Rip in the World

Villain profiles:

Letum Zivaku

Position: Prince of Omega Empire

Appearance: Has glowing red eyes, fanged teeth, and bony horns on his forehead like his mother, as well as short, spiked black hair. He has black wings with red undersides that are akin to a dragon's wings hidden under his clothing, though they allow for flight on a moment's notice. Essentially, he looks exactly like a fifteen-year-old Naito Zivaku, but with those changes. Wears several different outfits, ranging from rags and a dirty cap to a helmetless Omega soldier's uniform, to his usual outfit. That outfit is a pair of midnight blue, knee-high boots and gray pants, with a navy blue jacket with silver lining open over a blue shirt. On the back of the jacket is a silvery-blue Omega symbol with an inner, identically colored backward C-like arc, both outlined in blood red.

Abilities:
- Flight with the use of his wings
- Can mask his appearance with Dark Will Karmic Illusion inversions (learned from the Jessicas)
- Has access to multiple Jade Empire styles:
-- Spirit Thief (attacks let out streams of purple energy that transfer Chi from victim to user)
-- Legendary Strike (basic hand-to-hand style)
-- Stone Immortal (Weak Attack: rapid-fire small stones; Strong Attack: earth bulges along a line, petrifying the victim if it touches them; Area Attack: stone spikes burst from the ground around the user, throwing enemies back)
- Chi Heal: can use magical energy to heal his wounds in streams of white light or to heal those close to him at the expense of comparative amounts of magic
- Soul-binding by fang bite or Jade Empire method
- Teleportation by swirls of darkness
- Zivaku magic absorption (never shown)
- Increased power for abilities at night (though less so than his mother)
- Crescent ability (never needs to use due to Folkvangr's constant blood-red crescent moon)
- ALL MASS EFFECT 3 ADEPT SKILLS

Weapons: His fists, and most other weapons he comes across. Also has a personalized longsword with a steel blade marked with a snake, a lion, and a rabbit along the side that he calls the Zodiac Blade, a mark of his status with a look that is a composition of Aselian and Nippon art.

Personality: Growing up with a physically abusive relationship with his parents, Letum has fear of them when he is forced to endure failures, though he bows when in their presence. He is intelligent, taking to manipulation as much as possible to get what he needs out of others. Due to his parents' position in the religion of the empire, he views himself as a god and son of deities, though he does not flaunt that fact as his sister sometimes does, only using it to get through the Churches of Diana. In combat, he is prone to sadistic behavior, trying to subdue his targets without killing them in order to interrogate or just hurt them for longer periods of time later in order to please his family. He hates his bodyguard, as he will not listen to his orders unless specifically told to do so by Diana. Like his sister, he can easily be diagnosed as a psychopath, though he is far calmer than she is. He cares for his sister, and is upset when she comes to harm, though he can become easily exasperated with her actions or attitude. Typically Lawful Evil, though leaning toward Neutral Evil.

Nyx Zivaku

Position: Princess of Omega Empire

Appearance:  Has glowing red eyes, fanged teeth, and bony horns on his forehead like her mother, as well as long very dark gray hair that just barely borders on black. She has red wings with black undersides that are akin to a dragon's wings hidden under her clothing, though they allow for flight on a moment's notice. She appears to be...well, let's just say that Nyx's picture is going to have some accuracy about her that she worked in for her own reasons. However, this alteration to her look is merely a function of gene tonics injected into her in order to keep all soldiers professional around her, and so can wear off over time to a relatively small degree. Wears several different outfits, ranging from rags to a helmetless Omega soldier's uniform, to her usual outfit. That outfit is an orange miniskirt with a purple lining and black, shorter shoes, with a dark brown jacket similar to her brother's zipped up about five-sixths of the way, but still showing a long-sleeve white shirt beneath with a similar purple lining to her skirt and an orange ascot around her neck.

Abilities:
- Flight with the use of her wings
- Can mask his appearance with Dark Will Karmic Illusion inversions (learned from the Jessicas)
- Has access to multiple Jade Empire styles:
-- Viper (strong and fast hand-to-hand style with snake-like attacks with both hands acting like snakes, green auras over them)
-- Tempest (Weak Attack: rapid-fire small bursts of wind; Strong Attack: single blast of wind from one palm like a tornado, throwing target into the air; Area Attack: tornados come down in a circle around the user, cycling around her and tossing targets into the air) (Learned from Audrey in a [failed] attempt from Elena to gain some ground with Diana)
- Chi Heal: can use magical energy to heal his wounds in streams of white light or to heal those close to her at the expense of comparative amounts of magic
- Has access to the Sonic Boom plasmid, which forces targets back with an extremely strong blast of wind and deals a lot of damage, as well as being far faster than the Tempest strong attack
- Soul-binding by fang bite or Jade Empire method
- Teleportation by swirls of darkness
- Zivaku magic absorption (never shown)
- Increased power for abilities at night (though less so than her mother)
- Crescent ability (never needs to use is due to Folkvangr's constant blood-red crescent moon)
- Darkness Magic (from Ginunngagap influencing her mana flow)
-- Darkness Sight: Can see in the dark as easily as in the light.
-- Pitch Black: The user coats themselves in a faint layer of Darkness that cancels all light reflected off them, effectively turning them invisible.
-- Obscure: Casts a barrier of darkness around the eyes of a target, blinding them for a short time.
-- Sharpened Shadows: The caster coats their weapon(s) in solidified shadows; the blades are literally supernaturally sharpened to the point that they are 2.5x as damaging.
-- Shadowed Soul: The user can cast this spell to either absorb the excess darkness from a fading Heartless to heal themselves, or to absorb the energy from dark element attacks to restore their magic.  If the latter is used, they are still damaged by the attacks.
-- Shadow Armor: The user now coats themselves in a suit of armor made of pure shadow; movement and speed are impaired, but their defense is severely increased and even their attack gets a bonus.
-- Sentient Shadow: Life is breathed into the caster’s shadow, summoning an ally of equal strength and skill to the caster.  This continuously depletes the user’s magic and the shadow will revert when the magic runs out.  Magic restoring items aren’t as effective while this is in effect. Shadow may detonate when the use is completed.
-- Darkest Abyss: This spell summons a portion of the World of Darkness into the Realm of Light; within that area, light ceases to exist and Heartless attack without fear of much retaliation.  The summoned portion will return after a few minutes, leaving behind some of the low level Heartless in the process. May begin with the collapse of a small amount of darkness, forming a kind of magnetic "black hole."
-- Shadow Warp: Can teleport between shadows in swirls of darkness.

Weapons: Anything available. Her signature weapon is the Celestial Scythe, a crimson-bladed scythe with a black handle in a composite style of Aselian and Nippon art, a symbol of her status in the empire.

Personality: While she is good at manipulating others alongside her brother, Nyx is more eager to just fight something, far more crazed than he is. She absolutely hates the members of AEK, especially Abigail, who ruins fights by firing at them from the shadows. Nyx is very sadistic, willing to gravely injure in order to get what she wants out of who she is talking to. Unlike her brother, she is proud of her apparent goddess status, and so is not afraid to tell people of it quickly in order to get their immediate respect. She follows her brother's orders, but does not mind the bodyguard very much, not seeing him to be an issue if she even considered him a person. Like her brother, she is terrified of her parents' reactions to their failures, though she bows with him when in their presence. She has a pet Howler named Garm, with some metal implants to keep him loyal to her. Though insane, she does see the advantage of taking people in alive or using leverage, only having some brief times of purely Stupid Evil, mainly being Chaotic Evil with leans toward the Neutral part of Order vs Chaos.

Events
-Phase 1: Apart
-- Nyx
--- Nyx runs and sees Greg, Kairi, Isaac, Naito, Kyn, Cheryl, and Kalas, telling them what happened in Aselia in a panic, since she did it on her own, telling them someone opened Ginnungagap. Identifies Isaac as her dad, confusing Naito and the others.
-- Letum
--- Meanwhile, Jasmine finds Letum, who impersonates Naito and gets her to go to his ship through the talk.
--- He begins tests to experiment on her, explaining his plan with Niflheim and the Reapers, then leaves her.
- Phase 2: Together, Aselia (Other Worlds)
-- In Remote Island, Aselia, learn of full situation and how only Asgard and Remote Island remain safe, with the Otherworldly Gate practically fully off limits. Emil is in the Island too and offers to take them to Ginnungagap to close it, and Yuan gives his plan, which all object to on the grounds that it will destroy Altmira and the earthquakes might destroy the Toize Valley Mines. Upon realizing there is no choice, they decide to go immediately (Kairi staying behind to help defend against the demons with canons), with Aska's aid, though he cannot bring them in as they need all of the Spirits in order to close it. Fights with all dragon Demon types of enemies. On way, Nyx leaves, finding Letum at the Otherworldly Gate which is open. Shouting at her for being incompetent and leading them right to them, but teleports back to his ship to prepare. Nyx is chased into Ginnungagap.
- Phase 3: Ginnungagap (Other Worlds)
-- In Ginnungagap, Isaac wounded as they travel in, and he, Kalas, and Lucifer Hold The Line against demons coming back to make sure they can't close it. Nyx comes and uses her Darkness magic to damage Lucifer until he Promotes, then panics and retreats, back into the mouth more as Kalas is told to keep going as Isaac continues. Boss battle between everyone and Nyx, who takes to beating up Naito and trying to make him surrender, saying what happened to Jasmine, which drives him near Tsuki, Laughing Mad increasingly. Tackled through the gate by Isaac, and Verius, the only unused Spirit, teleports them all out, saying that Gnome has been saved and telling Richter (in there and still in Lord of Flames mode) to stay and be careful. Mana Cannon blows through and locks the gate long enough for Richter to reseal it with Ratatosk. Gnome gives word to Luna and Aska that he will help the Interferences if necessary for what they have done (optional) and Verius takes Kairi as a Summoner.
- Phase 4: Harbinger of Ablution (Gummi Space)
-- Siege of the ship, with all types of Husks on board. Jasmine helps, having broken free, but is speared through the back by Letum. Final battle with him that ends up destroying ship using a Limit between all present, Naito reviving Jasmine after through the use of a "Genesis" spell from his native Blessed set and passing out, going through his Awakening with her where their minds establish a psychic link.
