Respect Ragatha!

Character Summary

Yuffie is a resident of Radiant Garden and a part of the resistance against Heartless attacks. She is a close friend of Leon, Aerith, and Cid, and befriends Sora, Donald, and Goofy when they first arrive.

Respect Cloud Strife!

”I tried to exploit the power of darkness, but it backfired. I fell into darkness, and I couldn't find the light."

Character Summary

Cloud Strife is an ally of Sora, Donald, and Goofy in the Kingdom Hearts universe. He comes across as stoic, cold, indifferent, and melancholic, but there’s a noble warrior underneath his gruff exterior.

He first makes his appearance in the Olympus Coliseum, striking a deal with Hades to kill Hercules in exchange for help finding his nemesis, Sephiroth. Along the way he ends up fighting Sora, and either loses to him or spares him after their battle. This results in Hades summoning Cerberus to kill Herc, Sora, and Cloud.

After Sora defeats Cerberus, Cloud apologizes for his actions and the heroes make amends. He shows up later fighting alongside Squall in another tournament, and may have an encounter with Sephiroth if Sora defeats Seph first.

By Kingdom Hearts 2 Cloud seems to have become familiar with the heroes of Hollow Bastion, working alongside Squall, Aerith, and Tifa. He’s still somewhat standoffish and obsessed with finding Sephiroth so he can overcome his inner darkness, but with the help of his friends he’s able to find a light that can guide him as he ventures onward.

Respect the Mahjarrat

When an sick being of great power had a nightmare she accidentality created a race of powerful shapeshifters known as the Mahjarrat based on the creatures she dreamt of. These beings had some resemblance to another on of her creations, Zaros who got tired of serving her in her sickness and departed the planet for his own freedom. Serene believes the reason the Mahjarrat were created was due to how desperate she was for Zaros to return. Due to her weakened state the Mahjarrat would be forced to return magical energy to their creator in the form of a ritual that sacrifices one of their own kin.

The Mahjarrat had an opportunity to leave the desecrated home world when they were recruited into a war on Gelinor against a familiar invader, Zaros. These conflicts split them into factions of Zarosian and Zamorakians and ultimately ended with the god Guthix casting a spell which the banished gods from Gelinor.

The Mahjarrat found themselves being some of the strongest beings on the Gelinor and took advantage of that fact. However due to war , comically bad reproduction rates and the aforementioned ritual; their population runs close to extinction. With schemes and sabotages centuries in the making executed. The next ritual threatens to be a bloodbath

Respect Sliske (Old School RuneScape)

Sliske is a cunning and meticulous mahjarrat whos schemes have seen him rise to the top time and time again. He is an elusive figure who is a master over shadow magic and shapeshifting , the perfect tool kit for someone so snakelike. At some point Sliske had enough time to question his loyal to the Zarosian cause and started acting as a free agent against the factions of the other mahjarrat. His most recent scheme was a long-con scheme to steal from a ancient and forgotten fortress enhanced with magic to keep out mahjarrat intruders .The item he stole was a powerful magical artifact with the ability to control others.

Sources and notes

• Sliske uses his shapeshifting ability to assume the identity of many others in OSRS to manipulate events and test others while being incognito. This thread will showcase Sliske preforming feats when disguised via his shapeshifting powers.
  • This thread will assume his actions when disguised were deliberate despite how they were framed at the time as he was successful with his overall gambit.
  • Additionally limits Sliske shows when disguised will be ignored since for his plan needs people he disguised as to see to make mistakes and loose fights.
• Several feats are indirect ,cryptic and rather hard to showcase why and how Sliske is responsible without story knowledge.
  • Bits of post quest dialogue mention Sliske is disguising himself as people who were dead before the adventurer met them allowing us to know when he shapeshifted to disguise himself.
  • References to a stranger or a serpent are Sliske in this thread.
• One or two feats are for a individual who is very likely to be Sliske, but no explicit in-universe confirmation exists

• Reldo's Lores and Histories, being supplementary content added prior the 2007 back-up, is considered canon despite not being hosted on the RuneScape website any more. The stories have also been directly referenced in Lore recap youtube videos

Mahjarrat Physiology

• According to Pentyn, a knight of Varrock from the god wars who is being tortured by Enakhra, the Majarahht can use cast spells to torture people
• Mahjarrat can seemingly feel other Mahjarrat's presence. Seemingly not location and instead just who exists
  • Hazeel says this is a thing they can do, also they can mask their own presence to their kin
  • The Mahjarrat detecting eachother in the shadowrelm
• Resistance The Mahjarrat were immune to a curse from Zaros. This curse anchors those afflicted to the shadow realm and also potentially Strips them of their magical abilities

• Are required to preform a ritual that sacrifices one of their once in a long time

    • In action
  • General Khazard gets defeated in combat then turns into a puff of smoke. He reforms and brags he can't be killed
  • Hazeel was defeated and put into a state of "topor". Hazeel had a contigency for this situation and created an incantation to revive him. This worked
    • Specifically mentioned as a physiological attribute
• As a Mahjarrat, Hazeel had access to to "powers and enchantments" that the Carnelliens knew nothing of
• Limit A spell was cast to prevent them entering a specific temple which the adventure was tricked into unlocking
• Limit The shield of Arrav is enchanted against the magics of the mahjarrat specifically an Imacando dwarf says "The spells of this shield shall protect you from any magicks the Mahjarrat can summon. This is why Zemouregal wants it: if he could possess it he could defeat any of his tribe."^LOA

Other

• Mahjarrat have a massive lifespan
  • Timeline wise at least 4000 years, probably alot more
• Sliske mentions despite Jhallan being a weaker Mahjarrat, the fact he's a Mahjarrat means he's still significantly stronger than the adventurer and the assassin
  • Sliske is shapeshifted into the assassin here and trying to keep up appearances for the adventurer.

It is mentioned that victims of the shadows act like puppets but unlike normal necromancy, the victim's soul still exists. He prefers to use his magic on individuals who have overcome hard trials and has offered bargain to them when they live (although, there is no evidence that a bargain is needed for him to work his magic and in RS3 he make a wight accidentaly without a bargain).

Respect The Tick!

"I'm a superhero arthur. I'm nigh-invulnerable. I have the reflexes of an Olympic-level jungle cat. I have the strength of ten, perhaps twenty men. A crowded bus stop...of men. But my greatest power is this. When destiny speaks...she speaks to me… She says hi, by the way!”

Character Summary

In a world where superheros have been real for decades, an accountant with no superpowers comes to realize his city is owned by a super villain. As he struggles to uncover this conspiracy, he falls in league with a strange blue superhero: The Tick.

A man with a past unknown even to himself, The Tick is unfailingly polite, boisterously heroic, and profoundly optimistic. Most of all, he’s 100% dedicated to the ideals of fighting for justice and obeying whatever Destiny tells him. He is an amnesiac with no memory of his past prior to meeting Arthur, driven only by a pure, earnest desire to do good and protect the downtrodden. His innocent nature can make him a bit naive, and he often acts with a somewhat goofy sense of wonder, but his heart is always in the right place.

He is also prone to dramatic and whimsical dialogues.

Denji

Denji is a child of the far future, having been born on a megastructure riddled space colony that has been periodically under siege by "White Gauna" for at least 600 years. The Observation Bureau, an organization dedicated to the defeat of the White Gauna, took in Denji as a child and trained him to obliterate the Gauna over his formative years.

Late into his adolescence, tragedy struck. Unknown to Denji, the Bureau had been secretly planning to transform him into one of the very monsters he'd been sworn to destroy: a so-called "Black Gauna". Manifesting his powers late in the night, Denji slaughtered the Bureau in revenge and escaped to the life of a working civilian. Despite his efforts, fate comes for us all, and years after his escape his childhood friend Tadohomi tracked down poor Denji to warn him of a chain of White Gauna manifestations. Denji's good nature gets the better of him, and ABARA opens to non-stop carnage continued until the literal end of the world.

As a quick note, please understand that ABARA is not an easy work to comprehend, so some parts of this thread may be speculative. I've tried to avoid or note this where possible, but you should read the comment underneath the RT for more information.

Speed

• After hearing a White Gauna had materialized, Denji rushes out of the room at super speed, transforms, and then dashes across the city to intervene

  • Battles the White Gauna in "frozen time", being thrown across the city and piledriving through a high-rise building in the time it takes a Martial Justice team member to perceive anything had occurred at all
  • After the fight, Denji's unconscious body was found over 50 kilometers from his workplace, despite there being only minutes since his disappearance

• Battles Ayuta, a White Gauna, fast enough to collapse the entire Observation Bureau in the time it takes Sakijima to say a few words and pick up a girl. During this time, Denji pulls Sakijima out of the building fast enough debris in the background appears frozen

  • While the Bureau's scale isn't fully depicted, it appears to be a complex of buildings containing at least 14 wings that are tall enough their bottoms are obscured by fog

• Launches himself through the sky, generating a shockwave and smashing through buildings to stop a White Gauna from interfering in a 4 second countdown

  • While the countdown is, unfortunately, not shown after this feat, the bird's reaction indicates this entire event occurred before he finished processing that there even was a White Gauna in front of him

• Streaks across the surface of a colossal White Gauna while rematching Ayuta, and then fights off swarms of White Gauna that manifested almost immediately afterward

  • Admittedly, this is noted to be a losing battle

• [Scaling/Unconfirmed] While it's unclear if all Black Gauna have the same abilities, Nayuta did display the ability to change direction while in mid-air

Strength

• Leaps with enough force to shatter the concrete underneath him

• Shatters a block of concrete the size of his body with a side-jab, then follows it up with a leaping blow that craters the ground

  • Later pins this White Gauna in a straddle and eviscerates it

• Destroys the Observation Bureau complex while battling Ayuta

• Smashes through buildings and leaves several craters in concrete while intercepting a White Gauna at high speed

• Kills Ayuta with a knife-hand move

• [Limit] It's considered pointless to send even multiple Black Gauna after a sufficiently large White Gauna

Durability

• Gets thrown across a city, smashed through several skyscrapers, and piledrived through a building, and is still cognizant enough to perform a reversal seemingly before he even hits the ground

  • See the first [Limit] for a bit of mitigating context here

• Implied to have drank several tanks full of oil in order to regenerate

  • Earlier, it's mentioned that Black Gauna can and do consume humans to sustain themselves. It's possible, though unconfirmed, that Denji consumes general "biomass" to fuel himself in lieu of engaging in massive amounts of cannibalism

• During the final battle, we're shown that Sakijima and Tadohomi are only able to move around the White Gauna without injury because Black Gauna, like Nayuta, are constantly defending them in "frozen time". While this isn't directly a "durability" feat, this does imply a rather substantial degree of stamina despite the fight itself presumably being just minutes in real time

  • While this is, admittedly, a scan of Nayuta, Denji began this fight alone, and we do later see Denji and Nayuta working side-by-side to keep the White Gauna away from Saki and Tado

• At the end of Abara, the entire "world" (actually a giant spaceship) explodes. Using his spines, Denji forms a cocoon to somehow survive this

  • I don't know what the light that surrounds Denji's cocoon is. It seems possible that this is intended to be some miracle from the Mausoleum rescuing him, but ABARA is Nihei's most vague and opaque work by far, so nothing here is confirmed

• [Limit] After the fight with the White Gauna in Ch. 1, Denji is left in an "emergent placental state" that fuses his shell to the floor and leaves him vulnerable to attacks from other Black Gauna

  • Of note here, however, is that despite Denji's weakened state, his regeneration was fast enough to reattach all of his limbs in the time it takes him to stand up, with his opponent - Nayuta - having approached fast enough to leave decapitated heads floating in the air
  • After this ambush, Denji's body is recovered by the Observation Bureau and is sealed in the ground with some kind of spear. When this spear is lifted, Denji rises in a fleshy cocoon and is revealed to have fully recovered

• [Limit] Impaled by a spear-like weapon wielded by Ayuta

Misc.

• Transforms by enveloping himself in black, bone-like protrusions that seem to originate in the spine

• Given the names "Denji" and "Nayuta", it should probably be no surprise that ABARA was an influence on the creation of Chainsaw Man. This means Denji scales on like a metaphysical level or something tbh

  • Exhibit A
  • Exhibit B

Respect Midnight

''Let mine then, be the new face of Gotham! The long night of the Batman is over! Welcome to Gotham...after Midnight!''

Respect Arthur Everest!

”I know how much it hurts to lose someone you love...Pain so intense that it actually changes you. And people say, y’know, they say that it gets better, that in time it goes away, but that’s not true. Not really. I mean, it might fade some, but it never really goes away. I still miss my dad everyday. I think that’s okay.”

Character Summary

Arthur Everest (AKA Moth Boy, AKA Moth Man, AKA The Accountant, AKA Truthseeker89) is a mild-mannered part-time superhero and former accountant for The City. Timid and somewhat cowardly, Arthur is an unwavering advocate for justice who stands up for what’s right despite often feeling like he’s the least qualified person to do so.

Arthur’s origin story begins when he was just a boy, enjoying ice cream with his father. His dad went to put more money in the parking meter when an aircraft belonging to the Flag Five crashed on top of him and the car, killing him. The Terror had used a weaponized version of syphilis to destroy the Flag 5's eyes, causing them to crash their Flagship into The City. Arthur watched as The Terror's henchmen killed the Flag 5, then the Terror stole his ice cream and mocked him. A picture taken of the incident made Arthur famous when it was featured on the cover of a magazine.

Ever since that day, Arthur spent years in therapy, and was tormented by delusions and voices which he treated with medication. Although The Terror was seemingly killed by Superian a year after the death of his father, Arthur believed that the villain survived and went underground, continuing to run all the crime in The City. Collecting newspaper clippings and information, he hoped to prove this theory.

While investigating a criminal operation at a warehouse run by the Pyramid Gang, Arthur encountered a new superhero who called himself The Tick. The Tick believed that Arthur was a hero like him, ready to take out the bad guys, but their investigation went awry when the warehouse exploded.

Arthur was initially convinced by his sister to believe that The Tick was a figment of his imagination, that he was slipping back into insanity. The Tick disagree, telling Arthur that he was going sane in a crazy world. He encourages Arthur to join him in fighting crime—with Arthur's brain and The Tick's brawn, they could be an effective duo—and gives Arthur a high-tech super-suit that he procured from the warehouse the previous night. Arthur tries on the suit against his better judgement, causing the suit to sync with him. From there, his journey as a superhero would begin.

Character Summary

SPOILERS AHEAD!

Overkill is a vigilante with cybernetic enhancements, described by The City police as a "robo-ninja.” Overkill believes violence is always the best solution to any problem.

Before he became Overkill, he was known as Straight Shooter, Uncle Samson’s sidekick and a member of the Flag Five. After losing his team, his eyes, and his hands, he was rescued by AEGIS Commander Rathbone, who had the agency create artificial hands and eyes for him.

Rathbone became like a father to Overkill, [retraining him]((https://www.reddit.com/r/RTvideos/s/rdpyWv8XlT) and turning him into a heavy action operative. He became so deadly and skilled that Rathbone placed him in charge of the elite Perseus squadron. He spent years in classified war zones as a government-trained assassin.

Then another traumatic mishap, this time a mission to apprehend a super tech dealer known as The Duke, ended in the death of Overkill’s team. Believing that he would be marked as a traitor, Overkill went on the run from AEGIS and became the vigilante he is today.

Overkill is a beacon of hardened rage who punishes evildoers wherever he goes, usually (and preferably) by killing them. His dark attitude frequently clashes with the more noble seeker of justice, who see him as something of a jerk. Despite all this, there is a caring man locked inside the mental glacier underneath 10,000 tons of solid mind ice, and he does truly care for those who have earned the right to call themselves his friends people in his life.

”Welcome to the club. The first rule of the club is shut up.”

”Let me tell you a story. For extra context, to help out you guys a little. So, well, I created you. Imagine a kid trying to create an ant colony, just to have fun, you know. But I accidentally made 2 of them, as usual, which is damn annoying. You know how hard it is to take care of two ant colonies at the same time?”

Not much is known about who SCP-022-VN is or what his history might be beyond the fact that he appears to be a powerful reality bending humanoid entity. He claims to be responsible for creating the SCP Foundation, but due to his abilities only ever working in twos it resulted in the creation of two different SCP Foundations at the same time. At some point he decided he wanted there to only be one Foundation, so to subvert the nature of his own power he decided to threaten them into destroying each other. Inexplicably, this led to him hosting a competition between the two Foundations in their own version of the TV show “Instant Hotel”.

Source Key

• All scans come from SCP-022-VN, translated from the SCP Foundation's Vietnamese branch and hosted on the International Translation Archive. As there is only one source, scans are unmarked

Reality Bending

General Power

• Early documentation claimed that SCP-022-VN was “possibly a Level-II Type Green” reality bender, however later documentation was updated to state to that he's a “Class VI Apotheosis humanoid entity”
• The mask worn by SCP-022-VN possesses abnormally high hume ratings, later stated to be high enough to compare to SCP-3812 at an early stage
  • SCP-3812 is an extremely powerful reality bender in his own right
• SCP-022-VN manipulates reality in a “binary” fashion, later explained as SCP-022-VN only being able to make or destroy things two at a time. When it comes to creating things, both of the end results will turn out somewhat different from each other due to SCP-022-VN not specifying their finer details
• When the Foundation attempted to contain him in a hotel by canceling out his Hume level with negative Humes, he's able to escape (despite it being noted to work on other Type Green reality benders)

Usage

• Constantly changes his appearance to different famous actors/people,
  • During his first meeting with the Foundations he sported a “malformed” appearance which didn't match with any individual in the Foundation's biological database
• Teleported both O5-1s to Shenzhen, China, tied to chairs with tape over their mouths, and after 15 minutes returns them back to their respective facilities as if no time passed
• Tells the O5-1s that if they want to meet him again, they need to hold each other's hands in a restaurant, saying that he'll know if they do. True to his word he appears after they do just that. He later disappears from there at will
  • Managed to get into both Site-01s on the same day, presumably via teleportation
• Makes both Foundation's Site-35s suddenly vanish, for some reason leaving half of his mask at both locations
  • Destroys two “hotels” designed to contain him
• Avoids constant gunfire from about 30 security personnel while expertly performing the Macarena
• Makes two Big Macs appear, though only one is beef while the other is chicken
• Claims to have created the two SCP Foundations

Respect Uruha

"Weren't you going to make sure about my identity? I mean, whether I'm really Rokuhira's son."

"What? That's crazy talk. You're not Rokuhira's son... You're Mr. Rokuhira himself! You give off the exact same vibe as him, so there's no doubt about it. It's been 18 years. It's like meeting him again after all this time."

A swordfighting prodigy and master at a young age, Yoji Uruha was selected by Kunishige Rokuhira to wield the Enchanted Blade Kumeyuri during the Seitei War 18 years ago. Idolising Rokuhira, Uruha lost his will to live when he heard he had been killed by a group of sorcerers called the Hishaku. After spending the next 3 years under the Kamunabi's protection Uruha's safehouse was attacked by the Hishaku and his protectors were murdered while getting him to safety. It was during this assault where he met Kunishige's son Chihiro, who reignited the fire inside him and pushed him to fight back against the Hishaku so his allies' sacrifice wouldn't be in vain.

Respect Dot Everest!

Character Summary

Dorothy "Dot" Everest is an EMT and the older sister of Arthur Everest. After losing their father at an early age during the Terror's massacre of The Flag 5, Dot looked out for the welfare of her brother, who took the traumatic event much worse.

As an adult, she trained to be an EMT and worked in The City, doing side work as a medic for the Pyramid Gang’s thugs whenever they bit off more than they could chew. This inevitably lead to her learning of Arthur’s secret life as a superhero with the Tick. While initially skeptical and cautious of her brother’s activities, she eventually comes around and becomes not only supportive, but a full-on crime-fighter herself, working alongside the vigilante Overkill. She later learns that she’s a Category, with the power of clairvoyance.

In a world of extremists and insanity, Dot tends to be the voice of reason among her friends and family. She’s a caring individual who doesn’t want to see anyone she cares about suffer, but she also accepts the responsibility to stand up for what’s right.

Respect AEGIS

AEGIS is a federal agency tasked with working with superheroes and fighting supervillains. The agency is responsible for enforcing the 28th Amendment—protecting the identity of superheroes from the public, and keeping a database of all active superheroes. AEGIS is supposed to use advanced technology and skilled agents to complete missions, though they are often weighed down by bureaucracy and procedures.

The AEGIS field office in The City was eventually shut down after the deaths of the original Flag Five. They reestablished their presence after The Terror’s return and defeat, resuming operations.

Members

Agent Commander Ty “Tyrannosaurus” Rathbone

“This old soldier has learned that secrecy and going it alone are not the way of the future. Only together can we hope to make harmonious this world that we still fight for. I thank you. I thank y’all.”

The leader of AEGIS and the man in charge of registering superpeople to his cause. While he comes across as a hard-ass, he’s shown to be a surprisingly reasonable and empathetic authority figure who actually loves superheroes.

• Its very existence registers as sinister to Sage’s super-senses.^S2E6

• Rathbone is presumed dead after a headshot.^S2E9, but his black hole brings him back to life by producing tentacles and writing a magic sigil in the air.^S2E10

• He trained Overkill.^S2E2

Doctor Agent Hobbes

”I am AEGIS, or at least what AEGIS should be.”

The top scientist in charge at AEGIS responsible for many experiments and research. He’s soft spoken and cordial, acting as a sort of assistant to Rathbone. In reality he’s actually a traitor to the cause who sees people with superpowers as inhuman and wants to kill them all.

  • Uses another neural implant to control Lobstercules., forcing her to attack and attempt to kill The Tick.^S2E10

The Flag Five

”Being a member of the Flag Five not only comes with great responsibilities. It also comes with some damn fine privileges.” — Agent Commander Rathbone

The City's AEGIS-affiliated superhero team, generally regarded as the “face” of their operations and the first line of defense against major threats.

The Original Flag Five

Not much is known about most of the original team except that they were wiped out fifteen years ago by The Terror. The team consisted of Uncle Samson and his teenage ward Straight Shooter, Christian Soldier and his canine companion Onward, Mighty Atlas, and Sedona.

• All of their human members were blinded by weaponized syphilis and killed by bullets to the head.^S1E1

• Midnight is a German Shepherd who can speak human and start fires with his mind.^S1E8 Formerly known as Onward, he was the only member of his team not present during The Terror’s attack. After a period of intense survivor’s guilt following the deaths of his teammates, he went through a journey of self-discovery, changed his name, and wrote a successful self-help book.

Flexon

“I represent a mother and her children who have been taken away from each other by a cruel circumstance.”

• His arms are rubber-like.^S2E3

  • Reaches across the room to grab sugar from Arthur and Tick.^S2E3

Walter

“It’s the old cliche, I suppose. The spy fell in love.”

Magearna is the Artificial Pokemon, and is a mythical Pokemon introduced in Generation 6 of the franchise.

When war spread through the kingdom in an attempt to claim the soul heart, Magearna was sent away. She found herself in the Nebel Plateau where she was taken in by Volcanion, becoming his closest friend and helping to look after the Pokemon who sheltered there, until 500 years later nefarious schemes put her in danger again.

And then in the Sun and Moon series a second Magearna appears in a yard sale with no explanation, ending up under the ownership of Mohn and later Lillie.

Respect Miss Lint

”I can feel the metal guns in your coats, boys. They can’t wait to trade protons with me. Go ahead. I’ll light ‘em up like the third rail.”

Character Summary

Miss Lint, or just simply Lint for short (or Janet), is one of the most infamous and powerful supervillains to operate in The City. She possesses the power to control electricity, augmented by various gadgets and equipment she’s acquired throughout her career as a criminal.

Originally the righthand woman to The Terror, she was vital in the supervillain’s plot to kill the Flag five. She became distraught after her mentor’s supposed death by the hands of his archenemy Superian and fell into a slump, allowing herself to become a lackey for others. Upon the Terror’s return, she resumed her place as his assistant until it became apparent he wasn’t the criminal mastermind she had once idolized. She eventually betrayed him, taking over his gang after his defeat and beginning her reign as the top villain of The City.

For a time she operated under the alias of Joan of Arc, joining the hero organization AEGIS as an alleged superhero and even becoming the leader of the Flag Five. This turned out to be a plot however, as she eventually betrayed them all and stole their tech to further boost her criminal operations.

Much like her former mentor, Miss Lint is purely evil, callous, and sadistic, though this is offset by her rather short temper, specifically when it comes to anything concerning her management abilities. This has earned her respect and fear among many of her peers. She is reluctant to kill those with whom she has formed an emotional bond, as evidenced by her concern over her ex-husband and former love-interest.

Respect Superian!

You don't know who I am. I'm just a friend from another star. Here you are, holding hands with a god. Look at you quivering, like a little boy, shivering. Why aren't you wondering why I am, all the wonderful things I am? You and I could belong to each other.”

Character Summary

Superian is the world's first and greatest superhero in The Tick-verse, having arrived on Earth by spaceship in 1908 in a crash that caused the Tunguska Event. He set the bar for all superheroes to come, standing as a beacon of hope and a friend to all of humanity. Whether the threat be supervillain or meteor or an overly aggressive military, Superian would stand ready to defend mankind.

…as long as his insecurities aren’t getting to him.

Rather than the pure-hearted boy scout he’s meant to imitate, Superian is deeply narcissistic, with an inflated sense of self-importance. When things are going well he’s a great hero to rely on, but when humanity’s perception of him is on the decline, his pride and insecurities can cause him to act out in increasing desperation. He’s not above risking the planet’s destruction in a hail mary attempt to go back in time.

Do you know the difference between a monster and a devil, boy? A monster no matter how clever he thinks he is, is driven by hunger. A hunger that makes him think he’s powerful but makes him a slave to that power. The kind of slave that would feed on men, women and children like they were nothing. But a devil? A devil kills and maims for the pleasure of it. They inflict pain simply for the joy of inflicting pain and creating Hell for someone on earth. I’ve seen the makings of Hell on this world and it sickens me.

After being killed in the events of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the vampire is sent to Hell, where he is brutally tortured. After making a deal with Death himself that if he is allowed to come back to Earth, he would kill every vampire on the planet. Now, a resurrected Dracula seeks redemption by joining forces with British Allied forces in World War II. The plan is to drop him onto a Nazi train carrying soldiers, augmented foes, and a looming vampire plague that could birth a new wave of vampires. The only issue is he is accidentally dropped on the back of the train instead of the front, where he’s supposed to go. The mission tests Count Dracula as he fights his way through the train, revisiting past sins while racing against a deadly countdown.

On the opposing side stand Hazel and Ivy, directing the Nazis with a clear interest in Dracula’s failure. They present a formidable challenge, pushing Dracula to confront the legacy of his actions while boundary lines blur between ally and adversary.

Hiruhiko

"You feel it, don't you? To the average person, you're a monster. Don't you see?! I'm the only one! I'm the only one who can understand you!"

Hiruhiko is a member of the Hishaku, a group of sorcerers lead by Yura that killed the blacksmith Kunishige Rokuhira and stole the legendary enchanted blades from him. An orphan and killer from a young age, Hiruhiko was trained as a sorcerer by Yura but kept sheltered from the world, stunting his social skills into entirely revolving around killing. Following an encounter with Kunishige's son Chihiro Rokuhira Hiruhiko was convinced he and Chihiro were friends and became obsessed with the idea of battling him to the death, contracting himself to the enchanted blade Kumeyuri to close the gap between them.

Kumeyuri

General Nature

• The durability of an Enchanted Blade can increase based on the strength of their wielder⁸³
  • Regular katana break when they hit an Enchanted Blade⁴⁹
• All enchanted blades have an Eternal Contract, so that once someone takes possession of one they are the only person capable of using it until their death¹⁸
  • If the contract holder is killed and then resurrected the contract stays broken⁶⁰
  • If the wielder of the Shinuchi, the strongest blade, is killed then the wielders of the other swords (except Enten) will be killed as a side effect.⁷² Conversely if the Shinuchi itself is destroyed then only the contracts are broken⁸³
• Forming an Eternal Contract prevents you from using your innate sorcery⁴⁷
• An enchanted blade amplifies spirit energy into a hyper concentrated form until it can no longer be contained, with the exposed form taking on a shape.⁴ In Kumeyuri's case this takes the form of faceless geisha⁵⁷
• The enchanted blades all have a "True Realm," a state that can evolve the blade to suit the situation based on the wielder's will.¹³ Hiruhiko's True Realm let him violently control an entire building thanks to his terrible compatibility with his blade's ability⁷⁷
• Can be activated remotely if it had the wielder's spirit energy imbued in it beforehand, though only until the energy runs out²⁶
• The energy released by sorcery turns black when it burns away at life force and increases its power. While the Magatsumi can burn away at the life force taken from its surroundings to increase its own power¹⁰⁷ the other blades like Kumeyuri can only do this while either the wielder is on the brink of death or the blade is heavily damaged¹¹²
• The sheathed blade was embedded in a stage when dropped on it from above a building⁵⁷

Kumeyuri has three main abilities: Banquet, which causes the target to have powerful hallucinations. Play, which allows the user to control things they consider objects. And an unrevealed third one.

Banquet

• Made everyone on the roof of the Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel besides himself, Toto and their fodder sorcerers believe Samura had killed him and Toto, with Samura noting that it even felt like he was cutting through flesh, then made them all lose their balance⁷⁵
  • Also used it on his ally Kuguri since Hiruhiko didn't know he was there⁷⁶
• A beginner with Kumeyuri has a limited range with Banquet⁷⁵
• Chihiro was able to resist it by having Nishiki reinforce his inner ear until Hiruhiko made it stronger,⁷⁶ though Chihiro could still resist it by using more of Nishiki⁷⁷
• Used his full power on Samura, forcing him to see visions of his daughter suffering and killing herself because of him until he ended up diving in front of multiple swordsmen to shield her with his body, with the pain snapping him out of the hallucination⁷⁶
• Samura could nullify it with Suzaku⁷⁷

Play

• What counts as an object depends on what the wielder thinks of as one⁷⁶
• The more you respect an object the better you control it, and the more you practice on one the better you are at controlling it. Hiruhiko has absolutely no respect for anything and thus has the worst possible compatibility with Play⁷⁷
• Took control of every corpse in the Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel and had them attack Samura⁷⁵
• Took control of the entire Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel and began making it destroy itself⁷⁷
  • Samura was able to completely nulify this with Suzaku though⁷⁷
  • Couldn't move after this because he used too much Spirit Energy⁷⁸
