Old world's remnants: Dark organisms from another dimension that compose most of his body, and fuel his power. They are aimless consumers, but oddly enough they seem to have a habit of replicating or imitating habits and behaviours based on the hosts they take over, and cumulative add said information and evolve over time. In time, they took on the same behavior as predators and beasts of old, but they could emulate humans as well. But make no mistake, these creatures are incapable of emotion. They can take various shapes, and they can even encroach themselves in the bodies of others to take the shape of organs or the like, turning into parasites that slowly change their host into a creature of the old world.
Once they latch on the energy of an individual, they eat and eat voraciously as their appetite grows proportionately to the individual until they either die off from drowning or manage to overtake him. Without a proper host, their physical interference is weak, so they need something or someone nearby to consume in order to physically affect the environment. If not heir victims, then Zeke will do.
If they utterly drain someone from their energy (a process whose duration can vary, and is not quite instantaneous. The duration depends on the individual and the intensity of the onslaught, and is honestly better measured narrative. The one thing to not worry about is being instantly gulped unless you are literally a regular Joe.) , the body falls like an empty shell, ripe to become a new nest and puppet for the old world. However, it is a gradual process in most cases, even against the mightiest dark world organism you will find your energy being suckled slowly at the beginning, and only by maintaining contact can the vile energy forms keep draining at a faster and faster rate.
Since they eat whatever aura, energy or magic is near them, they are useful to cloak one's presence, as they will devour and remove all traces of magic residue. If they use a source of magic power, be it Zeke's own body or an external well, they can sustain themselves and even reach gargantuan sizes, enough to cloak an entire district! Note that the size doesn't equal potency, but rather the area of effect and influence, and how much the creatures can swallow at once rather than how strong or fast they can swallow. But as much as he can put a veneer over them, they're really just pots full of greed that will just eat energy, spells and spiritual matter proportionally to how much it sparks back, prioritizing the largest sources nearby when not directly controlled.)
Obviously, really large and powerful organisms are much more time consuming to breed and unleash than the regular grunts, which are usually around the incredible/fantastic range.
It isn't their raw power that is formidable, unless he wields them directly in his hands to complement his melee blows, which will then consume whatever they hit as if his fists were a giant black maw that bit you with heroic force, and swallowed the pieces whole. Small range, but formidable power and defence can be displayed when used to fight directly. Of course, he can make smaller constructs, which are subtle and difficult to immediately detect and serve as scouts or sentinels. He can even change their appearances to make clones, or illusions!
His more potent attacks involve gradually eroding energy with the said void constructs, which usually take the shapes of animals or mythical beasts he sends out from his own body, but can even turn humanoid and act independently from him. Under his direct command, or if fueled and sustained externally, they too can display magic ability, though it is usually limited unless he channels his own vessel's through them. Under him, they launch devastating attacks such as corrupted beams, blasts of fantastic lightning and similar magical attacks such as orbs, tendrils, chains etc. Said attacks usually range between the incredible and the fantastic, but if he has many organisms cast at once, he can empower them around the heroic range,though that is not nearly as fast or fluid.
Also, like most of his ranged options, he needs to shape and launch them himself, be they orbs, thunder-strikes or dark storms that seek the living through entire households and mark him of their presence.
Reaper's Eye: An eye with a golden gem-like iris. It's a prototype restoration project, as the original once belonged to an old wizard. He had a few modifications done to a sample so it could suit him better. It is a scoundrel's weapon, which allows sight all around his body, and seems to greatly enhance perception and reflexes to a full rank or see from great distances (miles away).
Starfire: The ability he inherited from his father. Ornating the black space are the stars, as bright as diamonds in the sky! He can freely summon small bursts of atomic flame (the explosions can reach the size of a small room, but the damage is mostly focused in the central focal point, which wouldn't be much larger than the size of a fist.) to complement his melee strikes, or charge up spectacular wide range explosions with a telegraphed delay, which while not utterly slow, is something that others can take advantage since they can react to his physical movement before the spell is unleashed, at least for the much larger and potent displays of control and power. He can also use these flames unorthodoxly, to propel himself or his strikes with greater force. He can fire them directly or have them erupt on the ground, but the latter two require more deliberate movement and are thus slightly more telegraphed. These flames do not merely burn, but shatter into the spirit and body with foreign energy that slowly chips away at one's vitality.
Flesh will crack and wounds will glow, assuming exposure is prolonged. If overtly exposed, one can even succumb to such an effect, as if the spirit itself was set being eaten by a wild star. Effectively, it is a Star-Aligned curse of extreme potency, and difficult to subjugate or halt. But it can be done, by a powerful healer or a mighty shield.
Dark reforming: Using darkness, he can reform anything short of annihilation, though reforming over and over will eventually exhaust him. That doesn’t mean that he can fight with fatal wounds though, though he might still laugh about it! One must differentiate this from healing however. His body is an hollow shell, it is incapable of healing. The magic is merely recreating the pieces and stitching them together, whether he wills it or not. But as long as he focuses his energy into this ability, he will quickly recover from damage, although he won't be able to focus on offence and vice versa.
For one who recreated their body with forbidden magic over and over to escape the clutch of death... is it his own body, or is he shackled by the very spells sustaining him? No, wait. In the first place... this isn't his old body. Is it?
Truth be told, while he can change his shape and form, he cannot become fully someone else (as in their look). Perhaps it is a limitation of his magic, his body's cells, or even an utterly psychological limiter. Part of it could be related to his frail sense of identity. If he changed endlessly into others over and over, he might truly forget who he is. Hence, he only fully shapeshifts into the forms of his prior vessels. Thus far, there are four.
Other Abilities: Warped Mind: It isnt clear if it is shielded by the powers of the dragon or something else, but it near impossible to read him. It's not that mental attacks won't work, but trying to peer into his thoughts or mind will result in nothing but static.
Enhanced body: Zeke's body is a powerful thing. If it can still be called human, it is only in pure biology. When it comes to feats, he is far beyond normal, and can even twist and turn in impossible ways or shape his body unnaturally, such as turning his biomass into eyes, reveal scales as tough as iron and sharpen his claws and fangs. Being broken again and again, his body adapted to damage, as was expected of him. After all, he is meant to be nothing more than a puppet vessel.
Unorthodoxly Skilled: Ezekiel's unpredictable nature and instincts make him a surprisingly dangerous fighter. He lacks any form, and his stance is that of a man who hasn't fought a day in his life, but he shows incredible acrobatic prowess and can read his opponents pretty well.
Chink: His spirit and body was once rent by a powerful sovreign, and that attack quite literally shattered his spirit. That was in fact a blessing, as the boy who tried to hold him back in the first place is no more, and he now has full control of his body. However, he took great damage, and while he laughs it off, there is a terrible scar he conceals in his chest. If he exerts himself too much, the illusion hiding it fades, revealing a crack of pure light running across his torso. Being struck in its center by a weapon holding enough supernatural force will greatly hurt him, far more than any wound could.
Equipment: Nothing.
Origin: The answer lies on the other side.
Weakness: Magic resistance, mental attacks, psychology, himself. While his reserves don’t exhaust easily at all, he can’t fire his strongest attacks QUICKLY over and over, but even if he did fire them over and over just because his energy reserves can take it doesn’t mean his body or mind can. In essence he is a more close quarters oriented mage. Healing over and over again and escaping the jaws of death is the same as replacing what was lost with degraded, corrupted parts. Especially when done on the fly, this is practically suicidal, as it fails to account for spiritual damage and merely superficially holds his body together, while straining his mind even further. If he acts like being decapitated and healing from that was nothing, it is only because he is an excellent liar, and so used to it that he has a talent for underplaying what is basically stitching your body with parasitic eldritch worms, and the short term benefits of the potent recovery are far outweighed by the long term price he has to pay. Like a debt he cannot afford to pay up after taking loan after loan of flesh, spiritual and brain matter, which will eventually damage him passively even with the healing taken into account.
Likes: Being loved, strength, lazing around, teasing people, sweet drinks, letting loose, getting motivated, thicc girls, pain, power, discovery.
Dislikes: His father, being chained, himself, loneliness, failure, feeling powerless, gnats, demons (especially a particular one).
