Henry Owens - Soveirgn of the Rift

[i]"What am I but a distortion, a wrong, one who should not be. But is that which allows me to see the endless possibilities that this realm can provide to me. You were gifted with the Great Convergence just like me, but what do you do? Try to forget yourselves in simple fantasies, traveling along side your heroes across stories you know well how they end. Truly you lack vision, a vision [b]I[/b] am well aware. What is comforting, status quo if you will, but a simple act of not trying hard enough, to not allow yourselves to reach your true potential. This are worlds made of dreams, but we...no..[b]I'm[/b] the dreamer!! My body may have been twisted, my mind driven to insanity by forces nobody could ever comprehend. But I don't mind...in fact I welcome it. Let me show you how good it feels. How much you can do when you just allow yourself to do the same thing you once did from the other side of the screen...play. yes, play. If I may be forever bind to these universe of tales, then I shall take it all as my playground. This Fantasy is mine!"[/i]

[b]Name:[/b] Henry J. Owens

[b]Age:[/b] 26

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Appearance:[/b]

Henry appears to be a somewhat tall and slim person, but with a fair muscular build. With pale skin and rough black hair mixed with white chunks (most noticeable near the forehead). His eyes are of a brown color and he seems to sport some strange black marks under his eyes as well as in many parts of his body; which also seem to be slowly increasing and growing. His body seems to be scarred and burned in some areas, many (if not all) seem to come from self-mutilation for the sake of experimenting. As his [i]"state"[/i] progresses, he may transform for the worse...

He wears what it looks like some kind of armor with a clockwork-like design; painted in grey, silver and black, with a big core light on the chest and lines of light crossing athrough certain areas and sides. Piston like structures sprout like spikes from the shoudler area, filled with strange glowing ooze, while everything underneath the armor seems to be covered in old bandages and basic clothing. On his face he has some kind of visor which can also activate a mouth mask to cover him. Also, when not in conmbat he tends to cover himself with an old brown cape around his body.

[b]Alignment:[/b] Evil

[b]Personality:[/b]

Henry is truly a twisted person. At some point of his lfie, he was kind yet unfortunate human being, but after he crossed between realms, his mind was changed into a selfish, cold and demented individual.

His ambitions are the only thing that he cares about, and those ambitions involve experimenting and causing chaos to everyone and everything in the worlds. Willingly to cause grief and pain wherever he goes just for the sake of his sadistic science, or for mere entretaiment. He mostly appears to be a calm and collected mind at first glance, and he is able to remain cold whenever the situation calls for it. But sooner or later, the cracks of his insanity start to show, revealing his much frantic and furious side when things do not go as planned.

After his mind was twisted into who he is now by unknown forces, his view of the world changed into a very sinister one. The worlds being just mere playthings to his powers, like the games they are based on, and him to be something closer of a god as he hails from the realm that in one way or another, is the reason the Realm of Waking exists. He is aware of his own insanity but rather than trying to find a way out of it, he is completly proud of his own madness, just wanting nothing but to break the [i]"status quo"[/i] and use entire worlds as his test subjects.

[b]Powers:[/b]

Henry has the power of [b][i]Spatial Manipulation[/i][/b], also nicknamed [b][i]Rift Magic[/i][/b] for it use of tears into the fabric of space. This magic is extremly dangerous, with a tremendous magic not many elements having a resistance to it. It is also very erritic and wild, so sometimes it can go out of control, as well as corrupt the body even further with prolonged use.

The magic grows and become stronger as the body starts to be consumed by it, the flesh becoming much monstrous with the passage of time, but the magic itself increasing and granting new abilities.

[u]Rift:[/u] The most used power of the [i]Spacial Manipulation[/i]. As it name implied, it allows to create a tear in the fabric of space, or a Rift as it is better known. The size and amount of power used on each Rift determines its difficulty as well as its use.

The most common rifts are used to travel shorter distances by setting . They require less magic, but become more difficult if they are anused too quickly and too many times consecutively.

Bigger Rifts allow to travel between further points, even across worlds if possible. These ones require a lot of magic being pumped at first, but their one-way use allows for a low difficulty to cross.

[u]Spatial Slicer:[/u] What seems like a simple energy slash attack it's actually an actual slice of reality being launch at the opponent, taking the shape of a powerful dark purple energy arc wave. Due to its nature, it's incredibly difficult to block by non-magical means without repercussions.

[u]Vortex Blast:[/u] A powerful discharge of space-bending energy by the use of unstable rifts. Similar to the Spatial Slicer in nature (a cut in the fabric of reality) but rather than presented in a slicing wave, it manifests in a laser-like beam that distorts space around it, as well as where it impacts. Its slower but packs a bigger punch.

[u]Distortion:[/u] As it name implies, it allows Henry to mess with the fabric of reality on a determined area, but not to the fully extend of opening a Rift. this causes the space around to distort and damage, as well as lower power and defense of any enemies that are on target. [b]Locked[/b]

[b]Abilities:[/b] In trade for the constant corruption of his mind and body, Henry was rewarded with a massive intellect, learnining skills and information about the worlds (even some he didn't play) in mere seconds. With it, he decided to focus on two areas: [i]Mechanics[/i] and [i]Alchemy[/i].

From his own corrupted blood he managed to create a special serum he calls [b][i]Cruor[/i][/b], which he has different uses for. From powering up his evil machines to an important ingridient in all his alchemy concoctions. For living beings other than himself, however, it is extremly toxic.

He also has a mastery on machinery and robotics. Utilizing this foul serum to power up his machine, he combines dark arts with technology to create his army or loyal minions.

[b]Weapons:[/b]

His main weapon is his [i]Razor Whip[/i]: a long retractable whip made out of a resistant but light metal, with razors along its length and a bladed tip to both slice and impale oponents and objects. It is able to retract into the gauntlet on his right hand.

[b]Equipment:[/b]

-A cruor-fueled clockwork armor with high-tech functionality. It is equipped with a computer interface that can manage data, maps and scans of nearby objects.

-Besides his main alchemy laboratory in his HQ, he has a small kit with vials and ingridiants whenever he is away.

[b]History:[/b]

Henry was just regular guy in the Realm of Reality, going through life and living a boring life. He was always struggling through things; constantly being fired from jobs no matter how hard he tried and not having any friends to spend his time with. However, he was not, by any means, a malicious person. Just lonely.

His only seclution were his videogame collection, where he was able to accomplish amazing feats...to be important...to have a meaning. Of course, for him, that was just fantasy, and knew very well that eventually he'd have to return to his depressing life. But still he remained hopeful that one day, his luck may have take a turn for the better.

Sadly, life sometimes is a cruel mistress. A very cruel and ironic one at that. One day, in another of his nightly runs of KH2, a power outrage interrupted his play. He was confused, as nothing but his apartment room seemed to be affected, and he ahd payed the electric bill this time around. But the oddest thing of all was how the tv was still on. He then pulled the plug just to realize it still worked.

Curiosity the struck, he slowly moves his hand towrds the screen. Just one touch, to see if something happened. Nothing would go wrong, he thought...

In that instant, he was consumed by a powerful light and, in the blink of an eye, transported off his apartment into a long tunnel of energy. He didn't know how long he was there. It felt like an eternity.

This was natural in the nature of the Realm of Waking, specially recently thanks to the Great Convergence. But this time, with this particular person, someone...or something, changed things around. His body started to be consumed in pain, strange purple energy striking him like lightning. Something in him changed that moment, his mind was compeltly twisted by this mysterious force of distortion, granting him incredible intelligence, but at the same time driving him insane in the process.

After time passed, he was then left drifting and bleeding inside. A small Gummi Ship, by the looks of it old and abandoned. Pullign his new mastery to work, he proceeded to put it back to function, before disappearing the depths of the Gummi space.

Nobody have heard much of him, but somehow. He has slowly managed to gain materials and funds, as he builds something hidden inside the endless cosmos. Due to the nature of the worlds, time crossed different where he was standing, so much work could be done as the rest of the people remained blind to his actions. Little by little he was preparing himself to do amazing feats...to become importan...to have a meaning. but unfortunatly for the worlds, this were not the ambitions of a hero, far from that...

If he was now to live in this world of fantasy. He'll do everything in his power to turn that fantasy into his...
