Observation is his real specialty.  Even in his own world, Haze isn't much of a fighter unless really needed.  So he'll study everyone in the tournament and slowly try to pick them off to make sure Crimson will survive per what the Council ordered...sorta.  While the Council sent Haze to replace Flare, that doesn't mean Haze has his own goal of trying to kill Crimson and Fang and Flare for their shards of Leonidas Soul.  

And yes, as you said, he's not really after the Ambrosia flower, so he's also a very valuable tool for anyone to use, that is if they convince him enough to team up.  But his main goal is still the Emperor Soul shards.  

Yeah, I do not remember any mention of a anti-magic barrier.  How would it affect the illusions anyways?  Would it put a limit on how long it will last?  And does that barrier even apply to Haze since he's a Corrupted Deity?  

Yeah, no.  Haze isn't aligned with the three in Forengard or Arithnia.  So yes, he's a wildcard.  (Come to think of it, I should have mentioned that in his form...that's pretty important stuff...)

I have a lore reason, but I don't know if you would really approve of it.  However I'll tell you anyways.  I have one council member in particular, NV (Null and Void) that are two souls in one and their power is to well....null and void magics.  So I don't know how well Forengard's magic would interact with magic from a whole different world, but for the sake of it, let's just say they gave Haze a one time use thing to get past the barrier?  I just thought of this on the fly.  

Yeah, I didn't want him to be apart of Crimson's team since not only, (like you said) it will cause problems, but also he's just there for the Shards.  Nothing more, nothing less.  

Oh, that's a good idea!  I like it!  

That's also a reason why I tend to only use Fang and Flare as support characters for Crimson.  While it's true that Fang doesn't really fight and Flare hardly does.  Their role is more literal in any universe.  Fang always plays the part of the servant and Flare is the advisor.  In terms of combat, if really needed, however, Fang is the Shield and Flare is the sword.  But again, it's hardly ever needed, so they only really accommodate Crimson.  

And as for Haze, he's never been one to fight.  So I'm not really sure how much I really need to nerf him since Fang, Flare and Haze aren't technically combatants unless warranted.  

Also, I like the idea of Foregard getting caught off by an unknown source of magic entering.  It's like a bio-energy field of sorts.

It'll be apparent that "Crimson" isn't Crimson.  If any problems arise then you're more than welcome to message me about it.  

I wonder if I can rename this thread...oh well, this'll be my general planning and notes for new O.C./Characters because why not. But I'll explain why.  As we know, Crimson uses powers of Judgement and Rebellion, which are never explained or shown.  Simply put, Crimson uses Rebellions power the most.  Which allows him to go against the natural order and flow of life.  That's how he passively overcomes the effects of Scale Rust without the Limiter.  Though that isn't without a cost.  If he chooses to do that, he is rendered practically immobile.  Whenever he does this, he often takes up a stance that looks like he is praying.  That aside, this power of Rebellion is also how he can move independent and act apart from the High Council.  This thus considers him within the criteria of the High Council as a "link" between the mortal and the immortal world.  Think of him like the Avatar from The Last Airbender.  Finally, Rebellion also grants Crimson access to a piece of the Rebel.  Who we know as Leonidas....   

It's only letting me edit the body.  I can't edit the title.
