3. Background & Lore
Origin Story: Boxsa
Kazeem descends from a sacred lineage of warrior-priests known as Èṣọ Ìbọ̀jì — the Guardians of the Realms — sworn protectors charged with holding back the forces of evil: mystical, malevolent, and supernatural beings that constantly seek to breach the veil and corrupt the living world.
But when his father turned away from the Orishas to embrace Islam, the family line was deemed broken. His father’s polygamous lifestyle, harshness, and neglect toward Kazeem and his mother only deepened the rift, leaving Kazeem estranged from his heritage. With no heirloom passed down, he carved his own path — one of pain, struggle, and rebellion.
Once a promising professional boxer, Kazeem’s career spiraled into decline. Injuries, defeats, and misfortune stripped him of glory, leaving him unable to provide for his daughter, Ruby. His father-in-law, seeing him as unworthy, took Ruby away — forbidding both her and Kazeem’s estranged partner, Chrysa, from ever being tied to him again.
As the Council of Five stirs in secret, plotting to resurrect the ancient trickster Elegbara, the Orishas sense a great imbalance. They seek a vessel to rise against the growing darkness. Kazeem’s grandfather, keeper of the old ways, calls upon him to reclaim the family’s sacred duty. Torn between disbelief and desperation, Kazeem reluctantly accepts the ancestral Amulet of the Èṣọ Ìbọ̀jì.
Bound to the Orishas, his body becomes a conduit for powers he can scarcely comprehend. Slowly, Kazeem awakens abilities that defy human limits — strength, resilience, and mystic force rooted in realms beyond the mortal plane. With these gifts, he is reborn as BOxSA — a reluctant guardian, torn between the weight of his lineage, his duty to the spirit realm, and his burning desire to one day be worthy of his daughter’s love.

5. Powers & Abilities
Boxsa possesses superhuman strength and the ability to leap great distances and heights. The Orishas have also granted him the rare Gift of Vision — fleeting glimpses of spirits, looming danger, or fragments of possible futures. These visions come unpredictably, but often at moments of great consequence.
His powers are fueled by willpower and faith in the Orishas; the stronger his resolve, the greater his abilities grow. An aura of divine protection surrounds him, shielding his body from evil influences, mortal harm, and physical attacks. Bullets, blades, and brute force cannot pierce his skin, making him nearly indestructible in battle.
Primary Powers
Super Strength: Can lift and strike with immense force, far beyond human limits.
Enhanced Leaping: Able to jump across rooftops, clear wide distances, and reach towering heights.
Gift of Vision: Occasionally receives prophetic flashes — glimpses of spirits, threats, or fragments of future events. These visions are rare, unpredictable, and sometimes cryptic.
Willpower Amplification: His abilities grow stronger the more he believes in the Orishas and his role as their vessel. Doubt can weaken him, while resolve can make him nearly unstoppable.
Divine Aura: Surrounded by a supernatural shield that protects him from bullets, blades, fire, poison, and most forms of physical attack. This aura is an extension of the Orishas’ blessing.
Strengths
Unbreakable Skin: Immunity to conventional weapons and most physical harm.
Spiritual Awareness: Can sense supernatural presences and disturbances in the spirit realm.
Fearless Warrior: His resilience and stubborn determination make him difficult to defeat mentally or physically.
Cultural Legacy: Wields ancestral knowledge and mystical training from the lineage of Eso Iboji (Guardians of the Realms).
Limitations
Unstable Visions: The Gift of Vision is unreliable — it may come too late, be vague, or misinterpreted.
Willpower Dependency: His strength is tied to his belief in the Orishas; if his faith falters, so do his powers.
Emotional Burden: Haunted by his broken family life (estrangement from his daughter Ruby), which enemies can exploit.
Spiritual Vulnerability: Though his aura protects against physical harm, he can still be targeted by powerful sorcery, curses, or entities that bypass physical defenses.
Human Core: Despite his blessings, he still feels pain, exhaustion, and doubt like any other man.
Secondary Powers
Spirit Sense: Can feel disturbances in the barrier between realms — when a portal, curse, or spirit is nearby, he experiences chills, whispers, or glowing markings on his body.
Mystic Endurance: His body recovers faster than a normal human after battle. While not full regeneration, wounds close quicker, and fatigue fades faster.
Combat Instinct: Ancestral warrior knowledge manifests in his reflexes — he sometimes fights with skills he was never trained in (as though channeling past guardians).
Aura of Courage: His divine presence inspires allies, calming fear and strengthening their resolve when standing beside him.
Weapon Blessing: If he wields ordinary weapons (like a staff, chain, or blade), his aura temporarily imbues them with supernatural durability and striking power.
Dream-Walking (Rare): At times, in sleep or trance, he can cross into the spirit realm to communicate with Orishas, ancestors, or catch glimpses of ongoing spiritual battles

9. Fan Fun Section
- Though Boxsa’s abilities seem limited or capped, his limit is only self induced as he is able to achieve great feats if only he fully believes in the orishas. This trust makes him so synchronised with them that he is like them if not higher, as he has the ability to command them to do his bidding with the vast amount of wisdom in his disposal.
- One of the things that keeps Boxsa in check is he is bound by certain laws which thankfully keeps him from abusing his powers. Like the love for his daughter
Trivia / Easter Eggs: (fun hidden facts, inspirations)
- Boxsa was created with the idea of inspiring anyone, no matter the environment or social class to aspire for more.
- He is also a door way to show what man is capable of if he believes in himself and aligns with his spirit.
- This doesn’t need stating, but he was made to mirror the reality of class struggles and animosity and classism in the society. You get the feel of how a ghetto boy would experience life; from the food, language and scenery
- The focus of the world of Boxsa is the African spirituality, a thing we all grew up surrounded by and being aware of.
Battle Matchups: (who they can/can’t beat)
- Boxsa would have difficulty with people of higher level strength, though with the guidance of the orisha he can rise to the situation, but they are able to deal damage
- Boxsa is susceptible to magic, so higher level casters and high spirits possession can hurt and deal damage to him
