[Mephitis - Gas Form]

A full reference piece for one of my second-generation celestial characters, Mephitis, in his gas form!   (he is part of the lovely and wonderful group,  !!!)

Each of Mephitis's various forms have their own unique appearance matched with their own different personalities 
While the gas form of Mephitis has a cunning and a subtly cruel personality, his solid form has a more brutal, hard, and ill-tempered personality and his liquid form has an uncomfortably affectionate, fawning, and likable personality  His plasma form has a rather eccentric and odd personality, always filled with restless energy 
Mephitis "morphs" into these different forms depending on how his feeling/mood shifts and/or depending on what he thinks is the best personality for that certain situation. At times, he can control it and/or the four all conflict with one another and/or they switch back and forth uncontrollably until one settles down with dominance 
Although they are each different, they can never separate into individual forms. They must take turns or somehow balance who gets to be dominant and such  But, they all have connected thoughts and can finish each other's sentences and continue on from one thought to another even through different forms  

So, let me begin with the bio of his plasma form!   (each bio for each form will be different for Mephitis since he has various personalities, powers, and appearances! ) 

And as always, anything new is marked with a ""!  Enjoy! 

Name: Mephitis (Pronounced [muh – fahy – tis])

Symbol: N/A

A.K.A: Phitis

Position: His planet is located somewhere in the (made-up) Miasma Nebula (Or also known as the (made-up) “Fetor Clouds"), which is found circling around the (made-up) Eden Constellation. But it has been said that his planet has the ability to teleport to different parts of the nebula depending on Mephitis's will.

Mephitis’s four forms also allowed the formation of his planet and his Miasma Nebula (Fetor Clouds). While the gas form of Mephitis created the Fetor Clouds (the black ring of poisonous interstellar clouds that circles around the (made-up) Eden Constellation) as well as the poisonous atmosphere of his planet, the solid form created land on his planet. The liquid form filled any extra spaces of the planet with its fluid (which serves as like the ocean), and the plasma form helps the planet teleport to different parts of the nebula.

Height: [Cannot be determined due to his various forms]

Weight:  [Cannot be determined due to his various forms]

Gender:  [Not certain, but referred to as a male]

Eye Color: Eye existence is not certain, but is marked by an eerily glowing green light source.

Hair Color: [Hair existence cannot be identified]

Personality Traits [for his gas form]:  Mephitis presents himself like a gentleman, but he is actually a greedy and selfish *sshole who always has a backup plan only for himself. He sneakily includes rude words into his remarks, and is not sorry about it. Mephitis is never sorry about anything he does or says, and is sly with his words. He is manipulative and a great liar, often offering interesting baits or presenting deals to get with his ways.

He is also very, very sarcastic and is a big hypocrite; he effectively uses his voice and words to appear like he gives genuine sympathy when in reality, it’s just his way of showing his mockery and sarcastic nature. He finds entertainment in mocking others, and doesn’t really care for how others feel. He just likes seeing people take his bait and then realize their stupidity later on. Mephitis also claims that other people are greedy and that they are bad, when in reality, he HIMSELF is an extremely greedy individual.

Mephitis is also very blunt; what he sees, he says truthfully, and in this sense, he is not the most compassionate nor thoughtful individual. When Mephitis says cruel things, usually it’s not a lie. When he compliments, it’s a big lie.

However, Mephitis is really wise; living for so long, Mephitis has seen many things, which is why he can sometimes be pessimistic and negative. He knows much, but prefers to let others suffer their own fate rather than him telling them, for Mephitis has the ability to see what’s going to happen next.

His body structure: Mephitis can take on four forms or state of matter, including a liquid form, solid form, gas form, and a plasma form. They each have unique properties and uses, and have their own base powers and personalities accompanied to their differing appearances.

Guardian/ Moons/Satellites: [None sighted so far…Mephitis is a (made-up) planet that is terrestrial; it also consists of poisonous gas/atmosphere, and the liquid source there is also very toxic. Even the land is toxic to the touch. Everything in Mephitis’s planet is poisonous and dangerous. But Mephitis does not only own a planet, but also owns the Miasma Nebula, which acts like a barrier between the beautiful Eden constellation and the dangerous outside space.]

Base Power: Mephitis has the ability to morph into four states of matter, but in addition to that, he can also create immortal alien slaves in which he orders around to hunt down victims who have stumbled into his nebula. These alien “pets” cannot be killed so long as Mephitis lives and they will keep regenerating after being temporarily slain until their task is completed. These slaves also thrive on his planet, so even if one managed to get into his planet, they will probably be killed.

Mephitis can also create “clones” of himself; this is because since his nebula is so vast, there are many visitors coming from all around. For this, Mephitis evolved an ability to make clones in order to eliminate every visitor coming in into different parts of his nebula. Each clone works independently, but they all have his original personalities and always fulfills their task of eliminating outside intruders. This ability to create a lot of clones also distracts his enemies during battles.

-Solid form: Mephitis resorts to his solid form when dealing with something that needs to be beaten with brutal and heavy force. His body can form into extremely hard and durable structure that can withstand great blows and offenses. With this form, Mephitis can smash his way into anything, and cause a great deal of damage with his weight and hardness. With his solid form, Mephitis can absorb power from the terrestrial portion of his planet. This solid form is great for his offense.

-Liquid form: Mephitis resorts to his liquid form when battling in tight spaces. In this form, he can maneuver his way into tight cracks and spaces and can reach to his opponents no matter where they are. The only downside to this ability is that he can only maneuver for a limited distance, since his “suit” cannot fit into tiny cracks and spaces.

He can also saturate the ground to make it toxic to stand and fight on, and he also uses this form to drown his victims, or melt them in his acidic liquid form. With his liquid form, Mephitis can absorb power from the liquid portion of his planet and also create acidic rain and acidic storms. This liquid form is great for his speed, which allows him to evade the opponents attack with his smooth transitions and movements.

-Gas form: Mephitis resorts to his gas form most of the time. It gives him the ability to hover/fly and prevents his enemies from damaging him as his enemies can only pass right through his gas form. By dispersing himself, Mephitis can kill his enemies with his toxic gas, and even melt them with his acidic mists. With his gas form, Mephitis can absorb power from the toxic gas in his planet and from his toxic atmosphere. This gas form is great for his defense.

While his gas form can prove to be a good defense, the downside to this form is that his suit cannot disperse into particles of gas like the rest of his body can. Therefore, to fully evade an opponent’s attack, the gas Mephitis must also make sure to move his suit out of danger. Additionally, while the gas form can disperse itself into poisonous mists that can flow into the smallest cracks and crevices, he can only go so far before he has to return to his suit, as leaving the suit behind (since the suit cannot fit into tiny cracks and spaces) can leave him vulnerable in some way.

Mephitis can also spin the lower portion of his body to create a “circular saw-like” effect in order to slice his foes at high speed. This is an interesting ability of his because although he is in his gas form, for this particular ability, he can harden his lower body to create a “circular saw-like” effect. How he came to learn this ability is unknown. During this ability is the only time Mephitis’s gas is sharp (where the green areas are).

The gas form of Mephitis is known for its poisonous effects. The bright green areas serves as a warning of the potent venom he carries within the particles of his gas/air. Upon contact with the green gas, inflammation can form in the skin, which leads to large blisters that eventually fill with puss, body fluid, and blood. These blisters can grow in all shapes and sizes, but they continue to grow until the victim suffocates and can no longer breathe with so many blisters around their body and face. Rupturing of these blisters can also lead to large blood loss and body fluid loss. The black gas (which makes up Mephitis body and the gas that surrounds him) does not cause these symptoms, but can make victims cough excessively if exposed to too much of it. This excessive coughing eventually leads victims to cough out blood since the black gas, which is composed of fine, but sharp black particles, can scratch and cut the throat as victims cough repeatedly.

The green specks that surrounds Mephitis also has acidic properties, which slightly melts things it comes in contact with. When exposed to just one speck, it does not do much damage…it provides a similar sensation to a light sting. But when exposed to many, it can eat away at the skin and cause small blisters to form (which can grow into bigger blisters if untreated).

-Plasma form: Mephitis resorts to his plasma form when wanting to decrease the movements of his opponents. In other words, he uses this plasma electrical ability to stun enemies for a while, and then shock them to death with thunder, lightning, and other electrical methods. His plasma form is also used to provide him light source (like those of neon signs). Plasma is the most abundant state of matter in space, so this ability of his relies on the infinite source of plasma from outer space (and he collects this energy by extending his electrical currents outwards all around him). This plasma form is great for weakening his opponent’s conditions.

Closest Companions: Mephitis has no closest companion(s); his awful personality and his refusal to reveal himself to others has lost him the opportunity to make friends, but he doesn't really care if he has one or not. All he cares about in the end is himself, that no one passes through his Miasma Nebula, and about his Eden Constellation.

Hatred: The gas form doesn't like, but doesn't hate anybody either. He's equally cruel to everyone.

Mephitis’s Background: Not much of Mephitis’s personal background is known as no one really knows about him, but everyone who knows the rumors of the Eden Constellation also knows very well of the rumors of the Miasma Nebula.

The Miasma Nebula is a nebula owned by Mephitis and no one else. It acts as an extremely thick circular barrier, created by Mephitis, between the dangerous outside space and the supposedly perfect Eden Constellation. Rumors say that the Eden Constellation is a beautiful place filled with luscious food, gorgeous sceneries, and abundant riches...gold, and jewelry of all kinds. It creates the perfect living conditions for planets and stars, and is essentially, a perfect paradise for any Celestial bodies. People are always attracted to the dream-like place, but no one has passed the Miasma Nebula to see the rumored constellation.

The Miasma Nebula is a black mass of expansive and large interstellar clouds in which nothing can be seen beyond due to its inky darkness. All the lights of the stars disappear, and one won’t be able to even see his/her hands up in their faces in that darkness.

Though the existence of the Miasma Nebula is well-known, no one knows that it is own by Mephitis as those who happen to stumble/venture into the nebula never survives to come back and share the tale. They are mostly eaten and killed by Mephitis’s alien slaves, dies from the toxic gas if not prepared well, or dies in starvation and thirst from being lost in the seemingly eternal darkness. These bodies are never to be found for they eventually melt and perish in the toxic interstellar clouds/gases. But people who passed by around the Miasma Nebula claims that they can hear despairing pleads and horrifying screams from within inside the black clouds…created by unfortunate victims being killed or being lost. For this, the Miasma Nebula also earned the title, “The Black Trap”.

Meanwhile, with all of these deaths going on, Mephitis, himself, never really shows himself to others as his slaves usually fulfill the killing job for him. And because Mephitis always effectively eliminates incoming visitors into his nebula, he also claims the Eden Constellation as his and all of its supposed riches and beauties to himself.

It is because of his selfish nature that Mephitis always kills any visitors wanting to see and visit the Eden Constellation. He claims that it is, “HIS”, and no one else’s…that its beauty is too delicate and precious to be “infected by greedy and curious hands of outside intruders”…even though he is greedy himself.
