Sehnsucht gave a look of annoyance, wishing she had the springheels that lay not too far away. She braced herself nonetheless, prepared for the chain-scythe and the fact that she would have to stand very still while she worked out a way to clean the vermillion wisps.
"You don't make things easy." She signed with annoyance.

"You're the one who chose to fight Sweet cheeks, I offered to let you go." He smirked as he feinted out and then leapt into the air."Got you again!" He chuckled as he clapped and all the wisps along the floor detonated like tiny scatter bombs."...." He watched with amusement as the pink smoke cleared.

Title: The Mad Angel

Appearance: Standing tall at 7 feet, the Mad Angel is a thing to behold. Razor sharp teeth, glowing yellow eyes, skin purple as venom and flowing black hair, reaching all the way down to the middle of its back. It resembles a human in the way its body is shaped, but not much else otherwise. A sharp nose, wearing what looks like something a roman god would wear, just red in color. It's got six pairs of wings, all demonic looking ones. Sharp nails on its fingers more resembling claws, dark red in color. Always with a grin of madness on its face and a look that tells you it's up to no good.

Personality: It is not to be trusted, that much is for sure. It still makes sure to treat its own Champion well enough, but you never know what will or could happen. Cackling whenever it could, shouting in rage whenever things wouldn't go like it wanted them to, or just not bothering if it didn't feel like it. Its mind was twisted because of the change and it says what's on its mind, more often than not unpleasant or rude things. Get close to it at your own risk, but be prepared for whatever madness stands in front of you, for it can change in the blink of an eye, if not faster. It's ruthless in whatever it takes on, and doesn't care who or what gets in the way, apart from maybe its Champion.

Who they used to be: The Mad Angel used to be a man in his late thirties in the year 2210. With the rapid increase in technology and its advancements, it was no wonder that things were seemingly going well. Although there were machines doing work there, people were still doing most of the jobs. Machines were just doing the more dangerous ones. The man we're talking about, though, wasn't so lucky. There were rare cases of jobless people, but they were still there. And they were taken care of, just not in a fatal way. This one man had thought he'd be able to do so much more than he had. But he didn't regret the choices he made in life. After a while, he started doing acts on the streets. He wasn't a terrible singer nor was he a bad actor. It didn't make him much, seeing as money was all going through electronically these days. But it gave him joy, which he thought was more important, though sometimes he had breakdowns and didn't feel like doing anything. He still had some dreams he wanted to make happen. Some of those dreams were just fantasies, and others were dreams that could come true. He also had a lot of imagination, but sometimes not the memory to back it up. However, one day, everything changed as he was transformed while having one of his rare breakdowns where he had his wild imagination run, and basically transformed into what his mind wished for him to be because of the breakdown. Though he was no longer a he, but an it.

Dominions: Madness, chaos and destruction.

Domain: A world of chaos and madness, one could say. It could be your kind of place, should you like dismembered bodies strewn onto the walls like decorations, hearts of numerous sizes and shapes hanging from ceilings and other places on the outside alongside a few lemons here and there, because why not. Filled with peculiar smells to throw you off and make you unable to actually detect what it is. Walls with holes in them, large enough to walk through, but not necessarily straight onwards, so you might need to walk sideways or even tilting a bit. It's a city in ruins, built to make anyone miserable except the ones who truly are mad. And at the heart of it all is a tower built from machines. Many openings on the outside of it. Whether they are windows or were meant to be doors is unknown to anyone, even the Mad Angel. A throne sits at the top room of the tower, with a large opening for the Mad Angel to enter via flight, because it'd just be madness to try and walk up all those stairs. Eyeballs fly all around the domain, keeping an eye on things, watching whether madness is being followed or not.

Minions:

Clown Creepers: These things follow the Mad Angel at every command. Dressed up as your typical clowns, though they look like twisted versions of clowns, some even having two heads, though all take after the Mad Angel with having glowing eyes and sharp teeth. You never see one who isn't either chuckling or laughing out loud. Their special attacks are something they themselves call a punchline. The clown creepers make a noise to attract a target, then punch their targets as spikes come out of their knuckles to deal more damage to their target.

Jester Mages: You could call them funny. You could. If you wanted a face made of pain right afterwards. These things shouldn't be messed with as they have spells with which to deal with whatever they deem fit for needing to be dealt with. Laugh at them? Feel as your skin melts off. Point and stare? Say goodbye to your brain as it leaks out of your ears. Look at them funny? Your eyes will get inverted so you will only ever see the inside of your head. Their appearance is that of a jester from a fairy tale, with the hat that has bells on them, wearing bright colors

Harlequins: These lovely ladies will make you wish you hadn't met them, if you'll even get the chance to see them. Specializing in stealth, they will make sure that you'll never want to leave your house and look around paranoid as if you just saw or heard something giggling far away. They have the most fun when they make their targets mad from not knowing who is doing these things to them. They have a special gas for you should you be lucky enough to be their prey for the day that will blind you and cause you to itch all over. It doesn't sound deadly, but throw in the fact that this thing will actually burn you up from the inside, you'll see just how deadly it is. Or not, since you'll be blind anyway.

Fallen One: Made in the Mad Angel's image, but not so much that you would confuse them, Fallen Ones are quite deadly. They're fast. They're strong. They don't care if you plead innocent or try to fight them. You will get trashed. They like to taunt their foes, then rip them to pieces if they can. And if they can't, they will damn well continue their assault on you. Though they might change their tactics based on whether they think the situation calls for a physical assault or a mental one, because they are adapt at making others succumb to madness with their silver tongues and frequency in their voices. They're just as prone to fits of madness as their creator, and will obey it to death, and maybe further if it decides to revive them for no reason.

Interventions: It should be noted that none of these will work on the Mad Angel and its creations.

Shriek of Madness - Its Champion is allowed to use the same shriek the Mad Angel likes to use to make others go into fits of madness. It's quite effective and could even make its targets permanently mad.

The Chaos Within - The Champion is turned into the very image of chaos, a giant demonic creature hellbent on destroying anything and everything.

For Better Destruction - When you absolutely must destroy everything in sight. This will make the Champion not stop destroying until they run out of energy or the Mad Angel says so. The Champion gains enhanced strength, stamina and agility at the cost of losing control over themselves for as long as possible, though without the worry of turning mad like the Mad Angel and its creations.

Champion: The Mordred

Other: It should be noted that the Mad Angel's voice can go from being a shriek when it's cackling and otherwise being in a jolly mood, to being deep and almost demonic if you get it angry.

"I'll thank you not to call me th- ugh!"
Just as Sehnsucht had been ready to slam down the borrowed scythe, the detonation had left her comedically jumping from foot to foot avoiding the detonations. She gave a backflip away, mislanding on her feet and slipping on the ivory ground.
This would be the embarrassing if it weren't for the fact I were so damn angry...Damn cheating son of a...-

"Hmmm. Not bad." The Mad Angel sidestepped away from the blow of the Mordred. "Though better will always be better. And this place looks hideous anyway!" It cackled for no reason. "Could do with a bit of this...and a bit of that..." It danced around as it made twisted shapes on the various walls around.

Suddenly, without warning, the Mad Angel turned around towards the Mordred. "Isn't this just wonderful?" it said with glee, then hovered over towards him. "I do like what you did to this place. More death is always welcome, though madness doesn't equal death, now does it?!" Finished with its...whatever it was, the Mad Angel hovered up into the air. "It's a delightful day here. Then again, there's never a delightful day! Except for me. And maybe you. I'm not sure, to be honest. But I'm never honest, or do you claim to know when I'm honest?"

Its six wings flapping slowly to keep it in the air, it flew around in circles, watching its Champion. "You like destruction. Don't deny it, it's in your eyes! Or maybe that's just the flames. Or a flaming passion. Which causes your eyes to go all crazy!" It shrugged and chuckled. Its creations, its minions, watched their creator hovering around, ready for any and all commands.

Vermilion leaned over and collected the harvester, he then checked his watch and chuckled."Well well, you've passed my trial. I am proud to announce that you have proven yourself vaguely worthy of being called my employer. I much prefer the company of women, you were just lucky enough to last a few minutes longer than the last prospect...." A look of pure amusement shown on his face as a contract written in Red ink and a pen appeared in his hand, he helped her off of the ground and handed the ancient looking parchment to her. It had only one line.

'I, ___________, give my word that I will take full responsibility for the consequences of my decisions.'

Leaning in uncomfortably close and slipping the pen into her hand, he whispered in her ear with a deathly solemn tone. "Now, I ask of you... Are you my master?"

Having spent the past four hours consuming delicious tacos, at the Taco Party House, the Metal Man stood up and was going to walk out the door, when he realized his exit was blocked by the owner Emmanuel, and a man in a anthropomorphic Taco costume.

"Hey you gotta pay for your Taco's this ain't no charity!" shouted Emmanuel.

"But I don't have any money, plus I'm a Champion, and a senior citizen. That has gotta count for something doesn't it?" said The Metal Man in an innocent tone.

"Hmm well in that case....NO, you still either pay or you fight Jorge!" she shouted to the crazy old man.

"Ummmm who's Jorge?" he asked tilting his head slightly.

"Soy Jorge, el guerrero de Taco y la mascota de Taco casa de Emmanuel Parte. Usted va a pagar por la comida o te mueres!" shouted the burly Taco man

"Hmm well this certainly will be fun, Its time to start the Taco Party." said the Metal Man

Priscilla received the small vacuum sealed jar-and-hose contraption and gave it a scrutinous once over appraisal. "Riiiight...." she said as she placed it into a small storage compartment on her being. Asmodeus simply stared at her now, and Priscilla felt this as a dismissal that she would gladly take. "Very well then. Your task will be done promptly" she said, giving one final salute before turning and leaving the inner sanctum of the mad doll god. The castle seemed to detect her need to leave and as she opened the door, instead of being greeted with the hallway again she was only a few feet away from the still open doors showing the gray scaled land of Bucharest. Stepping forward into the foyer of the castle the architecture seemed to stretch back out to normal proportions, leaving her a thankful distance away from her employer.

Departing down the steps she thought over her mission. To collect a sample of the Lord of Poison. Bringing this info to the forefront of her mind, she manifested a small checklist that appeared in the corner of her vision

OBJECTIVE: Collect Poison Sample
Mission Goals
[]Reach Domain
[]Locate Creator
[]Extract Specimen

Straightforward enough. Though perhaps this was less for a reason and put her through her paces. The Domain she knew of, she actually passed it on her way here. She took another few steps down, and as she did an arc of electricity leaped between the two rods sticking out of her back. She knew the way to go know, and she was mapping the way as she began. The journey would take, conventionally, nearly an entire day, if that sense of time still had meaning here, of walking at her pace. Though thankfully, conventionality wasn't something she had to adhere to at the moment.

There was a light humming as she fired up one of the more advanced pieces of technology installed in her. Plotting trajectory she reached the bottom of the castle steps and looked to the horizon.
Hyper-kinetic Gravity Manipulator Online, Adjusting Yield a mechanical voice softly chimed in her mind. Priscilla afforded herself a grin as she walked, ran, and once gaining enough momentum, leapt.

Springing herself in a lowered gravity bubble carried her quite a distance, and each time she landed her legs obediently launched her again, carrying her at a pace that would be disconcerting to any observer, but was thrilling to her. At this rate, she'll reach the Domain in a fraction of the time it would take a normal person.

...What in the world...? Master...
Hehe~~~ You should stab him in the eye with that pen~~~ He won't see it cooooooming~
Go back to sleep you leech... This doesn't concern you. Ever.
Sehnsucht forced her eyes closed to block the distorted, aggressive voice intruding her thoughts. Glancing down at the pen and parchment with a raised eyebrow, thinking quickly as the pen touched the dotted line.
...If this isn't a trick, this alliance could really work out... That power will go missed...
"Let me clarify, you sneak into my domain, you break into my home, cause me to temporarily get evicted from my body by that...thing, when I regain control you throw an iron maiden on me and humiliate me, and now...you want me to be your master?"

The lithe and smirking figure was kneeling on one knee now."Well I can't let just anyone command me... I need to pass judgment first, and what better judgment than seeing how someone reacts under...." He paused for the word and then grinned as it came to him, ".... Duress. The choice is yours my dear. but every contract has a price." Still kneeling he lowered his head and once his face was out of view his face contorted between that of worry and anxiety.

I can't lose another prospect, or else they'll force me back and try the Restoration again...Under her/Their command, I'll extend my time. I hope I didn't over-do it. This one still hasn't caught on to what I am yet, that's a good sign.

"Duress, now that is one word for it." Sehnsucht muttered under her breath before standing. Opportunity wouldn't knock like this again.
Her now restored, regular teeth gently bit her lip. She noted the sincerity in his voice at the prospect and she put pen to paper.
'I, The Sehnsucht , give my word that I will take full responsibility for the consequences of my decisions.'
It's funny what being desperate can do to your reasoning...

Having finally set his Domain aright, The Endless took a well deserved repose upon his newly-rebuilt throne. He reclined casually, unconcerned for what had happened or what might, patiently awaiting the return of his Champion. Or, I suppose, any more interruptions, The Endless thought as he rubbed one large finger against his temple, the white stone kneading like flesh.

It was then that the knight-Aberration returned, pausing briefly to puzzle over the absence of any guardians for The Endless before continuing forward and falling to one knee before his liege. "My lord," it's reptilian-tongue flickered in-and-out as it's raspy voice echoed through the hall, "I was made aware of a commotion." Once more, it's attention was drawn to the absence of any guardians, it's fiery crest almost glowing with anger, "Are you well?"

"Hm? You still live?" The Endless was unimpressed by his creation's concern, instead surprised that much of anything had survived the toxic blast.

"Yes. I was inspecting the Mortuary when..." it's coarse voice stopped for a moment. "Still alive? What happened?"

"Nothing important." The Endless dismissed the question. "Merely an explosion."

"Explosion?!" it growled, leaping to it's feet, it's grotesque face twisting even further into a rictus snarl. "That intruder! Where did he go?! I'll rip his gleaming guts from his torso and fed them back up his shining..."

"No, Crest," The Endless commanded, "leave him be." Crest calmed, but his snarl remained, buoyed by his rage. Crest was one of a rare elite among The Mindless, an elite that The Endless had oft considered hardly worthy of the insulting description. Crest had proved himself time and again, surviving where others had not, and earning for himself a name, proving that he was far superior to the overwhelming majority of The Endless' forces. There were only ever a handful of them, these cunning, battle-hardened warriors, and their numbers were in constant flux. Even amongst the ranks of these elite Aberrations, Crest was arguably the strongest and smartest and oldest of them all, almost able to harness the power that forged his twisted body for himself.

Much longer, and Crest may prove himself worthy of becoming another one of my "Sons..." The Endless put the thought out of his head. For now. "Rally the Chimera," The Endless instructed Crest, "for, soon, we act." The seasoned beast's terrible snarl transformed into a mockery of a smile, it's rotted, yellowed teeth standing out against the blackened, cracked scales around them. Crest stalked off without a word, ready to oblige. War was something Crest was always ready for.

All the light in the room suddenly died down and a collection of horrendous screams could be heard for just a mere instance as the Contracted Creator's neck began to burn slightly, it felt as if something 'wrong' were being etched into her neck then went down the front a few inches along the chest and slowly snaked down her back ended right at her waist, the back of both hands were also both afflicted the design around the neck that went down in the front slightly was that of a thorned pattern, the design down the back more akin to letters from a long dead language. On the left hand, a white rose, and the right, a black spider lily. Then an inhuman voice called.

[h4]"Oh desperate souls... The two etched in the form of one... You are now bound to death, as you are to life, the Reaper of Red now your guide, down the bend of this river's stigmata. May he serve thee well. Thy markings now a sign of the sins you hath paid for. So long as he is undefeated, no harm may ever reach thy self."[/h4]

The room was now as it was.

That unpleasant tingling over the effected areas made her wince and grimace.
"...I thought that Creators marked their Champions..." Sehnsucht said with an almost growl, looking at her now marked hands, fishing out some silk gloves from the almost shredded dress pockets and placing them on.
Within moments, the destroyed hallways reverted to it's regal design and she took a deep breath, adjusting herself from the pain and shaking her head.

The Metal Man formed a metal folding chair in his hand as he charged at Jorge, he jumped up into the air on spring loaded legs, and swung the chair down at the giant Taco Man. "Why don't you take a seat!" he shouted as he brought his weapon down.

The Taco Man deflected the chair with the back of his arm and ripped it from the old mans grip. "¡Tonto! ¡Usted escogió una lucha con el hombre incorrecto! ¡Usted no gozará de esto pero habrá terminado rápidamente!" He shouted in a swarthy voice as he jumped and delivered a flying elbow drop, then rose to his feet and udjusted his somberro.

The old man, took the full brunt of the elbow drop, but quickly brushed it off and rose to his feet and took off in a dash toward the kitchen, all that could be heard was the shattering of plates and clatter of pans. Emmanuel was justifiably horrified, even more so when the man finally emerged brandishing two cans of whipped cream. He ran right at Jorge, and scream, "I want it with Whipped Cream on it!" as he sprayed the Taco with whipped topping, then turned his fist into a giant Spring loaded boxing glove and decked the Taco right in the face sending him flying.

The Mascot was sent reeling and crashed into the salad bar, splintering the small stand. Suddenly righting himself the Taco Man straightened out his sombrero and smoothed his lettuce moustache. His googly costume eyes aflame with righteous fury. ¿Primero usted entra aquí y come nuestro alimento, después usted insulta a su presentadora no pagando, y ahora usted destruye nuestra barra de ensalada?" He asked, gestating to the splinters he had risen from. "ESTO NO SERÁ TOLERADA. ¡JUSTICIA DEL GUSTO!" He screamed, adopting a fighting stance and rushing at the Metal Man, delivering a large spinning kick aimed at his head.

The powerful kick from the Taco man, caused The Metal Man's head to collapse into liquid metal, and then reform, His new head was perfectly circulur head with a comidicaly large protruding nose, it had a large tight lipped grimace spanning the entirety of his whole face, like a deranged and irrate Pac-Man, it also had a thin mustache. "ME GUSTA!" said The Metal Man as he delivered a well placed kick to Jorge's "Cherry Tomatoes". He shook his head and it reverted back to his normal face.

There was a loud metal clang as the boot connected to the crotch of the Taco Man. Engañe, sus tentativas débiles en el juego sucio traen vergüenza sobre usted y su familia. ¡Soy inmune a sus ataques basados bola!" he says violently, picking up the metal man in both arms and squeezing tight, suddenly, he began to spin the small man around his arms like a master basketball player. He rolled him between the back, around the front, between his shoulders and spun him around his left arm before suddenly spiking him through a nearby wall. For some reason, the owner of the Restaurant began to whistle a jaunty tune that was oddly fitting for these shennagins.

"In case you've not seen, I'm not your run of the mill champion~" He said receiving a lesser, collar like pattern along his neck. "You needed my protection, I'm giving it. Simple as that, oh and as an added bonus, you're now naturally harder to kill, while contracted the already slowed creator aging process is all but nonexistent, you can see what I see and talk to me telepathically, and I can be called to your side from anywhere using those flower markings on your hands." He was obviously grimacing ear to ear."Oh, don't think we've met properly, the names Vermilion, Vermilion Ò̴ą̨́͠҉ţ̕͏h̡͢k͝͝e͏͢͠e̶p̴͏e͝͠r̡̨̛̀͞ "

Taking a few moments to take in the information, she extended her hand and shook his.
"The Sehnsucht. Sehnsucht is fine. I'd tell you my name but...obvious reasons." Trailing off, she removed the hand and turned, gesturing with her hand.
"In return for your service, consider this your home. Although it's obvious what creators and their champions need to be doing..."

"And what a home it is! Buuuut.... Speaking of other Creators, there are a few Domains that are relatively easy to access from here, shall I attack one for you, My Mistress ?" He said gesturing out the window with a lithe hand movement."I'm sure you're familiar with your closest neighbors, take your pick...." He smirked again as he studied her up and down one more time, grinning to himself.

.... Not bad. Not bad at all.

"I've observed them for a while..." Sehnsucht started before being cut off by an irritating thought.
I like the little puppet~ I want to tug the strings and make it fllllly~
She put her hands to her temple and rubbed.
"A-Any way. As you can probably tell, me attacking them head on isn't a good idea, my forces are small, but I was considering which would be best to focus on..."
She took her eyes from the now repaired window and looked to Vermillion.
"...Is something the matter?"

"Nothing at all." He said dismissing the claim with his hand."I'm more than capable of Espionage, or a one manned assault if need be, give the word, and I'll carry out your bidding." He made the harvester reappeared and he spun it back into position. "Death is no slouch, when it comes to fighting the good fight." He said as his yellow eyes gleamed in the midday gloom.
