Multi-Dimension Being Profile: Phantom
By: Zorbak the Ebil Moglin Date: April 29, 2020, 5:28 am
---------------------------------------------------------
"Tell me... What is it you desire more than anything? And what
would you do to get it?"
"Everyone's got a desire they're not proud of... Or maybe you
embrace it, I don't know... But everyone has a desire for
something. I can help you... draw out those desires."
"Letting Death send your soul to the afterlife is not a
punishment among my kind... It's a true release from the
suffering our kind would inflict on you. It's the only
compassion I show for you mortals." - Phantom to someone he
killed so they wouldn't be sent to the Hell of Souls.
"This body? It's more... a manifested physical body. I show up
in my real form and you mortals freak out, gauge your eyes out,
all that fun stuff... And that would be a bit embarrassing for
everyone, wouldn't it?"
"Humans... Such an easy species to manipulate. They'll do
anything for power, money, influence... They are such simple,
yet beautiful creatures. Because that beauty is so...
temporary."
"I give you dark arts... I can take them away. He points to
Zenrael and pokes his chest, while smiling cheerfully as his
voice gets more serious. Keep that in mind before you try and
challenge me again... Your ability to draw out the desires of
others is NOTHING compared to mine." - Phantom to Zenrael when
Zenrael challenged his authority
"A deal's a deal... When uphold my end, I expect you to uphold
your end. Everyone knows to read the details of a deal before
you make it. It's your own fault you didn't." - Phantom when he
went to collect on a deal and the person thought he was being
treated unfairly
"My deals are a guarantee. I will give you what I promise. I
only ask you make sure that you know the terms of the deal
beforehand... He smiles. Or don't... Suckers who just accept any
deals they want are fine by me too. It does make my job easier."
During a deal with a performer.
Man: So... If I sign this, I can put on the perfect show?
Phantom: Smiles. Kid... Sign this and you'll give them a show
they'll never forget.
During a conversation with the first generation Death.
Death: You took something that belonged to me. He says to
Phantom.
Phantom just smiles. Phantom: What if I did? What can you do
about it? The soul made a deal and I fulfilled it. You know the
rules. I can have any soul that is willing to sell to me. He
pulls out a contract. And, as usual, here's the proof that he
made the deal.
Death sighs, knowing that he couldn't do anything if the soul
made a deal. Death: I much prefer the crossroads demons to
dealing with you.
Phantom chuckles softly. Phantom: You mean like that Crowley
fellow? They're just pale imitations of me. Demons see me and
think they can do the job I do with ease, but then realize that
they're nothing compared to what I do.
After Phantom opened a branch club in London as an extension of
his New Orleans nightclub, Shadows of Sin.
Zenrael: It's nice. I like it. He says as he finds a spot to sit
down.
Phantom sits down and looks to Zenrael with a smile. Phantom: I
hope so... You're going to be running this place. I expect you
to get me some souls. You're the one Lord Xeles chose to run
this place while I'm running the New Orleans branch.
Zenrael: I'd be happy to. I just hope I live up to your
expectations. He says with a smile.
Phantom: Oh I'm sure you will... I'm sure you don't want to
suffer my... disappointment. Not after the last time, anyway. He
says the last part with a cheerful smile, which causes Zenrael's
face to go pale at the memory of the last time he got on
Phantom's bad side.
During an encounter with a customer.
Phantom: So... Another greedy, lustful human... You humans are
so easy to manipulate.
Customer: I... don't understand... I shouldn't be affected by
your power! I mastered my desires!
Phantom: How naive. You can't just supress them and think that's
gonna work. You're desires call out to the very shadows around
me wanting to be let out. Supressing them only makes that desire
to be let out stronger... He says with a smile.
Customer: Damn it! The customer gets up and tries to leave,
realizing they couldn't beat Phantom.
Phantom: Try again next time. It takes a truly pure heart to
resist me. I've met very few that don't succumb eventually to
their temptations. It's only a matter of finding the right
outlet for your sinful desires. He says as the person leaves.
During a telepathic meeting between Aeron Kazara and Phantom in
the London universe.
Phantom: How is the attack going?
Aeron: The death wraiths are convinced the dark spirits are
growing stronger. The mortal realm is becoming more easily
accessable by dark spirits when we're fighting the storms.
Phantom: I hope so. Because we're losing dark spirits every time
we make one of those storms. Losing more than we're gaining. So
you better make this endeavor worth it.
Aeron: I promise... The plan is working perfectly. The
protection of the death wraiths will be overcome eventually.
Phantom: I'm taking a risk with this... You're the closest
version of you that has come close to winning, so you better not
mess this up. I'm tired of all of you in every universe failing
right at the end.
"He's the first servant of Xeles and one of the of the original
denizens of the Shadow Realm. He's as old as Toranoraos or
myself, and much more dangerous. Not just because of power, but
he has a way of 'appealing' to your species' inner desires in a
way that rivals, and sometimes beats even Lucifer or Zenrael. He
was the inspiration behind the Crossroads demons in a lot of
dimensions. He's the best at what he does. And neither I, nor
your gods can interfere with his business as long as he adheres
to the deal we all made almost an eternity ago. I can't kill
him... But you mortals can try. Even if it's as futile as trying
to kill me. You mortals do actually manage the impossible from
time to time..." - First Generation Death about Phantom
Current Name: Phantom
Real Name: Unpronouncable in human language
Closest Intepretation of his name: שד
הצללים (Demon of shadows)
Age: Older than time
Species: First Generation Dark Lord (First generation denizen of
the Deep Shadow Realm)
Gender: Male
Hunter Group/Team: Lord of the dark spirits (Sometimes supports
others if they make a deal with him)
Current Servants:
- Aeron Kazara (London Universe) (Unknown to anyone)
- Zenrael (London Universe) (Also normally unknown, but has
quickly become known as a servant of Phantom and Xeles)
- Evan Quindell/Ebon the Snake (Olympus Universe) (Unknown to
most)
- Lord of Thriller Bark (True Indentity Unknown Currently)
(Olympus Universe) (Fairly known to those that have live there
and those that survive ending up there)
Weapons:
- Shadow Realm Cane: This cane is Phantom's way of transporting
souls to the Hell of Souls. When a person makes a deal with him
or a dark spirit that he collects on, Phantom will take the soul
using his staff, with his staff being connected to his dark
arts. Usually, when using the Book of Phantom that Phantom will
give people if they want to learn dark arts, certain spells will
execute into the staff, such as a teleportation spell might
transport a soul into his staff. When taking a soul, the soul
always appears in the clear gem in the handle, and then is
consumed by shadows when the soul is transported to the Hell of
Souls. This cane not only is able to take souls that are
connected to Phantom's contracts, but the cane also has access
to the power of dark arts, being able to use the dark arts
including summoning darkness from the Deep Shadow Realm. This
cane seems harmless to people at first glance, but one will
quickly that this staff is a very dangerous weapon. By using
dark arts, the staff can channel many different forms of
attacks. This cane is also able to kill any being that the cane
strikes the heart or brain of by using it's shadows of death
that it gained from Xeles's presence, as this weapon was forged
using Xeles's presence. Due to that, this cane has both Xeles's
whispering darkness and his death-based darkness manipulation.
While this cane is hard to destroy, it's dark arts are still
counterable with strong enough holy energy, or by using
purifying darkness that is used to fight dark spirits.
- Book of Phantom: This book is a book of dark arts, one that
Phantom often gives to people temporarily to teach them dark
arts. Usually, he leaves it for people to find and take on
purpose, as it gives them a taste of the dark arts, and has the
right spells to get people addicted to using dark arts because
of the book's dark arts appeal to the soul and brain's desires,
feeding on them as the person starts learning dark arts. This
doesn't hurt the user, as the book just absorbs emotional energy
given off when the body uses the books dark arts. This book is a
very useful starting point for dark arts, and Phantom is great
at appealing to people's curiosity using this book. This book
has been known to contain special spells that call Phantom, or
some that will even allow others to become temporary dark spirit
lords in addition to powerful dark arts, more so than typical
dark arts users would be able to use. Because of the power it
grants and the book's power to temporarily satisfy one's inner
desires temporarily, the power the book contains becomes an
addiction upon repeated use. This book is designed to appeal to
the darker desires in one's heart, and those with strong sinful
desires will find this book far more addictive than simpler
people with no sinful desires. Usually, this book leads to
Phantom making a deal, as eventually people cannot get the
spells they need from the book as they start to crave more
power, and that's when Phantom usually is summoned to grant them
stronger dark arts, usually at the cost of the person's soul.
This book is very dangerous, and cannot be destroyed by normal
means, but unless one uses it, they usually won't be affected by
it.
First Generation Dark Lord Abilities:
- First Generation Denizen of the Shadow Realm: Like the first
generation Death, Phantom is one of the original creatures of
the Shadow Realm, and one of the other "deities" of the realm.
However, unlike Toranoraos and Xeles, Phantom is the creation of
Xeles, who created Phantom as his very first servant and one of
the only multi-dimensional dark spirits. Just like Xeles,
Phantom is a major source of darkness, but ultimately most of
his power comes from Xeles, including Xeles's whispering
darkness and his death-based darkness abilities. As a primordial
darkness entity like Death, Phantom is one of the more powerful
beings in the multi-verse, though he's usually not one to fight
since he's more about bringing out people's desires rather than
fighting them. Just as Death embodies the persona of death
itself, Phantom is the embodiment of sinful desires seeks to
corrupt living beings into doing whatever he wants. Phantom
isn't as powerful as Xeles is, but he is as powerful as the
first generation Death, and usually competes with him. However,
Phantom isn't usually one to fight, as he and Death don't fight
in the physical sense. Instead, they compete for souls, and they
try to get as many souls as they can get. Phantom is perhaps the
most powerful dark spirit to ever exist, and is the only one
that Xeles designed to be a multi-dimensional being in order to
spread his work throughout the living worlds. Unlike Xeles,
Phantom is able to stay in the living world easily, and as long
as he adheres to his agreements with Death, he is free to do
what he wants. Phantom is a dark spirit, and really the biggest
thing one has to worry about with him is is desire manipulation,
which he often frequents. If one avoids that, they can usually
avoid his more dangerous aspects, as he usually specializes in
corrupting people.
- Shadows of Desire Presence: Unlike Xeles who's presence
appeals to the chaos in the minds of others, Phantom's presence
is one that appeals to the desires of others. While born of the
same power that Xeles uses, Phantom's presence is more calm, and
normally wouldn't be noticable as a bad presence due to his
presence being such a calming presence. The thing to note about
Phantom's presence though is his ability to bring out desires,
which he brings out as "shadows of the heart" as he sees it. His
presence is able to pull sinful desires to the surface, and
those that are in his presence are usually affected. Unlike with
Xeles though, people don't go crazy around Phantom, as Phantom's
presence isn't strong enough to drive someone insane. Instead,
people around Phantom seem to have their innermost desires come
to the surface, and any sinful desires are amplified by his
presence. His presence is still a presence of darkness, and can
bypass emotional immunities normally due to him being a a deity
level being even though most don't think he's at the power of a
deity. However, strong willed people can resist Phantom's
presence, as his presence isn't designed to be something that
affects people, but rather the presence is just an effect of his
power. It is worth noting that simply suppressing one's desires
is not enough to counter this, as even suppressing them means
that Phantom can bring them out. The only way to truly avoid
Phantom's effect is to truly overcome one's desires, and unless
they face their desires and acknowledge them, the desires will
only get stronger in Phantom's presence. It is also possible to
have the effects of his presence go away if the person simply
puts enough distance between them and Phantom, as this only
works in his presence.
- Multi-Dimensional First Generation Shadow Denizen: Just like
Death, Phantom is a being that can exist in multiple dimensions
of space and time at once. He is a multi-dimensional being that
can access almost every universe and timeline, thanks to him
being designed by Xeles as a multi-dimensional being. Phantom is
able to have a presence in every universe and timeline, just
like Death, and often is anywhere Death can be found. While
incarnations of himself can be killed, he can easily respawn his
incarnations if needed as long as he is not completely killed.
All of his incarnations are connected to the Deep Shadow Realm
and to Xeles, no matter which universe or timeline he is in.
This makes eliminating him completely impossible unless one is
somehow able to kill him in the Deep Shadow Realm (which is
nearly impossible for anyone other than Toranoraos). This
ability may sound impressive, but it is important to note that
Phantom cannot put his entire presence into the living world,
and can only manifest his presences into weaker human-like forms
that hold back most of his power. Typically, he is usually at a
point where he is able to be destroyed by stronger deity level
opponents since he doesn't manifest with his full abilities and
powers, and this doesn't change no matter what universe he's in.
He also only typically has one existence per universe and one
per timeline. Every existence he has is connected to him, and
that presence is a part of him. When his presence is killed in a
universe, he does feel it and know it happens, which does put
some metal strain on him, though most of the time one
incarnation dying isn't a big deal to him.
- Shadows of Desire Supernatural Charm/Charisma: Another affect
of his presence, and partly through his personality, Phantom is
able to charm and sweet-talk just about anyone he comes across.
As part of his presence, the sinful desires can make him more
appealing, and his words are often aimed at drawing out people's
desires, which doesn't always mean immediate deals. Even those
warned about Phantom have fallen prey to his charm, and those
that aren't careful could easily fall prey to Phantom. Phantom
isn't one that starts with deals and having dark spirits corrupt
people, but rather he's more about having fun and indulging in
the side one keeps hidden. Because of this, many have let loose
their inner most desires when in his presence, as most aren't
ready for his charismatic words and his presence that draws out
one's desires. For the most part, Phantom is easily able to
charm people, and often does longer plays. Overall, he's far
better at charming people and eventually getting them into deals
than the Crossroads demons, which many universes Crossroads
demons based on Phantom's own business of getting people to deal
with him. Most are never ready for his fun personality and his
desire to just enjoy life, which throws a lot of people off who
don't know him. As such, it often makes him easy to deal with,
and many have eventually started dealing with dark spirits
because of his sweet words and the effects of his presence.
Usually, weaker willed people succumb fear more easily than
stronger willed people, as strong willed people are able to
resist this charm and charisma. It is worth noting though, since
part of this happens because of his presence, this does even
affect those with emotional control or mind manipulation, as
this often overpowers mental immunities and resistances. This
means that simply supressing one's desires is not enough to
overcome the temptations of Phantom's lifestyle, and require
actually overcoming one's sinful desires instead of just
suppressing them.
- First Generation Shadow Denizen Immortal Darkness: Phantom,
much like Death, is almost impossible to permanently kill. Many
have tried to kill Phantom on a permanent basis, but almost no
one has the means to do so. Typically, the only person who might
have that power is Toranoraos, as even the first generation
Death lacks the power to kill Phantom permanently. This means
that even the death scythes, soul swords and zanpakutos of
creatures of death are unable to kill Phantom, though they do in
fact hurt him more than other weapons. Anytime he is "killed,"
Phantom simply reforms from the darkness of the Deep Shadow
Realm, and eventually is able to go back to what he was doing
before he "died." While his mortal forms can be killed, his
being cannot be permanently destroyed by any known means, though
that doesn't mean that there are no ways to kill him. In order
to even have a chance of permanently killing him, one would have
to kill his true self in the Deep Shadow Realm, which would
require someone who wouldn't be driven mad by Xeles's chaotic
presence since it would require going into the Hell of Souls.
However, if one were to kill Phantom, then the oldest dark
spirit would become the new incarnation of Phantom, effectively
taking his place. Because the Shadow Realm always needs balance
as much as any other part of the multiverse, Phantom and Death
have become two sides of a coin like Xeles and Toranoraos are.
Similar to how there must always be an incarnation of Death and
Toranoraos, Phantom is similarly required to balance the
negative and positive sides of the Shadow Realm, and if he is
killed, then the oldest dark spirit would essentially become the
new Phantom in the Deep Shadow Realm, for better or worse.
- Multi-Dimensional Time/Space Disconnection: Phantom is not
affected by time or space manipulation abilities, specifically
time stops or time travel powers in any way. Being disconnected
from time and space, Phantom is not affected by changes in time,
or changes in space. This means that things like time stops,
time reversals, or even time acceleration powers have no real
effect on Phantom, and things like spacial distortion, spacial
movement, or spacial separation have no effect on him due to him
being disconnected from space and time. This is fairly standard
for multi-dimensional beings, especially primordial beings who
existed before space and time were material things, and they
usually do are not bound by these forces. If a timeline shift
does happen, the information of the time shift and what is
different is immediately known to Phantom, specifically in the
form of who or what is changing time and it's effects on him
specifically. If someone changes time, he will exist in both
timelines (the old timeline and new one created from the time
travel). When it comes to spacial movement or distortion,
Phantom is able to adjust to any distortion, movement or
separation spacial energies can affect him with. This
combination also makes Phantom immune to almost any form of
space-time distortion powers, in which he cannot be hurt or
affected by things like dimension cutter attacks. For the most
part, Phantom is not able to be hurt by time or space, though
that doesn't mean that he's completely invulnerable, since he
can still be damaged like a normal being since his normal form
is a mortal-like form.
- Master User of Whispering Darkness: The dark spirits with the
most dangerous darkness is easily the whispering darkness some
more advanced dark spirits use. One example is Kuroshi Kagema in
the London Universe, who is able to tap this darkness. Most
people do not know that Xeles is the very source of this
darkness, and those that draw on it are literally drawing on his
power to use it. This is a very powerful darkness that has a
strong voice and always eventually sways someone to evil. Most
users that use this effectively are dark spirits, born of
Xeles's presence. Almost no one, including death wraiths, have
tapped into this darkness without going insane. The major aspect
of this darkness, beyond it being more powerful than even the
strongest forms of darkness (for the most part), is the fact
that anyone, even darkness users that try to absorb it, will go
insane from the pure evil that inhabits this dark power. Xeles
is a being of pure chaos, and the very source of this darkness.
Typically only those that he allows to can draw upon this
darkness, and typically very few can actually handle the evil of
this darkness. Typically, this darkness, when used in battle,
can be be still blocked with other forms of powerful enough
darkness, though typically this darkness overpowers most other
forms of darkness. If one wants to avoid the evil effects, they
must take care never to absorb this darkness, as absorbing it
can cause temporary or permanent insanity depending on the
person. Other than the evil energy and the whispers that come
from Xeles's being, this is more just a much stronger form of
evil darkness that uses the negative side of darkness as a
whole. Phantom also uses this darkness, and is one of the first
and most mastered users of it.
- Shadows of Desire: This is a unique darkness that Phantom
uses, in which he can channel powerful darkness. This darkness
can be used like normal darkness except that it has a unique
effect on people. While it does damage people, it draws out
one's innermost desires, and being damaged by this darkness
allows Phantom to more easily tempt others to sinful desires.
This power does more damage to others based on the sinful
desires that they have, usually making the shadows stronger as
they absorb the sin of someone else, in which the shadows are
stronger if the person has more desires. This darkness is
Phantom's own darkness that he uses, that is generated by his
power as a multi-dimensional dark spirit. This not only is a
power that Phantom can use to hurt enemies, but a power he can
use on people to draw out their desires, as well as something he
can use to tempt people if he uses it on shadows around others,
as this type of shadows cast from most of the shadows around
Phantom wherever he goes. This also powers his dark arts, in
which he has similar godly power to Xeles except that Phantom's
abilities are more about desire than driving someone insane. The
only downside is that this has little effect on those pure of
heart that have little to no sinful desires. It is also possible
to not be affected if one confronts their sinful desires rather
than try to suppress them, as supressing sinful desires isn't
something that one can usually do in Phantom's presence. This
also means that if one isn't in Phantom's presence, then they
can remove the effects of these shadows. Only strong-willed
people are usually able to resist Phantom's influence.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Frightful Darkness: This
darkness is unique to Phantom, which is a variation of Xeles's
own darkness. This darkness is Phantom's own recipe of
death-infused darkness. This was originally his own take on
Death's own dark power, and focuses on human's fear of death.
This power draws out one's fear of death, usually paralyzing
people with a fear of death, allowing Phantom to use this
darkness to attack opponents or power his dark arts. Unlike
normal deathly darkness, this utilizes his darkness of death in
a unique way that is focused on Phantom's ability to draw out
desires. This draws out the desire to not die, and does more
damage to people afraid of death as it feeds on their fear.
Phantom is a very dangerous dark spirit, as his ability to use
this lets him know who fears death and who doesn't, as it helps
him find people more willing to make deals. However, this is
still a power he can use in battle, and is very dangerous to
those that do fear death, since this can amplify one's fear to
the point of completely paralyzing them. This draws out their
fear on death to the fullest, and can be used pretty easily to
convince people to make deals with Phantom if they fear death.
Of course, those that don't fear death or don't care about their
lives are usually not as affected by this. Phantom can still
draw out fear of death in others, but on those that don't fear
death, usually this tells Phantom about their character and
helps him determine what kinds of deals someone would make.
While useful for powering his dark arts and paralyzing people
afraid of death, this is mostly used on people when he's trying
to find out what kind of people they are, so that Phantom can
figure out what motivates them, or what they might want.
Usually, those afraid of death want to live, but those that
don't fear death may want something else instead.
- Supernatural/Primordial Deal Maker/Contract Holder: Similar to
the crossroads demons who came after him, Phantom opted to set
up his business on deals with mortals, and opted to make deals
to give mortals things they desire in exchange for their service
or souls. While some souls would go to the Hell of Souls, some
would become servants, and some would be used as hosts for dark
spirits that require hosts depending on what Phantom needs. With
his power, Phantom has a lot of ways to give people what they
desire, such as giving someone dark arts abilities if he wants
to give them power, or using his shadows of desire to boost
someone's charisma, or even just flat-out killing enemies of
someone who comes to him. Overall, Phantom is able to make deals
as long as he can grant the desires of the user, and has many
ways of doing so, usually through dark arts and his deity level
abilities. While he can't manipulate reality, Phantom usually
doesn't need to. Typically, people who come to him will have
their wishes granted in some fashion, as Phantom will always
deliver on what he promises. He has made a lot of deals over the
years, and holds the deals of a lot of people in the multiverse
who have dealt with him. While he doesn't always collect on
every debt, he saves some for later in case he needs them for
something else. Many see Phantom as a god-level dark spirit
version of people like Lucifer, the Crossroads King Crowley, or
other deal-making beings that specialize in deals with mortal
beings. However, Phantom is someone who prides himself on
keeping his deals and never goes against deals he has made, even
going so far as to nullify deals if he makes a rare mistake in
his deal (which has only happend a few times in all of
creation). Since Phantom cannot go around stealing souls as he
desires, he does what he can tempting souls into deals with him
through any desire he can draw out of them.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Corrupted Deathly Light
Manipulation: Being a multi-dimensional dark spirit, Phantom has
abilities that allow him to manipulate light, with his major one
being his darkness being able to create corrupted light that he
can manipulate using his darkness. However, his corrupted light
is not just normal corrupted light, but is corrupted by his mere
presence, similar to Xeles. Overall, using light is pretty much
useless on Phantom, as he has developed his presence to be able
to corrupt almost any kind of supernatural light using his dark
presence. This presence uses Phantom's shadows of desire and his
frightful death darkness to corrupt light, and then the light
acts like part of Phantom's presence as long as it's under his
control. For the most part, Phantom's corrupted light is
manipulated just like any other light, except that he cannot do
things like create light-based illusions, and he cannot use the
reflective properties of light due to the darkness removing most
of the reflective ability of the light. Typically, while this is
more powerful than most other corrupted lights and is a natural
power for Phantom, it is still dodgable like any corrupted
light, and if one doesn't use light against him, then Phantom
won't be able to corrupt their light abilities. While Phantom
can create corrupted light around him, it still works just like
any other corrupted light, just more powerful than normal.
- Dark Spirit Shapeshift: Just like many dark spirits, Phantom
can take other forms. He is able to take almost any form that he
chooses, with his most preferred form being a human form he
takes when on earth. He is able to take any form though, from
animals to even taking the form of other races. He is able to
take the form just about any living race, which is usually used
for interacting with any race that he is trying to interact
with. For example, he usually takes a human form when
interacting with humans, but can take the form of animals as
well if he chooses while on earth. If he were to appear on a
planet with a different race, he'd be able to appear to them as
their own race. This even hides most of his presence, making it
so he doesn't hurt others with his shadow presence, and makes
him feel like whatever he has changed into. Unlike Xeles,
Phantom's abilities don't change based on his form, unless he is
using a type of creature with claws or some sort of physical
attribute that would be useful. However, it is worth noting that
while in these forms, he is usually in the mortal realm, and he
doesn't have the same power in the mortal realm that he has in
the Deep Shadow Realm, much like Xeles. His power is usually
limited by whatever race he becomes, such as having the limits
of a human body to appear as a human, and his anatomy changes to
fit any creature he becomes, giving him the same weaknesses as
certain mortals. He also has to use supernatural power to change
his form, so he cannot keep changing his form endless, since his
power is highly restricted in the living world. When in the
living world, he can use this in battle to change into dangerous
monsters, but Phantom usually doesn't take advantage of this,
since he prefers his human form over everything else.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Shadow Blood: Phantom's
physiology is somewhat unique, in that no form he takes has
mortal blood in it. In his presence, and in his body, his power
takes the physical form of a black liquid that acts like his
blood. Most who see this can equate it to something akin to the
black blood skill, where shadows are fused into the blood to
create a more powerful blood and shadow mixed power. However,
unlike black blood, Phantom's shadow blood actually IS darkness
running through his body, as his presence is pure shadows that
are typically in a more liquid form. His darkness works just
like blood, keeping him alive and moving nutrients throughout
his mortal body, but his blood is connected to his presence in a
way most beings cannot usually easily comprehend. Because of
this, his body's "blood" is very unique, and can even be
generated from any shadow he controls. He is able to use this in
the same ways as a being would use blood manipulation, giving
him access to all the same blood skills as any dark arts user
he's empowered would have (like the blood manipulation arts Vobu
uses, or the blood skills the Hazeldines use). This power is a
basic liquid manipulation, but has many forms it can take.
Because of Phantom's connection to the dark arts, similar to
Xeles, Phantom has the unique ability to convert any blood arts
ability he learns into an art he can use with his shadow blood.
This blood usually has to be countered like water manipulation,
but one typically also has to use holy power, as this shadow
blood can also be a vessel for his corruptive shadow power.
Phantom's shadow blood works like blood except that it cannot be
simply dissolved with normal methods to dissolve or dilute
blood. While solid objects can block the shadow blood, usually
the best method is holy power since Phantom's blood is a type of
unholy deity level corruptive substance, making it able to be
purified. If Phantom is bleed enough, and runs out of presence
he can use in the real world (as he can only use limited amounts
of his presence in the real world), then he can "die" by
"bleeding to death" which is the simplest way to put it for him.
No matter the form, Phantom's blood is always this black
substance, and this is even something that can be used to
regenerate himself using shadows when needed.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Shadow Telekinesis: As a deity
level opponent, Phantom has his own brand of telekinesis. This
telekinesis uses shadows, in which he can use shadows to control
objects or affect people's movement using this power. This power
works like a telekinesis ability, except that the telekinesis
relies on the use of shadows to control an object. As long as
the shadows are in contact with the object, then Phantom can
affect the object. This is useful for picking up or stopping
projectiles, and can be used on almost anything with enough
concentration. This skill can also be used on people to stop,
throw or even try to manipulate their movement, as long as
Phantom has the concentration. This skill can even fire
telekinetic blasts of shadows, in which Phantom learned certain
psychic style abilities by watching how certain races like
celestians use their telekinesis power. When using telekinetic
blasts, Phantom can do things like firing blasts of telekinetic
energy, such as firing simple blasts or creating shockwaves
around him to blast groups of opponents back. While a useful
skill though, this does require concentration, and if used on a
person to stop or control their movement, then they can resist
if they have enough physical force to overpower the telekinesis.
It is also possible to not be grabbed by telekinesis if one can
move fast enough that they cannot be pinned down, as moving
faster than the power can let someone completely avoid this
power. If caught in this power though, the best way to get free
is to attack Phantom, since Phantom does require concentration
to use this power.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Dark Arts Granting/Removal:
Similar to the most advanced dark arts users, Phantom is able to
grant dark arts abilities to almost anyone that can recieve a
dark nature enhancement. This is one of the reasons he's known
as a god of the dark arts similar to his master Xeles, as some
theorize that he has a stronger connection to the dark arts than
almost any other being except for someone like Xeles. Phantom is
able to use this connection to his advantage. Those that want to
use the dark arts, he can empower them with some darkness from
the Shadow Realm to give them the ability to call on the dark
arts. Typically, he will not give the deep shadow realm darkness
to mortals, as most people go crazy from trying to wield it.
However, what darkness he grants can empower those that want to
use the dark arts, and Phantom can use that to his advantage. He
is also able to take away someone's dark arts abilities he has
granted, similar to how some dark arts users are able to.
Usually he will take the dark arts he grants away when the
person dies, or if the person becomes foolish enough to try and
use the dark arts against Phantom or starts using them on
Phantom's allies. This power is able to be used on anyone
willing to accept the enhancement, though the user has to
willingly accept being enhanced before they can take this power
(meaning it can't be forced onto someone). And when removing
this power, typically it doesn't hurt the user, but just removes
any dark arts that Phantom has bestowed. This only works on dark
arts that have been bestowed by Phantom, and typically Phantom's
dark arts bestowal is usuable by just about anyone able to
recieve a dark nature enhancement. The user's of his dark arts
may gain specific dark arts, or unique ones depending on the
user, but overall the dark arts that are granted belong to the
user until called back by Phantom, or Xeles as Xeles can draw on
the dark arts power of Phantom since Phantom is connected to
Xeles. It is also worth noting that Phantom uses this power by
physical touch, whether it's bestowing or removing dark arts
abilities. This is usually done best through Phantom's book, the
Book of Phantom, which he designed to tempt mortals into using
dark arts.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Dark Arts Growth/Empowerment:
Unlike other dark arts users that will reabsorb dark arts they
grant, Phantom doesn't need to do this. Instead, Phantom simply
grows stronger as those he grants dark arts to grow stronger,
due to him being connected to the dark arts he grants those that
serve him. This power not only grants him stronger dark arts as
the user gets stronger with dark arts, but Phantom is able to
gain the dark arts of anyone he has empowered, even unique dark
arts. Unlike other dark arts users, Phantom doesn't need any
contact or any power to absorb the dark arts to gain power, but
simply just needs to exist for this power to allow him to grow
stronger from dark arts users advancing in power and growing
stronger. This is a major reason that Phantom bestows dark arts
on others, and is one of the reasons he often tries to tempt
people with his "Book of Phantom". Phantom knows almost all
there is to know about the dark arts save only the god level
powers Xeles has, as Phantom is partially a spawn of the base
power that spawned most of the dark arts that are used in the
multiverse (as Phantom was the first spawned dark arts user and
considered the son of Xeles). As a result, Phantom is constantly
growing in power without having to do anything, though it's hard
for a multi-dimensional being to "grow in power" in the
traditional sense. This is more about gaining new dark arts than
raw power, as Phantom enjoys seeing how creative mortals can get
with dark arts, mostly so he can gain those arts and bestow them
on his dark spirit allies or his dark arts allies. This power,
however, only applies to those that use dark arts, and doesn't
do any damage to anyone using dark arts. This is more just a
passive power that makes Phantom and Xeles grow in dark arts
power and knowledge simply by having people practicing the dark
arts.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Shadow Removal, Absorption, and
Manipulation: This is a basic art that Phantom can use, in which
he is able to take living people or creature's shadows. To do
this, he simply needs to grab the shadow, peel it from the
surface it is on, and then tear it from it's host. Once he gains
this shadow, he is able to do two major things with the shadows.
The first is that he can absorb it, similar to how some dark
arts users absorb shadows to gain their combat and some of their
supernatural abilities. This method of absorbing shadows has let
him learn a lot of combat styles from people across the
multiverse, and lets him use this power to copy powers to a
small degree. The other use (and the one he typically uses this
for) is that he can give control and manipulate these shadows.
When controlling these shadows, he is able to manipulate them as
he desires, and will manipulate them to do what he wants. This
could be as simple as having them fight his enemies, or he may
choose to take them back to the Shadow Realm and give them a
place if he opts to want to use the shadows for his dark spirits
to grow stronger. Just like other users of this skill, Phantom
doesn't hurt a user per se, but once removed, the shadow no
longer shows up on the host, and users with the ability to
control their own shadow will lose control of their shadows if
Phantom does this. Those that have their shadows removed don't
suffer damage, but once their shadow is taken, they cannot go
out in the day time, as strong light (mainly sunlight) will burn
them until they are completely evaporated. Once in the light,
users must get out of the light before they evaporate, or they
will die. The only ways to get the shadow back is to steal it
back from Phantom, or one can use salt on the person in
posesssion of the shadow. Typically, Phantom will usually barter
to give shadows back if someone offers something he wants.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Animated Shadows/Dark Spirit
creation: This is another power that Phantom has a
multi-dimensional dark spirit. Phantom is able to manipulate
shadows and animate them as he sees fit. He can manipulate
shadows into just about anything he wants, whether it's forming
it like a specific type of creature, or just forming something
that will attack opponents. Phantom's major use for this,
though, is the fact that he is able to animate spirits in order
to create new dark spirits. Typically, he uses his shadows to
create dark spirits from them, such as creating dark spirits
against enemies that will fight for him if he doesn't feel like
fighting, or he needs specific forces for certain situations.
Usually, Phantom's specialty for dark spirits is creating
collectors, which are designed for one thing: Collecting souls
or emotional energies. Phantom's collectors are like a counter
to Death's grim reapers, in which they have some similar
abilities to grim reapers, but are dark spirits, and the dark
spirits even come with a shadow realm designed scythe that is
basically the same nature as a death scythe. Phantom is able to
use this on any shadow in the mortal realm, and can do this very
easily in the Shadow Realm. When Phantom uses this, his shadows
or dark spirits are granted a life of their own, and granted
their own consciousness whether they are permanent creatures or
not. Typically, creating dark spirits is a permanent addition
(as long as the dark spirit isn't destroyed), but creating
animated shadow creatures from shadows is typically temporary if
they aren't made into actual dark spirits. These shadows are
usually manifested using mortal shadows, so they follow the same
limits as normal shadows, such as light being able to be used to
destroy them, despite Phantom himself not taking damage from
light attacks. When dark spirits are created, each dark spirit
typically has it's own counter, such his collectors being weak
to purifying darkness and being weak to life energy due to the
deathly nature of collectors. This power is a basic ability for
Phantom, which is usually used to create servants or other
enemies to take out his opponents when in the mortal realm.
However, when in the shadow realm, he can create normal dark
spirits and shadow creatures, usually stronger, but most of them
cannot enter the real world unless they make through the death
wraith dark spirit hunter forces first, which depends on the
universe and strength of the defense of the Shadow Realm, as
some have an easier time than others (Like London currently
having an easy time getting dark spirits to the living world due
to the storms of dark spirits that keep the death wraiths too
busy to defend the way to the living world.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Shadow Corruption: This is
another ability using Phantom's dark nature. When Phantom uses
his shadows, he is able to release shadows from his body into
someone, and then corrupt them from within. When used, Phantom's
shadows are able to take over someone and turn them into his
servants as long as the shadows are in control. This only
requires that Phantom's shadows are absorbed into the body,
either through wounds or through some opening in the body that
would allow the corruption to travel through the body. Similar
to how Galian and Amara can corrupt people and corrupt them,
Phantom's ability works much the same way, except that he has to
use his body's darkness in order to corrupt them. This has a few
effects, such as heavily amplifying the person with dark power
originating from Phantom, but also grants them powerful dark
arts while under Phantom's control. This corruption is very
strong, and even can overpower certain resistances to mind or
body control due to Phantom's power being much stronger than
most other beings. However, while it can overpower mind and body
control resistances/immunities, it can still be purified before
control is taken from the user, which usually happens within 3
combat rounds. As long as the user purifies it with some sort of
heavy purification power. However, those without purification
powers have two other options for purifying this. The first is
burning holy oil, which purifies the body of this corruption
immediately (similar to how Amara's and Galian's corruptions can
be burned this way), or one can eat a mass of blessed sea salt,
which will also purify them of the corruption. This power can
also be avoided if the user just avoid's Phantom's power form
entering their body, and without entering the body, the person
won't be corrupted.
Combat and Passive Abilities:
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Combat and Supernatural Battle
Knowledge: Over his years granting dark arts and taking shadows
from people, Phantom has become extremely knowledgable in combat
and supernatural battle tactics, in which he is able to mimic
almost every combat style on earth at a near master level.
Phantom has many different combat styles to choose from, so many
that it would be impossible to name them all. This has mostly
made it so that Phantom rarely ever has to train his combat
stats, as he mostly gains what he knows from a combination of
taking shadows, his god level knowledge of the universe, and his
dark arts bestowal that lets him grow as those he empowers do.
This makes Phantom knowledgable of just about every fighting
style or supernatural power in the multiverse, thanks to being
around since before almost almost any other deity. Phantom is
usually not known for being a fighter, but he is able to fight
pretty easily when combining this with his deity level stats.
When in the mortal realm, this helps him fight people when he
has to fight in his human form, and is the main reason he opts
to learn these fighting styles, but also so that he can fight
any opponent whenever he has to. When in the mortal realm,
Phantom is somewhat limited on how much power and how much
supernatural battle ability he can use, since he is usually
limited by the form he's in (Aka he can only use the limits of
human power when in human form, which is usually what he's in).
This sounds far more intimidating than it is, since Phantom
doesn't typically fight unless someone picks a fight with him,
which many know not to do.
- Dark Anti-God: As a multi-dimensional dark spirit, Phantom is
among the "anti-gods" that are essentially the opposing forces
of the gods of creation even if he's not considered a "god" in
the traditional sense. While Phantom does create dark spirits,
Phantom's purpose is to be a god of darkness that focuses on the
negative power of darkness, and Phantom's purpose is driving
people into sin so that they will be easily influenced by dark
spirits. His power as an anti-god makes him able to destroy
deities that are focused on creation, no matter what power they
might have. Typically, gods of destruction or darkness are about
negative power, and are about destroying anything that they can
destroy. Phantom is able to use his power to counter any god of
creation, with him being able to use his power as an anti-god to
fight and destroy most gods. Even the most powerful gods have no
power over him, and the only person who can seem to keep him in
check is Toranoraos and Xeles, since Toranoraos and Xeles are
his superiors in both power and combat. While this isn't an
active power, this is more of a passive effect of his status as
a god of dark spirits. Essentially, he is in the same class of
deity as Death is. While Phantom is not meant to be a god of
death and destruction, his nature tends to lean toward that
aspect due to him trying to drive humanity into destroying
themselves. Of course, this means that gods of creation counter
his power just as easily as he counters theres, and their powers
do more to him. Typically, the only real god that compares to
him in the end though is Toranoraos and Xeles, who are basically
superior to him, or the first generation Death who is Phantom's
opposite or rival in the Shadow Realm. Death is the one that
usually keeps Phantom from breaking the rules, as Death and
Phantom are more about competing for souls rather than fighting
each other.
- Dark Lord True Dark Spirit Dominion/Creation: Besides Xeles,
Phantom is a creator and the first-born creation of Xeles, who
created Phantom as a counter to Toranoraos's Death. While there
are many that claim to be lords of dark spirits, no one is as
much of a lord of dark spirits as Phantom is (aside from Xeles).
Typically, most people who gain lordship over dark spirits
usually do so through Phantom or Xeles, usually as a result of
gaining power through them. Phantom is a true lord of dark
spirits, and almost any who claim to be lord of dark spirits
usually always know that Phantom is the one that is even above
them but right below Xeles. Among the most common people who
claim to be lords of dark spirits are Vobu in the Olympus
universe and Zenrael in the London universe, but are merely
people that Xeles has allowed to use dark spirits for their own
purposes, while Phantom has been given true dominion over the
spirits as long as Phantom is following Xeles's wishes (which he
almost always does). Not only is Phantom a lord of dark spirits
though, he is a creator, which means that he can create dark
spirits as he desires. Usually, he creates dark spirits in the
Deep Shadow Realm, usually using shadows he takes from people to
create more powerful shadows after he found better ways to
create more powerful dark spirits from mortal power, very
similarly to how Xeles creates dark spirits. However, Phantom is
able to create dark spirits with just his presence, similar to
Xeles. Typically, this means that dark spirits as a whole cannot
be used against him, as no dark spirit will attack Phantom
unless on Xeles's authority, and Phantom's authority as a true
lord of dark spirits is something that even the strongest
opponents have trouble dealing with, just as the grim reapers
consider Death their boss. However, as one might guess, this
only applies to dark spirits, and does not apply to any other
normal spirits any other spirits that isn't a dark spirit.
- Second in Command of the Hell of Souls: Those familiar with
death wraiths know the name of the Hall of Souls, where
Toranoraos stores souls that usually have no place in the
afterlife, and is the one that reaps deities and other stronger
beings whose dead spirits usually cannot be contained in the
normal afterlives. Xeles's Hell of Souls is somewhat similar,
but instead of taking souls that have no place, typically his
dark spirits will try to take souls that make deals with humans,
which is mostly what his dark spirits will do in order to bring
more souls to the Hell of Souls. Some dark spirits are able to
take stronger souls under certain circumstances, usually if they
make deals or the death wraiths or Toranoraos see them as too
evil to try and contain. These souls go to the Hell of Souls,
which is Xeles's version of the Hall of Souls. However, instead
of storing souls or putting them in special places, Xeles's Hell
of Souls is more like the hell of the shadow realm. In the Hell
of Souls, Xeles contains every soul that is taken and the dark
spirits use the souls for their own purposes. There are many
ways they use souls, with the most common ways being squeezing
spirit energy from souls like fruit, constantly harnessing
emotional energies from souls, or dark spirits may sometimes
devour souls in order to gain as much power as they can, and
then release the soul to recover and be devoured again. Every
fate that befalls souls who are sent to the Hell of Souls is
often seen as just as bad, if not worse, than hell itself. Xeles
is the ultimate lord of this area, with Phantom being Xeles's
second in command and most faithful servant. Xeles is the
utlimate lord of the Hell of Souls, beyond any dark spirit or
any of his other forces, and Phantom is the second in command
beyond anyone other than Xeles. This isn't really a battle power
or granting him any special statuses, but just tells that no one
can take his lordship of this part of the Shadow Realm from him
other than Xeles.
- Dark Spirit Shadow Tendril Generation/Manifestation: Phantom's
true form is able to generate shadow tendrils that are almost
liquid in nature. His body is able to generate shadow tendrils
at will, usually able to use these tendrils on opponents.
Normally, these aren't visible in his human form, but he can
call these from his body at any time by using his blackened
"blood" that runs through him. These tendrils are able to be
used like whips in combat, and are strong enough to crush people
with more gripping power than even stronger constrictor snakes.
However, he is able to not only summon these from his body, but
he can also summon these from any shadow by calling some of his
presence form the shadow realm. Typically, Phantom can use these
to trap people, or attack them, in which he is able to use these
in many different ways. These tendrils can also be aciding in
nature, or even solidified to attack opponents. Phantom's true
body is a strange physiology, one that cannot be dispelled with
aura breakers, but rather, his tendrils are actually part of his
physiology. His tendrils drip the blackness which is like his
blood, where his body uses the liquid to corrupt others or even
to corrupt shadows if the liquid of the black "blood" touches
the shadows. Typically, he will summon these from his arms when
in mortal form to attack and trap. Of course, like any tendril,
that means that his tendrils can be avoided and blocked if one
can counter Phantom's strength and force of his shadows. His
tendrils, even if summoned from shadows are still more like
pieces of his body, and while they are hard to cut through, they
can be cut through with enough force if one can, since his
body's power is restricted in the living world.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Shadow Immortality
Formation/Regeneration: Just like most other creatures of the
shadow realm, Phantom is able to reform his body using shadows,
just like a dark spirit or death wraith would, since he was one
of the ones that developed shadow regeneration alongside those
like Toranoraos and Xeles. Because Phantom is near immortal, he
is able to recover from almost any injury. While his mortal
forms are typically able to be killed, he is able to reform as
long as he is able to summon his presence, as his shadows can
reform him as many times as he needs to. In the Deep Shadow
realm, there is almost no limit to his true form, and he is able
to recover from almost any type of injury. Of course, that's
assuming someone has the power to hurt him, since there's only a
few people that really have the power to cause any real damage
to him. If he is damaged, his presence of shadows simply reform
him and regenerate anything he might suffer. Because he is
connected to Xeles, he can regenerate using his presence which
seems to be a part of Xeles's presence, and is nearly impossible
to kill under normal circumstances. However, this isn't the case
in the living world, where his mortal forms can be killed if he
takes enough damage, though he does still have shadow
regeneration when in mortal forms. Unlike his normal form in the
Deep Shadow Realm though, his mortal forms are usually have a
limit to how many times they can regenerate, and his forms can
be "killed" and his presence sent back to the shadow realm. As
mentioned before, no one has yet figured out how to kill
Phantom, so it's not clear what it would take to kill him,
though it is obvious that his presence in the Shadow Realm would
have to be erased and passed on to someone else for it to even
have a chance of being extinguished since his presence must
always balance Death.
- Dark Deity Level Black Hole of Darkness: As a true entity of
darkness, Phantom's presence is like a black hole, in which
light and darkness are both drawn into his darkness as a black
hole. While this doesn't affect physical matter, light and
darkness are both drawn into his darkness when in contact with
his body. This typically is the case in the Shadow Realm, but
also affects light and darkness when in the living world as
well. Because of this, darkness and light are pretty much
useless on him. To Phantom, intense light is more of an
annoyance than hurtful, and even flashbangs are not able to hurt
Phantom's shadows or his presence despite him being a higher
level creature of darkness. Because of this, Phantom has
complete immunity to darkness and light, including almost any
special type of either power. Because his presence is like a
black hole, he doesn't absorb them into himself, so he doesn't
process them. This means that light and darkness are not
something that one can use against him. While darkness is fairly
obvious given that Phantom is a multi-dimensional dark spirit of
darkness, most don't usually expect that light is also useless
against him. However, while light and dark are not useful, there
are plenty of other abilities that will work on him as long as
it's not darkness based or light based. Powers like earth
usually work best against him, given him mostly being of the
Shadow Realm and not so much of the physical realms. One can
also use blessed sea salt and iron, as well as burning holy oil.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Immunity to Earthly
Minerals/Negation effects: While Phantom can still be hurt by
earth manipulation and physical objects can still do damage to
him, Phantom is immune to supernatural effects of earthly
minerals. The major metals to note here are his immunity to
metals like varanium, stilled silver, and even the Olympus
universe oceanstone. Phantom is immune to not only these metals,
but is immune to power negation abilities in almost any form.
Because Phantom is so much more powerful than most other
deities, Phantom is not able to be affected by these powers
whether it's by special abilities or special metals. For the
most part, most metals that affect his power in some way don't
work, and his powers are not negatable due to him being a
powerful god of darkness. It is very rare for earthly
supernatural metal effects to hurt him, though he can still be
poisoned with metal assuming that one can get metal into his
mortal form's body. While this doesn't work on his true form in
the Shadow Realm, this poisoning does work when he's on earth.
Usually, certain metals like mercury, or even blessed sea salt
can work on doing damage to his mortal forms bodies. It is also
worth noting that his restrictions in the mortal world are not
affected by this immunity, and he is still restricted in what
how much power he can use in the mortal realm.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Knowledge of the
Multiverse/Dimensional Spaces: Having predated almost the entire
multiverse just like Xeles, Phantom has knowledge of almost
everything in the multiverse. Not only has he seen almost
everything in the multi-verse whether it's past, present, future
or alternate reality entirely, but Phantom has godly connection
to the forces of the universe similar to other deities at higher
levels. For Phantom, he knows almost every force, supernatural,
and what they can do since he has been around since before the
universes were created. Similar to creatures like angels and
demons who have connections to the knowledge of the universes
they are a part of, Phantom has a similar connection to the
multiverse, but as a mult-dimensional being and a being beyond
time. Unlike creatures like angels and demons though, Phantom
also has knowledge of all of the primordial beings and deities
like Galian, Amara and other primordial creatures that predate
creation. Overall, there's not much that Phantom doesn't know,
though this doesn't really translate to battle much, as this
just makes Phantom knowledgable on just about everything in
creation. The only way this translates to battle is that he
knows everything about creatures and their strengths and
weaknesses, which helps him if he has to fight someone, as he
will immediately often know what the races strengths and
weaknesses are, as well as the best methods people have used to
fight them.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Precognition/Timeline Reading:
Because Phantom is beyond the scope of time, he is able to read
the timelines and how they play out. He has knowledge of every
timeline and gains knowledge of timelines as they are created.
Because of this, Phantom has a precognition of how almost
everything will happen, being able to see all the possibilities.
Typically, this means that Phantom is a deity that can see
beyond the scope of time, and this helps him see how almost
anything will play out. This is a power that helps him immensely
as a deity, and allows him to plan almost everything he does in
both his realm and the mortal realm. Phantom has a connection to
himself in every timeline, and is a being that can exist
throughout time all at once. In battle, he typically knows how
ever battle will play out, and can see every possibility. While
this may sound impressive, he can easily change time by acting,
and every action he takes could create a new timeline depending
on how he acts. It is also hard to know sometimes which
decisions will be made in certain situations, so while he can
see every possibility, that doesn't mean he knows exactly which
one will happen. This power is also difficult to use around
people with strong space/time distortions, as while they don't
work on Phantom himself, they do distort his ability to read
space and time, and makes his precognition hard to use since it
distorts his knowledge of when things will happen. Distorting
space and time can be done through someone with power to do so,
or through an object that distorts space and time (like a black
hole), and it will distort Phantom's ability to see different
timelines in the time or space he is in (usually this affects
him in one universe or timeline at a time, though some stronger
users can affect more than just one timeline.)
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Supernatural Sixth Sense and
Enhanced Senses: Just like many other creatures, Phantom has a
sixth sense that lets him sense others and also has highly
enhanced senses. Phantom has normal enhanced senses, usually
dependant on the race he takes the form of. Since he frequents
his human form in the mortal realm, he typically has highly
enhanced human senses, and doesn't have his senses too high. Due
to him having precognition and time/space reading, he really
doesn't need his senses, but his ability to sense other people's
presence also helps. Just like most creatures, sixth senses
allow someone to not only sense who someone is by their unique
presence, but also sense what someone is, as every race has
different aspects of their presence. Phantom's senses are much
stronger than a normal mortal, but not strong enough to really
be used against him, since he typically is strong enough to be
useful, but not strong enough to be overwhelmed easily. However,
a sixth sense can be deceived by skilled opponents, sometimes
not appearing correctly if Phantom can't sense the opponent's
full power or use powers that fool this sense. There are also
skills that hide one's presence so Phantom can't sense them, or
some opponents can suppress their presence so they're not fully
able to be sensed. While this isn't always the best judge of
someone's abilities, it can provide a slight insight to help
Phantom read those around him, and read what people are.
Typically, Phantom uses this to sense people's affinities for
dark arts, since he uses his power to empower others he thinks
has affinities for the dark arts.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Telepathy: This ability lets a
creature communicate telepathically with anyone they can connect
to. Typically this power uses their angel radio, in which they
use it to tune to a person if they know where they are in order
to communicate with them. This lets them communicate with other
people without having to speak, with them being able to share
thoughts directly with others. However, usually the angel has to
know where the person is to use this since they have to know
where to send their thoughts. However, this doesn't apply to
those who establish permanent connections, such as connecting to
other family members. This lets angels not only communicate with
those they have a permanent connect with, but can also tell them
where they are at any time should they require to find them or
need to be summoned to them (which they typically do with their
angel radio). Those who are set up with permanent connections
have to accept the connection, and even then, they can sever it
if they choose to.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Psychic Power Immunity/Chaotic
Mind Defense: Like most primordial deities, Phantom is
completely immune to psychic effects on his body and mind, and
cannot be affected by these psychic powers. This also applies to
any type of emotional manipulation or influence powers, in which
Phantom is not affected by these kinds of abilities. Anyone who
tries to connect with his mind through psychic abilities will be
overwhelmed by his chaotic mind, which seems to be a natural
defense he has against mind readers. It is theorized that
because of celestians being a primordial race, Phantom gained
this immunity to avoid them being an issue to him. Anyone who is
affected will feel traces of Phantom's shadows of desire
presence, and be able to sense part of his presence that draws
out people's innermost desires. Typically, this is only a part
of his presence, so the psychological effect is not permanent,
but it can take someone out of a fight, as even those with
emotional manipulation immunity supernatural powers will be
affected by this.
- Multi-Dimensional Dark Spirit Enhanced Supernatural and
Physical Stats: As a dark deity level opponent, Phantom has
powerful physical and supernatural stats, in which his stats are
above typical beings. Phantom's physical stats are fairly
impressive, where all of his stats are enhanced thanks to his
status as a dark multi-dimensional spirit. Phantom's stamina and
near immortality are his two biggest stats, since he is a
multi-dimensional dark spirit. However, in terms of strength and
defense, Phantom is strong enough to throw cars at people,
pierce through metal with his attacks, and can use his combat
styles he knows to utilize his physical stats to their max. With
almost any combat style, Phantom is able to move faster than
most mortals can process, and can use combat style's ability to
maximize their physical abilities. Thanks to this, Phantom is
just as dangerous of a combatant as any supernatural, and with
his dark deity level enhanced stats, he is a very dangerous
opponent. While he is still limited by what he can do in the
mortal realm, his full self in the shadow realm is someone that
people would never want to fight.
Transformations:
- True Form (Locked when not in the Deep Shadow Realm):
Phantom's true form is one that cannot be seen by mortals, and
many who have tried have gone crazy in fear of it. While not as
bad as Xeles, Phantom's true form is one that he cannot use in
the mortal realm, as it is not only too powerful, but causes too
much fear and manipulation of minds that Phantom himself cannot
keep the effect under control. Phantom's true form is one that
generates fear in others, as it's often seen as one of the most
powerful and dangerous dark spirits aside from Xeles. While it's
not as powerful as Xeles's, no one other than Death, Toranoraos
and Xeles have seen his true form and not gone insane from it.
This form is only able to be used in the Deep Shadow Realm,
where Phantom's true self lies. If he were to use this form in
the real world, Toranoraos and Death would immediately send
Phantom back to the Deep Shadow Realm and prevent him from
leaving, so Phantom knows not to use this otherwise he won't be
allowed to operate in the mortal realm. Luckily, this means that
no one in the mortal realms will be able to be affected by the
fear of seeing his real form, unless they go to the Hell of
Souls, or they specifically seek out his presence. So it is rare
for anyone to actually see his real presence unless they
specifically try. It is also notable that even when being
"killed" in the mortal realm, he will not take this form, and
will opt to die in his normal mortal form rather than take this
form and risk breaking his agreement with Death that lets him
operate in the living world to keep him from forcefully taking
souls.
Weaknesses:
- Xeles's counter is the first generation Death, plain and
simple. Toranoraos and Death keep Phantom from doing whatever he
wants, and prevents Phantom from having his dark spirits run off
with all of the human souls they can take. Phantom and Death
mostly avoid each other, and both know the other is each other's
opposite. Phantom and Death normally don't get involved in death
wraith vs dark spirits, and usually the two don't bother each
other's operations unless Phantom himself is taking innocent
souls, which is something that Death doesn't allow him to do
unless they've made deals with dark spirits and Phantom has the
proof of the deal (which he always does when he takes a soul
specifically so he can present it to Death). The dark spirits vs
death wraiths is something that Phantom and Death don't get
involved in (though Phantom is a bit of an exception at times),
and they usually avoid it. If Phantom were to get involved and
try to give his forces an advantage, Death would step in and
stop Phantom from being able to influence the sway of the war.
Typically, Death will try to save any souls that are taken by
dark spirits that don't make deals with them, and Death puts
strict rules on how he and Phantom deal with mortals. If Phantom
breaks the rules, or he allows his forces to break the rules,
usually Death or Toranoraos will step in before things get too
bad. Anyone who has a problem with Phantom can usually go to
Toranoraos or Death, as they are the only deities that have any
real authority when it comes to dealing with Phantom and Xeles.
Overall, Phantom and Death mostly just compete for souls, so
they don't really fight anyone unless someone comes looking for
a fight or they have to get involved if it's something to do
with their groups.
- Phantom's presence is a bit of a double edged sword. His
presence brings out the sinful desires in others, which sounds
great, but can be a bother at times. For example, some people
with murderous intent they try to hide may lose control of it
and attack Phantom, as Phantom's presence draws out the
murderous intent hidden in the person. There have also been
times when women's lusts have overtaken their desire for
rational thought and some un-family-friendly things have
happened due to it. Phantom's presence has both good and bad
aspects, and while it usually doesn't negatively affect him too
much, it does cause problems sometimes. Typically, Phantom tries
to avoid certain desires if he can. While he's all for sinful
desires like lust, greed and other desires, he has certain
limits he tries to avoid in those desires, as there are certain
lines even he doesn't really like crossing. This is more of a
personal preference, and mostly just something that he considers
a nuisance when people's desires get too out of control. Phantom
usually just tries to being them out enough that people are
willing to make deals with him, but he doesn't usually try to
overload people because they won't make rational deals if he
does. Overall, weaker willed people are more likely to lose
control of their desires than strong willed people, though some
strong willed people not used to being able to be manipulated
have also been known to lose control of their desires. Usually,
Phantom tries to avoid it too much just as much as some people
try to avoid being overwhelmed.
- If one decides to fight Phantom's mortal forms, as difficult
as it would be, it is not impossible to beat him if one is
prepared enough. There are three weapons that one would likely
want to have. The first is a death wraith soul sword, as part of
the reason death wraiths learned to use soul swords was to not
only fight lost souls, but also to fight dark spirits. As a
result of dark spirits being spawned form Xeles's presence, soul
swords do more damage to his mortal forms, and are great weapons
to use on Phantom as a dark spirit. The second weapon one would
want is burning holy oil. Just like other deities like Amara and
Galian, burning holy oil will usually burn and damage Phantom's
body extremely well. If one can hit him with burning holy oil,
it will burn away any part of his body that is touched by it. As
such, it's quite effective against him. Another great weapon is
blessed sea salt, which works pretty well against any shadow
denizen whether it's of Toranoraos's origin or Xeles's origin.
Blessed sea salt doesn't burn as much as burning holy oil, but
it does do damage to him, and forcing him to swallow it can
poison his mortal forms. It is recommended that one comes with
all three if they want to fight him, hopefully as a group, but
one with enough preparation can kill Phantom's mortal form.
Though nothing stops Phantom from eventually making another
mortal form after a certain amount of time unless Death or
Toranoraos have a reason to stop him (which they won't do unless
Phantom is breaking the rules they set for him).
Personality: When in the multiverse, Phantom is a fun-loving
person who just wants to indulge in any sinful desire he
pleases, while trying to tempt humans into the sinful desires
that will bring them into deals with dark spirits. He is usually
a mix of business and pleasure, and is someone most people would
think is very respectable. Most people who meet him realize
quickly that he's not some evil monster like Xeles is, but some
have even fallen prey to his fun personality that tries to get
people to do whatever they want. This is completely purposeful
though, and Phantom is fully aware of how his personality is
usually seen as not being a threat. Most who meet him expect
someone like a crossroads demon, but Phantom is someone who can
get people to open up to him without them making a deal, and is
great at getting people on his side through words. Phantom is
great with words, and can charm almost anyone. He is even able
to make friends with death wraiths and other creatures who would
normally have nothing to do with him or Xeles. It is Phantom's
temptations and his personality that make him so dangerous,
because giving into one's own desires could drive them down a
path that Phantom wants. In battle, Phantom is very tactical,
though often just relies on his superior dark arts abilities.
Phantom is very prideful when he talks about himself as a dark
spirit, and can be surprisingly evil at times. When he gets
angry, he almost never shows it in anger or yelling, but more he
will smile cheerfully and say something simple to someone that
is usually enough to scare them into submission rather than
simply yelling at them. Many find his angry modes terrifying,
though they are rather rare.
Bio: Many now know the story of Toranoraos and Death, and how
they are the main beings who handle organizing the forces of
death. And many who do research on them will often come across
the name Xeles, the Scarlet King, who is the other half of the
Shadow Realm. However, most people don't know that Xeles has his
own servant, who is almost like his firstborn son. This was the
being who would become known as Phantom, as mortals couldn't
pronounce his actual name. Phantom became the opposite of the
first generation Death, and the two, at the dawn of creation,
opted for a battle. It wasn't a battle of power though, as they
competed for the souls of mortals. In an effort to contain
Phantom from organizing the dark spirits to just invade the
living worlds constantly, Death came up with a plan to keep
Phantom occupied on something so that he wouldn't be interested
in just flat out warring with Death and Toranoraos. While they
were involved in the death wraiths vs dark spirit wars that have
been present since the beginning of creation, Phantom and Death
have simply opted more for competing for deals with souls.
While Death has no need to make deals with souls, as any souls
that don't deal with dark spirits are in his domain, Phantom was
only allowed to take souls that make deals with him. As such,
Phantom set up his business in the mortal worlds. Unlike Xeles,
he's not interested in invading the living world with dark
spirits like Xeles is, but rather, he opts to increase the Hell
of Souls by increasing the amount of humans that deal with dark
spirits. It was because of Phantom that many universes hells
develop the Crossroads demons, and even many versions of Lucifer
often take inspiration from Phantom. Phantom is one of the few
dark spirits allowed to operate in the realm of the mortals, and
has been doing so for the majority of time after creation.
Because Phantom operates on a deal with Death, he is limited to
what he can and can't do, such as the fact that Phantom can't
just go around taking any souls he wants, although Phantom can
take souls that make deals with him, much in the same way
Crossroads demons operate.
Over the years, Phantom has operated and adjusted to times as
they changed, in which he usually poses as a human trying to
make deals with humans to give them things like power or status.
Phantom works in almost every dimension, though most will find
him in some sort of organization or group that specializes in
fun and letting loose, usually in the form of clubs or similar
establishments. Phantom has worked a lot of questionable jobs
since the older days of humanity, from owning criminal
organizations, to owning black markets, brothels, modeling and
acting agencies, parts of Hollywood and (these days) clubs.
Phantom's favorite is his club "Shadows of Sin", in which he
considers it one of his best establishments because it focuses
on people having fun and doing what they desire to do, as the
club has become known for a wide range of things, not all of
which are legal (Like Phantom has a drug trade, a prostitution
ring, and even a black market). Phantom has even owned churches
of popular religions, trying to corrupt their religion into
something that they wouldn't think was evil, but find out leads
them to dealing with dark spirits. Phantom has been very subtle
over the years, and is great at just about everything he does,
and all the businesses he has have been quite successful. These
days, most will find Phantom at his club, which is usually found
in populated places depending on the universe. In London, he is
often found at his club, Shadows of Sin, which is in New
Orleans. Though in London he gets ready to open a new branch of
his club in London, which will be run by Zenrael. In Olympus,
his club is also found in New Orleans, but he also has club
branches in New York, London, Japan, and even in Russia.
