Appearance:





His appearance as his true self is simple and yet difficult to properly define...By all accounts, he is simply a large amorphous glob of shadow, shaping itself to its own whims. But because of that, there's no one singular appearance that he could take with himself. Often times, when people spoke of the malignant king of shadows, all they could say with certainty was that it was akin to a demon: large pitch black arms and claws, and the face of a monstrous beast. Others say he had a face, or something that looked like one, a white mask and hands, and spoke with the deep voice of a devil offering temptations. Others still go as far as to say they did not see him as one entity, but a collective mass of hideous dark demons, a legion of darkness in and of himself.

Summary: From the experiment of a god to the Conqueror of worlds. With his mastery of the dark and his capability to reproduce an army of children at his beck and call, the Shadow King Scotus was an interdimensional threat, travelling from world-to-world, consuming all he visited in everlasting darkness. However, he was stopped by the one thing mocked throughout the ages but had a power all its own that he bore witnessed to: Love. He found a woman he could learn to love and be loved in return. This took to tragedy when that lover died and he retaliated in vengeance, only to die himself.

Anybody ever watched Castlevania? Think Dracula from the Anime, but as a mass of darkness instead of a Vampire.

Legacy: Long ago, there was a God, its name lost to time, who had a fascination with the concept of Life and what could be brought to life and be made manifest and personified. This curiosity led it to bring life to the lifeless, not of the physical but of the absolute, the nothing, the darkness.

But in order to make this a reality, he had to feed life to the darkness, more specifically the very essence of life across the multiverse, what many have come to call "Mana". Feeding Mana to the darkness would allow a fraction of that darkness to come to life, at least in theory. There was just one problem, the God had no dominion over life, he could not create from nothing as his kin could and has. And so he resorted to another way of getting the Mana he required: By stealing the life force that already exists.

To that end, he descended from on high to a universe bursting with life, and convinced it to tear itself apart through warfare, and he would gather the life force extracted from the bodies of the deceased. Among the many who have fought and die that was of note was a man known as the Warrior King, so impressive was his brute force and his sheer will that when he finally fell in battle the god took his flesh with him as he completes his experiment.

Within the great darkness, he offered the life force of millions of soldiers to give it life, the flesh of the Warrior King to give it shape and strength, and knowing that his kin would find what he did and punish him, he took the essence of his own divine soul and offered it as the final sacrifice, giving sentience and power to the dark. As the god faded onto nothing, a giant mass of the dark broke out and took a deformed, wicked shape.

Thus, The Shadow King, Scotus, was born.

While he had the figure of a man, Scotus had the hunger of the darkness and the instincts of a beast. From the moment he crawled out into a human world, he wanted to conquer and consume it onto himself. No logic, no reason, just desire, for the light of the universe was oft too much for him, and so he would snuff them out and return all to a comforting ebony. From the mana he obtained from the millions who died, his body produced an army fragmented from the whole of his dark mass, shadow beasts, unintelligent but unrelenting and monstrous creatures of the shadow, and they spread themselves far and wide.

Their first world was unprepared for such unrelenting forces, it did not take long for them to consume the people, the heroes, the villains, the world, and even the stars themselves. When he was done, all that remained of that universe was a pitch black void - a nest of shadow beasts - and Scotus, unsatisfied, moved to another universe, and then another, and then another.

For a time, a certain phrase cropped up across the many dimensions of the multiverse: "The Darkness is Coming..." A phrase that, for that time, referred to the Shadow King and his Army. There were signs of his coming shown throughout, stars blinking out of the night sky, shadows that moved on their own, entities lurking in the darkness tempting the unsuspecting to approach them and never return. Heroes of these worlds tried their best to tackle this invader and conqueror, and while they enjoyed some victories over his beasts, they would always fall before their king, and as soon as they were defeated, their world would fall into an eternal black and the Shadow King would move on to the next world to conquer. Worse still, his army seemed never ending - every time they kill a Shadow Beast it would return to him to be born again, and as time passed he created even greater, more powerful and more intellectual monstrosities, which came to be known as the Alpha Shadow Beasts. This cycle kept going for many years, and there were few who did not know the legend of the Shadow King.

Eventually the gods of various worlds had to intervene to fix the mistake one of their own had wrought upon their worlds, calling upon the great race of Dragons to protect the worlds from the Dark, and their nature as magical creatures of wisdom divinity, proved a match against the Shadow King and his armies, to a point where the blood of a dragon was used by Scotus to bring fourth a hybrid that could prove a better opponent for them, the Alpha Beast known only as the Shadow Dragon. They could not completely stop the unrelenting Shadow King, they put him into a stand still, buying time for other worlds to prepare properly and fight against the oncoming black.

The legend goes, that the Shadow King broke through the Dragons, only to be stopped by a Heroine, a queen of her kingdom given the power of Dragons. With the aid of her allies, she pushed through the tide of shadows and reached the Shadow King, and at last defeated him in battle.

The Darkness was stopped, and the Queen of Light ascended to legend and myth across many worlds.

Gravely wounded and defeated, The Shadow King retreated from that world and entered another, maintaining a human form with which to disguise and recover his strength. It was this moment he met another woman, Cynthia, a mere peasant of that world who saw the Shadow King and mistaken him for a gravely wounded human, taking him in and nursing the king of beasts back to health. At first, the King's instincts strived to want to devour this foolish woman, but he lacked the strength to do even that. What's more, he was confused about the kindness of this woman, his form may be human but his internals were not, she had to have known by then that he wasn't human, that he was a beast of the darkness, so why on earth would she continue with aiding in his healing? Her answer was sickeningly simple and naïve to him: She saw a someone hurt, and wanted to help them, not caring if it's man or beast. Still, he was gravely wounded and in no position to do much about his predicament, so without much option, he accepted her nursing him for now, planning on killing her and devouring her village and world once he was healed.

However, the healing took far longer than expected, even in the dead of night the darkness he absorb was meager and weak, the damage done to him was far greater than he thought it was, and he could not shape himself to a large enough form to eat anyone there, so he simply endured his unintended imprisonment.

Eventually, the welcoming nature of the village, and the kindness and almost motherly strict nature of Cynthia herself grew on Scotus, he began to feel strange emotions he never felt before, began to find value in the light of day he never thought possible. During a celebratory dance of her people by the fire burning at its center, he was taught by Cynthia how to dance, backed by the people of that village and through this dance was this Beast taught how to love the Beauty, and how to be loved in return.

Scotus was a changed entity at that point, gone was the dark emperor who devoured worlds and stars, the monster of the great darkness who commended armies of shadow beasts, instead, for the first time in his life he was simply "Scotus Blackade". (A surname Cynthia gave him as a joke, and he decided to use himself.) He even went so far as to humor the human girl by engaging in a human tradition called "marriage".

But he could never run from his past, and what he was gave tragedy to what he became. The armies of the Shadow King scattered about the multiverse, unorganized but dangerous, and still a major threat so long as the Shadow King continued to exist. And so the Gods and Dragons found Scotus and took it upon themselves to find a champion of that world, a group of heroes, to hunt him down. Bestowed power to finally finish off the Shadow King, the heroes tracked him down to the village and began their assault, believing the village to be enslaved by the dark one. Not helped was that when they came to hunt him down, they protected and defended him. They tried to convince them that whatever he was before he is no longer that, and the heroes believed that, but regardless of action, the Shadow King's existence was a danger, and so they had no choice but to destroy him. Scotus attempted to talk them into letting him, but the villagers had none of it.

In the end, the village was burned, the villagers killed, and Cynthia gave her life to protect him. A feeling of loss and despair overwhelmed Scotus, the melancholy gave rise to unquenchable rage, and he went berserk. Although he was not at full power, he went into a berserk state and began slaughtering the heroes who hunted him. beginning to do as he did before and devour the world for what it gave to him, and for what it took back from him.

The hero chosen by the gods, with a blade imbued with the magic of dragons, managed to deliver the final blow onto Scotus, stopping him from devouring their world, and causing the rest of the Shadow beasts (Save the Alphas) to fade away into the darkness. In his final moments as he laid there, a dragon sword stabbed within his chest, as his own body began to break down and fade away, he and the hero had a discussion. He never really understood the value of life and its beauty until he met Cynthia and the others, and calmed down, he accepted his fate as an abomination against that beauty, destined to perish to keep it alive. The hero made a suggestion that maybe, if an afterlife exists, he could come back as a hero himself, maybe be able to help protect the worlds he cherished.

"...Yes. ...I would like that..." was his final words, before the rest of his body melted into the black.

The King was dead...

That is, until the Abyss acquired his soul. Reforming a new body from the Great Darkness, and rekindling the rage he felt, the Shadow King, once a great Puppeteer, was now puppet to the Abyss, with his army of Shadow Beasts at its beck and call.

Long Live the King!

Personality: At the beginning until his 'retirement', there were only two things that could describe the Shadow King, A Beast, and a fearsome Emperor. As the primordial shadow beast born from the great darkness, Scotus was a creature of instinct by nature. He did not travel across universes for recognition or dominance or revenge, he consumed them because it was simply his nature to consume them. The light was a discomfort, and so he wished to snuff it out and feast on what remains. In that respect he was brutal, and remorseless, a firm believer in the philosophy of survival of the fittest, and practically without a heart to call his own, truly a monster that could not be reasoned with.

But that's not to say he wasn't intelligent, oh no, for every world he traveled he learned in an effort to more effectively spread and feed himself faster and with more potency. Eventually he gained himself a humanoid shape and meticulous sense of speech, very careful and straight forward with his word choices. During later invasions before anything else, he traveled to his targeted universes by himself and manipulated people like a devil on their shoulders to commit evil, to tear down any who might oppose the invasive force of his armies, took advantage of them at every turn, only to devour them when they have served their purpose.

Even his own Shadow Beasts had reason to fear him, for he was no nicer to them than to anyone else. Success was expected of them, and so they were not appreciated upon those successes, but when they fail, he showed no hesitation in destroying and consuming them back into himself. They were mere pawns, and easily disposable and replaceable. As such, he often showed no hesitation in sacrificing legions of Shadow Beasts if it meant heroes fell to a trap or their doom as well. The normal shadow beasts were merely destroyed upon failure. The Alphas, however, were 'disciplined' for theirs, and whenever an Alpha gained an instinct to try and one-up their king, Scotus had no hesitation in putting them painfully in their place.

As a race that has had connections to the Divine that hates him so, and as they had proven to be an utter thorn in his side, Scotus had an intense hatred for Dragons, in any world where dragons were residing among other races, Scotus made it a point to Prioritize their elimination over any other race. The only exception in this utter loathing was the Shadow Dragon he conceived from their blood, and that was only because he was a useful tool against them. While on the subject, he also looked down at other races, saw them as very little threat, especially humanity which he felt did not even need him to destroy them when they so readily destroy themselves.

However, after he suffered his first defeat at the hands of the Queen of Light, a human he looked down on, humiliated as he left, his personality changed the moment he accidently met Cynthia. At first, he intended to kill her and her village as soon as he recovered his strength, devouring them as their reward. However, his disgust at their simple and naïve existence turned into a sense of interest, than fascination, he did not understand why they were so kind to him when it was so very clear he wasn't human, that he was a beast of the darkness. Eventually, he grew to appreciate the sights that the light of day creates, he grew to respect the humans as they worked for their people and protected him, an abomination of the Dark, and he grew to love Cynthia, the only being to ever show him these feelings he never felt before, such as love or compassion.

Then the heroes and dragons attacked, killed Cynthia and her people while they protected him, and all of that positive development just washed away like sand castles upon the shore. The Shadow King was now a berserk rampaging monster, an even worse version of the creature he was before. For all his evil, his motivation was only in his instincts to feed and comfort himself away from the light. Now it was personal, a grudge, a desire to destroy and burn, damn whatever happens to himself.

When he finally was defeated again, his final moments took him out of the anger stage of grief, and into the depression, the sadness and despair, and then acceptance.

...However, When the Abyss made the Abyssal Doppelganger of the Shadow King, it managed to rekindle the instincts of his past, and the anger of his present, in order to effectively make it a soldier of its will without remorse. Needless to say, he succeeded. The Abyssal Shadow King remembers the pain of Cynthia's loss, and knows that this is not what she wants. He accepts that she may never forgive him for what he is doing to the multiverse in the name of the Abyss, but believes it to be the only way to avenge them. In other words, even when using Cynthia's name, there is still no reasoning with the Shadow King - if anything, the only thing that would serve is to piss him off even more.

Signature Ability: Umbrakinesis- True to his title, Scotus was a master of the darkness and the shadows moved to his whim. As an all-consuming entity of darkness himself, he could stretch himself into areas where light could never reach and manifest those shadows as an energy or a weapon of a physical mass. He can also meld with those shadows both as a way to strengthen himself, and as a method of escape a dire situation should it arise.

Abilities: Umbraconception- As an experimental entity of life, contrary to his appearance and powers, he is essentially a being blessed with the power of life. By separating a fragment of himself from his gelatinous body, the fragment can grow and gain sentience, becoming a fearsome shadow beast under the command of its king, acting as separate entities from him. Most of these creatures, while sentient and self-aware, are unintelligible monsters - mere animals that maim and feast both on instinct and command of their king, and serving as an extension of his will. Should the king ever die, these demons of the dark would die and fade to nothing alongside him.

There have been some notable Shadow Beasts, however, a rare breed who are both sentient and sapient. Intelligent, concise speaking, self-aware, and capable of far greater destruction on their own than their lesser brethren. These are the Alpha beasts, conceived through a large portion of the King and a part of his will given life. Unlike these other beasts, the Alphas did not die alongside their king. As far as everyone knows, they are still alive and drifting across the multiverse to this day, likely causing trouble and havoc where ever they go. It would be common to see some heroes going on an adventure to find and destroy the last of the Shadow King's ilk, but presently there have been no reports of the Alphas declared dead, nor of the heroes' return.

Shadow Beast Absorption- The King giveth, the King taketh away. The Shadow King is not just an entity of the dark, but a devourer of it. Should he will it, the King can devour and absorb his children back to the source, returning parts of himself to the whole. This can be used in two ways: first it can rejuvenate him, give him strength he may have lost during a battle with pesky heroes. Second he can then once again divide himself to create another shadow beast, effectively recycling it. Furthermore, any shadow beast that died he can call back to him to remake anew.

This constant recycling of his children is a major factor as to why he was such a threat, his army had a reputation of being eternal. No matter how many Shadow beasts you destroy, as long as the King exists, more will come.

Shape-shifting- As mentioned, Scotus is a gelatinous existence of mass shadows and darkness, and so he has, many times, been able to shape-shift into various things from giant monstrous beasts of nightmares to humanoid shadows that masquerade (literally if the mask is any indication) as man. It's not just a case of appearance, however. The physical attributes of the king also changes with every form he takes. Smaller forms are faster and more agile, larger forms are stronger and more durable, and something like a four-legged beast akin to a wolf - a form he often uses - has a well balanced sense of both.

As will be shown in his Redeemed self, and when he met with his beloved, he can actually become human in appearance. But this was a rarity when he was the Shadow King, and will most certainly be a rarity as a soldier of the Abyss.

Appearance:

Summary: Reborn as a part of the Redeemer Corp, he is one of those who gladly welcomes the chance to seek redemption for his actions. However, his gelatinous body rotted away upon his death. The Nexus could only save so much of it before it faded to nothing. What was left was used to create his human form, reserving any extra darkness into the form of a sheathed blade. It is only through this blade that he can now change into a shadow beast; there's too little in his current body to become anything significant.

Personality: Although his soul belongs to the abyss, it seems his body remembered his final moments of life, and remembered the love he had for Cynthia. The Personality he had gained when he was with Cynthia has returned to him, and while he still feels a sense of anger and hatred in his heart for the ones responsible for her death, part of them were already taken care of in his rampage and killing what's left won't bring her back, and isn't what she would have wanted.

True to his promise, when the Nexus offered him the chance to set things right, he took it in a heartbeat, especially knowing that the Shadow King he was before became an Abyssal soldier. He has a desire now to protect people like Cynthia from within the shadows, wanting to keep her memory alive by doing so.

As someone still new to this whole 'human' thing, while Scotus is still intelligent and knows quite a bit about ancient knowledge, he's often seen as highly introverted and awkward, not really knowing what the best way of saying things casually would be. Ask him something about the history of certain things, or about his Abyssal self, or about war tactics, and he'll answer with gusto, but ask him something basic or something unrelated to the task at hand, and he wouldn't exactly know where to begin. Also, having little in the way of societal experience outside Cynthia's village, some things that are seen as common sense for others may not occur to Scotus, and so, awkward hijinx of some kind may ensue.

He has a certain respect for humanity he garnered throughout his living years. He must have devoured hundreds of planets' worth of humans yet still they flourish and thrive, and while they are imperfect, cruel and wicked, the fact that there are even a hundred people like Cynthia and her village out of trillions of cruel and wicked humans, is a wonder in itself.

The Shadow Beasts, on the other hand, he still has no love lost with, albeit for completely different reasons. Now he is ruthless against them because they are a personification of the mistakes he has made, and as servants of the Abyssal Shadow King, their very existence mocks his attempts to change. The same goes with the Alphas, Shadow beasts that may actually be considered his legit children, he has no qualms about killing them, for they are a representation of everything that was wrong with him, and knew they themselves would devour other life forms without distinction.

Signature Ability: Umbrakinesis- Although he is weaker now, his mastery over the dark and shadows still exists. He can still manifest the darkness into an energy and give it physical mass, while also entering shadows to escape danger.

Redeemed Abilities: Shadow Beast Absorption- As a much smaller shadow, Scotus Blackade cannot actually create Shadow Beasts, there's simply too little of himself to conceive anything significant. However, should he find a Shadow Beast, he can still absorb them back into himself, at least in theory. After all, The Nexus revived his body, and the Shadow Beasts are parts of that body. If he ate enough, it may be possible to call out an army of his own, albeit a much smaller one.

However, one problem: When he died, all of the lesser shadow beasts died with him, almost his entire army of monsters faded to nothing. Moreover, The Abyss corrodes the Shadow Beasts his Abyssal self creates. As such, should the Shadow King of the Abyss create more beasts, Scotus can't absorb them back into himself.

The only way to test this theory is to kill an eat the only survivors of his kind, the Alpha Beasts... a feat he's not certain he can do on his own in his current state.

Shape-shifting- He may be much smaller, but he's still simply a gelatinous mass of darkness in truth. As such, he could shape-shift himself into a different entity like he could before. But whatever he turns into is significantly less potent compared to his past self. Moreover, on his own, he is barely himself, and only has enough of himself within him to sustain this human form. He needs the Black Sword, and the Darkness within it to be able to become anything. No Sword, no shape-shifting.

Appearance:
 

Meagan’s beauty that she holds hides a sinister side that usually begets jealousy, anger, and seething hate. Her black wings as a Fallen Angel are as lengthy as angels are, but they can shrink down to a more manageable size if she isn’t flying. She has a beautiful smile and kind words to sway others without knowing the terrible light swelling within their souls. Her truth is she is much more sinister and evil than what people could say about her.

Summary: Goddess Matuna handpicked Meagan to become the Speaker of the Order of the Crimson Stars. However, she started felt like she wanted more and more power to keep the Order going, but this caused everyone to be wary of her. The act that caused her to betray and try to usurp Matuna’s Godhood was to kill her best friend, who thought she would seize their Goddess. Therefore, she went to world-to-world to devoid these planets of life to stop the Order from gaining more worshipers. However, she was stopped by Goddess Matuna and allowed to live the rest of her life knowing that she cannot reach her goals.

The Coalition decided to finish her off personally by sending their greatest champion to instill fear into Meagan for all time. All to show what she has caused, the countless deaths were all for not in true fashion she saw fought for was running away from all the deaths she caused.

Legacy: Long ago, Meagan had been chosen by Goddess Matuna because of what the angel saw while the others in the cosmos couldn’t see at all. Goddess Matuna chose Meagan as the Speaker of her religion, the Order of the Crimson Stars, to spread throughout the cosmos to make sure everyone worships her. As such, there was much power in being the Speaker that Meagan got, and it slowly changed her in thinking of doing the unthinkable but never acted on it.

Those who would seek power in the Order of the Crimson Stars only seek to stay with the Goddess. Meagan chose in a rash decision to betray, usurp and corrupt the Order of the Crimson Stars. She wanted to recreate the Order in her image in memory of her best friend because of a misunderstanding. Meagan’s best friend that she handpicked to replace her as Speaker tried to kill her, but Meagan was too strong for her. At this time, Meagan’s beautiful white angel wings turned black because she was cast out of the Order by Goddess Matuna.

Meagan truly believes in her heart the one that betrayed her was Goddess Matuna. It would be the only reason why her best friend tried to kill her under the pretenses of usurping the powers of a Goddess. It causes her to betray her Goddess, but this is when Photokinesis changes for the worst. The corruption and starts creating light-based monstrosities by her sight and entire black wingspan. As such, Meagan slowly starts to enjoy using her words to sway mortals in her cause only because they see a beautiful face.

Only for them to gradually be changed from their mortality into mindless light-based monstrosities that Meagan controls. These monsters have a sickening appearance and usually are terrifying since they seek to increase their numbers by using the same light that corrupted them. They only seek to help Meagan on her grand crusade against the Order of the Crimson Stars and all that worship it. It means all humans who were foolishly worshiping the Order became those monstrosities without their will intact. Meagan, usually laughing or smiling with a sinister grin on her face, usually caused many people to give her a wide birth.

Her campaign was brutal and terrifyingly efficient since the creatures used her corrupted Photokinesis to create more of them. Worlds took days to become devoid of all life by the power over the light-based monstrosities. It didn’t take long when other gods and goddesses noticed their worlds being devoid of life and wondered who was destroying these worlds. Worlds that became devoid of life by the massacre that was occurring had no temples or churches dedicated to the Order.

Meagan had no care about the small details, or they might worship Goddess Matuna to save them from her. Meagan’s crusade hit a snag since all the planets previously caused extinction-level events. There were many more worlds to destroy all the mortals on them. However, all the worlds had reinforcements by a counterforce to Meagan’s endeavors. Calti-Primus X’s confrontation would counter the Grand Usurper’s will, wishes, and many light creatures. A Grand Melee ensued on Calti-Primus X against the Grand Usurper and the armies of the Resurgence Defense Coalition of Gods and Goddess that wanted to end her reign of terror in the cosmos.

These gods were using magic that countered Meagan’s Light Creatures’ momentum by employing Dark Magic onto the battlefield. Calti-Primus X stood against Meagan and lived to tell the tale of who reinforced them near the capital of the planet. It was the Order of the Crimson Stars’ Goddess Matuna, which the RDC was trying to get ahold of for a while. Goddess Matuna refused the RDC’s pleas to fight her disciple until her birthplace was threatened. New Calti, the National Capital of Calti-Primus X, held the holy world status for the Order. The founding place of the Order must be protected at all cost, even if that cost is to entirely lose the one you tried to sway in the right direction.

Meagan had a look of utter shock and happiness to see the one who betrayed her right in front of her, and now she can let out all her rage, frustration against the Goddess. The Siege of New Calti began with the RDC primarily content with Meagan’s instinctual-based monstrosities, while Matuna dealt with Meagan. Simultaneously, the worshipers of many religions stayed within the walls of the capital to keep themselves from dying and increasing Meagan’s forces numbers. Meagan and Goddess Matuna start their fight with their morphing weapons named the Crimson Spear and the Crimson Sword.

The Crimson Sword or the Chaos Kalil-Spear, as it was also known as, can change between a spear or a long-ranged weapon. In contrast, the Crimson Sword or the Royal Endaer Sword had many more options to morph into, but it was the basis for all Crimson-Based weapons, including Meagan’s. The battle’s outcome didn’t go in Meagan’s favor at all only because of the desperation and overconfidence of wanting to take Matuna’s power for herself. Goddess Matuna exploits Meagan’s desperation and overconfidence in the battle when she shatters Meagan’s resolve by telling her that she had that power all along since Matuna willingly gave it.

It took one final clash for Meagan to realize her mistake of wanting to steal the godhood of the one Goddess that wanted her. In Matuna’s infinite wisdom, she decided to the RDC to spare the Grand Usurper’s Life. Meagan never to dare return to the Order’s Holy World of Calti-Primus X. The Grand Usurper didn’t have much choice to give up her immediate goals of cleansing the world because the ultimatum made her fear the power of Goddess Matuna. However, the Resurgence Defense Coalition didn’t like Goddess Matuna’s decision in sparing Meagan’s life.

When Matuna and the RDC should kill her for all the death and destruction she had caused, the Goddess Matuna wouldn’t hear it. When the other gods and goddesses of the RDC saw the look on Matuna’s face, it was disappointed in everyone, especially Meagan. Matuna had a glimpse of a disappointed mother in a daughter that had done the most disturbing thing to get their mother’s attention. It was like she shouldn’t have picked Meagan as the Speaker of the Order of the Crimson Stars, but Matuna wanted to spread her religion out from her homeworld desperately.

Meagan retreats from Goddess Matuna’s Holy World of Calti-Primus X to reach a world untouched by her. The world had a worldwide cult that worshiped her only to give them salvation. She approaches one of these cultists, who greets her to be extremely happy in meeting the Grand Usurper in person. The unusual world was called Calti-Draemus III that left their old religion to form something new. These cultists healed her injuries and talked to Meagan in a tone that befits a goddess. Meagan, deep in her heartfelt depression and utterly disappointed in herself in allowing her emotions to take the better of her.

Her way of dealing with these cultists was different from how she treated other worlds, and she dealt with them with honesty and kindness since they were giving her respect and honesty in return. In the most ironic twist of fate to Meagan, she had to fight the reformed RDC, which changed the middle name for Despair. All because she thought she could live in peace and happiness, but the Coalition in question didn’t want to allow it.

They would give retribution wherever Meagan touched worlds vertically or not since all those people turned away from their gods to worship the Grand Usurper. Meagan had regained her full strength when the RDC declared its intent with the world with an ultimatum. She couldn’t save the world when the Resurgence Despair Coalition starts its reclamation of the world by slaughtering everyone in their path. It caused her to flee the world before she would be caught, but all the cultists, in turn, knew sooner or later these bastards would retake their worlds to recreate the mortals that worshiped them previously.

All the planets she would flee to with mortals on them were brutally crushed because they were all purged with fire or any other magical element. It caused her to stop running and hide on one of those planets devoid of life to fight the full might of the Resurgence Despair Coalition. Meagan reached the end of her rope all because she didn’t want any more worlds to fall to the RDC’s Ruthlessness. The RDC decides to allow their Demon Slayer Champion, Alenia Ralocaryn, to fight the Grand Usurper.

Alenia was the last of her kind and was extremely pissed off to be fighting on her dead world of Elves. Meagan’s experiment in allowing some of these elves to live didn’t work out since Alenia is the last of them. Therefore, Alenia wanted to end Meagan’s life and existence brutally for all the grief that Meagan caused. It is why Alenia had a weapon forged to kill Meagan to get her last laugh specifically.

Meagan was utterly afraid and didn’t hold up a candle to what Alenia had to go through to train to defeat the Fallen Angel. Alenia cared not if the weapon she wields would kill her; at least she’ll die happy for brutally killing the one that mercilessly killed her race. Her weapon was the Crimson Axe or Fallen Slayer Axe, and it was forged using the same materials used in the construction of Meagan and Matuna’s weapons. It countered Meagan’s weapon perfectly by disarming her of her weapon and taking Meagan by her head to look at the devastation of what she wrought.

Meagan’s reaction was palpable and remarkable to Alenia, and all it was that Meagan couldn’t help plea for forgiveness and didn’t want to die. It was fear for the first time in her life that caused this reaction to mortals to show that even Fallen Angels can show fear. Meagan pleas to Alenia with an apology for what she caused the High Elf to suffer through.

” I am so sorry for what I did to your people, Alenia! Please don’t kill me. I want to repent for what I’ve caused.”

Alenia took a bit to give Meagan the proper response, but all she did was laugh at it. All because Meagan didn’t spare any of the people she mercilessly murdered, why should Alenia spare her. Meagan’s tears start to fall because the High Elf that was going to kill her was the same that show her kindness. It didn’t click that Alenia had all this pent-up revenge on Meagan in an alternate life. They could have been best friends, but Alenia was going to murder her.

Afterward, Alenia brutally and mercilessly killed Meagan for all the crimes she committed in the cosmos, and Karma is a bitch. Where the last words from Alenia after she died from being feedback pulsed to death from her weapon. All the worlds devoid of life or punished for protecting a mass-murdering psychopath had to be reseeded by the Gods and Goddesses of the Resurgence Defense/Despair Coalition. Meagan was brutally murdered in a similar way she showed to others, with little to no remorse.

The Grand Usurper died that day, and it was one of the most celebrated days.

The Abyss acquired the Grand Usurper’s Soul. They recreated Meagan in their image by stealing a lifeless vessel and implanting her soul into it, and the soul transformed the body into a Fallen Angel. The Abyssal Grand Usurper has become a puppet to the Abyss. She has many Light-Based Monstrosities under her beckon and call, and now the stronger versions fight for the Abyss.

The Grand Usurper rises to bring damnation to all the worlds that worship the Goddess, Matuna!

Personality: In the beginning, until her betrayal against Goddess Matuna for handpicking her, Meagan defined by her many traits to slowly turn into a power-hungry Angel that wanted more. She was a self-righteous angel in need of wanting to be part of a religion underneath a God or Goddess and to spread their word and gain them more followers. Her head was in the right place, but the rejection was at every turn by these gods and goddesses.

They saw Meagan as a waste of time or space to give her a chance in their religion because of her mental state that might turn dark at any point. Until Meagan felt a powerful presence approaching her, Goddess Matuna of the Secret Order of the Crimson Stars. Meagan and Matuna hit it off generously because Meagan was naive and didn’t know the rules or politics of being a God or Goddess’s disciple. Therefore, Goddess Matuna had to disperse Meagan’s naivety because she wouldn’t allow anyone in her religion to be naive.

She trained Meagan to be the best of her disciples in giving her more and more responsibility that Meagan took in strides. Meagan gained the highest seat in the religion itself, as the Speaker by the wishes of Goddess Matuna. The annual meetings between all the Gods and Goddesses occurred, and it involved Goddess Matuna and her Speaker Meagan for the first time. Meagan saw the other Gods and Goddesses’ reactions to seeing Matuna being there instead of another, which shocked them. It had been like Matuna was hiding in plain sight for all these millennia, slowly building up her Order secretly.

Meagan held great respect for Matuna for finally coming out in the limelight and shocking everyone that the Order of the Crimson Stars will only protect worlds under their banner. It shows, Goddess Matuna wanted to be left alone after all this time. Meagan told all these Gods and Goddesses they should have picked her up instead, but that’s she’s part of the Order now. Goddess Matuna’s Order gained much clout with the announcement it made many people switch to the Order that had temples or churches on those worlds.

Meagan was developing more outspoken and power-hungry tendencies with every single word she spoke out. However, Meagan had never wanted to go based on her wishes to make herself the Order's Goddess. All this betray happened because of Meagan murdering her best friend because if she didn’t, the friend would kill her. It took the loss of her only true friend that Meagan loved dearly to make her snap into a vengeful, wrathful, vindictive Fallen Angel, only wanting to take all Meagan wanted from the one that betrayed her.

She’ll make Goddess Matuna feel her wrath of deserving the power that Matuna has for an extended time. Her grief has caused her to think irrationally and force her to go against Goddess Matuna’s declaration all those years prior. Meagan went to worlds and used her corrupted version of Photokinesis to start turning mortals and creatures into Light-Based Monstrosities that can only follow her command. She targeted planets with no care globally and wasn’t protected by Order of Crimson Stars’ Temples, while Meagan would have defended them previously.

All the death and destruction were on the head of Goddess Matuna and not her since Meagan didn’t stay long enough to see what had happened to these planet’s fate. The many-worlds thought Meagan was there to help them, but she did the opposite vindictively so and brutally. All because Meagan didn’t trust a mortal as much as she didn’t trust any gods or goddesses. Meagan’s downfall didn’t come at the hands of mortals or even their gods, but it was by her enormous ego.

She desperately wanted Goddess Matuna’s powers so badly she honestly thought she could take them easily by defeating Goddess Matuna in a one-on-one duel. It turns out Meagan couldn’t do the impossible to defeat Goddess Matuna all because the Crimson Sword was more remarkable than the Crimson Spear. Goddess Matuna defeated Meagan single handily in a crushing defeat but spared her life as long as she never returns to the Order Holy World or Homeworld to Matuna. Meagan didn’t have any natural choice to refuse the offer from Matuna.

If she did, Goddess Matuna would have killed her where she stood. Meagan did see Matuna’s disappointed look on her face, and it felt like an omission in causing the Speaker to get a Darkened Heart to everyone in the cosmos. Meagan’s heart torn itself up on what to do about everything, but she did decide to flee from Matuna’s homeworld. She had no idea the RDC followed her throughout the cosmos, and they wish Matuna killed her. Meagan appears in a mortal world that was different and had mages of light that used her specific corrupted version of it.

They were all part of the Grand Usurper’s Light Cult, and it was here that Meagan felt safe around mortals. These mortals healed her wounds and made her felt other emotions rather than spite and disgust. Her previous encounters with mortals wanted to make her feel like an object rather than what she had been. It shocks her that mortals were much more complex than she first thought, and her biases caused her to be blind to them. Meagan previously had to reject multiple advances by mortals, and it was tiring at this point.

Few mortals saw her as a goddess or reverence like an ally and friend within their hearts. They saw her as a goddess in her rights, but the entire planet is a cult for her well-being to make her feel better but reflect on her actions of cleansing planets. Meagan was enjoying her relaxing time in the cathedral that they built for her. She found herself on the other foot when a massive onslaught struck the planet, which meant the RDC. The RDC didn’t hear any of the pleas by those cultists as a mortal.

They saw them as brainwashed mortals that believed Meagan’s lies or are light-based monstrosities in human form. The RDC indiscriminately slaughter everyone on the cultist planet because they were destroying the plague, the Grand Usurper’s curse. Meagan did all this on planets that had no protection by the Order, but this caused Meagan to flee while all the men, women, and children being massacred.

She felt fear for the first time in her life since all these people saw her as salvation, but those cultists were fearless, and they knew the RDC was going to kill them for leaving their religion. Every planet Meagan would run to that had human populations on it, and the RDC eradicated them since the Grand Usurper’s vile heresy touched them. Meagan broke down into a depression and uncontrollably crying from all the death and devastation the RDC was causing.

She wanted it to stop since those RDC were maniacs, and they weren’t doing the cosmos any favors in doing this. She made her way to a planet that was already devoid of life, only for the Coalition to surround a world and make sure she wouldn’t be able to flee yet again. Sorrow filled Meagan’s heart with sadness for all those massacred in the name of the RDC’s gambit to break her. It worked wholeheartedly, and she was heartbroken and just felt like she wanted to die until the RDC’s champion by the name of Alenia came to her.

Alenia was one of the last living Elves from the world, and their confrontation was realized. Meagan’s lust for power causes her to understand what she wrought on the cosmos and forced her to want forgiveness and redemption. She had been blind to the damage she caused to these worlds and to their people living on these worlds she targeted. Alenia laughed in her face because she’ll have the revenge. Meagan’s death was horrific, and it caused Alenia to die too but with a smile on her face ending the rampage of the Grand Usurper.

There was only a single thing that Meagan wanted at the end of her life, and that was redemption.

The Abyss remade the Grand Usurper as an abyssal counterpart, and it managed to rekindle all vindictive, power-hungry nature of how Meagan operated in the past. Some things are missing in the abyssal image, like fear or any other lessons she learned. The Abyssal version remembers the pains of being defeated by Goddess Matuna. She accepts that people will try to stop her and her Light-Based Monstrosities to scourge the multiverse.

She hungers for much more power and will use the cults similarly to how the RDC treated them. All Mortals must feel helpful to something even though she’s not a savior, more like the eradicator of the world.

Signature Ability: Corrupted Photokinesis- Fallen Angels that have fallen to the darkest depths of vindictiveness and hate causes her Photokinesis to be corrupted. The corruption causes her Photokinesis to alter mortal’s soul, mind and transform their body into light-based monstrosities. These monsters Meagan can control to a significant degree since they are running on base instincts and need to be guided or ordered by her. This corrupting glow inside the souls of mortals and creatures comes from Meagan’s wings and eyes, but they have to glow. She can create light-based illusions or weapons made up of pure light.

Meagan uses these illusions to significant effect to make sure she can create an army of light-based monstrosities of mortals she controls.

Abilities: Flight- Fallen Angels have the same ability to fly as their white-winged counterparts, but they have a unique trait with their wings. They can significantly reduce the wing’s size, so it can be harder to cut it off of them. These sizes vary depending on their control on their wing size; Meagan got it down to an art form their smallest size is displayed in the picture. Fallen Angel’s maximum wingspan is similar to their white-winged counterparts.

Meagan’s strength and stamina allow her to fly some angels or other fallen angels out but will need a break not to tire herself out.

Blessing of The Grand Usurper- Meagan’s blessing can empower the light-based monstrosities to double their size, strength and to increase their numbers by hunting mortals. However, the gift cannot stop them from being killed, but it’ll take around thirty minutes more to kill them. These monstrosities gain an aura surrounding them that will cause craven individuals to flee. If you have a stronger will to overcome their presence, and you won’t run away.

The Crimson Spear, Master Wielder- Meagan mastered spears since it would be better to master them. There is a method to her madness, and it is because the Crimson Spear is unique and different from other weapons. Its other name is the Chaos Kali-Spear and had to be trained by Matuna to stop it from backfiring on her. As such, she unlocked its morphing ability to allow it to change from a spear to any long-ranged weapon. The Crimson Spear’s passive ability gathers ambient light energy to empower itself to become a spear of light.

Wordsmith, Brainwashing- Meagan can brainwash you by her speaking to you. All because her silver tongue is quite potent of a tool, but it usually only lasts as long as they believe her word or have a strong will against it.

Name: Meagan Eris Serra
Title: Bad Luck Eris
Background: 21, Female, Fallen Angel and Curator/Maid.

Appearance:


Meagan’s beauty holds nothing sinister within her being after being reborn but is still a Fallen Angel. Her reborn body has the black wings of being a Fallen Angel, which are beautiful. She has a look of sadness and many regrets for all she had caused as the Grand Usurper. Meagan wears the outfit above as her casual attire, but she has a sinking feeling of working as a maid or curator once. There are hints of a deep-seated fear welling in her heart and on her face trying to become what she had been before her more volatile emotions.

Summary: The Resurgence Despair Coalition ended the strife of what Meagan has wrought on the cosmos as the Grand Usurper. All those innocents that died in her search for godhood or a never-ending lust for power. They made her Despair and regretted all Meagan had done and wanted to atone, but it was way too late to do so. She was reborn with a new name and a new body by the Nexus as Meagan Eris Serra but had similarities to her previous life. Meagan chose to fight with the Nexus, but she was still tormented by flashes of nightmares or dreams of her life previously.

Meagan remembered being a maid or a curator at a library in her previous life before Goddess Matuna picked her to be part of the Order. In hindsight, she should have stayed the jobs she was being instead of becoming the Speaker of a religion. It was like all those words of advice from those other gods and goddesses were correct. Low and behold, Meagan will be fighting the Abyss to go to a simpler time before becoming the Order’s Speaker. There is a slight hint of distrust but hope that the Nexus will allow her to go back to her curator or maid duties.

Personality: Meagan had been reborn as Meagan E. Serra and has large amounts of regret and frequent nightmares during her sleep. The Nexus reborn her and gave her a chance to repent for her sins by fighting the Abyss. Meagan has some distrust still inside her, only towards the Nexus, but all she wants is redeemed for her crimes. She dreams about her previous life and saw her being a curator at a library or maid. It was a much simpler time than having the responsibility of an entire religion. In hindsight, she believes she should have never been Goddess Matuna’s Speaker for how much devastation was caused by her actions.

All those gods and goddesses were right about her one-hundred percent that she had something mentally wrong with her and she would be easily corrupted. Meagan is disgusted by her actions in not following the advice of those who saw for what she might become. She lied to herself that those gods and goddesses had no idea what she was going through in her previous life. They knew her more than she knew herself, and rediscovering that truth hurts her more than anything.

Meagan’s fears caused her to become reserved and introverted, besides being an outspoken arrogant hotheaded Angel to Fallen Angel. It was all because of her preconceived notion that Goddess Matuna was responsible for her best friend’s death. The one who did it was Meagan and not the Goddess or any other disciples of the Order. Her shortsightedness caused her not to think responsibility and stop her thoughts of rebellion against the Order. Meagan wants to apologize for everything she has caused and hates herself wholly by making Goddess Matuna disappointed in her.

The Nexus gave her a special gift to fight the Abyss, and she instantly noticed the handwriting as Goddess Matuna’s handwriting. It shocked her wholeheartedly, and the letter said, fight for what you believe in and not give yourself to the darkness again, my sweet disciple. As such, she was handed the Crimson Spear, but it was a completely new one instead of the one she used as the Grand Usurper. Meagan wants to return the favor Goddess Matuna has done by fighting the Abyss. She suffers to this day because of her vindictive nature and wants to move on from her past.

There have to be ways to control her corruption of Photokinesis better than she had done. She is afraid of her power because of what it accomplished to devoid planets of all life. Her fear caused her to make sure the light-based monstrosities only focused on the creations of the Abyssal Grand Usurper instead of mortals. If a mortal is around rather than another light-based horror, it will become passive and not attack them. As long as there is a light-based monstrosity around, they will primarily only attack them.

Signature Ability: Corrupted Photokinesis- Meagan is weaker now, but her mastery over the light and illusions still exist. She can corrupt the mind, soul, and body of living creatures only. Meagan can corrupt these living creatures through her black wings only. There’s a limiter on how many light-based monstrosities she can control at a time, and it is seven in total. She causes these light-based horrors to go to passivity so they cannot attack mortals.

Redeemed Abilities: Flight- As a Reborn Fallen Angel, her flight got weaker than a Fallen Angel that has existed for more than a millennia. Meagan has lost the lack of control to shrink her black wings and requires to fold them instead. She’s only able to fly for a maximum of three hours at a time before she’s completely exhausted. Her wingspan is the same length as other Fallen Angels or Angels that cause her troubles if she needs to enter buildings or tightly enclosed spaces.

The Crimson Spear, Novice Wielder- The Nexus had been gifted a brand new Crimson Spear by Goddess Matuna in her previous life and was given to her immediately. The Crimson Spear is heavily limited by Meagan’s lack of expertise or muscle memory. She has to learn the weapon entirely from scratch only because she needs it against the Abyss. The morphing abilities and the ability to gain ambient light energy surrounding the spear are locked. Meagan’s inexperience has caused the spear to have an ability to backfire on her that causes depletion of her reserves of stamina and magic.
