Origin

Methotrex Sage is one of the last true DMAR-di Masters, disciples of the old immune traditions, where discipline, dose, and time reign supreme. Originating from the red-gold plains of Synovis, he once lived in quiet seclusion at the Sanctum of the Biologic Core, studying the deep language of cellular cycles and remission rhythms.

While biologic knights often steal the spotlight with their precision and speed, it is Methotrex Sage who trained many of them. He taught them that the immune system cannot be conquered by force alone, it must be guided, nudged, and reprogrammed over time. His style of combat is less about spectacle and more about sustained modulation, mirroring the real-world use of methotrexate as a slow-acting but foundational DMARD.

He wields a glowing energy staff, pulsing with a folate sigil that responds to his weekly calibrations. It draws power from reservoirs he wears at his side, timed to release in steady waves. Yet even he has a weakness: Fol-Ate candies, a sweet indulgence that, if taken without restraint, dulls his precision (a nod to the folic acid interaction).

For all his solemnity, Sage is beloved. He believes in his students. He believes in the long game. And he is often heard reminding them: “A flare war isn’t won in a blaze. It is won in the waiting.”
