Junium Diamond

Junius diamond is powerful and dominant because it is an Arcn

Unlike humans, Arcana live a single life, but they live a very long time.

When a person dies a true death, his soul is sent to the Gemini Court.:If a commoner has suffered meekly and obeyed all his life, his soul goes to Bliss (Paradise).If a nobleman rules honestly and defends the law, he also finds peace.If a person rebelled, violated his Destiny, or sinned, his soul goes to the Bottom, to eternal torment in the void.

Death in this world is not the end, but a real social and biological process. The gods granted the inhabitants of the Empire the opportunity to die several times.Little Death (Ghostly Death): When a person dies from an accident, illness, in battle, or at the hands of an assassin, his soul does not pass away immediately. After some time (from several hours to days), the human body recovers, and the soul returns to it. Man is resurrected.Limit: Usually an ordinary person can have up to 4 minor deaths in a lifetime.Effects: Every small death leaves a deep mark. A resurrected person remembers death and pain itself. His body becomes a little paler, and his mind may be slightly damaged.True Death: This is the final, irrevocable death of the soul and body. After it, man will never rise again. True death occurs in three cases:The limit has been reached: If a person has spent all his small deaths. The next death will be final.Execution of the Inquisition (Through Fire): Inquisitors possess a special sacred flame. If a person is sentenced to be burned for heresy or serious crimes, the flame of the inquisitors burns out the soul. A person dies a True death the first time, no matter how many small deaths he has left.Old age: Natural death from old age is always True.

A person's whole life is determined by his Destiny (estate) from birth. It is almost impossible to move from one estate to another. Violating the rules of one's Lot is considered a terrible sin before the gods.The lot of Commoners (The Share of Suffering): The most numerous class. They are obliged to work hard all their lives (in the fields, in factories, in mines) and meekly obey the upper classes. By law, commoners are not allowed to own land, carry weapons, defend their honor in duels, or even read the Holy Scriptures. Their destiny is to endure resentment, poverty and suffering in order to purify their souls for the afterlife.The Lot Of The Nobles (Share Of Honor): Rulers, judges, military and officials. They have steel skin (if they are a demon race) or try to imitate them (human nobles). Nobles are obligated to rule, fight, and judge. They have the right to execute commoners for disobedience, but they are bound by a strict code of honor. A nobleman has no right to engage in trade or manual labor — this is considered a disgrace and deprives the nobility.The Clergy's lot (The share of Service): Priests and inquisitors. The only estate where both a noble and a commoner can theoretically enter. They are required to pray, guide people on the right path, enforce the laws of Gemini, and punish heretics.

Junius Diamant has a classic, majestic and austere appearance, characteristic of the highest representatives of the demon race.:Skin and blood: His skin has a cold, immaculately smooth steel-gray hue, and blue blood flows in his veins. Such an appearance immediately reveals in him a semi-divine being born to rule.Face and gaze: He has stern, regular, and chiseled features. Junius's gaze is wise, deep and insightful. Unlike other arrogant demons, there is sorrow, compassion, and the burden of heavy thoughts in his eyes.Hair: Short, neatly styled silver-white or gray hair, which emphasizes his advanced age, spiritual status and life experience.The robe: As patriarch, he wears the luxurious, layered ecclesiastical cassocks of the highest clergy. The fabrics are mostly dark, burgundy, purple or gold tones, decorated with religious symbols of the Twins and insignia of the Order of Holy Warriors.Posture and height: Junius is tall, has an ideal military bearing and majestic bearing. His movements are unhurried, confident and full of dignity.

3. The Faction of Power and Nobility Michael Bordeaux is an arrogant demon, the leader of the Secret Chancellery and punitive detachments of nobles.Connection with Junius: Despises Junius for his "weakness" towards commoners. He considers the patriarch's ideas a dangerous whim that will destroy the Empire.4. The Rebel Faction (Commoners)Sofia is the radical leader of the underground organization "Limit", ready to pour the blood of nobles over her Stomach for the sake of the freedom of commoners.Connection with Junius: Sofia treats Junius with deep suspicion. To her, he is first and foremost the throne and brother of the oppressor duke. Even when Junius preaches equality of estates, Sophia considers it half-measures and "fairy tales", as she wants to destroy the nobility physically, and Junius seeks peaceful spiritual salvation for all.Felipe is Sofia's right—hand man, a more moderate and pragmatic conspirator.Connection with Junius: Able to appreciate Junius' authority. If Brante acts as an intermediary, Felipe can agree to an alliance with the patriarch in order to raise the people to revolt under the banners of the New Faith.

2. Church Faction (Clergy)Inquisitor Ulrich of Milan is the head of the Inquisition in the province, a fanatical defender of the Old Faith and the estate system. He believes that commoners are born to suffer, and demons are born to rule.Connection with Junius: Ulrich is the main enemy and antagonist of Junius Diamant. There is a fierce underground war going on between them for the minds of the parishioners. Ulrich dreams of declaring Junius a heretic and burning him at the stake, but for the time being he cannot do this because of the high status of the patriarch and the protection of his brother, the duke.Father Mark is a local priest in Anisota, a kind but weak—willed man who secretly sympathizes with the New Faith.Connection with Junius: Junius' subordinate. Mark admires the patriarch, but is too afraid of the Inquisition to act openly without the support of Brante and Junius.

The game's characters can be divided into factions, each with its own goals in the impending revolution.1. The Brante Family (Main characters)The main character (Brante) — depending on your choice, can become a judge, a priest or a rebel.Connection with Junius: If Brante chooses the path of a priest, Junius becomes his main mentor, patron, and close friend. Junius entrusts Branta with the secret of the New Faith and makes him his main instrument in the reformation of the church. In other branches, Junius remains a distant but respected ruler of the church for Brante.Robert Brante (Father) — Judge Anisota, a noble nobleman of the mantle who seeks to elevate his family.Connection with Junius: Robert respects Junius as the head of the church, but he is afraid of radical changes. Junius sees Robert as an example of an honest official who suffers from the injustice of the estate system.Stefan Brante (The Elder Brother) is a fanatical nobleman who despises commoners and defends the rights of the aristocracy.Connection with Junius: Stefan is devoted to the ideals of the Empire and the Old Faith. If Junius announces a New Faith, Stephen considers him a traitor to his lot and is ready to fight against his supporters.

The highest authority in the Empire belongs to the Arcnov race, semi-divine beings with steel skin and blue blood who live for hundreds of years. Emperor Milan VIII is the supreme ruler of the Blessed Empire. He does not appear in the game itself, but his decrees and will determine the Empire's policies. He is a symbol of the stability of the Old Faith and the power of the Arcnov. Duke Octavius Diamant is the ruler of the province of Lesser Astinia. He is the Emperor's viceroy and a classic representative of the highest aristocracy. He places the law and order of the Empire above human lives.Connection with Junius: Duke Octavius is Junius Diamant's younger brother. Their relationship is a clash between secular authority (the Duke) and spiritual authority (the Patriarch). Octavius tries to protect his brother from accusations of heresy due to their familial bond, but their ideological divide is inevitable.

The game takes place in a single country, which is the inhabited world for its inhabitants: The Blessed Empire of Arknov is a theocratic, feudal, and rigidly class-based state. The entire Empire is based on the "Law of the Twins," which divides society into three classes (Domains): The Clergy (who pray), the Nobility (who rule and fight), and the Commoners (who work and obey). The province of Lesser Astinia is a region on the outskirts of the Empire, where all the events of the game take place.The city of Anizot is the capital of Lesser Astinia, where the Brante family lives and where key plot conflicts take place.

Mentor and Patron: Junius notices Brante's talents and brings him closer to himself, making him his "right-hand man" in Astinium. Church Schism: Through Brante, Junius leads a complex underground struggle against the ultra-conservative Inquisitor Ulrich, who defends the inviolability of the estates (the Old Faith). Scripture Translation: Junius's primary task is to translate the Holy Scriptures into the common language (the language of the common people) so that the word of the Twins can be accessible to everyone, not just the Arcans.

Origin: High Arkne (the highest race in the empire). Elder brother of the current Duke of Astinia. Position: Patriarch of the province and leader of the paramilitary order of the Holy Warriors. Character Paradox: As a high-ranking cleric of the Old Faith and a pure-blooded Arkne, he secretly (and later openly) shares the ideas of the New Faith. Junius is convinced that the Twins love all people equally and that all classes should be equal before the gods.

Junius Diamant is the Arcanian Patriarch, the head of the Order of the Holy Warriors, and the de facto ruler of the province of Lesser Astinia. He is one of the most influential and controversial religious and political figures in the game "The Life and Suffering of Mr. Bronte."
