Mugen, or commonly known by his alias as Takamune Yūma (高尊勇真) or Go Kang-jin (고강진), is an awakened human-hybrid male from Earth, and the founder of Orientia. He was formerly the President of Orientia, and currently holds the title as the elder of Argos, the guildmaster of Reaper Guild and the founder of Panon. Born in a Southeast Asian country of Old Asia, Mugen is the second most powerful awakened in the Realms of the Multiverse, having awakened his own ability at a young age and was one of a prodigy in controlling Qi to some certain extent where he was able to combat well-trained soldiers and small militias. Later in life, he was contacted by the Hurites and brought New Eden for training and experiment.

Personal Life

Early Life

Mugen (real name unknown) was born on 27 August, in a tropical Southeast Asian country ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the first child of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ born government official, and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. He lived in Japan for a while, but later came back to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, where he grew up with his younger sibling in the neighborhood of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, in the city of ▇▇▇▇▇▇. His alias "Yūma" is a name given by his teacher in Japan, while his surname "Takamune" was chosen by himself when he worked in Japan.

Teenage Years

Mugen's teenage life was mostly unknown, as it was either not recorded, or destroyed during The Great War. Researchers were also unable to obtain information as any interview attempts regarding the topic has been abruptly ended, or deliberately avoided by Mugen himself. Recent archival findings claimed he obtained red belt in Taekwondo during school years and was trained in Pencak Silat when he was 10.

Mugen awakened his first ability in high school where he was shocked by electricity while he tried to repair a faulty cable line for a projector. His ability was triggered by this very event, where a few days later he'd accidentally cause a power outage in school, which, fortunately, only Tianshi noticed. After his awakening, his sole focus was only to train his own power until he was able to fully control and understand it. In high school, he was approached by Tianshi, who was an awakener as well, to form Urban Jungle, a vigilante-animal-themed superhero team, and took the name Manux. During his university years, he left Urban Jungle to focus on his own growth, where he often trained near electrical sub-stations. He finally mastered his own ability right before his graduation.

Adult Years

Mugen initially worked as as a programmer in various companies, until in 2025, he left the job and decided to study abroad in South Korea. He graduated with a masters degree in Educational Technology from Andong University. Right after his graduationin 2027, he found his own edtech company Panon, where he, along with his friends developed an AR mobile application named "Looxup", aimed to help students in learning (later acquisitioned in 2031 by Intra Platforms). A year later, he moved and back and decided to establish the company headquarter in South Korea, where he'd eventually meet his first wife, Freya.

Golden Circle

New Eden Contact

In 2037, approximately a year after The Great Calamity in New Eden, the Hurites, known as the descendant of Seth who went to other star system, were bound on a mission to find suitable candidate across the universe to use the Heavenly stone, a stone that was believed to be descended from heaven. A tiny part of the stone itself also exist on Earth, known by humans as Hajar Aswad. Mugen was proved to be a suitable candidate, and was brought to New Eden.

During his years in New Eden, Mugen went through rigorous training to withstand the power of the stone. Years later, Mugen finally implanted the stone on his chest, and his body was obliterated by the power of the stone after a few minutes of resistance. Although seem dead, Mugen was rather alive in electromagnetic form. He slowly reassembled his physical body through a series of partial bodily reappearances: first as a disembodied nervous system, including the brain and eyes; then as a circulatory system; then a screaming partially muscled skeleton. Each time, the appearance only lasts for a few seconds.

And finally, by 2039 (of Earth time), Mugen assembled his full body, and was seen shirtless, while glowing in a gold hue, levitating on top of Nefesh hill near the town of Arut, New Eden. It is not known if his clothes were destroyed due to the stone's power, or just because he was unable to assemble a clothing. The stone granted him power near the level of Celestials, granting him control over space, reality, time, energy, and soul. Despite the powerful capabilities, he had to maintain a stable emotion and extort tremendous amount of strength and Qi to use all power of the stone at the same time. He was sent back to earth a few months before the Third World War. When Tianshi was killed by the Devil, he was in charge of the human-awakener faction and successfully weakened the Devil temporarily. After Tianshi's resurrection, they both fought together and finally liberated the Earth by 2040.

Ruling Years

After Amenria's independence, there was a political conflict between Mugen and Tianshi, where Tianshi was on monarchist faction and Mugen was on republican faction. The political conflict ceased for a while, but Mugen was growing the seeds of rebellion throughout Amenria, by gathering awakeners and founded the rebel organization Rising Dawn. The rebellion reached its peak in March 11, 2043 where the rebels stormed the capital. The day was marked as the beginning of War of the Dusk and Dawn.

Mugen fought Tianshi in his palace, resulting in the destruction of the entire land of Central Chinese plains. The fight lasted for a month, until they finally reached a ceasefire and agreement in April 2043. Mugen decided to found a nation, fully separated from the theocratic empire of Amenria. As soon as the war ended and Orientia gained independence, Rising Dawn members, along with Mugen, took control of the newly-made government and changed the name of the group to Argos. Mugen stepped up as a president for the newlyfound nation, but he later stepped down in 2047, giving his presidency seat to Yoo Jong-hyun (also known as "Sword Saint"). He remained his position as the elder of Argos and as the guildmaster of Reaper Guild.

Family

In 2026, Mugen married a former Japanese singer, Nakamura Kaede. They have two children, Takamune Yūto (born 2027) and Takamune Tsuki (born 2029). Later in 2030, he married a former Korean singer and actor, Choi Hye-rin.

Religion

Mugen was born into a muslim family, and throughout his life, he went to religious school, prominently ▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ primary school and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ high school. Many scholars claimed he's a sunni muslim, and a follower of Shafi'i school. Although, he himself clarified that he is "just a muslim", not specifying his denomination.

Powers

Heavenly stone

Heavenly stone is an immensely powerful gem-like objects tied to different aspects of the universe, created by God. The stone itself was originally a single, dark-coloured stone, but was shattered at some point in the past (most likely after Adam's banishment to Earth). One of them was used as a way to channel energy from Earth to the Heavens. In 2038 (Earth time) Hurites finally took all the fragments of the stone and fuse it together, and implanted the stone on Mugen's body. By default, Mugen is capable of controlling electromagnetism and technology, however, the stone has amplified his body and ability to match that of the weakest Celestials.

Being a divine stone that holds a tremendous amount of energy, only Celestials and carefully-experimented, gifted metahuman hybrid beings such as Mugen can wield it. Lesser beings would face dire consequences, as the stone requires a tremendous amount of life force, strength and Qi, including a stable , balanced emotional spectrum at the same time. From this stone, he obtained limited control over reality, space, time and all kinds of energy in the universe, from which, he made two ultimate abilities:

Infinite Room

Infinite Room (Japanese: 無限空間 Mugen Kūkan) is an ultimate ability that allows Mugen to concentrate his internal energy to the maximum, then lets off a powerful lightning which rips the fabric of space and time. He then proceeds to launch his opponent into this thing, the intent being that opponents caught into this will wander endlessly inside a limbo between time and space with no opportunity to return.

Heaven's gate

Heaven's Gate (Japanese: 天国の門 Tengoku no Mon) is Mugen's another ultimate ability that allows him to connect reality with a sub-space where he stored a seemingly-infinite amount of cosmic energy. By opening an "invisible door" between them, this ability allows him to shape the energy into explosive projectiles, as many as 300 projectiles.

Abilities

Expert Tactician

Mugen, while a somewhat brash tactician, every so often made many split-second tactical decisions that either saved people's lives or overpowered his adversaries.

Calm State

Mugen can enter into or is always calm, serene and relaxed regardless of the situation(s) or what happens to himself or around him. His body, mind, heart and soul are always perfectly clear and relaxed, and his mental fortitude and endurance is unbreakable/unyielding no matter what is happening. This render him capable of using the Heavenly Stone.

Expert Combatant

Mugen was trained in both Taekwondo and Pencak Silat, making him have an extensive understanding of combat and an innate encyclopedic knowledge in hand-to-hand and melee fighting styles. Therefore capable of understanding and analyzing opponents' style of combat and flaws in the opponent's attack and defense.

Computer Expert

As a programmer, Mugen has went through training and is an expert at computers and everything connected to them, including hacking, coding, programming, fixing bugs/viruses, cracking passwords, etc.

Multilingualism

Mugen is fluent in English, Indonesian, as well as Korean and Japanese.

Peak Human Intellect

Mugen is more intelligent than most of his species, or at least able to use his brain more efficiently and effectively either by being naturally gifted and trained himself for the needed shortcuts, possessing a high IQ of around 144.

Peak Human Smell

Mugen's sense of smell is pushed to the highest limits of human perfection. Mugen is naturally born with the capability that can rival the wolves being capable of using their sense of smell to attain blindsight as well as illusions awareness, and good tracking abilities, as well as lie detection through chemical that are released, and pregnancy perception because of pheromones and shapeshifting awareness through particular type of smell of a person and also empathy because of pheromones.

Weaknesses

Sensory Overload

Being naturally born with the capability of enhanced smelling, this heightened ability often gives Mugen an olfactory overload where he'd easily struggle with breathing. As a result, Mugen often wears a mask to prevent this, especially when fighting.
