Alphatale/Delios

> There's a difference between failure and losing. Failure is whenever you drop to the floor, and losing is whenever you stay down. To be the first is a chance to become better, and to succumb to the second is to give up that chance.

Delios is a heroic monster that roams verse to verse, attempting to achieve his goal of inspiring hope everywhere.

## Biography

Delios was the second biological spawn of Wendy Thana Gaster, and the successor to Samson. While the clones of Samson had proven weak, Delios had been far more powerful and successive than the rest combined. He was able to go through every test with hope in mind and success at heart. He was the perfect child. Given that he was the son Wendy wanted back, she instantly had made him her right hand, the rightful heir to the throne. It was as if everything was going to be perfect.

As the years went by, Delios began to get more and more aware of Wendy's cruelty. From how she was so passive to him and aggressive to the others, his morality began to take over his desires for greatness. This was specifically because of the way Wendy treated Jacob, the failed clone. The way she tormented him simply to see how mental instability functions, it broken him to his core. So, he did what he believed was right. He had betrayed the Empress and freed the children, being their saviour.

Following the destruction of Alphatale, Delios had fended off Infected, though nearly lost his life because of it. Following the death of his brother, Adam, he had been the sole fighter to delay Infected for as long as possible, only losing the moment Flowey got involved. Now, Delios devotes his life to ensuring nobody else suffers, whether it's mentally or physically.

### Personality

Delios is optimistic, though realistic. He understands the possibility of events, yet always focuses on the good outcome no matter what. Delios is a leader who would die to protect others, and has come close to dying on many occasions because of it. Delios' moral values are what keeps him at his peak, never shifting off-balance in his mind. He always is sure to be on top of himself, and never tries to best others. He only wishes to best himself, and become the best him that he can be.

Delios is very caring of others, so much so to the point that he is strictly non-lethal. Delios is incapable of bringing himself to kill others, as he understands the damage that may cause to the families of those he kills. Despite his serious attitude, he can be very energetic when it comes to non-threatening situations. However, given that he tends to seek threat to ease it, it's very rare to see him be the "happy ol' playful" Delios. Regardless, he tries to help others and overall succeeds whenever he puts his mind to it.

Delios has an ego, though it is usually supressed by his need to protect others. He never really has time for himself, so he instead puts all of his energy into keeping others happy. Delios rarely gets angry, though sometimes can let his emotions get the better of him (yet still, he would never kill because of it). Delios still says "Nyeh Heh Heh" as much as the next tall skeleton man, though he usually only says "Nyeh" when excited, and the full thing whenever he feels triumphant.

In his spare time, Delios showcases his true self. He is loving, egotistical and overall very joyful all around. He isn't ignorant whatsoever, yet still tends to act that way whenever he wishes to make people of more childlike mindsets happy. He is an amazing cook, and has a very strong love for curry. He is always in his battle armour, as he never knows when a great threat may come up from nowhere. Overall, Delios is a lover for action and is a hero to anyone who knows him. His father would be proud.

## Abilities

### Speed of The Champion

Delios' main power is his speed. He is capable of running up to 4x the Speed of Light. However, he does not go beyond 1,000km/s in battle, as that would be very fatal for anyone in battle. Out of battle, he tends to avoid going the speed of light, as he would most likely die. Though, the capability is still there.

### Daggers of Alphatale

Delios has two hand-crafted daggers (more a short-sword, though to his height, it's a dagger) that he had made from a peculiar type of metal only found in his now destroyed home universe. These daggers, resting on two holters at the left of his body, are directly linked to his soul, allowing for him to fuel it with magic and other various things. Delios can increase the thermal heat of these blades using his speed, which can make them very powerful in battle.

### Blue Quad

Delios is able to engage the blue soul trait on any entity with a soul, splitting their soul into four parts that all need to be controlled directly by mental prowess alone.

### Runic Magic

Delios has recited ancient runic magic from The First Era, capable of using this ancient magic through the manner of speech and symbolic hand movement. Each symbol has its own direct power.

#### Fehu

Using the magic of the Fehu rune, Delios can grant a charm onto him and his allies to make them invincible to any form of emotional influence, passive effect or disease. This drains lots of magic from his repository, though lasts ten minutes, so has its worth.

#### Uruz

With the magic of the Uruz rune, Delios has the ability to siphon the life force of any enemy that attacks him. This gives him the power to retain the same amount of vessel stability he had prior to enchanting himself with the rune, the only downside being that it slowly kills the enemy that is opposing him. This rune can be deactivated at will.

#### Thurisaz

Maintaining enough mental willpower to cast this magical ability, this grants immortality to the enemy that Delios is facing, on the downside that the now immortal being has only 25% of their vessel strength, as the other 75% carried onto Delios. This makes Delios a far more powerful foe, and he can be as aggressive as he wishes, due to how the opponent he is facing cannot die. This charm ends whenever the opponent reaches critical condition to the point that when the immortality would wear off, they'd die from the effects of the injuries.

#### Ansuz

With this magical charm, Delios is capable of granting precognition for the next 15 seconds, losing his will over his body and using sole instinct to protect against every and any attack he is faced. It is a perfect countering charm, and can be instantly activated the very second he detects danger.

#### Hagalaz

This destructive spell allows for Delios to cast a powerful earthquake so grand that it could destroy a third of the planet. This third is always in the third that Delios is locked within, and the magnitude of the earthquake is decided by the scale of the planet itself.

### Isa

Delios can cast this spell to completely override his mental prejudice over events, making him a pure battle machine with no mental limits. The only threat of this is that this includes his moral values, making him lethal in the battle if the threat in question presumably deserves to die.

### Laguz

Laguz is Delios' most powerful runic spell, sending him and his opponent (or even ally) into a reality with a cloudy grey sky and nothing beyond that, with foot-deep water and fog out 1km past where the two are. Delios then can look into the future of this opponent, as the area around them begins to reflect upon it the more Delios looks. If the opponent gives up mentally and changes their ways, they will be sent back to where they were before the fight. If they do not, then their future will attack them.

### Chronosupremacy

Whenever time is slowed down to a halt, Delios' speed instantaneously alternates so that he would resume at natural speed in the slowed down area. The only limit for this is whenever time is completely stopped.

### Bones

Delios can naturally summon bones from thin air, though the most powerful bones always end up coming from the ground. These bones can differ in colours, going from blue to green, to even yellow, where they can be destroyed.

#### Bone Shards

Delios is able to shatter the bones he casts and turn them into thin, sharp shards that he can hurl at will.

### Strength of Demi-Gods

Delios has the strength compared to that of a Demi-God, capable of handling things of extreme mass and weight. In mix with his speed, this can make him very deadly in battle.

## Weaknesses

Delios' moveset is extremely aggressive and intended for deadly combat. Given his non-lethal fighting style, his abilities are very out-of-touch with his actual fighting prowess. As a result of this, he can slip-up very often in fights. Despite his power, he is not very good at utilising it.

## Relationships

### King Multiverse

Delios is King Multiverse's reliable companion, and the two trust each other to an extensive level. Delios is a hero known publicly, and King Multiverse respects it beyond normality. As a result, the two tend to work together very often.

## Trivia

* Delios is vegan, but still eats non-artificial meat. He just doesn't like the idea of killing things at all.
