The Equilibrium

"Balance can be divided, but never be aparted."

Shtaraxx, The Twin Equilibrium, is ranged intelligence hero who role power of variation effect that can be good or bad to enemy or ally or even to Shtaraxx themselves. Like a concept of dualism, most of abilities have many effect of buff and debuff that can be help to ally and strike enemy in the same time. And any their spells has link the effect from one another, make some complicate to use spell with high efficiency. Shtaraxx can use spell to enhance ally offensive properties but deteriorate to defensive or alternate with BALANCE DUAL but it is weaken to Shtaraxx themselves also. If use two spell in the meantime, it will make Shtaraxx easily to be killed by enemy. But it is compensate by creation of SPARK ORB that help Shtaraxx survived and enhance another spell, Thunder Crush and Contrary Dual Blast, stronger. Thunder Crush is can use to disable enemy or escape from danger. If Shtaraxx's position was ignored by enemy on a battlefield or given a time long enough, Shtaraxx can wipe out enemy and save life of ally by ultimate spell Contrary Dual Blast. By lacking of stat and very low armor that's make Shtaraxx stay support on behind line, waiting for opportunity to fight foes and help team.

Then they began to use it for first time, it's going well, but the magic is too powerful than they can't hold the ritual. It's suck every life's essence in all around field include them both into core, tear their body and soul, fuse them for days and nights then blast an explosion with huge area that destroy everything around leave nothing behind except one. The Equilibrium was born by unintentionally, a mystic creature in form of fox-like, four eyes and two tails, all cover with black and white fur. It's cries out with sound that mix of male and female human voice and talks to itself. After realize and learn that what happened, with the mind and memory, they call themselves as Shtaraxx, the one who carry of two souls, served of both dark and light, good and evil, peace and violence.
