Demiurge Character in Villain Academy | World Anvil

Demiurge

Demiurge is a case of a person that could have become a splendid heroes - but didn't. What was once a clear Top Hero material ended up becoming an independent supervillain and - soon after that - a dragon to one of the most dangerous supervillains of this day and age. All of that due to a number of relatively minor things that culminated in one major one - resulting in a disaster.   Demiurge achieved much greater infamy due to her participation in the Liberation Festival attack by the Villain Alliance of America, a side-effect of being Revenant's former classmate. Prior to it her name was basically unknown - although not because of her being unimportant but because of her being THIS good when hiding form the law was involved.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Tall, with face that's consistently referred to as 'gorgeous' and/or 'beautiful', and a hourglass figure that she further accentuates with her clothes. She is reasonably trained in terms of physique, but it's mostly for self-defense - she knows that she can't match-up to dedicated combatants, but also that knowing how to fight will expand on her options if she's ever cornered.

Special abilities

Her individuality is called Creation. It allows her to instantly (or, in case of bigger objects, semi-instantly) create physical objects out of thin air. The only limitations are her own stamina - each activation of Creation exhausts her slightly, both mentally and physically. However at this point she's capable of creating an immense amount of things for as long as she eats a lot of meals in the meantime to replenish lost calories.   She can spawn said objects either from her body (which destroys her clothes if they are in the way, but can be used to conjure protective equipment for herself) or right next to her. This results in a killing zone counted in about one meter around her body, where she is capable of killing people instantly by 'conjuring' for example a spear coming through her body or a grenade about to explode in their stomach.   However the degree of conscious thoughts this requires make it impractical about trained combatants, unless they are utterly surprised by it (so, if they for example do not whom they are fighting).   She can only conjure things that she could otherwise create with right materials and time. In short, to create a grenade she needs to consciously visualize the entire creation process of said grenade, all the way up from the raw materials. This means that she is uncapable of creating complicated things mid-combat, limiting her to more basic things (such as shields, blades and so on).   She is, however, utterly unmatched as a living material printer and an unofficial goddess of logistics, allowing her to create a vast amount of hard-to-get (or illegal) things at a price of some burgers.

Apparel & Accessories

Expect her to wear high heels, a long black stockings and a generously cut dress (typically black too) for most of the time. Her heels can instantly detract to change themselves into a normal flats for ease of movement. She can instantly replace said clothes with a something reasonably more bulletproof at a moment's notice thanks to her individuality.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Demiurge was born one of the younger children to an extremely wealthy family, one whose financial portfolio included several major American corporations and even Stellar Mining & Processing Ltd., one of several companies from the United States responsible for exploiting the asteroid belt of the Solar System. The result of that was her extremely privileged childhood, one where a highest quality education occured alongside for a growing struggle over the eventual inheritance.   The result was Demiurge becoming increasingly alienated and developing trust issues. In a way, that was a strike one on her way to eventual defection.   When her individuality manifested, she ended up deciding that becoming a superhero on the side might empower both her and her family, especially if she succeeded in becoming a state hero - that's despite her individuality being one of the more tricky to use. She enrolled into a fairly prestigious hero school and became a classmate of Revenant, among several other people.   Things we distinctly pear-shaped following Archvile's assault on the school, and subsequent expulsion of Revenant, her one and only intellectual equal within the school. She no longer had someone on her level to interact with, a fact that began to breed overt pride - the school continued to vaunt her skills, resulting in Demiurge slowly losing her ability to deal with 'negativity' towards herself, as she was habituated into being treated as an untouchable queen.   Her romantic relationship with Amplitude didn't change a lot on that field.   As a result, when Amplitude was arrested - over false changes of murdering her family - Demiurge shattered. Partially, at first - losing the second person that she genuinely and closely connected to did that to her. Totally, later on - when she began to hear the accusative whispers towards herself. Suggesting that she knew what Amplitude was planning. That it was her plan all along. And if it wasn't, then she wasn't even nearly as good as people treated her as, since she missed something as big.   She lost her ability to deal with negativity targeting her a long time ago, as stated earlier.   It is unknown for how long was she planning her eventual defection. She ended up graduating from her school, only to immediately return to her household and begin to weave a web of lies. A part of it was taking over the Stellar Mining @Processing Ltd., which was done so secretly and masterfully that to this day even her own family didn't realize that it was sold to Demiurge's fake identity.   All of that while using her individuality to steadily expand her position on the black market under a false identity of Counterfeit, expanding her understanding of the generally understood underworld in the process. She has at some point decided to reignite her contacts with Clockmaker, resulting in the two teaming-up and Demiurge joining the Halworth Industries. She has also participated in the Liberation Festival attack, which ended up with Amplitude being rescued and rejoining her girlfriend, which is suspected to be the Demiurge's price for helping persuade Clockmaker to join the Villain Alliance.

Mental Trauma

Losing Amplitude was one to her, resulting in Demiurge dealing very badly with loss. But what really hits her hard is being looked down upon and whispered about negatively behind her back. She reacts badly to gossips about her, sometimes to the violent levels.

Intellectual Characteristics

Intelectually brilliant. Academically almost unparalleled - she would have easily became a famed scientists if she really wanted to. Doesn't lack in terms of social skills, being a highly cultured individual coming from a high society.   Years of being Counterfeit has also given her a lot of insight into the underworld, United States black market an evading police attention (something that expanded upon her close understanding of how the heroes operated thanks to her hero school time AND various internships she was on.

Morality & Philosophy

Has lost her interest in following the law entirely. Is unhinged but in the most dangerous way possible - she cares not about the law and appears to enjoy deaths of heroes (that she grew to hate together with the government and police over what happened to Amplitude), but is cold and calculative about that particular hobby of hers.   She doesn't go out to that, but she will deeply enjoy doing that as a part of her job, while staying focused on her objectives.

Personality Characteristics

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Strengths
If the concept of logistics had a dedicated deity, that would be Demiurge. She is capable of producing large amount of equipment on her own, basically at the price of some food - and in a way that's completely untracable by the law. She is also an extremely intelligent tactician and strategist, one of the few true masterminds of modernity. She is also reasonably capable in combat for a support.
 
Weaknesses
Reasonably capable in combat, but will probably lose hopelessly against most of dedicated combatant heroes and villains. Has some unresolved mental issues that can trigger violent outbursts in which she doesn't really control herself or think clearly. Young age makes many villains look down on her, limiting her command ability in the field.
