| 13.8 Billion Years Ago|| [[Aeos]] creates the [[Spirit World]] and eternal spirits to dwell within it. These spirits create cities and civilizations, but after eons of existence, many become aimless and without form. | |||
|- | |||
| 300,000 BCE || Aeos begins his second creation: Earth and the human race. Humans are spirits, or souls, confined to mortal bodies. These souls constantly leak cursed energy, accelerated by the presence of negative emotions. Upon death, a human's soul ascends to Heaven. Some human souls are strong enough to perceive other spirits and manipulate cursed energy. Only about 1 in 10 million humans is born with this innate technique. Despite their mortal struggle, humans flourish on the face of Earth. Spirits take great satisfaction in observing the human way of life. | |||
|- | |||
| 4,000 BCE || | |||
===Sin Millennium=== | |||
[[Sin]], the strongest of the spirits, becomes jealous of the humans. He gathers an army of spirits and tears through the veil which separates the spirit and mortal planes. The humans stand no chance against Sin, as they cannot naturally perceive spirits. Sin conquers the humans and rules over them for a millennium. The [[Sindicate|Children of Eden]], also known as the Sindicate, is a group of humans who choose to serve Sin and worship him. | |||
|- | |||
| 3,000 BCE || | |||
===Sin War=== | |||
No spirit dares to oppose Sin, save for seven: Vael, Kath, Navi, Tenet, Esma, Hoph, and Fide. These spirits grieve for the humans and ask Aeos for power so that they might be able to oppose Sin. Aeos bestows upon each of them one of his heavenly virtues: patience to Vael, chastity to Kath, diligence to Navi, temperance to Tenet, kindness to Esma, humility to Hoph, and charity to Fide. The seven virtues lead the human armies in rebellion against Sin and his spirits. The ensuing conflict, known as the Spirit War, nearly decimates the entire planet. In a final show of strength, Sin nearly kills all seven virtues. But before Sin can destroy the virtues, they shred their forms and possess the body of a powerful human warrior named Raphael. Raphael wields the might of the virtues and defeats Sin, fracturing him into the Seven Artifacts of Sin. Each virtue agrees to dwell within one of the artifacts to weaken the influence of Sin. Raphael hides these artifacts across Earth and guards them with deadly trials and powerful shikigami. | |||
Aeos is deeply saddened by the destruction of his creation, and divides the spirit and mortal worlds so that cursed energy can no longer traverse the two. As a result, only human souls are allowed to pass through the divide. The remaining humans on Earth form twelve tribes: Olobuku, Meiyo, Isutita, Libertate, Prostates, Skjordr, Emunah, Mabadi, Comaperismo, Shantih, Zunzhong, and Nentlacatl. Raphael belongs to the Olobukun tribe, and he teaches his people how to defeat curses in preparation for their return. When Raphael passes, his children inherit his virtuous energy. | |||
After many years free from spirits, only the Olobukun tribe still believes in their existence. As humans once again flourish and their numbers grow, more cursed energy leaks into Earth. This energy gives birth to spirits who hate humanity for their being trapped on Earth: cursed spirits. These cursed spirits are in constant agony due to no longer being able to traverse the spirit plane. The appearance of sorcerers and spirits is so rare that to this day almost all humans live blissfully unaware of their existence. | |||
Upon Sin's defeat, the Children of Eden are exiled from human society, but secretly plot to free Sin from his bondage by combining all seven sin artifacts in a single vessel. The strongest member of the Children, known as the [[Emissary of Sin|Emissary]], is elected to act as a vessel for the sins every generation or so. They fight fiercely with the Olobukuns over the next several millennia. | |||

| 1976 || Crina Constantinescu, a member of the Children of Eden, chooses to flee for the sake of her unborn son, [[Pavel Constantinescu]]. | |||
|- | |||
| 1981 || The Emissary discovers Crina's whereabouts and executes her and her entire family as punishment. Unbeknownst to the Emissary, young Pavel survives due to his latent cursed energy healing. He is found by the Buzzutsu Council to be protected from the Children. He later assumes a prominent position within [[Buzzutsu Academy]] due to his powerful technique and takes on the name Mr. C. | |||

===Fall of the Sindicate=== | |||
Warren, age 11, emerges with a powerful cursed technique. The cult begins preparations to recover the Artifact of Envy and feed it to Warren. Before they can accomplish this, Olobukun and Buzzutsu sorcerers raid the Children's underground lair and slaughter its members. The Emissary is mortally wounded and accidentally bloodsteps into the Spirit World. After the battle, Pavel finds a barely alive Warren clutching the corpses of his brother and sister. Pavel sees himself in Warren, and takes pity on him. The Olobukun sorcerers approach Warren, but Pavel orders them to stand down. The Olobukuns protest, insisting that the chosen vessel for Sin cannot be left alive. Unwilling to allow Warren to die, Pavel kills the remaining members of the Olobukun tribe, save for | |||

. | |||
Pavel chooses to guide the boy towards a better path, enrolling him in Buzzutsu Academy. He adopts Warren, who lives with him until he is old enough to inherit his parent's house. Pavel lies to Warren, telling him that it was the Sindicate who killed his parents. Deeply troubled by the deaths of his family, Warren recreates his siblings as benevolent spirits. As much as he tries, he is unable to recreate his parents in a way which pleases him. | |||
|- | |||
| July 2024 || | |||
===Warren Learns the Truth=== | |||
At age 20, Warren discovers a secret message within his father's writings. This prompts him to search the house thoroughly, and he discovered a study hidden beneath the house's foundation. He learns the truth about his parents' involvement in the Sindicate, their deaths, and his destiny as the vessel of Sin. Additionally, he discovers the Artifact of Envy in the study. The journal of Warren's father reveals that he was hesitant to sacrifice his son, hiding the fact that he had claimed the Artifact of Envy from the Sindicate. | |||
Warren returns to the scene of the Sindicate headquarters, only to find Pavel there waiting for him. Pavel confirms Warren's suspicions about his parents and attempts to console him, but Warren cannot help but feel betrayed. Pavel allows Warren to take some time off from the academy. | |||
|- | |||
| August 10, 2024 || While Warren is with Caspian, Melanie, [[Jackson Washington|Jack Washington]], and [[Troy Demasters]] at the UTC mall in Bradenton, Florida, he separates from the group. With the Artifact of Envy in hand, Warren contemplates whether he ought to consume its power. He can hear the voice within it calling out to him, begging to be opened. It is then that Warren decides what has to be done. He calls out to his brother and sister and entrusts them with the truth of his parents and the betrayal of Pavel. Caspian is hesitant, but the two agree to join him on his quest for justice. With that, he consumes the Artifact of Envy and becomes the vessel for Envy. | |||

====UTC Massacre==== | |||
= | |||
===UTC Massacre=== | |||
With Envy's power, Warren unleashes his powerful “Brain Rot” technique in the UTC mall, corrupting Jack, Melanie, and Caspian, and killing 57 others. This corruption grants those who survive it cursed techniques, but allows Warren to exert control over their minds. Troy is in the bathroom when Warren unleashed Brain Rot, and hurries back to find a barely-alive Jack on the ground. However, before he can do anything, a shadowy figure appears and renders Troy unconscious. Troy inexplicably survives, possibly by activating Midnight Steel, an advanced form of his technique, or because Warren spares him. Mr. C and [[Elysia Fielding]] find Troy in the aftermath of the massacre and remark on his exceptional potential. | With Envy's power, Warren unleashes his powerful “Brain Rot” technique in the UTC mall, corrupting Jack, Melanie, and Caspian, and killing 57 others.

====Funeral==== | |||
Two weeks after the UTC Massacre, a funeral is held for Warren, Melanie, Caspian, and Jack. At the funeral, a guilt-stricken Troy meets [[Diego de la Vega]] and [[Nicole Brooks]], students of [[Buzzutsu Academy]] (abbreviated BZA), a secret institution for sorcerer training. They introduce Troy to Mr. C, who Troy deduces was the man who taught Warren how to use his technique. Mr. C invites Troy to study at Buzzutsu Academy, and he accepts, wishing to avenge his fallen friends. | |||

| August 26, 2024 || | |||
====Devious Lick==== | |||
The next morning, [[Kimberly Hall|Kim Hall]], administrative assistant at BZA, arrives with Diego and Nicole to pick up Troy. On their way to the academy, Kim receives a call from [[Duncan Cypher|D. Cypher]] alerting the group to a curse sighting at nearby [[Pinebrook Elementary School]]. Kim argues that it would be irresponsible to bring Troy to the curse and that she should first drop him off at the academy. However, Diego, Nicole, and Troy convince her to drive to Pinebrook Elementary. | |||
Troy, Diego, and Nicole rush into the school and encounter the [[Devious Lick]], a bipedal curse with a monstrous appetite. Despite their efforts, its skin is impervious to their attacks. Nicole devises a strategy to implant a bookunai into one of Diego's squid constructs, luring Devious Lick to consume the bookunai and reveal its weak spot. While Diego distracts Devious Lick, Troy enters it from within and Nicole directs him towards its soul. While inside Devious Lick, Troy finds four children trapped inside. He experiences a flashback of his deceased friends and has an anxiety attack. Troy is eventually able to locate the soul and exorcise the curse. He then passes out and is cared for by Elysia. | |||
====Tour of Buzzutsu Academy==== | |||
A strange voice wakes Troy up in the Infirmary of the Academy. Shortly afterwards, Diego and Nicole take him on a brief tour of the Academy. They start in the cafeteria and eventually move to North Wing, where the classrooms are. There he meets part-time staff [[Addison Lancaster]]. Additionally, Troy meets [[Renzo Ramirez]] in the garage, and passes briefly by the Darkroom, Forge, and The Fashion Zone. He is shown the library and meets the scary librarian [[Eleanor Godwin]]. Troy sees the location of the vault and continues to feel eyes on him. The tour ends with Troy unpacking in his dorm room and reading a letter from Mr. C. | |||

Troy lays awake the morning of his first day of classes, thinking over his current situation. He eventually gets up and walks to his first class. On the way he runs into Elysia and thanks her for healing him. The two talk, and Elysia tries to cheer Troy up. He then asks her some questions, such as how her staff works and how she ended up at the Academy. Elysia talks for a bit and then tells Troy she is just doing her best to create a peaceful world. After they talk, Diego and Nicole walk up to Troy and go with him to his first class. [[John Briggs|Coach Briggs]] calls out Troy for not paying attention. The new student thinks about how time is moving slowly and that this semester was going to be a long one. | |||

The | ====Chicken Man Rampage==== | ||
The [[Purge Corps]], a classified branch of the US military which employs sorcerers to fight curses, approaches Buzzutsu Academy with incapacitating the rogue [[Chicken Man]] curse loose in a government facility. [[Ezekiel Delmar|Captain Ezekiel Delmar]] explains that the organization's sorcerers are all tied up with more important matters and so he needs to contract the academy for this job. Chief scientist [[Mikhail Mrchofrey|Doctor Mikhail Mrchofrey]] briefs Troy, Diego, and Nicole on the mission. They successfully defeat Chicken Man, but he transforms into a large indestructible egg. Before they can investigate, Dr. Mrchofrey appears and dismisses them from the facility. | |||

====Magnus Joins the Academy==== | |||
Troy takes a morning run at [[Ricketts Glen State Park]]. When he gets back, Ms. Godwin busts him for using the think tank without permission. When he returns to the courtyard, there is some commotion. Diego takes this moment to introduce Troy to [[Bagwis Navarro|Bagwis]], [[Lily Valladares|Lily]], [[Duncan Cypher|Duncan]], and [[Sasha Finlay|Sasha]]. Mr. C's reputation as the strongest leads [[Magnus Ulthane]] to transfer to Buzzutsu Academy as its first international student. When he arrives, he seeks to challenge each student to a sparring match in order to prove his strength as a sorcerer. After besting many of the students, he asks Troy to fight him, but Troy is reluctant. However, Magnus goads Troy into a fight and the battle is much closer than anyone anticipated. Because of Troy's strength, Magnus grows to respect him. Magnus spars with Mr. C and is handily defeated. | |||

====Diego's Magnum Opus/Morgana Repairs Caduceus Staff==== | |||
Diego's older brother, [[Fenix de la Vega]], visits Buzzutsu Academy. The two of them catch up. Fenix has a meaningful exchange with Mr. C. The brothers decide to go to the comics store. After an hour of browsing, a curse appears outside. The two brothers handily defeat it and return to the Academy. | |||
After Fenix leaves, Diego talks to Elysia. She shares a story with him of what happened earlier that day. Meanwhile, Magnus has accidentally broken Elysia's caduceus staff. Elysia asks [[Morgana Cole|Morgana]] if she can repair it for her. Morgana says she can, but needs Elysia to go out and collect an assortment of materials first. Elysia takes Renzo with her to find everything on the list. Diego and Fenix spend the day together and eventually visit a comic book shop. While they are there, a curse materializes outside and Fenix defeats it easily by using "Reverse Lethality" on a comic book. Elysia and Renzo struggle to find the last material on Morgana's list: limited edition potato chips sold out in every store. After driving all through the night, they finally find the last bag at a remote convenience store, but just as Renzo grabs one end of it another customer grabs the other end. Renzo becomes visibly upset and starts changing his gear, scaring the customer. Elysia apologizes and the two leave with the bag of chips. Morgana reveals that the chips were not necessary for the repairs and that she just wanted them, to the bemusement of Elysia and Renzo. We see Diego working on his magnum opus: a painting of him and his brother. | |||

====Renzo Leaves the Academy==== | |||
At the academy, Troy has a nightmare about a snake, who defeats him and berates his weakness. After the nightmare, he wakes up in a cold sweat. His guilt drives him to travel to Warren's grave and apologize for not moving away with him. Eventually, Renzo shows up and takes him to the [[Blue Rose Speedway]]. Renzo reveals that his true passion is working on cars, and that he only participated in the academy because he felt like he had to. He claims that he never wanted to be a hero and that he feels more fulfilled with his girlfriend and her son outside of the Academy. Troy agrees with Renzo, saying that he's only at the academy as a means to avenge his friends, and says he's making the decision to leave too. However, Renzo tells Troy that he's wrong, and that he has grown to connect with the people at the academy and find purpose there. While Troy thinks on this, Rose shows up, and reveals she has been watching Troy. She encourages him and reveals something big is going on related to the UTC Massacre. Troy is convinced and says he's going back to the Academy. | |||
=== | ====Raphael versus the Emissary==== | ||
In her eight years in the Spirit World, the Emissary learns that [[Raphael|Gabriel de Leon-Mensah]], one of three remaining Olobukuns, poses a danger to the Earth in that he is a capable vessel of the Seven Deadly Sins. She conceives of a plot to goad Gabriel into tracking down the Artifacts of Sin. She then tracks down the three remaining Olobukuns to their home in Umbwe, Tanzania. She ambushes and kills Lateo de Leon-Mensah and Nia de Leon-Mensah while their son, Gabriel, is at work. When Gabriel returns, he finds the bodies of his parents. His father, Lateo, is barely alive, and with his dying breath entrusts Gabriel to defeat Sin. Gabriel exits his house and finds the Emissary waiting for him. She explains the millennia-long conflict between the Sindicate and the Olobukuns, then tells Gabriel that the Olobukun line will end with him. She uses her teleportation powers to bring Gabriel to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and tosses him an axe with which to defend himself. Gabriel has unlocked his dormant virtuous energy, and is able to defeat the Emissary. Gabriel tells the Emissary that he will find the Seven Deadly Sins and put an end to Sin once and for all. The Emissary gives a crooked smile before Gabriel leaves her to die. Gabriel changes his name to Raphael and embarks on his journey to defeat Sin. | |||
Later that day, Mr. C confronts a dying Emissary and the two discuss the condition of the world. Then, the Emissary dies. | |||

====Girls Shopping Trip/Shikigami Shenanigans==== | |||
Rose reveals that she feels uncomfortable out in the world since the academy is all she's known from an early age. The other girls comfort her, and Nicole decides to take them all on a girls' shopping trip since they are so often secluded in the academy. There are massive sales at UTC because nobody wants to return to a previous massacre ground, so the girls go for both the deals and to investigate. | |||
Diego creates a shikigami rabbit and names it Mylo. Everyone thinks Mylo is great until it starts creating a mess of Buzzutsu Academy. Meanwhile, Bagwis is upset with Diego because Mylo tore through his favorite shirt. Lily comforts Bagwis and the Buzzutsu sorcerers devise a way to capture Mylo. The girls return to the academy, find it a total mess, and decide to go back out for ice cream. | |||

====Omen Breaches The Academy==== | |||
The cyberized [[Omen]] curse hacks into Cypher's curse tracking software and creates fake cursed energy signatures to lure the Buzzutsu sorcerers out of the academy. The academy splits off into three pairs to subdue the curses: Troy and Rose, Diego and Bagwis, and Nicole and Sasha. When each pair reaches their designated location, they are ambushed by a powerful curse. Troy and Rose face off against Chicken Man in a forest. Diego and Bagwis face off against [[Confine]] in an abandoned office building. Nicole and Sasha face off against [[Mirage]] on the beach. Meanwhile, Cypher contends with Omen digitally and exorcises him within the program. He tries to warn the sorcerers that they are walking into an ambush, but he is too late. However, each pair is able to combine their strengths in order to defeat the curse threat. [[Connor Castillo]], a curse disguised as a human sorcerer, pretends to have been a captive of Chicken Man and asks Troy if he can join Buzzutsu Academy. Troy feels sorry for Connor and accepts his request. | |||

====Mystery of Ammiton==== | |||
Troy, Diego, Nicole, and Connor are sent to investigate the disappearances of several people on [[Bununu Island]] off the Florida coast. The villagers claim they can hear singing and see a blue light outside their windows at night. The elder priest, [[Father Reagan]], suggests that God is passing judgment on the people of the village. The sorcerers stay in the home of [[Carlos Olivera]] while they look into the disappearances. They discover that the true cause of the murders is [[Ammiton]], a curse born of zealous judgment. He resembles a monstrous angler fish, but disguises himself as a beautiful angel to lure in his victims. Connor mutters Ammiton's name, but the others are unsure how he knows it. The sorcerers attempt to thwart the curse over several days but are unsuccessful, for it inexplicably disappears at daybreak. In their off time, they spend some time relaxing at the beach. | |||
One night, Troy hears a crash as Carlos is lured out of the house by the blue light. He hurriedly wakes the others and they follow Carlos to the sea, where Ammiton is waiting. Nicole is prepared this time, and pretends to be lured by Ammiton in order to shove a bookunai into his gut. This spooks Ammiton away, and Nicole has a vision of someone looking out from atop the nearby lighthouse. The four run to the lighthouse and confront Father Reagan, who has been controlling Ammiton with a cursed object. The priest reveals himself to be a curse user who has tasked himself with cleansing the island of its wickedness. He uses the cursed object to summon Ammiton and a battle ensues. The sorcerers defeat Father Reagan and recover the cursed object. A withering Ammiton mutters a final word: "deceiver." | |||
Father Reagan is detained by the sorcerers and brought back to the academy. After Father Reagan is questioned by the teachers, Connor confronts him. Father Reagan says that he will reveal Connor's true identity to the academy unless he allows him to escape. In response, Connor kills Father Reagan and stages it as a suicide. | |||

====Confronting Raphael/Raphael and Wrath==== | |||
Despite protests from Mr. C, the teachers at Buzzutsu Academy agree that it is time they determine whether Raphael poses a threat. Raphael completes the Trial of Wrath and consumes the Artifact of Wrath before being confronted by Mr. C, Coach Briggs, Mrs. Lancaster, and Mrs. Godwin. They attempt to talk him down, but are forced to fight him, in part due to Wrath's influence over Raphael. | |||
=== | ====Jack Attack==== | ||
Fenix arrives at the academy, having been called by Mr. C to look after the academy while he's gone. This upsets Magnus, who believes he is strong enough to defeat any threat by himself. Suddenly, the barrier protecting the academy disappears and a swarm of curses attacks the academy. Troy, Diego, and Nicole are told to stay behind and guard the vault while the other sorcerers battle outside. Eventually, anxiety gets the better of Diego and he runs off to join the fight. Nicole begins rigging a bookunai to shoot out at anyone who enters the vault so she too can help. Troy decides to stay and fulfill his duty. | |||
Bagwis, Lilly, and Lenny fight against [[Joey Pepper]], a curse who churns out corrosive Dr. Pepper, while Sasha and Cypher hold off the minor curses. Fenix fights against Chicken Man and kills him. Diego runs to help, but is stopped by Jack, who has been transformed by brainrot. Diego is injured by Jack and is about to be killed by him, but Fenix appears and saves his brother's life. | |||
Nicole runs out, but before she can do anything, [[Drew Scott]] creates portals which transport Bagwis, Lilly, Lenny, Sasha, and Cypher into [[Spirit World#The Eaze|The Eaze]]. Troy hears Rose screaming in the academy and hurries to go save her, seeing that Connor has restrained her. Connor reveals his true form, Deimos, the curse of lies. Troy momentarily activates Midnight Steel due to his heightened emotions, frightening Deimos and causing him to run away. Troy tends to Rose and holds her. Caspian enters the vault and steals the [[COVID-19]] cursed womb. | |||
Jack has a harder time against Fenix and deems him worthy to die by Nisshoku. They enter a Mexican standoff, with Fenix assuming a finger gun stance loaded with his Null Set technique, and Jack with his Nisshoku ready to be drawn. They wait until the flickering hallway light goes out until both engage. The light goes out and in a blink of an eye Jack kills Fenix. As Fenix falls to the ground, Diego sees that half of Jack's body has been atomized by Null Set. Jack meets Diego’s eyes briefly before being retrieved by Caspian. | |||
Meanwhile, Magnus confronts Melanie, who is encased in melanite. Magnus states that he cannot kill a woman and will only immobilize her. She takes advantage of his conceit and is able to match him blow for blow, driving him back. However, when Jack is injured by Fenix, Melanie calls a retreat and the assailants escape atop the [[Drake Worm]] with COVID. | |||
====Raphael versus Buzzutsu Instructors==== | |||
Raphael, possessing the sins of Sloth, Gluttony, and Wrath, handily defeats all the Buzzutsu instructors save for Mr. C. Mr. C hits him with his domain expansion, but Sloth solves the pop quiz. Mr. C tries one more time to explain to Raphael that his path is dangerous for everybody, but then receives a call that BZA is under attack. He chooses to take a gamble on Raphael and tells the younger sorcerer that he will let him go but keep an eye on him. | |||

The teachers return to the academy after their fight with Raphael, but they too are hurt badly, save for Mr. C. Diego lashes out at the teachers, blaming them for leaving and causing his brother's death. | |||
The only students in any fighting shape are Troy and Nicole. They agree to pursue the Drake Worm before the curses are able to unleash COVID. Diego wants to avenge his brother, so Morgana fits him with a prosthetic. | |||
Nicole tells the others that her bookunai trap did not work, but secretly she has been having strange visions ever since the attack. Troy, Nicole, and Diego leave with Rev and follow the cursed energy trail in the sky left behind by the Drake Worm. | |||
Meanwhile, on the Drake Worm, Caspian has been experiencing headaches. The bond between him and Nicole is clouded by Warren's brainrot. However, the effects of brainrot are weakening for some reason, possibly due to Jingle. Melanie suspects Drew Scott of double-crossing them, but he denies this. Suddenly, something attacks the Drake Worm, sending it crashing to the ground. The curses are surrounded by [[Silas A. Greaves]] and his crew of curse users. Drew Scott escapes through a portal, but the others are apprehended and brought to Silas' curse prison. | |||

=== | ===Arc 3: Civil War=== | ||
Couple month time skip after Arc 2. After the battle with Warren, Connor attempts to take over the government. The Purge Corps tries to take him down before this happens, but he slaughters them all except for Zeke Delmar. Zeke witnesses Connor tell a lie that allows him to be President of the United States, so he lays low and waits for an opportunity to expose him. | |||
Buzzutsu Academy, now in shambles and attempting to rebuild, is divided. Some support Connor and his seemingly legitimate takeover of the government. He promises peace, stability, and coexistence between cursed spirits and humans. His policies are also rather effective. However, some say that coexistence is impossible, and oppose such efforts of integration. Others distrust Connor and his tendency to double cross, lie, and change reality (even if they do not yet realize his presidency is a lie). | |||
At some point, mercenary [[Nova|Supernova]] is hired to take out Connor. Troy is at first against Connor, whom he blames for the corruption of Warren. He eventually gets over his blind hatred and sees the good in what Connor is doing. Diego, after processing the death of his brother and witnessing destruction of the Academy, just wants stability and peace, so he sides with Connor. Nicole is distrusting of Connor, and through her merging with Jingle becomes aware that his presidency is a result of one of his lies, so she opposes him. | |||
Eventually, after a drawn out conflict with lives lost as accidental, collateral damage, people come to accept that what Connor is doing is good for the world. In return, Connor learns how to be human and begins to care for the lives he is affecting. He then steps down and appoints [[The Old Kanye]], his vice president, as his replacement so that he can be less powerful but still involved in his ideals. | |||

During the events of Arc 3, other areas of the world are concerned with the release of the Sins. Lust is in South America (Brazil), Gluttony in Africa, Greed in Northern Europe, Wrath in Rome, Pride in China, and Sloth in Indonesia. Following the events of Arc 3, the Buzztsu Academy sorcerers are summoned by the Buzzutsu Council to help aid the others countries in the effort to defeat the Sins.

Before the Series
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 13.8 Billion Years Ago | Aeos creates the Spirit World and eternal spirits to dwell within it. These spirits create cities and civilizations, but after eons of existence, many become aimless and without form. |
| 300,000 BCE | Aeos begins his second creation: Earth and the human race. Humans are spirits, or souls, confined to mortal bodies. These souls constantly leak cursed energy, accelerated by the presence of negative emotions. Upon death, a human's soul ascends to Heaven. Some human souls are strong enough to perceive other spirits and manipulate cursed energy. Only about 1 in 10 million humans is born with this innate technique. Despite their mortal struggle, humans flourish on the face of Earth. Spirits take great satisfaction in observing the human way of life. |
| 4,000 BCE |
Sin MillenniumSin, the strongest of the spirits, becomes jealous of the humans. He gathers an army of spirits and tears through the veil which separates the spirit and mortal planes. The humans stand no chance against Sin, as they cannot naturally perceive spirits. Sin conquers the humans and rules over them for a millennium. The Children of Eden, also known as the Sindicate, is a group of humans who choose to serve Sin and worship him. |
| 3,000 BCE |
Sin WarNo spirit dares to oppose Sin, save for seven: Vael, Kath, Navi, Tenet, Esma, Hoph, and Fide. These spirits grieve for the humans and ask Aeos for power so that they might be able to oppose Sin. Aeos bestows upon each of them one of his heavenly virtues: patience to Vael, chastity to Kath, diligence to Navi, temperance to Tenet, kindness to Esma, humility to Hoph, and charity to Fide. The seven virtues lead the human armies in rebellion against Sin and his spirits. The ensuing conflict, known as the Spirit War, nearly decimates the entire planet. In a final show of strength, Sin nearly kills all seven virtues. But before Sin can destroy the virtues, they shred their forms and possess the body of a powerful human warrior named Raphael. Raphael wields the might of the virtues and defeats Sin, fracturing him into the Seven Artifacts of Sin. Each virtue agrees to dwell within one of the artifacts to weaken the influence of Sin. Raphael hides these artifacts across Earth and guards them with deadly trials and powerful shikigami. Aeos is deeply saddened by the destruction of his creation, and divides the spirit and mortal worlds so that cursed energy can no longer traverse the two. As a result, only human souls are allowed to pass through the divide. The remaining humans on Earth form twelve tribes: Olobuku, Meiyo, Isutita, Libertate, Prostates, Skjordr, Emunah, Mabadi, Comaperismo, Shantih, Zunzhong, and Nentlacatl. Raphael belongs to the Olobukun tribe, and he teaches his people how to defeat curses in preparation for their return. When Raphael passes, his children inherit his virtuous energy. After many years free from spirits, only the Olobukun tribe still believes in their existence. As humans once again flourish and their numbers grow, more cursed energy leaks into Earth. This energy gives birth to spirits who hate humanity for their being trapped on Earth: cursed spirits. These cursed spirits are in constant agony due to no longer being able to traverse the spirit plane. The appearance of sorcerers and spirits is so rare that to this day almost all humans live blissfully unaware of their existence. Upon Sin's defeat, the Children of Eden are exiled from human society, but secretly plot to free Sin from his bondage by combining all seven sin artifacts in a single vessel. The strongest member of the Children, known as the Emissary, is elected to act as a vessel for the sins every generation or so. They fight fiercely with the Olobukuns over the next several millennia. |
| 1962 | Vetra becomes the Emissary of Sin. |
| 1976 | Crina Constantinescu, a member of the Children of Eden, chooses to flee for the sake of her unborn son, Pavel Constantinescu. |
| 1981 | The Emissary discovers Crina's whereabouts and executes her and her entire family as punishment. Unbeknownst to the Emissary, young Pavel survives due to his latent cursed energy healing. He is found by the Buzzutsu Council to be protected from the Children. He later assumes a prominent position within Buzzutsu Academy due to his powerful technique and takes on the name Mr. C. |
| 2004 | Katherine Majors gives birth to triplets: Warren Majors, Melanie Majors, and Caspian Majors. She and her husband, Victor Majors, are prominent members within the Sindicate. |
| 2015 |
Fall of the SindicateWarren, age 11, emerges with a powerful cursed technique. The cult begins preparations to recover the Artifact of Envy and feed it to Warren. Before they can accomplish this, Olobukun and Buzzutsu sorcerers raid the Children's underground lair and slaughter its members. The Emissary is mortally wounded and accidentally bloodsteps into the Spirit World. After the battle, Pavel finds a barely alive Warren clutching the corpses of his brother and sister. Pavel sees himself in Warren, and takes pity on him. The Olobukun sorcerers approach Warren, but Pavel orders them to stand down. The Olobukuns protest, insisting that the chosen vessel for Sin cannot be left alive. Unwilling to allow Warren to die, Pavel kills the remaining members of the Olobukun tribe, save for . Pavel chooses to guide the boy towards a better path, enrolling him in Buzzutsu Academy. He adopts Warren, who lives with him until he is old enough to inherit his parent's house. Pavel lies to Warren, telling him that it was the Sindicate who killed his parents. Deeply troubled by the deaths of his family, Warren recreates his siblings as benevolent spirits. As much as he tries, he is unable to recreate his parents in a way which pleases him. |
| July 2024 |
Warren Learns the TruthAt age 20, Warren discovers a secret message within his father's writings. This prompts him to search the house thoroughly, and he discovered a study hidden beneath the house's foundation. He learns the truth about his parents' involvement in the Sindicate, their deaths, and his destiny as the vessel of Sin. Additionally, he discovers the Artifact of Envy in the study. The journal of Warren's father reveals that he was hesitant to sacrifice his son, hiding the fact that he had claimed the Artifact of Envy from the Sindicate. Warren returns to the scene of the Sindicate headquarters, only to find Pavel there waiting for him. Pavel confirms Warren's suspicions about his parents and attempts to console him, but Warren cannot help but feel betrayed. Pavel allows Warren to take some time off from the academy. |
| August 10, 2024 | While Warren is with Caspian, Melanie, Jack Washington, and Troy Demasters at the UTC mall in Bradenton, Florida, he separates from the group. With the Artifact of Envy in hand, Warren contemplates whether he ought to consume its power. He can hear the voice within it calling out to him, begging to be opened. It is then that Warren decides what has to be done. He calls out to his brother and sister and entrusts them with the truth of his parents and the betrayal of Pavel. Caspian is hesitant, but the two agree to join him on his quest for justice. With that, he consumes the Artifact of Envy and becomes the vessel for Envy. |

Arc 1: Buzzutsu Academy | |
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| August 10, 2024 |
UTC MassacreWith Envy's power, Warren unleashes his powerful “Brain Rot” technique in the UTC mall, corrupting Jack, Melanie, and Caspian, and killing 57 others. This corruption grants those who survive it cursed techniques, but allows Warren to exert control over their minds. Troy is in the bathroom when Warren unleashed Brain Rot, and hurries back to find a barely-alive Jack on the ground. However, before he can do anything, a shadowy figure appears and renders Troy unconscious. Troy inexplicably survives, possibly by activating Midnight Steel, an advanced form of his technique, or because Warren spares him. Mr. C and Elysia Fielding find Troy in the aftermath of the massacre and remark on his exceptional potential. |
| August 25, 2024 |
FuneralTwo weeks after the UTC Massacre, a funeral is held for Warren, Melanie, Caspian, and Jack. At the funeral, a guilt-stricken Troy meets Diego de la Vega and Nicole Brooks, students of Buzzutsu Academy (abbreviated BZA), a secret institution for sorcerer training. They introduce Troy to Mr. C, who Troy deduces was the man who taught Warren how to use his technique. Mr. C invites Troy to study at Buzzutsu Academy, and he accepts, wishing to avenge his fallen friends. |
| August 26, 2024 |
Devious LickThe next morning, Kim Hall, administrative assistant at BZA, arrives with Diego and Nicole to pick up Troy. On their way to the academy, Kim receives a call from D. Cypher alerting the group to a curse sighting at nearby Pinebrook Elementary School. Kim argues that it would be irresponsible to bring Troy to the curse and that she should first drop him off at the academy. However, Diego, Nicole, and Troy convince her to drive to Pinebrook Elementary. Troy, Diego, and Nicole rush into the school and encounter the Devious Lick, a bipedal curse with a monstrous appetite. Despite their efforts, its skin is impervious to their attacks. Nicole devises a strategy to implant a bookunai into one of Diego's squid constructs, luring Devious Lick to consume the bookunai and reveal its weak spot. While Diego distracts Devious Lick, Troy enters it from within and Nicole directs him towards its soul. While inside Devious Lick, Troy finds four children trapped inside. He experiences a flashback of his deceased friends and has an anxiety attack. Troy is eventually able to locate the soul and exorcise the curse. He then passes out and is cared for by Elysia. Tour of Buzzutsu AcademyA strange voice wakes Troy up in the Infirmary of the Academy. Shortly afterwards, Diego and Nicole take him on a brief tour of the Academy. They start in the cafeteria and eventually move to North Wing, where the classrooms are. There he meets part-time staff Addison Lancaster. Additionally, Troy meets Renzo Ramirez in the garage, and passes briefly by the Darkroom, Forge, and The Fashion Zone. He is shown the library and meets the scary librarian Eleanor Godwin. Troy sees the location of the vault and continues to feel eyes on him. The tour ends with Troy unpacking in his dorm room and reading a letter from Mr. C. |
| August 27, 2024 |
First Day of ClassesTroy lays awake the morning of his first day of classes, thinking over his current situation. He eventually gets up and walks to his first class. On the way he runs into Elysia and thanks her for healing him. The two talk, and Elysia tries to cheer Troy up. He then asks her some questions, such as how her staff works and how she ended up at the Academy. Elysia talks for a bit and then tells Troy she is just doing her best to create a peaceful world. After they talk, Diego and Nicole walk up to Troy and go with him to his first class. Coach Briggs calls out Troy for not paying attention. The new student thinks about how time is moving slowly and that this semester was going to be a long one. |
| September 4, 2024 |
Chicken Man RampageThe Purge Corps, a classified branch of the US military which employs sorcerers to fight curses, approaches Buzzutsu Academy with incapacitating the rogue Chicken Man curse loose in a government facility. Captain Ezekiel Delmar explains that the organization's sorcerers are all tied up with more important matters and so he needs to contract the academy for this job. Chief scientist Doctor Mikhail Mrchofrey briefs Troy, Diego, and Nicole on the mission. They successfully defeat Chicken Man, but he transforms into a large indestructible egg. Before they can investigate, Dr. Mrchofrey appears and dismisses them from the facility. |
| September 8, 2024 |
Magnus Joins the AcademyTroy takes a morning run at Ricketts Glen State Park. When he gets back, Ms. Godwin busts him for using the think tank without permission. When he returns to the courtyard, there is some commotion. Diego takes this moment to introduce Troy to Bagwis, Lily, Duncan, and Sasha. Mr. C's reputation as the strongest leads Magnus Ulthane to transfer to Buzzutsu Academy as its first international student. When he arrives, he seeks to challenge each student to a sparring match in order to prove his strength as a sorcerer. After besting many of the students, he asks Troy to fight him, but Troy is reluctant. However, Magnus goads Troy into a fight and the battle is much closer than anyone anticipated. Because of Troy's strength, Magnus grows to respect him. Magnus spars with Mr. C and is handily defeated. |
| September 16, 2024 |
Diego's Magnum Opus/Morgana Repairs Caduceus StaffDiego's older brother, Fenix de la Vega, visits Buzzutsu Academy. The two of them catch up. Fenix has a meaningful exchange with Mr. C. The brothers decide to go to the comics store. After an hour of browsing, a curse appears outside. The two brothers handily defeat it and return to the Academy. After Fenix leaves, Diego talks to Elysia. She shares a story with him of what happened earlier that day. Meanwhile, Magnus has accidentally broken Elysia's caduceus staff. Elysia asks Morgana if she can repair it for her. Morgana says she can, but needs Elysia to go out and collect an assortment of materials first. Elysia takes Renzo with her to find everything on the list. Diego and Fenix spend the day together and eventually visit a comic book shop. While they are there, a curse materializes outside and Fenix defeats it easily by using "Reverse Lethality" on a comic book. Elysia and Renzo struggle to find the last material on Morgana's list: limited edition potato chips sold out in every store. After driving all through the night, they finally find the last bag at a remote convenience store, but just as Renzo grabs one end of it another customer grabs the other end. Renzo becomes visibly upset and starts changing his gear, scaring the customer. Elysia apologizes and the two leave with the bag of chips. Morgana reveals that the chips were not necessary for the repairs and that she just wanted them, to the bemusement of Elysia and Renzo. We see Diego working on his magnum opus: a painting of him and his brother. |
| September 20, 2024 |
Renzo Leaves the AcademyAt the academy, Troy has a nightmare about a snake, who defeats him and berates his weakness. After the nightmare, he wakes up in a cold sweat. His guilt drives him to travel to Warren's grave and apologize for not moving away with him. Eventually, Renzo shows up and takes him to the Blue Rose Speedway. Renzo reveals that his true passion is working on cars, and that he only participated in the academy because he felt like he had to. He claims that he never wanted to be a hero and that he feels more fulfilled with his girlfriend and her son outside of the Academy. Troy agrees with Renzo, saying that he's only at the academy as a means to avenge his friends, and says he's making the decision to leave too. However, Renzo tells Troy that he's wrong, and that he has grown to connect with the people at the academy and find purpose there. While Troy thinks on this, Rose shows up, and reveals she has been watching Troy. She encourages him and reveals something big is going on related to the UTC Massacre. Troy is convinced and says he's going back to the Academy. Raphael versus the EmissaryIn her eight years in the Spirit World, the Emissary learns that Gabriel de Leon-Mensah, one of three remaining Olobukuns, poses a danger to the Earth in that he is a capable vessel of the Seven Deadly Sins. She conceives of a plot to goad Gabriel into tracking down the Artifacts of Sin. She then tracks down the three remaining Olobukuns to their home in Umbwe, Tanzania. She ambushes and kills Lateo de Leon-Mensah and Nia de Leon-Mensah while their son, Gabriel, is at work. When Gabriel returns, he finds the bodies of his parents. His father, Lateo, is barely alive, and with his dying breath entrusts Gabriel to defeat Sin. Gabriel exits his house and finds the Emissary waiting for him. She explains the millennia-long conflict between the Sindicate and the Olobukuns, then tells Gabriel that the Olobukun line will end with him. She uses her teleportation powers to bring Gabriel to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and tosses him an axe with which to defend himself. Gabriel has unlocked his dormant virtuous energy, and is able to defeat the Emissary. Gabriel tells the Emissary that he will find the Seven Deadly Sins and put an end to Sin once and for all. The Emissary gives a crooked smile before Gabriel leaves her to die. Gabriel changes his name to Raphael and embarks on his journey to defeat Sin. Later that day, Mr. C confronts a dying Emissary and the two discuss the condition of the world. Then, the Emissary dies. |

Girls Shopping Trip/Shikigami ShenanigansRose reveals that she feels uncomfortable out in the world since the academy is all she's known from an early age. The other girls comfort her, and Nicole decides to take them all on a girls' shopping trip since they are so often secluded in the academy. There are massive sales at UTC because nobody wants to return to a previous massacre ground, so the girls go for both the deals and to investigate. Diego creates a shikigami rabbit and names it Mylo. Everyone thinks Mylo is great until it starts creating a mess of Buzzutsu Academy. Meanwhile, Bagwis is upset with Diego because Mylo tore through his favorite shirt. Lily comforts Bagwis and the Buzzutsu sorcerers devise a way to capture Mylo. The girls return to the academy, find it a total mess, and decide to go back out for ice cream. Raphael and SlothRaphael completes the Trial of Sloth and consumes the Artifact of Sloth. |

Omen Breaches The AcademyThe cyberized Omen curse hacks into Cypher's curse tracking software and creates fake cursed energy signatures to lure the Buzzutsu sorcerers out of the academy. The academy splits off into three pairs to subdue the curses: Troy and Rose, Diego and Bagwis, and Nicole and Sasha. When each pair reaches their designated location, they are ambushed by a powerful curse. Troy and Rose face off against Chicken Man in a forest. Diego and Bagwis face off against Confine in an abandoned office building. Nicole and Sasha face off against Mirage on the beach. Meanwhile, Cypher contends with Omen digitally and exorcises him within the program. He tries to warn the sorcerers that they are walking into an ambush, but he is too late. However, each pair is able to combine their strengths in order to defeat the curse threat. Connor Castillo, a curse disguised as a human sorcerer, pretends to have been a captive of Chicken Man and asks Troy if he can join Buzzutsu Academy. Troy feels sorry for Connor and accepts his request. Raphael and GluttonyRaphael completes the Trial of Gluttony and consumes the Artifact of Gluttony. |
| October 11-15, 2024 |
Mystery of AmmitonTroy, Diego, Nicole, and Connor are sent to investigate the disappearances of several people on Bununu Island off the Florida coast. The villagers claim they can hear singing and see a blue light outside their windows at night. The elder priest, Father Reagan, suggests that God is passing judgment on the people of the village. The sorcerers stay in the home of Carlos Olivera while they look into the disappearances. They discover that the true cause of the murders is Ammiton, a curse born of zealous judgment. He resembles a monstrous angler fish, but disguises himself as a beautiful angel to lure in his victims. Connor mutters Ammiton's name, but the others are unsure how he knows it. The sorcerers attempt to thwart the curse over several days but are unsuccessful, for it inexplicably disappears at daybreak. In their off time, they spend some time relaxing at the beach. One night, Troy hears a crash as Carlos is lured out of the house by the blue light. He hurriedly wakes the others and they follow Carlos to the sea, where Ammiton is waiting. Nicole is prepared this time, and pretends to be lured by Ammiton in order to shove a bookunai into his gut. This spooks Ammiton away, and Nicole has a vision of someone looking out from atop the nearby lighthouse. The four run to the lighthouse and confront Father Reagan, who has been controlling Ammiton with a cursed object. The priest reveals himself to be a curse user who has tasked himself with cleansing the island of its wickedness. He uses the cursed object to summon Ammiton and a battle ensues. The sorcerers defeat Father Reagan and recover the cursed object. A withering Ammiton mutters a final word: "deceiver." Father Reagan is detained by the sorcerers and brought back to the academy. After Father Reagan is questioned by the teachers, Connor confronts him. Father Reagan says that he will reveal Connor's true identity to the academy unless he allows him to escape. In response, Connor kills Father Reagan and stages it as a suicide. |

Confronting Raphael/Raphael and WrathDespite protests from Mr. C, the teachers at Buzzutsu Academy agree that it is time they determine whether Raphael poses a threat. Raphael completes the Trial of Wrath and consumes the Artifact of Wrath before being confronted by Mr. C, Coach Briggs, Mrs. Lancaster, and Mrs. Godwin. They attempt to talk him down, but are forced to fight him, in part due to Wrath's influence over Raphael. Jack AttackFenix arrives at the academy, having been called by Mr. C to look after the academy while he's gone. This upsets Magnus, who believes he is strong enough to defeat any threat by himself. Suddenly, the barrier protecting the academy disappears and a swarm of curses attacks the academy. Troy, Diego, and Nicole are told to stay behind and guard the vault while the other sorcerers battle outside. Eventually, anxiety gets the better of Diego and he runs off to join the fight. Nicole begins rigging a bookunai to shoot out at anyone who enters the vault so she too can help. Troy decides to stay and fulfill his duty. Bagwis, Lilly, and Lenny fight against Joey Pepper, a curse who churns out corrosive Dr. Pepper, while Sasha and Cypher hold off the minor curses. Fenix fights against Chicken Man and kills him. Diego runs to help, but is stopped by Jack, who has been transformed by brainrot. Diego is injured by Jack and is about to be killed by him, but Fenix appears and saves his brother's life. Nicole runs out, but before she can do anything, Drew Scott creates portals which transport Bagwis, Lilly, Lenny, Sasha, and Cypher into The Eaze. Troy hears Rose screaming in the academy and hurries to go save her, seeing that Connor has restrained her. Connor reveals his true form, Deimos, the curse of lies. Troy momentarily activates Midnight Steel due to his heightened emotions, frightening Deimos and causing him to run away. Troy tends to Rose and holds her. Caspian enters the vault and steals the COVID-19 cursed womb. Jack has a harder time against Fenix and deems him worthy to die by Nisshoku. They enter a Mexican standoff, with Fenix assuming a finger gun stance loaded with his Null Set technique, and Jack with his Nisshoku ready to be drawn. They wait until the flickering hallway light goes out until both engage. The light goes out and in a blink of an eye Jack kills Fenix. As Fenix falls to the ground, Diego sees that half of Jack's body has been atomized by Null Set. Jack meets Diego’s eyes briefly before being retrieved by Caspian. Meanwhile, Magnus confronts Melanie, who is encased in melanite. Magnus states that he cannot kill a woman and will only immobilize her. She takes advantage of his conceit and is able to match him blow for blow, driving him back. However, when Jack is injured by Fenix, Melanie calls a retreat and the assailants escape atop the Drake Worm with COVID. Raphael versus Buzzutsu InstructorsRaphael, possessing the sins of Sloth, Gluttony, and Wrath, handily defeats all the Buzzutsu instructors save for Mr. C. Mr. C hits him with his domain expansion, but Sloth solves the pop quiz. Mr. C tries one more time to explain to Raphael that his path is dangerous for everybody, but then receives a call that BZA is under attack. He chooses to take a gamble on Raphael and tells the younger sorcerer that he will let him go but keep an eye on him. |

Sins Unleashed
WIP. This main arc chiefly deals with the aftermath of the Seven Deadly Sins being unleashed, as well as dealings with the Spirit World.
Arc 3: Civil War
Couple month time skip after Arc 2. After the battle with Warren, Connor attempts to take over the government. The Purge Corps tries to take him down before this happens, but he slaughters them all except for Zeke Delmar. Zeke witnesses Connor tell a lie that allows him to be President of the United States, so he lays low and waits for an opportunity to expose him.
Buzzutsu Academy, now in shambles and attempting to rebuild, is divided. Some support Connor and his seemingly legitimate takeover of the government. He promises peace, stability, and coexistence between cursed spirits and humans. His policies are also rather effective. However, some say that coexistence is impossible, and oppose such efforts of integration. Others distrust Connor and his tendency to double cross, lie, and change reality (even if they do not yet realize his presidency is a lie).
At some point, mercenary Supernova is hired to take out Connor. Troy is at first against Connor, whom he blames for the corruption of Warren. He eventually gets over his blind hatred and sees the good in what Connor is doing. Diego, after processing the death of his brother and witnessing destruction of the Academy, just wants stability and peace, so he sides with Connor. Nicole is distrusting of Connor, and through her merging with Jingle becomes aware that his presidency is a result of one of his lies, so she opposes him.
Eventually, after a drawn out conflict with lives lost as accidental, collateral damage, people come to accept that what Connor is doing is good for the world. In return, Connor learns how to be human and begins to care for the lives he is affecting. He then steps down and appoints The Old Kanye, his vice president, as his replacement so that he can be less powerful but still involved in his ideals.
Arc 4: World War Sin
During the events of Arc 3, other areas of the world are concerned with the release of the Sins. Lust is in South America (Brazil), Gluttony in Africa, Greed in Northern Europe, Wrath in Rome, Pride in China, and Sloth in Indonesia. Following the events of Arc 3, the Buzztsu Academy sorcerers are summoned by the Buzzutsu Council to help aid the others countries in the effort to defeat the Sins. However, these sins are causing wars between countries, making the conflict hard to navigate. With the help of new, diverse student sorcerers from around the world, the trio work to subdue the Sins once and for all.
