## **Origin**

Vigor Tatkraft was born in an unloving family. His parents had high expectations of him. Whereas Vigor was just plainly forced to do every house hold duty as early as the age of 4. Vigor quickly mustered up courage, alongside the belief in authoritarianism upon this household. By the age of 9, Vigor escaped his own household when his parents were out for the night. Vigor also brought his friend named Marko along in order to scheme scams to make profits, which they were surprisingly good at. Their scams often included betraying people, wherein Marko poses as a vendor and Vigor as a scrawny poor kid, playing with people's empathy. Marko buys food to pose as a vendor, then Vigor asks for other's help and a favor to buy him some food from Marko, but then in reality Marko just collects the money and pretends to sell portions of food to Vigor. Vigor symbolized these scams as the work of a snake, the symbolism of betrayal in his religious belief and gave himself the name of "Python." However they were then caught and Marko was the only one arrested, Vigor escaped arrest and betrayed Marko. After a long rant, Vigor's appearance started to deteriorate. His arms turned scaly, teeth pronged and eyes wider, similar to that of a snake.

Vigor eventually ran away from society, as he feared he looked too ugly to be recognized as human, and because, he doesn't believe in change and resents his actions. While he was living in the streets, he was eventually seen by Adolf and Omphious, thus, hired him for a publicity stunt to boost their reputation. Adolf and Omphious eventually gave Vigor a job offer as a train conductor, he accepts. Vigor was then gradually and slowly given assignments that became more gruesome and evil, which manifested his fighting spirit and moral ambiguity. However, despite these violent assignments, he gave his victims a quick death and sometimes continuously gave them opportunities to escape. Vigor's python fighting spirit would eventually manifest as he was given Biokinesis by Omphious and Adolf. From this point, Vigor swore an oath to himself to care for the imprisoned and surrendered, believing in their goodness and sainthood.

## **Appearance**

Vigor has an athletic body. **He wears a gray robe to hide himself and has snakes for arms.** His enlarged **Supreme Python Form** does not resemble a python, but it resembles a modified snake with different contrasting patterned layers covered in eyes and rocky scales.

### **Debut**

In Frighter Train, Vigor secretes himself in his robe, appearing as an anonymous fighter. As Erwin gets onto the train and plants an explosive, Vigor retaliates by revealing himself and lashing out his snakes to repel him away. After a short brawl, he is eventually revealed and recognized as the notorious slithering python.

## **Personality**

Vigor Tatkraft used to be a naive and fearless young boy. Because of his innocence, he was easily manipulated, and this turned him morally ambiguous. Vigor is disgusted by his past and other's bad actions, believing that no one else deserves to be bad other than him. He tends to be a bad person on the outside, but upholds a caring side inside of him, knowing and still acknowledging morality and human emotions. Vigor is haunted by these morals and struggles to fight and stand up for himself, which fuels his cowardice towards intervention with enemies. When it comes to prisoners or slaves he has control over, he cares for them and genuinely raises and preaches morals toward them. Sometimes even helping them escape given the right circumstance and sympathy.

## **Abilities and Skills**

### **Physical Prowess and Skills**

Vigor is an agile fighter. His snake arms are very durable and resilient. The light weight and deceptive illusion of size of Vigor give him an agility in terms of size improvisation and deception. The tough scales of his snakes make them hard to penetrate or slice off, needing to firstly break their outer crusts, pierce their scales, or just slice off the forearm of Vigor. He can be considered undead or a zombie, however, he can still die from blood loss and heavily relies on food, water and oxygen.

**Proficient Durability -** Vigor's light body and flexible bones allow Vigor to make quick movements and fast attacks or dodges.

**Snake Arms and Poison Mastery -** Instead of having two arms, Vigor has snakes for arms. These snakes can extend, impose poison and utilize any poison that can possibly circulate in Vigor's body. These can also help restrain around desired objects, making it possible for quick travel or stunning.

**Secondary Form -** Vigor can biologically modify his physical appearance. He is able to warp with it and turn it into a large monstrous worm, named ***Supreme Python.*** This form is able to penetrate the ground, emit geysers of lasers and eat people. It can provide protection for Vigor and other occupants. It also has scales and armor that can protect it from damage. However, **it is weak toward explosions, pierce attacks and fire.**

### **Kinetic Arts Techniques**

**Purple Stinger -** Vigor lashes a snake toward his opponent. The snake should bite and inject severe but non lethal poison in their opponent

**Orange Stinger -** Similar to Purple Stinger, however, it injects a lethal chemical rather than a severe one

**Restrainer Stinger -** Vigor lashes a snake or two toward his enemies to restrain and prevent them from moving

**Twister -** Vigor throws his opponent away, but before that, he spins around to stun them

**Grabber -** Vigor restrains his opponent using two snakes and pulls them toward him

**End Siege -** Vigor awakens his secondary form

## **Death**

As the giant worm continues to reap through the grounds and launch impending attacks, lashes out snakes and fires lasers as it tears down the battlefield, the Descendants of Calamity struggle to end the battle and destroy the worm. Panzer improvises with a plan that utilizes mercury fulminate. But firstly, Erwin is ordered to flash fire and cause distractions as Nikolas formulates the compound. Wassersaule continues to spray geysers towards the worm, however, Wassersaule runs out of charge and is hit by an explosion from the laser, knocking him out. Erwin continues to flush out the worm and damage vital parts of it. Erwin is eventually flung off after an internal explosion and attacked by **Purple Stinger.** Nikolas finishes the compound and injects it into Panzer's cone, turning Panzer's cone into a missile. Panzer launches the first projectile, **Ballistic Geode,** to the Worm's rear body, igniting the fuselage of the train, starting a fire. Erwin supports from a long range by firing fireballs, before using all his energy and collapsing. Nikolas supports with **Compression Blasts** to pierce the armor of the worm, long before being forced to retreat after being separated with Panzer from a laser.

Panzer himself handles the worm as Erwin watches, Nikolas formulates more fulminated mercury. Panzer uses **Aerial Bomber** and significantly damages the Worm's core, providing an opening into the worm. Erwin enters the Worm's core and encounters slaves, alongside Frieda Muller, and Panzer orders him to protect them as they continue to harass the worm. As the worm digs into the ground, Panzer uses **Groundbreaking Invention** and swerves, penetrates and pierces the worm in half, separating the upper body from the core. As the worm resurfaces, the worm is now almost defeated, as the upper body disconnects from the core, separating it in half again. The core is now detached and immobilized, saving the slaves as Panzer baits the worm into a safer area, before using **Ballistic Geode** again as Nikolas hands him more fulminated mercury, then launching a powerful, explosive and deadly final blow onto the Worm's vulnerable main eye, exploding the interior and exterior, revealing Vigor Tatkraft, still alive and sane. **Orange Stinger** attacks Panzer, biting him in the wrist, before another attack, which bites his muscle, inflaming it and incapacitating Panzer. **Nikolas attacks with Concoction Mania, exploding Vigor Tatkraft and detaching him from the worm, launching him away to the place where the worm's tail is laying, without his snakes and with 3 missing limbs, Vigor Tatkraft bleeds to death as Nikolas watches.** The worm slowly reverts into a train, ending the disastrous battle as Erwin envies and resents Panzer's strength and endurance. Long before, Erwin hugs Frieda and reassures her safety, igniting their chemistry.
