NPE Proposal: Dusk

**What's the work? Who's the villain?**

**Dusk (Full name Dusk Robins Amina)** is a major antagonist in a series of role-plays with an overarching story nicknamed the Dragon Sim Cinematic Universe. She is a highly sadistic and predatory teenage demon-dragon hybrid with a love for violence and mutilation.

**What Makes Her Close to Being PE?**

* Although Dusk depends on hunting to survive, she is well beyond a simple predator as she genuinely enjoys killing and does so in horrific ways. Her preferred methods include biting off the head of a victim, gutting them while they are still alive, or fighting them to the death. There are even times where she kills for the fun of it rather than for food.
* Idolizes her uncle Prince, a terroristic clan leader who wants to take over the world and wishes to help him succeed in his goals.
* Regularly partakes in killing sprees with her friends that very often result in the deaths of around 4-8 people, sometimes even more.
* Brutally skinned a dragon and used their scales to make a bag for her aunt Charlie. Dusk even teaches Ciry to do it too.
* Frequently engages in cannibalism as she also eats demons and dragons, despite being them herself.
* When Prince introduced a kill count system to encourage his members to kill, Dusk took it upon herself to reach the top spot and ramped up her murderous urges. Rather than only killing 4-8 people at a time, she easily reached over 10 each time she went out. Although she eventually stopped trying to reach #1, she racked up a kill count of 347 from that period.
* Mutilated her cousin Light to near death by giving him the same injuries as his father— gouging out an eye, snapping off a horn on his head, and clawing his chest open.
* After she, Death, and Storm Drake merged into one body called Phoenix, she consistently fights with Death for control to continue her wicked ways since Death holds her back from killing more. Dusk loves antagonizing her and insults her every chance she gets.
* She and Charlie executed Terrorbeak, Dusk's own uncle, when he shape-shifted into his brother Shadowclaw to spare him from being killed. Although she didn't mean to kill him as she was unaware Terror took his place, it doesn't change the fact she felt no remorse and was willing to kill her own father in the first place.
* Generally despises her biological family besides Prince and Charlie for no clear reason. Her hatred is so intense that she openly supports Prince's attempts to kill her own mother and plans to kill her sister Lonely.
* When her previous reincarnation Death was killed off, Dusk used her body parts to make a flag in honor of her clan.
* Briefly possessed Death, making her want Prince to kill her again so Dusk can come back to life.
* Ruthlessly fought Tobi and Riptide and almost killed them. If it wasn't for her "good" counterpart interfering and temporarily killing her, she could've been the first person to succeed in doing so.
* After gaining a staff containing the demon Eschaton's soul, she uses it to destroy the environment with natural disasters and to kill even larger qualities of people. She then trapped their souls inside the staff, essentially dooming them to a fate worse than death since they're incapable of going into the afterlife.
* She, along with Ciry, poisoned many bodies of water with decay to kill off as many creatures as possible. Although the substance was removed quickly by Tobi and Riptide and there are no known victims, they clearly intended it to kill.
* For a brief amount of time, she co-owned a shop with Ciry for selling bones from her victims.
* Although the heinous standards of the DSCU are very high, she stands out enough due to her low resources, cannibalism and the skinning of dragons.
* Although she has childish and sarcastic tendencies, they often emphasize how heinous Dusk is rather than come off as comedic.

**What Prevents Her from Being PE?**

* She suffers from an intense inferiority complex that's played for sympathy. A number of her worst crimes come from desperately trying to impress and earn the respect of her uncle and clan members.
* She is shown to care for several people, such as Prince, Charlie, and the rest of her clan members.
* Has genuine standards against rape and other forms of sexual violence, as shown by her demonizing Lux for his depraved actions.

**Debated Validations**

* It's unclear whether or not Dusk has moral agency as she was created by Death's evil actions. However, she has a well-established personality and is capable of feeling positive emotions so it would a minor issue if true.
* Despite constantly arguing with Death, she may somewhat care for her "good" counterpart.
