Apocalus

> She was an awful, nasty woman, and we were just kids, and the idea that there were people in the world who wanted to hurt the most vulnerable members of society was drilled into me at a young age through those experiences with her. I wanted to be able to protect people like me from people like her. And it's awful. It's awful that those circumstances exist. But I'm glad to be someone who can help now.

## Biography

### Appearance

Apocalus is a very tall purple alicorn with a large, fluffy two-toned magenta mane that has lighter magenta stripes throughout. This mane is tied up in a bun when she is in her default uniform, but is loose in all other forms. Her power markings appear in the form of an additional white streak through her mane that remains consistent across all of her forms. In her standard uniform, she wears a white eye mask that connects around her ears and makes her eyes appear fully green, as well as a matching white band around the base of her horn. This outfit also consists of a white and gold sleeveless jacket and gold shorts.

In Apocalus' conquest form, her mane is bright yellow and glows faintly. Her horn, ears and wings are tinged with gold and her eyes are fully black with white irises. Her outfit consists of a golden helmet and rose gold chest plating, both of which glow, as well as a golden sword and sword sheathe. Her hooves also appear golden in this form, with her entire coat changing to a bright white colour. She also wears golden eyeshadow in this form.

In her war form, Apocalus' coat and mane are both entirely red with her horn, ears and wings being tinged a darker shade of red. These tinges, along with her hooves, also glow. Her outfit in this form consists of a bright red helmet and darker red armour, as well as a bright red sword. She also has a dark scar over her left eye in this form, with both of her eyes appearing black with red irises.

In her famine form, Apocalus' coat and mane are entirely black with her horn, ears and wings being a darker shade of black. Her eyes are also black in this form, with her irises appearing a slightly lighter shade of black. Her outfit in this form consists of only a black robe.

In her death form, Apocalus' coat and mane appear an off white colour with her horn, ears and wings being tinged a slightly darker shade of beige. She wears an eyeshadow that matches her coat tone and keeps her eyes permanently closed, as anyone who looks into her open eyes in this form becomes immediately deceased. Her outfit in this form consists of only a grey robe.

In Apocalus' pestilence form, her coat becomes a sickly lime green with her mane becoming a darker shade of green. Her eyes appear sunken and darkened around the sockets in this form with her also wearing a dark green eyeshadow. Her eyes themselves are a very dark green with her irises being a glowing lime green in contrast. Her horn, eyes, wings, hooves and mane also glow a feint green in this form. Her outfit consists of a bright green glowing robe and a bright green glowing sword.

### Personality

Apocalus is known for being extremely different on the battlefield than she is off of it. In her natural state, Carnival is extremely excitable, sociable, peppy and positive, talking excessively and being overly affectionate with her allies and friends. When on the battlefield, she becomes much more serious, taking on a leadership role and giving off a much more intense energy than she does otherwise. This intimidating aura is amplified greatly in her alternative forms.

### Powers & Abilities

Apocalus has a four horse physiology core that allows her to take on the forms of the horses of the apocalypse. Each of these forms comes with its own powers, though all of them are used in damager roles by Apocalus.

In her conquest form, Apocalus wields a celestial bow, gaining supernatural accuracy and tank-like strength in her attacks. This is the form in which she focuses on long-range attacks over melee attacks. She also takes her strongest leadership role in this position, hanging back behind the rest of her team to deliver commands while firing off arrows to herd opponents into a smaller attack zone for her allies.

In her war form, Apocalus enters a perpetual state of burning to make herself unhittable with bare hooves. She takes on the ability of blood manipulation, creating swords out of her own blood to attack viciously with. Her enraged state makes her incredibly hard to fight, filling her with adrenaline and bloodlust as she attacks with the force of an entire army.

In her famine form, Apocalus takes a spot in the back of the team, enacting fairly ghoulish effects on her foes by imposing starvation and weakness upon them. This makes it incredibly hard for her foes to fight, only amplified by her ability to induce complete decay. Luckily for her enemies, Apocalus does not invoke this ability on them directly, but instead decays their attacks and weapons until they are completely unusable.

Though Apocalus does not often battle in her death form, it remains incredibly deadly. In this form, Apocalus has the ability to cause instant death, as well as the ability to then raise the dead. This can be used to bring about a legion of phantoms and zombies that fight in her steed, though again, this form often is not used in standard combat.

In her pestilence form, Apocalus is able to inflict poison and virus damage upon her foes, greatly sickening and weakening them until they are unable to battle further. She is also able to create weapons out of pure pestilence in this form, attacking with them to deal poison damage and further sicken her opponents.
