Wraith

Uh oh gamers I made a villain that I'm in love with mmm,,

So! This guy goes in Mercury's story! Ever since starting to use Mercury I've immediately gotten tons of ideas for other characters for his world so haha. And what else would some fighting robots need than something to fight against? So I started brainstorming antagonist ideas, and this guy is the first! And uhhh whoopsies I love him a bit more than anticipated haha. I jumped around concepts for his design a LOT before settling here actually?? I knew I wanted him to be grim reaper-esque and use a beam scythe, but aside from that I was stuck. At first I had a minor idea of taking him down a dog-like path and naming him Cerberus? But that didn't really fit. Then I stumbled across the name Wraith and everything just fell into place haha. I'm SO proud of his design like?? Yummy?? Especially his shoes (feet maybe?? I don't know don't ask me.) I love how they match his cloak, and the heels?? Ughhhh his heels slay me,, so good,,

I don't have the motivation to make him a full ref but I'll upload it when I do! I also don't have a TON of info for him as he's pretty new, but here's what I do have at least!

Wraith is a villainous robot, one known for his brutal and devious style. He is a trained assassin and right-hand man to his organization's leader. His jobs mainly revolve around killing targets and securing parts for his organization's plans. At one point, he worked together with Ares. In his eyes at least, the two were surprisingly close. After Ares joined Mercury, however, things took a more sour turn. The two were alerted to a robot being referred to as a "serial killer," which led them to their first confrontation. They've had several since, and Wraith is a consistently deadly thorn in their sides.

As a person, Wraith tows the line between being a cold, cunning mastermind and an unpredictable, ruthless madman. He's very menacing, sadistic, and cruel. He has no qualms with torturing and killing to get his way, and in fact does as such frequently. He finds inflicting violence to be a huge rush, one which he puts effort into making as creative and brutal as possible. He also loves messing with people psychologically. He gets great pleasure out of getting into his enemies' heads, breaking them down mentally before dealing a final blow physically. He especially likes to taunt. He's the kind of guy who would slice your arm off, then laugh at you and ask you if you need a hand. He has a twisted sense of humor, one he loves to let fly on the battlefield. The more distressed he can make those he's targeting, the better. He can adapt and improvise to circumstances he's put into on the fly, making him an even more formidable threat. He's difficult to read, to say the least. He often does what you least expect him to, and always keeps you on your toes. He is, in a way, the perfect killing machine, and he loves it.

In battle, Wraith wields his beam scythe. He's a master at using it in all sorts of gruesome ways. He is no stranger to using his scythe and bare hands in tandem. He'd slice one limb off, then pin an enemy and rip off the opposite one, for instance. Or grab an opponent and lift them in the air in order to stab them. He also has a cloaking ability. He can go invisible at will. However, this invisibility has its limits. For one, he is still tangible and audible when doing it. He can't mask his voice or other sounds, and if someone were able to locate and hit him, he would be knocked out of his cloaking. He can also only use this in short bursts, usually no longer than around a minute. However, he is well aware of these limits, and uses them to his advantage instead of his detriment. He tricks his opponents into false beliefs about his abilities. He moves and uses his cloaking to make it appear more like he has a teleportation ability, leading his enemies to false suspicions. He also uses sound, like his rattling chains or his laughter, to mess with people. This works surprisingly well, at least until his abilities are figured out and he gets knocked on his ass by a smart opponent. Which many may consider to be very satisfying.

And some little facts!

• He is incredibly tall, like seven or eight feet at least. His figure is paradoxical, both strong and muscular yet also almost skeletal.
• This is his theme, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
• This is his voice claim haha.
• His eyes glow, and his eyes can widen and narrow depending on his emotions!
• His mouth can open! His darker lower jaw can open and close so he can speak.
• While he is a very evil person, he is not incapable of care. However, his version of that is very twisted. If he likes someone, it can run the gamut from simple loyalty to terrifying obsession.
• He has this sort of obsession for Ares. He's not sure entirely how he sees him, somewhere between a friend and family, but knows he cares deeply for him. He desperately wants Ares back, no matter what that takes.
• He has a deep, borderline obsessive hatred for Mercury. This could be for a variety of reasons. He wonders if it could be partially because of envy and disdain for Ares picking his side. Nevertheless, he gets especially cruel and brutal around Mercury.
• He possibly has a partner by the name of Haze. She is able to hack and inject viruses into opponents. She specially creates these viruses to cause essentially hallucinations in enemies, instilling them with fear and distracting them while he attacks and adds on with his taunting. The two get along in psychological warfare quite well. He cares for her deeply. She's the closest thing he has to a healthy relationship.
• He often refers to himself as a sort of "parasite," "infection," or "plague" on those he targets.
• More later haha
