### Goals

Redeem himself from his past mistakes (succeeded).

### What Makes Them Sympathetic

Having a traumatic upbringing and being deceived by Eobard Thawne, causing his fall into villainy and Wally not helping him when he is paralyzed.
Redeeming himself for his past mistakes by sacrificing his life as the Flash.

### Type of Villain

Tragic Archenemy

**Hunter Zolomon** (also known as **Zoom**) is a Reverse Flash and an antagonist of *the Flash* comics. In his past, he had a poor relationship with his parents to which his father was a serial killer who one day murdered his mother in front of him (he later died by the police's hands). He was brought to an orphanage and was formerly an FBI agent who was a profiler of criminals. He wife left him later on in his life. He then moved to Keystone city and became a profiler to which Gorilla Grodd broke his back in a single snap, which left him permanently paralyzed. However, hope returned for him when Eobard Thawne intervined in his life.

## What makes him Sympathetic?

* He has an extremely tragic backstory that shapes him into the supervillain that he is today.
	+ His father was a serial killer and in his childhood, his father brutally kills his mother before he is killed by the Police for trying to attack them, leaving Hunter as an orphan.
	+ He made a mistake that led to the death of his father in law, which also possibly caused him to become a limp. After this, he had a strained relationship with his wife before his wife left him for good, causing him to become a more broken man since he lost someone who raised him like a father.
	+ On one fateful day, Gorilla Grodd broke his back in one snap like he was a toy, causing Zolomon to become a paraplegic who lived in a lot of pain. This heavily influenced him to become Zoom.
		- To make matters worse, Wally West didn't help his case at all, which caused Zolomon to feel betrayed by Wally as his friend. This caused him to go to the Cosmic Treadmill, which is how he was able to not only walk perfectly again, but also to be able to manipulate time.
	+ It was eventually revealed to him by Wally that his life was a lie and that Eobard Thawne caused a lot of these tragedies to happen to him in one way or another like with the gunman that killed his father-in-law and Grodd breaking his back, making him a villain by proxy.
* He is an anti-villain and an extremist, having his main goal being to make Wally a better hero through tragedy, even if his actions were pretty heinous like causing Wally's wife Linda to miscarry with his shockwave or starting the Flash wars.
* He goes down the path of redemption by sacrificing himself to seal away the speed force of death from hurting or killing any more speedsters.
Wind Gate: Roc's Hurricane

Probably one of the hardest of the gate moves to do... but i finally got something ^^. Also, i would like to note that these are indeed overpowered... or should seem like it. I should note three things. First of all, ANYONE can learn these. However, for those without control of the element must use a symbol and emotion that i relate to the element. Secondly, the amount of energy needed... let's just say, if HyperSonic were to use a gate move, he'd instantly revert to normal. As a result, normal forms almost never can use it. Unless they're primordial dieties. They might be able to use it once in a battle. Depends. Thirdly, the cost that harms the user DOES bypass the Super Form and Hyper Forms invulnerability. This is so that the attack is not godmodded. There is a loophole though. Trolls aren't immune to this, however, due to their regenerative properties, can use this without much worry. Though i don't plan to give any to any trolls anytime soon. Also, that Devi character you keep seeing is one of my Fcs, of which i will be using soon.

## Description

The Wind Gate: Roc's Hurricane is a unique gate technique. Instead of attacking it summons a giant roc made completely of Hurricanes and Tornados. It completely obeys it's user and the winds only feel like hurricane/tornado force for foes. It will feel like a gentle breeze for friends and allies. The drawback is, however, the users willpower will be weakened upon the end of the summoning.

## Users

* Devi "Delross" Devilan
* Flurras the Emotional
* Dan the Hedgehog
* Gale the Hedgehog
* Sid the Foxidna
* Laura the Hedgehog
* Bazba Cormac

## Methods of Learning

Refer to other gate techniques for this section.

## Variants

Now with this, i can't really do anything about variants so post them here.
Twitch the Rat

***~ This page is a creation of Purple Paw Studios ~***
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Template:Quote

## Skills and Abilities

### Powers

Immunity to poisons;Immunity to most diseases;Various forms of toxins;Corrosive venom

### Abilities

Advanced Toxikinesis;Advanced Putrikinesis

### Weaponry

Crossbow;Poisonous claws and teeth

**Twitch the Rat** is the first test subject for Bubonic's latest project, which revolves around biochemically mutating Mobians and using them as soldiers.

He is based on the champion Twitch from *League of Legends*.

## Physical Description

Twitch has dull, steel-blue fur and fairly long, messy black hair, and his eyes are bright yellow, with duller-yellow sclera. He also has a crooked and bent tail.

He wears a tattered, dark green coat with many buckles and clasps on it, and an armor-like cuff that extends across the back of his shoulders. He also wears gold-colored greaves that expose his feet.

## Abilities

The extensive "testing" that Bubonic performed on Twitch gave the rat a frightening level of control over poisons, so much that his very body became poisonous; a bite or scratch from Twitch that draws blood is almost sure to become infected. Like any Poison Wielder, Twitch can use skills such as Sludge Bomb and Gunk Shot. He can utilize a wide variety of poisons as well; ones that paralyze, hinder the motor skills, cause excruciating pain, etc. These powers are part of his Putrikinesis.

A highly unpleasant odor emanates from his body; this odor can easily make foes dizzy and cause them to lose focus. However, it also makes it rather hard for him to hide.

He also wields a crossbow that fires poisoned bolts.

## Resistances

Twitch is fully immune to poisons, and resistant to a number of diseases.

### Weaknesses

Twitch seems to have a weakness to Water-aligned moves, and he cannot swim; he also has a harder time fighting against non-organic individuals (although in the case of robots, he can utilize a highly corrosive toxin against them).

Being in contact with water for an extended period of time also seems to cause him pain, which makes it difficult for him to bathe; hence the constant odor.

## Personality

Despite the fact that he looks like a maniac, Twitch is only a little bit unhinged. He tends to get too much into attacking his enemies (mainly Trolls), however, and seems to delight in poisoning them and watching them suffer. He tends to keep to himself, and finds it hard to make friends.

He hates the Trolls for turning him into a "walking disease factory", but admits that his new skills (even the foul odor he emits) have helped him survive a great deal. He also hates it when people make fun of his odor.

He is also fond of tea.

### Likes

* Making his foes suffer
* Tea
* Peace and quiet

## Quotes

*"Taste of my disease!"*

*"I don't exactly ENJOY smelling like this, you know."*

*"Tea helps calm me down..."*

*"I've got the right poison for the job..."*

General Hummel

### Goals

### What Makes Them Sympathetic

His whole plan was to change that, making him a well-intentioned extremist, and despite his plan involving the mass murder of 80,000 people, he never had any actual intention of carrying it out, only using it to bluff.

### Type of Villain

## What makes him sympathetic?

* His wife died from unknown causes. He even gives a bouquet of flowers and a sympathetic statement on her grave.
* Throughout his career Hummel was disgusted by the way the USA government treated its soldiers. It would send them on illegal missions around the world where they would die and the government would later refuse to compensation such as posthumous medals for the fallen Marines and military benefits for their families, and even sometimes left their bodies to rot in the foreign countries the missions took place in. Hummel was the one who was forced to deal with these lies and atrocities throughout his whole career.
* Even though his actions are morally questionable, his ultimate goal is to force the USA government to compensate the families of soldiers who have died.
* When he captures a group of tourists, he lets the children go home which shows that he has standards.
* During the shootout between his men and the Navy SEALs, he repeatedly orders his men to "cease fire". Unfortunately, due to Captains Frye and Darrow, this doesn't stop the massacre, but afterwards he is clearly saddened by the carnage and even allows a still-alive SEAL to die in peace rather than allowing Frye to finish him off.
* He threatens that he would kill the hostages and launch rockets against San Francisco but it's later revealed that this was simply a bluff to force the USA government to meet his demands.
* He orders his men not to shoot at the two people sent by the FBI.
* After two of his men betray and kill him, Hummel feels remorse for his actions and with his last breathe reveals to FBI chemical specialist Stanley Goodspeed the location of the last rocket.

## What makes him sympathetic?

* Even though he prosecutes, tortures and kills many Christians, he does this because he thinks that Christianity is a threat to his people and that this religion doesn't have any place in Japan.
* Most of the time he is merciful and if the accused apostatize and step on a fumi-e (a depiction of Jesus or Mary), they are allowed to return to their homes unharmed.
* He doesn't hate Christians and doesn't take any enjoyment from killing them or torturing them. He simply thinks that they are misguided.
* When the priest Rodrigues is captured by his men, Inoue is nice to him, shows his respect to him and tries to understand his point of view and to convince him that he is wrong.
* After the priests Ferreira and Rodrigues “apostatize”, Inoue provides them with families and properties that had previously belonged to other men who had died. He also allows them to work for him and to contribute to Japanese society.
* After Rodrigues Seams to apostatizes, Inoue shows his respect towards him by allowing the people from the small islands to retain their Christian faith because he doesn't perceive them as threat to the Japanese society as a whole and because he thinks that this would make Rodrigues happy.

* Though he survived, his delusional mind still believed that Vicky was alive, even to the point where he'd call her phone repeatedly and hear her voice.
* He only attacks and murders the members of the gang that destroyed his life.
* While he got his revenge, the end shows us that he will likely remain in a mental hospital for the rest of his life, unable to ever move on or heal.
* He's one of the few unsubs that even the BAU admitted they felt sorry for.
Azula

**Princess Azula** is the secondary antagonist in the animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. She also appears in the sequel comic series by Dark Horse, appearing as a recurring antagonist in *The Lost Adventures* anthology, the central antagonist of *The Search* trilogy, and as the main antagonist of the *Smoke and Shadow* trilogy.

She is the princess of the Fire Nation, daughter of Phoenix King Ozai and Queen Ursa, younger sister of Zuko, a master strategist and the archenemy of Team Avatar.

## =What makes her sympathetic?

* A lot of her personality and her drive to be loyal is because of her upbringing and desperate to impress her father, Fire Lord Ozai, in order to win his approval and love of every parent.
* Shows some care for her friends Mai and Ty Lee. Azula comforts Ty Lee when she had insulted her by accident, spends some time with them and when they attempt to leave the Fire Nation, Azula simply imprisons them rather than executing them as her father had ordered.
* Even though she tries to kill him and has a sibling rivalry with him, Azula shows some care for her brother, Zuko. She allows him to pretend that he killed the Avatar and subsequently to return from his banishment, allows him to spend some time with her and her friends at the beach and later at a party and gives him an advice to stop visiting his uncle, so that he wouldn't end up in trouble. In the comics she tries to help him with his reign (even though her methods are destructive).
* She suffers from deep insecurities which were being unloved and abandoned by Ursa, even her final moments include hallucinations of Ursa coming back.
* At a party she attends, Azula falls in love with one of the boys and tries to impress him and to win him over as a boyfriend. However, her attempts fail miserably because she is socially awkward in situations where she doesn't have complete control or doesn't have to fight against someone.
* In the last days before her defeat, Azula's sanity starts cracking up from all the pressure she has experienced and from feeling left out by her father. She becomes more and more paranoid and starts fearing that everyone is conspiring against her and wants to kill her. Even when she hallucinated the words she wanted from her mother, she breaks the mirror as she cannot accept it due to going against Ozai's standards.
* When she is finally defeated and chained after losing her duel, Azula breaks down and starts crying because of her failure and pressure (betrayal of her two friends, Ozai's rejection and failed relationship with Ursa). The scene is obviously played for sympathy by the narrative.
Java版Beta阶段/Optifine高坐标世界渲染漏洞

截自BV1zE411k7KN-By AntVenom

在Minecraft Beta 1.1\_01发布后，"高清修复"辅助性Mod被制作出来。最初它的功能很简陋，但传送到很远的地方会出现诡异的渲染漏洞，如方块撕裂、区块抖动、地形闪烁。

## 距离现象

X/Z≈±2048 (2^11)处，方块碰撞箱开始出现了轻微且肉眼可见的偏移。每过2的次幂，这种现象会加剧。

X/Z≈±16384(2^14)处，积雪、冰面开始出现肉眼可见的闪烁（在远处观察时更为明显，在近处大概率观察不到）。这个效果每过2的次幂将会越发严重。同时，这个现象跟玩家的朝向有关：假设Z轴为16384，则在视角向Z轴方向上可以看到渲染漏洞，而视角在X轴方向上时则看不到闪烁现象。

X/Z≈±32768(2^15)时，花、草等非固体方块开始出现穿模现象（Beta 1.6以上可见）。

X/Z≈±65536(2^16)开始，树叶与水也失去了渲染上的稳定，开始闪烁现象。这种现象同样跟玩家所在的位置、轴有关。

X/Z≈±131072(2^17)处，大多数方块都已经出现闪烁现象，同时，某些距离玩家视线较远的方块可能不会被渲染。

X/Z≈±1048576(2^20)后，世界开始出现闪烁现象，实体也开始"若隐若现"。玩家可以明显地透过闪烁的地形看到地下结构。

X/Z≈±8388608(2^23)开始，方块出现扭曲（这跟rd-132211的距离现象十分相似），一些不完整方块（如火把）会渲染为二维。

X/Z≈±16777216(2^24)之后，方块的渲染被拉伸。每过2的次幂，拉伸会变得越来越严重，且方块渲染起来会更靠近玩家。
