Onyx
ASCENSION
Enforcer under Axiom.
Onyx does not wear a face — it presents a surface. Smooth, polished, and absolute, the helmet reflects the world back without judgement or distortion, as if reality itself is being asked to account for what it has become. There are no eyes to meet, no expression to read, only the unsettling certainty that whatever stands before it has already been measured. The shoulders rise like cut stone buttresses, architectural rather than anatomical, suggesting that this being was designed to hold weight — consequence, history, inevitability — rather than emotion or intent.
Up close, the fractures tell the real story. Beneath the black onyx plates, pressure has forced something luminous into existence: a crystalline core glowing violet, not alive but enduring. It doesn't pulse like a heart; it burns steadily, patient and unyielding. This is not a monster born of rage or hunger — it is what remains when all motion has finished, when choice has collapsed into outcome. If Axiom is becoming, then Onyx is arrival — the point at which everything stops arguing and simply is.
