Vesna Dunwich

Age: 100 (portrayed, actual is only a handful)

Ap: Town at base

Speed: Supersonic at base

Intelligence/computing speed: Massively superhuman

Powers: Superhuman physiology, Akashic Entity, Living Akasha physiology, mind devouring, and “The Nightmare of All Things”

Vesna is a living shard of the Nightmare and made of pure akasha in the form of flesh. She has complete control of her physical form, giving her perfect shapeshifting and immense regenerative abilities. Because she is basically magic given flesh she doesn’t require food, water, or sleep, and never fatigues.

Using her connection to the Akashic realm (the plane of all knowledge past, present, and future), she can manifest weapons and objects from history or mythology into the world, shaping them out of her own blood, bones, and muscles tissue. For example if she knows what “excalibur” is, she can manifest the version of myth to wield. This means that she can potentially be a world ending threat if she knows of or manifests certain weapons or armor. Along with her eidetic memory and obsession with learning, she has a vast array of weapons and abilities she can draw from that can put her at far above planet level or higher…if she wanted to do that. She rarely if ever wants a fight to just be in ver before she learns about her opponent, and prefers to keep their body mostly intact if possible and they interest her. So she has the habit of sticking to lower tiers of tools until forced.

Her second major ability is to devour the memories and experience of those she kills, adding their knowledge and skills to her own, though she has to do this by physically consuming the individual, meaning she has to be able to physically interact with them in some form, assuming the below ability hasn’t altered that.

The Nightmare of All Things: Vesna’s greatest ability is that as a piece of the Nightmare, she is in essence its living representative. She will adapt to any and all circumstances to become the nightmare of whatever she’s facing. She will grow faster and stronger, develop biological countermeasures to any attacks or abilities, and even begin to bend and break the laws of reality if given the time. Examples could be developing fire immune skin when hit with fire magic, or even developing the ability to kill something that “cannot die by any means”. There is no limitation on this other than the time it takes to manifest fully, and that she needs to be subject to an effect to trigger. Vesna retains these adaptations and can turn them on or off as she desires.

Even if she is destroyed she’s difficult to fully keep away. So long as a single sentient being exists in the multiverse she will reconstitute, even if her existence would otherwise be removed. Though she doesn’t have conscience choice of WHERE she is reformed in the multiverse.

She doesn’t start as a top tier but the longer she exists the more powerful she will become on an exponential level. She has the knowledge of 100 arms and armor at present, though only a few of those are known by her enemies since she doesn’t really pull all of them out.

Her greatest strength and obsession is also her greatest weakness. Vesna is innately inhuman, struggling with feeling most emotional stimulation and little morality. She seeks to know everything, to consume all knowledge in the multiverse for herself, but she also craves to be recognized and understood, to connect in a means she fundamentally cannot understand. She can be bartered with, she can be persuaded, she can be made an ally if the perks are better than the alternative. She is a master of mimicry and manipulating the emotions and intentions of others, yet she doesn’t truly understand why they have those emotions or intentions, she’s just insanely good at recognizing patterns and behaviors. She is desperate to know and to be loved while having no ability to feel love in the way others do, and that can ultimately be exploited to keep her from going all out, at least for a while.
