The Headbands
Supporting Headband Bearers
1. Flame – Kael Ignis (19): Hot-headed, charismatic, sometimes reckless. Think "hero with a temper."
2. Shadow – Nyx Umbra (17): Quiet, manipulative, morally gray. Master of stealth and illusions.
3. Thunder – Raijin Volt (18): Brash, competitive, thrives on battle.
4. Water – Marina Tide (16): Calm, strategic, empathic. Can manipulate allies as easily as enemies.
5. Wind – Zephyr Gale (17): Free-spirited, unpredictable. Loyalty is hard to earn.
6. Grim Reaper – Kuro Sable (20): Stoic, fearsome, almost untouchable. Embodies death.
7. Earth – Terra Stone (18): Strong, dependable, slow to anger but unyielding once provoked.
8. Galaxy – Astra Nova (19): Mysterious, visionary, often aloof. Can see probabilities or glimpses of the future.
9. Demon – Azazel Draven (21): Ambitious, cunning, thrives on chaos.
10. Titan – Goliath Magnus (22): Towering, honorable, believes in justice above all else.
11. Omega – Xzaivier Ryunosuke (14)
Origin: Forged by the heavens from condensed elemental energy to stop the Ravager invasion. Each headband contains sentient energy that chooses its bearer based on "compatibility of heart, mind, and ambition."
Balance of Power: Default abilities are monstrous, awe-inspiring, and near-godlike—but also come with critical limitations or costs, forcing strategic thinking.
The Rogues: Any bearer who defies heavenly law or misuses a headband is labeled a rogue. Rogues are hunted by the remaining headband bearers and the heavenly enforcers.

The Ravagers
Nature: Otherworldly wraiths released from the Gates of Hell. Billions roam the earth. They range from humanoid to titanic monstrosities.
Goal: Not all are mindless; some have cunning intelligence and form factions, further complicating the battlefield.

Heavenly Hierarchy
11 Bearers: Act like a council of god-warriors. Each is respected, feared, and morally complex. Some are pure defenders; some secretly seek their own agendas.
Enforcement: Those who break the rules are punished, often brutally. Xzaivier's story will explore the tension between law, justice, and morality.

CHARACTERS
Main Character
Xzaivier Ryunosuke – 14
Headband: Omega
Default Ability: Erases one object from existence per day. Can range from a blade to an enormous threat—but once used, it's locked for 24 hours.
Sub-Abilities: Flight, Mach-speed movement, energy blasts, heavy illusions, poison attacks. These require energy management or a mental strain to prevent overuse.
Personality: Stoic, clever, fiercely protective, haunted by guilt. Has a dry sense of humor that few catch.
Conflict: Wrongly blamed for releasing a universal threat (think Lord Beerus), family imprisoned, stripped of his title, now a rogue. His morality constantly clashes with the "lawful" headband council.

Secondary Character
Liora Vale – 12
Background: From a village destroyed by Ravagers and cruel headband bearers. Family killed in a cruel experiment meant to study headband powers.
Personality: Gentle, compassionate, tender, deeply empathetic. Her innocence makes her a moral anchor for Xzaivier.
Role: Acts as Xzaivier's emotional center, occasionally inspiring him to act selflessly, even in the face of overwhelming odds. While physically weak, she has latent potential that can emerge later, perhaps tied to a "hidden" headband or latent elemental affinity.
Relationship with MC: Little sister figure; Xzaivier's resolve to protect her fuels his rebellion and his fight against the Ravagers.
