Story:

ed, for as long as there has been life Solutum has existed. To simplify it Solutum was 'born' at the same all of existence was created. In the beginning Solutum was like everything else that existed fresh, pure, young, and naive. Living outside of all existence, in the void where there was nothing all Solutum could do was watch with curiosity. In his 'youth' Solutum looked upon all of existence with the utmost interest, like a child studying the world around them amazed by the simplest thing. The power, it is something Solutum has always had but in his youth all he could do with it were parlor tricks, simple things but they weren't even the tip of the ice berg he could do so much more. One something puzzled him, even to this day he has no answer for it. Why was he the only being that existed outside of everything? Solutum was a god without a universe, a king without a kingdom. Even with all of the power he had Solutum could not make life outside of existence, for nothing was meant to exist within nonexistence yet he did.

Able to see all of existence yet you couldn't be a part of any of it, maddening to say the least. Solutum grew envious of the lives he could never live, the joys he could never experience and the gods who had dominion over these wonderful universi. Through this envy Solutum unlocked his full power, the power beyond that of any god. Solutum was ecstatic, he had power before but now? He could do anything! Solutum invaded the first universe he came across, taking the guise of an innocent teenage girl to enjoy all life had to offer. It was the most amazing thing ever the experience of life was something Solutum had never had before. Friends, food, music, all concepts he knew to the greatest detail yet he had never experienced. This was what he truly wanted, a life of his own, a universe of his own. Solutum's life was perfect until he experienced the pain that life can bring, on a breezy summer day Solutum witnessed the murder of his friends a ruthless slaughter brought on by a radical group trying to make a point. Devastated his power went out of control, he wanted to purge all evil from this universe! The god could do nothing to stop Solutum, his power like that of a child compared to his own. The universe was ripped asunder, completely destroyed due to Solutum's sadness.

With his effort to halt evil Solutum had snuffed the flame of a universe with his own hands he had brought death and destruction to countless innocent lives. Solutum fell deep into depression and again the questions arose, why did he exist and yet was unfit to exist anywhere else? To ensure nothing like this ever happened again Solutum put restraints on himself, whenever he entered a universe he would never be able to unleash his full power only what he needed. For countless millennium Solutum studied the infinite universi and used the knowledge to better himself, to become a truly good person. Living with the burden of knowing your sins proved difficult, for so long Solutum wanted to die to cease his meaningless existence. But Solutum would find solace in his knowledge and studying, of how he could change things for the better. Solutum would jump from universe to universe making new friends and making sure nothing would come to harm the universe, he had become a protector of all existence. Still his home was beyond existence, he was the black sheep to remain watching ever vigilant and a friend to all. This was perfect for Solutum for he now finally knew his purpose for being the one being outside of all existence, to be the one who watches and protects when need be. Now Solutum looks to make new friends and experience the endless wonder of the existence around him, to fight for fun and look to a bright new future. [/spoiler]

Physiolog/Appearancey:
Spoiler (Click to Show)
a human male, due to it being the form he is most familiar with. Standing at a daunting 6'8 he towers above most people he meets and has a weight of 200lbs making him seem relatively skinny for his height. Solutum's physical features are most peculiar, to say the least. The shaggy hair atop his head which reaches just past his shoulders is two tones of completely opposite color or two tones of colors that go beautifully together, it is always changing. One day it is the fiery orange of a setting sun speckled with the deep blue of the ocean, the next it is the black of a moonless night flecked with toxic green. Though he can keep it a single color if he so desires. This hair always covers one of his eyes though mostly it will be over his left. Beneath his armor Solutum wears a baggy black long sleeved shirt and long baggy black pants, very plain no pockets or anything and for shoes he wears worn black leather boots.

Skin pale as the fresh snow of winter adorns the form of flesh Solutum has chosen. Beneath this skin runs the blood of ichor, a substance poisonous to all mortal beings and colored a deathly green tinted black. Hidden on his back is a scar that runs from his left shoulder to his right side, within the scar it is as though someone took a precision knife and engraved various designs in the grey flesh. These designs range from elegant swirls and shapes to complex scenery and beings, quite odd for such things to be in a scar, Solutum will not speak of how he got this scar. Solutum's smile is seldom seen but when it is you will see a mouth full of serrated teeth, crimson as blood and sharp as any blade. The most striking thing of Solutum are his eyes, the eyes that see all with pupils in the shape of a star. These eyes have no definitive color, their color is determined by another's perception. Solutum's eyes will reflect the color of how another sees Solutum or how they see themselves, it is all perceptual ranging from a dark red for a hated enemy either him or yourself to a radiating blue revealing friendship and depth. [/spoiler]

Weapon/Armor:
Gemini Finis-

of existence giving them an infinite atomic structure. This allows Solutum to change the daggers into whatever element or material he desires, even allowing him to create new elements and materials at will. Though he cannot change their shape which is unique in that the blades were forged with two smaller blades on each edge of their blade which are pointed towards the wielder and lie two inches from the tip of the dagger. This makes the daggers versatile in being able to stab, slice, tear, block and parry with ease. The pommels of the daggers are crescent moon shaped with the edges pointing outwards, the blades are a liquid blackseeming to move and shift in the light. [/spoiler]

Arma Stellarum-
Spoiler (Click to Show)
ee long plates of armor tied together overlapping each other on each shoulder with a curved plate to connect them and protect the neck, three segmented chest plates with four wide overlapping plates at the bottom which reach past the crotch, and four long segmented plates on each side which covers the wearer's hip down to the knee. For the gauntlets a single plate of armor protects the back of the hand the wrist and the knuckles, two long plates to protect the fingers with a circular plate on the second knuckle, and a single long plate to protect the forearm with a curved end to protect the elbow. The final pieces of the armor are a wide plate that protects the front of the thigh going down to the knee and a long plate protecting the shin down to the foot. This armor is made of the pure essence of existence allowing it to be changed to whatever material Solutum desires though it will maintain a durable composition throughout the process. The armor is colored a deep royal blue. [/spoiler]

Abilities:
Spoiler (Click to Show)
of realities and the vast stores of information within them giving him knowledge beyond that of any being omnipotent or otherwise. Due to his understanding of the countless universi and existences Solutum can manipulate the constants and variables of the very fabric of existence, stronger than any god. What does this entitle you ask? Solutum can manipulate forces either physical or conceptual bringing very ideas into existence and making it so a common place law is obsolete, bring a dream to life? No problem. Reject the laws of gravity? No problem. Does this mean he is an almighty being able to do whatever he pleases? Yes, yes it does. But here is the catch, Solutum can only use alchemy when in a universe. Still it is strong stuff able to change the very atomic composition of material around him allowing Solutum to use his knowledge to various effects such as illusions made of the water vapor in the air or pillars of earth rising to defend from attack. With his ability to perceive all variations of existence Solutum can determine the basic details of a person such as most of their life up until now or say their favorite color only through battle can he learn their weaknesses and deeper being such as emotional scars and the like.

To travel across all of these dimensions Solutum has developed an inter-dimensional form of alchemy allowing him to create portals between every dimension though this can only be done outside of battle, this allows Solutum to return to the crossroads of existence where he was 'born'. Solutum will often open these portals with his daggers. Even in a human form Solutum is considerably durable able to withstand intense pain either physical of magical, this is further enhanced by his armor giving Solutum immense endurance. Solutum's fighting style varies when he is using his daggers or body. When using his body Solutum aggressively pursues his opponent aiming strong attacks to the weakest points of the body, always looking to end the fight quickly and cleanly. When using his daggers Solutum fights in a defensive counter attack style aiming to use his enemy's strength against them keeping light on his feet and hoping to keep some distance from his enemy, Solutum will only use his daggers against opponents who are armed. When blood is drawn ichor will flow from the wound, a substance that when ingested poisons any mortal being. This poison dazes the consumer and dulls their senses for a few moments, Solutum never uses it in battle usually when someone consumes his blood it is accidental. [/spoiler]

Weaknesses:
Spoiler (Click to Show)
in itself, wherever he goes he is cursed. No universe can accept his existence for he was made beyond them all, a being unfit to exist. Due to this natural disaster will strike around Solutum if he exerts his power too much, the danger will not extend to any opponent thanks to the effects being aimed at Solutum alone. This leaves Solutum with limited options when in a fight, and due to the mental blocks he has installed in himself he cannot access his full power when in a universe. Solutum will never be able to unleash his full power within a universe. Even when outside of all existence Solutum cannot do much, most things he creates such as a miniature universe of his own will be unmade for nothing was meant to exist outside of existence and he can not interfer with any universe from the outside.

Solutum's daggers though able to change to any material are vulnerable when they are in-between the alchemy process i.e. when the atoms and bonds are being made and broken they are able to be easily destroyed and will take a considerable amount of time to regenerate to their original form. Solutum's armor has the same weakness when he attempts to use alchemy on it, due to its durability it can only be destroyed through immense force but if it is damaged while changing its atomic structure it will protect Solutum far less as it will have grown weak before it regenerates which takes even more time than Solutum’s daggers. Due to being in a human form Solutum is vulnerable to all forms of physical and magical attack. To perform any alchemy at all Solutum needs to concentrate meaning he can't be dodging attacks while attempting to change his daggers' or armor's composition or attempting any other alchemy. Additionally the more complex the material/transmutation the more concentration Solutum will need. [/spoiler]

Personality & Traits:
Spoiler (Click to Show)
who is considerate towards others, never rude or antagonizing. At times he can be depressing to be around due to his somber mood, dark and mysterious bringing confusion and discomfort to others. Though this is not how he is most of the time, most of the time he is an intellectual always studying and looking into something's deepest workings, along with being a social butterfly eager to interact with and befriend most everyone. Friendship is a dear thing to Solutum which he regards as a great treasure, always willing to do anything for a friend in need. Solutum is also a very trusting and merciful person always willing to give a second chance but if his trust is betrayed again you will pay. A sense of humor is another thing Solutum has, always enjoying a good joke and quick to reply with another. On the battlefield Solutum is quick witted and competitive always seeing an opponent as a rival, someone to fight but in a way for fun and not out of hate. That's one thing he never expresses, hatred is a foreign concept to Solutum. Solutum though somber has a very optimistic outlook and believes in never giving up no matter how stacked the odds are or how hopeless a situation may seem.

Solutum loves to eat, he particularly enjoys meat, spicy food, and sweets. His thin frame betrays his immense hunger, able to chow down on a feast and still be eager for more! Solutum will often be found munching on a chocolate bar when he isn't interacting with people. One thing Solutum cannot stand, possibly the only thing he dislikes is sweet meat, bleh. Music is a favorite of Solutum's, he will most often listen to slow emotional music or something dark and deep. [/spoiler]

void of which surrounds us all an eternal concept and fact with nothing beyond. But within life flourishes, just as infinite and unending as the bleak void it centers. In this void lies a being, something beyond all else and yet it is part of it all. Stars, every single one looks like a star but within it is more magnificent than anything you could imagine. Solutum woke with a start, it was that dream again. The dream of home, the dream of his existence beyond all existence. Obviously Solutum knew what it meant, or at least he assumed what he knew it meant. Every night he dreamed of it, all existence comparing it to stars in the night sky. Surrounded by an infinite void of darkness yet they still shine bright, though their true magnificence is within. It was odd, he lived in that void and saw these ‘stars’ every day. He had seen stars slowly fade away and others born in a corona of pure life, every ingredient needed for a new universe. No matter how many universes ended there were always more, one of the infinite possibilities for that single universe. It was like that one saying of how a candle may go out but with that single candle you can light a thousand others and it’s life will live on. This was truly Solutum’s favorite quote, for it was one hundred percent correct!

Anyway enough of pondering something he already knew, it was a brand new day and the sun was shining in all its glory. Well, the sun he had made was shining. Even within this void of nothing Solutum was able to cultivate a few niceties but nothing comparable to the life that lived right next door. A plain little house is where Solutum lived when not in a universe, it was a nice place with avant- garde décor yet it was filled with simple pleasures. It was Solutum’s morning routine, wake up whenever he pleased, get dressed, have some breakfast… Ok a breakfast that would make an all you can eat buffet ban you for life, pack the necessities (a.k.a. couple dozen chocolate bars), and head off to his new favorite universe.

When you said detail, i was thinking just a bit more effort than the average person... Not an entire novel on a single subject... I don't cuss much, but damn, that's a lot of writing... When I get back on my computer I'll take the time to read all of it.

Can you make a small summary of what his powers are and what his weaknesses are.

Come on, my brain is telling me these exact words "I DON'T GET IT :(" (the sad face was meant so you would know that it is sad, not mad)
"Don't worry brain I don't get it either." I say while patting my forehead.

To put it in basic terms for powers Solutum can do fullmetal alchemist alchemy such as morphing nearby rock into shapes or something more advanced such as changing one material to another for example the metal of his daggers to some other material. Solutum also has knowledge of every variation of well all existence, from living outside of everything he has been able to study and observe it seeing the infinite variation of existence for example a universe where say Zeus is a queen instead of a king or has blond hair instead of brown hair. Basically meaning he has a lot of I knowledge. Solutum is also a capable fighter able to adapt after taking a few blows from his opponent and learning of their fighting style and the like, along with being quite durable which is enhanced by his armor. If his blood is ingested by a mortal being for some reason their senses will be dulled and they will become confused for a few seconds.

For weaknesses Solutum must concentrate to do his alchemy, if he is dodging blows he can't do any alchemy. When he does use his alchemy the environment will slowly turn against him the more he uses his alchemy such as lighting trying to strike him, wind off balancing him, that stuff. It takes a bit of time for his daggers and armor to finish their process of changing from one material to another so during that time they can be damaged or broken and will take a long time to regenerate leaving Solutum with reduced durability and or no weapons to fight with besides his fists. Being in a human form he isn't really immune to any type of damage least he adapt his armor to it.

That help any?

For some reason I can only read big, wordy things like these on my phone. Don't know why but I just seem to be more comfortable reading things this way...

Anyways this is about your gladie and wow that is a lot of words and detail about your character. It would've been much easier if you space out your paragraphs a little more so it wouldn't be too hard of the eyes as well as to place them into a spoiler so you don't intimidate other readers. The abilities were hard to understand, as well as the weaknesses but your post before helped a lot in clearing things up. Also the backstory for him was quite interesting; reminded me of one of my alter-egoes.

Still it's clear that you really thought a lot about this character and I wish you luck in whoever you fight!

You are most welcome and may I be of help in showing you how to create spoilers~?

I believe you simply have to type this [.spoiler=][./spoiler] between the words you wish to spoiler (without the periods of course)
And wallah~ magical spoilers~!
Don't worry, took me a while to figure it out XD
