Maverick's Ninth Body (Acceptance)

> There are things that I know that you don't know and vice versa. My reasoning for why I don't impede your privacy is simply out of modesty. But no matter what your past wields, no matter if you're weak or strong, it doesn't matter what happens before. All that matters is what we do today, because even the future that I saw, can be changed by people the likes of you are completely capable of.
>
> Maverick's New Ideology

> One must face their fears, one must rebel, and one must win. The curse that I have dreaded all my life, is something that I will accept wholeheartedly. That "curse" in front of me, however, is the one I should burn into memory.
>
> Maverick finally getting rid of his curse

> Pain and Suffering, are the two primary causes of good and evil. They can either make a person grow, or they can make them fall into despair. And there comes Sadness after all of it, trying to reminisce the time they were once happy, one might even try to reenact the scene over and over, just to cope with the gloominess of their surroundings. Time doesn't simply heal them, especially if you've experienced them all your life.
>
>
> Comrades will die, friends will betray, and allies will abandon, even if they say that it isn't true, there are events where that takes place. Even a perfect being can make mistakes, they too can fail. Life is but a series of challenges, one must keep moving, but one must handle all of the incoming burdens, even if they are alone or with someone else to pass it on to.
>
>
> This is how our world works, some counterfeit circumstances and rules make us question our morality, they too can be a lesson for the newer generations to prevent it from happening. But even still, this world moves on, even without us. We are merely parasites living to survive, trying our best to make a mark in the history books, knowing that it will all fade and cease, just like our lives.
>
>
> Fiction or not, this reality contains the dreams of everyone, it contains their ideology and their beliefs. They too have lives to spare and goals to accomplish, even if may seem like all of this is not real, one may view it as such; making this their escape, their one way out of this world, thinking about what will happen if they were on our shoes. A feeling of jealousy, the fact that they cannot accept their reality is heartbreaking. Their pain to survive in a cruel world, attempting their best to subsist oneself, dreaming of a world where they live a happy life.
>
>
>
> Immortal or Omnipotent, one can feel the same sense of loneliness, regret, and resentment. Because I too, have learned from all my mistakes, and that is what makes me a human, they make us learn and live with them throughout our entire lifetime.
>
> Maverick's Words

> I am not a big fan of fighting, nor do I ever judge a person if they are weak or not, a person as such is not the type of ally I'd consider. They are filled with arrogance, hatred towards everyone, and a thirst for battle, even if their goals were to create a world of peace, the thought of perfection is irrelevant when you scale it by normal things. Such a world can never exist, trust me, I've tried it myself.
>
> Maverick's thought about fighting and pursuing perfection

> Ah yes, the rule of the jungle- "where the strong survives and the weak perish"....... Well that, however, is not true. It's for the same reason why you all are here- had it been for that rule, then, sure enough, I would have killed all of you here, right as to where you stand right now.
>
>
> You see, weak is a term **not to show one's incompetence, but to show their beginning**- the start of their journey per se. Meanwhile, the strong are the ones who had already finished it and had reached their peak.
>
>
> People like them who boast and mock the ones beneath are true weaklings. They are the ones who, deep down, know that they are the same as them, but don't admit to it. This attitude can allude to people hating them for it, while in fact, the words they spout in their mouth are of a lost individual asking for help.
>
>
> Those things happen a lot during my time, as no one was helping me back then. My mind deteriorated and had gone through so many stages of grief, asking myself over and over what should my purpose be **when I had already lost them**.
>
>
> The deaths of my comrades, my friends, and my loved ones all put an impact on me. With all of it happening continuously like a broken record, one's sanity then begin to snap and almost led me into a horrible and morbid situation. Had the promises and the wills of my dead allies not reminded me of my goal, then everything would be completely....... gone.
>
>
>
> To put it simply, there are things you simply can't do alone, and even with all the power you have in your hands, they will always be there- even when it's not. Because the very enemy that we all will soon face...... **is ourselves**
>
> Maverick's thoughts when asked about the "Survival of the Fittest"

## Summary

> "... Perfection is a lie. I don't see any promises fulfilled. All I saw... was a reflection of myself... I remember everything again, but... I'm no more to the mortal world. I'm as dead as the land itself. That's when I drifted away completely... to somewhere... somewhere... where I can find... home."
>

This is it, the final push. Maverick has finally gotten rid of his curse. Although removing it completely causes things to get worse, The Neutralist finally caught up with his plans, going as far as to fight Hector Yahweh in order to prevent his condition from getting worse. After that, things somewhat go smoothly, but the enemies from the Coup took this chance to kill Maverick as he is incapable of fighting, due to the last remnants of his curse still managing to deter his mind from fighting. In his last and true final efforts to get rid of it, he and the combined efforts of his allies barely manages to create a vessel and transport himself, before all eight of his bodies began rampaging the entirety of Fiction once again.

> Give a dragon its wings, then it becomes scary. Now rid The Strongest in Fiction of his one and only weakness, then you know what happens next.
>
>

With the curse becoming his own vessel, he feels more comfortable as the thoughts that are bothering him are completely gone. He is now able to express genuine anger, fear, sadness, and happiness, without the excessive amounts of horror and confusion around it. He still has the same quiet and somewhat emotionless expression on his face, although he admits that he really has a tendency to be really cold and calculative, not without the manipulate aspect involved.

During fighting, Maverick admits that his fighting style is very inappropriate, considering that it invokes a sense of mockery to the enemy he is battling with. But even with the advice of his friends to enjoy fighting, he can't help but try to at least enjoy and have fun, given that the trauma he experienced his whole life is not that simple to forget. Now in battle, Maverick has great interests in using conventional weaponry, using the surrounding area as his weapon rather then using his own abilities, seeing as how he is very shrewd in his decision making.

## Manifesto

### Everywhere at the End of Time

(End of Time for short) Is a manifesto with an appearance of a human figure in the form of a blue and green bust, although it has unrecognizable facial features, a grey unravelling scroll on a vacant horizon, with newspaper folds similar to a brain's creases, and four wilting flowers in an abstract vase (references to "The Caretaker- Everywhere at the End of Time"). It possesses the ability to freely manipulate his curse as a weapon, enabling him to the following:

1. **Heliacal Lunary** - Gives him the ability to manipulate the Sun and Moon. The ability might be considered weak, but since Maverick is the one wielding it, the power is magnified to the utmost extent, **having no excuses as to even call it 'weak'.** With it, he can control the most advanced principles of a star: nuclear fusion, supernovae, black holes, etc. and with the Moon, however, grants him the ability to control subliminal messages, or even use the materials made from the moon as a long/close-range attack.
2. **Curse Inflicted** -With the full extent of his curse, he can now make the enemy experience his curse, **causing them to instantly cease to exist, removing them from the story.**
3. **Disappearance** - Maverick can simply cease to exist, **enabling him to interact with Non-Fiction and any dimension inside or outside of it, regardless of restriction or limitations.** This applies to anyone he chooses to disappear, causing them to exist due to the fact that that Fiction and Non-Fiction can never coexist together, with the one and only exception being Maverick.
4. **Procuring** - Maverick can "buy" or "sell" anything, this can range from concepts, people, items, etc, allowing him to create a "loan' on anything his target may "borrow", which can either be forced or voluntary. This means that **Maverick can simply "buy" Fiction, causing it to be his, enabling him to control anyone within or anyone outside it.**
5. **Confusions and Horror** - By using the side effects of his curse, **he can cause extreme amounts of distortion or confusion, enough to make every fictional character to befall in extreme fear.**

## Nucular Brangs

### Neurotic Psychosis Delirium

Now embodying his own distortion, he now has more cohesive and controllable techniques that he use, such as:

* **An Empty Bliss -** Raising his hand a wave-like structure begins to erupt from all directions, presenting pitch changes (the quality of sound gets more distorted, weakening anyone within vicinity), overtones (the sounds damage the victim's brain), vinyl crackle (each one of their body cracks and breaks in absurd kinds of ways), and abrupt endings (**parts of their body begin being deleted from the story**).
* **Last Moments of Pure Recall** - The phenomenon of Stage 2 Dementia "Self Realization" comes into play, by a glance of his eyes, **all will fall into despair, making them completely incapable of fighting.**
* **Hidden Sea Buried Deep** - A drowning sensation that makes the victim f**eel extreme amounts of awareness that they became insane**, this ability form as a grey mist that slowly fades away, making it impossible to detect where.
* **Temporary Bliss State** - By activating it, his eyes now appears to have the sun symbol on his left eye, and the moon symbol on his right. This enables him **to put an enemy into a state of blissfulness (hence the name), this immediately makes them unable to fight as they are put into a reality where their goals and dreams come true.** This, too, can increase his overall stats, although it isn't clear how powerful he gets as it's irrelevant to even compare his previous state to the current one.
* **Synapse Retrogenesis** - Holding out his hand towards the target, it immediately dispels the victims' blissfulness, **giving way to confusions and horror, further putting the target into a deeper void than what they were previously in.**
* **A Brutal Bliss Beyond This Empty Defeat** - A much more powerful version of **"An Empty Bliss"**, t**his gives the target innumerable amounts of anxiety, with only the distant words of their past whispering into the void,** with the emptiness to only comfort them. This, of course, instantly removes them from their story (this even includes entities in Non-Fiction).
* **Place in the World Fades Away** - For the worthy deemed by him. Maverick holds his hands, with his thumb and index-finger holding a black needle attached to a long black string, swirling around him. He can use the needle as a weapon, or he can drop it, **causing the target he specifically chooses, to be expunged and removed from reality, from fiction and completely erase their existence, which also includes their written information, the memories from what they are affiliated to, and will never, may ever, can ever come back.** By activating this, **everything in fiction gets darker,** with only Maverick being the only one glowing, **symbolizing the "death" of a dementia patient, with the "patient" being the victim, spreading his curse towards everything.**

### Factory of Cheese

An ability that he got, after his allies gives him a random idea, to help him enjoy fights longer. Again, **this ability is neither weak nor useless,** as Maverick is the one wielding it. This simply gives him the ability **to melt, trap, or possible absorb his targets with cheese.**

### Haughty Whistleblower

**A virus that ignores distances, concepts, and fictional realms**. This ability can be used as an enhancer of his weapons, or as means to heal an ally. It acts like a conventional virus with how it's behavior to always spread, **either thru contact, physical or conceptual, allowing him to easily kill a group of people.**

### Foul Taste

Vines that emit colorless gasses, which causes **them to instantly feel "disgust" on everything, including themselves, commiting suicide as soon as they are near it.**

## Pithsts-hejelnk

### Beaten Frowns After

* The scroll earlier on that was floating will now enlarge and causes the target to be completely **deteriorated of their existence, destroying them completely.**

### *Khatheinstersper*

* The four wilting flowers now spin around Maverick's hand, forming a wieldable sword with the guard being a flower pot and the blade being the four flowers, coalesced together to form a sword. With the same properties as his curse, **a single swing can destroy anything he wants.**

### Hag

* Holding his hand out, with his fingers enclosed to a fist and his palm wide open, a sprawl of erratic patterns resting in a murky green void begin to emerge from his hand, **deleting them from their story.**

### Giltsholder

* The human figure in a blue and green bust forms itself into an armor that Maverick can clad**, to further increase his overall stats,** allowing him to spread his distortions throughout the battlefield, **disorienting his enemies completely.**

### *Eptitranxiscers*

* A marble-like staircase, juts out from the location of activation. These stairs can be used as transport and to crush or stab a target with them, **giving immense pain and horror to the victim.**

### *Necrotomigaud*

* Maverick **summons a blank canvas to completely erase fiction from the very core, with nothing left but himself.**

## Weapons

Mastering five of the most difficult weapons to use, Maverick is able to combat an enemy without the necessity to utilize his abilities:

### Dislodge Haul

- A modern design on an Atlatl, with the dart shaft and spur all being made from lightweight metal, and **the** **dart itself having a very sharp tip**. Considering Maverick's new fighting style, he prefers to snipe people from afar and immediately rush in the battlefield once he gets a hit.

### Conflagration Holocaust

- A reforged and renew design of an old Cheirosiphon, a handheld flamethrower used to set fire on enemy ships. With the nozzle, pump, container, valve, and a brazier being made out of lightweight fireproof materials. It is attached to the back of his hip, with a long metal chain linked to his right wrist bracelet. The fire it shoots **makes the victim weaker**, with the flame it emits are made from lead, cadmium, mercury, and nickel **which suppresses the target's immune system.** Of course**, the flame bypasses resistances or nullifications like any other weapon**, making it relatively dangerous to anyone hit by it.

### Confronter's Bulwark

- Although they were made especially for being hard to use and impractical, **Maverick is still able to use them with such precise movement.** The shield has two pointed edges at its top and bottom, with a long handle behind the metal plating protecting him. When not in use, the shield is collapsible, shortening its size by half and kept to his hip, connected by a long chain to his left hand bracelet. When in use, however, he expands the shield to its original size and spins it around and holds it above his head, having a charging stance before fighting.

### Candelabrum

- A better and much safer version of the Lantern Shield, a small shield combined with a small circular shield – a buckler – combined with a lantern, or a hook from which to hang a lantern, intended to blind the opponent at night or in duels fought at dawn. Some more elaborate examples might incorporate gauntlets, spikes, sword blades, and also a mechanism to alternatively darken or release the light of the lantern.

As for Maverick's case, **the sword blade, shield, and the spikes are all detachable, leaving only the gauntlet and the lantern contraption.** What makes it complicated is how **each part are connected by a long metal string to the gauntlet, allowing Maverick to grab them mid-air to come up with amazing combinations**, making this his go-to weapon, which it kept on his left leg strapped to a belt.

### Aasis's Blade

A sword of Aasis, passed down to him that given by Golem, thanks to him completing the condition for acquiring the weapon which was removing his curse. A pure black shortsword, with black chains attached to the pommel, the right edge having three jutted-out blades at the central edge, fuller, and ricasso. Meanwhile, on the left edge, has the same design but the blade attached to the ricasso is larger with a glowing blue material inside. The guard is facing away to the right edge and is one-sided with two edges crossing each other forming a maw, there are black and blue parts wrapping around the guard, with complicated designs. The chain in the pommel has three rings at the end, which can held by Maverick through his thumb, index and middle finger. They can also be attached to the guard, making a knuckle guard when held backhanded.

It's ability is focus and manipulate "Shadow Energy", which is specialized by Aasis and is perfected by Maverick, allowing him to perform better feats than what Aasis had achieved.
