**Ruby Rose,** also known **The Darkness,** and at times **Durandal**, is a Vacosian and the main protagonist of the Cyverse meta-series. She was meant to originally literate all of Remnant. However, an accident alters her memory, allowing her to make her own path and become one of Remnant's greatest legends,as well as the informal leader of the Ascendance Team. Throughout her life, she constantly strives and trains to be the best possible and to fight stronger opponents, which has kept Remnant and the universes save from destruction many times.

Her true nature as the Unnamed Darkness is mostly kept to herself, but her family and Eldritch beings of similar rank know about it.

Overall, Ruby is someone that always strives to be better, and despite all her shortcomings, all the struggles, Ruby never lost heart, nor does she look back. She always walks in one direction. That direction is always moving forward.

Have you seen her passing by?

## Appearance

Red hair that is spiked up and giving her a deviant look, standing tall at 188 cm, Ruby is a woman of beauty and maturity. She has an ample bust of E and a very well trained body. She could even go for modelling, but only does it as part-time job. Overall, there's a reason several modelling agencies offered jobs to Ruby. Her ass and her breasts both have earned themselves the nicknames of **Rubooty** and **Ruboobies.**

## Personality

Ruby is shown to be highly intelligent, both emotionally and
logistically. She promotes a carefree and confident attitude, while her
constant vigilance often hides under layers of serenity and equanimity.
Ruby acts laid-back, while being on constant alert.

Ruby
dislikes formalities, often acting in an unpredictable way while being
cocky and taunting. She acts nonchalant and jokingly submissive since
she does not care about social status or recognition. Ruby uses a lot of
 sarcasm such as when she agrees nonchalantly when Blair claims to have
been faster, and she reacts with ironic adaptation when someone claims
her to be lesser.
When around others she likes, Ruby is very
talkative and can have a prolonged one-sided conversation casually,
while simultaneously being able to cook, clean and set up the at once.
She also claims that she will always strive for what she longs for. Ruby
 is a highly intelligent individual, as she usually plans her actions
ahead of time, to save face and for puns. She is rational and more
far-sighted than other Vacosians as well.

Ruby appears relaxed in
situations of great pressure, such was the case during the Tournament of
 Power. Ruby’s gestures are lively, expressive and highly personalized,
as she wants to get her voice across at times. She seems relaxed and
under-challenged like most prodigies would
be, but is in fact hard-working and under constant pressure with having
to keep Remnant and at times the universe, safe from constant danger.

Another thing that stands out about Ruby is that she’s confident, but there’s also a humbleness to her confidence that is very unique. Ruby is confident without arrogance. She’s confident with a purpose. Even when she’s not confident she exudes it to lift other people up or at least is usually open to talk about how unconfident she is, which in itself takes a certain amount of confidence.

She expresses a very ‘us’ mentality and uses that phrasing a lot when talking. Unless she’s blaming herself for something. When she took on the mantle of leader of the Ascendance Team, one saw how unconfident Ruby is, but she still wore the title and went out there, as well as mentoring Arancia with as much confidence and humbleness as she needed to admit her own shortcomings and works through them with her daughter.

That humble confidence is what allows her to be able to see things from other people's perspectives. It’s why she’s usually not condescending against the younger generation and speaks up for them against others.

Ruby has shown multiple times that she can talk people down from fighting or doing bad things or talk people up when they need to step up to the plate. It’s because she’s confident enough to say but, but humble enough to say it right. It’s again because of how humble she is that Ruby is not opposed to getting help when she needs it, or saying thank you to anyone that helps her.

Ruby gets angry, she makes mistakes, yet she doesn’t hold back on apologizing for things when she’s done something wrong. Multiple times she snapped at people and then snapped right back and said she was sorry for it, because she’s strong enough emotionally that she can apologize if she’s wronged them.

It’s even shown in the way she fights, one of Blair’s observations summing it up the best. “Style, grace…and a bit of flamboyance, but without the obtrusiveness and pitfalls of arrogance.”

## Biography

Not much is known of Ruby's past, aside from the few facts listed below, not much is known about Ruby before her mid-twenties. The only one that really seems to know as well as Ruby herself is none other than Blair, who is her sibling. The both of them share said past, yet never speak upon it.

Over the course of a year, Ruby had noticed something when passing by a mirror. Her hair had become white, while her silver-eyes were now a bloody crimson in color. Questioning it a bit, she found out via experimentation that it was like a state of transformation; One that made her dozens of times stronger, but consumed a lot of energy. Not only that, but it made her more restless and savage than she really was.

A couple of years had passed since she found the mansion and claimed it as her own territory; During the time that passed, she had gone to the nearby villages and decided to do some odd-jobs, like carpentering, sewing and other useful tasks that would make her learn several dozens of skills and plenty of lien. With the money she brought some new furniture and started renovating the mansion, which now was dubbed as the Rose Mansion. Other necessities were brought as well, like food, drinks and clothing.

After several weeks of trial and fail, the Rose was able to sew herself an outfit, one that usually could be seen worn in the old dynasty of Remnant. It was quite well-fitting for her as well, and it was in her unique colors of dark red and black. Training for a bit longer, under some huntsman in the nearby village, she gained quite a lot of strength and overall skills, the genetic Zenkais she had, improving her power immensely every time she recovered.

After several years had passed and Ruby was in her early to mid-twenties, she decided to put her plan into motion. A plan she had since young, to check what her connection to the Relic of Destruction was. After much planning and being sneaky beaky, she was able to steal the Relic of Destruction from Atlas. During that she had me the Winter Maiden, Chione Blanco and after a confrontation, had been able to flee.

A few weeks later the winter Maiden met the Rose in the Forever Falls, having a surprisingly civil talk with Ruby and even getting a spare key to the Rose Mansion, with Ruby telling her that the Relic of Destruction is in the mansion somewhere and Chione is free to get it if she wants to. Thinking Ruby was tricking her, the Winter Maiden attacked Ruby at full power, but was fought to a still-stand. Ruby was so confident that it stunned Chione as well and tied with her. She held back her Super Vacosian state, as she didn't feel it would lead to a fair or exciting fight.

With the Chione, she returned back to the mansion and once they entered, Ruby handed the Relic of Destruction to Chione. Much to her surprise, the other didn't accept it and demanded that Ruby start training her, so that she can win the Relic back in a fair fight, her pride as a Blanco not allowing her to take it otherwise. Accepting such, Ruby was glad that she had a new training partner

Some days later, a powerful energy had entered the forest, causing Ruby to break out in light sweat. With dread she told Chione to come with her, but remain in the back. Having gone into the forest, they confronted the Empress of the newly established kingdom of the fifth continent, Blair Blanchimont. Someone who had made herself a name after the Fall of Beacon and took the initiative to establish a Kingdom for herself. She had come to the Forever Falls, as she had heard rumors of someone powerful with red-hair being there.

Her suspicions were right and she met Ruby and Chione, greetings Ruby much like an old friend. Ruby reluctantly asked her old friend Blair what she was doing here and Blair answered that she planned to have Ruby become a knight to the Blanchimont Kingdom. The Rose decided to accept on two conditions, that Blair fought with her and that she would also include Chione, the Winter Maiden in this deal. After a long fight that last about a hour, with Ruby being forced to reveal the Super Vacosian state and was able to fight Blair to a standstill.

The deal happened and both Ruby and Chione were now in allegiance to Blair and the Kingdom, but also had gotten the protection and Political immunity that came with it. Due to not wanting to be associated with her old persona of the Phantom Thief, Ruby opted to take on a new name during her time as a knight for the Blanchimont, which is where the **Durandal** name comes from.

Sometime later, the newly married couple of Ruby and Chione, decided to take a honeymoon, but were attacked by an alternate timeline counterpart of Chione. A swift battle followed, with Ruby not being able to participate as she took the blunt of a hit meant for Chione. Chione subdued the other Chione and after some talking and peace offering, the new Chione got renamed Aura and began living with Ruby and Chione as her sister.

During such a time, Blair had found out about mystical wishing orbs,
which the rumors called Dragon Balls of Remnant. Informing her fellow
Vacosian about it, Ruby had used one of the questions from the Relic of
Knowledge to find out more about them and the second one to find their
locations, while the final wish was used to give the scientists in the
Blanchimont Kingdom an idea of how to locate those things more
frequently. After a good few months, Myrddin and the scientists were
able to create something known as a Dragon Radar, which would always be
handy from now on and kept in the Royal Vaul.

Once they Dragon Balls were gathered together, the eternal Dragon
 Synron came forth, telling them it was the first time in over several
millennia that it had been awakened and that it would grant them four
wishes. After introductions were done, the first two wishes were used by
 Ruby to erase Aura's timeline and make her part of the main timeline,
so she wouldn't disappear in a paradox of sorts. The third and fourth
wishes were used by Blair and Ruby, granting them immortality that
wouldn't allow them age past their prime, as well as have a very good
healing factor that could be utilized with their zenkai ability.

Over the next year that came, the process was repeated once more,
 the dragon balls were easy to find, thanks to the Dragon Radar invented
 by the Blanchimont Kingdom. This time only two wishes were used, to
grant Aura and Chione the same kind of immortality that Ruby and Blair
had, and with only two wishes used, the Dragon Balls would be active
within half a year, as opposed to their usual year.

Of course the Dragon Balls being twice in a year got the
attention of a being by the name of Kami, which contacted the Ascendance
 team and brought them up to her platform. There Blair, alongside Blair,
 Chione and Aura, were informed of what the history of the world was,
that there was an afterlife and so on and on.

It was a lot to take in for them, especially Ruby and Blair who
were Vacosians not from the planet to begin with. They realized they
were the playthings for Gods. Blair and Ruby were one of a kind though,
 fateless beings that made their own path in life, without it being
dictated by anyone and Blair finally decided to rebel against the very
Gods themselves and become the strongest there is. In a fitting manner,
she slit her palm with Excaliburn, which would leave a scare, but
ultimately inspired the rest of the Ascendance team. Especially as the
Fateless King declared that her fate laid in her own hand and she'd make
 her own path.

From there on out, Ruby came a few times to hang out with Kami, and got wind of something called the HTBC. A special kind of training dimension in which one year equals one day outside. Deciding to make usage of it with the rest of the Ascendance team, Ruby messaged them and after Blair made some much-needed provisions, rations and etc, they stayed in there for a week.

Of course over the next three years, they likely spend close to a
dozen if not more years in it training. In return, Ruby, Blair and co
had gone past their limits and reached new heights possibly not known to
 them. Blair had finally reached the first stage of Super Vacosian, and
had learned how to use it with her Semblance, allowing her to equal
Ruby, who in turn had unlocked Super Vacosian 3 and developed a
technique known as Haken, something which Blair learned form Ruby as
well.

Of course over those years, Blair and Orithyia, as well as Ruby
and Chione, decided to have children. While Ruby was blessed with two
children, Osiria and Arancia, Blair and Orithyia only had one child
which they named Bianca. Close in name to Blair, as the kid looked like a
 splitting image of Blair. After a good long while, Blair got news that
Ruby had met the legendary warriors known as Yae Sakura and Kallen
Kaslana, both of which Ruby declared to be the Godparents, much like
Blair would do as well, once she met them. The Phantom Thief and
heretic Miko spoiled Arancia, Osiria and Bianca a lot.

**About a decade had passed.**

Due to some of her past deeds, some people decided to take revenge on Ruby. So by taking the many genes of the strongest warriors, like Ruby, Blair, and co, they created the 'Perfect Organism' known as Chondria. This bio-android would serve as the antagonist of the *Perfection Saga*, which spanned a good two weeks, and a whole tournament later, Ruby had been able to fight on par with Chondria by using the Super Vacosian Haken x 20, but ultimately was outdone due to the stamina issues.

In turn the unlikely savior of the day was none other than Blair, who had gone into Super Vacosian 2 and outdone the perfect organism; Even showing her what true perfection was. As opposed to killing the ravenette, Blair decided to keep her as a servant and make her a weapon of the Blanchimont Kingdom. Fortunately Ruby managed to talk the blonde into being more humane, so Chondria became a knight of Kingdom Blanchimont instead.

After those two weeks, Ruby finally decided to take some good vacation with her family and children, who had just turned 12 this year. Yet of course, where Ruby goes, trouble doesn't stay too quiet either. With an ancient evil awakened by Ruby's and Chione's powerful presence, they had been the first ones to battle Majin Boob, and ultimately had beaten her.

Or so it seemed, as the being had simply teleported away, with the Rose-Blancos being none the wiser. It was at this time that the Supreme Kaioshins had decided to make themselves known. They commented that the planet of Remnant had beings that hit the mortal ceiling in term of power and it would only be a matter of time until one of them stepped into the godly realm. Nevertheless, they informed the Ascendance team about the danger of Majin Boob and her being a Primordial Chaos force that had gotten unsealed by strong presences.

The being reappeared a few months later, back at full strength and forcing the Ascendance team to use every ounce of power and resources they had. In the end the foe even absorbed the likes of Chione, Aura and the other AT-fighters. By a miracle, the Kaioshin had broken a forbidden law and gave Ruby and Blair the potara earrings, which would make them fuse. In turn the ultimate fusion was born, Rulair.

The fusion made short work of the being, but wasn't able to kill it due to its annoying regeneration factor. Hence why they decided to seal it in a jar, and via the dragon balls, got out all the people that had been absorbed, as well as resurrect all those that had been killed in the battles. The fusion itself had defused finally, with Ruby and Blair simply beginning to understand one another more, and having risen in power from a result of being so in sync.

With the potara earrings returned, Remnant enjoyed a good half a year of piece, with Ruby training more than ever, as she wanted to break the mortal realm, but simply was unable to for some reason. It was during this time that the planet of Remnant had been visited by the God of Destruction Cerveze, alongside her Angelic Attendant Agrippina. There she told them about a vision of her battling a being called Super Vacosian God, and if such a thing wouldn't be fulfilled, she'd destroy the planet.

Of course the Ascendance Fighters took it as a challenge and got beaten one after another by the being, even the incredibly strong Blair Blanchimont. Ruby had finally appeared herself, revealing that she had fought Cerveze earlier with her usual combo of Super Vacosian stacked with 20 times Haken on top of it, but wasn't able to scratch the deity. Her plan was to finally use the dragon balls and reveal how to become this legend, who in turn said that several beings had to channel their energy into one.

Doing so, Aura, Chione, Blair, Osiria and Arancia channeled their energy into Ruby, who had been the most adept at ki control. Then with several pink sparks, Ruby was lifted into the air and encumbered in pink fire and before long, she could feel it. She had broken through the mortal ceiling and become a god; Her mortal ki all gone, replaced by the amazing and divine feeling of Godly Ki.

With this the Super Vacosian God began to battle Cerveze, and despite having the losing hand, Ruby fought hard and valiantly. This showed potential to the God of Destruction, who decided to spare the planet, as long as they'd provide her with enough entertainment. The ritual had run out of time, but Ruby's body adapted to the Godly Ki and started producing it naturally, granting Ruby the ability to transform into Super Vacosian God when she wished, as well as having a second reservoir of ki available to use.

An unknown amount of time later, Ruby and co had gotten an invitation to Cerveze's planet, with the Rose being the one to teleport them there. She had been able to use her mimicry skill on the Supreme Kaioshin and was able to copy her Instantaneous Movement technique, which meant she could go anywhere she pleased. Onto the reason they were invited: Cerveze and Agrippina decided to train the six of them personally, to see how far they'd come. Of course it came with a condition, which was for Ruby to become the next God of Destruction once her training had finished.

Reluctantly agreeing, Ruby had made it clear she'd become one in a few centuries, which they agreed upon. Like that the training started immediately, with Ruby being the farthest ahead as she already had God Ki, while the rest took half a year to catch up.

During that half year, Ruby had managed something that no other Super Vacosian had done in the past. She had been able to go into Super Vacosian while in Super Vacosian God. Her pink hair and eyes became blue and her power was greater than ever before. This state was called Super Vacosian God, Super Vacosian, but had been shortened to Super Vacosian Blue, as Ruby kept complaining that she always bit her tongue saying that.

Three years had passed and the six had become strong and mighty in their own senses. Aura and Chione had become Exalted Sovereigns, the Exaltation equivalent of Blue, while Blair herself had gone into Super Vacosian Blue and once more caught up to Ruby.

Of course during such a time they had been forced into participating in the Tournament of Power, Universe 12 only having a mortal average of 6.99. Hence a team of ten members, consisting of Ruby, Blair, Chione, Aura, Kallen, Sakura, Osiria, Arancia, Vermillion and Cinder Fall took part in the Battle Royale.

The beginning wasn't too hard and after a while only Unvierse 7, 11 and 12 remained. Most warriors had knocked each other off, only leaving Ruby, Jiren and Goku to face off one another. Against Jiren, not even the Blue Haken times 20 stacked on top of it made Jiren bulge much. Goku having been out like a light bulb, after his first spurt into Ultra Instinct -Sign-, it was up to Ruby to handle Jiren in the meanwhile.

Of course as aforementioned, she didn't stand a chance. All the training she had done and she still couldnt' fight him. In an emotional moment, with Ruby flashing back on her friends and family, and how they would be erased if she lost, she was able to break her own self-limiting shells. Like that, Ruby herself assumed Ultra Instinct and with this Ruby was able to fight Jiren at full power. Goku had recuperated and with the full might of Ultra Instinct, joined the two warriors in the Ultimate Battle.

It had been a long and hard fought battle, but Ruby at the end managed to hold out, the three universes allowed to stay. In the end she won the paper-rock-scissors match against Goku and Jiren and gave her wish from the Super Dragon Balls to Cerveze. Who in turn had wished for all the universes to be resurrected, as well as raise their mortal level by several points. The Omni-King and Grand Priest were happy, rewarding Cerveze with the title of the highest ranking God of Destruction.

With that event out of the window, Ruby had been ranked as one of the mightiest warriors in the universe, alongside the other two finalists. Finally deciding to answer the mysterious letter she received at the beginning of her adventure, she was confronted with someone called Melano, who revealed herself to be Azathoth. She revealed Ruby and Blair to be her first creations, the Darkness and Yog-Sothoth. Ruby, not too surprised, had already suspected something like this. Accepting her nature, she once more became the Darkness, but kept her life as was.

She told Chione about it as well and informed her family and the rest about it. They told her she'd still be Ruby to them, no matter what happened, which in turn caused Ruby to hug them all and said that she'll continue being Ruby Rose for eternity. Her true nature remains a secret to others, yet Ruby doesn't do much of a job to keep it a secret, unlike Blair who's very secretive about it.

Continuing her training as the God of Destruction Apprentice, Ruby had slowly begun to master Ultra Instinct, but was unable to tap into it fully. Hence why she was only able to use -Sign-, the incomplete form of Ultra Instinct, on will instead. Ruby doesn't like using it much though, as it doesn't feel like her own fighting style anymore and instead went on to try and master something else, getting some help with the theoretical aspects from Agrippina.

Yet the next threat didn't wait, with the Supreme Kaioshin of Universe 12, Kaiosa, calling for Ruby and Blair. Kaiosa told them about two threats, one which was on Namek and was currently gathering the Dragon Balls there, as well as slaughtering the villages there. Another one happening at the other end of the Universe had planet after planet's energy disappear. Ruby decided to take care of that, while teleporting Blair to the Namek planet, where she had to deal with Cinder Fall.

Ruby herself encountered a dark witch by the name of Nyx, who was several million years old and had broken out of a prison rift in-between time and space and was now slowly regaining her former glory by absorbing the energy of planets and their inhabitants. Ruby asked her why she would do that and how many, with Nyx answering that she had already taken in a dozen of planets and wasn't planning on stopping any time soon.

A bit enraged, Ruby decided to engage in combat with Nyx. The other wasn't all that much stronger than Ruby in her base, so she first started off with Super Vacosian and was having the advantage, but only for a bit, as Nyx seemingly began to overpower Ruby more and more, each time the Rose transformed, all the way up to Super Vacosian Blue. It took Ruby a while to figure it out, but the other was absorbing her energy and making herself stronger, while Ruby weaker.

Ruby was getting more and more desperate and weaker at the same time, so she decided to try a technique she worked on for a while with Agrippina after the Tournament of Power. She contained all of her remaining energy inside of herself while in Super Vacosian Blue and had achieved a new state known as Super Vacosian Blue Perfect, or as she simply called it, Perfected Blue. It was the power of which she was able to seal the massive energy of Blue inside of herself and increase her power massively that way.

With this, she once more was close to Blair's Super Vacosian Blue Evolution and was able to beat Nyx this way. She only was able to knock the other out, as she was sensing that Namek was on the brink of destruction. Teleporting over there, she quickly grabbed Blair and teleported back to Remnant, just mere seconds away from the Planet's utter destruction. The both of them exchanged infos on their fights, Ruby telling that she had to knock Nyx out in a hurried manner to save Blair, while the Empress told her that she wasn't able to kill Cinder Fall due to the other wishing for immortality from the Namek Dragon Balls.

They had to wait a while, before they'd be able to use the Dragon Balls of Remnant to wish back the lost planets and lives. In the meanwhile all this energy was able to rouse the attention of another being. A couple of months later, with Ruby and Blair sensing yet another energy source. The whole Ascendance Team came, and saw that a ship had landed. It was none other than Cinder Fall, the one that Blair had faced and humiliated.

The Blanchimont had questioned why she had come to Remnant and Cinder Fall revealed that she had gathered her empire to come and invade, but had brought along someone that was similar to Ruby and Blair. A girl with purple hair and a shy attitude stepped out, alongside her father and Cinder Fall revealed that this girl was a Vacosian like Ruby and Blair.

Ruby was the one who lost the paper-rock-scissors match between Blair and herself and so the empress was the one to first fight the third, yet younger Vacosian. At first Blair was overwhelming the other, yet the zenkai ability of Spinata proved to be extreme, immediately bringing Blair into Super Vacosian God and was able to best the other to some extend, until she took on the Wrath form. Something that seemingly boosted her beyond what Blair's God form was able to do.

Exchanging places, Ruby started off in Super Vacosian God as well, getting battered around by the Wrathful Vacosian. After a while Ruby had enough and assumed the Super Vacosian Blue form, now fighting on even grounds with the other, even holding the advantage thanks to Spinata's lack of combat skill and experience. Cinder Fall seeing this, decided to murder Spinata's father and called out to the third Vacosian, telling her that one of Ruby's stray blasts killed him.

Spinata seeing that, ascended for the first time. Yet Ruby and Blair broke out in cold-sweat, as they saw this was different from the usual Super Vacosian form. Blair joined Ruby's side, also in Blue and the both of them fought against the newly Super Vacosian, yet were beaten back more and more, as Spinata's zenkai and adaptive ability kicked in and before long she was stronger than the both warriors combined.

Ruby once more used the instant transmission and teleported them out of the danger zone, so that they could go recuperate. In the meanwhile her daughter Arancia held Spinata off, doing surprisingly well, but not being able to do any real damage. Meanwhile Ruby and Blair were doing the fusion dance, having failed once and had to wait 30 minutes. The second time around they fused again and the new fusion of Rulair was created.

The fight was short, yet mesmerizing. Rulair had to go into Super Vacosian Blue, but was able to beat Spinata at her Legendary Super Vacosian state. After defusing, Ruby was able to shoo away Cinder Fall and her forces, while Blair offered Spinata a position in the Blanchimont Kingdom, wanting to keep a close eye on her and securing herself and Ruby a new training partner.

Next Saga WIP, Throne of Demons

## Powers & Abilities

Ruby is one of the strongest member of the Ascendance Team and one of the most powerful characters in the Cyverse Metaseries. Ruby is able to hold her own if not take on seemingly any opponent. Her natural talent for combat along with her staggering power have reached unprecedented levels through training and fighting. Her status as a Vacosian, those who are considered eldritch relatives of the Saiyans from Universe 7, further cementing her status on the top.

Furthermore, she has several transformations to increase her level of power and abilities even further. All in all, Ruby has rightfully earned her place as the co-leader of the Ascendance team, striving to become stronger and stronger, by training harder and harder every day.

Ruby is a master of several things, first and foremost a martial arts master. Furthermore she uses a plethora of weapons, some of which include a Scythe-Sniper, which is Crescent Rose and a secondary weapon which is Ruby's Glaive, a spear with a long blade on it that she has mastered to use. She learned how to use a sword as well and in all the aforementioned things is a master as well.

## Techniques

**Hãken** (界王拳; lit. Supreme King Fist) is a fighting technique invented by Ruby. It is a technique that multiplies the user's *energy* for as long as the user can keep it up - thus increasing their power and speed and enabling them to inflict serious damage to opponents who are considerably stronger than them. The downside of the Hãken is that it uses up a lot of stamina, even more so than Super Vacosian 3.

However, it can be used in combination with any form of hers, at the price of it taking a toll on her body. While in this state, her white aura becomes a vibrant blue. It requires proper Energy control to handle it. Further mastery over the technique and perfect energy control can nearly null the stamina drain completely.

**Immortality** – Due to her status as the Darkness, she has ageless immortality. Ruby is only moderately unfazed by any injury, no matter how grievous. This is due to having one of the highest pain tolerances in existence. Yet immortal slayer weapons, like her own, and the rest of the group, still can inflict plenty of pain and lasting injuries on her.

* **Regeneration | Healing Factor** – Thanks to her immortality, Ruby heals any wound much quicker than normal. Severed limbs can be easily re-attached or if Ruby wills it, regenerate from nothing within a few hours. Even completely disintegrating her won't do anything, for as long as Nonexistence is in any form, so will Ruby and simply pops back into existence. This is extremely useful with her Zenkai ability, allowing her to come back much stronger in a short period of time.

**Zenkai –** Alternatively referred to as **Vacosian Power,** is a genetic Vacosian trait and power to gain strength from survival. Ruby becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. when she survives from near-death experiences. This Vacosian genetic trait allows their combat prowess to continually increase as they fight. This is done by the Vacosian instinctively imprinting on new experiences to lessen the chances of same injury happening again and likewise dramatically increasing their power after recovering from injuries. Coupled with the aforementioned healing factor/regeneration, Ruby tends to abuse Zenkais a lot, much like Blair does too.

**Instant Transmission** – A technique for traveling long distances instantly. This action is
usually accompanied by the user placing her index and middle fingers on
her forehead to help her concentrate, though if extra time is taken the
technique can be performed without this aid.

**Energy Nullification** – Ruby is able to void out abilities, techniques and energy-using attacks by cancelling out their effects and rendering them harmless. Ruby used this ability during her fight with Cerveze, in which she negated a burst of energy created from a clash between the tremendous *ki* output of Cerveze and her own, which possessed enough energy to destroy the entire universe.

**Hakai** | **Absolute Destruction** – As the Embodiment of Nonexistence, Ruby possessess the ability to destroy anything without limits, from concepts, boundaries and causation, to studies like metaphysics and science, even irrational concepts like the fabric of nothingness and totality itself. Thanks to her unique physiology, Ruby is outright immune to having her existence be erased, the only one able to do so being **Azathoth.**

**Absolute Nonexistence Embodiment -** As it is known in the Cthulhu Mythos written by Lovecraft, The Darkness which is Ruby, is known as the Absolute Nonexistence and Destruction. She embodies all that doesn't exist and will be destroyed too. This grants her a plethora of power, some of which is known as Void Manipulation and Nonexistence Manipulation, among many other applications of her status and being.

**Manipulation Immunity & Magic Immunity** – She's immune to magic and other manipulations that could influence her. E.G. A succubus trying to get her horny or using some kind of aphrodisiac on her will fail without guarantee. Another example being a magician who is trying to control her mind, it will fail and never work. Furthermore, illusions don't work on her either thanks to her God Ki. Any attack on the soul, spirit, etc, will also be neutralized by her God Ki.

**Boundary Manipulation –** Ruby can create, shape and manipulate boundaries. Physical, material existential and so on and on, since everything is existentially and conceptually defined by boundaries, the possibilities of this ability are virtually limitless. This was gained after Ruby underwent a Semblance Evolution, which upgraded her Speed Semblance to that of Boundary Manipulation.

Space-Time Manipulation - An ability gained via the mastery of God Ki of hers, which allow her to manipulate both space and time as she wishes. She mostly uses this to skip time forward or stop time to allow for more training. It also helps against opponents that would want to freeze her in time, as Ruby is immune to such things now, thanks to multiple zenkais enhancing this ability.

**Fligh**t – The user uses their *energy* to give them the ability to levitate and fly at high speeds.

**Afterimage Technique** – This technique is a short burst of extremely high speed, moving faster than the opponent can sense. This has the side effect of leaving a momentary "after image", until the opponent's senses adapt and realize their target has moved.

**Hadoken** - A powerful *ki* beam fired with two hands after concentrating a large amount of *ki*.

* **Full-Power Hadoken** - While the fundamentals of the technique are exactly the same as a regular Hadoken, the overall power of this Hadoken is even greater.

* **Ultimate Hadoken** - As with a regular Hadoken, Ruby cups her hands together and charges blue energy, then thrusts her arms forwards and fires the ultimate Hadoken.
* **Divine Hadoken** - Utilizing God Ki, the Hadoken becomes a white color and becomes massively stronger.
* **Haken Hadoken x 10 - 20 -** A Hadoken enhanced by Ruby's Haken technique, giving it a ten to twenty times bigger power output.

**Ryuken** – Ruby delivers a punch that causes an explosion, summoning a white dragon to either wrap around the enemy and disintegrate with it, or devour them. This technique was taught to her by Goku, after they met-up for another spar after the Tournament of Power.

* **Supreme Ryuken** - An enhanced form of the Dragon Fist used by Ruby in her Super Vacosian 4 form and holds ten times the amount of power of the standard version.
* **Hadoryuken -** A combination of the Haken and the Ryuken, in which Ruby first feigns the opponent with a Hadoken and once they have deflected it, they get surprised by the Ryuken.

**Can You Follow Me?** – Ruby teleports in front of the opponent and delivers several high-speed punches and kicks. Ruby finishes the attack by knocking the enemy away with a left-hook kick, inflicting a huge amount of damage.

**Kiai** – An invisible wave of energy emitted from the hand. It is a technique where the user affects the air currents around him with *ki* to produce powerful shockwaves in order to strike the opponent.

**Energy Manipulation –** Ruby is often shown to be using energy blasts or beams. Ruby can create, shape and manipulate her energy. By learning to harness her inner latent energy, she is able to gain superhuman capabilities, which can be used in cases of extreme combat. Among this she achieved to full extend of this power, like extraordinary abilities, energy blasts, some elemental manipulation and a major boost to her stats.

* **Godly Ki** - Thanks to training with the GoD Cerveze and mastering her Ki Control to a flawless level, Ruby has the ability to use God Ki. With this, her energy cannot be sensed by beings lower than Gods, and allows her to become even more powerful when utilizing it.

**Energy Sense** – The ability to sense energy. Sensing is the ability to sense the location, life force, and power level of anyone; the stronger and closer the enemy, the more powerful the sensation.

**Mimicry** – The ability to copy others' techniques after seeing them performed once. Ruby usually refrains from using it, but when she sees something interesting, she'll definitely copy it.

**Aura Blade –** She emits a blade of white energy from his hand to slash and stab his opponent. It seems to be enhanced by the form's aura.

* Ruby can shoot out multiple energy javelins from his blade that first pierce the target and then explode.

* **Aura Lance –** She holds out her right hand and creates a lance-like weapon that consists of electrically charged Ki, then throws the lance at the opponent, violently impaling them, and explodes afterwards.

**Resistances &** **Immunities –** Thanks to a combination of her Ki, God Ki and Zenkai, Ruby has been able to adapt to many techniques over the decades and was able to gain resistances to them.

* Thanks to her divine state, Ruby as someone with God Ki and beyond has transcended time and is not affected by things like time or space manipulation by those weaker than herself. Meaning if someone does a time-stop, she'd be unaffected and could attack them like that. She is also immune to any attacks on the soul, the spirit and mentally, from mind manipulation all the way to soul manipulation, thanks to God Ki neutralizing such outside forces on the body. Furthermore, all the aforementioned abilities above, she is resistant to and others will have a hard time affecting her with them, unless she's willing to let it happen.

## **Transformations**

In her journeys Ruby has unlocked a plethora of transformations, both through vigorous training and in special cases, through a ritual to obtain Godly Ki. The overview of it can be seen here!

### **Super Vacosian**

A legendary transformation of the Vacosians, which legends have been passed down from generation to generation in Remnant. They were more common before the God of Destruction Cerveze wiped out all of them in a fit of rage, but as they are known for being resilient, some of them survived. It's been thousands of years, but the legend has reawakened and revived within Ruby Rose.

At first the form made Ruby restless and her daughter even commented that her kindhearted father didn't exist anymore, what was left was a savage warrior with the intent to kill. Thankfully, after a lot of training and mastering the form, it only changes her physically, not mentally anymore.

The changes brought on are a few; Her hair becomes a shade of silvery-white, while her silver-eyes become a shade of piercing red. Overall the muscle mass is increased. Additionally, the form has a multiplier of 50 times her base form.

### **Super Vacosian 2**

A form that was first achieved by Ruby in a fit of rage when seeing the battered and near-dead form of Chione by their first real enemy, Chondria. Every warrior, including Ruby herself, had failed to scratch her more than a few times, yet her fury reached the breaking point once the other had targeted Chione.

Finally, this form was achieved. Her hair became wilder, while her red eyes become colder in appearance. Her arrogance and lack of sanity is very pronounced in this form and made short work of Chondria. Her muscles are even more defined in this form, yet the physical changes from before are kept. After mastering the form, the lack of sanity and arrogance are restored, and Ruby uses it like any other form. Although the form still has eldritch roots, so Ruby will be a bit more cold blooded.

The form itself comes with a form of biological electricity, that cackles around the user sometimes. The form is twice as strong as Super Vacosian, which means it is a base multiplier of 100 times.

### **Super Vacosian 3**

A form that has been gained through intense training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Training with her rival Blair, Ruby and she had trained for an entire week in there, which equates to around 7 years. It had been discovered in a fluke, by Ruby finally mastering Super Vacosian 2 and breaking past her limits, as Blair had pushed her to that point.

The hair of this form is longer, growing past Ruby's shoulders. Her muscles are the most defined in this epic form. In turn, it's a 180 from Super Vacosian 2, causing Ruby no change mentally, and allowing her to make 100% usage of her energy.

At first Ruby had trouble keeping up this form, as the energy drain made it only usable for a few minutes, before she had completely depleted her ki reserves. Thankfully with the remaining training in the HTBC, she mastered and minimized the energy drain. It quadruples the strength of Super Vacosian 2, which means the base is multiplied by 400 times.

### **Super Vacosian God**

A form that has been desperately gained through a ritual. As told by the God of Destruction Cerveze, Ruby was the chosen warrior that shall compete with the GoD to decide whether or not Remnant would be destroyed by Cerveze. The first battle, Ruby had lost, even when using the Haken on-top of Super Vacosian 3 and pushing herself to her limits. In turn, they finally had made a wish from the dragon balls of Remnant, from the dragon Synren. It told them of the ritual and they obliged, with five warriors that had been able to use Super Vacosian or Exaltation, channeling their power into Ruby, who was clad in Godly Ki now and had become a Deity herself.

In this form, Ruby's mortal ki is all gone, replaced by God Ki. In turn, the form makes her seems thicker in all the right places; more slimmer than anything else. Her hair became a pinkish color, with her eyes matching. She's always seen insisting it's not pink, but lightish-red.

It has some other advantages over the mortal Vacosian line of transformations, one of which is the near-endless stamina she gains from it, as well as being unable to be sensed by something that isn't a God itself. The biggest thing though, is that her speed shot through the roof, allowing her to be even more acrobatic and flexible. This form far surpasses anything ever seen in the Cyverse, even the Super Vacosian 3 Haken x 20 combo. She also gains an enhanced healing factor in this form.

### **Super Vacosian Blue**

After the battle with Cerveze, Ruby was introduced to a new realm of power; the realm of Gods. With her body now being capable of producing Godly Ki on its own, as it had adapted after the fight with the God of Destruction, Ruby wanted to become even stronger. Which is why she forfeited her pride and asked the attendant Angel to train her. Alongside with Blair, the both of them trained for the better part of 3 years there, mastering new techniques and climbing to higher realms.

The result of the training was great; They gained perfect, flawless Ki Control, which meant they now could go into Super Vacosian God and go into Super Vacosian, which resulted in a blue clad form, Super Vacosian God Super Vacosian. Due to Ruby often biting her tongue, they opted to rename it to Super Vacosian Blue.

This form is a bit an inch taller than that of Super Vacosian God, but as opposed to being slimmer or skinnier, they retain the muscle increase & definition from Super Vacosian. This form uses both Godly and Mortal Ki, but the user still cannot be sensed by beings lesser than a God. It comes with flawless Ki control, which allows them to increase or decrease their powerlevel at will.

Thanks to the perfect Ki Control, Ruby is able to use the Haken with this form once more, up to the maximum multiplier of 20 times. A flaw that comes with this form from prolonged usage, is that it has incredible stamina drain, not as severe as Super Vacosian 3 though. Repeated usage of this form will cause the user to be unable to pull out even 10% of the form's full power. With enough mastery or the sub-forms, these flaws can be done away with.

## **Special Forms**

### **Perfected** **Super Vacosian Blue | Perfected Blue**

The full potential of a Super Vacosian Blue is only usable by a Warrior during the first few moments of the transformation, before dropping to a normal level for Super Vacosian Blue. Ruby manages to perfect the flaws of Blue and as a result, Super Vacosian Blue Perfect, or in short Perfected Blue was born.

There's not much of a physical change involved, aside from the usual glow of the blue aspects and the aura being completely gone, as they seal the massive overflowing power inside themselves to the Perfected state of Blue. Hence her vibrant blue hair becoming lighter in color. This form does not replace Ruby's normal Super Vacosian Blue, as it requires time for her to power up into and seal the aura inside herself, thus can be time consuming. This form is incredibly powerful, allowing Ruby to fight on par with a fusion, which her normal Blue with Haken x 20 wasn't able to do. In turn, the massive power up comes with a few flaws. First being that it requires intense concentration and focus to prevent any aura from leaking out of her body. If even the smallest amount of energy leaks out, it can be extremely painful to Ruby.

After a lot of physical and mental training, Ruby now can assume the form within mere seconds and keep it up with even less effort. Of course Ruby made it a fun little game to herself, to let her family guess whether she's using normal Blue or Completed Blue, which becomes easy to tell after the lack of aura and such. Theoretically one can stack the Haken on top of this too, but that likely would require a decade of training or more to even begin to attempt.

### **Wrathful State**

Alternatively known as **Super Vacosian 4**, this form is unique to pureblooded Vacosians and a different branch of transformation from the earlier Super Vacosian and God Forms.

The only way a Vacosian can attain SV4 is if they have a high enough powerlevel and become a White Voidal, and regain conscious control over the form. Even after this form is attained, it can be accessed at will, for as long as the user still has a place in the eldritch hierarchy. The form possesses all of the power of an Outer God, condensed into a smaller, humanoid form.

The Super Vacosian 4 draws the power of its user up to its utmost limits. It allows the user to utilize more powerful signature techniques, in Ruby's case the Supreme Ryuken, which is ten times stronger than the normal Ryuken. Like Super Vacosian God, this form seemingly allows the user to absorb energy attacks, however unlike said God form, SV4 does not use up the user's power when absorbing energy attacks.

Unlike SV3 and Super Vacosian Blue's energy and stamina drain, this form does not require any energy to keep up and only a very small, nearly not noticeable stamina drain to maintain. Furthermore this form raises the power of the user to their prime physical condition and gives Ruby traits of a feline. Like a pair of cat ears and her tail being turned into a cat tail.

For Ruby this means a much fitter body and making her height go from 188 cm to 203 cm, as well as turn her silver-eyes into bright blue ones. Her hair goes from a stark crimson to black, being as wildly styled as in her base form. Even in this form Ruby retains her confidence, but is still as nice and as handsome as ever.

## **Trivia**

-Her **age** has been a mystery. She often says she's in her late twenties, but if one were to find out the true age, they'd be shocked. It's **158** Googolplexian **years** after all. Here a visual reference.

-Ruby does 100 Push-ups, 100 Sit-ups, 100 Squats, and run 10 kilometers every day, to keep herself in shape. Ruby tends to do these while stopping time, mostly out of boredom and to keep her body fit.

-It is her job to erase on an outerversal scale, as it is Yog-Sothoth's job to create on the same scale. She doesn't take pleasure or any other feelings into account with it, instead she simply does it. Which means hundreds millions to endless amounts of deaths are on her shoulders.

-She doesn't have a permanent profession, instead she bounces from several part-time jobs, like some of the following; Modeling, Blacksmith, Cook and Babysitter.

-Ruby is a master in the Jeet Kune Do style of fighting.

-She is completely immortal, and nothing short of her creator, Azathoth, can erase her.

-She loves to fuck with mortals though, by destroying the laws of physics, down to resurrecting their loved ones and seeing their hilarious reactions. In short, the Unnamed Darkness is quite the prankster.

-Ruby really loves the night sky. She’s a nocturnal kind of being and
looking outside always reminds her of what she is. The Absolute
Nonexistence, otherwise known as Darkness, and every time she stares up
at the starless night, she feels at home.

-Considering Ruby is an Outer God, she gets a lot of sacrifices and is worshiped by many cults alike.. Some of
which are extremely rare materials, which she straight up sells to some big corporations or the black market. She has made a lot of profit that way and is comfortably sitting on a huge amount of money.
