The Sage of 7 Paths
The Sage of Seven Paths is an individual with great control over the world around her. She can do almost anything with her power, even to the point of "forcing fate" as she calls it. "Sometimes the hand of fate must be forced"

- Sage of Seven Paths Her name is Arukas Oturan. Arukas learned this power when she went on a journey to a strange galaxy and met a number of others who then taught her portions of the Seven Paths.

The Seven Paths
Path 1: Hate- When Arukas left her home galaxy, she did not do so because it would be fun. She did so because she had been banished from her native home, for reasons that she keeps private. She loathed her species for it, hated them continually. When she first arrived at the mysterious galaxy, she encountered a person by the name of Gal. Gal knew and understood how Hate could be focused and used to make one stronger, far stronger. He taught Arukas the secrets of controlling and nurturing her hatred, of using it to increase her power and fury and destructive energies. Using Hate as a key, Arukas can unlock a demonic power from deep within her, as can all mortal beings. Arukas then uses this power to destroy her enemies.

Path 2: Fear- After she left Gal, Arukas met another stranger by the name of Bean. Bean was a little fella, only 2 feet tall, but he knew how to use Fear to his advantage. He knew that an enemy that was afraid of you would be less likely to attack ,and that if you were afraid you would hold back in order to run away. Bean taught Arukas how to control her own fear, and how to manipulate the fear of others. Using her powerful demonic energies, Arukas can cause others to feel true fear, true terror. They flee before her frightening form, fleeing in panic and disgrace as she approaches.

Path 3: Protection- Once Arukas had mastered Fear, she moved on, and encountered Lanor. Lanor  became a close friend of hers, and vowed to protect her forever. He taught her how to protect that which she loved, and taught her how to protect those who couldn't protect themselves. He died protecting her from a mighty foe, an assassin sent to destroy her before she became to strong.

Path 4:Pain- Lanor had died, and now Arukas had fled to another place, still in that same mysterious galaxy. She met Hakun, who understood pain and suffering, and how it could be used to force others to do as you say. Hakun taught Arukas how to use her pain to cause others pain, how to spread the suffering so that others could understand. She (Hakun) taught Arukas how to destroy another with words alone, how to hurt but not kill, and get information out of someone. Arukas then used this newfound talent to capture and torture the assassin to death, finding out who had sent it. "I was sent by Oni... "

Path 5: Revenge- Seeking revenge, Arukas went in search of this "Oni" person. On the way, she met another who also wanted revenge on "Oni". Quahn's entire family had been killed by "Oni", he knew what it was like to want revenge, and knew that revenge could be a great motivator. Quahn and Arukas worked together, and eventually found the "Oni" person. Quahn killed him, but Arukas helped. It wasn't until after they killed him that they found out he had been an only father taking care of 3 kids... Quahn, feeling guilty about it, took in the tree kids, and then Arukas and Quahn went their separate ways, to seek out their own redemption for what they had done. From Quahn, Arukas learned how revenge could motivate someone, but also that it was an empty thing to get, in the end...

Path 6: Control- After killing Oni and leaving his children orphaned, Arukas wanted to learn a way to control herself. She traveled, and then met Rep, and old warrior long retired from active duty. Rep was a master of control, he could aim and control anything. He taught her, in a roundabout way, how to control her emotions and herself. Ha, he did so by forcing her though all sorts of training she didn't want, teaching her how to use weapons and tools she had never wanted to use. By forcing her to control herself while she waited for him to teach her control, he did indeed teach her control. He also taught her that some things must be learned on your own, and cannot be taught.

Path 7: Forgiveness- All though this, Arukas had still hated her species, hated her banishers. She no longer wanted to get revenge on her people, but she could not stop hating them, she could not forgive them. It was then she met Siv, a powerful warrior from another distant galaxy (called the "Milky Way" of all things). He had been banished from his homeworld of "Terra" and had been driven out of his galaxy for how he had been born, for his parentage and heritage. Siv though, he didn't hate his people. He had forgiven them for their crimes, and knew just how relieving it could be. He taught Arukas how to forgive and forget, how to look beyond the past. As he was famously heard saying "The chains of hate are old and strong. They bond us to our wars and suffrages, to revenge and pain. Only though forgiveness can we ever achieve true peace in this world."
