Rosso: Difference between revisions

Ainen was born a half-demon child from unknown circumstances. Though unknown means, Ainen was taken into the possession of the Rosso clan to be used as one of their test subjects to produce a Fire El Master. Assigned the designation B-99, he along with many other were subject to all manner of experiments to gauge their aptitude to maintaining the Fire El. While they did not know his race, they still noticed the child's power granted him the unique ability to subdue the rogue element of fire, suppressing it with demonic energy.

Researchers noted B-99's uncooperative temperament and pair him up with another subject, B-27 Lebio. Lebio's conviction to become the El Master so the experiments would stop struck a chord in Ainen and his temperament stabilized. Seeing potential, they injected the boy with [[Stirbargen]]'s Crimson Eye, which the clan had in their possession. The boy had multiple outbursts during this process, resulting in many injuries and casualties, including the death of B-27. Ultimately, the process was a success, the fusion between the boy and eye boosted Ainen's demonic power and made him remarkably powerful at controlling the powers of fire.

During his place as the Fire Master, he and the other started the El Priestesses system. He began to instruct the first of the Fire Priestesses, [[Fanelia]]. Though he would often fall into his arguments, the Fire Priestesses had a keen ability to ignore anything unessential.

After the El Explosion, alongside the remaining El Masters, Rosso was tasked with pouring his energy into the large scattered remains of the El. Traveling to the land which would be [[Lanox]], he poured his powers against the will of the Fire Priestess [[Fanelia]] who plead for him not to sacrifice himself. Rosso was successful, creating the Fire El, though a side effect of his actions was the demonic energy within him no longer was able to maintain balance, and Rosso, as a half-demon, started to go berserk. Due to the chaotic state of the world after the El Explosion, Henir fissures appeared nearby larger fragments of El, Rosso took the opportunity he was given go through one of these fissures and distance himself from Elrios, thus not to allow his rampaging half-demon form to wreak havoc. After crossing through Henir's Realm, the Fire Master ended up in the [[Varnimyr]] region of the Demon Realm. As a final precaution while he still had some control, Rosso erected a prison tower and sealed himself within it to restrain himself.

Once the El Search Party successfully defeated the berserk El Master, Rosso collapsed, with the demonic powers that surrounded him burning away. [[Ventus]] soon appeared on the scene having come to deliver a Wind Spirit Stone to the El Search Party, he tells [[Elsword]] that he shouldn't touch Rosso in his current state due to the heat he is emanating. Elsword asks [[Ventus]] if he knew the person, which Ventus playfully replied that they were old friends. Rosso, having just enough energy to talk told Ventus to shut up and to help him up. Before being able to say anything else, Rosso tells Elsword his name, because he had asked many time during their fight. [[Aisha]] and [[Add]] both wished to ask why Rosso was in the Demon Realm, but Rosso was dismissive and refused to answer their question, similarly Ventus dodged the question insisting that they bring Rosso back to [[Elrianode]] first. Before they left, Rosso told Elsword that the that the Lord of the Crimson Eye was close.

[[Ventus]] takes Rosso back through the passage of Henir, however the dimension was even more chaotic then when Ventus had initially passed. The two masters traveled through it and were able to return back to [[Elrianode]], greeted by the [[Denif]], the priestesses, [[Gaia]], and [[Laby]]. [[Anduran]] welcomes Ventus back while [[Artea]] welcomes the newly arrived Fire Master. Rosso noticing the new generation of Fire Priestesses asks for the Fire Priestess. [[Ignia]] introduces herself, however Rosso without a second thought calls her crazy. Ventus tries to call Rosso off but the Fire Master criticizes Ignia's choice to be a Fire Priestesses. Ignia tries to defend herself, saying he's doing her hardest but Rosso calls her weak and urges her to leave now that he has returned. Ignia refuses to take orders from him, insulting his height which especially peeves Rosso. Denif calls for Gaia to intervene, the Earth Master takes Rosso off kicking and screaming.

He is taken to be cared for by [[Darkmoon]], Laby upset from seeing him argue with Ignia follows to talk with Rosso. After Darkmoon finished healing his wounds, he told her to leave, Laby wanted to know why he was so rude. Rosso tells her to mind her own business and refuses her request to teach Ignia, criticizing that she'll cause herself to burn away at the rate she is working before wondering why he was even telling her. Rosso asks Gaia about the girl, Rosso exercises caution around the girl suspecting she might be dangerous. He begins to suspect why Denif allowed her to stay, Laby wonders if he knew something but Rosso remains stern in not telling her anything. With help from Darkmoon, they manage to convince Rosso to tell a little, he reveals that Laby is likely to be from the Demon Realm since he felt a similar energy during his time spent there. Though he explains he cannot say further without the Crimson Eye. He warns Gaia that he only told them this as a warning to stay cautious. Done with the conversation he tells everybody to leave and let him rest.

Unable to go help the El Search Party after the seal closed, the Fire Master chose to dedicate himself to his training, going to the [[Elrianode Training Grounds]] to make up the strength he had lost from the Crimson Eye. [[Elesis]], [[Lu/Ciel|Lu, and Ciel]] confront the Fire Master during his training to ask him how he traveled to the Demon Realm. Before they could even actually ask him, he declines their request to tell them how he got to the Demon Realm. Ciel tries to reason with him due to their aid in the restoration of the El, Rosso tells them outsiders need to stay out of their business. Elesis wonders if he plans to find the Dark El to stabilize the El himself, saying he'll do whatever is necessary for their duty, then tells them to cough up information they have. Lu if riled up by Rosso's disposition as Elesis wonders if the other El Masters agree with him, Rosso dismisses it. Elesis decides they should go talk with [[Denif]] instead. Rosso stops them in their tracks, telling them to stay out of their business as well as expressing his dislike of Lu's attitude. They argue as a fight soon ensues.

Elesis and Ciel notice his attacks are more precise and controlled. Lu wonders why he is so tight lipped about how he got to the Demon Realm, them fully aware the option is no longer available, while Rosso wonders why'd they bother him if they knew it to be the case. Lu stands that she had to keep a promise she made to revive [[Aegirp]], Rosso scoffs at the promise while Ciel defends Lu. Rosso tells Ciel as a half-demon to stop acting like a lackey, Lu criticizes Rosso sense he himself was also a half-demon. Rosso is surprised that she noticed since even Denif was never able to pin it down. Lu barely being able to tell due to the fire energy, Rosso corrects them, telling them that it is the demonic energy he has which contains the fire energy. Annoyed that they remind him of his past, he doubles down on them. They begin to question if he has ulterior motives but remains headstrong in his beliefs and would even take the burden of the Demon Realm himself if he had to. The group ask why he has to be the one which he reflects the sentiment. Elesis is determined to keep to their duty and denies the rules Rosso is trying impose on them, reminding them they aren't ready to sacrifice themselves. The others keep to the choices they'e made.

At his whits end, he gives and decides to tell them what they wanted the known, if only because he knows it will be of little use to them and to get them out of his way. He tells them that he was born a half-demon which his family learned was able to supress the Fire El's energy. He was subjected to a manor of experiments and was eventually given the Crimson Eye to amplify his demonic powers which made his suitable for maintaining the element of fire. When the El Explosion happened, he poured his energy into the large fragments like the other masters but due to it, his demonic energy started to go out of control, revealing that he escaped through the rifts causes by the unstable El an exiled himself in the Demon Realm. Elesis realizes Rosso was not dissimilar to her brother, who was willing to sacrifice themselves so nobody else would have to. Rosso was done with their presence and tells them to get lost as he continue training to make up for his lost power.

At around the same time the El Search Party all reunited back in [[Elrianode]], [[Denif]] and the other present Masters met with the priestesses. At this meeting, Denif reveals to the priestesses the truth about the El Explosion, that is was [[Ebalon]] who caused the incident, as an agent of [[Henir's Order]]. [[Ignia]] wondered why it was that history only mentioned [[Solace]] and the [[Hernia|El Lady]]. Denif tells her that they believed the world was not in a state to learn the truth, [[Ventus]] noting trust in the El Masters was already at an all time low that they essentially had to beg to make the Elemental El. The news made [[Darkmoon]] realize the Moon Priestess sacrificed herself to make the small Moon El. Rosso saying they shouldn't feel pity, Ventus remarking how Rosso pressed on to create the Fire El through the tears of the Fire Priestess [[Fanelia]]. Rosso tell Ventus to shut up, asserting that she needed to stay behind to train the next Fire Priestess. Ventus finds is curious that the Sun Priestess survived, Denif remained silent, which makes him realize that Solace was aiding from the sidelines. Rosso is peeved at this revelation. Moving on to their current situation, Denif asks if Ventus had any new information about Henir's Order which he unfortunately did not. [[Artea]] was uncertain why the group would not make any significant actions till recently. Rosso is equally unsure of what the group may be up to and brings up if they should inform the El Search Party which Denif decides against, choosing to continue their investigation separately.
