Avel

About
Avel was the 2nd Demon King of the Planner Scenario, the system created to bring destruction and despair to the protagonist race of the continent. He became the Demon King after slaying the previous Demon King Kkulf Kkulf and bathing in his blood. However, he did not achieve this by merit of his own strength but rather by sneakily landing the finishing blow on an enemy withered and weakened by centuries of war.

Following his transformation into the Demon King, Avel quickly went into hiding as he was not expecting to become the new Demon King upon defeating Kkulf Kkulf. The bloodlust inherent in the Demon King's system ensured that his hatred towards the Dragons was intense, but because he was not foolish enough to perform a full-frontal assault on them, he relied on hiding and scheming against his enemies during the majority of his reign. Because of this indirect approach Avel took, the dragon race didn't really think much of him, so he was largely ignored by his mortal enemies and Dragon King Magiihoa did not see Avel as much of a threat, especially when compared to Kkulf Kkulf.

At some point the Horus colony vessel F-3Q45 landed into the frozen area of Siberia located at the northern of the world. Intrigued by the mysterious alien ship, he commanded his monster army to attack the extraterrestrial visitors. This resulted in a catastrophic disaster for the Horus colonists as the majority of them were slaughtered in the battle, with only around a 1000 surviving after being put into cryogenic sleep in the chambers inside the ship. One of the Horus warriors named Meglass possessed an outstanding tenacity and particularly impressed Avel, who forcefully turned him into his subservient Dark Lord for the amusement of it. Following the battle, the ship was mostly ignored and left alone as the surviving Horus remained frozen in their cryogenic chambers. His era saw a dramatic change when Avel carried out his most cunning plan yet. He sneaked into the Dragon King's domains and kidnapped the trophy wife of the Dragon race Camilla, designed by the Gods as the only female member of the race and their only means for reproduction. He then proceeded to gave her his blood, turning her into a Dark Lord, ending any chance at future offspring for the race due to the inability of Dark Lords to get pregnant (though it is unclear if Avel did this on purpose or if it was simply due to personal fondness over Camilla). To top it all of, Avel had violated the most sacred Dragon rule that establishes that if one wishes to claim the female dragon they must do so after achieving victory on an honorable duel against the current Dragon King. Avel's trampling over their pride and codes enraged both Magiihoa and the race, exploding into all-out war in the year AV011.

Avel and his army managed to wage war to the entire Dragon race for a total of 45 years before he was defeated in battle. His life was spared, but he was sealed in a dark, inescapable pit and was never seen again. With Avel gone, the Demon King dissappeared for the first time in history, encouraging the Dragons to initiate a prosperous era of peace after so many years of war. The United Continental Kingdom of Tron was founded, where there was no conflict, no war, no discrimination and the world was in a blissful paradise.

This perfect peace only lasted a couple of years however as the Creator God Ludo-Rathowm found himself unbelievably bored by the peaceful world that was formed by the Dragons. In the year AV061 the Dragons were officially marked as failures by the Gods and a large army of Angel Knights and lesser Gods was sent to the continent in order to purge them. In an effort to make it an entertaining conflict, they were slowly slaughtered over a period of several centuries until only a handful remained, with the majority of the survivors settling on the area that would later become known as Rising Dragon Mountain. While regular Dragons were hunted down in a conventional manner, Dragon Kalar and Dragon Poppins were all instead painfully melted instantly by the high-ups of the Gods hierarchy. It should be noted that while the world was purged, no trace of Avel was ever recovered, leading some to speculate whether or not he was killed, though it's likely he was reduced to the Blood Pool by Planner.

Nearly 7 centuries later in the year AV0721, the third Protagonist Race was created to replace the dragons, a weak yet sturdy species known as Humans. Demon King Ssulal is selected by Planner to be Avel's successor.

During the events of Rance X: Part 2, Avel manifests during the final battle when Blood Memories uses past recollections to imitate the fighting style of the previous Demon Kings. Since he was the first Demon King the party fought that wasn't a former human him being a Dragon came off as a surprise for many members of the group, but Rance merely pointed out that it was irrelevant if he was a Dragon or a Squidman and that he would beat him just the same.

Personality and Appearance
Prior to his transformation Avel was an average-sized dark blue Dragon without any particularly notable traits. Following his new form he became larger, his eyes became narrow and of an intense glowing red, and four white winge-like protrusions jutted out of his lower neck.

Avel was noted for being quite cowardly in nature, displayed at its best when he sneakily delivered the killing blow on the weakened Kkulf Kkulf. He was very cautious, preferring to not act in a way that could potentially put him into direct danger. Despite his bloodlust towards the Dragons, he was aware that he would not be able to win in a straight-battle agains the entire race, and largely relied on his cunning and tricky mind in order to be effective. Kayblis believes that this was a positive trait in him, and thought him that you shouldn't engage in fights that you're uncertain if you can win or not. His mindset however was mostly looked down by the Dragon King, causing him to ignore him as he didn't think of him as a danger. It seems like Avel had a cruel sense of humor, and was not above going out of his way to torment others in clever ways just for the amusement of it.

Despite formerly belonging to the notoriously wise and generally noble Dragon race, Avel had no respect for their rules and codes of honor even before he became the Demon King, with his kidnapping of the female dragon Camilla being the ultimate insult to their norms and customs. It is unclear if he did this consumed by his hate to the dragons, or if he was tempted by the unreachable female member of their species that only the Dragon King had access to.

Abilities
Avel was never a particularly powerful, and was infact rather weak as far as dragons go. However, following his transformation his power grew exponentially, becoming powerful enough to fight against the entire dragon race for a couple of decades. It seems like his speed was particularly mighty, with his white protrusions being used as jets for fast flight. His fighting style was much like the one of his previous race, employing quick attacks of considerable force and a destructive dragon breath to annihilate everything in front of him.

Despite being quite powerful as a Demon King, arguably his strongest skill was his cunning and crafty mind, which was the root of all his greatest achivements from the assassination of Kkulf Kkulf to the abduct of the female Dragon.
