Spectrum!Deku AU

(Initially inspired by Ink!Sans)

Originating from one of the many abandoned AU's that litter the infinite multiverse, Spectrum (formerly known as Ink!Deku) resides outside of any specific AU and instead lives within a pocket dimension, created by him, nicknamed the ***Gallery***. Furthermore, this pocket dimension has direct access to almost every AU within the multiverse, allowing Spectrum to travel anywhere he wishes so long as he's there. More over, Spectrum's reason for existing is to be one of the protectors of the multiverse and to guide new and up coming creators/authors to construct new and unique worlds. However, as the years have passed by and worlds have been both created and destroyed, Spectrum has began to notice a slight decline in the amount of new creators appearing as well as an increase in the amount of abandoned AU's. Alongside this and the fact that Spec can't create worlds by himself, only timelines, he's slowly become more and more protective of the ones that remain, regardless of what they are or who may inhabit them.

## Profile

### **Appearance**

Before the destruction of his soul, thus escaping his crumbling world, Spec resembled the original Midoriya in many ways ranging from the curly mop of hair atop his head, to the litter of sun kissed freckles grazing his cheeks. However, unlike the original Spec was stripped of any and colour, leaving him nothing more than a blank canvas. But alongside his missing colour, Spec was an incomplete design, meaning he didn't posses any major physical features such as his lower legs or his left arm, with there only being partial sketches which resemble those of a stick figure there to replace them, making it difficult for him to walk or grab anything with his left arm.

However, after Spectrum committed suicide via soul destruction and then awaken within the lake of life, he'd become something newer. No longer would he be an incomplete design, he'd be whole, a real person. Shifting gradients every second like a kaleidoscope, Spectrum's mop of curly hair would no longer be plain white but would instead be similar to rainbow which changes colours constantly.

## Powers & abilities

With his new body and his trusty partner Bristle in tow, Spectrum is capable of performing a wide variety of attacks and skills such as:

* **Telekinesis-** In order to communicate with the creators in order to aid their creations or to organise remotely with any allies he may have, Spectrum has the ability to communicate over a large area of the multiverse so long as he knows who he wants to talk to and can picture them clearly in his head.
* **Float-** Pretty self explanatory, the user is capable of hovering/floating in the air.
* **Paint manipulation**
* **Clay manipulation**
* **Life inducement-** With a simple graze of of his hand, Spectrum is capable of instilling life into anything. It's this ability coupled with his ability to create matter, that Spectrum is able to help creators make their own worlds and to them feel alive via giving their characters life. However, whilst he may be able to give things life he cant bring things such as people *back* to life, nor can he recreate erased worlds like Mr. Dekiru can due to not having the ability to manipulate source code.
* **Empathic manipulation immunity-** Due to not possessing neither a soul or natural emotion, Spectrum cannot be manipulated via this technique.

### **Super moves**

* **Kaleidoscope Cannon:** By transferring all of his remaining emotions into his right eye Spectrum can produce a giant optic laser that can rip through anything, however by doing this Spectrum becomes emotionless for a while.

## The Gallery

Like previously stated, the Gallery is pocket dimension/nexus point owned by Spectrum that allows him easy access to any known universe in the multiverse.

### **Multiversal highways**

Simply put, multiversal highways (aka multiways) are numerous routes which connect each and every world within the multiverse. Furthermore, without the use of the gateways located on each world, only a select few individuals such as Malware, King Multiverse, Fennec, Prism, etc, most of which are greater deities, can freely travel the multiverse without the use of any highways. Moreover, whilst some worlds like the inverted AU and the Pirate AU have multiple highways connecting to them, if a world were to only have one highway connecting them to the rest of the multiverse and then that highway was severed/destroyed in any way that world would then become what's known as a deviant universe, also known as an anomaly (which are things beings like Malware and Glitch aim to destroy, with them possessing a powerful form of sixth sense for whenever ones created). However, it isn't impossible for a highway to be reconstructed. Gods such as Mr. Dekiru, also known as Mr, alongside the architect (a god like version of Overhaul) both possess the ability to bring back highways through recovering their left over source code, thus no longer making them anomalies.

#### **Multiversal Gateways**

Without going into much detail into their origin, multiversal gateways are metaphysical doors located on each and every world which allow people access a corresponding multiway, granting them the ability to travel to another world. For example, if someone where to enter a gateway in the Fantasy AU they'd end up travelling to the Halloween AU (which is the fantasy AU's closest neighbouring universe). So, basically multiversal gateways are like teleportation hubs in video games which allow you easy fast travel to any section of the map. Furthermore, these gateways aren't usually just out in the open, in most cases they're hidden away and protected either by robotic sentries or who ever found and claimed them their own.

### **Nexus dimensions**

Whilst mostly self explanatory, for those who don't know. Nexus worlds, or preferably pocket dimensions such as the Gallery, are places where numerous multiways link up, thus connecting dozens or hundreds if not more of worlds to a singular point in space making travel between them easy. However, finding, let alone making, a nexus dimension/world is incredible difficult and requires a lot of energy and power.

## Relationships

### **Bristle (his paintbrush)**

Having received it as a personal gift from the Multiverse King himself, Bristle is the main conduit for Spectrum's powers. Furthermore, to everyone other than Spectrum and the Multiversal King (whom created Bristle) who can easily pick it up and swiftly move it around, Spectrum's paintbrush is a nearly unmovable objects whose weight is almost limitless in the wrong hands.

### **Multiversal King (mentor/father figure)**

Being the first person Spectrum met and communicated with after his reawakening, the Multiverse King serves as a sort of father figure and mentor to Spectrum. Regularly, Spectrum will visit the Radiant city (the home dimension of the King, located at the centre of the multiverse) in order to have King teach him new and interesting things about the multiverse as well as just to hang out and have fun together. However, most of the time whenever he visits King, he'd often be too pre occupied dealing with more pressing situations, leading to Spectrum having to hang out with the royal guard and anyone else who'd be willing to spend time with him.

### **Malware (nemesis)**

Due to their vastly differing views on the multiverse, with Malware constantly trying to erase it and Spectrum trying to maintain and enhance it with new worlds, the two of them have always been at odds with one another and have a deep seated hatred of each other. Furthermore, due to Malware possessing numerous subordinates such as Glitch, Virus, and Delta, whom are also always fighting or hunting Spec as well as the fact that Malware is the cause of Spectrum's insecurity of his right eye, that hatred has only increased. (think of him like Error404 from Undertale)

### **Rainbow (student/friend)**

Having met Rain whilst traveling the multiverse looking for a new AU, something which he does regularly, Spectrum would come to take Rain under his colourful wing and help him control his vast powers that remind him of his own abilities. However, one day Malware would come to know of Rain's existence and their connection to one another, something which Malware would be very excited about. Eventually though, due to a gargantuan fight between Spectrum and Malware, Rain would unfortunately be caught in the cross fire and would then on be imprisoned within his own body, trapped in a never ending coma caused by Malware's ability to manipulate and destroy an individuals source code.

### **Fennec (ally/mentor)**

Having first met Fennec, aka Kitsune Deku, when King advised him to find and train under a competent combat instructor. Spectrum would choose Fennec, however it wouldn't be that easy. In order to train under Fennec, Spectrum would first have to beat him in three games; tag, chess, and finally hide and seek. Day after day, Spectrum would constantly try and beat Fennec but he never could, but seeing the determination on Spectrum's face, Fennec would give in and decide to train him just so long as Spectrum could beat him once in one of those games.Even up till this day, Spectrum has never won. However, the reason Spectrum choose Fennec in the first place was due to overhearing a conversation amongst a group of citizens in the exterior of the Radiant city saying that Fennec was supposedly one of the strongest beings in the multiverse alongside his friend Prism (god slayer Bakugou AU) and Malware (whose Spectrum's only heard about at this point).

## Random trivia

* In stark contrast to his whole appearance after reawakening within the pool, whenever Spectrum cries his tears are pitch black and similar in consistency to ink.
* Spectrum's birthday, aka the day he awakened from the pool, is October 17th.
* Being a hobby picked up from Melody, Spectrum enjoys playing both the cello and flute.
* Whilst only a minor part of his overall appearance, Spectrum has a multi coloured tongue.
* Spectrum!Deku used to be Ink!Deku, however due to being *too* similar to Ink from undertale, he was changed.
* Instead of the regular red, Spectrum's blood is just like his tears: black.
* Amidst Spectrum's range of varying hobbies, one of his favourites is dancing.
* Just like any other character, Spectrum also posses AU variations of himself that reside in parallel multiverses. However, Spectrum's most important alternate self is a being called Red (Infrared!Deku), whose mainly just a more violent version of Spectrum that's determined to end every AU in every multiverse. For this reason alone, it's easy to tell that they don't exactly get along, with the two of them being known to engage in numerous bouts that could by consequence end in the unwanted destruction of AU's.
* The tie dye hoodie which Spectrum usually has wrapped around his waist was initially a gift from Dream.
* Instead of just being referred to as Spectrum, some people just call him Spec in reference to a spec of paint just like the one gracing his cheek.
