The Emperor of Evil

"You know...you could totally destroy half the universe with that thing, maybe a little more if you're feeling like it."~ Emperor Akujin tempting Almighty Tallest Daniel Ledda in Dan Completes the Infinity Gauntlet for his Birthday (Part 1).Akujin, known throughout the realms as the Emperor of Evil is an important figure in the Terrachaoverse series & the titular protagonist of The Emperor of Evil vs. The Screaming Boy. While he's not always physically around, he's spiritually omnipresent, for he is the literal emperor of the idea of evil itself, ruling over the concept since he created it. Wherever there is good, there is evil, & that is where you will find him, no matter how far you travel throughout the Multiverse.
Tier: Avatars vary from 5-A to 2-A to above 1-C; possibly 1-A in his true form
== Appearance ==
Akujin, as an abstract entity, is formless. But most of the time, he chooses to look like a humanoid figure that resembles a silver skeleton with horns, sharp teeth, & a pair of black, soulless eyes. He is clad in black robes with a cape & a hood with a purple trim, while also wearing a purple sash & a purple belt. He bears the Pentagram Medallion, which is where all of the dark magic in the universe comes from. Sometimes he is seen wearing a ring, usually with a skull design on it.
== History ==
=== The Idea of Evil ===
The being known as Akujin was once one half of a nameless abstract force that existed in a void before creation. There was no time nor space to exist in, so on the first day, the Multiverse & all of its dimensions burst into creation. Upon this cosmic action occurring, this abstract force that began creation split into two beings, & one named itself Akujin, which it took from a language that didn't exist yet. Akujin would be paired up with an opposite deity who named itself Yahweh as a means of balancing good & evil. They realized that they must embody each side of morality; two halves of the same coin. Akujin would create many worlds & the entities that would inhabit them, becoming the ultimate God of his own multiverse. 
Akujin created Hell the same time as God created Heaven so that there would be a place for both pure & tainted souls to go to in death. In the years to come, Akujin took a special interest in a particular Archangel named Lucifer, who was God's favorite & brightest Angel. But Lucifer had his own ideas that strayed from God's vision, & in time he would form his own impure feelings from his status, especially since Akujin was tempting him from behind the scenes. He felt it all: sloth, gluttony, greed, lust, envy, wrath, & above all, pride. At some point in time, Lucifer started a rebellion, gathering his own Angels & causing the Great War in Heaven. It was the first & only conflict to ever breach the pearly gates, & after losing the battle, Lucifer & his accomplices were cast out of Heaven. Henceforth, Lucifer would forever become known as Satan, cursed to be the ruler of Hell, managing the wicked, evil souls who would eventually populate it. From this point onward, Akujin & Satan joined forces so that they could cause everything bad in history. Of course, bad is a point of view, so this could classify more than just tragic events. During that time, Akujin would also project avatars of himself to get in the way of Angels doing good deeds if Demons weren't enough to stop them. One particular Archangel named Ferronidas would become a most annoying pest to the emperor. 
Ten million years ago, Akujin spawned Acoutor, who would later earn the title of the God of Echoes. Acoutor would end up conquering 9,001 worlds within the Multiverse to prove his worth to his creator, who was indeed proud. But he couldn't do it alone; he had some help from his five clones: Nijeb, Atuji, Brute, Xtro, & E.C.H. This took Acoutor & his clones quite a long time to do. 
=== War of the Gods ===
Over time, Acoutor would end up becoming arrogant & obsessed with power, wanting to upstage Akujin & assume his throne of emperor. However, he did not know that the Emperor of Evil was only a fraction of the real Akujin. It was on July 2nd, 2011 when Acoutor came to Earth to exact his evil plan. Akujin was not aware of this until the Kaiser named Jake, who heard of the most powerful being in the world clad in dark robes with a dead face, came to him & warned him about "The Screaming Boy". Akujin sensed a familiar presence & knew that his creation had come to betray him. He & Jake teamed up & fought Acoutor in a good old fashioned duel. In the end, Acoutor was defeated, but Akujin spared him. But no act of Akujin is without its drawbacks; Acoutor was depowered to a Demigod & his screaming powers were silenced. This battle, along with those which would follow, would be documented by the Omnipresent Camera, a creation of the emperor's which is semi-sentient & is designed to record as much supernatural activity on Earth as possible.
Sixteen days later, the Screaming Boy clones would retaliate & attack Akujin, starting with Nijeb, who fought the emperor & lost in a very short duel, ending with his head being severed & his powers being absorbed. The following clone to attack was Atuji, who fought both Akujin & Jake on November 5th. Their duel lasted for hours, but Atuji was no more than an irritant to the Emperor of Evil. Atuji was brutally slain & the rest of the Screaming Boys would remain hidden until the following year.
On March 13th, 2012, Akujin had a meeting with Jake & Acoutor. The latter would end up joining forces with him to help destroy his remaining clones. At this point in time, Acoutor believed that only two of those clones were actual threats. The next day, Akujin & Acoutor would fight Brute, the strongest of the Screaming Boys. Using Acoutor's poisonous powers & a special weapon called the Death Wand, which could turn immortal beings mortal, Brute was vanquished over the course of two days.
On the 16th, Xtro appeared in the wake of Brute's death, & he ended up breaking the Death Wand, reversing its effects to give life instead of death. But as hard as he tried, he could not take the wand away, & Akujin instead used it to heal Acoutor when dealt a deadly injury. Xtro was finally slain hours later & Akujin devoured his soul. After a short meeting with Jake & Acoutor on August 9th (with a random cameo from Skullnimbus), Acoutor was unofficially renamed the Silent Boy. Also, Owen showed up & an explosion occurred for no reason.
=== Blessed with Knowledge ===
During his war against Acoutor's clones, Akujin would take notice of a growing power in the world, a Kaiser named Daniel Ledda who overthrew the Irken Empire with some help. Akujin had known about Dan since before his conception & knew he would play an important role in the future of the universe. Sometime in 2013, he visited him & struck a deal with him: Akujin would give him near-unlimited knowledge of the universe if he would in turn provide footage of the weird things that would happen in his life as a result of the growing amount of supernatural activity in his area. Dan agreed without a second thought, & so the deal had been made; Akujin had chosen Dan to bear the curse of knowledge. This would allow Dan & other select beings to see the Omnipresent Camera. Dan would take advantage of this invasive device & use it to make movies for his YouTube channel, as if he was making one gigantic documentary of the strange world he lives in. 
=== Of Pests & Thieves ===
January 25th, 2014 is when the final battle of the Screaming Boy War would commence. While Xtro was believed to be the final clone, the real final opponent went into hiding when he heard that Brute was killed. His name was E.C.H (Eccentric Clone Hero) & was known for his shape-shifting abilities. He was sighted at the Ledda Residence, with Akujin & Acoutor battling & chasing him throughout the universe over the course of nine days. When they returned to where they started, E.C.H was slain by Akujin & Acoutor, who basked in their victory knowing that it was all over. This was the last time these two have met as to date; Acoutor left his emperor to live a normal life, hoping one day to cross paths again.
On August 28th, Mr. Magic Man appeared at the Fall Residence to put on a magic show for Stupid Mickey. However, things took a turn for the worse when he accidentally summoned a medallion with a pentagram symbol from a sock. A grizzly voice echoed through the room claiming it, to which Magic Man immediately fled as Mickey tried to give him the medallion back. Ferronidas had sensed the all-too-familiar evil presence & returned to tell Mickey to hide. Recalling the appearance of the medallion from stories that Jake had told him, Mickey seemingly identified it as belonging to a "frenemy" of his, though he couldn't remember who. Mickey then fled & got Jake to come back, who recognized the medallion as belonging to the Emperor of Evil. With a burst of static, an avatar of Akujin appeared & Jake gave him his necklace. Akujin claimed that it was what contained all of the souls he's harvested, with Jake questioning if Akujin was the Grim Reaper & also believing he had claimed Mickey's soul before. Akujin disputed both claims, the latter particularly being a vision likely seen in a nightmare, which had unfortunately would become reality for Mickey. Jake was starting to grow tired of Mickey annoying him so he would place the blame on him instead of Mr. Magic Man for being the theft. As Jake would bring Mickey before the emperor, Akujin did not waste much time & stole Mickey's soul. However, this minor victory would not last long, as on October 19th, God revived Stupid Mickey because it was not his time to die yet.
=== A Fatal Halloween ===
As the days went by, Akujin found that Dan had kept his word & unleashed several films that documented all the strange things that have happened thus far. He even paid him a short visit on March 14th, 2015 to celebrate the most accurate Pi Day to have occurred in centuries. On October 3rd, while Dan was hanging out Commander Joshua Bunch, the magical skeleton named Cadavra Bones emerged from the pits of Hell & decided to hide in Dan's house along with his demonic friend, Pumpkinhead. Both of them were brought here by Akujin to test their worth. Considering that they were in Dan's house, challenges were guaranteed for the both of them. Akujin came to them on the 30th to warn them that if they failed to prove they are worthy to stay on Earth, he will banish them to Hell permanently for their incompetence. The next day, they would begin their Halloween madness. The first thing they did was give Dan a scare as soon as he read a note Akujin left for him, but the Kaiser launched a barrage of lightning at Pumpkinhead & left into the basement. The two hellspawns would devise a plan to poison as much Halloween candy as possible the next time they would show up. With their hypnotic powers, they were able to convince the citizens of the nearby towns to buy their treats for the kids. Unbeknownst to them, they'll die upon consumption. There was little time for anyone to save the day, but that didn't stop the combined powers of Dan, Juvenile Batman, & Kylo Ren. Batman would combat the skeleton, using his warp-drive detonator to send him back to Hell, & Kylo Ren severed the head of the pumpkin Demon. In response to this, Akujin kept his word & banished Cadavra & Pumpkinhead to the fiery depths.
=== A Warning to the Man with the Gem-Speckled Hand ===
Akujin would finally return on July 22nd, 2018; Dan's birthday. He & God had noticed that Dan collected all six Infinity Stones & forged them into the Infinity Gauntlet. Realizing that Dan is now the 4th most powerful being in the Multiverse, Akujin commanded that Dan would take the upmost care of the gauntlet. After a few nice words, God returned to the Heavens as Akujin would have a few more words with Dan, reassuring that despite the fact that his power is now infinite, the world around him remains finite. Before returning to the darkness, the Emperor of Evil told Dan to enjoy life on Earth while it lasts, referring to him as his friend & fading away.
Physically, Akujin has not appeared since, but his dark presence is always looming over the Multiverse. A photograph taken of one his avatars in 2011 was used for Dan's third Cursed Image compilation in 2022.
== Personality ==
Akujin is the ultimate evil. He takes pleasure in whatever bad deed he can do. As the embodiment of all evil itself, he is intent on changing his alignment whenever the situation calls for it. Akujin can be sadistic, unforgiving, cruel, & an overall jerk, but can also be cold, calculating, fear-invoking, & manipulative. Being a type of cosmic horror, he tends not to actively involve himself with the issues of lesser beings. But when he does, he shows off a more sadistic side, toying with souls & preferring the brutality of bloodshed, as shown in his battles with Acoutor's clones; instead of just erasing them he made it personal by dueling them to the death.
Evil is everywhere & he must ensure that it stays that way. Without bad, there is too much good.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Godly Strength: Akujin has immeasurable strength. In terms of how strong his physical manifestations are, their power levels seem to vary from planetary threats (lifted & crushed a miniature copy of Jupiter in his hands), to high multiversal threats (superior to Lucifer in his prime). It is unknown how powerful his avatar was when he visited Dan completing the Infinity Gauntlet, but even this shadow of himself was vastly superior to the Infinity Stones.
Omnipresence: Akujin is everywhere. His dark presence looms over all creation & his avatars personally survey that which he wishes to see for himself. This would make his speed irrelevant when concerning how fast he is. His avatars' speeds are unknown.
Invulnerability: Akujin is impervious to all forms of harm. However, his avatars can still feel pain if he makes them that way.
Immortality: Akujin is immortal in every sense of the word. He does not age, he cannot be killed, & his existence alone ties all the realms together. Should a higher power ever kill him, he's taking the whole Multiverse down with him; the emperor goes down with his empire.
Regeneration: Akujin & his avatars can heal from any sort of injury, no matter how severe.
Skilled Swordsmanship: Akujin's avatars are typically savvy with any method of dueling. 
=== Special Powers ===
Omnipotence: Akujin is all-powerful in every sense of the word. He is an all-powerful being that even dwarfs the Infinity Gauntlet in terms of power. He can do pretty much whatever he wants; he can teleport, use telekinesis, create avatars of himself, use any form of magic, destroy celestial bodies of any size, create black holes, erase universes from existence, etc. He also has every ability of the Omnipresent Camera, as he is the one who created it.
* Beyond-Dimensional Existence/Higher Dimensional Manipulation: Being the concept of evil itself, which permeates all realms in the Multiverse, Akujin is likely above dimensionality altogether.
* Abstract Existence/Conceptual Manipulation: Akujin is the literal embodiment of evil. Should he ever cease to be, the concept of evil itself will no longer exist within the Terrachaoverse & the Multiverse it resides in. And because he is the idea of evil, he can enforce it wherever, whenever, & however he wants.
* Omniscience: Akujin knows all there is to know, though his avatars' scope of knowledge might be smaller.
* Reality Warping: In his presence, all cower in the name of Akujin. His power is so immense he can defy logic, disobey all natural laws, & do whatever it is that he wants to do.
* Void Manipulation: Akujin once existed within a formless void of emptiness, & he can use the power of this primordial void to erase things from existence.
* Dark Magic: His very being contains the source of dark magic, able to cast any spell ever written, including the Protected Belongings Spell, which is how he was able to fight Acoutor's clones without destroying Dan's house.
* Power Nullification: Akujin can make his enemies weaker with a passing thought. This is how he was able to make his avatars & Jake have fairer fights against Acoutor's clone army & how he was able to demote Acoutor to a Demigod. He can also implement this kind of power into his weapons, like the immortality-sapping Death Wand.
* Soul Manipulation: Akujin can steal, banish, & even erase one's soul; the first of which he did to Mickey in 2014 & the second he did to Cadavra Bones & Pumpkinhead.
* Creation: Akujin can create worlds, objects, & life, such as his creation of the Multiverse, the Death Wand, & some of the Kaisers.
** Avatar Creation: Akujin can create weaker versions of himself to interact with the physical world, as his true form would be far too big to fit in a single universe. His avatars are no mere shadows, however; they are as real as you or I, & he can erase them as easily as he can create them.
* Law Manipulation: Akujin can create, alter, & remove the natural laws of the universe.
* Fate Manipulation: Akujin knows how an event or one's life are supposed to go, weaving them together to tell the story of the universe.
== Equipment ==
Pentagram Medallion: When he appears as the Emperor of Evil, he is always seen wearing a silver medallion that has a five-pointed star with a green gem in the middle. This mystic necklace is the source of all the dark magic in the Multiverse, & each of his avatars has their own medallion, one of which claimed its purpose was to contain all the souls he had harvested. Do note that Akujin himself does not need the medallion to perform his dark magic, but his avatars do, as the prime medallion serves as a mystical beacon of power, fueling his avatars with all the spells they might need.
The Emperor's Sword: Akujin loves to wield a sword in combat, as he appreciates how gruesome it can be when used right as opposed to a fast-acting gun. The most infamous of these swords is a bronze sword with intricate markings on its blade & a set of spikes covering the hilt to protect his hand. Many Demons would model their weapons after this blade. This sword is enchanted with the ability to negate healing factors, though this was countered by Acoutor's clones through their own dark magic.
Katana: Another weapon the emperor likes to use is a long, wooden katana.
Anti-Shield: The emperor has sometimes been seen using a black & silver shield that looks like it wouldn't be able to block anything, but apparently it emanates invisible antimatter particles that cancel out attacks.
Death Wand (formerly): During the war on the Screaming Boy, the Emperor of Evil killed his many clones using a gray & yellow wand with a purple gem at the front. The Death Wand can channel spells through the gem & can erase people from existence at its full power, even killing other Gods by nullifying their immortality. It can also be used to enhance other weapons. However, the gem was broken during the war & was forever rendered unusable, though it's possible that Akujin could build a new wand to bestow upon his avatars if he wanted to.
== Weaknesses ==
Akujin is the most powerful being in the Terrachaoverse, whose power is only rivaled by God himself. Despite that, Akujin is still capable of showing weakness, but only if he wants to. When he fought against the Screaming Boys, he preferred a more simplistic approach to combat, fighting like a gladiator & using very little of his otherworldly powers. In summary, Akujin can only show weakness if he so chooses.
== Trivia ==
* Before he was put in the Terrachaoverse series, he was originally a being created by Satan who intended to turn all good into evil & was considered to be Lord Pothead's archenemy. Many videos were made with him that aren't canon anymore, some even centered around the Emperor temporarily controlling the universe with the Emerald of Control, the Gem of Knowledge, the Mineral of Wisdom, & the Crystals of Utter Power, which are oddly similar in concept to the Infinity Stones. Another video had him try to end the world on December 21st, 2012. The idea of him being a God from the beginning wouldn't be fully realized until 2013.
* Akujin's "name", or at least what he calls himself, is Japanese for "evil god".
* His shield was made from the base of an Xbox 360 Rock Band Drum Set. That same base was used for making Maniacman's horns & the drums were used by Drummer Man.
* His favorite song is "When You're Evil" by Voltaire.
* The closest we'll ever get to seeing Akujin's true form was how he appeared in the 2018 birthday special, as that form commanded a much more threatening presence than the others, as even an Infinity Gauntlet wielding Dan was unsettled when he appeared.
