AUP server convo gave me Thoughts about MC's different identities as HSR Pathstriders. Spoilers ahead!
Heathcliff van Bretus: Abundance
Bro healed with godly miracles every time he got poisoned until he became immune, survived multiple assassinations and was constantly plagued by the voices of forgotten gods. Yaoshi would approve.
Jack the Ripper: Nihility
He debuffed all of Eileen's enemies until she became the official successor of the throne - enough said.
Abraham van Helsing: The Hunt
Honestly this assignment is just because he was a hunter.
Arsene Lupin: Nihility
Debuffed the nobles by theft.
James Moriarty: Destruction
He was inches away from laughing manically about making people pay the price and I think that's all that needs to be said !!!
Machiavelli: Erudition
Nothing says AOE quite like singlehandedly turning the tide of battle !!!
Ludger Cherish: Harmony
He buffs up:
his students' skills with pro teaching, discipline and by destroying their shitty parents verbally, and
Elisa Willow's faction by supporting her so she won't boot him out even though everyone thinks he's sus.
Oliver/Owner: Preservation
He protecc Royal Street and Owens. Enough said.
Honestly, Ludger as a whole gives Destruction unit vibes simply because he's truly high survivability and big pp damage with divine miracle gimmicks, but this is how I'd classify his more famous identities into different paths (like Dan Heng has in game).

academy's undercover professor AU! VAMPIRE
(Major Spoilers!)
13 years ago... He, Heathcliff Van Bretus is in the brink of death after falling off a huge pit. A follower of lumensis planned on killing the him because some people from the royal family felt threatened by his presence..
The young Heathcliff did not die from the fall but his head is injured and is bleeding excessively...
Heathcliff continued to cling to life despite knowing that no one will help him... maybe by the time there was someone out there, he might have been dead from bloodloss.. Or maybe one of the gods will bless him again, prolonging his life and suffering.
Even if the he healed from his injuries, he'll still be stuck in the deep pit, there is also no food nor water to consume..
His head throbs in pain and his vision is swirling around... The young boy's body is drenched in his own blood, pooling all around him.
Heathcliff stared up above, weakly clenching on a strange piece he found nearby.. His blurry vison saw the moon illuminating its serene appearance just above the deep pit..
It is only for a moment before his sight darkened.. "HoHo. I didn’t think there would be anyone here." But perhaps fate would not allow him to die.
Rudiger Cherish is a quarter vampire.. 13 years ago.. When he was just infront of death's doorstep, Grander found him..
Because of excessive bleeding, Grander then decided to feed him a very small amount of her precious blood from her small, pale wrist...
He healed instantly but it didn't come for free..They made a deal, she will feed him, shelter him and teach him while he will eventually grant her death.The blood he received turned out to have a side-effect on him..
As he eventually inherited her blood after a few nights..
He's an unusual case actually..
His skin became quite sensitive to the sun and consumes blood like his master.. Though he only consumes blood as an alternative method for treating his mana deficiency and fortunately, he doesn't go crazy for blood when he's thirsty...
He is no way near his master, a pure-blooded vampire.
He doesn't have immortality nor the ability to use her blood magic. She stated that he only inherited a few of a vampire's characteristics and is did not became an actual vampire like her.
His fangs are also quite small and less sharp than his master's fangs. They can't penetrate deep enough to tear a nerve, hence his masters frequent teasing of "baby teeth" everytime he brings the topic of drinking blood.
The seal helps him conceal some his vampire traits too.. His vampire traits, fortunately, didn't hindered his abilities.. His vampire blood didn't clash with the divine power and slightly enhanced his dark attribute.
Making him slightly more powerful at night, though only for a miniscule amount, compared to Grander.

Ludger received a cup of coffee from Sedina as usual in his office.
"Thank you."
Sedina peeked at Ludger, who is sipping coffee while looking through papers with his rimless glasses.
'Vampire..'
After what happened with the world tree, Sedina became quite closer to Ludger and other U. N. Owens who risked their lives to save her.
She learned how to control the world tree and met her deceased mother once again.
She brought Ludger to her mother and conversed with each other. It got rough first but they talked in the end and her mother even teased her.
'Sir. Ludger has the Bretus royal bloodline and even vampire blood..'
She didn't mean to eavesdrop in their conversation but she heard it because they fought right in front of her.
It is quite contradicting when Bretus is the homeland of Lumensis church and vampires are the devil's children.
Sedina is really curious but it is Ludger's secret, she can't just prod.
"What is it?"
Ludger noticed Sedina's gaze and asked but still not looking up from the papers.
"We-well! Its just... Uh!"
Sedina jumped and stuttered.. She contemplated whether to ask him or not.
"Just ask.."
"Okay.."
Sedina looked at Ludger and decided to just ask.
"About when mother said that sir. Ludger is a.. vampire? Well, you don't have to answer if you don't want to! "
"Ah, about that."
Ludger took another sip in his coffee and immediately casted a sound-proofing spell in the office. He had expected Sedina to ask him about his origins after the World tree incident.
"She is right, i am a part-vampire."
"Oh! Then sir. Ludger, do you often drink blood?"
"Not that much.. I only drink blood as an another method of recovering mana."
"Then do you get burns when standing in the sunlight? Wait, you go out sometimes though.."
"It's not like that..."
Ludger shook his head at the ridiculousness but gave a response.
"My skin is just a little sensitive."
"Oh... Is that why you always wear coats?"
"Yes."
"Then, do you-"
"-I don't like drinking someone's blood."
'Ah, i was about to ask him that...'
Ludger immediately spoke and Sedina awkwardly nodded at what he said.
"Then sir, what kind of blood do you drink? how often do you drink blood? Should i continue giving you vegetables? Ah, sorry that was too much!"
Sedina got too excited and asked more questions, though Ludger didn't mind.
"I drink animal blood once a month or sometimes, a week. Also, the vegetables you give me is fine too."
"Ah-"
Sedina let out a gasp as she absorbed new information about Ludger.Sedina felt like she got a little closer with Ludger for him to answer her question..
Sedina felt another urge to ask another question but the bell rang. The spell he had diminished just a few second before the bell.
"Well, maybe later Sedina.. It's time for class."
Ludger sat up from his chair and went to his class.
Sedina first picked up the class documents before following Ludger.
She felt a little sullen, there's so many things she wants to aks, but there's always a next time.===
