Overview

As unstable as ever, this Pseudo-Servant [-125, -125] is an erratic fusion of Aleidoros Escardos, pyromaniac maniac and the estranged penultimate heir of the Escardos family, and Agni, Divine Spirit of Fire. Agni, owing to his nature as purifier and destroyer, is surprisingly similar to his human vessel, even though he still identifies as the god rather than the person. And while his eternal craving for fuel is partially sated by Aleidoros' circuits, as long as there is something to burn, fire hungers.
Being a Divine Spirit forcefully incarnated in a human vessel, Agni still formally requires a Master, even if his native circuits are more than enough for the job.

Alignment

Chaotic Evil

Aleidoros is dangerously unstable, and he was Magus-like in disposition even before his insanity. Victory in ruthlessness. Agni is normally more benign, but the maddened fury of his vessel successfully bled into his personality.

Escardos Magic Crest is an unknown miracle of magecraft development. It's a puzzle 1800 years in the making, waiting for the right person to arrive and complete it all, at which point it would grant power unimaginable.
Flat is that person. Aleidoros is not.
However, Aleidoros' curcuits are similarly unparalleled within his lineage, many orders of magnitude greater than those of most magi, filling every inch of his body like capillaries. They differ from Flat's in that they are a bit closer to Thia's at the cost of versatility of spells; they are somewhat simpler, unable to support the repertoire and complexity of spells as great as his cousin's, unsuited to Chaos Magic. That said, they gain sheer power in return, like a torrent of Magical Energy constantly circulating within him though well-oiled passages with enough intensity to crush Souls.

The ancient Escardos magecraft is an enigma even to the Family Head. In truth, it hides the recipe to the new Prime Species; Flat was the heir designed to fulfil this destiny, who deciphered the spells of the past, and who could design new spells from the scratch with his Chaos Magic to do the impossible with surpassing versatility. Aleidoros had only deciphered a part of it. Thankfully, it was the part responsible for the concept of Fire.
His matching Element and Origin are both a blessing and a curse, as they hinder his spellcasting when it comes to anything not related to fire. He abandoned the other avenues of magecraft as the result, still capable of casting rudimentary spells of other traditions, but learning pyromancy at a staggering rate wholly surpassing every other area of magecraft. Mere years into his research, he was already close to unsurpassed.

Parameters

Strength: E+ —> D+ [-0]
Endurance: D —> C [-25]
Agility: B [-35+10]
Magical Energy: EX [-275+20]
Luck: B [-0+10]

Flame is fast, and fickle. Physicals are boosted by Mad Enhancement. EX in Magical Energy is provided by Agni's nature as the god of fire: he is the living nuclear furnace of sheer energy, as overflowing as the Sun itself and nearly immeasurable in scope, replenishing every moment by gorging on itself.

Master Upkeep

High

At least normally, as befits a Divine Spirit. Aleidoros' circuits effectively make Agni's upkeep nearly free, only dipping into Low if he goes all-out.

Noble Phantasm

Agneyastra — O' Flame, Cleanse This World of Sins

EX [-380+20]
Anti-World, Reality Marble, Attack

The divine weapon of Agni, said to be nearly impossible to counter and emitting inextinguishable flames. The true mechanism of Agneyastra is through the deployment of Agni's personal Reality Marble: the perfect ideal of purifying flames, the internal world of a being that is less a person and more concept, cursed by Bhrigu to become the devourer of all things on this earth yet blessed by Brahma to become the purifier of all things he touched. Upon invoking Agneyastra's mantra, similar to that of Vasavi Shakti's, Agni overlays his internal world unto reality, infusing everything around him with impossibly hot divine fire. Aside from the obvious effects (such as everything remotely vulnerable turning into ashes), this flame has several supernatural abilities related to its nature.

Firstly, it has a heightened effect on anything remotely unclean, by it morally, spiritually, or physically, burning the filth from within with incredible tenacity and efficiency, impossible to extinguish until it destroys the impurity utterly by any means short of Varunastra or similar measures. Secondly, it feeds on anything it destroys, quickly starting to replenish the absurd initial and ongoing mana cost as it devours more matter and starting to grow uncontrollably until Agni wills the Noble Phantasm to stop, potentially even provoking a response from Gaia itself. Finally, it empowers Agni himself, funneling this energy into him like Mana Burst on steroids and technically being the extension of his being; within Agneyastra, he is capable of regenerating from virtually nothing, as the flames count as his body and spirit and grow endlessly, thus rendering him all but impossible to kill.

The glaring weaknesses of the technique is the need for activation and the fact that Agni's Master is not protected against it at all.

Class Skills

Item Construction: E- [+75]
Agni is a destroyer and purifier, not a creator. This level of Item Construction only serves as a vessel for his innate ability to command reality rather than any skill. Items created in this way are even less useful than normal, mere figments of normally damaging if solid fire, thus rendering them unusable for most purposes.
Territory Creation: E [+35]
Agni was not known for any particular domains, other than the concept of flame. While he may establish a rudimentary temple as an extension of his divine dominion, it's not anything special by Casters' standards.

Personal Skills

Mad Enhancement: D [+15]
Completely alien to Agni's Saint Graph, this personal skill is wholly imposed by Aleidoros' Awakened Origin. Agni finds it difficult to resist sudden urges to burn and destroy, and is prone to sudden outbursts of violent fury. Reining it in requires full focus and hinders complex thoughts over time.
Divine Core of the Fire God: B (custom) [-100+10]
A Skill that expresses one being a perfected god from birth. A composite Skill that comprises the Skill Divinity, preserves the absoluteness of the mind and the body, repels all mental interference, prevents the body from growth and prevents the figure from changing no matter how much calories are absorbed.
Mana Burst (Flame): A [-75+20]
Despite the class, Agni is not really a mage. He's a god, and whatever power he wields is wielded naturally and instinctively, divine furnace of magical energy shaping itself into fire at his slightest command. Normally used at full blast during serious combat, enhancing Agni's stats in the manner of Saber Alter and used to fire similar columns of nuclear flame. Also augmented by and augments Aleidoros' magecraft, allowing it to empower Agni's Mana Burst rather than acting on its own, thus piercing Magic Resistance.

Backstory

Another scion of the long-suffering Escardos family, Aleidoros was equally talented to Flat, but in a radically different direction. Aleidoros was cold, diligent, and focused; a complete opposite to his goofy cousin, even if his only talent was in creating flames. Still, the power of his fire spells soon began approaching the workings of the Age of Gods, and Aleidoros' growth showed no signs of stopping.

However, his developing power earned him fear and enmity within his own clan. An Enforcer arrived to take him as a newfound Sealing Designate just as he completed puzzling out a highly specific branch of the ancient Escardos magecraft. When Aleidoros learned of the betrayal committed by those he loved most, something broke deep within him. His Origin Awakened, and by the next dawn the Enforcer was turned to ashes along with the entire cadet branch that once housed Aleidoros. The rogue magus himself went missing.

Several years later, he reappeared in a middle of nowhere as a vessel for a Divine Spirit, a seeming victim of an experiment that finally caught up to its prey.

Now, the prim and proper magus of the Escardos family is long gone, replaced by the God of Fire Agni. Utterly self-confident yet usually reserved, good part of his focus constantly spent on controlling his flares of unnatural, murderous temper. After all, fire consumes and destroys, and what is he if not fire?
