Respect Diomedes! (The Illiad)

Talk not of flight, for I shall not listen to you: I am of a race that knows neither flight nor fear, and my limbs are as yet unwearied.

Diomedes was the King of Argos, and a famed warrior in the Trojan War. Among the Achaean soldiers, he was among the strongest, second only to Achilles in strength and power. He is most notable for his part in the sacking of Thebes, and his armor and shield, which burned continuously with godly fire.


Feats

Abilities

He was blessed by the goddess Athena to have his shield and helmet burn with an intense fire.

Then Pallas Athena put valour into the heart of Diomedes, son of Tydeus, that he might excel all the other Argives, and cover himself with glory. She made a stream of fire flare from his shield and helmet like the star that shines most brilliantly in summer after its bath in the waters of Oceanus- even such a fire did she kindle upon his head and shoulders as she bade him speed into the thickest hurly-burly of the fight.

  • He can also pray to Athena, granting him an increase in his physical power

Thus did he vaunt; but his arrow had not killed Diomedes, who withdrew and made for the chariot and horses of Sthenelus, the son of Capaneus. "Dear son of Capaneus," said he, "come down from your chariot, and draw the arrow out of my shoulder."

Sthenelus sprang from his chariot, and drew the arrow from the wound, whereon the blood came spouting out through the hole that had been made in his shirt. Then Diomedes prayed, saying, "Hear me, daughter of aegis-bearing Zeus, unweariable, if ever you loved my father well and stood by him in the thick of a fight, do the like now by me; grant me to come within a spear's throw of that man and kill him. He has been too quick for me and has wounded me; and now he is boasting that I shall not see the light of the sun much longer."

Thus he prayed, and Pallas Athena heard him; she made his limbs supple and quickened his hands and his feet. Then she went up close to him and said, "Fear not, Diomedes, to do battle with the Trojans, for I have set in your heart the spirit of your knightly father Tydeus. Moreover, I have withdrawn the veil from your eyes, that you know gods and men apart. If, then, any other god comes here and offers you battle, do not fight him; but should Jove's daughter Venus come, strike her with your spear and wound her."

When she had said this Athena went away, and the son of Tydeus again took his place among the foremost fighters, three times more fierce even than he had been before.

  • Athena also guides the path of the spears he throws

With this he hurled his spear, and Athena guided it on to Pandarus's nose near the eye. It went crashing in among his white teeth; the bronze point cut through the root of his to tongue, coming out under his chin, and his glistening armour rang rattling round him as he fell heavily to the ground. The horses started aside for fear, and he was reft of life and strength.

  • Conversely, Athena can disrupt the path of the spears that the enemy throws.

As soon as they were at close quarters he let fly with his bronze spear over the reins and yoke, thinking to take Diomedes's life, but Athena caught the spear in her hand and made it fly harmlessly over the chariot.

Physicals

  • Knocks a man off of a chariot with a thrown spear

Diomedes then threw, and his spear sped not in vain, for it hit Phegeus on the breast near the nipple, and he fell from his chariot.

  • Slaughters a path through the Trojan phalanx with ease

He rushed across the plain like a winter torrent that has burst its barrier in full flood; no dykes, no walls of fruitful vineyards can embank it when it is swollen with rain from heaven, but in a moment it comes tearing onward, and lays many a field waste that many a strong man hand has reclaimed- even so were the dense phalanxes of the Trojans driven in rout by the son of Tydeus, and many though they were, they dared not abide his onslaught.

  • Kills a man with a spear, and kills a man with a sword

He killed Astynous, and shepherd of his people, the one with a thrust of his spear, which struck him above the nipple, the other with a sword- cut on the collar-bone, that severed his shoulder from his neck and back.

  • Easily lifts up a rock it would take two normal men to lift

But the son of Tydeus caught up a mighty stone, so huge and great that as men now are it would take two to lift it; nevertheless he bore it aloft with ease unaided, and with this he struck Aeneas on the groin where the hip turns in the joint that is called the "cup-bone." The stone crushed this joint, and broke both the sinews, while its jagged edges tore away all the flesh.

Real Name: Annie January

Alias: Starlight


At a very young age and unbeknownst to her, Annie January (Starlight) was provided a dosage of Compound V. After the Compound V provided her incredible powers, her mother raised her as if she was “god’s gift” to the world and had her train everyday in hopes of her joining the esteemed superhero team: “The Seven”. She eventually did, only to realize that this team was corrupt, and so was their supervisor, Vought International.

It is important to note that Starlight will lose most of her powers if there is not a source of electricity. When locked in the vault at the Vought tower, she was unable to break down the metal door due to a lack of energy. (Until Hughie tripped the alarm which gave her enough electricity)

Wade Wilson's life has always been a rocky one. After serving in the military, Wade became a mercenary and fell in love with a young woman, with whom he shared dreams of a better life. Everything was going great... until it wasn't. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, Wilson had no future waiting for him. Or at least, that was until he volunteered to become a test subject for Weapon X, a secret government project designed to induce superpowers for military purposes.

Wilson was not only promised a cure for his cancer, but the chance to become a hero. However, the experiments he faced were cruel and inhumane. While he gained superhuman physicality, and a healing factor that made him borderline unkillable, he was left severely disfigured, and deemed a failure. After staging a violent escape, Wade emerged a new man. He took the name Deadpool, and returned to mercenary work. Since then, Wilson has lived a life full of bloodshed and moral ambiguity. And jokes. Lots and lots of jokes.

Wherever he goes, violence and bad decisions are sure to follow. But maybe he'll get his act togther someday...

"I despise anyone who takes jewels from me! All the world's gems are mine to keep!"


Rouge the Bat is the world's greatest master thief, with a penchant for jewels and gemstones, liable to steal them from their proper owners the moment that she sees them. She's also a world renowned spy for the US government, taking orders directly from the president and involved heavily in operations conducted by the Guardian Units of Nations or GUN, a worldwide peace-keeping operation. How these two go together is unclear but she's very good at both.

"All of you at the Justice League stand as shining examples of what true heroism is. We only hope that one day the Ultimen can live up to your legend."

Each coming from different backgrounds, the Ultimen were a team of superpowered young adults. Joined by Maxwell Lord and a mutual desire to do good, they became a popular team with plenty of merchandise and great marketability.

At least, that's what they were led to believe.

Artificial life forms created in a laboratory, the Ultimen were implanted with fake memories to make them believe they were regular superheroes, created as a popular and government-loyal alternative to the Justice League should the need have ever arisen. Learning the truth after Long Shadow overheard a discussion about how they didn't have long to live and how they were expendable, most of them went mad, tearing the building apart searching for more answers and ultimately deciding with their sick minds that the best way to secure their legacy would be to kill the Justice League. Only Long Shadow stood against this, and as the others were defeated and arrested for their actions, he received the backing of the Justice League and was brought up to the Watchtower as their newest member. Later, an army of mindless Ultimen clones guided by Galatea through a forehead-mounted device would attack the Justice League watchtower in response to a perceived attack, orchestrated by Lex Luthor.

Unmarked feats come from the original team from the episode Ultimatum, whose unstable nature towards the end of their lifespan caused at least Wind Dragon to develop changes to their powers. All other feats (tagged 'C') should apply to this team, but all the comparatively mindless clones from said feats may not be able to achieve the unmarked feats.

You didn't see that coming?

Pietro Maximoff was born in Sokovia with his twin sister, Wanda. The country became the base of operations for a HYDRA cell operated by Wolfgang von Strucker, who recruited the twins to be in a series of tests giving the twins superpowers. While his sister got a number of mental abilities, Pietro acquired the ability of super speeds. When HYDRA fell, the twins joined Ultron, but eventually switched sides and helped the Avengers when they discovered Ultron's true intentions. Pietro then fought in the Battle of Sokovia alongside all of the other Avengers, but later sacrificed his own life to protect Hawkeye and a boy, much to his sister's grief.

"Shoot em up! Shoot em up!"

Shintarou Jagasaki is the main protagonist of the Jagaaaaaan manga. He works as a night patrol officer of Buppa City Police Department who, one day, was infected with a frenzied tadpole and became The Fractured Human Warrior "Jagaaaaaan", allowing him to obtain the ability to turn his right arm into the gun arm Jagan and meet his Partner, the Roving Owl Doku.

Forms

As Jagasaki constantly evolves in the series, to give a better idea of where he's at, the feats will be marked with a form. Below is a brief description of each of Jagasaki's forms thus far.

First Form - Jagasaki's first form is his regular human form. This allows him to look like a completely normal police officer.

Second Form - Jagasaki's second form is where the actual transformations start. This form is the basis of the Jagan's transformations, which allows it to transform into different versions of Jagan. This forms transformations end just below the shoulder and still allow Jagasaki full awareness and empathy.

Third Form - Jagasaki's third form's transformations ends around the face and chest area and allow Jagasaki moderate awareness and empathy. In this form, Jagasaki's bullets become much more powerful, as they are able to pass through much stronger material, even being able to shoot through and explode the head of Kashikomarionette, who's head was around five times the size of Jagasaki's whole body. This form allows moderate awareness and moderate empathy.

Fourth Form - Jagasaki's fourth form is the closest he has come to fracturing. This form transforms most of his body with growths coming out of his back and allows him low awareness and empathy. Unlike the other forms, this form has the passive ability of giving Jagasaki himself increased strength, endurance, agility, regeneration, an eye patch with scope-like properties and the ability to use multiple Jagan forms at once. Along with the draw back of becoming almost fractured, if turned back into his human form afterwards, his body will require rest due to the energy that was used in the transformation and possible weaponry used, sometimes even resulting in Jagasaki passing out from fatigue. This form is so powerful that Jagasaki can take on and even kill evolved fractured humans, which are unique in that it would usually take multiple fractured human warriors to kill these creatures. This form can also only be brought about if in an intense emotional situation, like being near death, or if near his trigger, Bell. This form allows moderate awareness and low empathy.

Fifth Form - This atomic reactor of desire is the strongest form of Jagasaki yet, combining his Jagan and Cell Manipulation abilities to maintain it. This form covers his chest, right side of his head and his entire arm in fractured cells and creates a storage deposit for energy in said areas, in the chest however, his storage deposit is specifically his heart. These energy deposits are in a circular shape, are reflective and also have large veins connecting each of them. His eyes, instead of gaining a black sclera, has his left stay normal and his right gain the circular storage deposit, resembling a goggle. Jagasaki also gains the side effect of emitting lightning-like energy and a mist of dead fractured cells from his body, most likely a bi-product of the excess desires being stored up, turned into energy as it exits his body, and the killing of fractured cells, due to cell manipulation, causing them to flake off of his body in a mist. This form, unlike the other forms, seemingly have far less negative drawbacks due to Jagasaki seeming like his normal human self once completing his transformation, seeming much more like his human form in term of awareness and empathy. This is most likely due to how he can now control his power completely, meaning that he can keep it from causing him to lose his humanity. Jagasaki can now seemingly enter this form at will, without having to go through the others first.

Jagan

Due to the frenzied tadpole infecting him, Jagasaki is able to turn his right arm in to a fractured gun arm, known as Jagan. When fired, the Jagan shoots out an organic bullet

Handgun

Jagasaki's first transformation for jagan was it's handgun form. It transforms by conjoining his index and middle finger with a hole at the end of the conjoint mass, acting as the muzzle for the bullet to shoot out of, causing it to resemble that of a handgun. Any living thing that the bullet hits will explode into a mess of gore upon impact, making it a very powerful weapon.

Cannon Jagan

Not much is known about this form, as it isn't used much and is mainly used for utility, but it is known that this form shoots a powerful rocket that can blast Jagasaki into the air by at least 10 meters. This form engulfs Jagasaki's entire hand and has a massive hole for the rocket to exit out of.Jagasaki obtained this form after he transformed without knowing and narrowly avoided a lethal blow from Reina Ikegami by blasting himself out of a window. This was when he figured out he could change Jagan into different weapon types.

Sniper Jagan

This form engulfs his entire hand (and arm if in his third form) and has an extended barrel, due to it's sniper-like properties. Unlike Jagasaki's other Jagan forms, this version has a scope which allows him to be more accurate against any fractured humans, like Reina Ikegami who ran as fast as a horse. The drawback to this however is that Sniper Jagan is quite cumbersome, as Jagasaki usually needs to stay still as he aims and cannot move very far while Jagan is in this form.

Palm Jagan

This form is very similar to Pistol Jagan, as it has the same power as the pistol form, but instead of the barrel being at the conjoint index and middle finger, it is on the palm. This form is seemingly only used for the purposes of escaping constriction.

Rocket Jagan

This weapon sprouted from Jagasaki in his fourth form. Unlike Cannon Jagan, Rocket Jagan seems to actually be used as a weapon by Jagasaki and can fire 4 rockets at once at the intended target in it's quad rocket form. Alternatively, it can be fused into one singular rocket to completely destroy a single area or being.

Mini Gun Jagan

This weapon sprouted from Jagasaki in his fourth form. Jagasaki seems to need to hold on to this weapon with both hands as he fires it, most likely to reduce the recoil and due to how heavy the weapon probably is. This weapon has the fastest rate of fire in Jagasaki's arsenal.

Revolver Jagan

This weapon sprouted from Jagasaki in his fourth form. Jagasaki has only been shown firing this weapon a couple of times and may to function similarly to pistol Jagan.

Winged Jagan

One of the non weapon type forms of Jagan, Winged Jagan turns both of Jagasaki's arms into wings. The arm wings resemble a more bird like appendage. This allows him to gain the extremely useful ability of flight, as this gives him the height and evasion advantage when fighting his enemies, as shown in Jagasaki's fight with Shakuntani when he could barely fight against Jagasaki while in this form.

Scope Jagan

One of the non weapon type forms of Jagan, Scope Jagan sprouts a telescope like appendage. This scope can either sprout out of Jagasaki's right arm, or directly on his right eye, if in his fourth form. This allows him to look through it to zoom his sight in on an area, without weighing him down like sniper Jagan.

Tentacle Jagan

Tentacle Jagan causes Jagasaki's body to sprout tentacles from his back (either as secondary weapons, armor or simple aesthetics) and turn his arm into a larger version of Sniper Jagan. This form seems to be one of the more powerful forms that Jagasaki can form. It is able to shoot possibly farther than Sniper Jagan and can even pierce the thick armor of Takkun's shield sword.

Jet Jagan

One of the non weapon types of Jagan, Jet Jagan turns Jagasaki's arm into an engine. This allows Jagasaki to move at incredible speeds, allowing him to dodge and counter foes with ease.

Trident Jagan

A form specifically made for piercing through the toughest of materials, Trident Jagan incorporates the use of Jagan's piercing rounds and Jagasaki entering his fourth form. This Form of Jagan has enough piercing power to go straight through the head of Misogi Hakuto's berserker Misogideon form.

Dragon Jagan

The most powerful Jagan form yet, the Dragon Jagan form is created by Jagasaki redirecting his growths to make a small jet plane in the appearance of a Chinese Dragon's head with the energy from Jagasaki being expelled through the exhaust and a large gun formed in the mouth. Through a combination of the high speed and sharp teeth of this form, it can even go straight through the steel-like armour of Misogi Hakuto's Beserker Misogideon. The two big drawbacks from this form of Jagan are that it requires Jagasaki to enter his fourth form, as it is the only way he can build up this much mass and energy. this will mean however that not only will he collapse from exhaustion after using it, but he will also need either a large amount of Duhnng-Balls or have Yuma Kujou destroy the fractured cells faster than they can fracture Jagasaki. The other drawback is that Jagasaki will need to build up vast quantities of energy if he wishes to stay in the sky, meaning that if he were to need to fire at an opponent, he will be unable to until he can guarantee he can take them out in one shot. With the combination of him going into his fourth form and using so much energy, using this form of Jagan can put Jagasaki in a coma, which can last for around two weeks.

Domination Jagan

Possibly the second most powerful form of Jagan, Domination Jagan was created by combining Jagan with his newly discovered cell manipulation power and intitially entering his reborn form. This allowed him to destroy fractured human cells faster than they could fully fracture him, allowing him to create a more powerful weapon out of Jagan. This form of Jagan is able to store massive amounts of energy, much like Dragon Jagan to a lesser extent, allowing him to shoot bullets powerful enough to pierce the carbon skin of Mikazuchi Takemitsu.

The Legion of the Damned is shrouded in legend and mystery; their origins are an enigma, their members, unknown, yet they have saved the Imperium of Man countless times over a span of more than ten millennia. When all hope is lost, the Legion materialize out of nothing to relieve the beleaguered Imperial defenders and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Those they save quickly realize that they are more than the superhuman Space Marines. Once their objective is done, they silently disappear back into the Immaterium and maintain their vigil over the Imperium.

Their visage is a spectral, flame-wreathed Space Marines clad in bone-trimmed armour of the deepest black. To those who witness them, they appear to be in flux, seemingly half-corporeal in one moment, while the next, completely solid. On occasion, a hint of a grinning skull or grey, decaying flesh can be glimpsed through cracks in their armour.

Respect Wolfe Allelujah!

Background

"I'm feeling the need to be arrogant. Let me tell you just why you have already lost this situation."

August and Chanaé have been tasked with escorting a woman named Karissa Jackson to The Desert Shrine - Dream Remnants. As they reach the oasis, the being known as Wolfe Allelujah awaits them at the entrance, intending to take her life. August steps up to confront Wolfe as Chanaé and Karissa retreat within, and in response, Wolfe decides to humour him. Their encounter never escalated beyond a casual display.


Before we begin...

  • The consciousness behind his reality can automatically reset actions and willpower - pg. 46

Before August could react, Chanaé had blown a diamond dust kiss towards Wolfe.

Mirror of Deus…

The consciousness behind the reality of Wolfe Allelujah, which is also behind every form of reality, fiction, nonexistence and existence ever mentioned or seen (and the infinite multiplicity amount never mentioned, or seen, or even conceived of yet…) reacted automatically to her threat, setting all actions and willpower back to zero.

"Thanks for the kiss beautiful." Wolfe Allelujah said, winking at Chanaé.

  • Teleports behind August before revealing he is holding back for his sake - pg. 48

"Sure, I'll let you pass for now." Wolfe Allelujah said, appearing behind August.

"…"

"Just to let you know, this is not something I usually do... fighting opponents who I know have no chance of beating me. But I'm making an exception for you, to offer some measure of peace that you at least tried to save the anomaly before your time and memory disappeared." Wolfe Allelujah said, observing Chanaé and Karissa entering the waterfall.

  • Flaunts his boundary manipulation - pg. 48 to 50

"I have the ability to manipulate all boundaries." Wolfe Allelujah explained.

In a finite unchanging moment, Wolfe Allelujah flagged his existence.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Life/Death.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Possible/Certain.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Past/Present/Future.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Wave/Particle.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Existence/Nonexistence.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Illusion/Reality.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Everywhere/Nowhere.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Knowledge/Ignorance.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Cause/Effect.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Self/Everything.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Relative/Absolute.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Limited/Unlimited.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Perfect/Imperfect.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Physical Boundaries.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Motion/Stillness.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Freedom/Obedience.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Unity/Division.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Origin/Destination.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Truth/Lies.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Life/Death.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Superior/Inferior.

Wolfe Allelujah shattered the boundaries between Defeat/Victory.

Wolfe Allelujah smiled in the presence of August, completely ignoring the paralyzed August.

Wolfe Allelujah had absolute supremacy over all boundaries, whether material, conceptual, metaphysical and beyond.

Since all and nothing can be materially and existentially defined by boundaries, the possibility and actuality of Wolfe Allelujah defined the Ultimate.

  • Holds a fusion between nothingness and every possible thing and event in his hand - pg. 50

"Honestly, it's unfortunate to see that your brief extemporaneity was merely a passing reprieve."

Wolfe Allelujah said, opening up his hand to reveal the union of NOTHING and ALL POSSIBILITY.

  • Prevented from harming August as the results would be catastrophic - pg. 50

The scene warped into a fancy bedroom setting, introducing The Chaos Queen in front of them.

"You see, I cannot allow you two to do battle." The Chaos Queen said.

"Where are we?"

"We aren't anywhere near Existence…" Wolfe Allelujah said.

"Well, that's true. You two are within my realm now. Wolfe Allelujah, you have become the equivalent of the Supreme Being. It is because of that, I have to strip you from the world." The Chaos Queen expressed.

"Why couldn't we fight?"

"If you two would have done battle, it would have spelled The End." The Chaos Queen stated.

"Since this fight isn't going to happen, I'll take my leave then." Wolfe Allelujah said, walking away.


"Where are you going to go?" She asked.

"It's not like you can stop me." Wolfe Allelujah said.

"Would you like to gamble on that?" The Chaos Queen asked.

"…"

Wolfe Allelujah smiled, confidently approaching the couch that The Chaos Queen was sitting on.

Then, in a flash, August was in front of the waterfall.

[...]

"A path not chosen is the same as a path that never existed…" The Chaos Queen said, opening up her palm, revealing August sensing her in the Great Beyond.

From outside of the Great Beyond, Wolfe Allelujah smiled at the thought of August and his potential, walking towards a road darker than black.

Respect The Helltaker

"When demon girls are involved, no price is high enough"

 


 

The Helltaker is some guy who was involved in many 90's action flic like scenarios. Apparently alien invasions and the like aren't too uncommon in the world in which he lives. Anyway, one day he woke up with an epiphany. He wanted a harem of hot demon girls, so he went to hell to take some.

 


Key:

  • Helltaker = HT

  • Comics = C

  • Artbook + Pancake Recipe = A

The Comics are canon to the series according to the creator of the game (who also made the comics)

A lot of people always point to Hades or Cronus when they think of higher tiers in the verse they always forget about Poseidon so I decided to make RT for the dude.

("So, Arthur seeks to challenge the ruler of this realm... He will find that the Castle of Astaroth has a new lord as well as many powerful minions to fight on his command. My demon brethren! Destroy this human, and tonight, we dine on his bones!")

Among the armies of the Ghoul Realm, the Red Arremers are some of the most fearsome, but none more so than the one known as the Red Blaze, Firebrand. A descendant of the original Red Blaze (also called Firebrand), both he and his ancestor heeded the call when the King of Destruction swept his influence across the realm, fighting back against the darkness and chaos it wrought, both ultimately succeeding. After this, Firebrand sought further glory, searching across the land for the six Crests, each of which held great power and had the potential to grant anyone who gathered all six the ability to conquer the realm. He succeeded twice, being attacked while still greatly injured from succeeding the first time and needing to regather the Crests before his newfound enemy used them to gain Infinity, but soon after disposed of them. Realizing his true power came from himself, Firebrand set off once more, hoping to face even more worthy warriors to enter the glory of battle with.

As Firebrand is a name rather than a title of any kind, the majority of this RT will be taken up by what is assumed to be a the single main Firebrand, covering Gargoyle's Quest, Demon's Crest, and the two Marvel vs Capcom appearances which use the name. After will cover the noted unique Firebrand from Gargoyle's Quest 2, and following that general feats for Red Arremers where they do not receive a unique name.

Crests

Six Crests with dominion over different elements and aspects of reality which fell from the heavens into the Demon Realm, sparking years of conflict as many tried to get their hands on it. At the start of Demon's Crest, Firebrand was attacked just after gaining all of them, spending the rest of the game reclaiming them, using each Crests to alter his abilities. He is capable of instantly swapping between their abilities on the fly, but can only be influenced by one at a time. At the end of the game, Firebrand realised his true power came from himself, and disposed of the Crests seemingly outside of the Demon RealmDC

Spheal and its evolutions Sealeo and Walrein are very common Pokemon found along coastlines. They live and travel in large herds of 20-30 individuals, and their thick blubber and furry hide allow them to live comfortably on islands as well as around the icy tundra. They often use their large mass and ability to fire ice-based projectiles to fight.

Respect Yone, the Unforgotten

“They look at me and see only the mask. I look at them and see only their fears.”

In life, he was Yone—half-brother of Yasuo, and renowned student of his village’s sword school. But upon his death at the hands of his brother, he found himself hunted by a malevolent entity of the spirit realm, and was forced to slay it with its own sword. Now, cursed to wear its demonic mask upon his face, Yone tirelessly hunts all such creatures in order to understand what he has become.

  • Biography

  • Kin of the Stained Blade

  • The Path

  • Note that this refers to the Spirit Blossom event and skin line and might be considered AU. At the same time, the Spirit Blossom event covers canon Ionian afterlife myths, as mentioned in Kin of the Stained Blade, and the events of The Path mirror Yone's canon death and rebirth, so I'm treating it as canon for this RT.

Respect Yasuo, the Unforgiven

"Death is like the wind — always by my side."

An Ionian of deep resolve, Yasuo is an agile swordsman who wields the air itself against his enemies. As a proud young man, he was falsely accused of murdering his master—unable to prove his innocence, he was forced to slay his own brother in self-defense. In time, his master’s true killer was revealed, and his brother mysteriously returned from death, yet Yasuo still could not forgive himself for all he had done. Now, he wanders the world with only the wind to guide his blade.

Respect Houken

I am the Bushin. Houken be mine name.

Basic Info: Houken is a major antagonist in the manga 'Kingdom'. He's not much a leader, like most of the Generals and high ranking officials on his level, but he's one of the strongest physical threats in the story. Houken dedicated his life to being a Bushin. A Path Seeker who attempts to attain perfect martial prowess in order to bring peace to the ancient world. Houken might not be the greatest or most tactical general on the field, but he's usaully the most dangerous. Now that I strongly suspect his part of the story is done, I thought it was a great time show him some respect!

Houken is a beast. I would make respect threads for some other Kingdom characters, but it doesn't feel right until they're dead. Let me know if there's anything I can fix or clarify or whatever!

*Note: Some of the galleries linked are pretty long! Let me know if I should like pretty them up somehow. Some fights are multiple entire chapters but breaking them up into individual feats and trying to scale without thorough RTs for other characters didn't seem feasible!

Virgo Shaka


Gold Saints Theme/Virgo Shaka's theme


Name: Shaka

Age: 20 (Saint Seiya official ages are bullshit, so grain of salt)

Height: 182cm (6'2)

Weight: 68kg (150lbs)


Bio; One of the 12 Gold Saints of Athena, Virgo Shaka has spoken with Buddha from an early age. Dwelling on the concepts of good, evil, chaos, suffering an joy, he mastered not only the 7th Sense, but also the 8th, overcoming death itself. To control and refine his great power, Shaka sealed his eyesight away, so that he could only unleash his full power if he opened his eyes. Shaka excelled through the ranks of Saints and earned the tile of "The Man closest to God" making him the strongest Gold Saint of his era. He eventually sacrificed his life to destroy the Wailing Wall so Seiya and company could save Athena from Hades.

A stress ball thats in the shape of a pumpkin, created by Amazing! Co. When squeezed, all stress is removed from a person.

However, when the ball is left unsqueezed for more then 48 hours, it will start manipulating probability so stress-inducing accidents happen, in order to make someone squeeze it. The longer its left unsqueezed, the worst the accidents are.

Right now, it has been contained by the RPC Authority, organization that protects humanity from anomalies.
