Bane (Demon Lord)

==Summary==
Bane is the main protagonist of the Demon Lord Chronicles. Transformed into a mortal god and raised by the dark god Arkonen the Black Lord in the Underworld, he was set loose upon the Overworld in a ploy to free Arkonen from his imprisonment. Upon freeing Arkonen, he was betrayed and left for dead, though he was saved by the healer Mirra. Upon regaining his strength and realizing his love for Mirra, Bane trapped Arkonen in the Underworld once more. However, he was discovered to be Tar-Merin by the God Kayos, meaning he was unable to be corrupted by the dark power, and thus a potent force for good in a world where Light Gods had no means of fighting against Dark Gods, and Bane agreed to help Kayos save his daughter who had been imprisoned by another Dark God.

</tabber>
Attack Potency: City Level (Capable of clearing vast stretches of cloud cover in an instant with his black flames, fought Arkonen whose presence in the Overworld summoned clouds thick enough to completely block out the sun across an entire country within a few minutes, physically fought Dark Gods superior to Arkonen, reformed a completely destroyed city in a few moments), Unknown via Reality Warping (Casually changed day to night, though due to verse cosmology it is unknown it is unclear whether he actually altered a sun like our own), can ignore durability with several of his powers
Speed: At least Superhuman (Stated to be far superior physically to even the strongest mortal soldier)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: At least City level
Durability: Likely City level physically (Can withstand his own power), at least City level with forcefields (has blocked attacks from comparable opponents without harm)
Stamina: Extremely High (Was able to battle a god of comparable power for several hours without rest)
Range: Extended Melee Range with weapons, Tens of Kilometers via dark power and matter manipulation, Unknown via reality warping
Standard Equipment: None, though tends to create swords during battles but throws them away after.
Intelligence: High (He is quite strategic in battle, often using time manipulation to avoid or land hits, and setting traps for enemies in the middle of combat)
Weaknesses: Normal human weaknesses. If using his inborn God powers without the use of the Dark Power, he requires either contact or several minutes of concentration for more extensive use of his powers. His sealing requires his target to already be where they are to be sealed and also takes a few minutes to set the wards (although he does not need to create and finish them in one go)
Feats:
*Without his full power, razed a large fortress to the ground.
*Annihilated entire armies of vampires, trolls, and goblins within seconds.
*Caused a minor earthquake when about to move a mountain.
*Cleared vast stretches of cloud cover.
*Multi-tasks quite well, being able to use several of his different powers simultaneously on different things while in the middle of combat.
*Has defeated numerous other dark gods of comparable power.
*Changed day to night with a thought.
*Restored an entire city after it had been destroyed.
*Summoned a small army of demons.
*Resisted having his personal time reversed by several aeons, although it left him extremely weakened.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Move: The godly ability to Move is effectively teleportation. Bane is capable of teleporting himself anywhere he has been before or can sense. This teleportation is also interversal travel, capable of shifting between Earth, Heaven, and Hell with ease.
*Ward Creation: Bane is capable of raising wards that can bar interversal travel from gods, demons, and dark spirits.
*God Sight: Bane is able to see souls, even without any of his other senses. He can also tell the level of purity/corruption in the soul in the form of a colour spectrum, with evil souls appearing red with black flickers, and good souls appearing pale blue. This sight has an immense range, being capable of perceiving millions of souls throughout an entire city at once.
*Eyes: Bane can create "Eyes" at any location or being he knows, allowing him to see them and what is happening around them.
*Curses: Bane is capable of cursing others with geasses, capable of a wide variety of effects, ranging from making the victim unable to drink alcohol, to controlling their minds. This requires him to be within several meters of the victim to curse them.
**The Rune of Averakon: A notable use of a geass, the Rune of Averakon makes the victim unable to contemplate any form of crime, ranging from theft to assault. Should the victim begin to contemplate a crime, their mind will immediately go blank.
*Transmutation/Elemental Manipulation: Bane is capable of controlling and transforming elements into each other. This includes both chemical elements such as phosphorus and gold, and also the classical greek elements, such as when he forced a ghoul's flesh to transform into fire, incinerating it.
*Rock-Walking: Bane is capable of becoming intangible. However, becoming non-corporeal requires a vast amount of power to fuel it and Bane cannot gather power while incorporeal, so he can only use it for a few minutes.
*Eir-Gath Creation: Eir-gath (God forms) are constructs that Bane can pull from "the space between dreams and reality". He normally uses this ability to create extremely durable swords for battle.
*Dark Fire: Bane can wield dark fire, a flame fueled by dark power. It is far hotter and more flammable than normal fire and has caused men to explode on contact from the sheer amount of heat in their body. This fire also allows him to attack incorporeal beings such as air and fire demons, and also shape these flames into incredibly durable shields to defend himself with.
*Biological manipulation: Bane can manipulate the biology of himself and others to a degree. The most notable use of this ability was when he caused horns to grow from a man's head as punishment. However, its offensive power is unknown.
Note: This character is incredibly prone to Plot-Induced Stupidity. Bane, who can physically fight beings who can cut through solid metal with casual attacks and shrug off being covered in magma, has been knocked into a coma by a stone thrown by an average villager. He required several minutes of intense concentration to repair a city with matter manipulation, yet was able to possibly move celestial bodies with a gesture while half-asleep. As such, this profile has been made using his strongest showings.
