This is an article about Ignis Darkblood, a character created by CrimsonFlame2K on 06/27/2014.

Ignis Darkblood, codenamed Copy-Blitz before completion, is a copy of Blitz the Wolf created by Krieg using the blood of the former and the blood of a Hell Creature before the events of Darkness Trigger: Savage Retribution, the third and final game of the Hell Prizm trilogy.

He first served as a major antagonist in said game, but as the game progressed, Ignis felt anger towards the Hollow when he saw what had happened to the Hell Creatures that have failed their mission and lived. Now, he fights to atone for all the evil he has done. By the end of Savage Retribution, Ignis felt that it was only right to relieve the remaining Hell Creatures from their services until they are needed again before he disappeared for 5 years.

Savage Retribution - Mortal Revolution
His fur and hair color is similar to Blitz's. The only difference is that Ignis has red streaks around his hair. Also unlike Blitz, who has brown eyes (purple while in possession of the Void Shard), Ignis' eyes have an icy-blue shade. He happens to be only as tall as Blitz. However, his soul was removed from his body by Nimbus, and was eventually fused into the body of the recently-completed Cypher Unit: Omega in Mortal Revolution.

Terminal Endgame
Being unable to find his original body after being rescued, construction for a new body that will suit Ignis began. The body itself is drastically different from the old one. Instead of having white hair with red-streaks and grey fur, Ignis' hair AND fur are completely red. His eyes also have a darker shade of royal blue. He also happens to be an inch taller than Blitz.

Savage Retribution
His outfit was a dead ringer Blitz's own. The red trench coat, the black pants, the boots, everything. The only difference is that the left sleeve of the jacket was pulled down. This is probably to cover the Phantom Spark.

GUN Rebellion trilogy
In the G.U.N. Rebellion trilogy, he wears a black trench coat with red inner linings, a grey v-neck shirt, black jeans, and black steel-toed boots. This is probably due to the fact that Ignis wants to be his own person instead of being just a copy of Blitz.

Personality
Ignis, for the most part, is the exact opposite of Blitz, being more serious and nonchalant most of the time. However, he still does have a sense of humor, which develops as the series progresses, and he can be a little arrogant at times. However, at least in Savage Retribution, when someone mentions anything about his past in his presence, he gets crazy p*ssed in 3-millionths of a second.

For a while after defecting from Krieg's army, Ignis doubted his own existence and well-being for the longest time. However, his experience with Blitz and his friends gave him a new lease in life. He even started developing feelings for a certain timber wolf...

Creation
Some time before the events of Savage Retribution, Krieg created Ignis and made him to be superior to Blitz in almost every way. This includes far stronger Umbrakinetic ablities, due to the crystal imbued with darkness, and a sword that surpasses Bloody Rebel, named the Crimson Obsidian. Along with these, Krieg gave him the ability of Pyrokinesis, being given the crystal imbued with fire, representing that he will be the "fire that will burn all of mortalkind".

Rage from the Glacier
2 years after the events of Savage Retribution, Ignis continued his travels around the United Federation. He had just returned from a recent trip to Empire City until he heard voices. Having nothing else to do, he follows the sources of the voice and comes across ten figures, each wearing a snow-white garb and holding either a book or a staff.

Dark Pyrokinesis
With the Phantom Spark, Ignis is able to manipulate dark fire, which he uses expertly. He can also infuse his power into his sword, the Crimson Obsidian. After the events of Savage Retribution, he spent his time trying to polish his powers and sword-fighting skills even further.

However, when he was transferred to his new body in Terminal Endgame, he had lost much of his power, due to the Phantom Spark being still with Ignis' original body, which was taken by Alpha. Fortunately, he ultimately realizes that the Phantom Spark wasn't just a piece of equipment, it was also a part of he who was and still is. And so, through massive effort, managed to spark a flame of dark fire, reigniting his powers into action.

Equipment

 * Crimson Obsidian - Ignis' sword. The dark counterpart of Blitz's Bloody Rebel. The blade itself is colored black with red accents, and has a fairly wide tip. The hilt is colored a dark shade of brown and the edges around it are also colored red. It is also his go-to method of using his Dark Pyrokinesis.
 * Phantom Spark - An artificial copy of Blitz's Darkness Trigger. The Phantom Spark is the source of Ignis' Dark Pyrokinesis and amplifies said power when activated. However, the Phantom Spark was taken by Alpha, along with Ignis' original body. However, Ignis realizes that the Phantom Spark was not just some tool, it was a part of him, and ultimately kicks his powers back into action.
 * Omega Trigger - Re-purposed into a replacement for the Phantom Spark from Ignis' body during his time as Cypher Unit: Omega, it amplifies Ignis' new powers, along with his reignited Dark Pyrokinesis, for a limited time.

Friends and Allies

 * Blitz the Wolf - A former foe, Ignis is now one of Blitz's friends. Though their personalities may clash often, they always have each other's backs in battle.
 * Whirlwind the Hedgehog - After defecting from Krieg's cause and saving Blitz from his prison, Ignis runs into the White Hurricane of Terror himself. Whirlwind is the one who inspired Ignis' decision to fight against Krieg to atone for all he has done before.
 * Knockout the Wolf - Ignis first runs into Knockout as one of Krieg's servants. However, a while after defecting from Krieg's army, he saves her from a Hell Nightmare. While he says that he only did it because the Hell Nightmares were Krieg's creations, Ignis felt slightly concerned for her on the inside. This hints that he may harbor some feelings for her, which progressively shows as the G.U.N. Rebellion trilogy progresses further.

Enemies

 * Krieg the Hollow Blitz - His former master. Ignis left him after feeling betrayed when he saw more copies of himself. Since then, he has tried to become his own person. However, after the events of Krieg's Rebound, the Hollow had saved Blitz from certain death while he faced his. Shocked, Ignis had trouble believing Blitz at first, but soon understood.
 * Nimbus - A Major General in the Foxtrot Division of the Central Guard of G.U.N. Ignis hates the guy and his subordinates (and master) for trying to rebel against the very organization they work for.

 * Oh, what the hell! Why don't I just leave, give up and let it go away... - Ignis debating whether he should just give up or keep fighting.

 * Ignis' design in the GUN Rebellion trilogy is similar to Dante's outfit in the reboot.
 * Considering that Dante was given a redesign in the reboot and Ignis changing his outfit to be himself, this fits.
