Name: Nexus, Lord of the Ether
Age: Unknown
Alignment: Evil
Species: Cromian Patriarch
Height: 9’8
Weight: 457 pounds
Length: None
Wingspan: 12 feet
Description: An angular, lithe humanoid mecha with a black coloration starts it off. Angular, dark-purple ‘armor’ covers most of his head, shins, forearms, upper chest (and most of back), pelvis, and shoulders; the shin and forearm plating’s tops/front shaped like diamonds, and the shoulder plates resembling diamonds with the bottom point flattened. A three-pointed ‘star’ made of dark-purple metal adorns his chest, with a dark-red, semi-transparent hemisphere set into it’s center, as well as a three-pointed, chrome crest adorning his forehead (one point jutting off to each side, and one pointing straight up). His eyes are a pure crimson, and if one looks close enough, they can see a sort of ‘pupil’ behind the semi-transparent material. Most of his face-plate is composed of what looks like teardrop-shaped ‘teeth’, each set against the other to cover what lays beneath perfectly. Several jagged triangular blades adorn edge of each forearm, the feet end in a pair of forward-pointing claws, and the hands end in four segmented, clawed fingers. His back is adorned by two wings, each shaped much like a jagged, stretched-out triangle, with the points flattened. Between the wings is pair of 5-foot long, black rods. He’s usually seen wearing a thick black cape across his back, his wings folding onto his back to allow such a thing.
Abilities:
Dark Matter Manipulation- Nexus has an almost-complete control over dark matter, the main composition of the universe. By routing this energy through his frame, he can expel it from the palms of his clawed hands in almost any shape, the energy’s strength dependant on how much Nexus wants to muster up for it (note: the more energy gathered, the longer the charge time). Can use at will, but if Nexus gathers too much energy at once, it can damage himself as well. Several known techniques using this ability are listed below:
Shadow Wave- Nexus fires off a rapid-fire capability beam or sphere of the energy, roughly strong enough to punch into a car.
Shadow Burst- By focusing Ether into the diamond-shapes on his knuckles, they will release a powerful shockwave of concussive energy upon impact. The burst is powerful enough to rip through a wall, and the force behind the fist is decent, so the two coupled together make a deadly close-range weapon.
Shadow Whip- Nexus can produce a tendril of energy up to 20 feet long from his hands. He has complete control over these, and can manipulate their cutting potential (from cutting through concrete to being hit with a rope).
Shadow Vortex- Nexus can create swirling pools of energy centered on his palms, and upon striking someone flat-palmed, the energy will shred anything on contact like a saw blade.
Shadow Storm- Nexus creates a field of energy-needles around the target, then clenches his fist, causing all the needles to simultaneously strike the target, each with roughly the force of a machine gun bullet.
Shade Buster- The central ‘point’ on Nexus’s head-crest will slide upwards, revealing a diamond-shaped red crystal. The crystal will then quickly draw in energy before unleashing it as a thin beam of electric-red energy. The beam has significant concussive potential, and can burn through most materials with ease. Couple these together, and you have an effective all-range beam weapon. Rapid fire isn’t possible with this, and after the beam is fired, it requires a 2-minute cool down.
Void Pulse- By routing dark matter (see Dark Matter Manipulation) and energy from Durutas-38 into his chest, Nexus can fire a wide, mid-ranged blast of fiery, electric-blue energy streaked with black from the ‘star’ on is chest. The blast is slightly stronger than Varion’s Nebula Pulse in all respects, and the Dark Matter adds a slight disintegrative property to the mix. Requires a three-second charge time.
Shade Duplicate- Utilizing his control over dark matter, Nexus can make semi-solid copies of himself at will. Said copies are somewhat transparent, and have a darker coloration that the actual Nexus. Each copy can only last up to 5 minutes, but can be dismissed at will.
Astral Abilities- While not as strong as some, Nexus does boast an impressive strength, being able to lift/exude up to 5 times his own body weight normally, maximum 7 times his weight if straining. Also, he can move at roughly 60 times faster than that of a normal human.
Overdrive- By drawing in excessive amounts of energy, Nexus will begin to glow a sickly-green color, and his hip/forearm/shoulder/shin plates jut out. In this mode, all of his physical abilities increase output 10-fold. He’s faster, stronger, and the excessive energy he generates can empower his energy attacks, as well as serve as a sort of extra defense, active as long as he’s in Overdrive mode. However, he can only sustain this mode for roughly five minutes; otherwise he’ll start taking damage from the sheer heat he produces.
Power of the Great Star- Nexus is powered by a source with an exponential amount of energy: An artificially-created star by the name of Durutas-38. Instead of having a gaseous core, the star has a large hollow, metal sphere that used to house the mecha, with multiple ‘solar panels’ are located along the outer-most edge of the sphere, drawing in the star’s limitless energy and providing it to Nexus via a sort of ‘satellite’ system. As long as the star exists, and the solar panels are intact, Nexus has unlimited energy, but there is one drawback: If his core is breached, he will have an increasing chance of going critical, vaporizing everything in a mile-radius if such an event occurs.
Cromian Master- Being the main source of these biomechanical corruptors in the universe, Nexus has the ability to spawn Cromian Cells with a bit of concentration, he has a high-grade regeneration (as seen in all Cromians), and he has a strong telepathic control over all other Cromians. Like other Cromians, he absorbs organic matter into himself for sustenance and to repair wounds faster; however, his mechanical parts make him immune to gamma/electromagnetic radiation’s painful effects on his Cromian cells (though the attacks themselves still affect him fully).
Personality: Nexus is a silent, straight-to-the-point villain. He rarely takes the time to insult an opponent (unless they really start to piss him off), and has a bit of an anger problem, despite always seeming so calm. He knows how to attack an opponent’s weak points, and will always do so, whenever possible. He always plans out every single action, and despite seeming as if he’s always in a rush, is in fact a very patient being.
History: Unknown, but he seems to know Varion extremely well, and has a strong distaste for the machine.
Equipment/Belongings:
Aries Blades- At will, Nexus can cause a pair of handles to emerge from the center his shoulders, allowing themselves to be ‘unsheathed’ into a pair of 6-foot long, jagged, katana-like blades. Upon being drawn, the blades themselves will then split down the middle (edge-wise) and produce a fiery blue energy. The blades alone are sharp enough to cut through rock, and the added energy the blades produce aids their cutting potential, as well as cauterizing most wounds they cause. These weapons run off of the same energy source as Nexus himself, so they can be deployed as long as required.
Hell Breaker- The two 5-foot rods on Nexus’s back will detach and fly into the air, and two triangular shapes will fly out of Nexus’s shoulder-plates. The four parts will then be magnetically drawn to each other, combining into a 10-foot long pole with the two triangular shapes on the top, the pole connected to one of the triangle’s sides. The forward-facing flat side of the triangle will then project a 10-foot long, curving blade of purple-blue energy hot enough to melt synthetic diamond, giving the entire weapon the appearance of a scythe. The energy it generates will destabilize most other sources of energy (i.e. including beams, shields, etc). Upon the blade entering a solid target, the generator will flare up its energy output, destabilizing all opposing energy within the target, most likely causing instant death. This blade can be sustained for 2 minutes at a time, for due to its high energy output, the blade generator will overheat and most likely shut down.
