Description
Copen, initially known as "The Adept Slayer," hails from the prestigious Kamizono family as the older twin brother of Mytyl. His father, Dr. Kamizono, a Sumeragi Group scientist, concluded that Adepts—humans wielding supernatural "septimal" powers—represented an existential threat to humanity. Dr. Kamizono died during an experiment involving the Adept Asimov, covered up as an accident; Copen mistakenly blamed Sumeragi for orchestrating his father's death due to opposition to their Adept exploitation. Inheriting his father's research and weapon, "Border," Copen dedicated himself to eradicating Adepts, viewing them as inhuman monsters destined to subjugate humanity. He developed advanced combat gear and weaponry capable of replicating septimal powers by analyzing defeated Adepts. He operated independently with covert support from the family maid Nori, who provided training and resources without the Kamizono family's knowledge.
In early conflicts, Copen clashed with the Adept Gunvolt, rejecting alliances despite shared enemies like Sumeragi. His equipment included the "EX Gear" armor and shield, emphasizing technological prowess over innate powers. When his sister Mytyl was kidnapped by the Adept extremist group Eden, Copen intervened with revamped gear: the flight-capable "White Tiger Jacket," upgraded pistol "Border II," and the autonomous combat pod Lola, assisting in defense, mobility, and assimilating enemy abilities. During this mission, he discovered Mytyl possessed a "Muse" septima fragment that alleviated her chronic illness. Securing the fragment stabilized her condition, but he also learned she was an Adept, creating internal conflict. His hatred for Adepts remained, but he made Mytyl an exception. Following these events, he severed ties with his family, instructing Nori to declare him dead, and departed alone with Lola to continue his crusade.
In an alternate timeline where his efforts failed, Copen resurfaced decades later as "The Luminous Avenger iX" in a world dominated by Adepts. Now over 100 years old and cybernetically enhanced, he wandered a dystopian landscape protecting persecuted humans ("Minos") alongside Lola while searching for the elusive "Butterfly Effect." His personality shifted from fanatical hatred to detached indifference toward Adepts, though he maintained his mission to safeguard humanity's remnants. He allied with the human resistance leader Kohaku and her group, demonstrating protectiveness beneath his aloof demeanor. His armor gained modular capabilities: "Break Shift" for close-quarters combat with a buzzsaw-like "Razor Wheel," and "Bullit Shift" for high-speed aerial maneuvers. After neutralizing the Sumeragi Institute's leadership and the Butterfly Effect, he focused on private research, though interdimensional events later drew him into further conflicts.
Copen's character arc reflects evolving motivations—from vengeance-driven eradication to pragmatic protection—while retaining core traits: technological ingenuity, combat mastery, and a morally complex commitment to humanity's survival. His relationships, particularly with Lola and Mytyl, reveal a capacity for loyalty beneath his ruthless exterior.
