A922 Abraxsis

Abraxsis embodies controlled chaos in its purest form. His irreverent and unpredictable nature isn't just a personality trait - it's his defining combat strategy and life philosophy. While most battle steeds approach combat with stern discipline, Brax treats it like an improvisational dance where the steps keep changing. His rationality exists like a backup generator - fully functional but only activated in emergencies. This creates an intriguing dichotomy where his apparent madness masks a deep tactical intelligence that few recognize until it's too late. Unpredictability is his signature, keeping everyone around him perpetually surprised. His motto is: "I don't make mistakes, I create unexpected adventures."

He carries a highly influential position in the herd and has a very strong effect on the mood of the entire herd.

Despite his seemingly carefree approach to chaos, Brax struggles with the weight of being an instructor alongside Thaddeus. The responsibility of training other Batailles occasionally conflicts with his natural inclination toward unpredictability. He sometimes questions whether his unconventional methods truly serve his students or if he should conform more to traditional combat techniques. This internal battle manifests in moments where he briefly considers a more structured approach before inevitably giving in to his chaotic instincts, usually with surprisingly effective results.

Abraxsis has a particular fondness for thunderstorms, not for their destructive power but because he finds the random patterns of lightning aesthetically pleasing. He delights in surprise training exercises, especially when they involve his ability to conjure weapons mid-battle. His favorite conjured weapon is his mace, which he sometimes materializes just to use as a conversation piece during casual interactions, much to everyone's concern. His favorite food treat is always any kind of nut butter.

He has an intense dislike of routine and predictability, often deliberately taking different paths to the same destination just to avoid establishing a pattern. Structured training schedules make him antsy, and he's been known to deliberately misinterpret commands just to add some spice to standard drills. His least favorite thing is being told to "calm down" or "act normal" - concepts he considers highly overrated. When being ridden on long rides, he has a very peculiar quirk in that he loves finding and eating wild berries along the way. This adds to the angst that will sometimes arise between Abraxsis and Thaddeus along their way.

In the training grounds, Abraxsis's behavior is a study in controlled mayhem. He'll suddenly activate his stealth abilities mid-lecture, leaving students confused until he reappears behind them with an important lesson about situational awareness. His use of haunt often involves creating multiple shadows of himself, each performing a different combat maneuver, challenging students to identify the real threat while keeping them constantly on their toes.

During rest periods, he can be found practicing what he calls "chaos meditation" - randomly cycling through his elemental powers of air, ice, and earth in what appears to be a haphazard display but actually helps him maintain control over his abilities. His war mane is often styled in impossible angles, defying gravity through a combination of his air manipulation and sheer stubborn will.

While his 21-hand frame gives him an imposing presence, it's his unconventional application of powers that makes him truly formidable. He might combine his rush ability with ice manipulation to create slick pathways that only allow him to navigate or use his earth control to raise sudden barriers that he uses zombies from surrounding area via subordination to defend them as he gains a distance to use death to make his enemy violently ill so they can’t follow any longer. His fortification power isn't just used for defense - he often combines it with his ability to control the earth elements to create reinforced platforms that he can manipulate mid-battle changing the terrain of the fighting arena. In spite of his massive frame, Brax is not prone to injury often and will brush off almost any injury as a “flesh wound”. If he is injured enough to need vet care, he absolutely detests the medical trays because they glint, clatter and clang, and generally bring annoyances all around - including the medical staff carrying them.

As the mount alongside instructor Thaddeus, Abraxsis employs what he calls "chaos theory teaching." He might suddenly activate his subordination power during a lesson, not to control but to demonstrate vulnerabilities in standard combat formations. His death power is rarely used directly in training, instead serving as a sobering reminder of battle's serious nature - one of the few topics he approaches with consistent gravity. With regard to Thaddeus, the two of them have developed a very clear set of rules about personal space and comfort zones. Abraxsis will test them, but he knows the limits well.

Abraxsis has developed a personal habit of conjuring tiny weapons that he arranges in elaborate patterns while thinking, creating what he claims are "tactical art installations." He talks to his conjured weapons as if they're pets, giving them names and backstories. His haunt and subordination powers are often combined and used for practical jokes, creating shadows and other characters that act out elaborate pantomimes during serious meetings.

At 50 years old, Abraxsis has developed his unique combat style. His greatest challenge lies in helping others understand that his chaos isn't mere madness but a sophisticated approach to warfare that requires both creativity and precision. He's still learning to balance his role as an instructor with his natural inclination toward unpredictability, finding ways to teach valuable lessons through his unconventional methods alongside Thaddeus.
