Name: Meta Knight

Universe: Kirby

Appearance:


Skill set/Abilities/Equipment:

- Galaxia: Meta Knight's signature weapon. Galaxia is a golden sword with a ruby embedded in its hilt and has six spikes protruding from its blade. Having been created by the fire god Photron, the sword is near unbreakable and has clashed with many different foes over the years. When charged up, it can fire a devastating beam of energy, capable of punching through steel.

- Dimensional Cape: The Dimensional Cape allows Meta Knight to manipulate space and is a powerful weapon in its own right. He commonly wraps it around himself in order to teleport short distances, and is also capable of turning into bat-like wings, which grant him the ability to fly. The cape can also be summoned at any time should he ever need it.

- Master Swordsman: With over 200 years of experience in combat, Meta Knight is an expert in the art of the blade. He has consistently proven himself to be a capable fighter, defeating warriors the likes of Queen Sectonia and Galacta Knight.

- Galaxia Darkness: Meta Knight's ultimate ability is Galaxia Darkness, wherein he uses his cape to engulf the surrounding area in darkness and petrify his enemies. He then performs a powerful slash with his sword, dealing huge amounts of damage.

Weaknesses: One of Meta Knight's weaknesses is his small stature, which makes him seem like a weird type of stuffed toy. Although this makes him quick and agile, he is also incredibly light and can be knocked away quite easily. Although he is incredibly durable, he can be knocked out by hard enough physical impacts. He is also arrogant at times, underestimating his opponent, which sometimes leads to his own downfall.

Background: Not much is known about Meta Knight. Legends say that he participated in a galactic war against the malevolent being known as Nightmare thousands of years ago as part of a group known as the Star Warriors. Although Nightmare was defeated, it came at a terrible price as all of the Star Warriors were killed in the resulting battle. All of them except for Meta Knight. He now resides im Dreamland, protecting it from universal threats that seek to destroy it.

Due to Meta Knight's way of doing things and his often-hidden intentions, the relationship between Kirby and Meta Knight is unpredictable in nature, and range from being bitter rivals to being steadfast allies to one another and can change at a moment's notice.

As a knight, he respects the code of chivalry and thus offers Kirby a sword whenever he challenges him to a duel. His goal is to be the greatest warrior in the galaxy, suggesting that he not only prides himself in strength and skill but that he also wishes to grow stronger.

Other Information: Interestingly, he never seems to want his face revealed, immediately retreating via his Dimensional Cape when his mask is broken and falls off. The reason for this is never explained.

In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer.
Tempered by the fires of Hell, his iron will remained steadfast through the passage that preys upon the weak. For he alone was the Hell Walker, the Unchained Predator, who sought retribution in all quarters, dark and light, fire and ice, in the beginning and the end, and he hunted the slaves of Doom with barbarous cruelty; for he passed through the divide as none but demon had before.
And in his conquest against the blackened souls of the doomed, his prowess was shown. In his crusade, the seraphim bestowed upon him terrible power and speed, and with his might he crushed the obsidian pillars of the Blood Temples. He set forth without pity upon the beasts of the nine circles. Unbreakable, incorruptible, unyielding, the Doom Slayer sought to end the dominion of the dark realm.
The age of his reckoning was uncounted. The scribes carved his name deep in the tablets of Hell across eons, and each battle etched terror in the hearts of the demons. They knew he would come, as he always had, as he always will, to feast on the blood of the wicked. For he alone could draw strength from his fallen foes, and ever his power grew, swift and unrelenting.
None could stand before the horde but the Doom Slayer. Despair spread before him like a plague, striking fear into the shadow-dwellers, driving them to deeper and darker pits. But from the depths of the abyss rose The Great One, a champion mightier than all who had come before. The Titan, of immeasurable power and ferocity. He strode upon the plain and faced the Doom Slayer, and a mighty battle was fought on the desolate plains. The Titan fought with the fury of the countless that had fallen at the Doom Slayer's hand, but there fell the Titan, and in his defeat the shadow horde were routed.
And in his terrible rancor between worlds and through time, the Hell Walker found the wretch who shall not be named, but in his heresy was loyal to his evil cause. The wretch adorned the Doom Slayer in a mighty armor, wrought in the forges of Hell, impenetrable and unyielding. With sword and shield of adamantine strength, the Doom Slayer set to banishing all that were left unbroken by his savagery to the void.
Yet as the mighty Titan fell and dread engulfed the armies of Doom, the demon priests of the Blood Temples laid a trap to capture this scourge of Hell. Insatiable, even by the vanquishing of the Great One, the Hell Walker sought prey in the tombs of the Blood Keep. And blinded by his fervor, the lure drew him in. The priests brought down the temple upon the Doom Slayer, and in his defeat entombed him in the cursed sarcophagus. The mark of the Doom Slayer was burned upon his crypt, a warning to all of Hell that the terror within must never be freed. There he lies still, and ever more, in silent suffering.
