Sheol

*"Isn't it funny? I may be spilling more blood, but when you look at where all the conflict started, it was the Light, all along." -Sheol to Genesis*

***Sheol, Iliad from the Abyss,*** is the apex of darkness and the ruler of the dark half. He was born in an unnamed planet and after experiencing trauma at a young age, he vowed to destroy all good in the Omniverse. From that day, he wishes to consume all good that exists. He is a being of pure evil and will do whatever it takes to make sure there isn't a single miserable or dead being throughout the Omniverse.

## History

One day, a child was born to parents in the Dark Half, this planet was reminiscent of Universe Prime's Old Nexon, which ironically would create Lux and Tenebris, two beings who would bring the war between Light and Dark to Universe Prime. That wasn't where it started however, this child was named Sheol. Sheol, as a child and teenager, was nothing like the person he would become. As a person growing up, he never understood the natural distrust the Dark had toward the Light and hoped to contribute one day to a peace between the two halves where all could live in prosperity. He would move to the Light, and although he never initially got along with the citizens of the Light, he would grow onto them and he would be considered by members of the Light to be a good person, someone who one day, could maybe even unite the halves. He would even bring his parents over to the Light half and told them, in spite of their fear of the Light, that everything would be fine. Things would change for Sheol not long after. While having dinner with his family, the door was ripped off the hinges and his parents were murdered right in front of him. Sheol was devastated, and the Light beings he saw in front of him apologized, not realizing whose house they had just broken into and attempted to explain the situation. The tensions between both halves had reached a boiling point, and they had mistaken his parents for Dark half terrorists. The mix-up changed the trajectory of Sheol's life forever. He remembered what the people around him had said about the Light growing up around him, that they could not be trusted, that they were no better than what they painted the Dark citizens out to be. Anger and grief rose up within Sheol and the Light beings, still truly sorry for the mistake, were killed by Sheol. When Sheol took their lives, he wanted to puke. Never had Sheol ever taken a life before, he didn't realize what he had done until he had already done it. Sheol fled and returned to the Dark half, remaining there, learning about many things such as combat, the dark arts, and used his knowledge of the Dark Arts to manipulate The Mirage and take its power. Sheol was now incredibly strong and used his fame in the dark as a potential emissary of peace to attempt to make a push for the Dark Throne. He would successfully be instated as leader of the Dark, all members of the Dark celebrated at the potential peace that Sheol would bring. Peace was the last thing on Sheol's mind however and Sheol immediately declared war on the Light half, confused and feeling betrayed the populace wanted to know why Sheol, of all people, would want war. Sheol gave them a speech about the day that changed his life forever, the day the Light massacred his parents and the day he realized that those so long ago who spoke ill of the Light were right. All of a sudden, it didn't matter that they had been lied to, the Light had made their biggest mistake. They attempted to cover up the deaths of Sheol's parents as accidents. Sheol, as proof, had the bodies of his parents preserved in two caskets, and their bodies, obliterated and scorched by light, were presented to the crowd. After the event, Sheol cremated the remains of his parent's, putting them in an urn as a reminder to himself that the citizens of the Light all deserve nothing but death. The crowd and the entirety of the Dark went into a frenzy, they were outraged that such an atrocious act could be committed upon a person they believe could've brought peace. Sheol smiled, he knew no one would oppose his choice to go to war now. The Dark followed Sheol all the way, even as he committed countless atrocities as well as inhumane and indecent acts against members of the Light, they would still follow him. The Light, not knowing why Sheol had wanted to murder them, were also outraged by what they perceived as a betrayal. Sheol would've brought peace, but now he was on the doorstep; mangling, torturing, and slaughtering any member of the Light, sometimes personally, and sometimes in cruel fashion. One fledgling sought to stop him however, Genesis. Eventually, he would and Sheol so angry, would make a fatal mistake. Genesis would best him and he would be killed. The mastery of the Dark Arts granted him immortality, and the Dark members were stunned by his resurrection. Now they didn't just see him as a leader, they saw him as a deity. From then on, the war between Light and Dark had begun.

## Personality

Sheol is psychotic, hateful, short-tempered, and completely bloodthirsty. He is extremely unpredictable to the point where most of his soldiers around him are scared even by the mention of his name. His soldiers are scared even to speak with him out of fear he may kill them out of boredom or because he feels slighted simply by their presence or by anything they say. By many of his enemies, Sheol is regarded as a psychopathic, unfeeling incorrigible beast who lives for nothing more than to cause suffering to those around him. Many people, such as Genesis and Izanagi have told him that no one he used to love would support his actions, Sheol however, plagued with anger, grief, numbness, and regret of all of his actions have warped his own mind so much to where he is impossible to convince that mass genocide and suffering is anything other than a means to drag all down to his level for his hatred of just a few.
