Mephisto the Corrupt, formerly known as Mephisto the Blank, is the second-to-last youngest of the eight Apocalyptics, and is the sole reason for most of the Eight's corruption and defeat; as well as their diminished power.

About

Name: Mephisto the Corrupt, formerly owning the title 'Mephisto the Blank'

Gender: Male

Age

Physically: Looks 20

Chronologically: Unknown

Powers

Originally being only able to use the element of Dark, Mephisto had proven himself to be quite adept with it. He could shape it into any shape he chose, which was not limited to, but included: Constructs, Weapons, and Armor or Defenses. Of course, it was also a curse, as it had left him feeling apathetic and empty. A fact which was supported by his ability to change into shadows.

After having the darkened Dynatium infused into his body, Mephisto soon gained the capability of using more elements, though his own variants are more corrupted elements; polluted water, black ice, really any of corrupted elements. However, because the elemental energy drained was not enough, he does and can not use the elements to the same degree that the rest of his 'kin' can; leaving Dark to be the only element he can use perfectly. Due to this, he can form constructs out of elements, but cannot turn his own body into these elements; leaving Dark being the only one he can change into.

Of course, though he does not have the same potential of his kin, he has inherited the weaknesses. Any element he uses means he is vulnerable to the element of the opposite spectrum. The one constant weakness however, is Light. No matter what element he uses, he will always be vulnerable to Photokinetics and Photomancers.

Abilities

Mephisto, having attributes from his kin, has inherited physical capabilities from both of them. He has greater speed than most, greater strength, and increased lung capacity; though this is something he doesn't need. Added to this is his ability to fly, he can go a great distance without needing to stop; which is bolstered by his large wings.

Appearance

True Form

Mephisto himself had once resembled Nocturneos in his True Form, resembling a figure cloaked in shadow. However, his escapade with the tainted Dynatium had changed him considerably. He now more resembles an amalgam of elemental creatures. The tattered clothing of what he once used to be, the right wing of a Phoenix, the head of a Leviathan, the right arm and torso of a Rock Golem, the left arm of an Eel, bulked up to match his right arm, the left wing of a Bat, the legs of a yeti, and the antennae of a moth. He has become digusted by this appearance and so keeps himself in his mobian form to avoid resembling it, though he will unwillingly shift into this form should he get too angry.

Mobian Form

Mephisto is inky black, this coloring extending to a large portion of his body, with the obvious exceptions being his muzzle and the inside of his ears. His muzzle is a pale white, the inside of his ears sharing this coloring.

History

(Oh Hello there. Let me ask you something. Would you like to hear a story? Its about a poor soul, who was destined by fate to become one of the most evil people in history. If you do not want to hear it then I understand, but it is a story worth listening to. This is the story of the demon, Mephisto the Corrupt, or as he calls himself Mephisto the "God"

Birth

Like Nocturneos, Mephisto was the oldest of Flasheona and himself, also being the second-to-last born. Unlike nocturneos he was called Nocturne and He and his sister were hated by them all. Of course, the two eventually grew smart and safely eluded their family, at least for the time being.

On the run

About two days after we ran from our siblings, the six found them again.Soon after they found us, we ran again. A day after they still found us, of course we tried to run, but this time they stopped us. Ignis, the leader of the group and most violent of the group, beat us until there was nothing left. Than he let his savage family torture us, either with dreams of escape or fake kindness(which was mostly used by tidalo and zaplin). Than their chance for escape came, while they all asleep from their annual sibling fight, my cage was unlocked, due to the fact that Cronos, who was acting as an idiot at the time, was the one who latched it. Nocturne unlocked Flasheona's cage, picked her up(she was beaten to the point where she was unconscious and had trouble getting up) and carried her off with his waning strength.

A new Home

About an hour into our escape, I began to get tired, and with my and her injuries being so bad we would definitely have to set up a place to hide. When I landed, she woke up and I collapsed. She was fearful, that he was dead, but of course he wasn't... I was just fighting to stay conscious. She picked her brother up, gave him support and she continued onward. After they had got far, a pillar of fire, Ignis knew we escaped, and he was burning mad(of course his emotion was hatred so it wasn't unexpected.) We knew we had to make a hideout for our survival, but it was also clear that they could sense our location wherever we set up so we had to think fast. We set up a base made of our own elements and certain materials and ensured they could not find it. That was our new home and we were happy for a time. But of course it would not last.

Vengeance is desired

A year after we made our home, tragedy struck. When Flasheona and Nocturne returned home with supplies, they found that Ignis, the leader of the six, had somehow found it, he set fire to it believing they were in it. After getting what Nocturne could, a tattered black overcoat and some red shoes, as well as some gray, now ruined gloves, we watched as our home, our sanctuary burned down. But, as he watched it, something in him snapped. Ignis had set up his own death in motion and unwittignly brought the rise of Mephisto, who was born of Nocturne's anger. Flasheona also apparently sensed it and grew worried about her dear brother.

Revenge is bittersweet

Since their home was gone, we had to continue moving around again, but this time we had shedded the tattered clothing we were stuck with since we were 'born' and replaced them wth the clothing we managed to save from the fire(although hers were cleaner than mine for some reason). But, it was different this time around. Whenever Flasheona went to bed, the boy would always wake up and train for his lone vengeance and vendetta. He continued this exercise each day, until finally Nocturne knew he was ready, or so he thought. One night, when Flasheona went to bed, I went after my savage siblings, although unbeknownst to the boy at the time, Flasheonaa had followed him. When he found them they couldn't believe it, especially Ignis(after he told them he burnt their home down with Nocturne and Flasheona in it.). Filled with rage at his embarrassment, Ignis charged at Nocturne, only for Nocturne to kill him with a black lance forged from shadows being sent into his own black heart. After Nocturne slew Ignis, his brother's body burned away, leaving nothing but moldering ash. The members of the group, who witnessed the death of their leader attempted to recruit me, but what did I do? I simply tortured them, the way they had done to us. I slaughtered them all, absorbing each of their powers as I went, Tiderin was the last of them. He begged me for mercy, even trying to pull the "I always helped you" trick. I decided to give him taste of all of their medicine, I promised I wouldn't hurt him and 'let him go'. But when he was almost to the door, I... broke my promise by sending an ice lance straight into his blackened heart. By then, all that remained of my now deceased family was a pile or puddle of their attribute(although Cronos had managed to cheat his death), I picked up shards of their indiviual onyx took a lace and looped them around the lace so as to remind myself that they were all gone(though this wasn't the case withIgnis). Unfortunately, I saw that Flasheona had seen the attack, I saw on her face a look I would see again later on(to this day all I knew of that look was that it was happiness and horror mixed into one.), Before I could explain, she ran off, this stung my heart deeply, and when I returned to the camp, I saw only the things I had brought, any evidence indicating Flasheona was there... was gone. This betrayal drove made me realize, that no one can be trusted, except for myself. After I realized this, I burned the camp, and the home of the fallen savages down with my newly acquired fire powers, and left my old life as the anti- nocturneos to Start my search for Flasheona to make sure she stays safe, I may be a monster but even I care about her

Residence and Moebius

After Mephisto left, he started mumbling to himself about why Flasheira had 'betrayed' him. Soon after I arrived at a moebian town, I learned that she had arrived an hour earlier, though she had already left. I soon started to wander, where it would be that I saw a group of heroes defending two people from a group of vilains. This angered me as I was reminded of my torments and beatings, as well as the fact that people never came to defend us. So I decided to lend some aid to the villains, coolly and quickly killing the heroes. The villains did what they did and thanked me, although they soon tried to jump me. I beat them all and forced them to tell me where to find residence, they gave me an address to an old warehouse owned by a old man. I reached the place, went up, and made my home there. Although the old dude did have some objections. I shut him up by giving some rings I stole from the thugs.

The Imprisonment

While I was resting and walking around in the warehouse I had learned that some people, led by the same villains I beat up were coming to destroy me. I was enraged upon hearing this and I went to finally settle this conflict. Unfortunately while I was decimating the group these villains along with some heroes they were apparently temporarily working with, the same old man who Nocturne took the warehouse from, had somehow managed to find his Onyx and sealed himaway. That made me mad, seeing as how he could never find his sister, yet ironically she had asked to be sealed away by the old man and he had her gem the whole time. After that, I was sealed away, biding my time and planning my revenge on those who would definitely deserve it.

Release and the Rise of the Demon

After a thousand years of waiting, being forced to transfer hands from descendant to descandant of the old man's descendants and their descendants, Nocturne was finally set free. A hedgehog by the name of Draxx who believed Mephisto's gem to be a unstoppable source of power, finally let the being into the world. Unfortunately for Mephisto, his form and power was weak from being sealed away so long, took his flesh as my own and simply used it to restore myself, before and after I did that I saw a bat who looked exactly like me, and Flasheona and a hedgehog who looked like her. I had heard from a angry, green hedgehog( who I swear I thought was blue) Started complaining about being an evil twin to some blue guy. After hearing this I was convinced my good half was somewhere out there and I had founf him. Disgusted by this discovery, he began to shape his own form into one he was more comfortable in. The hedgehog, who was oblivious to my invasion, soon began to fight another one who was much bigger. I delighted in this because after taking a little search from my host's mind I saw that the larger hedgehog was his disowned son. The fight ended with the son conquering the father. After they left another hedgehog similar to the other one came and tried to revive my host. Since I was bored I decided to give him a little help. The two jumped off the ledge and we found ourselves ina small jungle. We walked off and I simply just went to sleep.

Freedom and a New Form

after a few days of residing in this guy's heart,(it was as black as I was) I decided to leave, of course Nocturneos(Whose name I had just learned) Sensed me and tried to force me out of Draxx's heart. I didn't care what he thought so I forced him back with my mind and poured out of Draxx in a gust of black smoke. I reformed with my new appearance, a black demonic version of myself with smaller ears(no matter what I tried I could not get my horns to fit with those annoying bat ears, so I traded them for some hedgehog ears). Nocturneos, Flasheona, and the Flasheona look-a-like(try as I might I still could not find out her name) tried to shoot me with a mix of dark and light energy, I swatted it away, laughed, and blew them back with my own powers, the powers of the void. I left the area and landed in a small alley. after that I began wandering around while causing people to scream and wet themselves(which I found hilarious). I realized that these idiots would get me caught and so I flew into an alley, waited for an unsuspecting victim. Luckily Fate had come in the name of a bat named Spilker. He came for some reason unknown and I stole and devoured his soul. His body now being a lifeless husk, I entered it and merged his body with mine.  I left the alley now being totally inconspicous to anyone who saw me.

Encountering Nocturneos and a Hedgewolf

About a week into my release and escape, I found myself face to face with Nocturneos once again. This time witha brown hedgewolf in tow. They both fought me to a standstill forcing me back and nearly killing me with their powers. I faked my destruction though and hid in a shadow using my powers to shield myself from detection, I slunk off in anger and shame and wondered what to do. While I was thinking I noticed a strand of gray hair on my coat. It belonged to the hedgewolf, I smiled and knew what I would do, I would make my own Circit.

Creating Rixcit and a Workplace

Luckily Spilker was a scientist and owned his personal large lab, with assitants and such and I had his memories and experience. I went to his work that day and forced everyone to leave, I needed a special place to work on my project. So I chose a hallway,ripped the wall of, and hollowed the patch out, making it sound-proof and adding a permanent illusion to make everyone think it isn't fake. I carried technology they used into the area and made it technology-ready, making my own tech to replace ones I couldn't find. When I was done I simply replaced the area with a metal wall and a door, also adding a permanent illusion to that to make it seem like the wall was always there. When I finished with my special lab, I destroyed the wall to make sure people couldn't find it. After that I returned home to Spilker's residence, thought I also refurnished it to fit me as well as making it invisible to anyone on the outside. The next day everyone came back to work, they were curious about my actions yesterday and I assured them it was fine. After they went to work I went straight into my lab and started preparing to make The clone. I took the hair from my pocket, by now I had reverted back and added it to a small beaker. I copied the DNA, rearranged it a little and to make it dark I added some of my blood. I prepared it, stabilized it, and than prepaed to use it and I entered the DNA into the cloner. It analyzed a little, I got bored and nodded off. I woke up to find the cloning chamber was glowin red. It opened and out came a Pure-white hedgewolf, with black and red eyes(My contribution I bet). I provided him with some clothing and gave him his name. Rixcit. He unfortunately started ignoring me, and really just did what he wanted to. I kept him in the lab for a couple days to let him build his strength and when he was energized I took him out without anyone noticing and forced him back to my residence. After he got situated with normal and social life I kicked him out, he was probably very happy to go too. Tired from this idiot's actions, I rested for the rest of the day.)

Ah, now this is a tale that many would have liked to avoid. Course, not many know that it's even real. After all, who would believe that a deity, formerly a denizen of the darkness like his fellow dark deities, would be corrupted into something with no qualms about the destruction of a world? It's a legend after all, something told about a figure from so long ago. But I suppose that you really don't care, do you? Very well, I will tell you the story about the last of the Apocalyptics, Mephisto the Corrupt. Formerly Mephisto the Blank.

The Beginning

Now, in order to know about Mephisto, you must first know about the Calamities and the Apocalyptics. Deities that roamed the world, naturally gifted with the powers of the elements. Now, they weren't like most gods, no they were not. Each of these two groups were bound by gems, gems that were gifted to those who wouldn't lose their mind; or would have the unending need to draw upon these gems. Ah, but before I get off track, let us continue. The Apocalyptics and the Calamities were beings of power, taking upon the forms of mythical creatures. Among these two groups were Nocturneos, and Mephisto the Blank; both beings of shadow. Now, these two were powerful, being the second to last of both groups to be brought into existence. The two, having been created close to each other, were inseparable. Of course, this all had to change eventually. They were both of course different, Nocturneos instead inheriting the power; and Mephisto inheriting both the power and the personality. One was cold, the other even more so. One surrounded by good, the other surrounded by apathy. This had led Mephisto to develop a sort of self-perceived emptiness, which he soon realized was jealousy of Nocturneos. Of course, Mephisto, being as apathetic as he was, did not understand why he was jealous. Of course, he believed that it was due to Nocturneos being stronger, as he had never seen Nocturneos harassed by his own 'kin'. Due to this, Mephisto soon attempted to gain power, through any means. Though this had failed as he was discovered and ridiculed by his own kin; something that would gnaw at him almost as bad as the jealousy he had for Nocturneos. Driven by both feelings, he had begun looking for more ways to gain power, earning the title of 'Mephisto the Blank' from his 'kin'. He soon happened upon a way, the Dynatium which grew upon Tytan and Khronos could absorb power; with this knowledge in tow he soon began a plot. As he could not obtain any from Tytan, he instead took Khronos' own more tainted Dynatium in order to leech power from his 'kin'.

The Fall

Of course, not that any of them knew, the second he took Khronos' Dynatium was the second the plan failed. For Khronos' dynatium was twisted, much more corrupt than Tytan's. As Mephisto prepped, he had led his kin into a single clearing, enduring their taunts long enough for his plan to work to it's full potential. As soon as it was ready, he struck. He trapped every Apocalyptic in binds made out of dynatium, preventing their full escape. Proud of himself, he soon began the second phase; draining the power from his kin. This, is where it went wrong. As he absorbed more power, dark thoughts began to fill his head, and pain started to replace glee, and he soon found himself becoming more and more engulfed by the feeling. Of course, one of the Calamities, Thundara to be specific, had become curious as to what had been going on. After witnessing it, she had interrupted the ceremony, causing it to go awry. The Dynatium, after having absorbed too much to remain stable, exploded; burrowing the fragments into the eight Apocalyptics, most of said fragments entering Mephisto. A flash of light soon filled the form and thundara found herself surrounded by eight, darkened auras. This of course, frightened her and she fled, followed by her corrupted Apocalyptic counterpart. The six soon left as well, filled with negative emotions towards their Calamity counterparts, determined to destroy them. Meanwhile, Mephisto stayed behind, in conflict with the new feelings running rampant in his mind; all while the pain running through his body never ceasing. Of course, he too eventually fell to the influence, and went off in search of the one he had gained the power to surpass.

Items

Dynatium: The strand coming from Khronos to be specific. Since that day this has been embedded into his body, unable to be removed. He curses this material with all his heart.

Relationships

Nocturneos: His 'brother'. Both had originally been close. However, Mephisto's jealousy of Nocturneos and his escapade drove the two apart, leaving Nocturneos to banish Mephisto and go into self-exile as a result.

Quotes

"Why did I do what I did? Because I was jealous. It took me centuries to find out why, but I finally did. I was jealous of Nocturneos. He had far more than I did. A good family, the honor of being the leader of the Calamities, and safety from the feeling of emptiness Dark leaves in you. He had all that, and what did he- what does he do? He squanders it, sitting in that dark lonely cave; ignoring every single member of his kind, leaving them to wander the world without a leader. While I had to suffer ridicule at the hands of practically all of my family, had to feel empty, lacking the feeling of power, suffering as my own sanity was nearly stripped away. So tell me. How was I wrong. When all I did was bridge the gap between Nocturneos and myself? When all I DID WAS EARN POWER TO FINALLY EARN SOME SORT OF F**CKING RESPECT?!" - A breakdown.

Trivia

Mephisto is currently my only character with the longest history I've ever written that still remains to this day. Concept and everything.
