My Alchemical Romance Q.U.E.S.T.
Oskar Duskshade
"Family is beyond blood."
Oskar Duskshade, called Ruin, is a fallen celestial paladin, noble, and adventurer bound to the Abyss and to the family that chose him. Stoic, confident, and loyal beyond blood, Oskar walks a path of prayer, preparation, and quiet rivalry.
