## BackStory

Bane was the guardian of the Pillar of Nature. As such, he had the power to commune and bend Nature,which include:Warp all Nature life forms,summon Natural phenomena,manipulate the Weather,the elements,etc at his own will. When he was corrupted by Nupraptor's attack at the Circle, he became insane and, along with DeJoule and Anacrothe, they created the Dark Eden, from where they started a plot to twist the land.

With their combined powers, they created a massive energy that steamed from the apex of the structure, creating a dome around it that started spreading through the landscape, leaving behind only a bizarre and twisted parody. Bane's powers created many mutated abominations outside the dome. Kain, after meeting with the vampire Vorador, proceeded to the Dark Eden to kill the corrupted guardians, fighting the monsters along the path. He finally meets the three guardians inside the place, but Anacrothe runs away and summons Malek to help them. Kain then summons Vorador, making Malek angry and neglecting the other two.

Bane and DeJoule then escapes to a open area, where they fight Kain, while Malek take on Vorador. The two tag up to fight the vampire,However this was not enough, as Kain kills both of them.

## Powers & Abilities

**GUARDIAN OF NATURE:**

Description: The nature guardian; They were charged with governing over plant,animals, and all forms of natural life in Nosgoth and manipulates the behavior of life and the elements.

* **Longevity:** Bane being connected to his respective pillar, like all guardians Bane has an imortality in the form of extreme longevity, allowing him to live for at least hundreds and thousands of years, although he can be killed normally

* **Nature/Life/Biologic manipulation:** Through his magic he can change the nature of life itself,animating and warped plants,trees,etc and influencing animals,they "Influence Nature"
	+ **Plant Manipulation:** User can, shape and manipulate plants, including wood, vines, plants, moss, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, roots, fruits and flowers. The user can cause plants to grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure and revive withered or dead plants. They can use their power for defence and support, cause flowers and other plants to bloom instantaneously, manipulate tree branches to use them as whip-like weapons, control spores and pollen, and bring plants back to life and make them sprout seeds/fruits/berries, use plant chemicals to heal people/objects or manipulate their properties for a wide range of effects.
	+ **Forest Manipulation:** User can create, shape and manipulate the forest (including jungles, taiga, rainforests, woodlands, etc.) and everything in them, including all the aspects of the forests, from the purely physical ones and also mythical/conceptual ones.
	+ **Animal Manipulation/Lordship:** The user has total domain and control over all beasts and animals around the world, they have unlimited control and power over all manner of creatures ranging from the mundane to the most powerful and mythical. They control them to do their bidding like, help them during situations, use them against foes, use them to see locations and get information about a particular place, use them for flight. Some can see through the creatures eyes that is controlled, allowing them to spy on others. User can also understand or communicate with them, hence creating and strengthening friendships.
	+ **Biological Manipulation:** They can "Warp creatures growth and abilities",Creating "new and weird life forms for his own purposes".
* **Poison manipulation:** Can create creatures and plants that throw it.

An example of these Three last abilities,are the Creatures and plants,in the proximity to the Dark Eden:

The creatures range from: Fat monsters viscous that move like slugs,crawling on the ground, creatures shoot a poisonous projectile.Plants that release a poisonous toxin. Humanoid creatures,which shoot bumps from his body,in all directions.

Also a Nature Guardian was able to summon tentacles to combat,this tentacles grip to the enemy and damage him,they go under ground and can travel to Material real to Spectral or vice versa (they move beetwen dimensions)

* **Commune nature:** The guardian has the ability to commune with nature like plants,animals,etc.
* **Elmental manipulation:** The guardian can manipulate the elements,at least Fire,Water,Earth,Air,Snow,and Ligthning,likely they can manipulate all fundamental elements in Nosgoth,that means,they also can manipulate Light,ice,and Darkness,also can induce Volcanic eruptions,so he also can manipulate Magma.
* **Weather Manipulation:** The Nature Guardian has "The weather itself at his behest". They can sense, create,shape and manipulate weather, i.e. the meteorological patterns, creating rain, wind, hail, lightning, snow, sleet,fog and temperature changes.This includes the ability to generate various natural phenomena like tornados or control the intensity of the weather in highly concentrated (inside room) or vastly extended (continental) areas.

There are four main factors of Weather manipulation:

* **Air Manipulation** - for wind and related effects.
* **Electricity Manipulation** - lightning in all variations.
* **Thermal Manipulation** - make it cold or hot.
* **Water Manipulation** - rain, snow, fog, etc.

**Summon Natural phenomena:** The Nature guardian can summon natural phenomena for combat.

"A natural phenomenon is not an engineered event manufactured by humans,although it may affect them. Common examples of natural phenomena include sunrise,the weather,decomposition, free fall and erosion.Most natural phenomena,such as fog,are relatively harmless so far as humans are concerned.Various types of natural phenomena, including the following: Geological phenomena,Meteorological phenomena ,Oceanographic phenomena"

Types of natural phenomena include:

Weather,fog,thunder,tornadoes; biological processes,decomposition, germination; physical processes, wave propagation,erosion;tidal flow,[moonbow] and natural disasters such as electromagnetic pulses,volcanic eruptions,and earthquakes.

List of Natural phenomena:

* **Erosion Manipulation:** The user can manipulate the natural processes of erosion and weathering, speeding or slowing it, reshaping rocks or landforms in different ways. They can also control how the erosion or weathering happens, giving the user control of how they wants to erode or weather rocks and landforms.

**Physical phenomena:**

* Gravity - ( **Gravity Manipulation** ): User can create, shape and manipulate gravity, a natural phenomenon by which all matter is brought together, toward one another. If they exist, the user may be able to manipulate gravitons, hypothetical elementary particles that mediate the force of gravitation. User can bend gravity to make the environment very “heavy” or “light”, cause objects to “fall” toward another object instead of the earth (“nexus inducing”), flatten objects, and generate miniature black holes to compress objects into oblivion. They can repel and attract matter and energy regardless of its mass or move objects in a manner similar to telekinesis. Offensive uses of this power include repulsing people or objects with such force to shatter practically anything, increasing gravity to crush or immobilize opponents, decreasing it to render them defenseless, or surrounding one's body in a gravitational field to amplify physical strength. Defensive uses include creating a gravitational force-field to repel all manner of attacks or anchoring oneself to the ground.
* **Boiling** - Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere.
* **Freezing** - Freezing is a phase transition where a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point. In accordance with the internationally established definition, freezing means the solidification phase change of a liquid or the liquid content of a substance, usually due to cooling
* **Crystal growth** - Crystal growth is the process where a pre-existing crystal becomes larger as more growth units (e.g. molecules, ions) add in their positions in the crystal lattice or a solution is developed into a crystal and further growth is processed.

*Chemical phenomena:*

* **Oxidation** - **Redox** (reduction–oxidation),is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. Redox reactions are characterized by the transfer of electrons between chemical species, most often with one species (the reducing agent) undergoing oxidation (losing electrons) while another species (the oxidizing agent) undergoes reduction (gains electrons).The chemical species from which the electron is stripped is said to have been oxidized, while the chemical species to which the electron is added is said to have been reduced. In other words: Oxidation: is the loss of electrons or an increase in the oxidation state of an atom by another atom, an ion, or a molecule.
* **Reduction:** is the gain of electrons or a decrease in the oxidation state of an atom by another atom, an ion, or a molecule.
* **Rusting** - Rust is an iron oxide, a usually red oxide formed by the redox reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. Several forms of rust are distinguishable both visually and by spectroscopy, and form under different circumstances.

*Biological phenomena:*

* **Descomposition** - organic substances are broken down into a much simpler form of matter
* **Metabolism** - is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are: the conversion of food to energy to run cellular processes; the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates; and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes.
* **Catabolism** - is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in other anabolic reactions. Catabolism breaks down large molecules (such as polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins) into smaller units (such as monosaccharides, fatty acids, nucleotides, and amino acids, respectively).Catabolism is the breaking-down aspect of metabolism, whereas anabolism is the building-up aspect.
* **Anabolism** - is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy, known also as an endergonic process.Anabolism is the building-up aspect of metabolism, whereas catabolism is the breaking-down aspect.
* **Fermentation** – converts sugar to acids, gases and/or alcohol.
* **Growth** - The term cell growth is used in the contexts of biological cell development and cell division (reproduction). When used in the context of cell development, the term refers to increase in cytoplasmic and organelle volume, as well as increase in genetic material following the replication during S phase. This is not to be confused with growth in the context of cell division, referred to as proliferation, where a cell, known as the "mother cell", grows and divides to produce two "daughter cells".
* **Natural Disasters:** User can create, shape and manipulate all forms of natural disasters, including avalanches, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hydrological disasters, meteorological disasters, wildfires, health disasters, space disasters, etc.
	+ **Avalanche Creation:** The user has the ability to create/generate avalanches (also called a snowslide or snowslip), which is a rapid flow of snow down a sloping surface.Avalanches are typically triggered in a starting zone from a mechanical failure in the snowpack (slab avalanche) when the forces on the snow exceed its strength but sometimes only with gradually widening (loose snow avalanche). After initiation,avalanches usually accelerate rapidly and grow in mass and volume as they entrain more snow. If the avalanche moves fast enough some of the snow may mix with the air forming a powder snow avalanche,which is a type of gravity current
	+ **Drought Creation:** The user can create droughts: an extended period when a region receives a deficiency in its water supply, whether atmospheric, surface or ground water. A drought can last for months or years, or may be declared after as few as 15 days.
	+ **Earthquake Generation:** The user can create earthquakes at will.
	+ **Eruption Inducement:** Users can cause volcanic eruptions, sending out lava and ash, they can do this by either awakening existing volcanoes or making a new one to cause an eruption.
	+ **Epidemic Creation:** The user can create epidemic, rapid spread of infectious disease to a large number of people in a given population within a short period of time, usually two weeks or less.
	+ **Flood Creation:** The user can create flood: an overflow of water that submerges land which is usually dry. Floods Directive defines a flood as a covering by water of land not normally covered by water. The primary effects of flooding include loss of life, damage to buildings and other structures, including bridges, sewerage systems, roadways, and canals.
	+ **Hurricane Creation:** The user can create hurricanes to cause massive damage, the strength of the hurricane depends on the power/skill of the user and the environmental factors.
	+ **Meteor Summoning:** User can summon or create meteors causing massive and widespread damage.
	+ **Storm Manipulation:** User can sense, create, shape and manipulate storms, including strong wind, hail, thunder and/or lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation (snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain (ice storm), strong winds (tropical cyclone, windstorm), or wind transporting substance through the atmosphere as in a dust storm, blizzard, sandstorm, etc.
	+ **Storm Generation:** The user is able to generate various storms of wind, rain, hail, snow, sand, dust, and lightning.
	+ **Supernova Inducement:** The user is able to cause stars to go supernova, a stellar explosion that is more energetic than a nova. This explosion can end the entire solar system life,but not destroy it. Higher-level users may be able to cause even stars that are not massive enough to go supernova.
	+ **Tidal Wave/Tsunami Generation:** The user can call forth huge water waves to crash down at their targets, washing everything away in a powerful torrent. Note that various fluid elements can be used to generate the tidal wave, including lava, sand, and blood.
	+ **Tornado Creation:** The user can create tornadoes, whirlwinds and similar forms of wind storms.
	+ **Whirlpool Generation:** The user can generate whirlpools, swirling bodies of water that can be used to attack or trap enemies.
* **Likely Many more:** The Guardian of Nature, govern over ALL forms of natural life, should have all the powers related to Nature
