> - Frewil

Frewil the Wrathful is the first ever entity made by Gregory using the Celestial Brush of Creation. He was a former friend of Gregory's that turned evil due to being evil at heart thanks to possessing the wrathful hatred of the Grimdark. He would later be sealed away by his creator only to come back by choosing Kako as his vessel and would become the leader of the Grimdark Brotherhood; being the main antagonist of Wowlife in general and his sin being Wrath, evident by his name. He specialises in brute strength.

## **Appearance**

Frewil has a very muscular build; which is something he can change at will (an example shown when comparing his normal render and his character select render). His usual build is always muscular though. He is entirely pitch black due to being made of ink; with the only different colours he has being crazy looking yellow eyes that glow and his uniquely coloured grey outlines. Parts of his body acts like a lava lamp; with small parts separating from his body only to regenerate back. Which goes at a constant loop.

His main features are his lion-esque appearance; with his mane around his head and having a cat-like face. He also has sharp claws and a massive jaw. Which shows razor sharp fangs that can go from small to huge due to being a shapeshifter. The only feature missing for his feline appearance is a nose and a tail.

Being based around a yakuza oyabun (boss), his main attire is a simple open tuxedo with no pockets and a giant 7 inscribed on the back. With the latter appearing once he started the grimdark brotherhood. Upon his creation, he was merely naked but due to being inspired by a tuxedo found in a clothing store window display, he copies the look of it and never took it off since. There are times where Frewil gets serious and removes his tuxedo to reveal yellow glowing tattoos on his back that depict a oni mask, which can be symbolised towards his sinful anger and the fact that he shows no mercy.

On rare occasions, Kako's head can be seen inside his mouth. Her glasses are missing due to losing them and there are black tendrils attached to her. He mostly shows her off to intimidate his opponents; especially considering how terrified she is in being used as a vessel.

## **Personality**

To a outsider, Frewil can be seen as a dangerous and malevolent monster. At times, he can be seen as a barbaric brute who seeks to drown the world into darkness by literally painting everything into black and corrupting people. He is noticeably filled with wrath to the point of destroying things and killing people around him; not caring about anything. This is mainly because of him having the Grimdark's hatred that influenced his creation.

When Frewil stops being Gregory's friend and betrays him, he noticeably becomes more expressive and, as his name implies, is filled with free will. He loves to show off and always flexes his muscles and always prefers to punch or claw his opponent's when in close range. Although being evil at heart and being extremely dangerous to the unseen eye, Frewil being free to do what he wants and being more expressive proved to be a very positive thing for his identity, which may be the reason why he has followers. When he forms the Grimdark Brotherhood, he notably becomes attached to each member, being a father figure to them all with Choconyx being a potential romantic interest to him. This is mainly because he is always trying to keep his image and his identity at a positive light towards his followers. With his usual behaviour towards them being very sarcastic and notably respectful. This shows that, despite being evil, he has a heart figuratively since he literally doesn't have one.

This shows that Frewil has two sides. A side where his rage builds up dangerously and he explodes into a powerful barbarian and the other side where he just wants to make friends but the world fears him for his actions and generally due to his appearance of looking like a menacing beast with glowing crazy eyes and having a large jaw with razor sharp teeth. Which explains why he acted the way he did when Gregory revealed that he was only created due to the young deepgill's trauma of the grimdark. He is very much a lawful evil character, in the sense that he can control his temper/bloodlust and is well-taught but he is very notably a villain who is only doing what he does out of understanding how the world views him. This makes him resemble that of a heel wrestler. A person who is evil at heart and acts like a villain but in reality, he is simply a guy who cares about making friends. Even going as far as to call Ace his "frenemy".

On a side note, Frewil has stated that he is colour blind. Seeing the world in a monochrome filter pretty much. So, there are times where he cannot describe things when attempting to talk about their colours. Which can be somewhat humorous

### **The Grimdark**

Once a demonic being, now turned into Frewil's main ability that he uses. The ability is implied to be the Grimdark's hatred for the Guardians manifested after his "demise". Due to having Kako within him, who still has the Grimdark's abilities deep within her, Frewil's powers became even stronger.

* **Power of Wrath:** Frewil's sin that relates to one of the seven deadly sins. This power was always a thing for Frewil, even before he formed the brotherhood. Since it is closely related to the Grimdark's previously mentioned hatred. The more angry he gets and the more hatred he builds up, the stronger he becomes. This ability tends to be his best but also his flaw. Best because he gets stronger and flawed because he becomes more berserk and mindless. With the latter happening to his alternate counterpart in Tangerine's dimension. He choses to keep his rage down in normal situations outside of combat.

* **Grimdark Virus:** A virus that Frewil can give to those that he implants portions of his essences into that he can regenerate later. This kills the victim, turning their hue of colours into black and white. If Frewil wanted to, he can corrupt their corpses to turn them into his demonic slaves, making them reobtain their hue of colours but their hair turns into a more darker colour and they gain pitch black sclera instead of white. He does this to half of Grace's soul (which resulted in the birth of Mari) and all of the other grimdark brotherhood members. The reason why Frewil didn't immediately corrupt Grace is because of the alterrarge. Which, yes, did try to prevent it from spreading but it was too powerful that it only made Grace go through a more slower corruption process.

### **Ascension: Art of a Raging Lion**

Frewil's fighting style where he gets more muscular. He focuses on using brute strength and using pretty much anything he can pick up as a weapon; such as rocks, signs, dropped weapons, etc. The style also focuses on taking hits, meaning he can take a beating in exchange for his slow speed.

* **Almighty Defense:** Frewil goes into a defensive stance where he essentially takes hits and negates it's damage. When hit, he can optionally move out of harm to escape, since he cannot attack during this stance.
* **Surrounding Weapons:** Besides grabbing his opponents to bash them onto the ground or towards a wall, Frewil uses his brute strength and surroundings to his advantage. Things such as a rock on the ground, a stop sign found in a park, a motorcycle parked in a parking lot, doesn't matter. He uses ANYTHING as a weapon. In fact, he is so strong that he can pick up the ground beneath him and rupture it, causing a wave of the earth to erupt in front of him.
* **The 5th of Neverending Anger:** Frewil removes his tuxedo and glides forwards to grab his opponent. Once grabbed, he unleashes his anger and relentlessly beats them up with several punches and kicks. He then finishes it by proceeding to lift a chunk of the earth that the opponent was on out of the ground and throwing it upwards. As the chunk descends towards him, he delivers a powerful uppercut to completely decimate the opponent that was on the chunk. This is his most deadly attack and is notably the attack that weakened Boss to his inevitable death.

### **Replication**

Frewil can freely clone himself but this sacrifices 10% of his essence. If the clones are defeated, the essence returns back to the original Frewil. They retain the strength of himself but they get destroyed immediately if hit with a direct attack. If anything, he uses them as a fake-out due to his trickster, yet very aggressive, fighting style.

## **Biography**

### **Backstory**

During the events where the guardians disbanded to do their own things to sharpen their skills, Gregory started to feel lonely due to not making friends. He came up with the idea to draw a permanent drawing using the Celestial Brush of Creation to make into a friend. He tried several times but was unsuccessful.

During one night, Gregory had a nightmare of the Grimdark chasing him. Due to it traumatising him thanks to being a child, this affected how he drew his new attempt. He ended up drawing this terrifying sketch of the monster he saw in his nightmare and it successfully worked. Resulting in the birth of Frewil. At first, Frewil was confused on why he was given life but became Gregory's friend regardless and all was well. During this time, he would discover his shapeshifting abilities.

When the guardians reunited after several years and after the events where they go back to the Tower of Despair to clear out all remaining Grimdark spawns, Frewil was quick to notice Gregory's sudden fear towards him. After he confronts his creator, Gregory, who was with Grace at the time, he asked him why he is acting so scared to him. Thanks to Grace reading Gregory's mind via her alterrarge, she was able to translate what Gregory says; confirming to him and even Grace that the sketch that gave him life was the result of a nightmare he had of the monster that inspired how Frewil looks.

Knowing this, Frewil decides that he doesn't want to be a hero anymore and attacks Grace, injecting the Grimdark Virus in her. He enjoys this sudden attack after he ran off. Blair was the one to get the Grimdark out of Grace via magic but this would sacrifice half of her soul; meaning it is also sacrificing half of her alterrarge. Frewil steals that corrupted half of Grace's soul and would later implant it into a Mining Marionette; resulting in the birth of Mari.

Mari became Frewil's alley during the Calamity War, which started after Frewil's attack on Grace ages ago on the 5th of November. Many have fell during it, including two of the guardians due to Frewil and Mari. Those being Grace and Boss.

After mourning over the death of his relatives, Ace would go out to fight Frewil directly with the help of Gregory. Frewil was overwhelmed by the Demigod hero so he uses a freezing attack that teleports Ace away from him too as a last ditch effort since Gregory appears to seal him away with the same weapon that gave him birth, the Celestial Brush of Creation. Before Frewil could be sealed away, he teleports Gregory away and sends him to another dimension so that he would never see his creator ever again. After that, he was sealed away into a gem that Gregory created. Cranium witnesses the entire fight and takes the Gem used to seal Frewil away to be watched over; hoping he doesn't return. The person that would watch over him would be the Royal Scientist, Kako Terrifang.

Frewil does return one day because the seal wasn't shut but he is severely weakened. Despite this, he was able to kill one of the guardians, Blair. This was also the day that he was pursued by Grim Susie. He easily made quick work of her and before she dies, she then says that she will be reincarnated to kill him. Before Frewil could do anything, he was then sealed back into the Gem by Kako by simply using the Celestial Brush of Creation. Showing that Kako needs to keep the seal stable every few years, otherwise he will come back.

About 18 years later at the Royal Scientist Kako's laboratory, Frewil would be unleashed back onto the earth once again due to Kako's co-workers forgetting to use the brush to keep him sealed when Kako was getting ready to go out with her daughter. But Frewil's body was destroyed, so he decides to take Kako's body as a vessel to recreate himself again. And it worked surprisingly, since Kako, despite being the reformed form of him, still had a semblance of the Grimdark within her.

Frewil would then later recruit members of his newly established "Grimdark Brotherhood". With each member, including himself, representing the seven deadly sins. He assigns them to do their tasks. Kicking off the events of Wowlife's story.

## **Relationships**

### **Gregory**

Gregory is Frewil's creator. He was happy that he created him. Since Gregory is a child and Frewil was literally made due to trauma of a nightmare he had, Gregory was terrified of him at first but he wanted to be his friend since that was his purpose after all. However, him confronting Frewil during Ace's fight with the pitch-black beast shows that he is brave to fight him. Despite this, Gregory sees Frewil as his achievement due to being his first ever entity made with his Celestial Brush of Creation. Frewil notes several times that his suit is a bare reminder on what life was like when he was friends with his creator, as he gained it by copying a suit from a shop during a trip. This shows that he has some respect to his creator. Though Frewil is aware of his true purpose at the time, the brotherhood became a reminder of why he was created. As a result, he does wish to purge his sins of being evil but there are times where he states that he cannot go back, leading him to being very depressed deep down.

### **The Other Guardians**

Frewil vowed to destroy the Guardians due to them getting in the way of his goal and purely being his enemies. He notably gave Grace the grimdark virus and would later her father in cold blood. This was mainly because he didn't know that he was made to be Gregory's friend. Leading him to misunderstand Gregory when he said that he was created due to trauma of a nightmare he had of the grimdark.

### **Ace Shoryu**

Ace became Frewil's eternally sworn enemy due to his actions in the calamity war. Ace obviously despised Frewil and stated that he will show him justice. Though some can say that their relationship nowadays stems from vengeance, in reality, it's just because they both see each other as worthy opponents since they both enjoying fighting at their fullest, showing that they are more akin to frenemies than being sworn enemies.

### **Kakolyn Terrifang**

Frewil chose Kako as his vessel due to coincidentally being the grimdark reformed during the guardian era. He is merely using her and doesn't feel any sympathy towards her despite her constantly begging when she is rarely seen from Frewil's mouth. He is aware Kako is the reformed Grimdark thanks to Monkey AC130 explaining it to him. Though in reality this was false. As Kako was created to seal the Grimdark within her. As it was the only way to stop them at the time.

### **Helga Terrifang**

Frewil briefly met Helga when he returns after his seal was released. He was factually going to choose her as his vessel but Kako got in the way. Although Frewil doesn't care much for Helga at first, Helga herself despises Frewil beyond belief due to taking her mother away from her. Due to being known for his wrath, he attempted to convince Helga to embrace her anger. Despite her being beyond angry over him stealing her mother, Helga tries to remain calm and to not lose herself to her anger.

### **The Grimdark Brotherhood**

Frewil's relationship with the brotherhood he formed is very fond. Mari being the earliest example and there's also his hinted romantic relationship with Choconyx. Despite entirely doing evil things, he sees them all as friends. He even has a fondness towards Monkey AC130 despite him not feeling the same way to him or the others back.

### **The Grimdark**

Although Frewil made the assumption that his hatred and wrath was from the Grimdark himself, he was far from the truth. Frewil was created because of Gregory's trauma from a nightmare he had of the Grimdark and was purely intended to be Gregory's friend during the time when the guardians split apart and because of this, plus to differentiate him from the Grimdark himself, Frewil isn't completely heartless and he actually cares about his allies but is still very much a villain to society. Later down the line, Frewil is unaware that the Grimdark is using him to achieve his goal of regaining his strength that was lost after his faithful fight against the guardians years ago. This started when Frewil absorbed Kako within him. As such, Frewil doesn't show much respect for the heartless dragon god, nor that he even thinks of giving him that respect besides naming the brotherhood after him. If anything, Frewil would of just called his team "The Brotherhood". To put it simply: Frewil, being a evil character at heart, sees the Grimdark as the more major threat to all of Wowtopia than himself.

## **Trivia**

* Frewil's name is a pun on the phrase "Free will". Which relates to his chosen actions throughout. The rest of his name, The Wrathful, although being more of a nickname, obviously relates to his sin that he is well known for committing.
* Frewil, or rather the concept of the Grimdark, was originally just a ability Kako would use instead of being a separate being that is Gaia's sworn enemy. This was during Con Air's Level 2 college project. So what you’re seeing here is Kako using the Grimdark to form armour to protect her. As time progressed, the Grimdark became a being who is a major threat in the Guardian era. During one previous concept however, he was formerly called Darkness. The original design shows Kako using the Grimdark as actual armour instead of Frewil’s normal tuxedo and Kako was more exposed near her right side instead of mainly being seen in Frewil’s mouth sometimes. It’s also less lion-like and more like an actual demon. Finally, it has red parts instead of mainly just being black and grey.
* His likes consists of:
	+ Anything Black
	+ Flexing his muscles
	+ His relationship with the grimdark brotherhood
	+ Working out
	+ Sports
	+ His rivalry with Ace
* His dislikes consists of:
	+ His inner rage
	+ The Grimdark
* Coincidentally, he shares the same birth month as Kakolyn Terrifang. This is mainly because he was made the day after Kako was created.
* Frewil has a couple of inspirations. The first is Wilfre's Shadow Form from the game series, Drawn to Life. With how both of their names are after the phrase "free will" and how they are both pitch black with grey outlines. Another inspiration is Venom from Marvel Comics. With how he acts like a symbiote, using Kako as his vessel and being able to morph his body.
	+ Frewil's design is also notably based on the Rolling Stones song, Paint it Black. With how his goal is to drown the world into darkness. In other words, he wants to paint the whole world black. Plus, if there is a scenario where the other grimdark brotherhood members die, he will notably feel grief over his loss. Especially in Choconyx's case since the two are somewhat romantically involved. This refers to the song being about grief, loss and death.
	+ He is also very much based on a heel wrestler. Or more preferably, a misunderstood evil character who doesn't really pose that much of a threat to the whole universe. One of these examples being Doctor Eggman from the Sonic Series.
* He somewhat resembles Ganondorf from the Legend of Zelda series. That being his connection to the Grimdark like Ganondorf having a connection to Demise. However, Frewil's wrath is only similar to the Grimdark, instead of literally being a reincarnation of him. There were plans for Frewil to be just that, the Grimdark's reincarnation. But this was changed.
* Due to Mirai's story in the altered timeline, where she took the role of Gregory during the guardian era, Frewil doesn't exist in that timeline because Mirai went back to Aqua during the guardian's victory against the Grimdark, during the celebration party. Whereas Frewil was created by Gregory during the time where the guardians disbanded for several years.
* His strongest attack, The 5th of Neverending Anger, has double references.
	+ The first is a Raging Demon, or Shun Goku Satsu, from the Street Fighter series. As it is a deadly grab attack and was used to fatally injure a important character in the lore of their respective stories; with Boss dying to this attack instead of somehow surviving it like Gouken surviving the Raging Demon by Akuma. Frewil suited this due to it being commonly referred to as a "Raging Demon", referring to him being a wrathful semi-demonic monster.
	+ The second is a pun on the commonly spoken phrase said on Guy Fawkes Night. Which is "Remember remember, the 5th of November". Frewil also notably says "Remember Remember..." before executing the attack. The reason why it references this is because the 5th of November is the day and month the Calamity War started and therefore, is the same day that Boss was killed by this attack.
* Although not being a main hero, Frewil is still among one of the favourite characters Con Air loves. This is due to his unique design of having grey outlines. Plus his bulky body, personality traits and lava lamp-esque aesthetic.
* Originally, Frewil would of been a former guardian who betrays the other guardians. This was changed to him just being a creation made by Gregory because he wanted a friend after he disbanded with the guardians. This change could be seen as a reference to Doodblebob from SpongeBob SquarePants. Both being creations of gullible childlike characters using stationery that end up as evil later on.
