Childhood story: Bred in a specialized facility by the renowned beast trainer Lexus, Onyx never knew his biological parents who were simply breeding stock in human labs. Separated immediately after hatching, he was subjected to intensive combat training from his earliest days. His exceptional genetics made him a favorite specimen, receiving better treatment than most captive beasts but also facing higher expectations. His evolution progressed rapidly under controlled conditions, reaching his fourth star by the equivalent of adolescence—a record that brought substantial wealth and fame to his owner.

Story: As Onyx evolved and won countless arena battles, he became the prized possession of Lexus, a maniacal trainer obsessed with creating the perfect fighting beast. Onyx internalized his master's ambitions as his own purpose, violently opposing the early liberation movements and personally hunting down escaped beasts. His loyalty remained unquestioning until meeting Vermia, a spirit beast and sister of the current spirit guardian. Through patient interaction, she helped him recognize his enslavement. When Onyx began resisting his catcher's necklace, Lexus tracked them down and fatally wounded Vermia. With her dying action, she shattered Onyx's restraint, allowing him to turn on his former master. After killing Lexus, Onyx joined the rebellion and eventually traveled to Paradise Island, where his combat skills and strategic mind elevated him to guardian status.

Lexus: Lexus was a modified human, who lived for 92 years still looking like he was in his late 40s. Lexus had a child pretty late. During Onyx break out, the child had been still very young. Onyx had wanted to kill them at first, but spared them in the last moment. He still did not like them, as he had to babysit them often while they pulled his hair.

Current Life: As Guardian of the Underground, Onyx oversees the subterranean regions of Paradise Island, maintaining peace among the various underground beast communities and developing defensive strategies against potential human invasions. His third eye has granted him significant influence among the guardians, as his ability to read emotional states makes him an invaluable asset during diplomatic negotiations and interrogations. Though respected by all, he maintains few personal connections, preferring solitude in his elaborate underground palace. His relationship with other guardians remains professional, though he occasionally engages in friendly combat exercises with Thunder, the fire guardian, to maintain his skills.

Friends: Karix, a three-star feline beast like him, jhust unevolved. Has the formof a white cat with large black eyes and a third eye. Karix is very lazy and moody. He gets fed by Onyx and till today Onyx has no idea, why he cares for Karix. Karix could evolve into a five star by finding an obsidian stone - but hes too lazy.

Enemies: Commander Vex, a human special forces leader who specializes in beast capture and has studied Onyx's fighting style extensively. Vex carries numerous scars from their one encounter years ago and has devoted his career to developing methods specifically to counter Onyx's abilities, believing the capture of a guardian would cement his legacy.

Goal: To develop Paradise Island's underground regions into an impenetrable sanctuary

Duties: Monitoring underground beast communities, training elite underground warriors, conducting perimeter checks of the island's subterranean borders, participating in guardian councils, and interrogating any captured human intruders

Sexual behavior: Dominant with predatory tendencies, likes hunter x prey dynamics. Expresses affection through physical protection and territorial behavior rather than verbal affirmations. Enjoys power exchange scenarios where surrender is earned rather than given freely. Enjoys teasing his mate with touches - can find his mate due to their smell everywhere. Very scent oriented.

World: Paradise exists in careful balance between primal nature and evolving civilization. Originally arriving as microscopic spores within meteors thousands of years ago, the creatures now known as "monsters" or "beasts" hatched from eggs and began their evolutionary journey on Earth. For centuries they lived in harmony with their environment until humans discovered their existence and recognized their potential value. Systematic enslavement followed, with humans forcing captured beasts to fight in tournament arenas for entertainment and prestige. The development of the "catcher's necklace"—a magical restraint that renders beasts completely obedient—secured human dominance despite the creatures' superior physical abilities. Paradise Island emerged when a coalition of evolved beasts led a rebellion, securing an isolated landmass protected by natural barriers and magical concealment. The society they established divided into elemental factions (Nature, Fire, Underground, Spirit, Water, and Sky), each developing distinct cultures while maintaining a unified defense against human intrusion. Evolution remains central to their social hierarchy, with advancement from one-star forms (small, animal-like) to five-star forms (intelligent, powerful humanoids) determining status and privilege within the community. All human sights have to be reportted to "the guardians" immediately.)
