DEATHMASK

Before the masks. Before death. There was only The First. An entity of indeterminate origin whose body is a weapon — every surface capable of producing a mouth with rows of razor teeth. The First devours at range, devours up close, and devours mid-air. No angle is safe. No distance is safe.

A primordial demon warlord whose mastery over gravity warps the battlefield itself. Tenma rips boulders from the earth with bare hands, wreathed in violet aura, and hurls them with bone-crushing force. His punches carry a lethal chance of sending opponents flying across the arena. When his power peaks, Tenma triggers devastating earthquakes — cracking the ground and raining homing rocks that track enemies with relentless precision.

Half drawn in ink, half rendered in pixels — The Editor exists between artistic styles, shifting form every time he takes a hit. Beneath a cracked half-mask and one glowing red eye, he rewrites the rules of combat in real time. His glitch-coated fists corrupt whatever they touch, his energy blade tears through reality's rendering layer, and when fully charged, he overwrites the arena itself — crashing the map into a corrupted, glitching nightmare while dealing flat damage and boosting his own stats to terrifying levels.

Cast out from the Bloodform Legion when his blood mutated from crimson to pure black, Zagreus rebuilt himself from exile — wires threaded through his skin to channel what the clan called a curse. He wears a half-skeleton mask over his lower face, not to hide what he is, but to show it. His black blood doesn't just wound: it withers, rots, and lingers after the hit is over. At 50% HP, the transformation completes — flesh tears away to reveal the truth underneath, and the real Zagreus steps forward.

The Fourth has no name that survived. It ate the people who gave it one. One of twelve primordial entities born before the age of masks, it wandered the known world with a single purpose — hunger. Not hunger for sustenance, but for accumulation. It swallowed cities whole, absorbed their weight, and grew. A fat hulking monster bound in tiny chains across its enormous belly, with a giant tongue and maw in the gut itself — always open, always wet. Its mace-arm can reach you before you see it coming. Its hook arm hits harder than it has any right to. But the belly bite is what finishes the job. Related to The First in ways neither of them would admit.
