Shadus

# Shadus Julius Augustus

Shadus is a character created by Bananapox and is the main antagonist of The Diamonds Universe. The exact origins of Shadus are unknown, with his story taking several years to refine to this point and Shadus taking several variations and is often considered the most complicated character here. His exact creation date is also unknown, but it is possibly around 2019 or 2020.

## Overview

Shadus is an Omnipotent Higher God originating from the Beginning of Everything (when all the Gods of every story were created - time doesn't function in this beginning so it explains why some gods can be considered timeless). Shadus is usually an evil and malicious being that can twist the very fabric of reality (and other realities) as he wishes. Shadus, although being a downright twisted being, usually is calm and does things very methodically. Shadus doesn't usually go out and hunt mortals, and if he did he would just mutilate them one by one (or all of them at once). Shadus's ultimate Goal is to unite with his brothers (who were also at the beginning of everything) and take over every single reality that has ever, already does, and will exist, but Shadus realizes that this goal is nearly impossible with the almost endless number of Gods he would have to go through for that to happen.

Shadus as a character has a timeline of design and story changes.

## Biography/Appearance

In the Beginning of Everything that has, that already, and will exist begins in a time in an incomprehensible amount of time ago, which can be seen as nearly infinite. And out of this Beginning of Everything was the creation of every single Entity beginning at the start of everything, and the Beginning of Everything distributed power and things amongst the entities and gods. Shadus (and his brothers) were among the incomprehensible number of gods that actually existed in the Beginning of Everything. Shadus was gifted with powers to crush everything, Shadus was gifted willpower (the power to defeat gods and gods higher than god) that could annihilate the very fabric of every reality known to godkind. Therefore, Shadus became Life, Death, and Cosmos. His Brothers, Angrey and Crackey were also gifted with immense amounts of willpower, just not as much as Shadus.

Shadus, in the beginning, was an eldritch incomprehensible and inconceivable being that to an eye that cannot go blind would seem as a Universe-Sized Cloud-Like collection of trillions of flashing colors, colors that flashed at the speed of light, and the entire thing was extremely bright, so bright that in the Beginning of Reality, in which it was mostly dark, Shadus lit the majority of it. The sound produced by this cloud was heard as a deafening boom of infinite roaring waves in the ocean, and a ear-shattering static could be heard too. With a God-Like eye, a bright glowing humanoid figure that seemed as it was made with pure light could barely be seen inside of the eldritch-cloud. Angrey and Crackey also had these forms, but less intense.

Shadus decided that these forms would be too far for the other gods that existed in the Beginning of Reality, so he decided for him and his brothers to make carbon-based forms so that they could travel in-between realities and interact with lesser gods without seeming as they would destroy everything in a second. And when Shadus made the form, the form seemed like a tall humanoid figure, with dark-green and light-green skin that varied depending on the part of the body. Shadus's head was deformed and elongated, and it seemed like a large spikey red hair came out his head (although it did not act like hair at all, but more like a paralyzed fire). Shadus had red eyes with long stick-like white pupils that glowed anytime and anyplace. Shadus had vast rows of extremely sharp teeth, but preferred to only display a few, the inside of Shadus's mouth usually was pitch black but could be seen as like the mouth of a demon. Shadus's form made it seem as he had gloves and boots on, but these gloves and boots were not removable. Shadus has a Skull permanently fused to his chest. His Brothers had forms similar to Shadus (Look at their wikis for their description).

And Shadus saw that the forms were good, and now Shadus decided to leave the Beginning of Reality so no conflict would begin in the Beginning of Reality, as Shadus wanted to let the lesser Gods live. So Shadus (and his brothers) named themselves "The Shadows", now, The Shadows set to leave to their own realities so that they could create and destroy as they pleased. And because the other Gods were scared of Shadus in the Beginning of Reality, they quickly wanted them out, which made Shadus angry at them and Shadus vowed to bring them revenge for not complying to their ideas.

Anyhow, Shadus came into his own reality and set off a Big Bang and let the events of the Universe play out. Shadus did many things, such as recreations of Biblical Stories (such as Adam and Eve, The Exodus out of Egypt etc.), the rest is Shadus meddling with the many empires that existed in civilization. Shadus usually came thrashing down to Earth whenever he appeared to the Mortals but calmed it down after a certain point. A point in which he granted Mortals such as Ivan, Derp and Clemson vast powers.

Shadus now rules over his Reality as he pleases and will enter other realities and watch or destroy as he pleases. The other gods he interacts with are usually way weaker than him and Shadus loves to exploit this. Shadus has the goal of Uniting with his Brothers and taking over every single Reality that has, that is, and will exist.

## Personality

Shadus is cruel, ruthless, and sometimes demented. The reason is because the Entity of Death that resides within him is usually stronger than the other entities (Life and Cosmos). Shadus does whatever he wants without regarding the expense of others and seek to actively destroy others who think they are above him.

Shadus, although being an absolute Tyrant and Eldritch Higher God beyond comprehension to even Gods that are higher than Omnipotent Gods, is actually quite respectful to mortals and will not seek to harm them (unless he wants too). This is because Shadus believes Mortals deserve far better than Gods, because Gods usually always got what they wanted, and Mortals had to fight, die, and be in constant trouble just to survive.

Shadus has a complete distain and hatred for other Gods besides himself, his brothers, and NX (KX). Shadus will actively seek out and kill other Gods and destroy their realities, keeping their eccense as a very trophy to Shadus. Shadus has no patience for any God and if a God decides to piss him off, Shadus, instead of keeping their eccense will absorb the eccense, gaining even more power and removing the God from existence.

## Original Interpretations

Shadus did not start out like this (as a character), he has had many changes.

His first appearance is in one of the old, lost comic journals, the story was set in Derp Fortress, and his original appearance was the "Iron Suit" (An Upgraded form of a technologically advanced battle suit), with The Argentime taking on a green-toned suit. The original design is lost.

His first design change is an upgraded version of The Argentime's "Iron Suit", with Argentime wearing a skull-mask over his face. This design gradually changed so the armor encompasses his entire body, the color is a more vibrant green, and some sort of fire appearing from his head.

His second design is basically Crackey's design, only looking a little crappier. He technically was a main hero, but not possessing the Godly Powers he does now.

His third change is not a design one, but a story one. In one of the comic journals (I think it is #16), towards the end of the story, "The Shadow" (His Original Name) reveals his Omnipotent Powers, saying "I can do whatever", showing us that he was only holding back against the villains. I am going to assume in this interpretation he was meant to be some sort of dimension-warping entity entering into the comic world and taking on the form of "The Shadow".

This omnipotence would be temporarily disabled in the next few changes. His fourth change was in The Diamonds Animated Series, in which originally "The Shadow's" color scheme was unknown until this point, where he would take on the infamous "Dark Green" and "Light Green" color scheme present today. While no major design changes were made besides The Shadow gaining white pupils (only sometimes visible), The Shadow was back to a normal superhero. At this point of the story, the lore is, that The Shadow took over The Argentime's body and replaced The Argentime as one of the main superheroes, while The Shadow was still able to convince The Clemson Tiger that he was indeed Kevin (The Argentime's True Name). It has not been decided yet if this is still canon.

His Fifth change is after The Diamonds Animated Series and the arrival of "Friday Night Funkin'" sprite making, utterly changing The Shadow's design permanently. At first his design was relatively the same, but overtime his design changed to make his hair spiker, finally gaining teeth, and when getting mad tearing the flesh from his mouth to make it seem like the flesh has a teeth shape. This design would continued to be used until the next change, with this design being integrated into Angrey's design.

His Sixth change comes around the time of the release of the "Friday Night Funkin' Sonic.Exe 2.0 Mod", with The Shadow's design changing somewhat. He now had different forms. His 1st form seemed like the normal Shadow, with The Shadow now having teeth and a black inner mouth. His 2nd form made his flesh rip from his mouth again, but now he loses the teeth, his skin gets yellower, his hair gets spiker, larger, and more orange in color, with a noticeable darker shade of red visible in the areas of Fire-hair closer to his head, his eyes become black and his pupils now red. His 3rd form made him much taller, bulkier, and his skin even more yellow. His hair was far more spiker, and had many colors such as dark-purple, dark-red, blue, and a blueish-green visible, his mouth was no longer black and all of the areas on the inside of his mouth were now visible, his eyes were no longer black but now red and his pupils white, with lines of dark-purple visible on his eyes, and now instead of the skull engraved on his chest having just eyes and a mouth, the eyes and mouth were gone but replaced with a giant-black "3" in the middle with a dark-purple "X" scar surrounding the skull. This design is obviously inspired by "Xenophanes" but isn't a direct copy.

His seventh change officially created the split between all 3 main Shadow designs, which created the characters "Shadus", "Angrey" and "Crackey". His seventh design (normal form) seemed normal, but his pupils were longer and thinner, his eyes were that of a enlarged human eye shape, and his hair now was less concentrated but looked like several huge spikes close together (hair design inspired by Lord X's internal form's quill shape). Shadus now had spike formations in random areas around his body as well. Around this time Shadus was back to a God, but not as powerful as current Shadus.

His eighth and final change is the design we have now, with Shadus being taller and lankier from the previous design, and Shadus now possessing his Omnipotence and everything abilities.

## Trivia

* Shadus is the Divine Interpretation and Embodiment of Life, Death and Cosmos
* Shadus counts as a Villian, as his acts are usually Villainous, even if most of his acts involve Creation.
* Shadus, although having a Pathological Hatred for other Gods, doesn't mind too much the company of the Abrahamic God and a few other Religious Gods.
* Shadus's favorite color is Green because to him Green is a mixture of Life and Death (Life because of Plants, Death because of Poison), therefore Shadus sees to himself as the ultimate owner of the color Green.
* Shadus believes Atheism has a Time and a Place and cannot truly be the Ultimate Decider of which is real or not, Shadus believes that Atheism is only beneficial for 1 thing, as to focus on the sciences. But Shadus much rather prefers the ideals of Religion, as he believes that Religion is the Ultimate Answer to everything and is the perfect method for Logic and Concept for Mortals.
* Shadus does not enjoy being worshipped but doesn't mind the praise.
* Shadus has a collection of personal creations, such as 26 Divine Gods that work for him that are named each of the Latin Lexicon. These Divine Gods aren't extensions of Shadus, but more like sons and daughters of Shadus. The Divine Gods look like Shadus but take on their own forms, they usually conquer other realities, create their own realities, or intrude on other God's creations. The Divine Gods also could assist Shadus in battle, but Shadus needs no help in battle as he can defeat Beings that are Reality Perfection.
* Shadus will often remind mortals he is far beyond them in every aspect.
* Shadus can (unlike KX) change his form at will but prefers his carbon-based form.
* While Shadus is shown as Life, Death, and Cosmos, he also can embody time, consciousness, fate, and many other concepts.
