Origin

A byproduct of the Great War, Karsten was part of an experiment designed to recreate the ancient beasts who went extinct centuries ago. The Seung Federation had only been at war agaisnt the Allied Coalition and the Black Phoenix for two years. However, the

Tensions within the rural areas increased now that Anti-Government activities began to seep within its region. Ranging from unrest to even protest, the Government wanted to avoid political turmoil from foreign nations in regards to its activities with the people. In attempt to

The process of reverting to their original forms. All Dimensional Monsters who possess a human disguise are capable of using this. Ever since Karsten participated in the Great War, he was skilled in using this to orchestrate several incidents within the enemy factions. As an infiltrator and a manipulator, he would transform to eliminate specific targets, or destroy enemy infrastructure to hinder their war efforts. As the enemy began to develop countermeasures, it became apparent just using this power wouldn't be enough to continue with his mission.

Personality

Due to modifications conducted during his birth, he cannot truly express animosity, nor can he harbor any negativity against his prey. Even if he can, it is merely a false gesture to mimic the human emotion. A puppet without the concept of emotion within his heart. This was necessary due to the current losses the Seung Federation were suffering in the Great War.In combat, Karsten is willing to conduct whatever is necessary to win. Even during the Great War, it wasn't uncommon for him to kill civilians if it meant destroying his enemies. He has committed war crimes of his own, and was responsible for the atrocities committed at Ordon when he ordered his unit to kill everyone within the city. From Black Phoenix, to even coalition units. He didn't care the losses so long as it was a victory. He is also one to lead by example, and allowed his subordinates to do as they desired. A reason why they followed him despite his cruelty towards them.Loyalty was something he valued. Even during the later years of the Great War, Karsten believed in the Seung Federation despite the constant losses and destruction of their Dimensional Zones. Any doubts were personally silenced by his doing. His loyalty extended to where he partook in the final defenses of the Federations homeland, and was even the last unit to stay behind to ensure the others could escape. Despite the fact the enemy outnumbered his forces by a significant. It's only then, he realized the betrayal of the Black Phoenix. It's only then, did he realize the empty price paid for his loyalty. What loyalty is it worth, if those who trusted you were killed by a faction that only desired your extinction?That's when awakened to his emotion. The feeling of rage itself.

Following their defeat, his concepts shifted. He also became paranoid and couldn't trust anyone since both the Black Phoenix and humanity began a genocidal hunt against all surviving Dimensional Monsters. He even abandoned his men to ensure they could escape and out of fear he might drive them to their deaths. Entering different worlds, emotions that were empty now filled him. Karsten became mentally unstable whilst he tried to avoid contact from the outside world. The constant hunts left him fatigued and weary of combat. It's only after encountering a certain individual did he finally find a purpose in life. Emotions that were unstable finally settled. Yet, he understood what must be done.

When he joined the Avarian Coalition and reunited with the surviving Dimensional Monsters, even the veterans of the Great War noted his shift in personally. Although he retained his ruthlessness, Karsten is more cautious, even to the extent he is dedicated to the logistical operations for their limited numbers. He even ensures to care for his men, something he didn't display before. He also acts above his age, having become weary of war. He understood the reason why they lost was because of their involvement in the Great War and their militaristic views.Although he cannot truly express the concept of emotions, Karsten has learnt to imitate and even truly attempt to express them. As thanks to a certain individual, he is able to understand the human emotion. It's also displayed how thorough he can be, even knowing when a person is showing deception before him.Despite these changes, he is still prioritizes his duty over personal matters. A puppet that always follow others, yet now he ensures those who hold his strings do not make the same mistakes of the past. For they will inevitably realize the strings will be bitten off by his fangs.

Abilities

Resistance against corrosive attacks.

A unique concept applied to inheritors of Strength. A power bestowed by the 11th Einfallen Lord, it grants tremendous strength to those who seek it. When confronting individuals with strength exceeding the inheritor, while in combat mode, the inheritor will receive a temporary increase in physical capabilities to confront the enemy head on. However, this does not increase their resilience or any non-physical traits. Since the purpose is to overcome the opponent with raw strength, rather than using trickery or tactics to win a battle. This ability will deactivate when the fight ends.

A trait Karsten developed during his later years. A variant of Polymorphism, Karsten can alter parts of his body into that of his beast form. Even the strength that comes with his form is applied, allowing him to conserve his energy while also utilizing the strength of his Forms. The only form he can control is his beast form, thus he cannot apply this method to his hybrid or true form.

Proficient of using his own blood, the black blood all artificial individuals possessed could be altered based on the imagination of the user themselves. A trait only found by those with traces of the Founders' Blood.Karsten had always used it as both an offensive and defense weapon based on the circumstances. By using the dimensional rifts, he can establish traps or use it to store any blood arts he intended to launch without the enemy being able to intercept it.Additionally, this ability can recreate weapons and even be used as threads. Personally, his favorite is mixing his own blood with the Yaroslov blood he carries around him. When both are mixed, not only does it strengthen his blood, but his blood is capable of devouring his enemies. By transformation them into a separate organism, his blood could create an entity of sentience that follows his own orders. The strength varies upon the blood required to create a blood entity.His opponents blood can be used if it was infected prior to the usage of this ability. However, the drawback is that he cannot absorb their blood since it was sacrificed to create a monster. Furthermore, when mixing Yaroslav blood, he cannot replenish his blood from taking his opponents. Meaning he must be aware if he can win without suffering from the toll of utilizing too much of his blood.

Significant resistance to mental attacks. Rather, when confronting stronger prey, or individuals he acknowledges. It places a curse upon the opponent that weakens their physical parameters to match with his own. However, this will deactivate should he undergo Beatification, or when he deactivates the traits itself.

All Dimensional Monsters, artificial or natural born are capable of manipulating this ability to their own usage. This can range from tearing dimensional rifts between different worlds to even using it as an offensive means.Karsten can manipulate this by creating rifts for both combat and transportation. However, lately he's been practicing it upon his claws. Since he knows conventional defenses won't work if he uses Dimensional attacks, he intends to see if he can use certain infuse Dimensional Energy with his own claws, or with any weaponry he uses to bypass certain physical defenses.

Capable of traveling between worlds. This is the reason he could infiltrate various nations without being suspected or caught. Using the rifts as a warp point, so long as it exists and he has access to it. Karsten can essentially travel through these regions.In the event these rifts were discovered, he is capable of destroying them. He cannot use this ability if the enemy is capable of negating any dimensional based skills.

A cultivation method developed by a General of the Seung Federation. In order for to replenish their Dimensional Energy outside of the Dimensional Zones, the Seung Federation developed a breathing technique that allows one to convert Mana into Dimensional Energy.Since Karsten also developed abilities meant to devour non-physical attributes, this technique can also be applied to absorb and convert the energy consumed to replenish his own. Dimensional Energy is tied to ones life after all.

A pretentious immortality that ensures he cannot die of old age or disease. His body can never age, and will always remain in its youth. However, he can still be killed, and remains susceptible to death ailments or other attributes that inflict death upon the opponent.

A common trait found in most Dimensional Beasts. This allows the user to harm opponents of an astral form. Enabling them to harm opponents normally immune to physical attacks. Furthermore, the Fangs of Greed is capable of piercing through even defensive spells or any concepts that embody absolute defense itself.The signature trait of this ability is the act of devouring or absorbing non-physical attributes. Using their own hunger, or to replenish their depleted reserves, the beasts are capable of consuming it and convert it into Dimensional Energy itself. Furthermore, this is the only method the Dimensional Beasts can convert non-physical attacks into elemental skills. By using the Energy Conversion trait, these Beasts can recreate the same attributes the opponent displays before them. The level of this mimicry depends on how familiar the user is with the elemental concept, or the attribute applied by their opponent.A considerable amount of Dimensional Energy is required to activate this trait. Unless the user can provide sufficient energy, the Fangs of Greed will not activate. Attacks that exceed the users capability to absorb it can also inflict internal damage upon the user. Caution is advised, unless the opponent is capable of applying more power than what the user can devour.

A trait found due to the usage of the Fallen Lineage. Those who possess it will have their blood turn black, their physical prowess enhanced. It is also discovered to enhance their senses, possess higher vitality, and their reflexes increased. Due to the nature of this blood, it also makes them irresistible to those who want to covet this power.However, those who partake in its blood. Their fates are grim, and they are fated to die on the battlefield. Those who inherit the founders' blood will never be able to live a peaceful life.

Capable of regenerating or healing fatal injuries from his opponents at an exceptional rate. Even internal damage from destroyed organs, rot, to even ashes, his body will continue to regenerate and heal. And by focusing on certain parts on his body, the injuries themselves can heal within seconds. One reason Dimensional Beasts were considered dangerous in war of attrition due to their insane healing factor.Since he was given the regenerative ability from Astaroth's cells, attacks or concepts meant to nullify healing factors are negated. At best, certain types can slow down his healing factor.Although, it requires his own energy to maintain this ability. Energy that can be obtained within the Dimensional Zones, or from devouring anything from food to even his own opponents. Yet, this ability can be negated should opponent carry an ability or concept that punishes his ability to restore his own vitality.Even without the application of his regeneration, his body is considerably resilient due to his time in the Great War.

The thrill of combat. The desire to combat strong opponents and devour them to obtain strength. The Bloodlust of a Beast is intense. To the extent it can cause intimidation to opponents that are weaker than it.While in this state, Karsten is unable to feel any pain. He becomes consumed by his Bestial desires, and his physical traits are further enhanced. Once his bloodlust is satiated or when he retains his sense of self. The ability itself will automatically cancel on its own.

Immune to time or distortion related skills.

A Dakazan only ability. Whenever the Full Moon arrives, and if he is in his original form: Karsten can create a barrier that envelops his entire body. Lasting for five minutes, all attacks are absorbed into the barrier.Once five minutes have expired, all attacks absorbed by the barrier will then be released into a devastating blast. Damage is amplified based upon the amount of potential damage received.

Immunity to venomous substances, poisonous contents, and all forms of toxins.

A curse Karsten places upon his opponents the moment his blood, or his shadow enters their bloodstream. By corrupting and tampering with their blood, Karsten nullifies his opponents ability to heal and prevent healing magic from being casted upon the enemy.Furthermore, the longer this curse remains active, the opponent will suffer lacerations and have their mana drained and taken by him. Unless the user defeats him or if they are defeated in combat, the curse remains active until either conditions have been fulfilled.

Due to his artificial origin, he was modified to bear no hostility against all opponents. Rather, it is because of this lack of animosity his mind can remain calm under extreme circumstances. This grants him immense resistance against corruption, and mental attacks. Any attempts to anger or awaken his negative emotions are negated due to this ability. After all, a monster built for war cannot be allowed to experience anger or sorrow.After his emotions awakened, this ability has weakened moderately. Regardless, even if he developed emotions. This trait ensures he cannot be blinded by impulse rather than logic.

A special seal placed upon the Avarian Coaliton whenever they venture outside of the Dimensional Zone. Similar to the World Order Restrictions, it prevents Karsten from transforming unless necessary. Furthermore, depending on the region ventured, the restrictions also limit his Physical Capabiliites, and certain traits are sealed unless approved by the Coalition or when necessary.Finally, depending on the concept. He might not be able to use any Dimensional Energy, rendering him no different from any human. All of this is essential for their expansion and attempts to replenish their lost numbers following the Great War.

Immune to any Rot based attacks.

A natural hunter, this trait is activated against opponents of the Hunter Trait, or specialize against Beast type opponents. Often, a hunter must always be reminded of when they become the hunted. While active, all physical parameters are moderately enhanced until the enemy is defeated, or when he is defeated in combat.

Since Dakazan's are dark creatures by nature, they are capable of manipulating the shadows. Karsten is no different, and his was modified for both of his forms.Capable of using the shadows, in a similar manner to puppetry. It is Karsten's main method of attack in regards to an indirect assault. By attaching strings of his shadow upon the victims body, he can manipulate and even control his prey into doing whatever he desires.Aside from controlling his prey, he can use his shadows in a similar manner to other users in both offense and defense maneuvers. Using it to summon various forms of weapons or traps, to even constructing barriers capable of engulfing an entire city.

A rare variant of life force inherited by few. Although artificial due to his existence, those who inherit this trait will be immune to not only the concept of magic, but also immense resistance to Type I and II Dimensional Energy. It also blesses the wielder with a robust build, allowing them to withstand considerable physical damage from opponents even stronger than them.This is one of the reasons why the Dimensional Monsters were priority targets during the Great War. Due to their tremendous power and resistances, many mages fell to their overwhelming immunity and resilience in combat. Relic users or those who've awakened an Accursed Blessing were capable of killing them. Even then, one would struggle due to the nature of these beasts.The significant weakness for Dimensional Monsters is how intertwined it is to their life force. Since using Dimensional Energy in combat actually endangers their own life. They have learnt to develop methods which can produce the same results while also limiting their own. Furthermore, when they are outside of the Dimensional Realms, it becomes difficult to replenish their energy. Limiting their combat to short duration's unless they possess a vast amount of reserves. Should all of their reserves become depleted; they lose all immunity to the concept of magic and suffer significant damage to non-physical attacks. Even Type I and II Dimensional Energy are capable of inflicting considerable damage should that occur. A Dimensional Monster can die if all of their Energy is depleted to zero. Something the enemies exploited whenever a drawn out battle was conducted.The older the Dimensional Beast, the Accumulated Energy will increase. And certain Dimensionals learnt how to manipulate this energy to strengthen their bodies or cast projectiles for ranged combat. Karsten is among those who can utilize both. And he is highly proficient in using this ability. Combining it with Energy Conversion, he can apply the mana around him to minimize his own. A necessity when entering regions where it is difficult to restore their own.

Relics

Azalea

A custom Artificial Relic designed by an associate of the late Seung Federation. Azalea is a violet and black glaive ordained with a crimson emblem of the Einfallen Lord Astaroth. The weapon itself is made from special materials obtained from the Dimensional Zones, alongside the last Hiranyaksha, Huaxu, Hunar and Engeit cores recovered from the Great War. Because of various resources used in the crafting, the weapon possesses a unique concept differing from artificial relics seen by other factions. It is the first relic created by the Dimensionals rather than the ones created by the Black Phoenix.When summoned or called forth by Karsten, the weapons size and weight will vary upon the users current form. However, regardless of the form he takes, the weapon will always carry the same appearance and will adapt based on the user himself. To fully use the relics power, a blood contract is required. In exchange for his blood, Azalea will release a variety of abilities depending on the amount offered. However, since he is just learning the relics potential, he can only partially activate its concepts.When active, the glaive is capable of shifting its form from a scythe, to even a greatsword. Furthermore, the relic can split itself should he desire to dual wield. Although the effects of the relics power is weaker, it enables him to use a variety of weapons to even compact versions for close range and cramped areas difficult for larger weapons to use. In addition to modifying the weapons appearance, Karsten can also offer more of his blood to enhance his physical traits and conduct blood arts of his own. These blood arts can also be manipulated with his energy and affinity to several elements to conduct formations or combo attacks based on his imagination and intuition.It's most frightening ability, is when it is combined with Dakazan's Pride. Rather, by observing his opponents battle style and techniques, he can replicate and use them so long as their arts aren't considered unique due to unusual circumstances. The further he continues to fight, the more he will learn and copy their fighting style. And to solidify his own style, he can modify the copied techniques with his own, essentially deviating from their path. All that matter is achieving results and defeating his opponent. For whoever is still alive is the winner.The weapon is also known to inflict direct damage upon the soul; however, against opponents that have devoured numerous victims, it is when Azalea's effects become stronger. The further accumulation the person carries, the more damage Azalea will inflict based upon a multiplier effect. However, against opponents with no soul, or have yet to consume one, the implications are rendered nullified since it is designed to punish those who've built their strength upon the lives of others rather than their own.Although a prototype, Karsten will inevitably develop his mastery of the relic and unlock the potential left behind by the associate.

W-1 Anti-Tank Lance

In the late years of the Great War, foreign companies were able to reverse-engineer the V17 AT Lance. Wilburt Industries was among view to create its own variant.Compared to its counterpart, the W-1 is exceptionally heavier. Requiring augmented soldiers, or individuals of superhuman feats to use the weapon without harming themselves. And due to the lack of Black Phoenix technology, the shells lacked the signature Hadron Technology infamously used to eliminate armored vehicles.What differs is that if wielded by a Dimensional Beast, the Lance can actually imprint the Dimensional Energy one tends to utilize in combat into its chamber. By applying it into the shell, the Lance is capable of bypassing mana barriers, allowing the shell to not only ignore Black Phoenix vehicles with such shielding, but even piercing the armor due to the shell remaining unaffected by external factors.After the war, the W-1 was phased out for more conventional AT weapons. With some being procured by the Avarian Coalition through the Black Market.

Combat Data

Primarily a close range fighter. Karsten originally specialized in overwhelming his opponent with raw physical strength. In his earlier years, he fought akin to a beast. Not even considering the concept of strategy or tactics. His surprising mobility allowed him to ensure the enemy wouldn't be able to counter, while mixing his own feints and relying instincts to exploit any potential openings. His claws were capable of tearing Graphene with ease. His strength surpassing even those capable of destroying nations. His endurance allowed him to fight months without exhausting himself. An essential trait necessary for the conflicts he partook in. Yet, because of his simple-minded approach it also allowed his moves to become predictable.Following the alliance with the Black Phoenix, Karsten had learnt how to use his own head. Despite retaining his bestial nature when it comes to combat. His combat style had shifted to one that compensated the overall flaws of a Dimensional Monster. Due to their interactions with Demonic soldiers and mages, it became apparent close range combat wouldn't be enough. Even if he is capable of withstanding numerous non-physical attacks. It wouldn't be of use if he cannot reach the enemy at all. Even for an artificial being, his Dimensional Energy is vast. This allows him to conjure a variety of things. Even applying it to his own claws or blades.Using this new style, Karsten would manipulate his energy to create mid range projectiles, even gathering it into an accumulated state so that when he conducts close range combat. He can release the energy into the form of physical attack. It's also during which he learnt to poly-morph his body into that of a human. This made it easier to not only evade AoE attacks, but it meant he can infiltrate within human society and learn about them. It allowed him to understand human nature, and learnt how to use their tactics against other races. This sudden development in intelligence also allowed him to gain insights about their data on his kin.He is also a competent officer. Although he disregards his units during the Great War. He also learnt when to avoid battles that couldn't be won, used any terrain and knowledge of the local environment to his advantage. And helped construct a command structure similar to human armies. Integrating his combat style with this knowledge, it enabled his forces to win some battles, and even helped in the subjugation of the Halchor-Class dragons. After the Great War and becoming a high-ranking officer in the Avarian Coaliton, he has studied a considerable amount of the regions he's ventured. Being part of a reconnaissance unit, and leading a small company of elite soldiers. With the purpose of minimizing casualties while also expanding to their original state.Despite this, he is still a beast by nature. And often can succumb to base instincts he held in the past. Beasts like him are also susceptible to flames. As it can hamper his regenerative prowess. Finally, due to monsters aging faster than normal humans. He has long since past his prime. Yet, he can still grow as he is unable to age anymore. He may be slower and slightly weaker than his prime self. He still retains the feared strength that gave him his title to begin with.

Beastification

An ability found in high-ranking or highly-skilled Dimensionals. Poly-morphing into humans, they are able to blend within society without revealing their true selves to others. However, when there is no option left. The Dimensional Monsters revert to their original forms. During which, their true combat capabilities are revealed. It was also one of the reasons they were feared despite their small numbers. And a reason they were hunted into extinction after the Great War. Depending on their species, a dimensional is capable of taking various forms for different combat scenarios. Yet, at the end of the day. All Monsters revert to their original form. And often, they are capable of evolving into stronger sub-species. Karsten himself is considered part of the Dakazan and Glabolas Lineage. Ancient Beasts who went extinct during the civil war. And is currently at the rank of Kyrios Praetor, the second to last evolutionary trait of his artificial existence.

Beast Form

True Form

Hybrid Form

The original form when he as merely a Beast. When reverting back to this form, Karsten is capable of increasing his size, or shrinking himself within the range he desires. This does not affect his strength, but it can affect his mobility and endurance. The bigger he is, the more resilient he becomes. Yet, becoming smaller increases his speed and reflexes. This state also bestows him with the ability to use Elemental Conversion. A rare trait that allows for a Dimensional to convert his own Energy into an elemental attack. His affinity being limited to Earth, Lightning, and Ironically, the his own elemental weakness of fire.When he is close to shifting forms, his body will suddenly engulf itself in flames. Shedding himself into a hybrid form. While the process occurs, he loses his own sanity and reverts to his primal instincts. His own physical capabilities are enhanced, and his resistance to physical attacks are further increased.

A hybrid form that applies his human and beast form. Taking on the genetics of the Glabolas, he retains the Elemental Conversion trait of his Beast Form. However, he is now able to wield Wind, Water, Ice, Dark, and Gravity. Yet, in this state, his own physical prowess is further amplified. Even the common weakness of fire is eliminated while in this state. Focusing more as a master of none, he is capable of creating mountains with the Earth itself. Create Storms with fiery twisters capable of incinerating the very earth. He can even manipulate Gravity to the extent it can applied with his own Dimensional Energy.This form prioritizes flexibility rather than rely on brute strength. However, it requires a considerable amount of Dimensional Energy to maintain this form. Furthermore, he cannot use the technique developed to replenish his own energy, nor can be absorb mana and convert it into Dimensional Energy. A high risk, high reward, as this is a form meant to use elemental attacks that he normally wouldn't be able to use as a Beast, or his true form.

His true form. Rather, the form of the 11th Inheritor when he became a candidate for the Einfallen Lords Eleventh Seat. Several conditions must be met for him to transform into this form. His artificial relic must be revealed, he must expend every last drop of his Dimensional Energy to the extent his life force is at its limit. Finally, he must uphold a precept that was held by the old order. Becoming a blade that strikes all who oppose their will. Only when these conditions are met can he revert to his true form.Reminiscent of the old order. The ancient beasts were once knights who swore an oath to become the blade to protect the Dimensionals and their world from those who dare to destroy it. The Dakazan were the progenitors of the beasts. Their invovlement allowed the foundation of the Seung Federation to be established. Sadly, as the amount of Dimensionals increased. The activities they participated were beyond what they could handle. This resulted in their decline, and after a civil war. All Dakazans were extinct with only descendants who carried their lineage remained.The appearance Morgan takes is that of a knight. Carrying a fragment of a primordial relic used by the Founder. The blade itself inherits the concept of death. Rather, the
