Alphatale: alternate versions of the characters/My own OCs

Conduit of Decay

Absolute Decay: Decay is able to absolutely decay onto anything whether the target is organic or not, allowing the user to destroy anything, making it crumble into dust. Not even concepts are safe from this power. This power is surprisingly more dangerous than even Death's Absolute Death Manipulation.

Rotting Presence: Inspired by both of his parents, the Conduit of Decay can be omnipresent at anything that has even a slight bit of decay and rot present. Decay happens anywhere and everywhere.

Decomposing World: Decay's Sub-Reality, they can send their victim to a reality where everything is in a state of advanced decomposition, the tres are wilting, the buildings crumbling, and even the bodies are decomposing and have maggots and flies eating the corpses. Upon entering the sub-reality, they will began to have their body rot, first on the inside and their organs, before it affects the outside of their body. However, there does exist an exit, which takes on the form of a trapdoor, but it is hidden and needs to be found, or else the victims inside of the sub-reality will die painfully.

Decay's Vermin: Decay is able to create a swarm of insects, a cluster of spiders, or any groups of vermin and send them out to attack an individual that dares to attack him. They will attack and bite at them, decaying small portions of their body, but their sheer numbers makes it seem like the decay is happening to their body rapidly.

Relationships:

The Conduit of Darkness and the Conduit of Death: The 2 parents of Decay, the Conduit of Decay don't get along with them that much compared to the other Conduits it has met. The Conduit of Death mostly ignored Decay, so Darkness had to take care of them, and because of this, the Conduit of Decay got along with Darkness more then Death, although this positive opinion was shattered when he hears of what he has done to Life, and as such became distant from them. He later developed a positive relationship with Death, who actually began to try and make an effort to be a father for Decay, but Death became distant again with Life died, causing their bond to be estranged again.

The Conduit of Liminality and the Conduit of Purification: Decay's younger half-siblings, they surprisingly get along with the both of them very well, to the point that Decay often hangs out with them and tries to always be there for them whenever he wants to. Even after Death had became cold and distant again due to what happened to Life, their relationship remains the same even when they decided to go their separate ways.

Urien, the Conduit of Extinction: Decay met Urien when they returned to Death, who tells them to come back. Surprisingly, Decay treats Urien in an almost brotherly way, and the relationship still has not changed even when he has grown up.

Conduit of Life: Death's one true love and the mother of Liminality, Life met with Decay, years after he left Death and Darkness. Decay got along with Life and developed a mother and child-like relationship with her. Decay was saddened and distressed at what had happened to her by O'Brien's hands.

O'Brien, the Conduit of Passion: O'Brien and Decay don't get along much due to O'Brien being a bookworm at times and being even more of a loner than Decay, but he still held some respect to O'Brien for the fact that he desires knowledge to an extent. But he lost what little respect he had to O'Brien when he killed Life, now earring Decay's full blown hatred towards him.

Nolan, the Conduit of Ambition: Nolan and Decay's relationships is sort of similar to that of Death and O'Brien's relationship, in which Decay and Nolan were never truly on good terms with each other, although their relationship is slightly better and is professional to an extent. But when O'Brien betrayed the Conduits and Nolan fought against his former friend, Decay surprisingly now held a more positive opinion on him and felt bad for not trying to make a good relationship with them in the first place. Nolan, in return, does get along as well with Decay, since they are genuinely kind, and allowed for them both to be closer to one another.

The Horseman Conduits: the Conduits of War, Conquest, and Famine, Decay gets along with the 3 'brothers' of Death and treats them with kindness and respect, with the others having the same mutual feelings as Decay. As such, Decay often spars with them whenever they hehe the chance. Their relationship remains the same even after Life died and O'Brien's betrayal.

Prism: The Forbidden Conduit of Disorder, Decay met him during his journey around the Edensphere, and surprisingly, they were able to get along to an extent despite him being a Forbidden Conduit, even Decay was surprised that he can get along with him despite being a Forbidden Conduit. Unfortunately, Death knows of this and Decay was forced to stop meeting him. They only decided to meet with Prism again when Life died, especially since they can hang out with Merus.

Forbidden Conduit of Corruption: Decay's half-siblings, Decay outright hates his younger brother due to how dangerous he is, considering him to be an embarrassment that his father has made. As such, along with Purification and War, he makes it his personal goal to try and kill his younger brother in order to take him down. Corruption, in return, despises Decay and tries to kill him, but as Decay as just as consistent and occurring as Death, Decay can never truly be rid of, much to Corruption's ire.

Muse, the Forbidden Conduit of Music: Decay met Muse during one of her concerts and are able to get along to an extent, with Decay even admitting of liking her music, which amused Muse a bit.

Himmsworth: Himmsworth is already aware of Decay and how it was born, and they only met when Merus led Decay to him. They were both able to respect each other for their personalities of wisdom and knowledge, even engaging in what seems to be philosophical conversations.

Merus: The Bio-Conduit of Pre-Eminence, Decay met Merus during his walk around the Citadel. They recognized that he is a Conduit and revealed his own Conduit as well. Although Merus was a bit unsure if he can trust Decay due to them being a Conduit, since Death has targeted him without their knowledge. Decay, however, proved that it is unlike his father and Merus got along with them, and even kept their meetings a secret from Death, who is unaware of them meeting together.

Notes:

Decay, unlike their parent, Darkness, likes pie, and unlike Darkness, hates pranks.

Decay rarely eats food, mainly because he thinks he could decay with mg touching them.

Decay is one of the oldest naturally borns Conduits, since it was born from the first 2 Conduits.

Decay is the eldest is their half-siblings, surpassing even Liminality in terms of age. But surprisingly, Liminality is stronger than Decay.
