Genie

Genie is a being who makes deals in exchange for souls to become stronger. He is currently locked away in the Nightmare Reality because of the Gondilie Force and David Smith. He is also the main antagonist of the RMPFTD series, Midlife crisis.

## Appearance

Genie has a bandage over his eyes with two buttons sewn on, and, according to the Ancient Texts of the Heiwana, he lacks eyes and only has a large one on his chest, and attribute they also have after he cursed them before they supposedly defeated him and banished him away. He has a double-barrelled shotgun on his back, and always wears a white shirt and either wears a blue shirt or a leather jacket. He wears grey trousers and brown boots, and has black hair.

## Personality

The main theme of Genie's personality is his manipulating and tricking personality. David often describes him as *the Trickster*, and Tona referred to him as *the sentient incarnation of not reading all of the terms and conditions before saying OK*. He also fooled the Heiwana, as, when they fought him to banish him to what they perceived as hell, he placed the idea into their mind that would evolve over generations so he can later use them as a slave army. He has a mild sense of humour, but does not make jokes in serious situations and only when he is relaxed. He also tries not to underestimate his opponent, but then later does, leading in his defeat; this has since become a cliché in his character.

## History

### Origins

Genie was initially named the Eyeless One by the species the Heiwana, who fought against him for his treachery to planets around the universe. They knew he wanted to consume them next and fought to stop him. They create a rip in reality to send him to a different universe, and try to push him into it, using the fact that they are in a hive mind to their advantage. Genie also uses this to his advantage, and manages to find a Heiwana in which he implants the idea and concept of him being an ally. although this spreads around the hive mind, the Heiwana still do not let him win and, in a final stand, they through him through the rip in reality. He scars them, however, giving them all eyes on their chests, like him, as a means for him to see through, though they do not know this. He then arrives in Universe 1 and dedicates his time to creating technology to travel through Universes. Meanwhile, the idea of Genie being an ally to the Heiwana slowly evolves through the generations of Heiwana.

### Afterlife arc

The founder shows David the ancient texts of the Heiwana detailing their fight against the eyeless one, who scarred them all before being banished through a hole to hell. Later on when David talks to the Heiwana, they all close their eyes while the eyes on their stomach look around. They then all say, in synch, 'he is coming'. They then all open their eyes, and seem to have no memory of doing so.

### Heiwana Crisis arc

After the Heiwana's Hive Mind is saved, they thank all those who helped them. They then, once again, all close their eyes while the eyes on their stomach look around and all say, 'he is coming'. After the Founder asks what that means, they once again have no recollection of ever doing so.

### Genie arc

The founder reveals that he has found a way to return to the living, and that it is in the form of a man named Genie. He tells them that Genie has the power to return them all to the world of the living. Genie only asks for the payment of either the founder's soul or something in equivalent value to it. When the founder says that he has nothing in equivalent value to it, Genie tells him that he will take his soul and let everyone who can still be freed return to the world of the living. Unexpectedly, however, Genie grabs the founder and he dies, only for Genie to laugh and say that, in this world, they are literally just souls. As David points out he told them that he would let everyone there return to the world of the living, Genie tells him that he said everyone who could still be freed, and the founder couldn't, as he would have given his life before they would be freed. Genie goes on to say that they should run now, as every soul he consumes makes him more powerful.

As everyone in the 'Midlife' escapes back to the world of the living, the Heiwana suddenly turn on them and try to kill them. As David and his allies hide out where the Ancient Texts of the Heiwana are, he discovers that Genie is actually the Eyeless One and he is here to get his revenge. He says that they need to somehow nullify the idea Genie put into their heads. Meanwhile, however, Genie returns to the world of the living and begins destroying things to prove his power. Meanwhile, David tells his allies that, if they can put the concept of the Heiwana's species fighting Genie into one of their heads, it will spread around the hive mind, and they will break free from Genie's spell. Genie returns to the Midlife to execute any survivors, and David makes one of the Heiwana 'download' the Ancient Texts of the Heiwana. This information spreads around the hive mind, and the Heiwana turn on Genie, but he begins massacring them. The Heiwana forces increase, and he reminisces about how this is like the last time they fought. The Heiwana suddenly have their minds fully cleared and keep on fighting, and push him down to the world of the living. Genie tells them that he will destroy both the Midlife and Earth, and David uses ancient Heiwana technology to control Earth's missiles to shoot Genie. Genie survives, however, and says to himself that they underestimated him, before departing to get revenge another day. Genie power on them is undone, however, and they can no longer return to the world of the living, but David points out that it's a necessary price to pay considering that, otherwise, Genie would have destroyed Earth and the Midlife. Unbeknownst to them, Genie still lives.

### The Peaceful Planet arc

When those from the Midlife go to a planet that a hole in reality opened a link to, where many different species live in harmony, they once again run into Genie. As the look through the planet, they discover a large database that includes information about every being on the planet and everything that ever happened there. They are told that, if they touch it, they will be overloaded by the amount of electricity and data it stores and easily be annihilated. They are also told that it also keeps all of the planets electricity to be sent everywhere. As they explore, Genie also arrives, knowing that they are alone and this is the best time to get revenge. The tour guide that told those from the Midlife about the Electricity Database gives Genie a tour, and she admits that she never could get a man to love her. Genie uses this to his advantage and makes a deal with her. He makes a work colleague fall in love with her but also takes her soul and kills her.

He then makes another deal with a drunk creature and gives it the fortune it desires before taking it's life. Genie then breaks into the building in which the database is stored and activates all of the helpful AI around the planet to go and kill those from Midlife. When David and his allies see this happening, however, they are almost cornered, but manage to escape down into an underground passageway. Genie continues monitoring them until the arrive in a library that is connected to the database. Genie goes to the library and sets all of the AI on it. When he arrives there, a terrified girl whom works there asks Genie if he can make the AI stop attacking them. Genie makes a deal with her and consumes her soul, before changing the AI's priorities to only attack those from Midlife. They then surround David and his allies, but Leonardo tells Genie that he will make a deal with him; he will give Genie his soul if he leaves them alone. Genie denies this request, however, but David has used the distraction to put a code into one of the computers in the library that overrides all nearby AI.

As Genie hunts them down throughout the library, he changes the AI's priorities to wait outside the library or otherwise they will be overridden. As those from Midlife arrive at the exit, they are blocked by the AI, and have to continue through the labyrinth of the library. Genie then deactivates the code and lets the AI enter the library, before going to cut off his prey. They disappear, however, and he angrily demands the AI tell him where they could have gone. They tell him that there is nothing on their database that tells them where he could have gone, leading Genie to angrily tear off the AI's head and thrown it into a bookshelf. He happily notes to himself that, by making more deals, he is slowly getting more powerful. He then realises that there is a secret passageway, and asks the AI if they can detect it. When the AI reply negatively, Genie guesses that it leads to the database, and goes through it to find them.

Genie arrives in the database building and begins to search for them. Meanwhile, David accidentally touches one of the wires transferring data and everything the database contains rushes through his head, causing him to let go again. Genie makes his way up the building and gets to where those from Midlife are. He pulls out his shotgun and takes Lucy's soul with it. Surprised that he can take people's souls with the shotgun without making a deal with them, the others back away and escape. Meanwhile, David activates the doors next to Genie, opening them up and revealing the grand database. David then overrides it and turns it into a giant magnet and holds on for dear life as Genie is sucked into it and electrocuted. As the database overloads, all of the AI across the planet explodes, and all of the electricity turns off. As Genie screams and tries to offer David a deal, David increases the power of the database, which completely annihilates the surrounding area, before the database itself explodes into blue flames. The magnetic force turns off and David lets go, and goes to return to his allies and tell them that he managed to kill Genie.

### Five Universes arc

Unbeknownst to everyone, Genie managed to live and is currently orbiting planet Earth on a large plane along with his followers. There, he believes that no-one from Midlife can find him, while his body slowly repairs itself with the help of doctors and nurses. Meanwhile, David has been having vivid nightmares about Genie and his vendetta against them. Meanwhile, a businessman wants to expand his empire across the entire universe, and needs help to do so. Genie's followers hear of this, however, and they believe that if Genie can make another deal his body can repair itself fully and he can murder everyone from Midlife. They send down troops that kidnap the businessman and bring him up to the plane. David's dreams are getting even more vivid, and the Heiwana remind David that he can currently live in the world of the living because of the energy he consumed during the New Visitors arc. They then use their technology to, when he sleeps, triangulate the point of his dream, but it is apparently coming from a place that does not actually exist. They then rewire the system to show Genie's current whereabouts and are shown that he is orbiting Earth. There is a point that food is sent up to the plane, and David goes to go there, hoping that he can stop Genie.

Genie asks the businessman to make a deal with him to expand his empire. The greedy businessman accepts and tells Genie that he will sign anything he needs him to if he can expand his empire across the planet. David then breaks into the room, but is grabbed by Genie's bodyguards, as Genie takes the businessman's soul and kills him. Genie then takes everyone in the room apart from David's souls, and tells David that they all pledged allegiance to him. As David goes to attack Genie, Genie opens a door on the plane and David is almost sucked out as Genie just stands still. David clings on and hopes he will not be pulled out. Genie then opens his arms wide before electricity begins crackling around him. He tells David that absorbing the database was an advantage, and with all of the souls he now has, he can perform miracles. David dives at Genie and a bolt of electricity hits him in the palm of his hand. Genie suddenly vanishes, and, as David looks at his burnt hand, he also vanishes.

Genie reverts time and gets elected as Prime Minister during the time Earth has discovered Jaakkon and other alien planets, and is in a discussion about what to do. Genie convinces the other members of the Government that they need to attack alien planets, which causes a completely new universe getting created, in which Earth was destroyed by alien forces and everyone at Midlife were killed before Midlife was created. In the present day of that universe, David can sense Genie in a church in the post-apocalyptic planet Earth. He arrives, and Genie tells him that the satisfaction of having killed his enemies is not enough and he wants to be the ruler of everything. As David pulls out a pistol and points it at Genie points his shotgun at David. He then realises that he cannot pull the trigger and realises that they are now both connected. He tells David that as he absorbed the database and David touched a wire and felt a minute part of it, they had a connection, but their connection has only just be triggered by the electrical bolt that came off Genie and shot David. Genie then tells David that he will just have to follow him, before reverting time again.

In this reality, Genie became in charge of the Nazi party of World War II instead of Adolf Hitler and, when the world was fighting and at it's weakest, he revealed himself, and took over planet Earth, before creating his own military and attacking other planets, creating the Human Empire which he lead. When David arrived, in the modern day of that Universe, a civil war was being planned after Genie's dictatorship rule had lasted so long. Genie heard of this and sent his cyborg military after them, but some members of the group, including David, made their way into Genie's base. Genie and David argued, and Genie told David that he had no right to do this as it wasn't his universe. Meanwhile, the freedom fighters blew up some of Genie's military bases and other important areas, angering him. At the same time, the freedom fighters blew up the barrier stopping them getting distress calls off the planet and called for help. As Genie tried to escape, David stopped him, and Genie once again reverted time. This time, however, he reverted time so he could personally murder all of the freedom fighters, and then arrive at his base and continue controlling the world with an iron fist.

He sent his cyborg military to find and capture David and bring him to him. They did so and gave David to him, while Genie mocked him and told him that there is nothing that he can do. He then locks David in a cell, before shooting millions of missiles at the Heiwana hive mind, annihilating it. Soon, however, an attack on the Human Empire begins, and, as Genie tries to stop it, alien freedom fighters, who are actually Squad 5 Beta. They free David and David and Genie argue as Earth is reduced to rubble once again. As a rebellion begins and they charge towards Genie's home, Genie reverts time once more, to David's anger who demands Genie feel the consequences of his actions.

This time, however, Genie goes all of the way back to the age of steam and upgrades their technology with alien technology he had stolen. They believe him to be the greatest scientist, and they continue upgrading their world. By the 21st century, Jaakkon was already part of Genie's new Human Empire, while he was the leader of it. When David arrives, Genie controls almost the entire Universe, and everything is very Steampunk-esque. David finds Genie, and Genie tells him that this time he has created a paradise that does not need to be destroyed. David asks how he can return to his own Universe, and Genie tells him that he can't. Genie then tells him that he's come at the right time, as he is just about to use his *eradication laser* to enslave another race. He tells David that, this time, he can easily control the entire Universe. David tells Genie that he will shut this Steampunk empire down and he manages to escape, while Genie commands his steampunk-cyborg bodyguards to catch him. David sees the entire workings of the planet, now entirely made of cogs, and warns them that he will throw a bomb into it if they don't stop. Genie sees this on the monitors and goes down, asking David what he wants. David tells him that he wants to return to his universe, before throwing the bomb at Genie instead. Genie grabs it and it explodes in his hand doing him no harm. He then tells David that he will separate them and kill him.

The steampunk-cyborg bodyguards bring David back to Genie's control room where Genie enslaves a planet in a distant corner of the Universe. He tells David that this time, he can control everything, and David activates an escape chute and gets into the middle of town. He manages to rally a protest against the would-be-god, much to Genie's chagrin. He angrily tells his steampunk-cyborg bodyguards that he can use his time-travel one last time before he burns out, and this time reverts time back to the dawn of the Universe, convincing everything that he is God. After doing so, he makes everything bow down to him, and creates a paradox machine to enslave the Heiwana millions of times until they forgot that they ever had free will. In this universe, Genie has rounded up everyone who ever went to Midlife, and has locked them up. Genie, meanwhile, lives in a mothership with the Heiwana as his slaves. When he discovers that David has rescued everyone from the Midlife, he sends out his army to kill them. He then detects that they are sending out a distress call, but the call for help is then deactivated and he presumed that his army deactivated it. It is actually Tona Gondilie and the Gondilie Force, who universe-hopped and deactivated the distress call in case the Pet finders detected it and came to help.

Genie waits in his mothership, waiting for his army to bring him back those from the Midlife. As he sits on his throne, he gets a video message from Tona who tells him that they just destroyed the universe in which he took over the Nazis with ease. Genie angrily demands to know who he is, and Tona tells him that he is Tona Gondilie from Universe 1 who universe-hopped to get there and receive the distress call. As Genie sends out his entire military, Tona smiles and tells him that he can defeat Genie's entire military with just four people. He then sends out Roremon Cajikhess and the Three Nightmares, who make easy work of Genie's military. Tona then tells Genie that the escaped people from Midlife are in Genie's mothership, leading Genie to send the Heiwana to catch them. Tona, curious, asks what would happen if they reversed the paradox machine, and Genie asks how he knows about it. Tona just smiles and ends the video communication, while Genie looks for those from Midlife on the security cameras. He then realises that they are in the vents and sends the Heiwana after them.

Later on, he receives word that some of them have been caught and slaughtered by the Heiwana. At the same time, David comes behind him and points a pistol at him. As Genie reminds him that he will also die if he does that, David tells him that he does not care. Genie tells him that he knows that he is bluffing, while Leonardo, behind him, aims an eradication laser at Genie's army. Genie sees this and tears a hole in the fabric of the universe, causing the laser to instead destroy the first universe Genie made, in which Earth had been destroyed. Genie angrily strikes Leonardo to the ground and tells them that he will massacre them all. He brings the Heiwana in to kill Leonardo and, as David begs him not to, he has the Heiwana kill him. Genie tells David that soon he will be able to kill him, too. Genie then keeps David prisoner, until, suddenly, he realises that he cannot sense their connection. David reveals himself as the David from that universe, that Genie did not realise existed, and Genie angrily kills him. He then sees on the security cameras that Leonardo, Cliathan and other Gondilie Force members have found the paradox machine.

As Genie demands they not reverse it, Leonardo tells him to beg. As Genie begs him not to, Cliathan tells them that's not how they do it at the Gondilie Force. Leonardo and Genie ask how they do it at the Gondilie Force and Cliathan replies, with a smile "we get right to the point", before reversing the paradox machine. All of the Heiwana go crazy and collapse, and Leonardo tells Genie that they are just unconscious, and when they awake they will murder Genie. Genie tells them that he managed to fit a miniature paradox machine in the control panel, so he still has some Heiwana working with him, and if any other Heiwana come towards him, they will work for him. Leonardo points out how it is ironically similar to the situation with the AI in the library the last time they fought. Genie asks Leonardo which universe he is from and he tells Genie that he is from Universe 2, and the one that he just killed was the Leonardo from the universe that they are currently in. Genie tells him to shut up, and then asks where David is. Cliathan just tells Leonardo that they should leave now, and run away.

As Genie looks for him, Tona jumps into the control room via an emergency exit, and, as the Heiwana go to surround him, he grabs a lever on the control panel and tells Genie that the lever will cause all of the new universes to cannibalise themselves and get destroyed. As Genie points out that he must be bluffing, Tona stops the Heiwana and asks Genie if he wants to bet with his life. Genie and Tona argue before Tona tells Genie that this is the end of his reign, before pulling the lever. As the entire mothership shakes and the control room begins to burst into flames. Tona then says that the lever would cause the universes to cannibalise themselves if they were in *universe 2*, but it just turns the mothership on it's side in this universe. As Genie falls, he grabs onto the doorframe to stop him falling the length of the corridor, but Tona shoots him in his hand causing him to fall down the corridor. Cliathan and Leonardo then open the emergency exit, causing Genie to plummet into an abandoned Heiwana temple, that the Nightmares Reality Government chose as a point to open a portal to the Nightmare Reality. David opens the gate to the Nightmare Reality as Tona beams the Gondilie Force and everyone from Midlife to the Gondilie Force mothership, which universe-hops away to Universe 2, while Genie and the universe he is in is consumed by the Nightmare Reality and locked away forever.
