Dawn M. Bennet

**War Lilac** is a half-dragon, half-mammal female, and the Warmonger counterpart of Sash Lilac. She hails from universe FP-115, a universe renowned for a darker take on the main timeline both before and after The Event. She was one of the first Phase 2 Warmongers, even surviving to Phase 3 in some form.

## Appearance

War Lilac mainly resembles Lilac from around the same timeline as the original *Freedom Planet;* she is a bipedal, female half-dragon (with an unknown mammal side) of above average height. However, she is also a corrupted form of the character; her skin is paler, her scales are a much darker shade of purple, her teeth are sharp and dirty. She has protruding claws on the ends of her fingers, a few scars and stitches littered on her body, as well as two badly stitched cuts below her eyes. Her eyes are also the Phase 2 Warmonger standard - black sclera, with a blood red pupil. Her horns are black, cracked and curve inwards like devil horns, and her two strands of violet hair are replaced by a single stuffed alternative.

Before The Event, War Lilac wore a filthy, damaged version of her original attire. Her earpieces are red instead of cyan. She wears a black choker around her neck, and a ripped black shirt underneath her other shirt. Said shirt has clearly ripped in several places to be patched up with other bits of clothing; the right shoulder is made of red fabric, while two alternating parts of the torso are stitched up with black fabric with a red trim. Likewise, her left pants leg is made of the same material. Her gloves have red cuffs and are totally destroyed, with only a few scraps of the gloves left. Her boots have red socks and soles that travel up the back of them. Her stuffed tendril is blatantly stitched and has black tape wrapped around the middle of it. Here her eyes are small red dots.

Post Event, War Lilac now wears what is supposedly ruined clothing once belonging to Spade. Her hair is much wilder than before, with a much bushier fringe covering part of her left eye. Her horns are warped further and have a spiralling pattern running across them. Instead of an earpiece, she has a headband of intersecting red and black patterns ending in a gold medallion where her earpiece used to be - presumably, the medallion performs a similar function. The gashes under her eyes are now stitched up, she more normal teeth with a single noticeable fang, and her eyes are now more oval-shaped. She wears a red scarf around her neck, a black shirt with ripped sleeves and torso that exposes her midriff slightly, as well as ragged khaki pants. She now has proper gloves, fingerless with a black and red cuff. She also wears red boots with black socks and soles. Her stuffed tendril has a cover on part of it, likewise with an alternating black and red pattern.

Early in 2017, she wore a red sash with another medallion on it, and her horns had blue lines running across them like electricity. Both were dropped before her bio was released.

## Personality

War Lilac's personality could not be further from Lilac's own if she tried. Gone is Lilac's optimism and daring-do attitude, instead replaced by a bitter and unhinged demeanour. She has violent mood swings, pacing back and forth between different, equally-mangled states of mind. For most of her time, she is energetic, crazed and bitey, with a sharp sense of snark. At other times she can be tired and bitter, often while reflecting on her past. Other times still, she can be depressed and sombre (a common Warmonger condition known as Downtime), often on the verge of bursting into tears.

What is most terrifying about her, however, is her "Bloodlust" state. This is when War Lilac drops all pretences of sanity and becomes a whirlwind of rage and feral instincts, constantly screaming about various, often unsavoury ways to die or otherwise rampaging around the worlds. Little calms her from this state outside of simply time, though there have been attempts to force her back into a state of calm - often via the use of tranquillisers.

## Skills and Abilities

What War Lilac lacks in her prime counterpart's finesse and speed, she makes up for in sheer brutality in her attacks. Her attacks are wild and amateur, swinging in a random direction as hard as she possibly can, with the strength to crack rocks. As she lacks true hair tendrils, she instead uses a weapon - specifically, Brevon's blade that she stole from him after murdering him with it. Covered in green blood, her strikes are feral and easy to predict, but hit like a truck when they do.

Another set of abilities that sets War Lilac apart from her prime counterpart is her powers fueled by absorbing the Kingdom Stone - this gives her a much wider range of abilities, albeit ones she has great difficulty controlling. According to her bio, she can fire lightning from her fingers, fire off massive lasers, bolts of energy and can even generate flames. She even has the ability to conjure up Phantom Blocks and throw them like Milla, though hers are red and explode on contact. She rarely uses these powers, however, due to the extreme amount of strain they can put on her body.

War Lilac also sometimes uses human firearms, though this is a physical tic specific to Warmonger Drones over a part of her common arsenal. It can be assumed that War Lilac has similar attributes to Lilac - Supernatural Durability, Speed, ect - if not slightly warped. She is capable of the Super Dragon Boost, but not the standard, due to the Kingdom Stone's energy. However, she can only fly in a set direction (often straight forward) as opposed to prime Lilac being able to choose.

## Weaknesses

* **Hard of Hearing:** Much like Lilac Prime, War Lilac is hard-of-hearing - if not outright deaf - due to a birth defect that renders her ears useless. However, years of insanity have meant her earpeices have gone for the same time without maintenance or repairs, and as such her hearing is much worse than Lilac's.
* **Mental Instability:** For all of War Lilac's powers she does not have the kind of clear thought process to use them to their fullest. Her plans tend to be a bit wayward, overly complex and extremely violent, regardless of the situation. Beyond that, her instability can result in a loss of control for both her mind as well as her powers, resulting in an extreme amount of collateral damage.

## History

### Pre-Event

#### Before Traveller's Intervention

Before the events of Traveller's Intervention, it is generally assumed that this Lilac's backstory was similar to her Prime counterpart's, from joining the Red Scarves to leaving them and setting up their own robbery route in the valley. One thing that is known for certain is how she and Carol met; it is said that they met while Lilac was on her way home from buying some apples. She ran into a Carol sleeping rough, shared an apple, and then offered her a place to stay in her room at the Red Scarves' hideout. Otherwise, her pre-history seems to be identical.

#### Traveller Intervenes

The major problem point seems to be as early as Torque originally crash landing within Dragon Valley. Upon meeting and being attacked by Serpentine, they were saved by an unusual man in a blue jacket with torso wound and a large red woolen scarf; dubbing himself the Traveller, he tailed along with the group to Relic Maze, then staying over for the night. The morning after, he and a revealed Torque discuss why there were there; Torque to capture the warlord Brevon, and Traveller after a warlord of a different kind. He would eventually reveal that he was sent to save Lilac from a form of corruption he too had once been exposed to, having been sent back four years from a timeline where she had gone mad and destroyed the world.

Overall, the journey between Fortune Night and Thermal Base was very similar to the prime timeline. Traveller would follow Lilac, Carol, Milla and Torque across the surface of Avalice. Their first stop in Shang Mu ended with Traveller destroying the Robo Panther before meeting with Mayor Zao, though the Kingdom Stone was still stolen by Serpentine in the process. Then, while travelling the skies back to Shang Tu, they were attacked by Prince Dail and his fleet of ships, to which they successfully fought back. It was the escape from Neera and the Shang Tu police, however, where things changed rather drastically. Enraged by the panda, Traveller assumed a ghostly white form and killed her, making Carol abandon the group and take Milla to parts unknown. After explaining who he really was and why he was there, Lilac took off alone to raid the Thermal Base and save Torque. And just like in the Prime timeline, her tendrils were severed and she was captured.

#### Torture and Abandonment

After she was captured by Brevon, she was hooked up to the torture device and shocked violently, as is the course of action with her Prime counterpart. While Traveller attempted to get her free, his wound caught up with him and temporarily disabled him. With information on the Kingdom Stone already gained from the hooded figure he had been talking to, Brevon was set to kill this Lilac to stop her interfering with his plans. However, before he was able to, the same hooded figure assumed control of the base and stormed it, killing Brevon and revealing himself to be a corrupted clone of the Traveller. Dubbing himself Clone Master, he took the Blade of Hysteria from him before stabbing Lilac in the gut with it, taking Traveller and Torque elsewhere and leaving her to die, or worse.

Waking up later on and managing to stabilise the wound, the agonised and enraged Lilac stumbled out of the abandoned base and towards the old Red Scarves headquarters. Unbeknownst to her, her transformation into a Warmonger was already beginning, owing to the extreme anger and strength on display. She blamed Carol for her predicament and fought her towards within the Red Scarves base, eventually cutting her hand off. Distraught, she fled the scene to figure out what was happening to her, including a fight with her future self via hallucination. Thankfully, she was brought back to reality from a healed Carol, and ushered towards the timeline's ultimate fight at Battle Glacier.

#### Milla's Death and Transformation

Lilac was reunited with Carol, who stole a truck and drove towards the final battle. After speeding towards the Battle Glacier, seeing as Shang Tu and Shang Mu were already embroiled in civil war at this point, the team decided to skip most of the battlefield by speeding towards the Dreadnought and boarding it as soon as possible. With information gained from the Blade, the team sped towards the core of the Dreadnought, now fully taken over by Clone Master and Prince Dail.

Upon reaching the core, however, they were met by Clone Master, Dail and a kidnapped Milla. The latter was hooked up to a harness that improved her powers expoentionally, but at the cost of slowly draining her energy until it began to kill her. Lilac was forced to fight and bring down Milla before the machine weakened her enough, each blow landed only further pushing her towards breaking limit and transforming. Thankfully, she was apprehended by the last second by a returning Traveller and Prince Dail was swiftly defeated alongside her.

But Clone Master wasn't out of the fight yet. Brandishing Brevon's own blade, he rushed the team and stabbed Milla through the back, impaling her in the process. Milla bled out on the floor with Lilac by her side, softly asking why before she finally died. This action sent a sobbing Lilac well over the edge , and she transformed into a Warmonger at last. Enraged and unstable, she rushed the Clone and stabbed him repeatedly, over and over again. Clone Master died with a smile on his face; he had won, he had transformed Lilac to continue his legacy.

#### Four Year Rampage

With almost everyone dead or gravely injured, the timeline thoroughly ruptured and Lilac transformed fully into a Warmonger, Traveller bid the group a wretched farewell and escaped through a portal to parts elsewhere. Carol rejoined with the Red Scarves, if only to get away from the monster that used to be her friend. Left alone on the cliff-side, watching as the Dreadnought crashed into the Battle Glacier and caused a cataclysmic level of destruction, War Lilac was approached by the original War Master (or simply War Markus, as he would later be known), who had overlooked her transformation and was thoroughly impressed with the results. Offering to be her mentor, War Master ordered her to absorb the remaining energy of the Kingdom Stone, which she did whilst thrashing about in hysterics.

Empowered by the Kingdom Stone, and angry at a trio of kingdoms that she felt had wronged and abused her, War Lilac went on a rampage against the planet that lasted a total of four years. It is not known for how long War Master rampaged by her side, but he would eventually leave by the fourth year. She would travel around the world, destroying buildings, infrastructure and any pockets of resistance wherever she went. Anyone, even the strongest warriors, would stand to her, only to be instantly destroyed by her powers and her crazed fighting style. She killed Mayor Zao, burning Shang Mu to the ground, and is said to have kidnapped the Magister, torturing him until he too passed. Eventually, the world became a decayed wasteland, destroyed in every corner, with only a small faction led by a gravely injured and rebuilt Carol attempting to keep the peace.

#### Other Misadventures

Here and there, War Lilac would temporarily retire from her rampage and "cool off" by going on adventures. Known adventures included;

* Temporarily joining the Chasers and fighting alongside the main cast of the Prime worlds.
* Helping to track down another Brevon - and violently murdering him.
* Being arrested by the No-Zone Police (several times).
* Breaking War Markus out of prison on Christmas Eve.
* Being tutored by an old acomplice of War Markus'.
* Partaking in Trick or Treating under the guise of her look being a costume.
* Developing a team of likeminded War incarnations of her old friends.
* Teaming up with Traveller to take down fellow Warmongers.
* Living in a ruined world with Traveller's good counterpart, Markus, for well over a year.

As War Lilac herself would later admit, all these adventures were mere distraction from something. She was running from what she knew was inevitable, but eventually her time was up and she slipped back into her dimension to prepare for what was coming for her.

#### Death

After the rampage cooled down, War Lilac settled in the remains of Shang Mu. By this point, an army of those who wished to avoid her wrath had been amassed, though they wouldn't save her from an unknown invader; Traveller, specifically a version from before his intervention, had crash landed in this timeline after a botched jump. From there he toured the city, discovered part of its backstory and eventually came across War Lilac. Not recognising her was enough to send War Lilac into a rage, and she attacked Traveller. While she was successful in wounding him, he was able to gun her down in self-defence.

However, that didn't kill her immediately, and she would lie unconscious for a few hours while Traveller was sent back into the past, causing the Intervention all over again. Eventually, the Traveller from after such events would travel back to this timeframe and shoot War Lilac in the head, killing her this time.

### Post-Event

After The Event, Lilac's eventual transformation followed a much closer series of events to the Prime timeline than her original incarnation. No Traveller, no Clone Master, no Blade of Hysteria present. The only major changes in this iteration were that she was never rescued from Thermal Base, forcing her to heal herself and travel to the Battle Glacier by herself. With no dragon and no help from either Shang Tu or Shang Mu, the resulting three way battle between them and Brevon's forces resulted in a bloodbath on all sides. TBC

While War Lilac fades from the history of the Warmongers as time goes on, she forever remains a footnote in their origins nevertheless as one of the first Warmongers to be created from influence of another Warmonger. From her it would spread further across the universes until contained by The Event, at least until the third Phase would begin with War Pearl starting the spread once more in another part of the multiverse.

## Trivia

* War Lilac is classified as a Drone purely for parity with the current Warmonger hierarchy - at the time of War Lilac's creation, there were not multiple types of Warmonger, just the red-eyed version. Chronologically, Warmonger Types only came about after The Event.
* War Lilac had a tendency to break the fourth wall in the descriptions to MasterPerryMartin's uploads, often bickering with him using bold text to speak. This trait was carried over to War Marie, War Lilac's arguable successor.
* It is not known is War Lilac has any memories before The Event, like other certain characters do.
* In 2017, War Lilac was part of the roster in an AMA called "Ask the Cast"; she got the most questions of anyone, as such a lot of information was given about her;
	+ She is terrified of the Lilac from the Shadowverse, a similarly-corrupted version of her.
	+ She constructed her stuffed tendril herself after they wouldn't grow back, and grew attached to them to the point she refused to replace them with robotics.
	+ Lady Lilac once spiked her coffee to knock her out and drag her back to the No-Zone after she escaped.
	+ While originally dismissive of Lavender the Anti-Lilac, they eventually struck up a deal - she kills Lavender's enemies and she is rewarded with pies. It is unlikely this deal is still upheld.
	+ She is sometimes roped into working with the Coalition, but any shifts she remembers were slow and uneventful. Her outfit is similar to other Chaser outfits, but red and with bits missing.
* War Lilac has been put into a lot of fanservice outfits, willingly or otherwise, over the years. This includes; a bunny suit, a Hooters outfit (to mock Sonic Forces teaming up with the chain for advertising in Japan) and a bikini, among others.
