What are Darkbeasts? Well, Darkbeasts are a non-corporial, extra-dimensional essence in their original form. They manifest through extreme negative emotions, in a simular way to how Negadroid's power source works, they are sustained by feeding on the worst of humanity, be it rage, hatred, depression, greed. This normally wouldn't be much of a problem, dimensional traversal by non-corporial beings are incredibly rare and most Darkbeasts are too weak to do so. However, some do develop the ability to break this barrier. If they do, they will immediately head for the nearest source of strong negative emotion and attempt to latch on to it. The Darkbeast will then try to form its own corporial body using this new host. Most often this host will be human, though it has been noted (and more commonly as a successful transformation) in other higher intelligence animals such as dogs, cats and monkeys. Depending on their current mental state, a human may be able to repel a Darkbeast (which may explain the higher conversion rate for non-sentient animals), however some may not. Even then, it is very very rare for a human to be fully transformed in a permenant fashion, some may only transform on a trigger or when experiancing strong negative emotions. Then we have the strang case of Alexandria Lloyd (Lexi to her friends). Lexi was attacked by an emergant Darkbeast after she had just lost both her parents in a car accident. Unable to fight back against the parasite, she was fused and became a Darkbeast host. As usual, she was able to regain control of her body, but what was unusual was that the Darkbeast was also able to trigger transformations without needing an emotional opening, able to manifest without warning at any time. Whilst, admittedly, this has come in useful on rare occasions (the Darkbeast is intimidating and dangerous, not a creature that even the most foolhardy mugger would dare tangle with), the Darkbeast also still requires negative emotions to sustain its self and very quickly figured out that the easiest food source was fear, which it could get just by transforming in a crowded public space. As one might guess, this has made Lexi's life somewhat difficult.

Just gonna leave this one here 😉

(Original Character by Jeimuzu)

While some superheroes frequently go on interstellar space adventures, some are much more concerned with matters at a street level. Defender is one of the latter, protecting his neighbourhood from thugs and criminals.

Most people think Defender is just a skilled fighter and battle tactician but he actually has low-level precognitive abilities, allowing him to see a few seconds into the future. Before an opponent has even thought about using a move, Defender has seen it and developed a counter.

Megumi Kuromoto

Megumi is part of the last generation of Daisuke's line to be cursed. Being so far removed from the original curse, it is unlikely she will eventually become a full Oni, but she is still cursed. Whenever she feels strong negative emotions she transforms into a large, red skinned, horned demon man that can only think of violence and pain. She's tried yoga, meditation, hypnosis, anything to keep her emotions in check, but the Oni always finds his way out.

This is Origin, a young girl experimented on with cybernetic augmentation, but they made her too powerful, and she's more machine than man now.

Thank you sir.

Here's a gif of the Barbarian process:

And the final image:

Before the voice’s speaker could be seen by human eyes, Analisse pounced with a ferocity that surprised Angelalea. Her face broke into a grin when she saw what was happening. The fighter had launched herself at Da’Maj but instead of knocking her off her feet, she found herself in a muscly hug. Angelalea’s smile was nothing compared to Analisse’s which almost out-stretched her face. “Keep trying, little one, maybe you’ll get me one day,” whispered Da’Maj after kissing her cheek.

The half-orc barbarian had raised Analisse since birth after being rejected by her elvish family. She taught Analisse to fight skillfully and love fully. Da’Maj pulled Angelalea and squeezed tightly with her free arm. “I think you are denting my armor,” Angelalea strained. Ever since saving Analisse’s life, Da’Maj treated her like a daughter.

“It’s so good to see my girls…oh, and Lee’lu sends his love,” said Da’Maj as she released them. Angelalea asked, “Your husband is not joining our adventure?” “No, he has too many students this season, so he sent his best one. Lee has never come across a more dedicated and skilled pupil, so please treat her as one of the family.”
