Meet Emrys! Originally made to be Astro's brother (side character in the show), is now known as Vision in the world of GuardianView!
His story is still being worked on as I'll come back to edit this post with new info, mostly regarding Greek gods and myths. For now, I hope you enjoy his current story!

Emrys' Story (Simplified)
A crystal ball toon who was blessed by the Greek god Apollo at birth with the power to see into the future, but personally he'd call it a curse.
Emrys was sold away to the highest bidder the moment he was born due to him being a crystal ball and seen as a gift from the gods. He ended up being adopted into the Gnocchi Family and becomes Fritz's distant cousin. He was raised to be disciplined, to be a tool for the family's personal gain, but still treated with respect (surprisingly).
As mentioned in Fritz's backstory, Emrys grows up to be an important asset to the Gnocchi business thanks to his visions guiding the family to make the right choices but, following the string woven by fate, he couldn't stay put in one place with one job.
He becomes somewhat of a neutral party, not exactly a hero but no villain either. His powers although overpowered has it's consequences. He would occasionally help with small crimes here and there, but if his vision foresees an event that's destined to happen, then he can't interfere no matter how much he wants to.
What happens if he tries to? He saw a future where he did go against fate to save lives, but it didn't end well for him.
Some see him as a heartless monster when he turns a blind eye to someone's death or even be the cause of it himself, but fate isn't something to be messed around with. He's no god, only half really but he doesn't know that. He's only doing what his visions tell him to do and what not to do. Who is he to disobey his own destiny?
Hypnos / Astro
While he does know of the ancient hero's existence, he's yet to have a chat with him. Emrys doesn't know his true origins or that he's even related to Hypnos, why he was blessed or why it was him that was chosen at all, but to him that stuff isn't important. He's simply a slave to fate and he'd like to keep it that way.
Present Time
Emrys, now 28 years old, moves from city to city and never stopping in one place for too long but always makes a return to two specific cities; Garden City (his home) and Shirelock.
Despite having plenty of enemies, one little ink pipe stands out among them all. He foresaw his future and decides to humor him.
His Powers and Abilities
There is no limit to what he can or can't see. He can summon his visions at will, but do too much and his glass head can crack from the pressure.
Aside from his ability to see the future, he has no physical power to protect himself with. Thus he was trained since young with techniques and ways to protect himself.
His chosen weapon, a sturdy wooden staff with a crystal crescent moon wrapped on one end, is what provides him the power of telekinesis. (Think Jack Frost's staff) It's origins are yet to be known.
Weakness
Despite being blessed and well trained, his body is still that of a mortal. Being a crystal ball and thus made of glass makes him pretty damn fragile. His neck however is made of durable metal. Aiming for his head is your best chance at killing him.
He's also not as durable as other heroes. The only thing that's in the way of beating him is his future vision and quick wittedness as he's able to see your moves ahead of time and reacting appropriately.
The only way to kill him is if fate decides to cut his thread for good.
This here is an old design but I still wanted to include it. (Fun fact; Emrys LOVES jewellery!)
