Vengan

== General ==
Vengan-Urg was a maniacal psychopath prince of a dead kingdom that had little regard for invertebrate lives.
== Appearance ==
A rotund body that is dominated by metal and void on his left side and more biological and troupe-like side on his right side. Possesses a near infinite extendable neck.
== Origin ==
Born in Guham and heir to the throne of the Solan-Urg Dynasty as the child of Helgan and Helgar and great-great-great-great-grandchild of Asultum-Urg, Vengan endured heavy psychological training and killed off his siblings for tradition at a young age. He watched gladiator fights where none would survive, he saw the many wrongdoings of the kingdom he was the prince of. He had built up trauma from his own kin for their cruel practices and one day ambushed his own family, slaying them swiftly. He left to venture in the wastelands of Gran-Nest after the incident to come to terms with his betrayal. Due to the royal blood of Guham being a sort of gateway for Rundwyre to possess people, Vengan also let it into his head by killing his kin. The guhamian potatoes disbanded and every single one died eventually without guidance. Vengan was left without a tribe. 
He eventually found some random bug who claimed to be a Wyrm and trained under him for a good chunk of his life, never finding out that the “wyrm”s horns were made of junk and the bug was an asylum escapee. Eventually realizing Vengan had a unique biology, the “wyrm” decided to experiment on him on many occasions. Vengan eventually killed him with a rock, realizing his misdeeds. 
Vengan travelled to Armattia where he met Olgur, a bug as traumatized as him thanks to the NACE event and the two became friends quickly. This wouldn't last long however as Vengan would come to realize Olgur was way too violent and manipulative for him and they parted ways.
Vengan eventually discovered the Atrantian Sea. There he found a Higher Being, Kaarfrilex. They made an exchange that deducted Kaarfrilex would rid Vengan’s mind of Rundwyre (who was becoming increasingly annoying) in exchange for Vengan's future firstborn child becoming Kaarfrilex’s vessel. However, Kaarfrilex would fail in completely erasing Rundwyre, only making Vengan forget about him and certain chunks of his past - including his species, his heritage, and his various murders.
== Storyline ==
=== Husk Arc ===
With newfound memory loss, Vengan ventured into Hallownest looking for purpose. There, he was greeted by Code and The Husks. He was infected willingly and became beastmaster of the Husks - taming the Infectodile. He also started calling Iggy (the second person ever he saw in Hallownest - who was sent to spy on the Husks at the time) his "brother" for undecipherable reasons - most probably viewing him as the sibling he never had the chance to know. In the Eternal Siege he fought against the Refuge and was injured beyond reasonable repair thanks to Krest, Swift, and Nover. He escaped their clutches and travelled to the Troupe's tent to join them in desperation. His wounds were healed along with his infection when his initiation ritual was complete. 
=== Troupe Arc ===
Now under the banner of the Troupe, Vengan endured hijinks including trying to assassinate Nover, blaming the assassination attempt on Lego, bribing Flukebileus to vouch for him and blame Lego, buying 100 of Grothnar's Grimmchildren, working for Xenosia to get intel on Great Beings, catching and re-containing a Great Being (Charybdis), getting a fluke parasite called the Ragged Thing inside his stomach because of his sewage addiction and worshipping the Flukefactorem for a while, meeting the Flukefactorem alongside Vashur and getting mild amnesia, trying to assassinate Nover again, almost becoming a meat-puppet for Molten, marrying a rock with googly eyes, working with Molten, having a divorce with previously mentioned rock, aiding the husks during the Massacre of the Crossroads, trying to kill and/or piss off Molten using Swift, getting captured by a creepy cult called the Sangui Moths and missing the entirety of Starfall, killing every member of the Sangui Moths, creating overpowered macguffins such as the Crimson Dawn, and becoming wary of Rundwyre reawakening inside his head. During his shenanigans with the troupe, he encountered Hiro possessed by Apolafsi and spoke to him on a regular basis, making him leak valuable info and sharing it with the Troupe. He also made Rundwyre give him powers through tricking it. He also met Neyo and they became weird "friends" through cooking.
=== Freedom Arc ===
Eventually, growing tired of the Troupe's chaotic nature and seeing an opportunity for escape once Scarlet (the at-the-time Mistress of the Troupe) was trapped by Apolafsi, he had Triad rid the ember off of his body with a ritual. Since the ember was the only thing keeping him alive due to the wounds he endured during the Eternal Siege, Vengan started to fade away (basically dying but its weird because of his biology) in the middle of the ritual, but saved himself using metal pieces acquired from Molten. Some ember still remained inside him allowing him to use limited pyromancy though he was connected to the Troupe very loosely after that.
He experimented on himself using void and magipetra, and created various powerful macguffins. He also created Gran-nest's first artificial shade - and Thanks to Navy/Blue's assistance, he also created the first artificial Shade-fox, Nema. He founded the Silk Conglomerate (which would eventually merge with the Molten Legion) and found the Black Spire. He created a lab, deep underground in the Refuge's housing where he experimented on corpses, tried giving life to his unborn children, and attempted reviving his legendary ancestor Asultum-Urg using Brine. He became a chaotic wildcard that was a double-agent for almost every faction. Eventually he joined the Smiler Hunter Association W (SHAW) of the Refuge properly thanks to his friend Neyo - mostly because he was annoyed that Apolafsi outsmarted him at one point and marked him (his mark would be removed by Riot after Vengan fought Andra using a primitive version of Nema during the Smiling War).
=== Downfall Arc ===
Once Iggy - the bug he considered to be his sibling and the leader of SHAW at the time - perished and leadership of SHAW was given to Riot, Vengan began throwing weird tantrums and created elaborate plots to either have Apolafsi dead or have Hallownest hate Xenosia (Xenosia's president was Nover at the time and he was still pissed that he almost killed him). He'd fight on the side of Apolafsi's marked Husks during a Husk-Refuge war in the Smiling Wars and threaten to kill Nover - but he'd eventually make peace with him. Eventually Apolafsi also found out that Vengan had Rundwyre inside his head and artificially created a vessel for Rundwyre to possess (Wair). This plan only came to fruition in Vengan's death.
Through Rundwyre, Vengan re-experienced his past trauma and was horrified of his actions. Remembering the vow he had made to Kaarfrilex all those years ago, he fertilized his seed using brine. Around the time he had come to terms with his past and had dedicated himself to be a better, kinder creature; Riot had ordered the mercenary Andra to capture Vengan because of his suspicious acts. However, Andra had either misunderstood the orders or Riot had given the wrong command, as once Andra met Vengan, she stabbed his head with her spear, killing him swiftly - while also freeing Nema from Vengan's body and Rundwyre from Vengan's head and letting it possess Apolafsi's vessel. Vengan's legacy is continued through Velon and his laboratory quest held by Molten, Hemmingsworth, and Neyo. He might be dead but his influence and the consequences of his actions are still alive.
His will can be found here.
== Personality ==
"Eccentric."
== Abilities ==
-Extention of Neck - Extends his neck thanks to his Potato lineage.
-Teleportation - Only when peer pressured by another person, Vengan can teleport to places he has been to.
-Pyrokinesis - Vengan can manipulate and conjure fire using Ember. Since he is of Guhamian origin, he is also skilled in it.
-Increasing of internal and external temperatures - it was never used in RP, however.
-Nema - Vengan's artificial magipetra-infested shade-fox Nema can lash out from his metallic eye to attack the opponent.
-Weak Void Manipulation - Thanks to his semi-merging with void, Vengan can very weakly manipulate void.
-Deal Sealing - After "convincing" Rundwyre, Vengan temporarily gained the ability to seal deals using essence and some form of voodoo. If a deal is made and the hand is shaken, the deal can be sealed. If any party does something that goes against the deal, their life essence is drained and they eventually die.
-Item Duplication - A seal of binding is placed on whatever item Vengan consumed so if it is forcefully taken out of his "stomach" forcefully the person who took it wont be able to access the item. This power was retconned later though.
-Can make anyone in the vicinity uncomfortable.
Despite all of these powers, Vengan's most powerful ability was his tongue.
== Bonds ==
Considers Neyo a great ally and best friend, Iggy the sibling he never had, leeches off of Molten and Molten leeches off of him, the Troupe as kind but chaotic old friends, every government leader as a dumbass, Illyria and Navy as a defenceless child, Apolafsi as an annoying but menacing threat, everyone else as either peons or threats.
== Trivia ==
HEAVILY allergic to lifeblood and can get high/drunk to literal sewage. Also literally a potato.
