Name: Acacia

Race: Human

Affiliation: Nexus Elites

Age: 26

Height: 6’ 2

Weight: 165 lbs.

Appearance:


Physical Attributes

Strength: Exceptional (Incredible)

Agility: Exceptional (Incredible)

Constitution: Exceptional (Incredible)

Magic Ability - Low: Acacia’s knowledge of magic is incredibly limited but she is capable of reinforcing her body with mana to make herself faster, stronger, and more durable. This is her only magical skill but it is an extremely useful one that she can keep up constantly with almost no effort.

Other Abilities:

Soulsmith: An inborn ability considered to be one of the most heinous acts of heresy. Those capable of soulsmithing can perceive and interact with the souls of the dead. then they can bring those dead back into the world as powerful weapons with unique abilities. They are all unique weapons and are all incredibly durable as well. However this can only be used on a soul once. They cannot be continuously brought back again and again. Once their weapon form is completely destroyed they depart this world for the next one once more.

Police Database: The Nexus Police keep records on the more dangerous or strange supernaturals that roam the streets of the Nexus. Acacia can utilize these to find more information about any particular groups or individuals that have made themselves well known to the Nexus.

Swordsmanship: While Acacia is extremely skilled in the art of the sword by mortal standards but with her spirit weapons she attains an entirely new level of ability that surpasses mere human limitations. Both of the blades are aware and share a mental link with her that grants Acacia greater awareness with her weapons and allows her to use them better than anyone else.

Equipment:

Sarlic: Sarlic is an angry looking blade with red engravings with the rest of it appearing a dark grey color. It is a one handed blade that is slightly longer than Hauke. The blade devours pain like a man does food, and no enemy of Acacia will feel pain at its kiss. However this can be rectified if she asks Sarlic to sting and manages to hit her enemy with the sword. If Acacia does this then the enemy will instantly feel all the pain that Sarlic has devoured at once. This is incredibly surprising considering that the enemy would be feeling no pain right before the blade hits, and Sarlic needs only a scratch to sting its opponent. Once the sting has been made Sarlic must then refill its reserves to perform this attack again.

Sarlic also has the ability to communicate with Acacia and if the situation demands it the sword can move in her hands to counter blows she doesn’t expect or can't react to.

Hauke: In contrast to its sibling blade Hauke is covered in graceful blue script and is almost a white color. It is a little shorter than Sarlic but it for the most part it is the same shape and weight as its sibling. Hauke is a blade that causes no physical wounds. It will bounce off armor and can parry attacks but it passes through flesh like a spectral sword, but the effect it has makes it just as dangerous as its sibling. The blade tricks the mind into believing that the wounds are there which creates numerous phantom pains for the enemy. They see that there is nothing there but they still feel the agony all the same. If Hauke strikes the head and brain, the seat of the mind, then the mind is cut off from the rest of the body. It is put into a state of total sensory deprivations and cannot feel anything. At any time she wills Acacia can remove this pain or the separation of mind and body. This makes her extremely suited for missions that require the target to be captured.

Like Sarlic, Hauke is also capable of communing with Acacia and can manipulate itself if the need arises.

Origin: Almost nothing is known of this particular Elite’s history and even her reasons for joining the force are hidden from others. What is known is that she regards her weapons as her sons and is primarily sent out with a group to capture targets for interrogation but on occasion has crafted spirit weapons for members of the police force. The most anyone has managed to pry from her thoughts on the Nexus is that she dislikes fighting but her sons love it so much that she has an obligation to do so.

David

"There are magi who blow themselves up with make a single mistake or are too overt with their display of magic. It's not useless if it works fine 12 hours per day." Deborah tried to avert the topic Damn it, why you won't just give up...

Although he hid it under a neutral expression David was enjoying this immensely. There was rarely anything to be  "I didn't say that it was completely useless. I only said that it was useless to beings that prowled the night or darker places of this city instead of the day."

The living dream rested his cheek in the palm of his hand and clucked his tongue in false annoyance. "Maybe I should try a different conversation starter? Let's try... are you human or some other kind of entity? If you tell me what you are I'll tell you what I am."


Ann

Death gave Sarse a small frown before relenting and pulling her foot back. "This is a very boring start to the day, Little Angel. You will carry me as compensation for not letting me enjoy myself."

The tone in her voice offered no room for argument as her arms wrapped around him in a vice-like  grip. Ann paid no heed to the piddling magus for now. He wasn't important enough to warrant her attention right now.

“I need to know what you know.”

Name: Chief Intelligence Elite, Alvis

Race: Human

Affiliation: Nexus Police, Nexus Enforcers, Nexus Elites

Age: 7 (356)

Height: 4’ 3

Weight: 53 lbs.

Appearance:


Physical Attributes

Strength: Human (Incredible)

Agility: Human (Incredible)

Constitution: Human (Incredible)

Magic Ability: High - Alvis’ magic is mostly focused to enhance his natural capabilities as a telepath. All of these abilities require physical contact with the victim’s head to utilize them but they allow for much more freedom to look into the thoughts of others and even enter their mindscape. Within it and with the aid of mana he is able to alter and influence it himself in order to create an illusory world within someone’s mind where he retains total control. He is also capable of going through memories, creating new memories, and even removing them from someone’s mind. He can practically give them amnesia or go all the way and simply crush their mind and leave them as a vegetable. Of course, all of these things take time and constant contact with the subject’s head along with the fact that it can be resisted and fought against if your will or mind is strong enough. This is why most of his subjects are kept restrained in case of any incidents.

He is also capable of using mana to boost his physical performance tremendously and his multiple foci allow him to stay in this state for long amounts of time.

Other Abilities:

Telepath - High: Alvis was born with the natural ability to listen into the thoughts of the people around him. He honed this ability over time to look farther and farther within people until he was capable of ferreting out the deeper thoughts of other people without being noticed. He was prodigal for his age and eventually learned how to influence other people by sending his own thoughts and emotions to them masqueraded as their own. While he is certainly skilled a strong enough mind or will can force him out and people experienced with telepathy will be able to recognize his foreign influence and dismiss it.

Police Database: The Nexus Police keep records on the more dangerous or strange supernaturals that roam the streets of the Nexus. Alvis can utilize these to find more information about any particular groups or individuals that have made themselves well known to the Nexus.

Foci: The nature of magic is slightly different where Alvis comes from. He utilizes internal foci which are places within his body that he concentrates on to gather mana to perform his spells. He has a total of four which means that he is taking in four times more mana and has four times more the capacity of the average magus. With all of this surplus of mystical energy he is also capable of doing a rough transfusion to other magi who require it. Much is lost in the unwieldy process but it is possible.

Target of Interest: Due to his invaluable skill to extract information from practically anyone the police can keep restrained Alvis is considered an asset that is non expendable. He is generally accompanied by one Elite if it can be afforded and two Enforcers.

Equipment:

Rune Stones: A bag full of stones that have explosive runs inscribed onto them. With a single word Alvis can activate one or all of them so that they explode within the next couple of seconds. Each of these rocks explode with tremendous amount of force and can even harm the supernatural denizens of the Nexus grievously if they are uncareful.

Origin: Ages ago there was a mage who specialized in delving into the mind and exploring its secrets.
he prolonged his life as long as he could before needing to perform the culmination of his research. He took one of his own grandchildren and fused his mind with the child’s developing one. It left the elderly mage in a vegetative state for the rest of his life but the child survived and thrived with newfound intelligence and thinking that it could never have had before. This continued again and again until Alvis ended up on the receiving end of this process. His prodigal development and skill can all be ascribed to the fact that his mind is not truly his own even if he will not truly understand that fact until later. Because of this his mannerisms are quite businesslike and serious despite his appearance but his demeanor still has hints of childishness including his incessant curiosity.

Joining the Nexus police was a grueling process that was not helped by his age at all but he ultimately wormed his way into the police force. His skill in the art of delving into minds led to his ascent in the ranks of the

Weakness: He has some combat training but even with his physical enhancements he can be defeated by relatively skilled physical combatants even if they are weaker than him physically.

David

A bemused expression crossed David's face at the thought of such a fragile form of magecraft. It was horrendously impractical, unless, of course, you were only active at the night. "A type of magic that is easily disrupted by something as simple as sunlight? That must be so very difficult to use on a daily basis considering it would be useless in any situation during the day. It would only be useful for beings that call the night home, wouldn't it?"

The Scholarly grew a bit more alert with that statement but the Joyous still seemed utterly relaxed. Both were certain in their own way that if a fight were to break out they could incapacitate the woman in some way.


Ann

A frown crossed Ann's new, gentler face at the angel's response. "Such sterile thinking, Little Angel. You should be more expressive."

With more care than she usually had Death gently caressed Sarse and moved her face towards the angel and gave him a light kiss. Of course, the gentleness of her lips brushing against his own didn't stop her foot from slipping down his pants and brushing against his length.

David

The man gave off a small hum at Debora's words. "I do suppose it would be rude to pry, but considering I have nothing to do I think i'll just make myself comfortable until you're willing to tell me."

Perhaps if there had been something more interesting outside other than whatever had been tearing through buildings like tissue paper he would have left. Unfortunately for his hostess he really didn't want to go back out and he was a little curious about her. Generally people liked being in places other than dark, stuffy basements. He could always assume she was one of the many types of vampires but that would be foolhardy at best. This city was the worst place to mke assumptions.

With that line of thought concluded he pulled over a few dusty crates and the three dreams sat facing Deborah. The Joyous had simply decided to lean against David again while the Scholarly sat upright with the readiness to act the moment the woman became a threat. And with these two so close David felt no worry as he awaited any answer.


Ann

As her warm pillow stared at her Ann blinked her grey eyes a few times before her arms emerged from the confines of the angels shirt. One hand covered his eyes while the other pushed his head back down. Then her head moved up and nuzzled against his neck.

A small smirk appeared on her face as she whispered, "Good morning, Little Angel."

Death made a pensive sound as she rested on the angel. "I wonder if this would be more interesting if you were a woman as well." The hand pushing him down left its position, and Ann's finger began to trace the angel's features.

"You could be very beautiful one." In response to this Ann began the delicate shaping of her vessel into something akin to a female version of the Angel of Choice. Her grey eyes shifted into a gentle blue, skin changed to a more tanned tone, her hair changed from her natural black to a luxurious brown that matched Sarse's own hair perfectly, and shifted the length of the delicate locks so that they were shorter than Ann's previous form but longer than Sarse's own haircut.

She was undoubtedly beautiful but the fact that she looked so much like the angel made their positions seem rather disconcerting. As her hands pulled his head back up and uncovered his eyes Ann looked back up at the angel which seemed infinitely more sincere on the softer features of this feminine reflection of the angel.

"Is this appealing to you, Little Angel?"

David

The true dream looked around at the poor conditions of the basement. The darkness, dampness, and rampant dust made it a poor place to stay in for most humans. Definitely safer than staying out in the streets at night but in the day it wasn't the best place to be.

"It does seem like an adequate enough place to stay safe from the night but the day has already come." His face softened a bit. "You don't have to stay here. People deserve better than this."

It would be incorrect to call him a kind man. David had left too many people to the Joyous' ministrations to ever call himself a good person, but sometimes all people needed was a chance. And sometimes a chance is one too many. He would cross that bridge if it came up, but for now he just offered a hand.


Ann

Ann took a moment to contemplate the angel's statement before throwing Sarse over her left shoulder like a sack of potatoes and began to walk towards the closest hotel. "We can pick up your bike in the morning, Little Angel."

Then she turned towards the magus. "I already told you that if you wanted to follow I won't stop you. Just don't play with what's mine." With that said she resumed her leisurely stroll with her package.


PARIAH

The virus looked incredibly indecisive about whether or not he should leave. He shouldn't leave family alone. Sister was strong and Uncle was stronger so leaving him was fine, but Sister was soft. He wrapped his arms around her again and squeezed gently a few times to reaffirm this fact.

Yes, she was still soft. He needed to keep her safe. It was different from how he had felt with Uncle. Sister was powerful but fragile. So very delicate that if PARIAH tightened his hold and squeezed he could shatter bone and-

Yes. Very fragile.

PARIAH looked up at the taller girl and his hair and eyes shifted in hues to match her own and giggled. "I'll stay with you."

He wondered if this was love. Then he decided it didn't matter what it was. It existed, and that was the only thing that mattered.

David

Even though the human's query went unanswered David continued to search through the area much to the Scholarly's annoyance and the Joyous' amusement. That's when he stumbled across the dark haired lady in the room. She didn't seem that threatning at all but there was something in her eyes that made him a little uneasy. However the fact that both of the Lesser dreams stood next to him put David at ease.

"So is there any reason you're languishing in a basement or do you just prefer the dust and darkness?"


PARIAH

The virus gave the girl a calm smile and pulled himself off the red-eyed girl. "You're nice too, Sister."

Then a small frown covered his face as he asked, "Can we go eat now? I'm hungry."

As the tree descended PARIAH changed tactics. The tendrils withdrew and a single hand was raised to stop the tree. The ground cracked under the force as his tiny arm held up the oak but PARIAH was not phased in the slightest. Then his fist rammed into the darkened tree with enough force to send it flying back up even while in the knight's grip.

Taking advantage of the hopefully disturbed footing of his enemy PARIAH leaped at the knight with a fist aimed at the armored man's lower body.

Day 2

David

The living dream found himself in a small conundrum. He had spent the rest of the night sleeping on the bench which was fine but now two choices were before him as his back continued to ache. Exploring could be fun, especially since someone was kind enough to make it obvious that they were hiding in a basement, or he could go to that comfortable looking apartment and-

His thoughts of a comfortable stay were soon dashed by something bursting straight through the walls of the building and continuing to rampage around the area. With that in mind the Joyous had already opened up the doors and waltzed in while the Scholarly followed grumbling something about "devil children". David brought up the rear and gave his staff a small tap as the light in its center increased in intensity to illuminate most of the basement as he shut the doors.

He gave a good look around and called out to anyone. "Hello?"


PARIAH

There was an uncountable number of things that PARIAH was capable of, but consoling people was not one of them. He moved in front of his crying sister and sat down in front of her. The virus slowly inched over to her as his tendrils retracted and just wrapped his arms around her.

He said nothing because he didn't know what to say and he did nothing else because he didn't know what to do, but he could hold her. PARIAH was good at waiting and listening.


Ann

Death itself gave an exaggerated yawn to show how "tired" she was. She contemplated her next move for a few seconds before deciding. Then Ann grabbed the angel and lifted him in a bridal style carry. "So where's the hotel you're planning on going to, Little Angel?"

Name: The Network

Races:

"Creation's greatest enemy and the source of its ultimate demise cannot be underestimated. Creation's greatest enemy is the Created. "

The many races that form The Network:

Spoiler for Hiden:

Name: Shishin Hamar(also nicknamed Brain Spiders)

Appearance: The Shishin Hamar are enormous spiders the size of a wolf. Their legs have been warped and changed into white natural weapons capable of piercing through flesh and bone with ease. Their abdomens are a green color while the rest of their bodies are a dark shade of brown.

Physical Attributes

Strength: Supernatural

Agility: Exceptional

Constitution: Supernatural

Other Abilities:

Mind Eater: The Shishin Hamar grow in intellect by devouring the memories of their victims. This is a long and painful process that requires the target to be immobilized and absolute concentration from the spider. Young Shishin Hamar are little more than average beasts before their first meal but elder ones possess an intelligence that is frighteningly human.

Silk: The Shishin Hamar care capable of creating a strong and durable silk that it usually uses to immobilize its enemies so they can perform a Mind Eater.

Origin: One of the many twisted experiments of Robert Ryuusei, the Shishin Hamar were quickly brought into the fold of The Network and used to incredible effect in multiple battles.


Name: Brilhado

Appearance: The Brilhado are human-like in appearance and share the diversity of skin, hair, and eye colors that humans do. The only way to distinguish A Brilhado from a human are the fact that they have wings that allow them to fly. These wings are almost completely purple except for the ends that are tinged with red.

Physical Attributes

Strength: Supernatural

Agility: Supernatural(when flying Superhuman)

Constitution: Supernatural

Magical Ability - Medium to High: The Brilhado have capable necromancers within their ranks that are capable of animating the dead in masses and manipulating the elements of darkness and ice proficiently. Brilhado necromancers also have the curious ability to link their magic which can end in a group of necromancers casting a single spell much more powerful than any could produce on their own.

Other Abilities:

Weaponry: The soldiers of the Brilhado army are both experienced and powerful. Most can use a ranged weapon along with a melee weapon and are remarkably skilled with both. Even their vaunted necromancers are capable of defending themselves adequately in CQC.

Equipment: The Brilhado use swords, spears, shields, maces, mauls, and lately guns to fight their enemies.

Origin: The Brilhado were once great spirits that served the Elemental Lord of Light, but an agent of the Devourer who misinterpreted his Lord's instructions engineered a plan of deceit so great that it forever changed the world. The elements warred, worlds clashed, and the Brilhado fell from grace. Most ended up joining the Devourer for one reason or another and are now one of his most widely recognized servants.


Name: Tytoa

Appearance: The Tytoa mostly look human except for the sickly green tint to their skin and the fact that every part of their eyes are black.

Physical Attributes

Strength: Superhuman

Agility: Supernatural

Constitution: Exceptional

Other Abilities:

Poisoners: The Tytoa produce biologic poisons that are primarily used to paralyze their targets. They can both secrete this poison from their skin and breath it out as a gas. However even ignoring their own ability to produce poison they are also skilled at creating poisons from other sources. They are also immune to many poisons.

Steadfast: The Tytoa are the chosen guard of the manifested Devourer for a reason. They have discipline unknown even to the Brilhado and are one of the few races that can stand in Omega's presence without scattering like leaves. This also makes them incredibly loyal due to being so close to their master and any soldier would take their life eagerly before revealing his plans.

Origin: The Tytoa were one of the first races to join the Devourer. Many of them simply wished to follow what seemed to be an all powerful destroyer, but a few understood the Uncreator's purpose and followed him due to that. They are usually paired with groups of Shishin Hamar due to the synergy between the two races.

"What I must be has become clear and I do not desire it. The Elemental Lords will do nothing in complacency removed from that which they wrought. They are transcendent, I must be imminent. I must become the enemy of Creation to preserve it. The mirror shall show the image true."

The Agents of the Devourer

Spoiler for Hiden:

"I have a sacred duty, which I have followed for centuries, and I will stop at nothing to succeed. I do not know you, and I do not know your allegiance-- but I promise you this: If you do not do as I say-- if you challenge me-- I will have no choice but to flay the flesh from your bones.”

Name: The Huntress(Celestra)

Race: Elf

Age: 1000+

Height: 5’11

Weight: about 135 lbs.

Appearance: The Huntress is a tall woman with waist-length dark red hair and green eyes. Although she is about a thousand years old, she looks as if she was on her mid-twenties. Her outfit consists of a pair of dark grey trousers, a midriff-baring tank top, gloves and a dark red cloth hanging from her waist. She is always seen bare-footed.

Physical Attributes

Strength: Exceptional

Agility: Legendary

Constitution: Exceptional

Other Abilities:

Immortality: The energies of the Devourer had a strange effect upon the Huntress as she traveled with it. Her aging ceased completely and with this boon she has followed the deity for a longer time than many have lived.

Legend of the Transient: The Huntress had become the host to a being that is even more illusive than her even throughout all her travels. It has greatly enhanced her speed to levels far beyond human levels but it cannot do anything for her other attributes. It also has a connection with the element of wind that the Huntress makes use of.

Elemental Manipulation - High: Due to her status as a host The Huntress is capable of firing shredding blades of air and create powerful barriers with the element. She lacks variety but makes up for it with sheer strength in manipulating her element.

Communicant: Due to her unquestionable loyalty and work within the Network the Huntress is capable of hearing and speaking directly to the Devourer himself. She is also capable of making his voice heard to others that are near her.

Equipment:



The Nameless Sword: A blade forged from the bones of a long forgotten god. Throughout the years it has been influenced by the Devourer's power and has gained a powerful affinity against beings that have a powerful connection to Creation. elementals, certain deities, and spirits with a connection to the World have an adverse reaction to the blade as it annihilates parts of their body with brutal force.

The Gauntlet of The Devourer: A black gauntlet with what seems to be a red crystal that covers the fingers. The Huntress wears it on her right hand and is usually used to make escapes and hunt down enemies. This is because of that gauntlet's ability to sunder reality and basically create portals. She can go to any places she has seen before but it requires her to stay completely still and charge the gauntlet for a few moments before she makes a cut.

Origin: The Huntress follows the Devourer due to being one of the few members of the Network that actually understands the god's purpose and motives. She has walked by his side for ages and has become attuned with his wishes. Ultimately ending in her earning the title of Communicant before The Network began its sacred duty within the Nexus.


"The Devourer's work is never done."

Name: Mark Ryuusei

Race: Human

Age: 36

Height: 6'1

Weight: about 165 lbs.

Appearance: Dark-haired with hazel eyes, Ryuusei appeared tall and slender with bony, narrow fingers, and yet, a well-muscled torso and legs. One of his most distinctive features was that of his facial hair—a Fu Manchu mustache, a goatee-like chin puff and a designer stubble.

A snappy dresser, he wears a distinctive two-pieced red suit, consisting of single-breasted jacket with a notched lapel with golden embroidery in the left sleeve, and trousers with a similar golden pattern in the right leg. Under the jacket, he wore a white shirt with a red gem adorning his neck, and an extravagant golden ring with an orange stone on his right hand. Unlike many others characters, he carried no weapons; instead, he was always seen holding a golden dragon head-topped cane.

Physical Attributes

Strength: Supernatural

Agility: Supernatural

Constitution: Supernatural

Magical Ability - Extremely High: Ryuusei is quite possibly one of the most powerful magic users to ever follow the Devourer. He is extremely adept with the elements of cold and darkness. Freezing blizzards and tendrils of darkness often accompany each other when he takes his place on the battlefield. He is also capable of using darkness in order to turn his body into a natural weapon. His arms coated in shadows that cut through bone and consume flesh.

More than once proved himself to be a necromancer far ahead of the abilities of the Brilhado. He has gone far beyond simply animating the body and usually binds the souls of powerful warriors back into their dead husks so they can retain all their skill and capabilities. There are also many undead that he has altered in order to make them superior to their former selves.

He has also proved himself remarkably knowledgeable on the topic of dimensions and dimensional magic. Because of this he is capable of sensing disturbances in reality without any supplemental equipment. This also allows him to make use of the Nexus' unstable nature to create gateways. It might not let him leave the Nexus but with enough mana he can weaken what is already there and create an opening in the world.

Finally, he has also delved into the realm of Uncreation that his master holds dominion over. He can't use it in combat but he is extremely knowledgeable on the subject and can recognize its effects even when he shouldn't remember them.

Other Abilities:

Communicant: Due to his loyalty, overall usefulness, and work within the Network Ryuusei is capable of hearing and speaking directly to the Devourer himself. He is also capable of making his voice heard to others that are near her.

Equipment:

Cane: A black cane topped off with the golden head of a dragon.This cane serves the purpose of enhancing his already powerful magical capabilities.

Origin: Ryuusei's origins have remained unknown to most of the members of the Network. All that is certain is that he came from a world that was uncreated and had apparently murdered his father before that. He followed the Devourer across worlds before joining the Network.


"Your kind may have ideas about what my legacy entails, but you have no clue whatsoever the true purpose behind my actions."

Name: Xilar

Race: Primal Dragon

Age: 10,000+

Height: 6 meters

Weight: Really heavy

Appearance:



Physical Attributes

Strength: Legendary

Agility: Supernatural

Constitution: Superhuman

Magical Ability - None: Xilar is incapable of performing magic but is very knowledgeable in multiple fields of arcane study. In the field of Uncreation he is considered one of the few to completely understand the process.

Magic Resistance - High: Dragons naturally have a resistance against magical attacks and Xilar is no different.
Other Abilities:

Communicant: Due to his absolute loyalty, overall usefulness, and work within the Network Xilar is capable of hearing and speaking directly to the Devourer himself. He is also capable of making his voice heard to others that are near her.

Strategist: Xilar has led the forces of the Devourer against countless worlds. With his leadership races were rendered extinct and civilizations were utterly annihilated. Over the years his battlefield tactics and strategy have evolved and has made him a terrifyingly capable opponent.

Master of Deceit: It's already difficult to tell exactly what a dragon is thinking or feeling due to how different they seem but Xilar takes this to an entirely different level. He is capable of faking emotions to the point where it is nearly impossible to tell whether or not he is being genuine or not. With this skill he was the one to put the elements of the world in conflict with one another and orchestrated the Brilhado's fall from grace.

Origin: Xilar was the first Communicant of the Devourer. While the other temples to the Elemental Lords refused him he was eventually taken in by the Devourer, and while his misinterpretation of his god's intentions caused many issues he has become the most trusted servant of the Devourer.

"I am Creation's greatest enemy. It is I who speak it. Creation’s greatest enemy is I for Creation's greatest enemy is itself. I come to test and to destroy and hope only to fail utterly as I failed in life. For in failing I shall succeed. Those who know this and understand may come to understand me. Be ready, I am coming for you and I shall not be merciful. "

Origin: The only thing that these races and individuals share is allegiance to the Devourer. He is the Uncreator and upholds the delicate balance of the universe. He travels to chaotic worlds and sends the Network to test them and challenge them. If they cannot unify under this threat then his judgement will be rendered and he will remove the entirety of that world from the annals of time and space. The world and the entities that live on it will have never existed at all.

PARIAH

PARIAH made a small frown and cocked his head as he thought about how to reply. Then with a small nod to himself his tendrils all formed blades and proceeded to hack him apart. The child didn't make a sound as powerful cuts neatly sliced off his fingers and slowly carved his limbs into chunks while a few more tendrils hacked at his neck, the biomass being too thick to remove with a single hit.

Blood flowed like water from a river as PARIAH's head was finally removed from his shoulders and the tendrils turned on each other. For a few moments all that remained were the mutilated chunks of a child. Then the dozens of parts simply came together and PARIAH looked as fine as ever.

Believing that he had proved his point he responded, "But I can always move! I want to play a different game."

PARIAH

The two halves of the child rolled onto the ground in front of Mia and splattered it with blood before shifting into countless tendrils and reforming into PARIAH.

"My turn now! I'm it!" He looked exceptionally pleased with himself despite having just been split in two and didn't look tired in the slightest. He crouched down as a dozen tendrils sprouted from him and took careful aim.

"You get to run first?"

PARIAH

For a few seconds PARIAH stared at the bleeding stump at the end of his wrist for a moment before stepping on his severed hand and assimilating it back into his body. Biomass shifted again and his stump was quickly replaced with a brand new hand.

"We can play now!"

He gave his 'sister' an enthusiastic nod before turning around and taking the simplest route possible. The virus charged straight ahead with a speed that would have even surprised supernatural beings. Of course, he did run into a small issue of a building blocking his path. PARIAH barely slowed down as he slammed right through the wall of the building and burst into the main floor of the apartment.

Surprised screams and shouts echoed through the building as he continued and broke through the other side with the same vigor as before.

PARIAH

PARIAH took a few steps forwards as tendrils emerged from his back and wrapped around the cooling corpse. As it was brought closer to his body it was completely torn to shreds and merged flawlessly with the rest of him. After he was done with his 'meal' he came even closer and gently grabbed one of the girl's hands with his own.

"I'm PARIAH, and you're Sister!" There was definitely an excited tone in his voice and he looked like he was almost to the point where he would be jumping up and down, but that was to be expected. After all, PARIAH had just found a new family member.

PARIAH

The virus was perfectly content with leading his 'uncle' around the quieter parts of the Nexus. It was a strange feeling. They didn't talk much at all as they walked but something in this normality was almost soothing to the abomination. Then he heard the familiar sound of a head being smashed against something hard.

He came to a sudden stop and turned to see a girl surrounded by light. His eyes widened as her scratches and swollen hand healed and only the thought of leaving Wanderer gave him pause. His gaze rapidly shifted back and forth between the fully healed girl and the cowboy before giving the man a stern look.

"Stay!" Then just to add to his command the Leader Hunter moved in front of the cowboy and promptly sat on Wanderer's feet.

With that problem solved PARIAH turned back to face the potential family member and ran towards her. The ground shattered as if it was nothing more than glass due to his sheer weight and speed. It barely took him a few seconds before he was standing a few feet away from. He nodded appreciatively at the corpse before awkwardly raising a hand and waving it at the red-eyed girl. "Hi."
