Calamity is an entity that originated from a verse known as Afterverse. Peculiar and ambiguous, he shows no clear motive beside making one single person proud.

## Biography

Calamity's true origin is unknown, though one thing that is certain is that he has always had one thing in mind: make the maker proud. In his multiverse, Calamity had initially massacred the Universal Protector and Inspirer, Ink (who strangely resembles qualities exactly like the one in the Terumverse.) and took form of him, fooling others by his appearance. The masquerade that Calamity played never truly ended, as he had always intended to play the show as the role of Ink. While there were many differences in clothing, such as a strange red splatter, nobody ever questioned the origin for this. After all, Ink was a painter, so stylistic differences in artists hadn't been too strange. However, one thing that DID change was Error and Ink's feud between one-another. Error hadn't dared face Calamity in the same way that he had with Ink, as he knew the difference right off the bat, despite his general ignorance to things such as that.

For many years, Error had hunted down Calamity with the goal of avenging his lost rival, for reasons that could possibly be a feeling of remorse for Ink after all the years, or maybe even just an egotistical act of anger for how he wasn't the one to pull the plug. Nevertheless, Error failed. Calamity had successfully fooled almost everyone in his multiverse, and all he had left to do is make his architect proud. However, this was short lasted. Calamity had been under the radar of Multiversal Anomalies long ago, due to the severity his events had on his Multiverse. As a result of this, an ancient Eternal by the name of Clysm had gotten a hold of him, originally captive as a slave. Calamity had cleverly broken out, as his shapeshifting ability fooled even Clysm's most clever members. However, before he could escape, Clysm had already learnt of it. Rather than simply wasting off Calamity, Clysm knew he had potential. So, he made him a simple offer. Help him build an empire, and he will help Calamity with his passion of making that one specific person proud.

Calamity had no reason to reject.

### Personality

Initially, Calamity is a kind and supportive person that attempts to motivate, inspire and keep all things peaceful. He is respectful and very understanding, even coming off as super empathetic at most occasions. He has a knack for being very apologetic at times, even when the thing isn't his fault in the first place. However, despite his kindness, this can come off as a bad thing for certain moments. Calamity's support can go both ways, whether the thing discussed is good or bad. If a suicidal person wished to die, he'd be glad to give them the final push to do it. If someone had cruel thoughts, he'd be the trigger to carry that from mind to reality. Above all, he doesn't really truly care. It's all just a simple facade.

Though, there is one thing that Calamity truly cares about; his creator. Calamity has an unwavering addiction to his creator, and nothing can ever possibly push him away from it. He lives to follow in their image, and will break every single emotional trait he has to make them happy, whether it's at the cost of another's sanity, or even his own. Calamity's creator is the one thing that lets others control him, as that is the one way to make him truly not treat you as nothing more than a thing for his creator to be pleased by. While he would waste anyone for his creator, no matter how close he may get to them, he will show genuine respect and empathy for you if you were to share mutual care for his creator. That's all it takes for him to feel. If you would insult his creator, he'd react furious, the only time he'd actually have issues to *not* directly attack you physically. His creator is his one and only real emotional weakness due to his knowledge about his creator's history.

Despite that, Calamity having the ability to completely eradicate ones mind, his offensive abilities are for most of the time out of his hands. He might seem like the person who would fight, but he doesn't. He is a passive entity who will be only verbal. Whenever someone else though would attack him, he'd reply with defending himself or escaping the battle field. It's a trait his creator gave him, so he wouldn't accidentally kill everyone he comes across with if he transmutated to for example a serial killer for a period of time and gained their traits as his own. Though at the end of it it wouldn't even matter.

## Abilities

### Transmutation

Calamity is capable of dispersing his cells into a strange, goop-like liquid that can solidify into another shape of being. The maximum mass he can adapt into is unknown, though he has not been shown to transmutate into an entity of extreme size. Whenever he transmutates, he gains certain emotional traits of them that naturally adapt into his empty soul to make him feel things. A prolonged effect of transmutation is that doing so tends to make him carry either physical or mental traits from the entity he transmutated into, suggesting that the longer he is in that form, the more it effects HIM personally.

#### Ink Formation

Alongside gaining a whole new shape, he can also form items below 20kg out of the very liquid he is made out of. This can take the property of pretty much anything except plasma.

### Pocket Dimension

Calamity can embed himself into a shield of ink, enclosing himself off from the world around him. In doing so, he is able to then burst the ink bubble and reappear in a whole other location, even to the extent of another timeline/universe. It is suggested that the reasoning behind this is due to his ink shield not protecting HIM, yet protecting the entire area he enclosed. Because of this, it can re-emerge at another location through completely destabilising the location protected to resummon it somewhere different.

### "Positivity"

Calamity has a strange, beautifully textured book made from a red leather that has gold-bronze plating for the name. This book is named "Positivity." Upon opening the book, the first pages are that of a personality test, simple questions that aren't all that engaging, nor boring. Upon answering five questions, you will be granted with a page of a comic book that foretells the beginning to an intriguing story, based on the questions answered. Having a sudden positive influence by the endearing artistic style and enthralling plot, you will have a sudden urge to continue answering. This naturally can be easily resisted, though afterwards, it is impossible to stop. The next ten pages (given after 50 questions) will be positive, beautiful and so fantastical. However, it will then begin to show tragic moments of one's past. Whether it's a traumatic event, a mistake, this will be reimagined in the style of this fantasy world, beginning to turn that innocent joy given into a severe depression. Then, slowly, it will crawl up to the moments just before they met Calamity. And then, whenever they reach the penultimate page, they are asked only one question: **Do you want to know how to fix your worries?** If you answer no, then Calamity will simply take the book and leave you depressed and in shame. However, if you answer yes, you will get one final comic book panel: **Kill yourself.** At that moment, you will be completely entranced into a desperate need for suicide, causing you to kill yourself in the quickest way possible, painless or painful. Then, your blood/dust will embed into the book and add another page for the next victim. Calamity can easily disperse this emotional state at will, yet he commonly chooses not to.

#### The Black Cat

If you reject Calamity's final page, you will be left in a constant, dreadful state of shame and hatred. You will hallucinate of a black cat with a red bell chained to its neck, always following you where you go as a sign of your despair. Eventually, the day you finally give up on life, your final nightmare will be of it mauling your unconscious body as you feel it all, bit by bit.

## Weaknesses

Calamity is weak to hot areas, as the temperature can dry out his ink and cause him to decay slowly. While it's very unlikely for the decay to force him to reveal his true form, it mainly just weakens his magic.

Calamity's emotional gain is also a major factor in his weakness, as being Ink for so long gave him certain kind traits that make him tend to befriend people very easily if they are aware of his creator.

## Relationships

Calamity has an unyielding bond with his Creator, and nothing whatsoever can change that. He also has a decent connection to Clysm.

## Trivia

* Calamity is one of the most formidable opponents in the Terumverse, despite how he doesn't necessarily have any proper destructive abilities.
* He absolutely loves instant noodles. Almost addicted to it.
