	Kristoph led the PHIA Phorce to the Mages' Tower where he shared his insight on where the Dark Mage had been hiding along with the rest of the crew of the MRS Macbeth - a place called the Toxic Ship Graveyard. They teamed up with [[Blacktide]] and brought along [[Alphonse Reefwood]], one of Kristoph's former mentees. They traveled aboard the ''MRS Orpheus'' into the Toxic Ship Graveyard where they soon encountered the Oberon Pirates. While they managed to defeat them, the Dark Mage sabotaged the MRS Orpheus, rigging it into a collision course with some nearby wreckage. With Kristoph's powers strained, Alphonse stepped in to save the PHIA Phorce, but at the cost of his own powers.

With Kristoph's powers strained, Alphonse stepped in to save the PHIA Phorce, but at the cost of his own powers. But with the Dark Mage defeated, Kristoph now more seriously considered moving to Yeddo permanently.

			===Moving to Port Oraulan===
			Following the [[2021 AB Oberon Pirates Incursion]], Kristoph decided to permanently move to the planet [[Yeddo]] believing that he could be more effective for the [[PHIA Phorce]] in person. With the [[Dark Mage]] now defeated, he felt free enough to be able to pursue such an endeavor.

			Scouting ahead, Kristoph used his usual vrNet projection to appear in [[Port Oraulan]] so that he could search for a place to live. He managed to find an apartment suitable for his needs located within a short distance from [[Mimi's Milkshakes]]. It was an ideal spot considering it would be much easier to meet in person with the rest of the [[PHIA Phorce]]. Though it was very modest compared to his childhood home aboard the ''MRS Odyssey'', it served his purposes well enough. He went with a two bedroom suite, with the other room being dedicated to his collection of virtuoarchaeological artifacts. With there being far more Valerian ruins on Yeddo than on Merin, he hoped to eventually expand upon his collection, especially with the help of the PHIA Phorce.

			After physically arriving in Port Oraulan, Sophia and Angela greeted him in the same fashion as they did on Merin - Sophia with a hug and Angela nearly tackling him. But now that he was on Yeddo, it was time for Kristoph to finally try some Mimi's Milkshakes in person.

			After Mimi took everyone's orders and served milkshakes to everyone, Sophia and Angela were particularly astonished that Kristoph ordered three sets of large, chocolate milkshakes topped off with whipped cream. His Merinian metabolism made quick work of them all. As Sophia and Angela were awestruck by Kristoph's appetite, Mimi declared Kristoph her best customer.

			Kristoph was suddenly reminded that Clara had asked him awhile ago to take her to Mimi's Milkshakes in person. That was now a possibility. As he got settled in to living in Port Oraulan, he was intent at fulfilling that promise.

	Being quite the looker, it is not uncommon for Kristoph to encounter women who will casually flirt with him. However, he is rather oblivious to their advances most of the time much to their dismay.		Being quite the looker, it is not uncommon for Kristoph to encounter women who will casually flirt with him. However, he is rather oblivious to their advances most of the time much to their dismay.
			==Skills and Abilities==
			Kristoph's primary skill is his neural interface to control clouds of nanobots which he keeps stored in a wand or staff that he carries with him. With the power of thought alone, he can think the nanobots to take virtually any shape he needs. For example, he can materialize platforms to step up on or to use as a barrier. He can also launch the nanobots as blunt objects or have them dissipate into gusts of projectiles that move at high speeds. The only limitation to this ability is his own creativity, the number of functional nanobots in his possession and the mental energy to form said nanobots into the shapes he requires. He can strain his mind if he pushes himself too hard, but over the years, he has gotten more mentally resilient. He can recharge himself with enough rest.

			Performing the telepathic commands requires only his thoughts, but in practice, he usually performs hand movements to help focus himself and to keep his balance. The gestures he makes helps to guide the nanobots certain ways.

			In most situations, he carries a wand though staves are used if he expects a more intense encounter - as staves can hold more nanobots. The nanobots also wear and tear after a long time of use where they become less receptive to commands. This can usually be remedied by either replacing his weapon or by allowing his wand/staff to perform its self-repair function on the damaged nanobots. In a pinch, should he find himself short on nanobots, he is also trained in using the wands and staves as blunt weapons.

			Kristoph's avatar projection is also comprised of nanobots. As such, he can interact with the physical world even from lightyears away, and he can use all of his inherit nanomage abilities. The one thing he cannot do remotely is experience developed sensations. Due to bandwidth limits of the vrNet server he is using, certain sensory information such as smells and touch are severely limited. For example, while he can still eat food remotely, he derives no nourishment from it and experiences only a small percentage of the sensations from eating food in person.

	Through a chance encounter, Kristoph met [[Sophia Delphi]] and [[Angela Harrison]] at the University of Oraulan's library. There, he found that they had improperly acquired a Valerian data crystal. He agreed to keep quiet about it on the condition that they let him in on what they learn about it. This eventually led through to a chain of events that eventually resulted in him teaming up with them along with Angela's father [[Joshua Harrison]] in stopping the [[Cult of Kronos]], a [[cybernephrine]] dealing gang.

			Sophia, Angela, Kristoph and Joshua decided to compete in the [[Games Arena]] to earn money to pay off debts. It was at this time the group received the official monikor of PHIA Phorce. They were tasked with facing the [[Arena 5]], a group of powerful arena champions. Kristoph was tasked with facing [[Clara Zauberin]], a powerful nanomage whom he managed to defeat. He would also team up with the rest of the PHIA Phorce to face the arena's final opponent, [[T-R3X]].

			After the tournament, the PHIA Phorce joined an afterparty at Star Shell Beach. Kristoph, however, remained relatively quiet. Sophia encouraged him to talk to Clara who had been feeling particularly lonely. The two had a quiet moment at a nearby patio.

During summer vacation, Sophia and Angela decided to visit the planet Merin to meet Kristoph in person. After a brief adjustment period to being on another planet, the group toured several landmarks of Merin. Aboard a cruise ship, however, an unusually aggressive Merinian kraken attacked.

	Although Kristoph excelled in his studies, the political situation in Merin had grown worse during the early 2010s AB. Tensions with the rest of the [[Federation of Stellar Systems]] were at an all time high, and the other noble houses were on the verge of war. At the time, [[Virtuoso]] had recently introduced the technology of consciousness backups to the Federation, the ability to preserve a person's mind as digital data. All the different houses were discussing using the technology to create clones of their nanomages to raise an army. Kristoph was hesitant about it due to the potential of it being misused, but due to mandates from the nanomage program, he was forced into doing so. The clones were not yet produced into physical entities just yet, but the data of various nanomages was recorded for later use.

At the time, [[Virtuoso]] had recently introduced the technology of consciousness backups to the Federation, the ability to preserve a person's mind as digital data. All the different houses were discussing using the technology to create clones of their nanomages to raise an army or perhaps to have a way rudimentarily bring back lost soldiers from the dead.

The clones were not yet produced into physical entities just yet, but the data of various nanomages was recorded for later use.

	In a hope to ease tensions, the Federation chose to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of its founding across the galaxy by having simultaneous festivals across the [[vrNet]]. Kristoph took part in the festival being held in Merin and had the chance to wind down after the tensions of the nanomage program. The festivities, however, were shortlived when [[Mithran Aquarius]], the king of Merin, was assassinated. With House Oberon threatening to forcibly seize the throne, the other noble houses deployed their fleets for combat. In response, Kristoph volunteered himself to join the Merinian Navy in hopes of defending his home. Though he was nervous about it, he knew that it was what he signed up for after becoming a nanomage.

Since he was a child, he was raised as a nanomage, an individual augmented with a neural interface allowing for telepathic control over clouds of nanobots that can be manipulated to form different shapes and be moved at different speeds. He projects himself on the planet [[Yeddo]] using a [[vrNet]] avatar made of hardlight where he attends the [[University of Oraulan]].

	~~During the war, his family had made~~ a consciousness backup of him in the event that something terrible were to happen to him. However, when the enemy forces eventually captured the Langusten province, they used the stored consciousness backup to create an exact clone of Kristoph, except warped to serve their purposes. This clone eventually came to be known as the [[~~Dark Mage~~]]~~, a ruthless nanomage mercenary that effectively embodied all~~ of Kristoph's darkest thoughts and attributes. This Dark Mage went on to commit multiple crimes which caused the public to confuse him with Kristoph. Although the Dark Mage was in fact a separate person, the local police assumed that because they were essentially the same person mentally, Kristoph would still be considered a risk. Thus, Kristoph had no choice but to go into hiding. He resides under the ocean at the bottom floor of the Mages' Tower.

	~~Kristoph, while in hiding, used the [[vrNet]] to project himself on the planet [[Yeddo]], starting a new identity as a researcher at~~ the [[University of Oraulan]]~~. While over there, a chance encounter with [[Sophia Delphi]] lead to him joining the [[PHIA Phorce]]. He hopes to eventually find and capture the [[Dark Mage]] to clear his name~~.

	==Skills and Abilities==		==Skills and Abilities==
	Kristoph's primary skill is his neural interface to control clouds of nanobots which he keeps stored in a wand or staff that he carries with him. With the power of thought alone, he can think the nanobots to take virtually any shape he needs. For example, he can materialize platforms to step up on or to use as a barrier. He can also launch the nanobots as blunt objects or have them dissipate into gusts of projectiles that move at high speeds. The only limitation to this ability is his own creativity, the number of functional nanobots in his possession and the mental energy to form said nanobots into the shapes he requires. He can strain his mind if he pushes himself too hard, but over the years, he has gotten more mentally resilient. He can recharge himself with enough rest.

	At the age of eleven, Kristoph began showing an aptitude for mathematics and spatial awareness. He would soon be selected for the [[nanomage]] program where, after undergoing specialized training, would become augmented with the ability to telepathically control nanobots with his mind. He would enter a boarding school hosted at the Mage's Tower where he would learn to use his newfound powers.

	===~~Pre-War Tensions~~===		===Virtual Wars Ground Zero===
	Although Kristoph excelled in his studies, the political situation in Merin had grown worse during the early 2010s AB. Tensions with the rest of the [[Federation of Stellar Systems]] were at an all time high, and the other noble houses were on the verge of war. At the time, [[Virtuoso]] had recently introduced the technology of consciousness backups to the Federation, the ability to preserve a person's mind as digital data. All the different houses were discussing using the technology to create clones of their nanomages to raise an army. Kristoph was hesitant about it due to the potential of it being misused, but due to mandates from the nanomage program, he was forced into doing so. The clones were not yet produced into physical entities just yet, but the data of various nanomages was recorded for later use.

	~~TBA~~		In a hope to ease tensions, the Federation chose to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of its founding across the galaxy by having simultaneous festivals across the [[vrNet]]. Kristoph took part in the festival being held in Merin and had the chance to wind down after the tensions of the nanomage program. The festivities, however, were shortlived when [[Mithran Aquarius]], the king of Merin, was assassinated. With House Oberon threatening to forcibly seize the throne, the other noble houses deployed their fleets for combat. In response, Kristoph volunteered himself to join the Merinian Navy in hopes of defending his home. Though he was nervous about it, he knew that it was what he signed up for after becoming a nanomage.

			Kristoph took on a support role during the initial stages of the war. He would be assigned to protect fishing ships and other civilian vessels from the crossfire as House Oberon engaged in direct naval combat with House Titania. For the most part, Kristoph managed to stay out the frontlines although he did have an encounter with some pirates that tried to seize control of a fishing vessel. Using his nanobot powers for the first time in a live environment, he manged to ward them away.

			===The Dark Mage===
			During the course of the war, the database containing the consciousness clones was breached. The Merin Kingsguard managed to apprehend the hacking group, and they ordered the destruction of the database to prevent any further harm. However, one particular entry in the database remained unaccounted for. There was no record of Kristoph's consciousness clone actually getting deleted. While the Kingsguard assured him that it was taken care of, he remained skeptical.

			Not more than a few months later, the Kingsguard suddenly arrested Kristoph on the charges of piracy. He was being accused of not only stealing the ''MRS Macbeth'' but also causing the destruction of an oil rig, resulting in catastrophic environmental damage in a region that would eventually become the Toxic Ship Graveyard. These reports were based on eyewitness claims, but after further investigation, they discovered that it was actually a mysterious individual impersonating him. Despite Kristoph's name being cleared, the actions of this imposter were enough to drag House Langusten directly into the war as House Titania held them responsible regardless.

			Kristoph was determined to track down the imposter himself. While the authorities warned him how to dangerous it could be, he decided to go anyway, traveling on his own. The path eventually led to him encountering the [[Oberon Pirates]], a breakaway faction from House Oberon who was far more open to engaging in criminal activity and underhanded deals. These pirates were aboard the stolen ship, the ''MRS Macbeth'', and among the crew was an individual that looked identical to how he did, a rogue hardlight construct that assumed his identity - a being known as the [[Dark Mage]]. While Kristoph had discovered who the imposter was, he was outnumbered and had no chance of winning against them.

			Kristoph barely managed to escape. However, only a short time after he fled, he got word that the pirates destroyed the ship he grew up on, the ''MRS Odyssey'', to spite him. While his family survived with minor injuries, his childhood home was gone forever. Blaming himself for this failure, Kristoph resigned as a member of the Merinian Navy and exiled himself at the bottom floor of the Mages' Tower. He didn't feel he could face his family again after what happened, and he knew he wasn't strong enough to ever defeat the Dark Mage.
	===University of Oraulan===		===University of Oraulan===
			Although Kristoph was harsh himself, the truth of the matter was that his family forgave him what he did. Kristoph's mother convinced him he should start a new life somewhere, but given the unstable political state of Merin, it would perhaps be for the best to travel abroad elsewhere. Kristoph received a scholarship to attend the [[University of Oraulan]] on [[Yeddo]] as a reward for his service during the war. Despite technically being a noble, he had very little money to his name as House Langusten was not particularly rich. Therefore, he couldn't afford to permanentely move to Yeddo as the house market grew unstable following the war. Thus, the most practical option was to attend remotely by using a [[vrNet]] avatar.

			Kristoph had recently became interested in [[virtuoarchaeology]], not just from the mysteries of the [[Valerian Empire]], but also from the mathematics involved with it. Not to mention, virtuoarchaeology was now considered a money-making field as the prospect of uncovering lost treasures was tantalizing. Thus, be began his first term in 2019 AB, ready to start fresh in a brand new world. Kristoph held hope that the authorities would eventually apprehend the Dark Mage, but at the very least, his name was cleared from whatever crimes the Oberon Pirates had been committing.

	Kristoph's primary skill is his neural interface to control clouds of nanobots which he keeps stored in a wand or staff that he carries with him. With the power of thought alone, he can think the nanobots to take virtually any shape he needs. For example, he can materialize platforms to step up on or to use as a barrier. He can also launch the nanobots as blunt objects or have them dissipate into gusts of projectiles that move at high speeds. The only limitation to this ability is his own creativity, the number of functional nanobots in his possession and the mental energy to form said nanobots into the shapes he requires. He can strain his mind if he pushes himself too hard, but over the years, he has gotten more mentally resilient. He can recharge himself with enough rest.

 Being quite the looker, it is not uncommon for Kristoph to encounter women who will casually flirt with him. However, he is rather oblivious to their advances most of the time much to their dismay.
