Cyphon

## Biography

He was… there. There at the beginning of everything. Scratch that; before the beginning of everything. It was all so silent. No sound, light, life, time, space; only being quite literally nothing. He was the only thing there in that unexplainable place. This being had no thoughts, ideas, movement or even life, regardless of him being able to ‘exist’ and be present in nothing. Being like that of a child who has yet to be born, or to gain life in a sense. It couldn’t be explained in time, as there was none; but this would go on for a while… a really long while. Only then did he show small sparks of being alive rather than being an empty shell in nothing. Growing consciousness and a slight awareness of… whatever it was.

After so long did he gain a true mind, shape and body. Yet it would be incomplete, imperfect, unfinished. Molding into something he would soon to become would not merely be enough to achieve completion; he would have to do it on his own.

And along came the creation of time.

It was still silent, yet he could feel the difference. Instead of feeling nothing on his body, he felt the forward motion of… something? It was strange to him. He was not used to feeling something that wasn’t his own physical body. It was odd… yet blissful in a way. The feeling of something progressing, flowing, continuing, and moving forward was pleasant. Only then, did something new come to exist; that being space. Space came long after time, a lot long after it. If time didn’t exist, neither did space. Soon came heat, vibration, sound, etc. Only so long after, did ‘the universe’ exist.

Skipping past the creation of the universe itself, he had finally claimed himself a residence within it. Becoming a soldier in the army, and being a known veteran amongst the people. Even being the husband of another skeleton monster, her name being Violet. Violet was a single and bright woman. Her bright and vibrant color choices on her outfits, her constant pleasant and joyful mood. All of her traits made her presence a gift of light, and her choosing Cyphon as her husband was a gift that he would be eternally grateful for.

But this world would only last for so… so long…

One morning, both Cyphon and Violet would wake to an early morning. Going along their daily routine, until they noticed how quiet it was. The town was silent, too silent. There were cars still parked, bikes on the road and sidewalk. Not even the chirps of a bird could be heard for miles. The two would get themselves fully dressed for the weather. Violet wore a brown leather coat, white gloves and hat to an addition of her usual clothing; whilst Cyphon had a black coat with black fur around the neck. As the two went to investigate, they would further see how empty their hometown was. Knocking on doors, looking through tunnels, everywhere. There was nobody in sight.

Eventually, they started to give up. Feeling as if there was nobody left but them. Only then did they encounter a tall, black and ‘faceless’ figure. It was too far to make out who or what it was, but it would advance closer, closer and closer. Eventually a visible shape could be observed. They were the exact same height that Cyphon was. They both had the same build, size and structure. Violet would try and strike a conversation with the enigmatic figure; only to get a violent response. The figure would attack Cyphon, only to show that it was nowhere near as combat adept as the war veteran; but it did have brute strength and speed comparable to him. The figure backed off, only to start distorting the space around it; creating a black pocket of nothingness as it moved. Cyphon would hold onto Violet, and would begin to transport themselves away, only for the figure to give an expression of lunacy and turned everything into nothing.

The two would find themselves in a new world. One underground instead of above the lands. Could this be their home? Or was it somewhere… new? Neither of them knew either; but this was an opportunity for the two of them. A very great one at that.

## Personality

Cyphon is a wise and stern individual. He knows every form of hand-to-hand combat like the back of his hand, and is immensely smart when it comes to tactics; let alone magic. He uses his smarts to his advantage to exploit his opponents and experience to outplay them, especially because he has seen the beginning and everything long after it. He also tends to intimidate others whenever push comes to shove, but will never resort to violence. But whenever he does get into combat, he always respects his opponent and doesn’t use any cheap tricks to gain an advantage; but rather his own magic and skill as his edge.

But when it comes to his wife, he is just a big guy with an even bigger heart. Constantly trying to hide his affection in public, but tends to slip up here and there.

## Abilities

### After-Collision

Cyphon has a strange trait that allows him to hit something multiple times after hitting someone once. If Cyphon was to attack someone in any way, they would endure the same damage but 6 times over by some invisible force. It is unknown as to how it is performed, but it is a trick that he has yet to reveal.

### Enhanced Bone Magic

One of Cyphon’s more basic abilities, being a more advanced version of the regular magic that a skeleton monster would have. Having access to materializing sharp and nearly unbreakable bones, both being used offensively and defensively. Being able to use different colored bones that have different properties, as well as creating large draconic skulls that can be used for a variety of things. A shield, a ram, a ranged weapon, etc. He can also change the way his magic works as well.

### Telekinesis

Cyphon has shown the ability to use telekinesis. It is unknown how much he can lift with it, but he has used it in plenty of cases to save others or use heavy objects to crush his opponents.

### Echo

Cyphon is able to duplicate his abilities multiple times, in fact; they constantly increase in numbers and spread out the longer he uses this ability. Allowing for overwhelming amounts of projectiles flying through the air, or even creating light-blue and transparent versions of himself that are incorporeal, yet mimic his movements and can still attack something physically. Even being able to use them at multiple angles. Being an “echo” of his attacks. (Whenever he uses Echo, the duplicates are light-blue and transparent.)

### The Moonlight Blade

Cyphon had created a great sword made from the Spark of the Ultima, which was the center of the creation of everything. Containing the power of the cosmos within its blade. The blade itself cannot be lifted or summoned by anyone but Cyphon himself, as he bound the blade to himself. Being able to make it disappear or appear at his will. The Moonlight Blade has a golden grip and golden quillons with the shape of a crescent moon; the pommel is silver with a crescent moon-like shape, and the blade itself being blue like an opal mixed with some tealish colorations flowing throughout the blade like waves on a gentle lake. And there are white stars that run along the blade, flowing slowly below the waves of energy.

The sword is capable of splitting anything further than just the atomic level, let alone granting Cyphon an immense amount of power whenever he wields it. The weapon can also create natural afterimages whenever swung, which is a transparent deep blue. Each afterimage acting as an additional sword.

### Constellation Buster

Cyphon has a pair of wings that he can materialize when needed, but those wings have a special ability to create star-like dots on them. Those dots when formed will connect to each other to the shape of Orion’s Belt before firing off beams of energy that are hotter than the largest and oldest of stars. Being able to split apart objects because of how thin and precise they are.

### The Armor of Níðhöggr

Cyphon can summon a suit of armor that is bound to him like the Moonlight Blade. This armor is completely white and has a blue sapphire in the shape of a four pointed star on the chest-piece. The helmet has a draconic appearance to it; having 3 pairs of short extensions on the back of the helmet that represent horns. There are also silver teeth aligned on the sides of the helmet as well. The armor has curved spikes facing upwards on the outer-sides of the gauntlets, back of the boots, and two long and thin plates besides the neck that are similar to that of fins. There is also a short and slightly damaged light-blue cape attached to the back. A special design feature is how the armor plating itself was shaped. Because of the armor being reflective and having crystal-like shapes that fit perfectly in the plates themselves, the armor sparkles whenever any form of light comes into contact with it; this also includes the cape as well.

Whenever something or someone is about to hit Cyphon while he is wearing the armor, time will slow down for a brief moment around him and allow Cyphon to avoid the incoming attack. If he is to parry the attack, it would reflect the damage onto his opponents. The armor also grants a tremendous increase in strength, stamina and speed. It also almost nullifies kinetic force as a whole. While not completely, just enough for him to endure more than he normally would. The armor can also create silver weaponry that is stronger than his magic and normal weapons.

And if Cyphon is to wield his Moonlight Blade and allow its power to flow into the armor, the armor will have the same appearance as the weapon’s blade itself.

### Ultima Calamity

Cyphon is able to create a vortex-like shape of energy that pulsates with that same energy that creates it. If he is to charge it up, it drains the life-energy of distant stars to build up more power within the vortex itself. Once the energy has been absorbed, the vortex will send a massive energy wave with the life of the star in one consecutive and constant blast. Not only is it devastating, but it causes things around it to crumble and ignite. Hence the calamity in its name.
