Lord Ferronidas

"Who am I? I'm the guy who wins."
~ Ferronidas to Skullington in Stupid Mickey has a Bizarre Encounter.Ferronidas, commonly referred to as Lord Pothead is a character in the Terrachaoverse series & served as a main protagonist in the earlier installments of the show, but has only appeared occasionally later on. He is an Archangel sent by God to occasionally visit Earth & is considered by some to be a superhero. But he claims that he's just trying to do the right thing, combating sin rather than just crime.
Tier: Varies when holding back; 4-B, higher with Penance Mode; Unknown in his true form
== Appearance ==
Ferronidas looks almost identical to Dan, save for the fact that he's slightly taller & his facial expressions tend to differ. He is always seen wearing a silver cooking pot on his head called the Pot of Miracles, capable of granting miracles & stunning enemies. It is notably covered in dents, which are signs of battle damage as a result of fighting Demons. Ferronidas is also always clad in robes, usually of turquoise & white, but has been known to wear other colored robes like dark green & black. He is often depicted in light clothing, usually blue, white, or gray. He also wears glasses.
In The Weirdest Christmas Special Ever (Part 2), it was revealed that Ferronidas' appearance was purposely meant to mimic how Dan would look because he was assigned as his Guardian Angel. He actually has a true form behind his human-like appearance which stays in Heaven. It looks like the Pot of Miracles with four glowing blue eyes & seven handles, each with a small blue eye on each end. He also has a pair of white wings & a shiny silver halo floating above his "head".
== History ==
=== Ancient Angel ===
Ferronidas was created by God in Heaven 4.543 billion years ago. He participated in the Great War in Heaven eons years ago where he helped drive Satan & his fellow Fallen Angels into Hell. Afterwards, he would train to become the greatest warrior he could be, one who would become devoted to protecting & guiding the lifeforms who would inhabit the Earth. He has been known to be very fond of humans, surveying their progress as a species & studying them as he watched them evolve, though he also took an interest in dinosaurs, who were the dominant lifeforms before man.
After the Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction Event over 65 million years ago, he met the ghost of a velociraptor whom he named Skullnimbus. Apparently, Skullnimbus ate a magic crystal before he died, & from doing so he gained magical powers & a humanoid body. Upon dying, Skullnimbus became a floating skull with a shadowy body. That crystal apparently belonged to Ferronidas, who appointed him to become his trustful sidekick from thereon.
=== Training the Kaisers ===
Ferronidas was sent to Earth in 2010 to protect it from King Malizord, who was intent on bringing forth chaos & destruction to the blue & green planet. Doing so, he made his presence more flesh than spirit. He made himself accustomed to the humans, as he's always wanted to be like them. Upon further investigation of the planet, he met the young Daniel Ledda & told him about his true heritage: the Kaisers. Since then, he's worked with Dan as his Guardian Angel, guiding him & educating him on how to harness his powers & when to use them.
From 2012 to 2013, he spend his time among Jake, Owen, Josh, Dan, training them in the way of the Kaiser. He also attended a lot of Randomness events, & in these times he would encounter the many Possessed Plushies, who would become a repeated thorn in his side. He attended Josh's birthday party on October 3rd, where he briefly met Dawson Moon & left.
On April 2nd, 2014, he would meet up with Jake & Owen again. This time they were in Dan's grandfather's house to combat the Orange Monkey, a Possessed Plushie who had been trespassing there. Apparently, this house contains a door that leads to the Land of the Nevers. Ferronidas threatened to throw the Orange Monkey in there, but changed his mind when he realized the door was locked. Not to mention, that realm is only accessible at night, anyway. He & the other two would just goof around instead.
On October 9th, Ferronidas was visiting the Ledda Residence in Maryland. Everything was going fine until he had sensed an unusual presence upstairs. To his shock, the Orange Monkey had found two more Possessed Plushies he was unfamiliar with, which also resembled monkeys. The three of them latched onto his throat, but he tore them off of him & beat them senseless before using a nearby closet to banish them to Jacksonville, Florida. This was done through a special device that Dan was showing to his family which can make doors gateways to other dimensions.
=== Meeting Stupid Mickey ===
MORE TO BE ADDED SOON(ISH)
== Personality ==
Ferronidas is a very kind & generous man, forgiving & empathetic. But being an Archangel of Chaos, it's no surprise that he acts goofy quite a lot. His sense of humor is recognized by most of the people he meets. Despite his ancient age, his earlier appearances in the series depicted him as more childish & silly. But when duty calls, he knows it's time to take things seriously. This more truer persona of his is what he's maintained from 2015 onward. But despite that he is an angel who upholds order & the authority of God himself, he does have some chaos in him.
When he activates his Penance Mode, his mind becomes a little bit unstable. His minion, Spachoola noted that he acts "insane" in that form. Although, this could simply be a hyperbole, as Malizord's powers can affect people from lightyears away, using them to cause insanity in Ferronidas. The Penance Mode simply makes him more aggressive; Malizord just likes to mess with his mind.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Archangel Strength: Ferronidas is a strong warrior from the heavens who is comparable to Kaisers in terms of strength. Even when holding back immensely, he could ragdoll Heartman, overpower Dangerous Man, & routinely make quick work of the Possessed Plushies. He was also able to defeat Shadowballa with little effort & Count Maluss (who was possessing someone at the time), as well as help Vendu & Claudius temporarily kill Trip Man. While he does acknowledge Darths Vader & Nihilus as genuine threats, he still scales above them. His humanoid form is strong enough to destroy a star system but his true form's strength is unknown.
Archangel Speed: Ferronidas is much faster than lightning & lazers, as he was able to completely speedblitz Shadowballa once he started taking him seriously, able to snatch away his Magic Wand in a second without him noticing until he looked at his own hands. He should be comparable to Vendu in terms of how fast he is, which should be thousands of times faster than light.
Invulnerability: Ferronidas is incredibly durable thanks to his species' anatomy. While the Possessed Plushies have exploited his blind spots before, he was merely toying with them, making them think they could harm him when in reality they are unfathomably weaker than him. He is also resistant to extreme temperatures & pressures, as he was able to dip his hands into lava to create the Pot of Miracles. He has taken hits from Shadowballa's wand, physical attacks from Mal, & can withstand the destruction of a star system. His true form's durability is unknown.
Immortality: Ferronidas is immortal in the sense that he lives indefinitely & is not bound by conventional life or death since he is a spiritual being. However, he loses his deathless immortality when manifesting in the physical world, meaning he can be killed with sufficient powers, but he is still sent back to Heaven afterwards.
Flight: Despite not showing his wings, Ferronidas can fly. His flight speed is the same as his normal speed. 
Self-Sustenance: As a spiritual being, he does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe to survive like most living beings. This can be seen when he was meditating underwater in STUPID MICKEY MEETS SANS.
Ghost Physics: An Archangel is not bound by the physical realm, making themselves intangible & invisible if need be. However, Ferronidas has only demonstrated the latter, as seen when he was hiding from Heartman in Close Encounters of the Stupid Kind.
Skilled Swordsmanship: As someone who has served as a Jedi Grandmaster for a long time, Ferronidas has mastery of several forms of lightsaber combat. His preferred styles are listed below:
* Soresu: Form III of lightsaber combat is focused on patience & defense, waiting for your opponent to make a mistake & then immediately take the chance to strike. This is the style that he mainly taught Mickey.
* Ataru: Form IV of lightsaber combat is focused on speed & acrobatics, which is fitting for a being like Ferronidas, able to fly around as a moving target that's hard for his opponents to keep up with.
Craftsmanship: Ferronidas has shown experience in creating tools & weapons like the famous Pot of Miracles he wears on his head. He has also repaired weapons & made a silver knife for Mickey that can summon him.
=== Special Powers ===
Virtue Manipulation: Ferronidas is aligned with the Seven Heavenly Virtues, able to detect where they are being practiced & can become empowered by the good done by them.
Teleportation: Ferronidas can disappear & reappear at will for transportation. He can also teleport other beings to different locations, like when he defeated the Great Scrubbinator, Shadowballa, & Dangerous Man.
* Heveportation: He can travel to Heaven & back.
Photokinesis: As an Angel, Ferronidas is naturally capable of emitting light from his body, usually from his eyes as an intimidation display.
Angelic Wail: Ferronidas can let out an ear-piercing scream that can stun his opponents. Just one of these screams could instantly knock down Shadowballa. This same screech is also used for Ferronidas' alarm clock.
Miracles: The counter to magic is a miracle, which is what Angels use to oppose Demons.
* Soul Manipulation: As an Archangel, Ferronidas can manipulate one's soul in a variety of ways. It's possible that he could even cleanse someone of their sins, as he would sometimes say "Repent & thou shall be saved!" when he is about to finish off his opponent. He can also protect his spirit, as the Possessed Plushies, despite their lackluster physical strength can do harm to one's spirit when they go all out.
** Exorcism: He can release the soul from one's body, but he only does this in the case of a demonic possession. While he is capable of doing this to other opponents who aren't unholy, his moral restraints prevent him from doing so, as it would be unethical by his standards.
** Purity Check: He can see into one's soul by intensely staring at them to determine if they are sinful. This is how he recruited the Seal of Approval.
* Blessed Dance: By performing a sacred dance alongside another holy being, Ferronidas can bless an object or territory. He did this with Asmodeus in late 2018 on Dan's house after Asmodeus got concerned about Valak's presence. The effects of this dance did work, but only temporarily. This is an ability that's powered by hope, so it likely works best when more people are doing it.
* Divine Healing: Ferronidas can miraculously heal others from their wounds, which he tried doing to Josh in Outside!?!?.
* Electrokinesis: Ferronidas' preferred element of offense is electricity, which he often channels through his weapons. He can even do this to himself as a way of restoring his energy.
* Pyrokinesis: He can spawn blue flames, as shown when he exorcised Skullington.
* Telekinesis: He can move things without touching them, usually applying a hand gesture when doing so.
The Force: Ferronidas can utilize the power of the Force, though the exact extent of these abilities are unknown.
* Force Sensing: He can sense other Force Users & detect disturbances in the Force, as shown when he sensed Darth Vader, deeming his presence as millions of jimmies being rustled all at once. When Nihilus was resurrected, he described his presence as if something terrible happened.
* Force Meditation: By taking the time to relax & meditate, he can calm his spirit & become aware of occurrences that are happening around him that he wouldn't normally know. This is how he was able to figure out that Skullnimbus could not maintain his physical form for much longer. This ability appears to work best underwater.
* Telepathy: Ferronidas can communicate with others through the Force.
Penance Mode: This is a special but dangerous form of Ferronidas where he puts on black robes & performs acts of divine judgment on a much more aggressive & ruthless scale than he would normally. This form of his, while more powerful is a risky move since it makes him more prone to losing his cool.
True Form: Ferronidas' true form is similar to the Ophanim & is eldritch-looking in appearance. This form of his is vastly more powerful than he usually is, even dwarfing the Penance Mode, but this form in particular is stationary & stays in Heaven alongside Yahweh. Unlike his normal form, this form is purely spiritual & is separate from the physical realm entirely.
* Non-Corporeality: This angelic form does not have the physical limitations of standard lifeforms. A normal physical being couldn't even touch him in this form unless they had some special ability that would allow them to do so.
* Haunting Visage: While not really much of a superpower per se, his true form looks as scary as it does so that he can scare Demons away. Apparently, Ferronidas has shown this to other people before, as he claimed that most who have seen his true form run away from the sight of it.
* Transformation: Since his true form is stationary in Heaven, he can send a physical form of his into the Terrachaoverse through a humanoid body. As explained in the previous ability, Ferronidas appears in a more familiar form when visiting Earth so he doesn't scare people away.
== Equipment ==
The Pot of Miracles: Ferronidas' namesake & the most prominent feature of his appearance is the Pot of Miracles, a powerful holy weapon he created himself when the Earth was in its primordial state. Dipping his hands into molten metal, Ferronidas crafted it out of iron & soaked it in holy water to cool it down. The pot can not only be used for cooking, but also for protective headwear & as a melee weapon, but it also has some unique powers of its own that only Ferronidas can command.
* Holy Lightning: The pot can channel bolts of lightning allegedly conjured by Jesus Christ himself. In conjunction with Vendu's Psycho Bullet & Claudius' Solar Flame, this attack combination was able to temporarily kill one of Trip Man's avatars.
* Magnokinesis: The pot grants Ferronidas the ability to manipulate magnetism, as seen when he summoned the key to the Pentalock. Upon doing so, he is surrounded by a blue field of electromagnetic energy, which pulls specifically desired metal objects towards him.
* Transmogrification: By placing it atop someone's head, the pot can undo a transformation, though its bolts must be tapped first. This was done to Super Mickey to turn him back into Stupid Mickey.
* Mind Mash: A very dangerous power that Ferronidas only uses on those he deems sinful & wicked, he can place the pot atop their head & their mind would become overstimulated to the point where they are instantly knocked out.
* Heavenly Glimpse: Dan once put on the pot to have a quick look at what Ferronidas' true form looks like, giving him a brief glimpse at Heaven itself. Ferronidas claims that most who have done this have run away in fear from what they saw, likely out of disbelief.
Gopher Staff (formerly): A tool that's been upgraded over time but not used anymore, Ferronidas wielded one of Billy Mays' products as a weapon. His was specifically made out of blessed titanium, & its primary function was to grab things from a distance. It could also channel electric currents. He doesn't seem to use this anymore after 2015.
Mjölnir (formerly): Ferronidas once owned the hammer of Thor, an ancient weapon spoken of in Norse mythology. Made of uru, it is an incredibly strong weapon. He had first been seen using it in 2016, which got upgraded in 2018 to be bigger in size. He would lend it to Patriot Man in 2019, as he deemed him worthy to wield its power. 
* Mystic Lightning: Mjölnir's main power is enchanted bolts of lightning, one of which was able to defeat Shadowballa in one hit.
* Weather Manipulation: Mjölnir can also be used to create thunderstorms & windstorms.
* Objective Telekinesis: Mjölnir exclusively allows its wielder to have it come back to them if it's out of their reach.
Lightsaber: Ferronidas wields a star-brand lightsaber with an angelic steel hilt & a blue crystal.
== Weaknesses ==
Ferronidas may have an incredibly strong willpower, but Malizord's dark magic has been able to affect his mind by inducing insanity. As stated before, his Penance Mode is capable of causing him to act more aggressive as it pulls him towards the deadly sin of wrath, but he's been able to control it most of the time.
Also, manifesting a physical form to roam planet Earth has given him a vulnerability that he wouldn't have otherwise: physical pain. This means that he is weaker in the Terrachaoverse than when he's in Heaven.
== Trivia ==
* Before he was put in the Terrachaoverse series, he was originally designed to just be Superhuman instead of an Archangel, a change that didn't take long to come into place since the Emperor of Evil was often regarded as his worst enemy. Many videos were made featuring Lord Pothead that aren't canon anymore, but they further cemented this idea of them being rivals. In A Decade of Videoing, these videos were actually acknowledged as just Dan dressing up as Lord Pothead for the heck of it.
* Although his nickname is Lord Pothead, it is only literal because of his headgear & does not suggest that Ferronidas smokes weed.
* Despite his headgear, his appearance was not inspired by Johnny Appleseed. Instead, his appearance was inspired by the Intelligent Heavy from Minifett's GMOD videos.
* His real name was not revealed until the end of 2014, which comes from the word "ferrous", meant to describe certain metals. Ironically enough, the actual prop used for the pot on his head is made of aluminum, a non-ferrous metal.
*His true form is more like what a Seraphim looks like, not an Archangel. The latter are depicted as looking humanoid, while the former are more otherworldly in design. It is possible that Ferronidas is a unique hybrid of Seraphim & Archangel or that his humanoid form was chosen to be an Archangel so he wouldn't scare people away all the time.
*Despite existing before the humans' invention of the calendar, Ferronidas has a birthday listed as it would've corresponded with what date it would've been if a calendar did exist during his birth.
