Darklord

## Saxas Vor'Rakmi, the Darklord

The **Darklord** is a cosmic Ultralossian tyrant who rules over his whole planet and has formed an empire around his vision of conquering all sentient intelligent species in the universe, starting with the galaxy. He considers his own race and kingdom to be the only things worthy of surviving in it. His voracious reputation and unfathomable genocide instilled fear throughout the galaxy.

In the universe of **Nexonia Prime: PROJECT**, he founded the PROJECT corporation with the intention of colonising the planet Nexonia Prime following several *failed* invasion efforts.

## Biography

### Origins

Thousands of years ago, before mighty Darklord took The Throne of Colossus, he was a warrior named **Saxas Vor'Rakmi** and was heavily obsessed with the unholy Freedom Repellant, a transcendental mathematical formula that eradicates free will. After locating the Equation on the planet Nexonia Prime, he ultimately travelled there with an enormous invasion force, planning to take the power of the Equation and use the seemingly weak planet as a test run for his newfound power.

Unfortunately, the Omegas supported the warriors of Nexonia, causing the Darklord's army to be slain and he was eventually injured by Thundercracker, then Radriar Prime added insult to injury by throwing him back to his flagship, eventually sending all of his forces to leave. Because of the severity of his injuries, he was kept in an unconscious state for thousands of years, a defeat he will never forget.

However, by the time he recovered from his near-fatal injuries on Colossus, and likely as a result of losing against what the Colossians considered a primitive planet, the position of power he once held had become almost nonexistent, and the loss of Saxas' influence resulted in a vicious war that by the time he returned to power, thousands of years had passed, and those who had joined him on his failed crusade on Nexonia Prime had all been wiped out. As a result, the exact location of the Freedom Repellant and which planet held it, as well as the whereabouts of the power, were lost to him, who, after ascending as the ruler of Colossus, embarked on a search that spanned thousands of years and the conquest of countless planets in order to find the Freedom Repellant once more.

### The Galaxy's Numero Uno Tyrant

**Saxas Vor'Rakmi**, the planet's ruling dictator, now known as the Darklord or Dreadlord, abused his vast position and unrivalled power for millenia. He has "adopted" (actually abducted) his own alien children from many species, making them into his most lethal warriors in a personal army known as the *Necromantic Order*; and he has harnessed the power of Omni Stones, which have been found by his second-in-command, Kroshman Rikavi.

As a result, the Darklord has established the Dread Legion. This empire has essentially absorbed their erstwhile friend, the Baszler Separatist Alliance, into their empire, effectively rooting out the separatists who oppose him. The Galactic Republic was the only faction against which his empire had even odds. They efficiently target the Galactic Republic's weakest planets in order to assault Nexonia Prime.

### Nexonia-Colossus War

Colossus Prime and Nexonia Prime engaged in a century-long galactic war that resulted in massive losses for both planet and the surrounding cosmos. However, much to his chagrin, the Dread Legion has FAILED on multiple invasion efforts since 2910. As a result, he intends to lead a whole Dreyfarian Armada against Nexonia Prime, hoping to push his forces to the enemy planet and gradually ensure victory.

Despite his attempts, the Omegas, most particularly the Sentinels, have interfered with their quest. Using more advanced technology and greater firepower to the Colossians, they effectively halted the Dreyfarian Armada, allowing the Darklord to entrench himself back to the planet Colossus Prime. As a result, he makes a pledge to assassinate the Sentinels, but they are nowhere to be found.

### An Unexpected Demise

The Darklord views the complete might of the Nexon Space Command's troops after a long but seemingly effortless defence of his planet from invading nevian soldiers. To his delight, he sees an invasion force battling his vast dominion. As the Dread Legion, Necromantic Order, and Lord's Elite proved to be a worthy match for the entire might of Nexonia Prime, the tables were turned when more and more vehicles and soldiers were deployed, as well as Iron Man unexpectedly appearing to decimate a large portion of the Lord's Elite, much to his chagrin.

To establish his value, the Darklord takes matters into his own hands, defeating Iron Man while murdering hundreds, throwing multiple tanks into the air, and annihilating battalions with his heat vision. The deployment of Nexonia Prime's most powerful soldiers, the KNIGHTs, follows. He spends his time in the FRUmloak mountain range brooding after failing to preserve his entire empire. He also appears to be mourning the death of Aelia Proxima. BISHOP-805 confronts him with cold-heartedly, intending to kill the galaxy's number one threat.

### Death

BISHOP-805 meets the Darklord fearlessly and without hesitation. As a result, he mocks him for being overconfident and arrogant when confronted with him alone. The latter replies coldly that if he eliminates the galaxy's number one tyrant, his remaining empire will collapse under their own weight because they lack a leader to expand and conquer. He is insulted, and as a result he fired his heat vision against him, prompting BISHOP-805 to dodge, but ends up getting hit afterwards. The latter shoots his eyes to temporarily blind him, much to the Darklord's annoyance.

Due to this, he finally saw BISHOP-805 as a worthy opponent. But he taunts him for blinding him, as it will deal not much effect to him, knowing that he is a god. The two engage in Hand-to-hand combat; BISHOP-805 was able to hold his own against the Darklord, taking advantage of the god's minimalistic fighting style. However, BISHOP-805 starts to lose afterwards, allowing the Darklord to use his brute strength against him. Much to his dismay, the latter's armour is capable of withstanding his blows.

While he was able to break BISHOP-805's right arm and leg, he proceeds to deliver a killing blow, only for the latter to use adrenaline to heal his fractures; And stabs him in the mouth with three battery packs that are used in the IO8 GALILEAN Plasma launcher. When he is placed in a chokehold, the Darklord tries to kill him, which he succeeds, but his opponent had a crafty maneuver up his sleeve. The Darklord does not know his nape is strapped with a highly powerful explosive.

BISHOP-805, surprisingly, had outwitted the Darklord by strapping an I08 GALILEAN battery pack to his nape and proceeding to utilise the detonator, even though his head was effectively burnt, to kill the Darklord with the plasma explosive. The death of the Darklord demoralised Colossus Prime, causing his remaining forces to lose strength and cause a massive disarray.

## Legacy

Despite the Darklord's galactic-level death, which has shattered his empire, stunned everyone, and caused a great outcry in the galaxy, he has one final aim or vision for anyone powerful enough to carry on his legacy. His vision for defeating the planet Nexonia Prime was to create a megacorporation that would effectively colonise the planet in a short amount of time, and once the planet was effectively enslaved and colonised, anyone could have the opportunity to detonate the planet's core, if everything went as planned.

## Personality

Raised on the hellish pits of Colossus Prime, the Darklord has been famously known for his tremendous megalomania, seeing in himself as the true ruler of the entire universe known to all beings. He is the ultimate physical manifestation of malevolence, terror, genocide and destruction. Those who have tried to battle him are very impossible to defeat him and he expressed his cosmic power over them.

He is truly formidable, believing himself to be the one who turned trillions of planets into dust while searching for those who have already defeated him. Furthermore, the Darklord is immensely obsessed with achieving his aims, particularly colonising Nexonia Prime through the establishment of PROJECT corporation. As a result, he does not fear death, as long as he achieves his goals.

In short, his overall personality is pure hatred personified; primarily due to his beliefs that the Galactic Republic's vast territory and influence on the EXM63 Galaxy are "only" depriving the universe's resources and will be the source of their demise, and that Colossus Prime is the only planet worthy of ruling the galaxy.

## Abilities

The Darklord possesses numerous astounding powers and abilities. That made him a terrifying legend among the entire culture of the EXM63 Galaxy; some believe he can turn the devil from the planet Nexonia Prime known as Astaroth into nothing more than an ordinary savage brute.

### Powers

* **Ultralossian Physiology**: The Darklord is an *Ultralossian*, a superior form of the Colossians. This grants him god-like powers and apparent immortality.
	+ **Godlike Strength**: The Darklord is endowed with godlike superhuman strength. He is capable of lifting over a hundred tonnes and striking through the hardest armour with relative ease!
	+ **Omega Heat Vision**: A powerful type of heated energy shot out of his eyes that may either operate as a concussive force to overpower an opponent or as a disintegration agent capable of removing organisms or objects from existence; it has the speed of a plasma bullet, but it can also fire in a perfectly flat trajectory.
	+ **Godlike Durability**: He is invulnerable to most attacks. The Darklord even survived getting lodged by magically powerful spears throughout his entire body and survived through a fit of rage!
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: His speed is insane. He can run at the speed of 50 miles per hour without much difficulty. However he can headstart a set amount of distance by bracing one leg in a similar fashion to leaping.
	+ **Telepathy**: He is capable of telepathic manipulation.
	+ **Size Alteration**: If he gets badly wounded, he can choose to alter his size for up to 50 feet tall, though he can grow as large as 600 feet, it would easily consume his stamina at a great cost, so he uses it in a last resort; There are even reports that claimed that Darklord can be as large as an asteroid, though it is unconfirmed and lacking evidence.

### Skills

* **Brilliant Tactician**: Being the leader of the Dread Legion, it is certain that Markov is an excellent strategist in terms of battle, politics, trade or every situation at hand.

## Trivia

### General

* The Darklord is not merely a ruler but is worshipped as a deity by the inhabitants of Colossus Prime. He is seen as their god, leader, and unifier, and his image adorns countless buildings, structures, and places of worship across the planet. Even on other planets within the galaxy, murals featuring his likeness can be found, a testament to the fear and reverence he commands.
* Vor'Rakmi's height is 8 feet and 9 inches, while his boots give him additional 2.75 inches of his massive stature.
* Battlefield reports indicate that his skills are usually focused on brute force since his strength is more than enough to annihilate a normal opponent. He's basically a "God Craig Taggart".
* Some say he can give Astaroth a run for his money. This means he is his equal or superior in terms of overall power level.
* He has purple skin through birth, but was turned into greyish stone due to the planet's intense heat and unforgiving cosmic radiation.
* He does not give a damn on his subordinates, the Darklord would not hesitate to kill any of them if they question his orders and decisions. Though that can be said otherwise for his "adopted" daughter Aelia Proxima, whom was his Necromantic Order's best fighter.
* Darklord's bones are made from "Colossian metal", in natural way, which explains his god-level strength and speed.
* His skin takes on a rock-like, greyish texture, a result of enduring the relentless cosmic radiation and extreme heat on Colossus Prime. This transformation has made his skin exceptionally tough and durable, mirroring the inhospitable environment of his homeworld.
* The Darklord's preferred method of punishment for his subordinates, including the members of the Necromantic Order, is through the use of his Desecration beam. Depending on the severity of the failure, he may choose to employ this powerful energy weapon in a non-lethal manner to subdue and discipline his underlings. In more extreme cases, the Desecration beam can be used to erase an individual from existence, making it a fearsome and effective tool of punishment.

### Developmental Notes

* If Darklord had not died at the hands of BISHOP-805, Muldoon Lundgren would not have risen to power and used PROJECT to colonise the planet through global oppression, Ashe would not have been killed by ANNIHILATOR, and Madeleine would not have become a warrior like her mother, Ashe. Furthermore, if the Nevians did not defeat the Colossians in the war that forced the latter species to form a megacorporation, the entire fictional **Nexonia Prime: PROJECT** and its subsequent storylines would not exist. In conclusion, the Darklord was responsible for the success of the fictional series' events.
* Beneath his stone-like exterior, the Darklord's veins flow with purple blood, a stark reminder of his extraterrestrial origins and unique physiology.
* He boasts a distinctive, thick forehead reminiscent of the iconic features of Darkseid, adding to his menacing visage.
* His role in the prequel was vital, setting up the events of future storylines. This proves that the Darklord has a long lasting impact through evil, particularly those who followed his tyrannical approach. If he wasn't killed, then the *PROJECT-G/NEX Chronicles* will not happen at all.
* At first glance, the Desecration Heat Vision may appear to move at the speed of conventional plasma bolts, giving the impression of a slow-moving energy attack. However, this is a deceptive facade. In reality, these beams are incredibly fast, with the capability to reach speeds of up to Mach 10. This astonishing velocity allows them to catch up to and target even the swiftest of opponents.
* Unlike some energy-based attacks that require the user to maintain direct eye contact with the target, the Darklord's Desecration Heat Vision operates independently of his line of sight. He does not need to focus directly on his opponent to unleash these devastating beams. This feature further adds to the terror of facing the Darklord, as it allows him to attack from unexpected angles and catch his adversaries off guard.
* One of the most menacing aspects of the Desecration Heat Vision is its unpredictable tracking ability. The beams can make instant and sharp turns mid-flight, making it nearly impossible for targets to evade them through conventional means. Even if an opponent possesses superhuman speed or reflexes, they may find themselves unable to outrun or dodge the relentless pursuit of these deadly beams.
