*The End: Uncaged*

**Denali Derision Lightbright** is an adult demiboy Deity and the current ruler of the Kingdom of the vast Outer Fixianor Space, realm of the Deities, a ruthless draconic species which is known to be the more 'extreme' cousins to the smaller, more docile Star Guardians. Being the main enemy of Sunny, Denali wants nothing more than to decapitate him, as well as murder his family, so he can take over the throne of Star Guardians and rule the entirety of Fixianor Space, after their rather close sibling-like relationship was ruined by the corruption of Dashiell and Sunny's ruthless scientific experiments against organic matter. He initiated the Double Dare war against the Star Guardians, the fourth and worst war that Fixianor Space had ever seen.

Despite his long history with the Starsight royals, however, Denali hasn't tormented just the Star Guardians, having also been responsible for the disappearance of Pipeline, as well as many other skirmishes across the Star Guardian side of space, being a figure that strikes fear into the hearts of dragons across Fixianor, and not just that of Star Guardians, Deities as well, not being beloved entirely across his Kingdom due to his violent motifs and questionable actions, though he was a better ruler than his father, and predecessor, Abiri, ever was. He is currently searching for his sister, not knowing her exact location after Sunny corrupted her with a special serum made in his laboratory, though he hasn't found many leads.

He is considered one of the main antagonists of the Fixianor series, being mentioned in *The End: Uncaged* as an idolistic figure by Dulcie, while making his first physical appearance in *The End: Uncrowned* as a major antagonist.

## Appearance

Denali is a being that can strike fear into those with a single glance, though the more you know him and look at him, he doesn't really seem all that frightening.

Denali's face is relatively rounded in shape, with a short snout that fades into a darker brown than his main scale colour, adorned with white freckles right at the tip that seem to glitter in the light. On the top of his head is the start of his scruffy, albeit soft, mane, starting off purple and fading into blue with some more glittery aspects added on. Underneath his eyes and on his forehead are two triangle patterns that are a similar shade of brown to his snout. His bottom jaw is more tan in colour compared to the rest of his face, with a jagged cheek and a fang like structure that pokes upwards, covering some of his mouth. At the back of his head are four beige horns, the ones on the top being longer while the ones on the bottom are shorter. His ears are slightly tan on the inside and are short in length.

His markings mainly consist of triangle, or diamond, like patterns that are scattered all across his body. There are three on his head, two under his eyes on each side of his face (one on one side) and one large one on his forehead. There are also many on his torso, large ones running down his spine with smaller ones being underneath them. They are also present on his legs, on top a large jagged line that is near the top of his leg. The same diamond like markings and jagged line also reappear on his tail. In terms of his wing membranes, there are four dark blue diamond like patterns with a light lavender lace like pattern near the bottom. The lace like markings also reappear on his underbelly.

Denali's build isn't what it used to be, big, powerful, and quite handsome. Now, he is a shell of what he used to be, in his weakened, starving state, his underbelly is shockingly thin, with his ribs poking out, though the thick fur underneath him is enough to cover this up from prying eyes, unless you deliberately looked in that area. His wings are thin, and slightly tattered at the edges, though this isn't too easy to notice at first glance. His arms are thinner, though the muscles that he used to have still remain, although smaller as a result of his starvation and weakness. His arms barely move, as he struggles to move them entirely.

Denali's usual attire consists of his crown, the most iconic piece of clothing that he is always wearing, unless he is going undercover. The crown is lavender in colour with three points at the top, it also trails on down near his ear, with a flower like structure at the end. He also wears another piece of clothing on his neck, being the same lavender in colour with a dark blue star dangling from it. Attached to this are two long banners, starting off purple and fading into yellow in the middle behind a dark blue flower symbol. On all of his feet are indigo gloves, covered by lavender metal thorns that are supposed to represent the ones found on roses. These same thorns are also found on his wings and tail.

## Personality

Denali is a big attention seeker, thriving off of positive attention given to him by others. He loves to put on a show and cause chaos as well as suffering to others. Murder he commits on a daily basis, finding the feeling of being covered in shed blood satisfying. He also loves pain, harming himself for the sake of it, he also doesn't seem to care for how bad he is harmed, and will push himself to his limit. Denali loves pulling dangerous stunts and playing with danger, pointy things, fire, as well as other things you shouldn't be messing with.

Despite his reckless nature, he is afraid of death, not caring how much harm comes to him as long as he makes it out again. He has a large ego and is run by a belief he survives everything, including starvation. Denali also enjoys true crime documentaries, horror, entertainment in the strangest and bizarre forms, and fighting, picking up the weirdest interests. He gets obsessed with things easily and will go through periods of hyperfixating.

He also has a sense of humour, dark humour, to be precise. He finds the most entertainment in jokes that most would find offensive, but he doesn't care, he loves dark humour much more than other forms of humour. He gets defensive over his possessions quickly and hates giving things away, having a strange hoarding instinct. Anything he deems interesting would go straight in his cupboard of 'random stuff', and anything so bizarre it is dangerous would be stashed in his underground vault. Denali cannot share, and is relatively greedy in that sense.

On a lighter note, Denali has a soft spot for children due to working with them as a teenager, and he finds himself connecting to the abuse victims the most as he can see himself in those kids. He is creative as well, with a fondness for glitter and drawing. Denali finds it easier to portray his emotions through artwork, and will often draw as a way of venting instead of putting his thoughts into words, which he finds hard to do at most times.

Denali has a multitude of titles, but there is one that sticks out the most to many: The Bringer of Despair. This title fits him very well, even the king himself has stated this, as he brings misfortune, disharmony and you guessed it, despair, to everybody, especially those he doesn't like. Why does he do this? Entertainment. He enjoys seeing others in pain and will sit back if someone is injured. He doesn't care enough, and besides, he thrives off of the unhappiness of others. However, there is one exception to this. Children. He may laugh in the face of injured adults, but upon being faced with an unhappy or injured child he will go into total hysterics. Adding onto his love for the younger beings, he will try to help them as much as he can, and if it's a case of abuse, he will revoke the child in question and send them to a better home. He can't help it, he sees himself in those kids.

Towards those he likes and the ones that directly work for him, he is protective. If he finds out someone's been hurting them, he will stop at nothing until they are okay. A big contrast to his despair loving self, he is very protective over his workers and friends, going to the lengths to capture and kill their abusers in the most violent ways possible. Denali has always been creative with punishments, and although some say that it's too violent, he finds himself enjoying punishing the ones who he deems 'deserve it the most'. He finds entertainment in torturing and executing prisoners, delivering a Danganronpa-style execution for their deaths as he thinks the normal way of executing (decapitating) is 'boring' and 'not fun enough'.

## Abilities

### Magical

#### Poison clouds

A dust of poisonous gas that is released from within Denali's mane. He can release this at will, but most of the time, it is forcefully released as a self-defense mechanism. Anyone who breathes in the dust will immediately begin to suffocate.

#### Poison jab

A shot of venom that can be transferred into someone's bloodstream through a scratch or bite. Effects of the venom include nausea, vomiting, light headedness and fainting. Denali can choose how much he wants to inject, whether it be a small, harmless dose or a lethal jag.

#### Poison breath

A jet of poisonous liquid that is shot from Denali's mouth, it burns like acid when it touches skin/scales/fur, eating away quickly at any soft tissue. The goo is sticky and a deep indigo in colour.

#### Telekinesis

Denali also has telekinesis, although this requires a lot of concentrating and strength. Because of his starvation, he is unable to use this ability. When he is using his telekinesis, a halo of light appears around his head and he then slips into some sort of trance. By far the most powerful of his abilities.
