가능하다.

*Despite being projectiles, '''{{CDRU}}{{CX}}{{CX}}{{CX}}''' and its class specific variations cannot be absorbed/reflected since they deal Physical damage.
*{{CU}}{{CZ}} can be directionally manipulated for its entire duration, not only being able to move it left or right, but also increasing its speed of descent by holding {{CD}}.
*Ain by default has a higher and more suspending jump compared to other characters.
*If the [[Ring of Fury]] is equipped, Ain will automatically enter Awakening: Phase 3 upon the first awakening. This also applies to [[Fever]].
**If you start a dungeon already Awakened (by awakening previously in a [[Hunting Fields|Field]], for example) and your awakening buff ends before you are able to re-awaken while it's active, the blinking that will indicate Phase 3 Awakening will disappear.  However, this is merely a visual glitch, as you will still enter Phase 3 upon Awakening again.

== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
*'''Ain''''s job path in Lore/Story would be the [[Bluhen]] path.
*'''Ain''''s official theme song is ''[[Destiny]]''.
*'''Ain''' actually joins the main cast at the beginning of their adventure, even before [[Elsword]], [[Aisha]], and [[Rena]] officially embark as the El Search Party. However, the other characters are unable to retain their memories of '''Ain'''.
*'''Ain''' actually joins the main cast at the beginning of their adventure, even before [[Elsword]], [[Aisha]], and [[Rena]] officially embark as the El Search Party. However, the other characters are unable to retain their memories of '''Ain'''.
**It is shown in the Elysion Clear video that Ain has lost his physical form once again, only to be briefly mentioned by [[Rena]] in the story quest [[Story/Elrianode#27: The Boy and the El|'''[Dungeon] The End and the Beginning''']].
**It is shown in the Elysion Clear video that Ain has lost his physical form once again, only to be briefly mentioned by [[Rena]] in the story quest [[Story/Chapter 27|The End and the Beginning]].
**'''Ain''' makes his true permanent formal introduction in the [[11-1|Hall of El]] story quest [[Story/Elrianode#Chapter 27: The Boy and the El|'''[Dungeon] Together, Again''']].
**'''Ain''' makes his true permanent formal introduction in the [[Hall of El]] story quest [[Story/Chapter 27|Together, Once More]]. After his permanent introduction, '''Ain''' now maintains his existence through the Goddess [[Elria]]{{tt|*|with the exception of [[Herrscher]]}}.
*After falling into the gap of Time and Space created by the El explosion, Ain got corrupted by what looks to be Henir energy. This is shown in his Spiritualism form where there is a dark spot above and in his left eye.
*'''Ain''' joins the El Search Party under the guise of being an El Priest, and keeps up this ruse even until today, with the exception of two playable characters who know he's more than he lets on:
*Although '''Ain''''s main weapon is his Pendulum, he only uses it as a medium for projection magic. His real main weapons are several projection weapons that he creates.
**[[Add]] joined when '''Ain''' had lost his physical form and could not exert any powers - as such, when he finally rematerialized during the [[Magmanta's Cave]] story quest [[Story/Chapter 12|Rod Ross Runs Away]], the memories of Ain that everyone else in the ESP gained back didn't exist for Add, who questions him for his sudden appearance that no one else seemed bothered by. As '''Ain''' can tell Add is not from this timeline, they both don't bring it up with the rest to keep their own secret safe.
**While awakened, '''Ain''' disregards his Pendulum entirely.
**Upon joining the El Search Party in [[Story/Chapter 17|Save The Blacksmith!]], [[Lu/Ciel|Lu]] can sense his creation powers, but simultaneously senses the corruption of Henir which throw her off as it makes him appear similar to a human. Her suspicions are later confirmed when she accidentally absorbed some of his creation powers into a Seed of Life while purifying him of Henir energy during the [[Debrian Laboratory]] story quest [[Story/Chapter 30|A Little Step]], but she still does not go deeper into the matter.
***'''Ain''' has to break his Pendulum to start interventions and unlock his full power which is why most if not all of his start poses begins with his Pendulum breaking.
**Naturally, as far as NPCs are concerned, the [[El Lady]] is well aware he is an angel, especially after the events of the [[Master Road]] story quest [[Story/Ain Chapter 42-1|Hernia's Memory]].
*'''Ain''' hardly acknowledges the other members of the El Search Party other than [[Elsword]]. He would instead call them by their race or background, with [[Aisha]] being "Wizard", [[Rena]] being "Elf", [[Raven]] being "Mr. Half-Nasod", [[Eve]] being "Ms. Queen", [[Chung]] being "Mr. Guardian", [[Ara]] being "Ms. Fox", [[Elesis]] being "Ms. Knight Captain", [[Add]] being "Mr. Ancient" and [[Lu/Ciel|Lu]] being "Demon".  
*Each of '''Ain''''s job paths align themselves with one of the known Gods/Goddesses of the game's world:
**Additionally, [[Banthus]] was merely referred to as "Mr. Bandit" in one dungeon clear quote.
**[[Richter]] is aligned with [[Ishmael]], following his original mission as closely as possible.
**[[Bluhen]] is aligned with [[Elria]], after growing more emotions and regaining his body as a result of it as well as choosing his own mission moving forward.
**[[Herrscher]] is aligned with [[Henir]], after the corruption he gained after the El Explosion spreading further across his body until he fully accepts it and abandons his mission.
**[[Opferung]] is aligned with [[Ishmael]], but is partially corrupted by demonic energy, which in turn caused his Henir corruption to spread. This prevents him from properly fulfilling his mission, which, along with being unable to contact Ishmael, causes him to begin destroying the world to get her attention.
*In his Spiritualism form, there is a dark spot above and in his left eye. This is due to the influence of Henir induced from his time spent in the realm after the El Explosion.
*Although '''Ain''''s main weapon is his Pendulum, he never uses it for fighting, either using Projection weapons or Cycle magic instead.
**'''Ain''' has to break the Pendulum to start interventions and unlock his full power which is why most if not all of his start poses begins with his Pendulum breaking.
**[[Fessel Heilig]], [[Autosuggestion]], [[Erst der Letzt]], and [[Ende der Welt]] are the only instances of the Pendulum being used during combat.
**All of '''Ain''''s Spiritualism portraits lack the Pendulum.
*'''Ain''' rarely if ever refers to people other than [[Elsword]] by their name. He would instead use a nickname based on their race or background, with [[Aisha]] being "Ms. Wizard", [[Rena]] being "Ms. Elf", [[Raven]] being "Mr. Half-Nasod", [[Eve]] being "Ms. Queen", [[Chung]] being "Mr. Guardian", [[Ara]] being "Ms. Fox" and [[Eun]] being "Real Ms. Fox", [[Elesis]] being "Ms. Knight-Captain", [[Add]] being "Mr. Ancient", [[Lu/Ciel|Lu and Ciel]] being "Demons", [[Laby]] being "Ms. Mirror Friend" and [[Noah]] being "Mr. Shadow".
**After being saved from Henir corruption by [[Lu/Ciel|Lu]], he starts calling her "Ms. Demon" in a much more affectionate manner and refers to Ciel as "Mr. Half-Demon".
**Additionally, he also does so with some [[NPCs]] such as [[Banthus]] being "Mr. Bandit", [[Winster]] being "Mr. Dog", [[Haivan]] being "Mr. Kid", [[Nichel]] being "Ms. Dog", [[Lilith]] being "Ms. Mystery Nasod".
*Many of '''Ain''''s skill names are in German and the runic alphabet used in his teasers are used to translate his backstory to German.

*After Ain advances to his 1st Job Class, his [[Quick Voice]] lines will change to reflect his personality change.
*Ain is the first character to receive new [[Quick Voice]] lines in each path outside of [[3rd Jobs]]. The other characters gained new Quick Voice lines later on.
**Lofty: Executor's Quick Voice shows a more aggressive personality, while Lofty: Anpassen's Quick Voice shows a more lighthearted personality and Lofty: Wanderer's Quick Voice shows an emotionless personality.
*'''Ain''''s Spiritualism portrait has a script associated with Ishmael surrounding him. The translation of this is "''Ainchase Ishmael - Disparate Force - Power of God''".
*'''Ain''' is the second character to have their Evil Tracer [[Ice Burners|Ice Burner]] set be based on a miniboss rather than a main boss and is the only [[Evil Tracer 3]] to be based on a miniboss. '''Ain''''s costume is based on [[Jin & In|Enslaved Demon In]].
**His appearance in Cycle Magic has a ring in this same script, reading "''Ainchase Ishmael''", with the larger characters being ''I'', ''M'', and ''L''.
**Additionally, '''Ain''''s [[Evil Tracer]] and [[Evil Tracer 2]] sets are based on the minibosses [[5-3|Wise Dutor]] and [[8-2|Dark Wing Okypete]], respectively.
**The magic circle used in many places uses one repeating line, reading a presumably filler nonsense string of random letters. His Creation Magic appearance does the same, with a different string.
*When translated to Arabic, '''Ain''' means 'eye'. This could be referencing him being an observer for Ishmael or becoming Henir's eye in the 3rd path.
*Ain's hair color consists of 2 colors, the light blue highlights reflecting his goddess' power and the grey reflecting his humanity. As he progress in his job paths, the colors will change according to the power he uses or changes to his humanity{{tt|*|Check individual class page for more details}}.
*Among the {{tt|characters with divine or blessed powers|Them being: [[Genesis]], [[Dius Aer]], [[Adrestia]] and [[Ain]]}}, '''Ain''' is the only one who has such characteristics naturally from birth. This is emphasized in the [[Richter]] path, in which he accepts his predetermined destiny absolutely, and faithfully carries his duty as an unwavering protector of El. He act as a judge and subjugator of evil as well as serving as an authoritarian figure.
**Ain's other paths retain their divine powers with the exception of [[Herrscher]]; who renounces his original divine power and replaced it with the chaos of [[Henir]], and they each take on a different mission/purpose.
