**Character info**: Roy was once one of the strongest Kemiya’s in the world, when Alexander Walsh, Raymond Wood and a young Shane Wiseman were high on the ranks, but Roy changed dramatically when in battle he used his darkness but overused it and lost his good side to his inner evil. Now Roy has become more dangerous than ever. His huge size and stature gives him a great advantage as do his new found powers. Roy has no mercy left, no remorse, conscience, nothing. Only pure evil. His power is still great enough but like him Dark Kemiya’s are unranked but his power level puts him in the top 20 Kemiya’s

**Theme Tune**: Funeral March - Frederic Chopin

**Powers**:

**Gold Manipulation:**

He can manipulate the gold piece he carries into almost any shape or form he desires to almost any size due to the alchemic symbol of Gold on his upper right shoulder. This `Personal Piece` is considered unbreakable due to his power of control. He can maintain focus on a maximum of 2 different gold pieces by touch, or one gold piece though sight and make it near unbreakable by magical or physical means unless the touch or focus are broken, or if a force over 65 tons is applied. He can't make his Gold any mechanical weapon or any object that requires non Gold components, like a lighter.

**Gold Creation**: He can also create Gold from all forms of matter, solid or gas, due to the transmutation circles on his palms. Metals are the easiest forms of matter to transmutate and control.

**Soul Sensing:** Roy can sense the souls of other people to tell if they are weak or strong. This unique ability allows a Kemiya to find his destined apprentice, one who has a dormant Kemiya ability. Roy can detect distortions within the soul, possessions, evil etc but sensing these traits are all Roy can do in that area

**Spiritual Energy blasts**. Roy can focus his spiritual power over his fingers and shoot it out at an opponent. It is very powerful especially if Roy puts a lot of his power into the blast itself. The blast is coloured black

**Enhanced Strength/Resilience:** Roy's size and power grant him far above average strength. At most Roy can lift 5 tons. He can punch through brick walls and break metals with considerable ease. Since Roy is constantly in Darkness form he is immune to pain. If he is stabbed, shot or beaten it won't even register with him. He can take a battering, but he is not invulnerable. If his head is taken off he dies. If he stabbed and slashed enough times and doesn't heal his body he can also die but it would take a lot to do so

**Regeneration**: Roy can use his own spiritual power to heal his body from any wound, even regenerate lost limbs, but this requires some of his spiritual power to do. Any wounds he receives don't heal instantly unless Roy wills it

**Short Range Teleportation:** Roy can shift himself from one position to another in a mere blink of an aye, but his range is only 20 metres at maximum

**Puter Tactus:** Roy’s most devastating power. He can placed any part of his body against any surface and rot it away. This power works on anything, even magic barriers and human flesh. It is a virtually absolute power. If Barragan power works on someone’s arm, the only way to stop it spreading is to remove the arm itself

**Other Powers:** Like all Kemiya’s Roy can use alchemy not only to create and manipulate Gold but to break apart almost any solid material by severing the molecular bonds. Roy can also exhert his spiritual power in the area around him. Those near Him will feel a great pressure on their bodies making it hard to breathe or even stand. This is mainly used as an intimidation tactic as it is not painful, just uncomfortable. Roy can also put his spiritual power into his Gold and use it to cut through solids and even liquids at distance and even break solid materials apart. Given Roy’s ability to transmute materials he can touch an object and know its exact composition and molecular structure so long as the elements are man made.

**Fighting Style:** Roy's tactics haven't changed much even before he fell to the darkness. He was always considered a very strong attacker, given his size, strength and weapon of choice. Now Roy is so aggressive he will not stop attacking, putting up no defence what so ever. He may dodge power based attacks or even those aimed at his head but he will press hard making sure his opponent doesn't get the chance to attack or even counter attack

**History:**

**Buried in the Rubble**

Roy was born to a rich family in Africa, but was taken to live in America when he was 2 years old. He grew up in Texas with only 2 parents, and no siblings. When Roy was 6 a Tornado passed through northern Texas. The Lubbock Tornado took the lives of his parents. Roy was buried under the rubble of his house but was saved by a Gold Kemiya, Javier Esposito. Javier took Roy to Mexico, up in the mountains area and trained him as a Kemiya. By the time he was 10 Roy was just under 5ft tall then when he was 15 he was close to 6ft tall. He passed his release fight when he was 15, 9 years after his mentor saved him. He first headed to America.

**A Terror Presence**

When he was 18 he had reached the height of 7ft tall, a near horrific sight to most other Kemiya’s. It didn't take Roy long to establish a fearsome reputation for his stature, strength and powerful weapon. Roy already had 5 kills under his belt before he was 18. He travelled to Europe, landing in Paris in 1982. He took out another Kemiya in Calais then travelled to London, where he attended the Live Aid concert, sensing a great power there. Alexander Walsh, but he couldn't challenge him. Roy travelled all around Europe, through Norway and Sweden to Denmark, taking out anyone who came before him. With a figure of 15 kills after doing a full circle of Europe. Roy felt his darkness grow stronger, but he never used it. He could hear the voice whispering in his head.

**The Voice in the Head**

Roy travelled to Asia in 1995. He found his opponents were becoming tougher, in that they were faster in the east and more skilled with a blade but Roy's resliance, control and sheer power easily overwhelmed any opponent he came across. Roy faced an opponent in Japan but found himself outmatched in all forms against one of the top 5 Kemiya’s of the time, Lee Bu. Roy was beaten and had conceded the fight. His opponent swung down but Roy's darkness appeared and grabbed his opponent sword, barehanded and took him apart with ease. Due to Roy's lack of practice with the darkness technique, Roy could not regain control...leaving his darkness firmly in control.

**The Dark Kemiya**

Roy was lost leaving his darkness free to wreak havoc on who ever stood before him, taking out another 4 Kemiya’s. Roy's good side struggled to regain control but he could not. Roy and his darkness fought an inner battle but Roy's better side lost, giving the Darkness complete control and the ability to call on Roy's better side without losing any control. Dark Roy's rampage was quelled slightly. After tearing through Europe again Roy decided to head to the United States to tear it apart as well. He arrived in Washington DC. His imposing figure made sure everyone stayed clear of him, even normal people. Roy was never really bothered by many people. His first Kemiya victim was in Pittsburgh in 2000. He moved further west, killing 3 more Kemiyas. Word began to spread of the Dark Kemiya in America. He travelled around the country many times over the next 5 years until everything changed in 2006

**The Enemy**

Roy had heard about Maurice Soult becoming the prodigy and making the world of Kemiya's more streamlined and controlled. This posed a problem for Roy as he could not only be found and taken down, but others would avoid him. He decided to leave the United States and returned to Europe in late 2006. Roy went on the hunt but was never able to kill any of the top ranked Kemiyas. In 2008, he came across KK05, a Kemiya machine. Roy found himself challenged by the machine and even defeated due his power being depleted. Roy used the last of his power to break part of the bridge he was on and was swept away by the river. Roy recovered quickly enough and decided to travel East.

**His Personal Curse**

Roy was not tracked as he headed through the middle East, through Iraq. He occasionally added to the mayhem and killed several US soldiers but was shot in return. Roy's power of healing kicked in and he killed the soldiers in return. He crossed into Iran and got into another fight with a Kemiya in the mountain region. Roy struggled to catch his opponent he was quick and fast, while Roy was worn down. His opponent was forced to withdraw after he got worn down, but Roy could not pursue. Roy pressed on to India in 2009 where he killed a man in a bar, choking him to death. Roy left but was tracked down by the man's sister, a witch. She used her power to put him into a magical coma. It was a struggle but she succeeded. Roy Barragan was chained up, placed into a coffin and was buried

**Back with Vengeance.**

Roy remained in his prison until early 2023 when the witch was killed in a car accident. Roy was freed and managed to get out of his coffin. He quickly went on a murder spree of anyone he could find. Roy then decided to travel back to Europe, where he again made his presence felt, causing Oliver to put together a team of Kemiya to try and stop him. He travelled through the Balkans region where he came up against Shane Wiseman. The two men fought a hard battle but Shane offered Barragan an alliance. Barragan agreed to travelled with Shane to Bonn, engaging with Musica, Oliver Muller and Jenny Serov along with a few other Kemiya's. He made a few killed but was almost killed by the emergance of Musica's darkness. Forced to retreat, he travelled with Shane to Mumbai to find Francois Banki
