Personality: Rythian is highly demanding. If you're going to work by his side, you have to be able to keep up or he'll leave you behind. Highly impatient when in the fray, but highly patient otherwise, he is an extremely aggressive yet intelligent and experienced individual. He's not the type of villain to usually trick the hero into doing action A or B, but he has been known to be highly deceptive and unorthodox. Overall, when people look at him, they think "Dangerous.".
Abilities/Weapons:
Rythian is immortal, among all things. He is also incredibly resilient to damage, making him a tough take down. His biggest weaknesses are high-power energy attacks and forcefields/energy shields, though his strengths more than overshadow these. He is a master in manipulating Dark Power, which is what caused his dark nature to begin with. Dark Power virtually corrupts any who accept it, and it makes said person incredibly strong and durable. He can also use this in combat to create a realm of sarkness or to create an insanely difficult to block beam or bolt of Dark Power that does massive damage to any target. He also has his own personal powers of flight and his Physical Poison Energy. PPE is an energy that he can summon and coat his body parts in to enhance the damage a strike does, as well as leave behind a radiant purple mark anywhere it makes contact on another person which creates a burning sensation that lasts about thirty seconds. He also has control over lightning snd the ability to create lightning from his body, and his sword, Vlaknir, can both funnel his PPE ability and reach temperatures approaching absolute zero.
It should be noted that he isn't incredibly slow either, and his speed is just barely considered superhuman.
Backstory: Rythian was born with his PPE ability, which he utilized to great effect in protecting his younger brother from bullies in school. When they were older, he became a powerful street-level crime fighter who claimed to fight in the name of keeping his brother safe.
It suddenly hit Rythian that his power wasn't enough when Chicago was destroyed completely by higher tier superhumans in a fight for humanity. When he realized he couldn't protect his brother anymore, he decided to search for power across the entire world that was within his grasp. What he found would change his life.
In an ancient ruin, Rythian found a sword full of ancient power called Vlaknir- a term for a tribal people unique to his universe that meant "Genocide." Despite the serious implications the name alone explained, Rythian took the sword for his own. Not only did it bestow the power of flight upon him, but it also granted him the ability to create lightning from his body. Those were the good things, but the bad thing was that it planted the first seed of evil into his mind.
Needing to be even dtronger to protect his only family from the highest tier of superhumans, he managed to find himself entangled in the realm of Dark Power, a source of power acceptable by anyone, but one that creates extreme paranoia and insanity in the individual. Unaware of this, and influenced by Vlaknir, he accepted the Dark Power and became the most powerful human to ever live.
His mind quickly succumbed to the Dark Power, however. He soon became extremely paranoid that he would overlook the smallest of threats to his brother, so the once hero turned on humanity and slaughtered everyone- human and superhuman- on the planet, save his brother.
The self-proclaimed deity Porliec summoned Rythian to his realm, where he granted him the status and additional powers of a "god". Rythian could now create anything that an individual desired from thin air, even if that individual was him.
Going off on a rampage across his universe, he came to be known in many cultures as an unmerciful and evil god, cursing civilizations with hardships and killing many jndividuals in a sacrificial manner to satisfy the sesire the Dark Power created. Many even came to look at him as an equivalent to the Devil or Hades.
One day, he went off in a fit of rage created by the need to satisfy the Dark Power within him, lost control, and slaughtered his own brother with his bare hands.
This made Porliec highly upset, as the reason he granted Rythian his status and abilities was because of his desire to protect his brother. With Rythian's brother's death and porliec's extreme disappointment, he reviked everything Rythian had been granted, save immortality, and cast off into another universe. There, he sat in self sorrow and fury until he deemed it fit that he returned to the outside world. He saw a chance to join an interesting group called the Shadow Eternity, and he's been working with them ever since.
Faction: Shadow Eternity
Note: This is nerfed from a character I made in an RP where the main group were the most powerful beings in the omniverse. If still too OP, then I shall nerf some more.
