"There is nothing you can do to stop the flow of time. All that exists will eventually end. Neither you, nor myself. But absolution... That is eternity's purest form. Annihilation is the greatest expression of existence." 
A being feared since genesis, his childlike visage masks his burning misanthropy.
Though gone centuries ago, his hateful legacy carries on, darkening the lives of all entangled within the rising flames of history.

Nihil

A character whose importance will remain a mystery until later, he is one who's design had always felt off to me until this design, which clicked only a few weeks ago after being in development for 14 years now. The entire ensemble is taken from old European pallbearers, which I think matched with the stature and demeanor really sell the uncomfortable presence I wanted from him all these years.

Mist

A companion character to Surge, a sibling in fact, Mist will first appear near the climax of book two. Like Surge, she is another brawler-type fighter, but she can control the density of her body's consistency, meaning she can either be condensed like a diamond or thinned out to almost a vapor. She uses the former to deliver strong, heavy-hitting attacks, and can use the latter as evasive maneuvers.
I based her appearance as an homage to WWE's Asuka, though mostly with the hair coloring, and I designed the outfit to kinda flow with Surge's style. Her colors are considerably more muted compared to her brother's, though it still contains a few brights to keep it from looking completely drab.
I was a bit worried with the hair at first, but after getting the colors on the skirting, it balances out pretty well, I believe.
