Miso Society and Culture
The Misoese also had a strong nationalism, with natives seeing the country as great despite its previous collapse. Due to this nationalism, the reigning king prohibited foreigners from entering the country, with natives seeing the wall and its guards as necessary to protect their homeland. Characterized by their medium-toned skin, black hair, and black eyes, Misoese could easily tell foreigners apart as a result of their racial homogeneity, with some viewing foreign appearances as disturbing.

Dark Star Bureau
The Dark Star Bureau was a government office in Levianta in the USE. Acting as a judicial entity since its foundation, it conducted trials for alleged witches in Evillious before being subjected to a great scandal.

Early History
Around the 9th century EC, Penry Marlon founded the bureau, establishing its courthouse in Alicegrad, Levianta. Later on, Hanma Balledold became head judge of the bureau. At some point, the bureau began accepting visits from students of the nearby Levin University. Later on, the bureau conducting trials for alleged witches across Evillious, with the accused being given a death sentence each time. In EC 944, Elluka "Ma" Clockworker was tried for witchcraft as well as her murder of Mata Corpa, given the death sentence. In EC 958, Lana Ray was tried for witchcraft and was also given the death penalty by Hanma.

At some point, Jorm Zusco was tried for his serial killings and was sentenced to execution. In EC 960, Gallerian Marlon declared the playwright Kayo Sudou innocent for her alleged witchcraft while acting in for Hanma. A year later, Hanma accepted a bribe to cancel Jorm's execution. Hanma later accepted another bribe, ruling against Loki Freezis during his trial and giving him a thirty-year imprisonment. In EC 964, Hanma mysteriously disappeared. Later on, Gallerian replaced him as head judge, enacting reforms within the bureau. At some point, Police Neutrality, the court's private police force, was established.

Dark Star Scandal
In EC 978, Gallerian bribed the court employees to cover up the theft of the Marlon Spoon by Ma. Afterwards, Gallerian began accepting bribes to rule criminals innocent. That same year, he declared Bindi Freezis innocent for sinking the S.S. Titanis. He later tried Nyoze Octo for his murder of the prostitute Medea Kol, confiscating his family heirloom as evidence.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The bureau's name may be derived from the concept of a dark star, a star-like object that emits little or no visible light.

Hanma Balledold
"Money can even bend the laws of hell."

- Hanma Balledold

Hanma Balledold was head judge Dark Star Bureau and the apprentice of Ma. Conducting a corrupt court system, Hanma accepted bribes to declare people guilty in trial, presiding over the witch trials in Levianta.

Early Life
Born sometime during the EC 900s, Hanma later encountered Ma and became the woman's apprentice, studying magic under her. Hanma was later employed in the USE Dark Star Bureau, eventually attaining the position of head judge. After Heaven Jaakko caused the start of the witch trials, Hanma tried the accused witches, giving them the death sentence every time.

Severing Ties
Elluka “Ma” Clockworker is being sentenced to death for murder, larceny, and witchcraft. There are mixed reactions to the verdict. Someone in the crowd shouts “Kill the witch!”, which causes even more ruckus, but the judge restores order. The judge talks about what lead to the verdict, including bizarre natural phenomena that’s been happening

He also points out that unlike the other defendants, Elluka shares a name with a famous witch in history, Elluka, believing it evidence that she inherited it as a witch. According to the judge Elluka also killed Sir Mata Corpa in the process of stealing the Marlon Spoon from his mansion on the night of EC 944, April 4th(and was caught by the World Police afterwards). There are other things in his explanation but basically he concludes his reasoning as to why she’s been determined to be a witch. The court session is ended and two men drag Elluka off. Suddenly, a single man runs up to Elluka, chased by three other guards and caught before he can reach her. She looks on him a little sadly. The judge comes up, tells them to release him, as he has a relationship with Elluka and has a right to talk to her. The man (Gandalf), accuses the judge of betraying him, and taking bribes to frame Elluka on a false charge. (the judge also mocks Gandalf thinking that she would get off using connections in the church and the Freezis Foundation). says, “Money is the best lawyer in hell”. Gandalf becomes enraged, but then the judge says that he wants Gandalf to be by his side in his law career as friends, having hidden Gandalf’s relationship with Elluka to keep him from being taken down too. But Gandalf rebukes him, saying he’ll quit the dark star courthouse. A servant comes up with a baby in her arms (Elluka and Gandalf’s baby). Gandalf goes to talk to Elluka with the baby along, but turns back to tell the judge that he will continue to pursue justice along with like-minded people, and change the courthouse for the better–and then when he has, he’ll see that judge, and people like him, in hell. This judge’s name is Hanma Balledold, and he laughs, leaving.

Continued Work
Lana Ray. Supposedly, she went to commune with the spirits in Millenium Tree Forest, and the idea is that because she is a follower of the Held branch of the Levin church, she may have obtained an ancient magical charm of

Her(?) lawyer interrupts (saying “Objection”) at this point and refutes the claims that she would use a magical charm to commit any kind of curses as merely public opinion. ). Hanma allows this (saying something else I can’t read well). The lawyer then posits something–I’m not entirely sure because he doesn’t finish the sentence, but it might be that Lana only had that charm with her because she knew the Millenium Tree Forest was once made into the stronghold of the ill-reputed witch Elluka and might have bad magic inside.

Court is adjourned after Hanma tells them the day he’ll announce his verdict. Defendant found guilty and death penalty.

Being in charge of the DSC for 14 years, he would be the one who lets in students

This takes place several months later, on a snowy day

Hanma is meeting with others in the Dark Star Courthouse conference room regarding those who have passed their entrance exam into the court. There are six applicants. They are all of good families and (I think) are all members of Levin University. Hanma remarks slightly on the fact that though it should all be judged solely by merit their applicants still need to have money for their studies in some way or another. Just before he gives them all the go ahead, it’s pointed out to him that Gallerian’s name is on the list. He is of a good family line but one of the others is concerned because he’s the son of Gandalf. Hamna points out that the one who created the courthouse was Penry Marlon, Gallerian’s great-grandfather.

Höðr rebutes that he is also the son of a witch. Hanma pretends it’s the first he’s heard of this, and upon further inquiry as to what they know (that he’s the son of Elluka) acts as though he had no idea she’d had a child. Then he argues that Gallerian being the son of a criminal has no bearing on his own standing, and that the law must be “neutral”. It would only matter if Gallerian had learned magic from his mother. Which he has not. The person he argued down (Höðr/Hod/idk) grumbles about him, but not quietly enough and he’s reduced to stuttering when Hanma calls him on it. He then decides all applicants are getting in. Meeting ended, hanma leaves

Court Developments
Levianta’s “Java Gazette” (jaba? jiyaba? a little hard to tell) reports on how for the first time ever a witch trial has had an innocent verdict. Hanma is reading about it (having just come back from Marlon) in front of Gallerian, who’d been called in to see him. Hanma asks him if he knows why he left for Marlon, and Gallerian replies that it was to attend the empress’s wedding(?). The rest is a little hard to read but I believe Hanma mentions wanting to set up a World Police branch there as well. Around Marlon’s waters they’re having problems with large Ziz Tiamas which make it hard to fish.

The World Police are looking for Elluka’s apprentice. All they know is that apparently this person is male. This person would be a “witch”–the term has no bearing on gender, just whether or not someone can use magic. Hanma goes back to the topic that for Reasons™, the courthouse must find guilty all witches that the World Police finds (related to Loki’s reasoning earlier I think). He asks why Gallerian did not do this. Gallerian says he must already know, but Hanma does not.

Hanma speculates that Gallerian did it because he’s the son of a witch. But then he smiles, saying that he knows someone like Gallerian doesn’t make verdicts through their personal feelings alone. He then asks again. Gallerian explains that he judged her innocent for the same reason they judged the rest guilty–they know very little about witches and magic. For that reason he thinks it’s necessary for them to find someone who knows more about it who can explain things to them. Ie, one of the witches.

He thinks he might be able to get on Kayo’s good side because she’s clearly fanatically obsessed with Elluka, and he’s Elluka’s son. This makes Hanma laugh, apparently remembering someone else who was trying to learn that information (magic) through a cooperative relationship (with a witch I assume). Gallerian is about to ask more about it but doesn’t (I assume the implication is that he’s referring to Gandalf).

Hanma tells Gallerian to go ahead with his idea, but to use caution around Kayo. Before Gallerian can leave he tells him that, ostensibly, he has to give him some kind of censure, and gives him 30 days suspension, and tells him to do whatever he sees fit with it.

Add the Loki thing

Conceptualization

 * Hanma's name may be a pun on the word "hammer", reflecting his role as a judge.

Loki Freezis
Loki Freezis was the third son of the Freezis Family, an HER and the boyfriend of Mira Yarera. Jealous of Gallerian Marlon, Loki pretended to befriend the young man. After being employed in the USE Dark Star Bureau, Loki was quickly overtaken by Gallerian and began secretly plotting to kill the prodigy judge.

Early Life
Loki was born in EC 942 as the third son of the Freezis Family. Raised in the powerful and wealthy family, Loki eventually began participating in his family's tradition of hunting Maistian slaves. After his first kill, his family had the slave girl stuffed and mounted in Loki's room. At some point, Loki visited Maistia several times. Seeing his older brothers enter economics and politics, Loki decided to become a judge, coveting the position of head judge of the Dark Star Bureau. He later became acquainted with his family's employees, Shiro Netsuma and Bruno Zero.

University Studies
At some point, Loki was accepted into Levin University in Alicegrad, Levianta. Eventually, he met Mira Yarera and the two started dating despite their families' rivalry, with Mira sometimes cooking meals for him. He later met Gallerian Marlon and pretended to befriend him. Excelling in his studies, Loki became the second best student, following closely behind Gallerian. At some point, Loki discovered that he and Gallerian had a common ancestor and pretended to bond with him over the connection.

In EC 956, Loki and nine other students went on a field trip to the Dark Star Courthouse. Observing the trial of Lana Ray, Loki listened as the defendant's lawyer refuted the claim of Lana using the charm to cast curses, suggesting she brought it due to to protect her from the malignant magic of Elluka Clockworker.

After the court was adjourned, Loki asked Gallerian on his opinion, walking out of the courthouse with the boy. Hearing Galerian speculate that the defendant would be given a death sentence, Loki agreed, noting that everyone tried for being a witch got the death penalty. Complaining that he wanted to watch a more exciting case, Loki remarked on the boy's constant seriousness.

Loki then asked why he wanted to become a judge. Afterwards, he added that he could be working in any field he wanted, suggesting government. Gallerian replied that he would have to go somewhere where the Viwirtz family didn't have power, such as Maistia. Loki then expressed his interest in Maistia, explaining that he had gone there several times as a child. In reply, Gallerian recommended he go there, stating that he wanted to be a judge for a long time.

When Loki asked why he wanted to become a judge, Gallerian returned the question, remarking he was a member of the Freezis plutocrats. He then pointed out that they both wanted to become judges because it was their dream. Loki added that it was his fate to become head judge, mentioning his brothers' careers before stating that they could make the Freezis Conglomerate the most powerful organization ever using the USE.

Hearing Gallerian joke that his ambitions were smaller, Loki pointed out that he had Freezis blood as well. Gallerian then mused that they'd become rivals in the Dark Star Bureau. After bantering with Gallerian for a bit, Loki heard Gallerian ask his opinion on the witch trials. In response, Loki agreed that there were strange happenings in the world but that he was unsure if they were because of witches. He then speculate that it was his mission to exterminate witches using the law once he got to the top. They then went back to joking about who was really going to become head judge.

Embracing Ambition
Several months later Loki, passed the government entrance exam and was employed at the Dark Star Bureau. The night after the graduation ceremony, he attended a party for their graduation, and brought Mira with him. He danced with her for a while, before he left and approached Gallerian, asking him about his plans for the break. Replying that he was going to study, Loki suggested that he joined him on his hunting trip, lamenting that there was not much to do in Levianta. When he declined and told him to enjoy his trip with Mira; she told "Galley" that she wasn't allowed to go because of her brother's opposition to their relationship.

Mira then pointed out Gallerian's childlike appearance, to which he responded that the two of them were only two years apart. When he stated that his father shared this appearance as well, Loki laughed and replied that it must have been because of them being descendants of the youthful-looking Prim Marlon. The three of them then continued to talk about the break from school and enjoyed their time.

Over time, Loki became extremely jealous of Mira, prohibiting her from talking to other men. At some point, he bought a car and told Gallerian about it. In EC 960, Loki spotted Mira and Gallerian talking following the latter's lecture on law and angrily told his girlfriend to stop talking to him. Pointing out that her class had ended twelve minutes ago and that she was wasting her time, Loki left. Shortly after, he became impatient that his girlfriend still did not finish talking with Gallerian, and called for her from far off.

One week later, Loki learned about Gallerian presiding over the trial of Kayo Sudou. He later found Gallerian in the lunchroom and asked how the trial was going. He then asked what pattern the defendant had, to which Gallerian responded that she had none, and that she was so composed it was almost frightening. Loki then said that it was disappointing that Gallerian's first trial would be a witch trial, saying that the outcome was predetermined.

When the surprised Gallerian asked him why he thought so, he replied that there was impossible to prove if someone was a witch or not, so as long as the problems of the world kept happening, he claimed that a way to stop them was executing all the people accused of being witches. When Gallerian questioned his reasoning, saying that that was not an acceptable solution, Loki interrupted his speech and told him to keep his voice down. Putting a hand on his shoulder, he told him that he must have been tired and that he should relax sometime. He then said that he found a good hunting place in Levianta, and invited him on the next break. Gallerian then returned to the trial.

Loki later found out that the defendant was found not guilty, and was told about Gallerian's meeting with the head judge Hanma Balledold. Sometime later, he ran into Gallerian and asked him about the meeting; when told about his suspension, Loki told his friend not to feel down about it. Loki then suggested that the two of them should go to a hunting trip in a forest near Pixie. Gallerian agreed, with the condition that he also visited another place while in Pixie. Loki then said that it was fine, and that they only needed to get some equipment and his butler to drive the car.

Hunting the Game
The next day, Loki met with Gallerian on the road out of Alicegrad. He then poked his head out of the car window and pointed out their timing. Afterwards, he exited the car and introduced Gallerian to Bruno, explaining that he was originally a slave. When he saw Bruno introducing himself impolitely, he kicked him for his rudeness, and then kicked him again for not reacting to his first kick. Loki then sat in the passenger seat and rushed the other two to get in. After they did, Bruno started the car and they headed off. Gallerian expressed his uneasiness about the snowy weather, and Loki reassured him that the car could handle the snow.

After a snowstorm began around noon, Gallerian again expressed his concern and Loki insisted that there wouldn't be any problem. Around an hour later, the car engined stalled from the intensifying blizzard. Bruno then exited the car to check on a shack nearby, before discovering that it was locked. When Loki joked about the situation, Gallerian got mad at him, only to amuse the him further. Saying that things were still according to his plan, he suggested that they started soon. When pressed for clarification, Loki reminded Gallerian that they were on a hunting trip, and that as long as there was game, he could hunt anywhere.

When Gallerian claimed that there was no game, Loki disagreed, smiling and pointing his shotgun at Gallerian's head, smiling. He then shot his gun, but missed Gallerian, who quickly exited the car and run across the snow field, chased by Loki. While running, Loki taunted him, saying that he was too excellent for him. He then expressed his frustration at Gallerian quickly surpassing him in the Dark Star Bureau. Loki fired again and missed, stating that as a Freezis, he had to be the the one on top.

He then stated that he always thought that Gallerian was a nuisance, explaining that his patience was at its limit. Loki again fired and missed Gallerian, before raging at how Gallerian only got a suspension and did not get fired after Kayo's trial. Loki kept cursing at Gallerian while chasing him, and eventually the two separated.

After some time, Loki and Bruno found Gallerian lying in the ground. After Bruno checked up on him and told Loki that he was dead, the two noticed that the bullet that shot Gallerian was not from Loki's gun, to which Loki suggested that Shiro might be nearby. After Bruno told him that he had her wait in the area, Loki expressed his disappointment, saying that he wanted to kill Gallerian himself.

When Bruno suggested that he take care of the body, the annoyed Loki reminded him that he couldn't drive. He then suggested that Shiro took care of him, calling her a half-wit. After Bruno whistled for her, she appeared and was told by Bruno that he and Loki were going, leaving Gallerian to her. Arriving home, Loki spread that Gallerian had died in a hunting accident. At some point, Loki achieved the rank of 2nd Class Assistant Judge.

Downfall
Around a year later, information spread about Loki's many murders and attempted murder of Gallerian. His physical health later declined. Put on trial for trying to kill Gallerian, Loki smiled as he waited for Hanma's judgment. Hearing Hanma call for order and announce that he was going to give the verdict, Loki listened as the head judge gave him thirty years imprisonment. He was then taken away and incarcerated, missing Mira's meals.

Several days later, Loki saw Mira visit him in prison. Declaring he'd crush Gallerian once he got out, Loki expressed his anger at the young man's betrayal. Seeing Mira stay silent, Loki assured her he wouldn't be serving his sentence, and that his father would pull some strings. Mira then interrupted, explaining that his father had disowned him and was acting like he was hunting people on his own. Enraged, Loki pointed out that his father and older brother taught him how to hunt slaves.

Desperately asking Mira to confirm if she was on his side, Loki witnessed the woman begin crying. Pointing out that she had been getting bigger, Loki heard her confirm she was pregnant, and that it was with Gallerian's child. After Mira apologized and left, Loki began screaming.

Sometime after, Loki heard a knock on his cell door, seeing it to be a person with a parcel. Initially confused, Loki surmised they were someone his father sent to help him escape, and took the package from them. After signing for it and seeing the person leave, Loki opened the package and saw that it was a small gun. Confused again, Loki eventually realized he was being told to kill himself. Seeing the moon outside the window and thinking it was beautiful night to die, Loki eventually began thinking about revenge again. Declaring his revenge to the moon, Loki was then shot.

Legacy
Loki's death was officially ruled a suicide, covered in the newspapers. After reading the news, Gallerian greatly grieved his former friend's death. As a result of working together to overthrow Loki, Gallerian made ties with Ma, Bruno, Guzma Yarera and Mira, marrying the latter. Loki's brother Bindi later tried to avenge his death, orchestrating the Titanis Sinking Incident with the Zeus organization.

Personality and Traits
Loki was an ambitious and deceitful young man. Studying law to expand his family's power and influence across Evillious, Loki believed that it was his fate as a Freezis to be the one on top. As a result, he hated Gallerian and was jealous of his superior performance, considering him a nuisance and eventually resolving to kill him. Despite his loyalty to his family, Loki nonetheless entered a relationship with Mira, disregarding their respective families' rivalry.

Participating in his family's tradition of hunting slaves, Loki subscribed to the belief that anyone who wasn't a Freezis wasn't human. This belief caused him to mistreat and physically abuse Bruno. Loki was also possessive of Mira, prohibiting her from talking to other men and even shouting at her in public. Compounding this enviousness, Loki had a short temper and would sometimes have outbursts of anger.

During his time in university and the Dark Star Bureau, Loki was willing to keep up his faux friendship with Gallerian over the years, although eventually reaching the end of his patience after seeing the young man greatly outperform him in legal work. Due to his hatred of Gallerian, Loki wanted to be the one to kill him and was disappointed after Gallerian's apparent death at Shiro's hands.

Following the spread of information about his crimes, Loki was angered at what he believed to be Gallerian's betrayal and swore revenge on him. He was also confident that his father would break him out of prison. After being disowned and losing connections with his family, Loki became desperate and was shocked to hear of Mira's pregnancy. Later on during his imprisonment, Loki was briefly suicidal.

Skills and Abilities
Having learned to hunt human game at a young age, Loki was a skilled hunter, able to effectively wield a shotgun. Loki was also an outstanding student, being just behind Gallerian in terms of academic performance and graduating Levin University at a young age. As part of this excellence, he was eligible enough to be accepted into the Dark Star Bureau. Loki was also capable at legal work, eventually attaining the rank of 2nd Class Assistant Judge. Despite owning a car, he did not know how to drive.

Character Connections
Gallerian Marlon: Loki's rival. Pretending to befriend Gallerian, Loki secretly considered him a nuisance and was outraged at his overtaking him in both studies and work. After believing him to be dead, Loki was angered by Gallerian's betrayal and vowed to get revenge on him.

Mira Yarera: Loki's girlfriend. Dating her despite the disapproval of their families, Loki reciprocated Mira's love. However, he was also envious of her speaking to other men. He was also shocked and enraged by her pregnancy with Gallerian's child.

Bruno Zero: Loki's butler. Looking down upon Bruno due to his race, Loki physically abused the former slave and was angered whenever anyone treated him with respect.
