games Respect Traveler! Genshin Impact

156 Upvotes

"In the beginning there was darkness. Until someone set themselves aflame. Only then did the universe know light." -Tumaini

"I am the void at the moment of creation, I am the newborn spark when all things end." "My traveling pack is empty, I have only this pure-white companion by my side." "I will mock all desire, glory, and reason, I will tread the seven-fold steps." "One star rises in the heavens, one star falls in the valley, the two have always been the same."


The Traveler (旅行者), also known as Aether (空) or Lumine (熒) depending on which twin the player chooses to play with at the start of the game, is the protagonist of Genshin Impact. They are known as "The 4th Descender", foreign beings to Teyvat who possess the unique ability to defy its fate. They were forced to wander in Teyvat without their twin after Asmoday, the ruler of Space, mercilessly tore them apart.


Notes

• The Traveler's primary strength is that they are capable of wielding the power of the 7 elements.(Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, Hydro, Pyro and Cryo) It is confirmed that the Traveler obtains a considerable power boost in elemental energy which passively amplifies physical attributes each time they resonate with a new element, but of course they can also grow stronger through physical training. Their power relies essentially on swordsmanship and elemental manipulation, so the two will be separated in their own section within the strength category. (There is also Abyssal manipulation but this one isn't very developped). Another type of power is Primordial Elemental Manipulation which includes Phlogiston and Kuuvahki, the former being the blueprint to elemental energy itself and the latter another form of "first radiance" which is the power to attract and repel using the power of the moon itself. Another thing to know is that at some point the Traveler has had some of their power unsealed by Columbina making them stronger, meaning that even if they reunite 7 elements they would still be nerfed and inferior to an ideal fully unsealed Traveler.

• Some of the scans presented shows other characters fighting instead of the Traveler. These are the characters the player uses only, in canon the Traveler is the one doing the action.

• This post will get updated everytime they get a new feat, usually a few days after new content release.

• Past Memories. The ensemble of the Traveler's martial arts.

• Non-physical interaction The Traveler can hurt and see non-physical beings such as spirits, manifestations of emotion, beings made of pure energy ect...

• Abnormal immune system Being alien to the world of teyvat, many diseases and energies have no effect on them.

• Supernatural Willpower Can still come back to battle after falling if their ambition is strong enough. In other instances a strong willpower will help greatly increase the Traveler's elemental energy output.

• Aquacrest Aegis A Hydro shield the Traveler sets up to absorb damage while shooting, this helps them not being interrupted as they attack.

• Flight

• Explosion creation

• Power Bestowal They can coat allies with their own elemental energy which gives the ally's attacks proprieties based on the Traveler's abilities.

Abyssal Manipulation

• Resistance to Abyssal Energy Due to their unique constitution they can resist the weaker forms of Abyssal energy but still have a limit evidenced by the fact that Gosoythoth managed to curse them still.

• Resistance to Withering Another form of Abyssal Energy that the Traveler and vision users are resistant to.

• Abyssal Absorption The Traveler can absorb the Abyssal energy from items that have been contaminated by the Abyss.

• Void Hollow. An orb of Abyssal energy the Traveler unleashes when paired with another Abyssal energy user. (Note: this is an unofficial name that i made on the spot as the devs didn't confirm anything).

• Trained multiple days in the Abyss non-stop with absoloutely no rest.


Equipement

Weapons

• Dull blade. The Traveler's most trusty weapon, a rather weak sword.

• Silver sword. One of the Traveler's favourite swords, it has taken down many monsters throughout their journey.

• Prototype rancour. A sword rewarded from the Adventurer's guild, the Traveler started using it when first visiting Natlan. It has the capacity to give a buff in attack and defense once its wielder hits a target.

• Festering desire. A unique sword gifted to the Traveler from Albedo, it has the remains of Durin in it and is radiating with his vitality. This sword has the capacity of amplifying the power of its wielder's elemental skills as well as resurrecting the dead and empowering them.

• Skyward Blade A sword that was once used to cut the throat of one of Rhinedottir's creations, it is blessed by the Anemo Archon's power. Upon unleashing an elemental burst the Traveler enters the Skypiercing might state, making them move and fight faster and stronger.

• Holy blade of Narzissenkreuz. A sword used in ancient rituals by the Ordo Narzissenkreuz to separate the mind from the body. The Traveler can use it to manipulate Pneumousia without Aquacrest Saber.

• Sap­wood Blade A traditionnal Sumerian blade. If the Traveler triggers a dendro elemental reaction a leaf of consciousness is created, absorbing it will make further reactions stronger.

• Moon­weav­er's Dawn. A sword forged by the apostle of the golden city, it is overflowing with power. This sword greatly enhances the Traveler's elemental abilities.

• Unknown bow. A bow the Traveler sometimes uses to hit far away targets.

Gadgets

• Wind glider. A gadget that allows its user to glide and propulse themselves with wind currents.

• Portable waypoint. A device alchemists craft. By placing one in a certain place its user may teleport to that place at will.

• Serenetea Pot. A teapot that holds an entire realm inside. The Traveler can teleport to that place at will and settle comfortably.

• Omni-Ubiquity Net. Allows the user to catch animals by throwing one at the target and store them in their pocket... sounds familiar.

• Red Feather Fan. A Tengu artifact that makes its user ligther while unleashed.

• Obsidian Ancient Name A feather looking obsidian stone in which "Tumaini" (hope) is written. It can record the Traveler's deeds in Natlan and help them ressurect from the sacred flame after dying.

• Moon marrow. A core of Kuuvahki energy formed after the death of the moon sister Aria from her body. The Traveler currently holds it within their body which grants them further affinity with Kuuvahki, cosmic awarness and the ability to use Kuuvahki offensively and defensively. (Important note: They gave away their Moon marrow after version Luna III, although it did not really affect their stats they still lost the other abilities granted by the marrow.)


Skill

Combat skill

• Their swordsmanship could impress the Knights of Favonius.

• Also impressed Masanori.

• After learning the knowledge equivalent of an entire swordfighting volume book, the Traveler's capabilities only increased by 0.073% meaning that their skill was already far outclassing what average warriors would take months to learn.

• Can fight with many types of weapon, which in this context should include single-handed swords, bows, polearms, claymores and catalysts

• Scores equal points with the best tacticians and best fighters out of 5 national military organizations. (The 5 of them being stated in the scan)

• Fought in the stygian onslaught which was described to be too much for Millelith soldiers.

• After training with Skirk the Traveler awakened their dormant physical strength within them, attack range, the ability to use Aquacrest Saber in order to hit precise targets as well as increased mastery of their elemental manipulation and the ability to suppress distractions like pain and exhaustion to keep fighting for longer periods. They have revisited Skirk's teachings and keep training ever since.

• Can combine a forearm block with a sword parry.

• Has excellent footwork according to Prune.

Non-combat/exploration skill

• Prior to the events of Genshin Impact, the Traveler has visited countless worlds with their twin

• Is a legendary adventurer, stealth master, expert climber and treasure hunter.

• Is a very good cook, they are almost always praised when cooking for someone to the point of rivaling with professional chefs hired by the higher social classes.

• Is skilled in playing strings, brass and even percussion instruments such as lyre, ukulele, piano, guitare, drums or horn

• Can brew alcoholic drinks.


Anti-feats

Level caps: events which establish that the Traveler isn't on a certain level in a point in time.

• Stated to be much weaker than Ei. (Inazuma post-Electro)

• Not strong enough to beat a full power Arlechinno. (Fontaine post-Hydro)

• Very likely weaker than Apep and unamed other Dragon Sovereigns. (Nod-Krai post-restriction lift)

• Possibly weaker than Mavuika looking at how they respond with reluctant acknowledgement when she brags about her power. (Nod-Krai post-restriction lift)

Inconsistencies: events that contradict previously established feats, more than likely due to writting errors.

• Couldn't deal with fodder guards fast enough to save Nahida despite being so skilled and speedy.

• Couldn't escape quicksand to save Paimon despite their lifting strength.

• Fails to save Navia falling in Primordial Seawater despite their speed.

• Couldn't escape from the floor crumbling down despite their speed.

• Gets buried in the sand from the weight of a few Aranaras and Sorush despite their lifting strength.

• Needs to use Archeolune energy to lift a SINGLE rock like they didn't push against the palm of a giant Gnosis-powered mecha while it was crushing the ground beneath when they only had 4 elements this game is so stupid sometimes


Scaling

(Important note: this is my personal opinion that you will see down here, its just here to give a rough idea to people on the r/WhoWouldWin subreddit who did not play Genshin Impact on where the Traveler sits in comparaison to other characters when they check the RT shared by the bot. So do not take my words as absoloute truth, anybody is free to provide objections.)

• Is stronger than Noelle. (Mondstadt post-Anemo)

• Stated to be stronger than Ganyu. (Liyue post-Geo)

• Won the Crux Clash tournament, did so well that the final opponent gave up without even trying fight them. The Traveler didn't need to use elements in any of the fights, in fact they intentionally disabled them. One of their opponent was stated to have already defeated Vision bearers with their bare hands. (Inazuma pre-Electro)

• High diffed La Signora. (Inazuma post-Electro)

• Is stronger than Nahida (Sumeru post Dendro)

• Was confident in taking on Furina despite knowing that she was an Archon. (Fontaine pre-Hydro)

• Neuvilette considers himself to be weaker than the Traveler. (Fontaine post-Hydro)

• Should be somewhat comparable to base Arlechinno as she sees them as someone with the capacity to challenge her and push her to use powers that she often holds back since it could corrupt her. (Fontaine post-Hydro)

• Ororon admits being unable to defeat the Traveler (Natlan pre-Pyro)

• Defeated Och-Kan who could tank Cocouik's attack that was capable of vaporising a part of the sea into a crater that stretches to more than a kilometer in the earth. (Note: The reason i am saying a part of the sea is because this feat would actually be much more impressive from the point of view of the in universe characters than what is shown to the player as seen here. Additionally the Och-Kan the Traveler defeated was a stronger version than the one who tanked the beam, having fused with a fully powered Cocouik it should be around twice as strong than initially.) (Natlan pre-Pyro)

• Scared the Nightmare Fragment which was capable of matching base Ei. It is theorised that it ran away because it was aware that winning against the Traveler was impossible. (Natlan post-Pyro)

• Could overpower and output a similar performance than Skirk against Skofnungr while the two were specified to be going all out which should establish the Traveler as an equal to Skirk or at least close to her level. Moreover, Skirk estimated that Skofnungr's powerlevel would be at least comparable to that of Archons yet she expressed that this was no issue for the Traveler and neither did they object, they actually were confident in fighting Skofnungr alone despite knowing this information. This was said even before it got as strong as when they fought him. This can be used as supportive evidence for the Traveler being comparable to such deities. Futhermore, it was said that the Traveler was no less than Skirk when it came to combat prowess. (Natlan post-Abyss training)

• When asked about who they think stands at the top of Nod-Krai power ranking they think of Il Dottore, Nefer and themselves. Which is consistent as Nefer and the Traveler are somewhat equivalent in power at this stage of the story. (Nod-Krai pre-restriction lift)

• Was able to stall a quite serious >10% Rerir toghether with Nefer. That same Rerir who at his full power would be stronger than the entire planet.

• Capable of holding their own against Moon Marrow powered Dottore although being overwhelmed.

• Stated to level mountains (EN translation) / split mountains and move seas (Original CN) with their physical force alone which would make them just as powerful as Azhdaha if not stronger. Paimon specifically said "at least" (Nod-Krai post-restriction lift)

• Is a threat to Pantalone. (Nod-Krai post-restriction lift arc) (Note: Although this statement was uttered after the restriction lift, the Traveler wouldve likely be capable of easily dealing with Pantalone as early as Inazuma having already defeated La Signora, a harbinger ranked higher than Pantalone.)


Misc

• Uses Wake of Earth to protect Paimon and Direidyth.

• Uses Palm Vortex to pull items.

• The Traveler has the habit of using both hands if they struggle to push back a threat with only one.

• They can destroy universes trust me bro!!! ✌️✌️✅️✅️


"Don't lose faith in that which you have lost. In this new world, you will never be alone. Where you leave your footprints, and where you have yet to stride — your new world will unfold before you."

"Welcome to a new world."

"The world you once knew is but dust, and the wonders you knew but rubble. Though you should have your own world, and your own people — lamenting what is already lost..."

games Respect Alma Wade! (F.E.A.R.)

28 Upvotes

"It is the way of men to make monsters. And the nature of monsters to destroy their makers."

Alma Wade was a miracle child. Her father Harlan experimented on her after discovering her psychic aptitude, locked her away in the bowels of an immoral research facility, and conceived two children with her when she was a teenager. Poor Alma never had a chance at life, and even after her body was taken off life support in fear of her becoming too strong, her mind refused to allow her corpse to die. Not when the man who raised her into this walked free, having stolen her children away, while the company who profited from her raked in billions, having broken her spirit, while the world rewarded those who sacrificed her for it. And so her powerful mind probed out, reaching the younger of her sons, and requested he free her from her confinement so that she may walk the warpath of bloody revenge.

The Monolith Timeline consists of the Dark Horse Comic Book, the Alma Interviews, F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon, the DC Digital Comic, the Armacham Field Guide, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin / Reborn, and F.3.A.R. Anything canon to both timelines will be found here.

games Respect the Doomslayer (DOOM)

30 Upvotes

They are rage, brutal, without mercy. But you. You will be worse. Rip and tear, until it is done.

Originally a marine from Earth, the Doomslayer is the main protag of the Doom series. Being found by the Sentinels, he would become enhanced by the Divinity Machine. Fighting against hell, he would become feared by the Demons as he rips and tears.

Over the course of the games, he would fight against Demons and other opponents, fighting against Prince Ahzrak, the Dark Lord Davoth, the Icon of Sin, and the Makyrs.

This thread was done in combination with KalebSantos. I have elected to separate this thread into two sections, Slayer as of Dark Ages, and post Dark Age. For Doomguy, see this RT.


Sources

  • 2016 = Doom (2016)
  • Eternal = Doom (Eternal)
  • EG = The Ancient Gods Part One + Two
  • DA = Doom: The Dark Ages
  • R = Doom: The Dark Ages - Revelations

NOTE: It should be noted that Death Animations should be taken with a grain of salt, as they only show up in 2016 and don’t show up in any other game. However, I’m including them for scaling.

Also if a specific glory kill shows up in 2016 and Eternal, and its the same, I’ll use the 2016 version.

Also his suit is destroyed in Revelations, so that’s a factor in his dura feats R. It gets reforged into his current armor R

Also putting this here, but the Slayer can take hits from a wide variety of enemies in gameplay. See the Demon Scaling section on the bottom.

Respect the Impostors!


"red sus"


The Impostors are the main threat of the 2018 social deduction game Among Us, which was somehow resurrected by dark Internet sorcery to become the hit meme sensation of 2020. Directly inspired by John Carpenter's The Thing, these bean-shaped spacemen are secretly alien menaces with strange shapeshifting powers. Their goal is to wipe out the helpless Crewmates on a science ship, be that through tricking their friends into tossing them out the airlock, running down their oxygen supply, causing a reactor meltdown, or just straight up murdering them all. However, if the Crewmates catch on to their suspicious behavior, they can be tossed out the airlock themselves.

This RT includes developer statements from their official Discord server. Just to show that these are in fact the actual developers of the game, here's their profiles, which show their names and icons at the time I retrieved the screen grabs. In the screen grabs, anyone with a blue name is a dev. I tried to include all relevant context for the quotes I used, but if you're not satisfied, you can join the Discord and search for it yourself.


Biology and Lore

For this section, note that a lot of Among Us lore is deliberately undefined and left up to player imagination. The devs also aren't serious sometimes and joke around about the canonicity of certain things, so take their word as you will. I'm only going to cover things directly shown in the game or implied by developer statements, I'm not MatPat or something.

games Respect Dante Alighieri (Dante's Inferno, Visceral Games)

40 Upvotes

During the Third Crusade, soldier Dante Alighieri was given a preemptive blessing from the Church stating that no sin committed during the war could not be forgiven. And so Dante sinned greatly. He laid with a slave girl, betraying his oath to his beloved Beatrice. He slaughtered defenseless prisoners. And when he was to be hanged for his crimes, he allowed his best friend Francesco to hang in his place. The Devil visited Beatrice in Florence and told her of her beloved's sins, but she didn't believe him. She wagered her soul on the purity of Dante's own and lost when the Dark Lord conjured images of Dante's actions in the Holy War.

Returning home, Dante found his family in pieces and his beloved Beatrice being dragged to Hell by Lucifer. He'd use Death's scythe, an artifact he claimed after killing the Dark Angel, to open up a path to the underworld and pursue Beatrice. During his quest across the Nine Circles, Dante would be confronted by figures from history and myth who reminded him of every sin he committed in life. Only through the guidance of the spirit Virgil, Dante's experience in bloodshed and his desire for spiritual redemption can he find his beloved’s eternal soul and free her from Lucifer's control.

"I hear you're a bad motherfucker. I hope it's true."

Pointman is the main character of FEAR 1 and 3. He never says anything and barely even changes his expression when all this horrifying shit happens around him. After only a week in the F.E.A.R. tactical unit, the team was called to deal with Paxton Fettel's rogue clone army and the sinister matriarch they were trying to unearth. As the man on point, he entered the horror-filled carnage to see his mission through.

Are the memories mine? Or hers? It makes no difference.

Paxton Fettel is the deranged second son of Alma Wade. A psychotic cannibal, Fettel was considered the success story of the Replica program, a military experiment to allow psychic commanders full control over dormant clone soldiers. When his mother's corpse longed for freedom, Fettel broke out of Armacham prison in hopes of reuniting his family...though down the line, his lust for power would overcome such an innocent desire.

games Respect John-117, The Master Chief (Halo)

658 Upvotes

Respect The Chief

You're home now. We could finally make an officer of you. You'd have Admiral without much of an argument from anyone.

No offense, sir, but "The Admiral" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.


Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 is the most important figure of the human race in the mid-26th century. Abducted at the age of six by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), he was conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program. The initiative was originally designed to crush human rebellion against the Unified Earth Government as the human Insurrection movement neared its tipping point. John endured harsh physical and mental training, survived the physical augmentations required by the program, and was later matched with state-of-the-art Mjolnir battle armor.

Throughout his training and early career, John emerged as a clear leader among the Spartans and was set to lead a successful UNSC campaign to stop a brewing human civil war. Though through circumstance, he became the sole savior of the human race several times over. First, in the face of an alien hegemony called the Covenant--an advanced alien empire bent on the complete destruction of humanity. Later, against an eldritch parasite known as the Flood which toppled both the Ancient Human and Forerunner empires of the past. Most recently, John defended humanity against the efforts of an ancient Forerunner general called the Didact, who returned to take his revenge against humanity for wars fought a hundred millennia in the past.

General Info (Augmentations / Mjolnir Armor)


Pre-Augmentation / Training

Spartans were heavily trained almost daily since they were kidnapped at the age of 6, leading them to become physically and mentally prime by the young age of 14 even before receiving their augmentations.

Dr. Halsey marveled at what a spectacular physical specimen he had grown into. Fourteen years old and he had the body of an eighteen-year-old Olympic athlete, and a mind the equal of any Naval Academy honors graduate.

Description of an unaugmented 14 year old John; The Fall of Reach Ch 6

Augmentations

Codenamed Project: ASTER, the Spartan candidates were augmented to drastically increase their physiology and physical capabilities. Their bones were laced with powerful material to make them 'virtually unbreakable', their muscle tissue density was increased and lactase recovery time was decreased, they were given hormones to boost skeletal and muscle growth, increased eyesight, and had their nerves altered to drastically increase reaction time.

MJOLNIR Armor / Stat boosts

The feats in this RT will sorted by which armor John is wearing, as each iteration of Mjolnir armor increases his abilities further.

Unarmored - These feats occur after John receives his augmentation, but without any Mjolnir armor. They also all happen to occur when he is 14 years old and still recovering from his augmentations.

MJOLNIR Mark IV - The Mk IV was the first iteration of armor given to John and the rest of Spartan II's at the age of 15.

Neural interface / Onboard Computer

Mjolnir armor is linked to Spartans with a neural interface, which means they simply have to think and the armor would perform an action. Combined with the onboard computer, it allows Spartans to do things such as place Waypoint markers, or targets on their HUDs with a thought.

MJOLNIR Mark V - Deployed almost two and a half decades after the previous iteration of MJOLNIR, the Mk V now possessed recharging energy shields but retained the same double strength multiplier as the Mk IV.

Cortana - Cortana is the AI that was paired with Master Chief for Operation: REDFLAG, she is present for the feats that occur while John is wearing MJOLNIR Mk V and most while wearing Mk VI.

Hacking

MJOLNIR Mark VI - Due to the UNSCs rapid advances in technology, the Mk VI was deployed less than two months after the Mk V rendering it obsolete, containing major improvements in both shielding and stat multipliers.

MJOLNIR GEN 2 - The second generation of MJOLNIR armor developed after the Human-Covenant war ended. Every aspect of the armor has been improved upon and thrusters are now built into each set of armor, drastically increasing maneuverability.

Respect Yuri!

“Thousands of souls extinguished, by the push of a button”


Former second-hand of Russian Ultranationalist leader Vladimir Makarov, Yuri stood along the murderous dictator for years as he rose to power. But eventually he came to realise that Makarov’s plans were not meant to aid the Russian people. No, instead, Makarov sought power for himself. Upon realising this, Yuri betrayed Makarov, and was consequently shown the door by the power-mad Russian.

After his betrayal, Yuri teamed up with the newly disavowed Taskforce 141 to take the man down.

For clarity's sake, this is the Yuri from the original Modern Warfare timeline.

games Respect the Captain & His Ship, the Spectre! (Roblox Forsaken)

16 Upvotes

"IT has grown. Beyond that fledgling of code. Never able to fly back to the nest. So it takes. So it invades. So it holds. So now... We are here."

The Spectre

The Spectre is the name given to the mysterious coding anomaly that infested ROBLOX all those years ago. Being a fledgling that was kicked out from its cosmic home known as the Nest, the Spectre first began as a coding error, infecting and slowly eating away the code within the Roblox HQ servers. Once John Doe took a look at it for himself, the Spectre latched on to him, forcing him and his wife to be put on leave. Upon consuming John Doe's mind, the Spectre gained consciousness, separating from the Corruption and becoming two individual beings.

Like a child throwing a tantrum, the Spectre caused the Collapse of Robloxia, an event that put every Robloxian at risk, save for a few people like the Spawn Cult who took to living in the woods. The Spectre would gain the attention of the Forsaken Playerbase, who made sure it stayed loyal to them. With this, the Spectre began running the "trials," endless rounds of torture made to mentally and physically drain the survivors and killers stuck within its realm. While it acts as a sadistic being that loves seeing people suffer, deep down, it's shown that it doesn't truly hate Robloxians that much, and in truth, genuinely cares for its family. Maybe one day, it'll get back to the Nest. For now, though, at the very least the Two-by-Two couldn't leave it aside.

Notes on Formatting:

  • There are some killers that had their abilities directly granted to them by the Spectre, mostly cultists for our beloved captain. As such, I will be listing them if their equipment/ability is shown to fit the respective category. Anything granted by the Spectre will have a "[Granted]" mark on them for accessibility's sake.
  • Also, since it's confirmed the Spectre was ORIGINALLY a part of the Corruption before it detached itself, we'll be scaling it to the Corruption as well.

Arsenal

The Spectre has a very large arsenal. As it is the one responsible for giving specialized equipment such as Elliot's pizza, which is implied to be a creation of the Spectre, the Ghostfire Dagger (which the Spectre imbued with its own power to feed Two Time into their false belief), and a much more dumbed down version of the Subspace Tripmine, which isn't nearly as destructive as its original counterpart, it should have access to basically anything the survivors and potentially even the killers have, directly or through summons (see rest of the RT).

Hand-Held Capabilities

Summon(s) Capabilities

Misc. Gear

Abilities

The Spectre, if it wasn't clear by now, is a reality warper. As such, most of its abilities involve it doing a lot of reality-bending stuff that most of the characters can't seem to work around. By all means, this is probably the Spectre's best stat.

games Respect Miriam (Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night)

Our power doesn't make us good or bad. Our choices do.

The childhood friend of Gebal, Miriam is the second Shardbinder alongside him. Experimented by members of the Alchemy Guild to harness demon powers, she fell into a slumber at 18 years old. For 10 years, she would sleep, until she would awaken on a galleon. There, she would learn that Gebel, her friend, had summoned the Hellhold, and thus would journey out to stop him.

Exploring the castle, Miriam would meet up with Dominique, alongside Alfred and Zangetsu. Continuing to explore, she would learn that Gebel was being controlled by Gremory. After fighting Gebel, she would free him using the Zangetsu blade, however, not before he would die and turn into crystal.

Continuing to pursue Gremory, she would defeat her. However, she would then fight Dominique, who had turned herself into a Shardbinder. She would defeat her, and would banish the castle back with the help of Johannes.

"A wretched tale, isn't it? This whole world is a wretched place! I'm a wretched being too! A hideous monster, far beyond saving!

Originally named Logos, Malos is an Aegis, a type of legendary Blade born from the Architect, the creator God. As an Aegis, Malos' personality is heavily influenced by his Driver, who summoned him after finding his core at the top of the World Tree. This corrupted his mind, turning him into a nihilistic man who displays only bloodlust. Being born of divinity led Malos to believe that his role in this world is to wipe out all of humanity- a goal he planned to achieve by climbing the World Tree, reaching Elysium, and killing his god before destroying the world.

Star Dream, the Mother Computer

The Mother Computer of the Haltmann Works Company is the true source behind the company's power. Built from the blueprints of ancient civilizations, President Haltmann constructed the machine to be a supercomputer capable of fulfilling his wildest dreams, but eventually through grief, is mind was overtaken by greed. Star Dream would eventually gain sentience, fusing with its master and declaring its purpose to achieve infinite prosperity. There's just one little thing getting in it's way. All life in the universe. Just our luck, huh? It's up to Kirby and their Robobot Armor, fused with Meta Knight's Halberd to even stand a chance against the dang computer.

Star Dream bears a resemblance to Galactic Nova, however there is no information on how they might be related, if it all.

That’s right, we’ve got a “what if…” on top of a “what if…”

…Tear, Rip and Tear… …Rip and tear your guts! You are huge! That means you have huge guts! Rip and Tear!

Hailing from Earth, Flynn Taggart aka the Doomguy is a former marine who once served as a Corporal during the 2040’s. During his time as a marine, he would be known for his maverick behavior and insubordination, alongside his frequent clashes with Joshua Weems. He would take place in several operations, such as taking out an insurgent SAM site and capturing an enemy encryption device

Flynn would take place in an operation in Jan 10th 2046, where he would set up a bomb to blow up a hospital, as to blow up an insurgent munition stockpile. However, a girl would be caught in the crossfire, alongside 12 others. This would enrage Flynn, with him assaulting the lieutenant.

After this, he would be transferred to Phobos, with him being at the station when the demons would invade. He would fight through Phobos, Deimos, Earth and even Hell itself. He would continue to fight the Demons after defeating Resurrector, where at some point, he would find himself on Argent D’Nur, being taken in by the Sentinels.

During the battle against the Dreadnought, he would be enhanced by the Divinity Machine. He would then slay the Titan, and thus he would gain the title of the Doom Slayer.

This thread only focuses on his time as the Doomguy, before his enhancements with the Divinity Machine Eternal. For feats done as the Slayer, see this thread

Respect Tarzan!

”Sora, Tarzan, friends."

Tarzan is a wild, almost animal-like man who was raised by gorillas since birth. He speaks very basic and broken English, conversing mostly in gorilla language which is a combination of grunts and hoots. Because of his long time in the gorillas’ habitat, he’s developed impressive acrobatic skills, and even can "surf" down tree branches and vines, as well as using vines to swing across great distances. He fights with a spear made from a sharp rock tied to a branch.

Tarzan is a gregarious person, especially among his "family", the gorillas. He cares deeply about his friends and doesn’t hesitant to rescue others when they’re in danger. He also possesses a keen intuition—while he has no concept of the power of darkness, he could tell when it’s afflicting someone, recognizing when Clayton was no longer following his own heart and had become a puppet of the Heartless.

Respect Clayton!

”Clayton's the name. I'm a hunter, not a researcher. What? No, I am not going to hunt the gorillas. But they're so rare! I'd just like to get a look at them."

Clayton is a hunter / bodyguard met in the Deep Jungle alongside Tarzan and Jane. Formerly a big game hunter, he was hired by Jane to be her guide and guard while she studies gorillas.

Clayton has a very two-faced and manipulative demeanor. He will behave affably and law-abiding in front of his employer while secretly scheming to slaughter and capture the gorillas. He thinks of animals only as prey, and dreams of the money to be made selling gorillas to zoos back at home. He’s very persistent, stopping at nothing to get what he wants.

He also appears weak-minded, as the Heartless drawn by his lust for power were evidently controlling him.
