— KumoMask |
KumoMask (クモマスク Kumomasuku) is a spider-themed Nocturne, a member of the Brotherhood of Nocturnes, a Nocturne from Universe-222 and an RP character conceptualized and used by Gallibon the Destroyer.
Personality[]
KumoMask is an amoral, insane, twisted and unstable spider-themed Nocturne, who is a cross between the stereotypical mad scientist and a vicious predator. He is incredibly intelligent, being able to create devices capable of making cyborgs, inventing many new weapons for the Brotherhood of Nocturnes, as well as some useful technology, however he also has a more carnivorous side to him; as he often goes around and preys on human civilians or animals, finding them delicious. In terms of combat, he prefers to sneak up and surprise his enemies, either by abducting them or assassination, however he has no qualms against hand-to-hand combat.
History[]
Backstory[]
KumoMask hails from someplace in Austria, where he was one of the earliest known evil Nocturnes, as well as one of the earliest members to join the Brotherhood of Nocturnes having joined early during the first wave. He spent a good deal making cyborgs down in his homeland Austria in private. He made some to serve as his own henchmen and used them for all their worth. Later on during his cyborg program, two members of the Brotherhood of Nocturnes came to work with him for a while. One day the cyborg machine stopped working though, to which HyenaMask volunteered to fix himself, only to end up as a cyborg himself. Eventually, due to unrelated events, his cyborg program was put to an end and KumoMask later went into hiding. He wouldn't appear again until the Brotherhood of Nocturnes rose up again.
Debut: Eight Legged Killer[]
KumoMask first appeared in RP where he sneaked into a hotel in San Jose and hid in a couple's room. As the man begin to enter sleep, KumoMask began to manifest in his shadowy form, crawling on his ceiling. As the man became a little more alert and looked up, he saw no one there. Figuring it was because of too many drinks, the tired man went back to sleep. His slumber didn't last long however as then KumoMask finally leaped onto the guy. Before the man can even scream, KumoMask plunged his venomous fangs onto his neck, pumping up venom from his fangs, paralyzing the man. KumoMask then took a chunk of a bite out of the man's neck, eating it and killing the man.
The woman who was sleeping with the man then instantly woke up and spotted the shadowy monster eating her boyfriend, so she leaped out of bed and tried to call for help; KumoMask then turned and shot a net-like web from his left hand, capturing the woman by her legs. Soon KumoMask reeled her towards him, before then biting into her neck, pumping up more venom, paralyzing her next. He then bit onto her head, gushing out blood and gore. KumoMask then went around inside and killed more tenants within the hotel, and the ones he didn't kill he simply wrapped them up in his webs, trapping them. Soon the extermination squad was sent in to deal with him. KumoMask managed to deal with most of them, eating out the heart of one and then killing a few others, however they managed to succeed in chasing him out of the hotel, but not before he set the place partially on fire. CobraMask sensed KumoMask's presence from afar and then sent out CatMask and HyenaMask to retrieve him.
KumoMask then explored the rest of San Jose and settled in an abandoned building, where eventually CatMask and HyenaMask met up with him. CatMask spoke to KumoMask, telling him about CobraMask and that he was requested to come back with them to the Brotherhood of Shadowbloods's main location. CatMask also re-introduced KumoMask to HyenaMask, who he recognized as the one Shadowblood he accidentally turned into a cyborg and thanked him, wanting to shake his hands, but found out that KumoMask's hands were covered in blood, so he couldn't at the time. KumoMask agreed to come, as he was the one with the "brains" as he called it, but first he wanted to cause some mayhem first, which CatMask and HyenaMask were fine with.
KumoMask reappeared in the city webbing up some civilians and the climbing up to the highest building (The 88) and began taunting them all, stating he was looking forward to either eating them or dropping them. However then Goju arrived, shortly followed up by FlamingoMask and Robo Lass. KumoMask fired out some webs at Goju, only for Goju's eye beams to melt the webs. CatMask then appeared to battle both Goju and Robo Lass, to which KumoMask and FlamingoMask then fought each other. KumoMask repeatedly punched at FlamingoMask, hitting FlamingoMask in the beak, to which FlamingoMask then fired his Flamingo Beam AND Goju's Atomic Fireballs against him, burning at KumoMask bad.
KumoMask shot out another webs, though this time it formed a net, capturing FlamingoMask. Once Goju got out of his net quickly, KumoMask then fired out Shadow Needles against Goju. KumoMask then fired his Shadow Needles at his captured victims just to spite Goju, Robo Lass and FlamingoMask but luckily then at that moment Goju size-changed to giant size and held out his hand to the victims, saving them. FlamingoMask then fired a barrage of Flamingo Orbs against KumoMask, causing out sparks to fly off of him. Goju, Robo Lass and FlamingoMask battled him some more, to which then FlamingoMask performed Flamingo Dive against him. KumoMask stayed on though and nearly bit his Venomous Fangs onto FlamingoMask, but FlamingoMask then wacked his Wrecking Flail at him, sending him off.
As KumoMask landed back down, he then retreated, turning into his shadow form and leaving. He along with HyenaMask then regrouped with CatMask and CatMask then teleported them to the Shadowland Cave, where CobraMask was awaiting KumoMask's return.
