**Character Art: [Default / Predeath]**

## Starcluster Datapac

Almafur and his older brother Zemadonis were prestigious mages in the past, born to the Onyxum tribe. His specialty was solar magic, conjuring divine yellow flames and healing fire. He was always the more hotheaded of the two, preferring to let his fists do the talking when in combat. Being blessed with the Eye of the Sun allowed him to further his solar magic. However, his luck turned when he attempted to fight the Paufinton clan in a tournament.

With the brothers attempting to poison their competition, they were disqualified. In his rage, Almafur ran off into a cave and Zemadonis chased after him. However, the two lost their lives when the cave collapsed. Unbeknownst to them, the cave housed the Corrupt Onyx, an artifact cursed by Mufog. In present day, the duo were reanimated as spirits with twisted black versions of their old magic.

His descent into corruption made Almafur much more chaotic, but his hotheaded personality remained intact. As he was rediscovered by the Paufinton family of the present, his old rage was reignited as he did battle with the fighters of today. After Mufog attempted to siphon their powers, the twins broke free from their control and sided with AnthonyM and co. temporarily, fighting for themselves for the first time in centuries.

## Background

### Early life

In life, Almafur and his brother Zemadonis were magic-benders in training. Together they were a team; Zemadonis was the thinker and Almafur was the doer. However, the Onyxum tribe's choice to nominate them as their representatives for the Sketch Arena Tournament was a mistake.

In the brothers' hatred, they poisoned the Paufinton tribe's representatves in secret. Catching word of this, Grand Judge Yolanforus disqualified the twins. Their tribe sent them into exile before they ended up creating the very Black Gem that would resurrect the brothers after gaining sentience.

With the black gem bonding to the twins' eyes, they were imbued with sinister power and bided their time to take revenge.

### *Sketch Arena Tournament*

Finally seeing an ideal moment to strike, Almafur and his brother Zemadonis corrupted the entire roster... except for AnthonyM and Shadus, who could not be turned. Thanks to Ace and Wyldcard, who unknowingly found and freed them, they ran rampant and caused havoc across Sketchia.

After the two heroes reunited the roster, along with Ace and Wyldcard saving them from a second corruption, the brothers combined their power to summon Onyx, the monstrous spirit sealed within the gem.

With Onyx defeated, Dreamkeeper would seal the brothers in Dream Jars, unable to free themselves.

### *Heroes of Elementia*

Almafur appears as the final boss of Master Element's EX story mode, threatening to corrupt the half-Elementian and awaken his true power; the power to shape planets.

Thanks to Zakonu and AnthonyM, Almafur was defeated and re-imprisoned.

### *Smol Ant's Big Quest*

Almafur and his brother Zemadonis seem to cause an uproar in the standard pests of Penciltown and beyond, causing them to become more aggressive than normal. With many heroes out of commission or unaware, Smol Ant readies his tiny self to take on the creatures.

In the end, Smol Ant's squad of clones take down the brothers and Onyx, freeing a captured AnthonyM, Cybern, Crystallon, Jammo, Zakonu, and Lady Elementia.

### *AnthonyM and the Multiverse: Crossing Rifts*

During the beginning of the game, the brothers are seen harnessing the Voidripper's power to teleport away and corrupt most of the Fighters, leaving only the main six, each in their own world and unaware.

Almafur takes a pride in toying with Cybern and Crystallon while their friends are captured. He and Zemadonis usually are seen spying on AnthonyM's progress and tormenting him and The Cause with boss fights based on their memories, made in the image of past threats.

When the original 22 Fighters are all gathered, Almafur and Zemadonis can be fought, and after their loss, the Voidripper becomes aggressive and discards the brothers. It is then revealed that Mufog is now controlling the beast, tearing holes in space and leaking in other universes. With the brothers weakened, they retreat and join The Cause to stop the newly-sentient Voidripper Mufog.

## Personality

Almafur tends to be the more hotheaded of the two Onyxum twins. His headfirst attitude makes him a fighting rival to Master Element, and he wants to take great joy in the suffering of his rivals. Due to his own attitude, Almafur tends to be more lazy and laid-back compared to his more scheming brother. He's even more ruthless in battle, studying an opponent's weak points to fight them with an advantage.

Almafur proves to be a cynical and devious fighter through and through, and with a whole afterlife with nothing to lose, he chooses to live his best afterlife in his own twisted way. Sometimes, his hyperactive mannerisms can easily annoy his brother, resulting in the two usually getting into a fight with each other.

## Relationships

### Zemadonis

Almafur cares deeply for his brother despite butting heads frequently. He's just trying to live his best afterlife with the one person he could never abandon.

### AnthonyM

Almafur typically gets flung into a rage by AnthonyM's taunting, This usually works to his detriment, but he just can't help being annoyed by it.

### Lady Elementia

Almafur thinks of Lady Elementia as someone to fear, but in truth, he's just always on the wrong side when around her. When he finally gets the chance to fight with her, he sees her for the loving mother she is.

### Mufog

Almafur resents Mufog for puppeting him the way they did. After having his powers partially siphoned and his free will back, Almafur chose to oppose Mufog instead of side with him.

He wore a gold bandana with an "A" on it, a flowing robe with armor over it, black pants, spiked knuckle guards over his hands, and kimono sandals.

### Black Gem

When resurrected, the Black Gem shard covers his right eye while his left eye is now red with a black sclera. Said eye has a pupil shaped like half of the Yin-Yang. His skin has become a sickly gray, and his hair has become silver with red streaks. He still retains his robe and armor, but has since lost the sleeves.
