❖Personal:
Personality: Vastus' personality can be summed up in three words. Cold. Calculating. Efficient. He has one goal in mind, and that is to keep all of existence from coming to an end. To achieve this goal, no cost is too high, no sacrifice is too great, and everyone is expendable. If you go against what he says, don't expect a happy ending.
People Skills: Nonexistent. He's never dealt with other living things at all, and he hadn't planned on improving his social standing. If you're not with him, you're in his way. And that can't be allowed.
Goals: Restore the balance before all of existence crashes into the Void.
Fears: The destruction of everything in existence and the Void.
Favorites: How can one favor anything over the sweet embrace of emptiness?.
Role Model: In the Void, there is nothing to model yourself after.
Catch Phrase/Motto: (Complete silence)
❧Skills,Abilities, and Powers
Skills:
No real relevant skills...
Abilities:
An innate ability to warp in-space, the Void itself. This allows for instantaneous travel between the Void and conventional existence. While in the Void, he can still see into existence... This can allow for an effect almost akin to teleportation, although it isn't always instantaneous. While in the Void, he is replenished and healed.
Powers:
Voidal Manipulation- Vastus can reach into the Void and bring forth the latent energies within- the most primal forms of darkness and dark magic- to create constructs on a whim, form lethal shadow attacks or bolts and flames of pure darkness, and disintegrate inorganic matter.
Shapeshifting- Vastus' form is hardly sealed to one shape. Being one with the Void itself, he can take on whatever shape he wishes.
Intangibility- he can become intangible, for a short time. While intangible, he is physically incapable of interacting with the world.
Telepathic Block- anyone so unfortunate as to attempt to read Vastus' mind will be driven to madness, or even a coma; this is the price for daring to look into the Void.
Immortality- as he is not truly alive, he cannot be killed through conventional means, nor will he age physically. Destroying his physical body would banish him to the Void, but it is unknown whether or not this would be a permanent solution; the spatial instability caused by the upcoming war- and a few particular temporal rifts- has sufficiently weakened the dimensional walls to allow easy-access between this realm and the Void, as soon as he returns to full strength.
Weaknesses:
Energy-based attacks. Magical energy is the exception, as it is related to the Void; light is one of the purest forms of energy, and thus light-based attacks will harm him. Thermal and electrical energy can harm him as well, but light is the most effective. This isn't to say magical energy will not harm him; their effectiveness is simply dampened somewhat. While he is immune to darkness and dark-related magical attacks, other attacks will cause sufficient damage, and light-based magical attacks will be almost as detrimental to him as natural light-based attacks.
Magical artifacts of sufficient power can also prove damaging to his physical form.
While outside of the Void, Vastus declines in power and health; he must return to the Void every so often in order to replenish his strength.
Technology/Weapons/Pharpenilia:
An ornate black staff, made of an unknown material; perhaps, like Vastus, of the Void itself.
History
To understand Vastus fully, you must have a basic grasp on the concept of the Void. All the realms that exist in an infinite space, some as self-contained bubbles and some as infinitely expanding planes, some overlapping in space and time- the Void is the space between these dimensions, the 'cushion' space where nothing exists. It permeates all existence in the form of the in-space; the space between the components of atoms. Ergo, the Void isn't just the space between universes; it is the space of nothingness within universes, as well. It is the absence of everything. The Void is not, however, just an area or space. The Void is a sentient force, the structure of existence itself; it is fully aware of the finer details and interactions of forces between universes, and as such constantly works to maintain and uphold the fragile balance of the universe. As of yet, nothing has sufficiently threatened to cause the entirety of existence to collapse in on the Void... But with the war closing in, that has changed.
Vastus is, for all intents and purposes, a physical incarnation of the Void itself. Ergo, he's been around as long as the Void has, which is pretty much since the beginning of everything. However, since the Void is basically the absence of everything, he has never had a need to truly exist in a physical form. Now, however, with the upcoming war threatening to rend asunder the very fabric of existence and end everything- even the Void- Vastus has become real, and has been sent to avoid the imminent destruction of existence as we know it. And he will stop this by any means necessary. While even he doesn't truly know the exact actions that will cause the destruction of everything, he knows that it will happen at the climax of this war, should it be allowed to continue on the path it's headed; thus, Vastus has decided to become directly involved in the war in a desperate effort to avoid the eradication of everything.
