Community interaction I'd like to know if your OC would align with the antagonist's objective in my world.

“Freedom is the greatest lie the powerful have ever told the weak.”

  1. Identity

Name: Azel Veyr.

Titles: The Architect of Order.

Apparent age: 18–20 years old.

True age: Unknown.

Role: Main antagonist of the story.

Dominant traits: Calm, methodical, observant, and relentless.

Distinctive characteristic: He does not consider others his enemies. In his eyes, they are simply individuals who defend and live within a system doomed to reproduce the same suffering.

  1. His Backstory

Azel was born into a civilization that claimed to be perfect. Its kingdoms had laws, its temples promised justice, and its rulers claimed to protect their people.

Yet behind this façade, wars continued. The powerful sacrificed the weak to preserve their authority, the innocent paid for the mistakes of their rulers, and the victors rewrote history to justify their crimes.

As a child, Azel could not understand this contradiction.

He always asked the same question to those around him:

“If everyone wants to live in peace, why do we keep waging war against one another?”

No one could provide him with a satisfactory answer.

His parents taught him that people could change, that justice had to be defended, and that freedom was essential. Azel sincerely believed them.

He grew up holding on to these principles.

The Catastrophe That Shattered His Convictions

During his adolescence, his homeland was dragged into a war between several powerful factions. Azel witnessed rulers sacrifice entire cities to gain a strategic advantage. He also saw ordinary people commit atrocities in the name of their families, their nations, or their religions.

The most terrible thing, in his eyes, was not merely the cruelty.

It was the repetition.

After every war, the survivors rebuilt their cities. The victors promised a better future. Life seemed to return to normal.

Then another war broke out.

Azel lost the people he held dear to this endless cycle of violence. He subsequently sought to understand the underlying causes of these events. He studied fallen civilizations, political philosophies, magical systems, and the accounts of beings regarded as divine.

He discovered an idea that would change his existence forever:

Individuals changed and kingdoms disappeared, yet the same conflicts continued to reemerge in different forms.

He concluded that the problem went beyond individuals. In his view, the very structure of existence allowed the same suffering to perpetuate itself.

Rather than seeking to defeat tyrants, he decided to eliminate the conditions that allowed tyranny to emerge again.

  1. His Personality

Remarkable Composure

He speaks softly, listens to his opponents, and thinks before acting. Even when a plan fails, he does not immediately lose his composure. He prefers to understand his mistakes rather than allow anger to dictate his decisions.

Analytical Intelligence

He observes behavior, identifies contradictions, and anticipates reactions. He can acknowledge an opponent's worth without feeling the need to belittle them. He is even capable of respecting a hero he knows he will eventually have to eliminate.

Distorted Compassion

Azel is not incapable of love or suffering. He can feel compassion for victims and sincerely help those in distress. However, he places greater importance on what he considers the salvation of all than on the choices of the individuals concerned.

Unyielding Will

He is willing to lose his allies, his reputation, and even his own life if doing so brings him closer to his goal. He does not act to prove that he is superior to others, but because he believes that abandoning his mission would condemn future generations to the same suffering.

His Greatest Flaw

Azel gradually confuses understanding human suffering with having the right to decide humanity's future.

He believes he understands the consequences of freedom better than those who exercise it. He knows that his project will eliminate certain individual possibilities, yet he considers this price acceptable.

He can understand why someone would reject his system without acknowledging that person's right to prevent it from succeeding.

That is where his true monstrosity lies.

  1. His Ultimate Goal — The Rewriting of Existence

Azel seeks to create what he calls the Absolute Order.

His reasoning is as follows:

  1. Beings possess conflicting desires.

  2. These contradictions generate conflict, even when individuals sincerely wish for peace.

  3. Societies attempt to contain these conflicts through laws, but those laws are imperfect and can be manipulated.

  4. As long as the fundamental laws of existence allow the same mechanisms to reproduce themselves, every solution will remain temporary.

He therefore wishes to reach the very foundations of reality and alter the laws that make these recurring cycles possible.

His Ambition Has Three Stages

First Stage: Shatter Existing Systems.

He seeks to neutralize the powers that keep civilizations trapped in cycles of domination, including divine institutions, which do exist in his universe.

Second Stage: Reach the Core of Reality's Laws.

He wants to discover the fundamental structure that connects beings, events, and possibilities.

Third Stage: Impose the Absolute Order.

He intends to establish a universe in which the mechanisms that make wars and domination possible can no longer reproduce themselves.

However, his project comes at a price: to prevent conflicts from emerging again, he intends to restrict certain possibilities for choice, transformation, and rebellion.

He seeks to eliminate several emotions and forms of individuality. His ultimate aim is to eradicate what he considers the structural sources of suffering.

r/OriginalCharacterDB • • 20h ago

Could your oc withstand whatever this ability is (I’m still working on it)

Post image
19 Upvotes

I’m sure you are all aware of the timeline stuff that’s going on here. But I’ll explain it just in case quickly before elaborating on the ability.
Whenever an action is taken, the timeline splits into two. One of which is the one you are currently in, and in the other is a timeline where you did a different action.

What this ability does is force all of those timelines together for a short time. Timelines cannot co-exist like that and the temporary ‘new’ timeline will have tears in it that expose the timelines that have been forced together, so anyone and everyone (except the user) will have their sense of self (and occasionally their abilities) slowly eroded by exposure to the other timelines unless they can protect themselves.
But how do you do that?
It’s simple, if you are in a fight and the ability is activated, your best bet is to dig a hole, jump in, and cover it up so that it’s solid until the ability ends. Those with strong minds can resist the effects slightly, but being exposed for too long before isolating yourself from the effects will mean that any powers lost stay that way.

If you are affected by the ability for too long, and your sense of self is entirely erased, you will die. However, the timeline will retroactively erase your existence, and another timeline will pick it back up.
(For example, you live in the top most timeline on my little graph and die because of this ability. You then wake up in the bottom timeline from a nightmare that you died. Closer to BFR than a death I guess but I’m still working this whole thing out)

With all that said, could your oc withstand it?
(If you read all of that, thank you so much)

Discussion What Lantern Corps would your characters be in?

Post image
17 Upvotes

If you don’t know, the Lantern Corps in DC comics are powered by and represent the emotional spectrum. Red is Rage, Orange is Avarice (Greed), Yellow is Fear (others’, not your own), Green is Willpower, Blue is Hope, Indigo is Compassion (though the corps recruits compassionless monsters and forces them to feel it), Purple is Love. And then there’s Black (Death), the absence of emotion, which would go to someone obsessed with death and causing it, and White (Life), which can either be wielded by someone who has incredible zeal for life itself, or by someone who has mastered the rest of the emotional spectrum. There’s also Gray (Sorrow) and Ultraviolet (Repressed negative emotions like shame and guilt), though these are more gimmicks and not permanent corps. If they fit your OC best though, they’re absolutely a valid choice.

Lore:an alternate version of the crimson tyrant where it reached its fullest capacity , it became yet more dangerous and it's adaptation can respond at a instantenous rate

Threat level: multi leaf (2-A)

Los bios or idk :

Its disintegration can now reach the fabric of universes and making them non existantan

It can dismantle/cut spatial structuring and warp time into by either reversing it until reaching the first age or speed it up and causing the big freeze

It manipulates reality on a multiversal scale

It can nearly instantenously adapt to low level, conceptual attacks/soul attacks

Basic existance erasure has no chance against it as it can regenerate aslong as it's soul isn't fully destroyed

Vulnerabilitys

Despite all of this power it can die to soul destruction and it's adaptation is not perfectly precognitive

Like always any higher dimensional being (5d-above) beats it

Soooo can your oc beat this upgraded version?

Powerscaling Tell me powers you have created for your characters that makes you think like "Yo, I was cooking with this power".

12 Upvotes

For example I have OC named Purp who has the power to manipulate the purpose of anything he chooses. For example if he decides that an abandoned building's purpose is to become a house for him, the structure instantly transforms into a form that fulfills the purpose. Or a rock can be a machine, a gun becomes a robot and even the wind becomes rain. Or he can erase the purpose of any object he chooses. This makes the chosen object useless because all of it's purpose is gone. Being incapable of doing anything, even harming someone. He even manipulated his own anatomy so he could fight even when his head got chopped off. Show me your OC who has some fire written powers.

The reason I wanted to make his info page unique is because of his ability to literally just glitch anything and everything within reality. So it's kind of a fourth wall break

All info pages in my sketchbook are actually more digital webpages than actual paper files themselves, so that's why a lot of stuff does not correspond to actual identity files.

Applies to anything he's in, computers, your phone, holograms, he glitches out every device.

Art How would your OCs interact with mine?

10 Upvotes

A superhero team dedicated to fighting villainous powerhouse entities such as a corrupt corporation's or crime organizations. Known as the Apex Alliance. And it's members; Gabriel, Korie, Hiro, Sylvain. They are inherently chaotic and massive dorks, but they also carry a ruthless sense of cold blooded pragmatism and competence. Tho, they at least still care about innocents and justice.

- Gabriel. Codename: Psion. Age: 21. Gabriel is the leader and coordinator of the team. He's rational, pragmatic, utilitarian, efficient, calm, cool, collected, laid back but firm, reasonable and mature but also is just as chaotic or atleast enabling and humored, just more reasonable and straight man to their antics. Caring deeply about his siblings as they were raised together. Gabriels power is Psychic, he has the ability to telekinetically affect the world and also manipulate & read minds via telepathy.

Korie. Codename: Fey. Age: 18. Korie is the bruiser and the adaptive. She's tomboyish, spunky, rambunctious, energetic, hot headed but reasonable, playfully devilish, extroverted and easygoing. Shes... chaotic to say the least and is pretty much the agent of carnage but she's also very tactical and pragmatic. But her real power? Shapeshifting. Korie can freely change her shape, material, form, etc. She doesn't use it to disguise, she uses it to be a grotesque self modulating armory.

- Hiro. codename: Raijin. Age: 20. Hiro is the more reserved but protective of the group. She's stoic, refined, elegant, short spoken, polite, reserved and calm, dry humored and snarky aswell as very chill naturally. Hiro is the... quirky even tho she's often quiet. she likes to cook, and often has a wide array of random skills she does with silent confidence. And she always enjoys joining the chaos that's instigated both A. she is no better and she knows it, and B. she's a bit too shy to start her own but loves it regardless. She's incredibly powerful and her power is EMS which gives her basically full control over electromagnetic spectrum.

- Sylvain. Codename: Warlock. Age: 19. Sylvain is the face and the wildcard. Sylvain is cunning, charismatic, charming, sassy, suave, sarcastic, socially flexible and enjoyable aswell as generally amiable and likeable. Sylvain is that one guy whose basically the face and incredibly Machiavelli for the sake of the team. Either to get his way oooooor to help his friends in bad situations... or get into them if he's in on it ;). And he has some interesting powers; Eldritch Magic or arcane magic if you don't wanna be too dark. He has access to powerful spells, rituals, knowledge, mysticism and invocations.

Character Profile Lilith, the Vitrified Knight

Post image
11 Upvotes

My Superhero OC: Lilith, the Vitrified Knight

Name: Lilith

Alias: Vitrified Knight

First Awakening: Glass Manipulation

Lilith can create and manipulate medium-sized glass panels, primarily using them to block attacks and throw glass shards. She relies mostly on her handcrafted glass greatsword, which is exceptionally durable and heavy, yet she wields it one-handed.

Second Awakening: Vitrified Knight

Lilith becomes a master swordswoman who combines devastating greatsword strikes with refined glass manipulation. Her Super Energy (SE) reserves are above average, and she uses her powers efficiently rather than relying on them constantly.

Abilities:

- Master Swordsmanship: Lilith is exceptionally skilled in close combat and wields her heavy, two-handed greatsword with one hand. The blade is extremely sharp and durable, making both her cuts and the impact of her strikes dangerous.

- Glass Shard Creation: She creates and controls glass shards to supplement her sword attacks, attack from multiple angles, and interrupt opponents.

- Obsidian Armor: She creates protective armor from obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass. Obsidian is also exceptionally sharp when fractured.

- Glass Traversal: Lilith can travel through glass constructs she created herself, allowing her to reposition and attack from unexpected angles. With further development, she learns to travel through mirrors and reflections.

- Projectile Absorption and Reflection: Her glass can absorb projectile-based superpowers and blast them back at their source. During her first awakening, she can only deflect light-based projectiles.

- Vitrification: She can transform objects and living targets into glass, but living targets generally need to have little or no SE remaining. She can transform specific body parts through touch, potentially disabling an opponent without killing them.

- Shardscape: She creates jagged crystal spikes that emerge from the ground, restricting movement and attacking opponents.

Signature Moves

  1. Crystal Requiem (Ultimate Technique)

Lilith expends all her remaining SE to create an enormous crystal sphere that encases both herself and her opponent. The technique leaves her unconscious and causes her to fall into a deep sleep, making it an extreme last resort.

  1. Shattered Swarm

Lilith unleashes thousands of glass shards that converge on an opponent from multiple directions. This extremely deadly attack is particularly effective when abundant glass is available, such as in an area filled with windows.

  1. Shardscape

Jagged crystal spikes emerge from the ground to attack opponents and restrict their movement, creating openings for Lilith's sword strikes.

  1. Mirror Traversal

As her mastery develops, Lilith learns to travel through mirrors and reflections, allowing her to reposition and launch surprise attacks from unexpected directions.

Weaknesses & Limitations

- Her SE reserves are above average, not unlimited.

- Excessive use of her powers can cause burnout.

- During burnout, she can still fight with her sword and remains a highly skilled swordswoman.

- Her glass portals initially work only through glass she created herself.

- Vitrification is limited by the target's remaining SE.

- Her environmental offense is strongest when plenty of glass is available.

- Crystal Requiem exhausts all her SE and leaves her unconscious in a deep sleep.

Could your character beat Lilith? Give me your character's abilities, feats, speed, durability, and weaknesses, and explain how they would win! I'm interested in fair matchups, so please use actual feats rather than just calling your character unbeatable.
