The Demon Scientist, otherwise known as Escour, is a expert geneticist, and the creator of ASD, and owned by Hero of Team Dragoon.
History[]
Escour is a young demon, though older by a couple years than Fital. Early in his life, he took an interest in genetics and the science behind souls, dreaming of making a person using science alone. He spent many years pursuing this dream, and ultimately believed he succeeded in part with ASD. With his creation complete, he started training it in combat, intending to have it destroy Team Dragoon's dimension as a display of its superiority. Unfortunately for him, ASD failed to defeat Team Dragoon due to them using their superior numbers against it. Frustrated but not deterred, Escour trained ASD in Super Form combat, and sent it with stolen Chaos Emeralds to destroy Team Dragoon, but once again, it failed. Frustrated that what he thought was his magnum opus was failing, he started to take it out on ASD, before attempting to have it killed by some of his Glitchians, causing the being to flee, hiding deep in the forests of Team Dragoon’s dimension. This soured Escour's opinion on Glitchians, and he stopped making them, before eventually killing the others he had made. He would go into hiding after this, intending to develop a unstoppable army. He would do so in a secret lab within the Dimensional Hub, and would quickly fade out of the memory of his fellow demons. Eventually, the Dimensional Merge happened, and Escour learned of the Dimensional Council. Deeply jealous of the fame they were getting in the multidimensional community, Escour dedicated himself to his work, hoping to finish something that would get him accepted among them, as well as hoping to replace Eror among their members. Unfortunately for him, the Dimensional Council didn't last more than a year. Left with that disappointment, Escour worked on his new magnum opus, Project Evolution, as well as some other projects, forgetting his name in the midst of all of it.
On the day he had finally finished Project Evolution though, he was visited by Dr Bagon, and while angry someone had intruded, he was then greeted with the announcement of his membership in the Neo Dimensional Council.
Projects[]
Project Trinity(ASD)[]
Project Trinity was the original name of ASD, coming from the Trinity Ring that makes its existence possible. It was an attempt to make a living being using science alone, and aside from the souls taken to give it one, it was a complete success. Unfortunately, it proved ineffective at it’s designed role, acting as Escour’s assassin, due to a simple lack of power and it’s personality.
Project Chosen Ones[]
Project Chosen Ones was a project to make a clone army of Sonic, Shadow and Silver. When it was conceptualized, ASD would have commanded it, but ASD fled shortly after, and Escour went on with the project anyways. It took years to complete, but the project proved a success, giving Escour a elite force to command.
Project Spawner[]
Project Spawner was a project to create spawner devices for creation of an army of soulless beasts. Mainly, it was to enforce the Chosen Ones project, but Escour also created it to act as a substitute to his clone army, if they started acting like the heroes they were made from. Ultimately, Project Spawner succeeded, and four spawning devices were made, but Escour couldn’t find the right creatures to use as his army, the majority being too weak, and his attempts to create such a creature failed, and so the spawning devices were stored and Escour moved on.
Project Evolution[]
Long ago, Escour realized that there was always going to be someone stronger than him in the Dimensional Council, and so he developed EX Stones to improve upon his own power, and even for use by the stronger fighters.
Project Triad[]
During Requiem, Escour got back the Trinity Ring when the souls bound to it were used in Unity ASD, and as such, he decided to bond Veroxx and the undead copies of the original members of the Dimensional Council to it, so that he wouldn't have to see Eror and their capabilities could be combined. This didn't work out as well as he'd hoped though, as Eror had been watching as a spirit, and bound himself to it so that Veroxx could escape with him.
Project Eclipse[]
Early on in Requiem, Escour kidnapped Team Sundown after a fight with Sonic's group, and altered them into his own personal team, devoid of the willfulness and morality that had caused ASD to break away. Each of them, Hammer, Thistle, Gust and Katona was amplified based specifically on their greatest desires, Hammer was infused with the abilities of some of the greatest sword masters Escour had souls from, as well as some greater electrical control, Thistle was given fire powers by combining powers from several notable fire users, Gust was given command over anything to do with the weather, and Katona was given the greatest pure strength Escour could manage.
Power Gems[]
After making ASD, Escour looked into improving upon Power Energy. It took some doing, but he eventually managed to crystallize some Power Energy. These Power Gems, as he dubbed them, could give superpowers to anyone they were inserted into, eliminating the need for the complex pseudo circulatory system that fueled ASD's powers. ASD had escaped by then though, so he was left without a use for them, and on a slow day, he accidentally created a Super Power Gem by flowing his energy into a Power Gem. (It was later that he discovered Eggman's variety of Power Gem.)
Infinity Bomb[]
Some time after Requiem, Escour figured out that the Mare Energy he still had access to could be created by compressing infinite Dark Gaia Energy, and how to do that process in reverse. This all led to the development of the Infinity Bomb, which could destroy universes and leave only Dark Acid in the wake of it all. Escour subsequently wrote this discovery down for everyone to see, which both led to what he hoped would happen and a unwanted side effect of showing everyone, which was the Dimensional Defenders somehow using a altered one for good.
