Name: Kaine

Age: 1.760

Appearance:


Powers:
[Infernal Strength]
As a Dread Lord, Khaine has inherited some of the power of Baal. While his use of magic is limited, he possesses superhuman strength and peak human speed. He can lift up to 10 tons while in armour, and each of his blows can arrive with a force of 6 tons or more. His strength is such that he can easily punch through even the toughest of armour, and wield the heaviest of weapons.

[Son of Baal]
As a Demon of the Forge, Kaine is a magical being born from the Blood of Baal. Unlike most mortal beings, his body is a construct of magic, his 'soul' being a unique magical construct formed by the remnants of Baal's will. Like the rest of his species he is naturally filled with magic, although he uses it mainly to augment his natural physical prowess. As his body is kept alive by magic, instead of organs, it takes a lot more damage to put him down. While with most creatures you must target the vitals, against a Demon the only way to slay them is by damaging their body to the extent it can no longer hold itself together. Alternatively, weapons designed to kill demons are able to deal far more damage, exhausting the demon's magic to the point their body is unable to keep living. Should a Forge Demon be killed, their 'soul' and magical energy will be drained back to the World Forge, and fused once more with the Heart of Baal. Most demons are reincarnated, but Dreadlords are merely reborn, unless their soul is destroyed.

[Lord of War]
Kaine spent over a thousand years in constant combat as a Black Knight, honing his skills and physical prowess to the point of perfection, learning from hundreds of wars and millions of battles. He is a warrior whom's martial knowledge and skill outclasses mortal beings, his devotion to the martial arts making him an opponent to be feared. He is highly skilled with practically any melee weapon imaginable, although he's at his most dangerous when wielding his Reaper Blade. He is further a versed tactician, having been trained for over a hundred years, and having lead a nearly successful campaign to conquer the entirety of the Earth.

[Flight]
Due to his immense size and heavy armour, his wings are far from capable of carrying him. However, because of magic, they are able to defy the laws of physics, and Khaine is capable of flying at a reasonable pace.

[Dread Lord's Armaments]
With the power of the Forge, Kaine is capable of summoning a variety of weapons and armour. However, he rarely does so, instead relying on his blackened suit of Abyssal Plate. This armour functions like expertly forged steel plate mail, however the materials are significantly more sturdy than steel. They are especially resistant to flame and heat. He further wields the Reaper Blade, a powerful magical weapon granted only to the Dread Lords. This blade is bound to his being, and cannot be taken or wielded by another. It will always appear in his hand when he wishes for it, and it is incredibly dangerous. With a full length of nearly 2 meters, the titanic blade would be considered a greatsword to most others, but Kaine wields it in one hand. It's edge is magically heated, capable of melting it's way through solid metal with a little time. It's also very sharp, and practically indestructible as long as Kaine lives. Should Kaine die, another might take up the blade, although only if they bond with the blade will they be able to keep it.

Weaknesses:
[Divine Weaponry]
In the traditional sense, the Forge Demons, or the Sons of Baal, are very different from mythological demons. While violent, hateful and merciless, they are not inherently evil. Or at least no more so than an angry orc. However, many divine weaponry designed to destroy demons is capable of draining or fraying the magic keeping them alive, or containing their 'souls' after they die. These weapons are far more effective against Kaine than normal weaponry, although far from necessary to put him down.

[Bound by Honour]
As in mortal races, there is much variety in the Forge Demons. All are born of strife, embodying war and destruction. However, while some become brutal killing machines, others come to embody honourly combat, and the glory of battle. Kaine is considered incredibly kind for his species, and is often known to spare the life of a defeated opponent. However, he is also bound by honour. He will never engage in what he considers to be 'dishonourable conduct'. This includes breaking his word, attacking a guest, killing an opponent while they are sleeping, or breaking the terms of a duel. He is especially fond of duels and other tests of strength, although he is among the few that prefers not to fight to the death unless he deems it necessary.

Bio:
After his rise to the position of Dread Lord, Kaine quickly made a reputation for himself. While he was a highly capable commander and a skilled warrior, his kindness made him strange to many of his kin. He openly spoke out against the common practice of dragging helpless worlds into the World Forge, to be smelted down into weapons and machines of war. While he too revelled in the glory of combat, he wished to do so against worthy opponents, and considered the slaughter of innocents unseemly. However, he earned the respect of his peers when he successfully captured the city of Atlantis, which had been successfully holding off his predecessor, with the assistance of Samuel Damachai, an immensely powerful human mage. However, during said war, a duel took place that would forever change Kaine's life.

The atlanteans had created a series of powerful warriors to face the demons, cloned humans imbued with the powers of a demon, and covered in arcane channeling runes. These warriors, equipped with powerful magical weapons, presented a final front against the demonic army at the gates of Atlantis. The leader of the mortals challenged Kaine to a duel, and Kaine accepted. The battle was one-sided from the start, even amped by atlantean magic no mortal could stand up to a Dread Lord. Blow after blow rained down on the brave knight, but every time he was knocked down, he got back up. Even as Kaine ripped the man's weapon from his hand, the mortal punched the demon in the face. Only to reveal that he was holding a powerful AP grenade in his hand. The explosion ripped off part of Kaine's face, and left him permanently scarred, as well as severing the warrior's arm. And yet, as Kaine staggered back into stance, the warrior merely picked up his weapon with the remaining arm, facing off the Dread Lord. That day Kaine admitted defeat, and if it hadn't been for the intervention of Samuel Damachai, Atlantis would have been saved from destruction. The mortal took up the name Dreadslayer, and Kaine pronounced Dreadslayer his rival, to be faced again.

After many further encounters, the Dreadslayer and Kaine would face off one final time in front of the Australian Citadel. Even as his armies prepared to conquer the entire planet, Kaine was drawn into a duel once more. The war had become irrelevant, as these two warriors faced one another. The Dreadslayer had grown powerful, and the two were evenly matched. Blade met blade, fist met face, and blood hit the ground. The two fought until neither could stand, neither willing to stand down, neither willing to admit defeat. But, impossibly, the Dreadslayer rose, even as his blood poured down through his armour, even as his organs began to fail. Kaine's body was battered and bruised, and as his blade was smashed from his hand, the Dreadlsayer's weapon was laid to his neck. And for the first time in his life, Kaine surrendered willingly, knowing he had been bested. Moments after these words had been spoken, the Dreadslayer dropped dead, his wounds too much for his body to bear.

With his pride shattered, and his rival gone, Kaine retreated from the Dreadlsayer's world. He held his word, and forbid his soldiers from ever setting foot there again. However, he was no longer considered fit to lead, and he was stripped of his title. Enraged, Kaine slew the warrior who was intended to take his place, and the next, and the next. But even as the three Black Knights lay dead before him, Kaine knew that, more importantly than the judgement of his peers, he had lost face in his own eyes. So while he refused to sacrifice his title, he went into exile, travelling the worlds to find honour and glory among the stars. He rarely meets his kind nowadays, and his travels might forever change the way he perceives life.

There were too many enemies, and too much happening at once. Gin's kendo sword slammed into the wrist of his right hand, although it was unable to do much damage to the armour. At the same time Doom's spines began to push through the armour of his left hand, and he was forced to toss the little hothead across the room. What had begun as a duel was now an official clusterf*ck, with the prospect of even more enemies only fueling Khaine's sudden haste to dispatch those he now had. This was only worsened when the metal river below his feet exploded upwards to reveal a shouting Gram, an empowered punch slamming into Khaine's shoulder and pushing through the Darksteel plate to create a hole the size of a tennis ball. Had Khaine's anatomy been mortal, his shoulder joint would have been shattered, as well as several important parts of his sternum, and the muscles in his arm would've been torn beyond natural repair. Of course, Khaine was a Son of Baal, and such injuries were but a trifle to him. More importantly though, this showed that Gram was able to pierce the blacksteel plate, something that immediately made him the greatest threat in the room.

"Enough of this!" Shaking off Gin, Khaine's body contracted around Gram's hand, as the Tarkatten's other arm was grabbed by Khaine. There was an inevitable moment of surprise, as Khaine showed none of the expected signs of pain, and in fact seemed to have retained full use of the arm. Abusing this to the fullest, Khaine raised a clawed foot and kicked Gram in the face before he could pull away from the Dreadlord's grasp. The force of impact sent him flying towards the wall, but before he landed Khaine had another surprise in mind. "This ends now, for all of you!" With a gesture Khaine once more called on the World Forge, and a lance appeared from the ground. But instead of in front of Khaine, it had been called up at some distance. Gram found himself less than half a second from impacting with the lance, the force of which would almost certainly impale him.

Not waiting to see the effect the attack would have on the Tarkatten, Khaine called forth two cleaver-like blades. He whipped the first in a downward arc at Gin, his wrist twisting in a way no mortal creature could mimic. Even as Gin no doubt dodged or deflected this attack Khaine swung the second blade upwards to meet with Doom's inevitable assault, knowing the hotheaded creature would immediately attempt another charge after being cast off. Should Gram instead be the first to charge, it would merely make his task all the easier. "I will face all of you, and I will prove your failures. All who stand between me and my victim will fall to my blade!"

Gram rushed towards Khaine, but instead of attacking as Khaine had expected, he plunged his hand into the molten river below, aiming to save the wretch who had dared interfere. It seemed Gram truly cared more even for such a failure than for his own life. Or perhaps it was in the nature of mortals to act in such a foolish manner. For by letting his guard down, Gram had sealed both of their fates. Doom's suffering had merely been delayed. As Gram pulled the wretch from the fires and Doom swung at Khaine, Khaine made use of his vantage point to grab Gram by the back of the head, slamming him into the portal. While the molten metal might not burn Gram as it had Doom, the demonic nature of the place would inevitably damn him. The Blood of Baal carried within it the will of Baal, and the souls of a billion demons. Merely touching it brought agony to any mortal being, and extended exposure would warp almost all life into an extension of Baal's power. Another demons, built on the foundation of Gram's body.

Of course, before Gram could attempt his escape, another force intervened. Gin slammed into the side of Khaine's head, aiming a dropkick to interrupt the fight. However, the force of it was barely enough to make Khaine blink, and even redoubled through Vector manipulation the attack was nothing to the Dreadlord. As Gin cockily made his statement, however, Khaine found himself angered by the constant flow of fools interfering with his fight. This had begun as a duel, and yet somehow he couldn't go half a minute without another mindless moron jumping at his blade. "Wait your turn, mortal!" A swipe of Khaine's hand was aimed to send Gin slamming into the ground, although considering his human physiology, the blow was more likely to turn him into pudding if it landed.

Name: MetalPhantomon, or "Despair"
Age: unknown
Appearance:


Powers:
[Digimon Physiology]
Completely made out of data, given form by the power of the Digital World. Digimon are immune to most earth-based poisons and hazards, but are vulnerable to digital attacks. Those who know how to can actually corrupt the data of a digimon, altering or damaging it. It is also capable of traveling freely between the digital and non-digital realms.

[Herald of the Dark Ocean]
Metalphantomon possesses the power to alter dreams, and to mentally attack opponents by forcing them to live through endless nightmares. This ability was only enhanced as Metalphantomon visited the Dark Ocean, the mysterious realm that corrupts and twists everything that comes into contact with it. It's mental attacks cause it's victims to relive their worst moments, and be drowned in their despair. But they can be broken through with raw willpower, if the victim can confront their inner demons.

[Physical Stats]
As an Ultimate-Level Digimon, MetalPhantomon is far more physically powerful than your average human. He's able to react and mover faster than the speed of sound, slicing even bullets out of the air. Furthermore, he possesses enough physical strength to lift dozens of tons of mass with relative ease. Lastly, his durability is also immense. His body is able to withstand tank cannons and armour-piercing missiles with the same ease that most would survive light poking. It can also fly.

[Grave Scream]
Simply by speaking or screeching, Metalphantomon is able to rip the souls of his opponents from his body. Armour is useless against such an attack, and only magical resistance or soular resistance can allow it's victims to survive. Most powerful magical beings won't die immediately, although the sound is instantly fatal to weaker mortal creatures. Luckily, Metalphantomon can only rarely use this attack, as it consumes a large amount of energy.

Weaknesses:

[Megalomaniac]
While incredibly powerful, MetalPhantomon has the mindset of a traditional villain. He refuses to actually kill his enemies until he's spent at least ten minutes monologuing about their inevitable doom, and will often leave them to die without ascertaining his death. He enjoys playing with his food, drawing more joy from pain and suffering than from death. His lust for power and destruction also leaves him easy to predict, although he can occasionally be surprisingly cunning.

[Unstable Presence]
Ever since visiting the Dark Ocean, Metalphantomon doesn't quite 'belong' in the physical realm. His presence here is unstable, and he can be banished back to the Dark Ocean with relative ease. Specifically the Digivice, used by a Digidestined, is able to force him back to his dark realm. Although this only removes him temporarily, this makes him far easier to deal with. Magical rituals of banishment and technology designed to deal with dimensional anomalies may also be used to banish MetalPhantomon.

Bio:
In the universe of Digimon Savers, Metalphantomon was defeated by Thomas Norstein and MechGaomon. However, his data was drawn into the Dark Ocean by Daemon, and reconfigured. This new MetalPhantomon possessed even more malevolence, and now serves the Seven Great Demon Lords as an agent in the multiverse. By amassing the power of despair, he seeks to revive the sealed Lucemon, and call forth the almighty Ogudomon. Should he succeed, it would mean the end of hundreds of universes, as such powerful beings are nearly unstoppable.

Theme Song: will add later

Notice:
It has recently come to my attention that MetalPhantomon is, in fact, a Mega. However, I like the design of MetalPhantomon, and the plot I came up for with him is fun. Hence, I'll be keeping him, and stating he was severely depowered by his resurrection, and imply that Daemon is intentionally limiting MetalPhantomon's power for nefarious reasons.

Even as Gram was floored he anchored himself on the ground. He slid back half a meter, creating a fissure in the ground, before managing to pull back. Setting his blades in the stone, the Tarkatten slowly began pulling forward, as Khaine's footing slipped cm by cm. Even as this was happening, the impudent demon-like creature leaped at Khaine, once more displaying it's tactlessness. However, through pure coincidence, Khaine found itself at a disadvantage. As long as it held onto the chain it could not properly block Doom's assault, but if he let go he would have but moments before Gram was at his throat.

"Let's deal with you..." Letting go of the chain, Khaine swung to meet Doom midair. Doom's punch was stopped short as the armoured gauntlet slammed into his face, claws gripping his skull. "Once and for all!" Even as Doom's other hand grabbed Khaine's armoured forearm, the Dreadlord swung his victim fully around, slamming him into the ground. The frost barely had time to set before Doom was seemingly smashed through a thin layer of stone, into the stream of burning hot metal below. A portal had been opened to the great metal rivers of the World Forge, and Doom was being pushed into him, burning hot metals already streaming into his body. "Regenerate from THIS!" Khaine grinned beneath his helmet, the burning metals feeling comfortably warm to him.

Of course, in order to do this, Khaine had almost completely dropped his guard. He was well aware that Gram would attack him from the side any moment, but he was counting on two factors to save him. First, if Gram went for a lethal attack, Khaine would drop Doom into the molten metal. Regardless of his regenerative power, Doom would be encased in metal, unable to escape, trapped in another dimension. Secondly, Gram had made a vow of pacifism, and would not be quick to relinquish such vows. He was a broken warrior, and while his first strike might be mighty, it would not be a lethal blow. Knowing this, Khaine took pleasure in this momentary victory, and braced for impact.

Specify if it's zerg, flood, or tyranid. Cause those are all on different levels of power. The zerg are a plague, the flood are genocide, and the tyranid are the end of the universe.
