Background: After his defeat in the last tournament, Nightraid began to feel down and made it his goal in order to get stronger. Also in the last tournament, he came across a Vampony named Author Brainstorm, who took an interest in the young Dragon, even helping him train before going on to round 2. After his defeat, he suggested that Nightraid go and train with his adopted son’s wife, Dream Vania, who was also participating in the tournament and even became the champion. During their training, Dream Vania sensed Nightraid’s sadness and anger swelling inside his heart like a violent storm and takes pity on him. Nightraid asks why she’s doing so, only for her to respond that she can feel what he feels and even admitted that she had her fair share of pain. After their training session has ended, Nightraid proceeds to leave, only to be asked back by Dream Vania. Nightraid complies and he, Dream Vania and her mate, Advent Playwright have a picnic. During the picnic, Dream Vania talks to Advent in private about adopting Nightraid, as Dream Vania feels sorry for him. Advent agrees. The two Ponies then confront Nightraid and tell him the news. Nightraid feels taken back by this act of kindness that he breaks down crying, thanking them. The two Ponies embrace him in a warming hug. After the tournament has ended, the three go onto the top of a mountain proceed to pull out the dark manifestation made from Nightraid’s negative emotions and expelled it to the depths of Tartarus, but at the cost of Nightraid’s powers. After doing so, they all visit Master Wu Kongo, a mentor who taught Advent, Dream Vania and many others combat. Through grueling training with his parents and Wu Kongo, Nightraid learns a new fighting style, all while regaining his powers. Unbeknownst to him, Dream Vania’s Spirit form, Aphrodite, is actually his guardian Angel.
Personality: Nightraid was once nihilistic, pessimistic and harbored a deep hatred of the world due to his troubled past, but after being reformed by his new family, Nightraid’s outlook on life has changed for the better, as he is seen opening up to others and displaying some child-like behavior, often getting interested in things like other children do. Despite this however, he still does possess a somewhat serious demeanor and can be solitary at times, but he can appreciate the positive and silly aspects of Ponies or other creatures. Nightraid is not above killing should the situation call upon it, as he can be quite merciless in battle should his opponent(s) tries to harm him or those he cares about. He also has a habit of being very vindictive, as this is evident as he holds one against the one who beat him in the last tournament. He also has severe anger issues, as he tends to snap into a blind rage should the situation call upon it, other than that, he’s quite calm and reserved. Due to not possessing any fur, Nightraid enjoys the feel of fur or manes against his scales, this is evident as he enjoys laying on or near his mom, dad or grandparents. Lastly, he also has a fear of being unaccepted by the Pony community, as he was shunned in the past and doesn’t want to relive the same traumatic experience.
Abilities
–––––
Demonic transformation: Unlike Nightraid’s previous transformation that was brought upon from his negative emotions, his new transformation is brought upon by his powers alone, which means that upon transforming he doesn’t become more violent, angry or malicious. his new transformation has all the perks of his previous demonic form (increased strength, speed, agility, being able to fly/hover longer & igniting those who grabs onto his body in crimson flames, etc), but it’s weaker as his dark side made it more powerful by injecting dark energy into Nightraid with each passing minute of him being in the form. Despite having this ability, Nightraid tends to only use this transformation only when necessary, as he becomes exhausted after utilizing it.
Demonic Dios Transformation: Nightraid is able to have his demon form ascend to a more powerful version. In this form, Nightraid’s flame based techniques are new replaced with lightning based techniques. His speed, strength, Flight time, attacks & agility are increased 2x of that of his previous transformation. He also cannot access some of his previous powers, but to compensate, his energy based attacks are much larger in size and deal greater damage. The only problem when attaining this form is both time and energy, as when he powers up, he’s vulnerable to attacks from all sides. Like his previous form, he suffers from great exhaustion and body aches after descending back to normal, but the exhaustion and pain are increased. Nightraid tends to avoid this transformation if possible, much like his previous form, only to use it as a last resort.
Wu Kongo’s Fighting Style: Being trained under Wu Kongo & his parents (who were also trained by) Nightraid now utilizes a balance of both offense & defense when in battle, observing his opponent’s movements before making his own, like his mother before him. His fighting style appears to be a mixture of both Taijutsu & Jiu Jitsu.
Flight: Like all dragons who possess wings, Nightraid is capable of flight. However, due to his wings being underdeveloped, he can only fly/hover above the ground roughly 10-12 feet for a span of 4-5 minutes before being grounded from his wings being cramped.
Teleportation: Nightraid is able to teleport in a black mist, however, he can only teleport roughly 5 meters and cannot spam it like Unicorns or Alicorns, as he can only use it once every 5 minutes. Again, unlike Unicorns/Alicorns, He also cannot teleport through solid matter.
Firebreath: Like other Dragons, Nightraid is able to breath streams of flames and launch fireballs, the only difference being is that they’re crimson in color.
Demon arm: Nightraid’s demon arm isn’t only able to slice through tough materials, it is also able to extend roughly 10-15 feet in length with the claw increased in size to grab onto either object and or opponents. He is capable of forming it into a sharp demonic blade and have it unravel into 8 tendrils that can extend and impale targets as well.
Energy attacks: Nightraid is able to fire out red energy blasts & energy waves from out of his hands, causing a explosion upon impact. During his demon transformations, the blasts turn blackish red. Nightraid has to be cautious of how much energy output he uses, as using to much would leave him with a feeling of drained until his energy builds back up.
Dark Vision: Nightraid’s left eye is able to see in darkness, with everything in darkness now having a red overlay.
Regenerative healing factor: Nightraid is able to heal from just about any sort of wound, the amount of time it takes to heal though depends solely on how big the wound is. Small ones heal instantaneously, medium ones heal in 2-4 minutes, and large ones heal in 7-10 minutes. While in his demon forms, the time it takes to heal is slightly faster, but not by much. When he does heal from his wounds, black mist is seen reforming his body. Many believe him to be immortal to this ability, but this is not the case, as his body only heals external wounds rather than internal. Also, his body needs to be in tact in order for this ability to work, so being sliced in half would cause him to die as a result. Lastly, should he be vaporized or have his head damaged (such has being sliced in half, decapitated or severe head trauma) then he would succumb to these and die as well.
Dark Fist: Nightraid’s fist radiates dark energy and delivers a powerful blow on his target(s).
Immune to fire: Like all dragons, Nightraid’s scales are impervious to fire.
