### Personality

Tophat is a persona that Imperixis dawns in almost every situation, an outer layer to prevent his emotions from unleashing on anything that impacts his goals and purpose. Tophat is the guard to Imperixis' true feelings, and its how it always will be for him under any circumstance.

Under the persona of Tophat, he is an eccentric, confident individual with an ego bigger than his hat. With pride and an exertion of constant dominance, he often comes off as intimidating from how unphased he looks. Standing proud, Tophat is very mannerful to those around him. He likes to speak in an overly posh tone to people that treat him as someone above just to mock him, yet displays his more "true" side to those that don't try to keep his ego lifted. Tophat is an avid enjoyer of dark humour, though likes to dabble in the odd prank every now and then. This often makes him come off as bipolar, though it's usually just a result of his interests shifting gradually at each given moment.

At times, Tophat may treat life as if it's some great show due to some unknown information he possesses that gives him enough reasoning to display such. He has a tendency to emit his voice in such an exuberant way that it may come off as obnoxious, though lacks any form of genuine bother. Tophat can get very rowdy whenever he's bothered, not hesitating to engage within a fight the moment somebody steps up to him. He's a "act first, talk later" kind of guy, whether it's a fight, conversation or anything. He always likes to show before telling. He is extremely dramatic, and often takes the role as the main person in a situation whenever present. Rather than being an extension of his ego, it's instead just a thing he does because he likes getting the opportunity to talk shit to anyone he can.

Following the events of Perlixia, Tophat had lost his ego, yet as an extension, partially lost his immaturity. While completely capable of taking a situation serious, the predicament he finds himself in often makes him take it passively. With a role such as "King" being in his title, he sees it more funny than ego-inducing. As a result of such exaggerative predicaments, he tends to then expand his showman attitude as much as he can, making it a play to remember for certain. He also has an Irish accent, for some reason.

Tophat is not afraid to show his emotions in any circumstance. If something annoys him, he'd be the first person to mention it, commonly through the means of light banter. However, annoyance alone isn't enough to actually phase Tophat. Tophat is impervious to most forms of emotional manipulation, as he knows a liar when he sees one. With a smug attitude, he often disregards any form of insult to him, seeing it as people failing to "cope." On that note, Tophat also tends to enjoy mockery in situations involving those trying to hurt them. He has no real moral side towards those that are trying to disrupt him, and he'd showcase it. Not through battle, though instead through simply mocking them.

While Tophat commonly is eccentric, he does have a chill side, one he often flourishes when nothing is happening at all. Still prideful, he often likes to remain rather calm. While he is very exuberant in his tone, it doesn't disrupt his groovy posture, commonly walking around to either mock royalty, or walk as if he was listening to a groovy song. As a result, people believe he's perfectly memorised every single instrumental to Come And Get Your Love and lyric. **He has.** When behaving this way, it's often that he can be the most intimidating. Whether it's a planet-destroying foe, his calm manner always exceeds a feeling of authority.

Deep below this persona lays a quiet, slightly confident specimen that hasn't truly exposed themselves in the light of day. He has became so used to the persona of Tophat that it has moulded into his true self. However, it is still speculated that there is a bit of Imperixis laying beneath the welded persona, able to open up once more under a possible situation. One very obvious part is whenever Tophat is *truly* angered. As impossible it may seem, there is a chance that someone may engage Tophat in such an emotional frenzy that he may display the side of Imperixis that can never go away. The one part that people would wish to go away. Silent, cold and waiting. Waiting to showcase just how little he is willing to hold back on the violence he would show.

He also hates the British.

## Abilities

### Conjuration

Tophat is capable of affecting particles within the location surrounding him, altering their atomic structure, shape and function to suit any possible thing he may need. This is most commonly used in various ways to suit him, whether it's in battle or through simple preference. Whenever Tophat utilises this ability, he must have concentration on its shape and function, otherwise it will dissipate to its original structure. Each creation is around the blue colour palette, and is capable of being made with a certain momentum.

#### Object Conjuration

The most common usage of Tophat's Conjuration is the formation of various barriers, weapons, platforms and other strangely shaped objects that can work to benefit him. He commonly tends to use brick, though things such as steel can be beneficial, aside from the cold feeling it has. He can often summon walls that attack others with accelerating momentum, and he loves doing it. It's something he often uses for comedy.

#### Vibration Conjuration

Tophat is capable of exerting various oscillations in any oxygen (or oxygen-like substitute)-filled location, emitting vibrations that can even reach deadly levels. He has mastered this specific part of Conjuration so that he may generate any noise he wants, including music. It gives him the ability to mimic other voices, too. He likes to mock various politicians with it.

### Psuedoperception

Tophat is able to alter the perception of any being, magically configuring their perception of the world to such a powerful degree that they can interact with said fictives. These are not actually real, however can still be very dangerous. For example, Tophat may be able to make someone perceive a Sun right above them, which would then trigger their homeostatic reaction to lower bodily temperatures to withstand the horrid heat, resulting in hypothermia. If they are to touch one of these fake things, their mind will instinctively stop the moment their hand comes into contact with it, even touching it. This can be easily disregarded if someone helps them move their hand, as it won't stop them. It may also disrupt their nerves if they get attacked by the fake being, despite not getting damaged at all.

### Perlixia Ray

While Tophat once had a blaster, he didn't necessarily want it anymore. He loved it too much to just simply stop using it, so he instead magically embedded it into his own body. Whenever he wishes to fire a blast, his throat clenches as his skeletal structure completely alters, his jaw unhinging in a violent way as his humanoid face widens in an uncanny manner, his bone structure visible through the gaping hole in his mouth. At that moment, he can fire a continuous beam that deals both thermal injuries and ultraviolet damage. If you're unlucky enough to survive the incinerating heat, you will then have to suffer under various forms of cancer for your final moments. After the blast, his anatomic structure returns. He doesn't use it often, since it both looks too disturbing for him and hurts his jaw.

### "I Am Sans Smiling Imp"

IASSI, also known as "I Am Sans Smiling Imp," is a rather confusing ability that Tophat named that way directly to harass the most repeated skeletons in the history of the Omniverse. His eyes glow an aquatic blue, allowing for him to engage within an alternated variant of his Paradoxical Energy. This allows for him to perform various abilities. Once this is activated, every single bit of matter within the timeline he is in gets its own ID number, allowing for him to do the following.

#### Paradoxical Telepotence

Tophat is capable of interacting with every bit of matter within the timeline under this state through psionic control, giving him a range of powers. He may manipulate the kinetic waves of matter, virtually allowing for him to telekinetically lift anything he wishes to. He may also be able to read minds, though he has never showcased this ability. However, he has showcased that he can input thoughts into any being's mind, specifically ones involving fatherless jokes.

#### Paradoxism

Tophat can manipulate the matter within his own body, contradicting all forms of physical laws to follow his own command. He can alter his dimensional capabilities, even ascending to control over the first three dimensions. In this state, his body is very shaky and has an effect similar to that of a VHS. He can alter the dimensional properties of the timeline in question, allowing for total mindfucks. He may also bypass all forms of kinetic energy, allowing for him to bypass lightspeed mass gain. Things such as gravity, weight, mass and matter become all but words to him. He may also, if wishing to, direct himself to another ID point in the timeline. Despite the potential of this being severe, he rarely uses this in battle, as he prefers to make things challenging for himself.

### Pls Stop

Possibly his strangest ability, Tophat is capable of completely stopping the function of reality itself, only under the circumstance that someone says something that completely confuses him. Upon the subconscious activation of this ability, the two of them are the only two able to move. Magic and matter means nothing, so the two cannot interact with one-another. Strangely enough, they can still speak. Tophat usually uses this to rant about how fucking stupid the thing they said was. Once done, time returns to how it was, back in the position they were before it happened.

### Omnislayer

This is a "form" that occurs whenever Tophat takes off his top hat and says "this isn't my final form." At that moment, a random mp3 of a random man screaming plays as his hair grows substantially, rising up and glowing yellow. He then has a blue aura surrounding him, with rocks floating around him as a random orchestra plays in the background. Literally NOTHING else happens when he does this, it's purely cosmetic.

### Tidy Up

If there is to be an event of reality-bending caused by a being that used said reality-bending in a Universe that is not the one they descended from, Tophat has the ability to completely undo every single thing that they had done to bend that reality.

* Paradox
* Perlixia

The following abilities may only be used if Tophat utilises magic attained solely through Paradoxical Magic.

### Teleportation Anchor

Use Your Legs, You Fat Cunt, also known as "Teleportation Anchor," is an ability Tophat uses to prevent entities from teleporting. This works independant of authority, as it literally just relocates them back to the point they were at prior. If they continue to try, they will then get caught in a paradox where everytime they teleport, they'll just teleport to the spot they were at before.

### Paradoxical Instinct

Tophat, upon activating this togglable ability, will then be put into a form of constant anxiety, readied for all and every attack within a fight. This makes him an expert at combat regarding hand-to-hand combat, though prevents him from using any Paradoxical abilities aside from the instinct, until he wishes to disable it.

### Suspension Field

Tophat may charge a pixel-like energy around his foot, slamming the ground. At that moment, anything in an 18m² radius will be heavily reduced in momentum, processing and function. Tophat will have his arms out in an exuberant pose, keeping the suspension field present until his fists clench. At that moment, everything resumes.

### Stabilisation

Tophat may, if need be, tighten the muscles around his hands, using the stabilised matter around his hand to then make any entity's vessel replicate such motion. This will temporarily prevent any glitching, and will also hold any unstable anomaly in place until he breaks free from said grip.

### Pincher Beam

Tophat is capable of directly firing a beam out from his palm, which then splits out into two and hones in onto a target. Once it has found its target, it will then direct to each side of them, instantaneously going in to then attach back into one single ray, going straight through the target to meet up and become a single ray once more. This ability requires a lot of concentration, so is usually used to start battles, rather than be used during it.

The following abilities may only be used if Tophat utilises magic attained solely through Perlixium Magic.

### Emotional Baggage

Tophat has the capability of transforming all of his emotional feelings into a bag, its colour depending on the emotion. Tophat then may use this to either just remove any feeling he doesn't want at that moment, or beat someone to death with his emotions. While this is commonly utilised for silly jokes, Tophat seems to enjoy this a lot for actual combat. A common exploit Tophat uses is converting his sadistic enjoyment from beating someone up with it into more baggage to endlessly grow his bag.

### Bad Breaker

Tophat is capable of initiating a combo attack, consisting of two quick-paced punches against the ribs, then a final jab at the centre, which then instantaneously causes cellular death, resulting in growths of tumours around the lung region, essentially giving any opponent lung cancer. Tophat uses this specifically for references towards a TV Show.

### Shattered Fragments

With a clench of his fist, arcane symbols will ruptures around any non-sentient non-reflective surface, shattering in a moment. At that point, gravity itself will distort in the entire timeline, with black crevices that widen in a matter of seconds. Falling through these crevices will lead to an endless pit that you will never reach. Gravity is maintained on the surface you're standing on, so there is no fear about falling upside down. The moment he opens his fist once more, everything would return to standard.

### Cluster Cannons

Tophat may remove his gloves at any given moment, strange markings on his hands that represent a deltarune symbol. If he may wish, he can then use open slits in the tips of his fingers to fire out various blue bolts, similar to that of a bullet at the pace of an M134 Minigun, each hit dealing a heavy sum of damage. Each bolt instantly dissipates the moment it hits a surface, yet is still very deadly.
## Weaknesses

Tophat is extraordinarily focused on a certain element within battle, to the point he is open to get attacked in other ways. If one is to charge an attack, he'd focus too much on that singular charged attack to counter the other attacks in that moment. Alongside his ADHD giving him extreme fluidity and hyperactivity, he also lets his showmanship be his downfall; he really is a fan of putting on a play, so would be able to sacrifice a few skin cells for a good fight. However, sometimes, it can lead to a good combo.

## Relationships

### Omen

Omen and Tophat have a rather confusing friendship, considering that Tophat constantly burdens him with Sans jokes over and over. However, the two admire one-another in their shared sense of hating the British. They also have a continuous recurring banter amongst one-another, one seemingly without an end.

## Trivia

* Tophat was created and is owned by **Theories**, an associate to the Terum Team. While the greater sum of his maturity and personality development was undergone through writing by NyteTheLad, Theories had given dominant advice on Tophat's development within the Terumverse.
