History YMMV / TheArknMythos

** [[SerialKiller The Hooks Killer]] is among the worst, particularly in the [[WebOriginal/TheArknMythosExtendedUniverse Extended Universe]] canon. He is a repulsive murderer whose crimes include torture and mutilation; rape--with a particular preference for [[WouldHurtAChild infants]]--and consuming the flesh of his victims; he's also been known to make [[GenuineHumanHide masks]] from the skin of his victims, in order to hide his own disfigured face. He has [[SoulFragment part of The Carver's soul]] in him--and uses the knowledge it bestows to become a "perfect killer", jumping between various timelines and eras and reinventing himself under a different identity in every reality to ensure that he will never get caught. His vast HistoricalRapSheet includes murdering over 100 people as TheDreaded, mysterious Wild West outlaw Barnabelt Kinnard; inflicting torments on an entire kingdom as the English monarch Comshine Orok; and eviscerating an entire religious cult, including his own pregnant sister--whose baby he [[EatsBabies devoured]]; said baby possibly his own--as Adam Spirit. He later becomes a PsychoForHire, assisting The Carver in his plans; during ''The Hooks Killer Documentary'', he cuts open a young filmmaker who has been making a documentary about Hooks and raises The Carver into his body--possibly while the original host is [[AndIMustScream still alive]]--allowing him to roam freely throughout .Reality. In one of his final onscreen appearances, Hooks confesses onscreen to having committed 643 murders--in one town--over the past 40 years. His final body count is suggested to be in the thousands.

** Elius'Exe'Deus, or Elias Exodus, aka Elliot Kenneth, is Asmodeus's teenage, sociopathic, power-hungry Nephilim son. As a child, he and his fellow Nephilim survived genocide by being hidden in a realm called the Hybrid Grounds; once left to his own devices, Elias wasted little time in slaughtering his fellows and absorbing their souls and powers. In 2015, as an amnesiac boy suffering from voices inside his head, Exodus has his powers re-awakened when one of the Dekn who saved him from the massacre, Vine, stops him from committing suicide; once his memories "return", Exodus reveals that he's been faking his amnesia and [[UngratefulBastard thanks Vine for saving him]] by absorbing his powers and trapping him inside a cube PrisonDimension--leaving him to [[AndIMustScream rot in the Hybrid Grounds for eternity]]. After departing from the Hybrid Grounds, Elias is intent on consuming both Arkn and Dekn to [[AGodAmI become a living god]]. He visits his uncle, Raphael Tobit Kestler, tortures him, and sends him to [[PsychologicalTormentZone the Vale of Nightmares]] before murdering Raph's twin brother Tobias, all the while gloating and laughing about having effectively driven his own race to near extinction.

*** His [[WebOriginal/TheArknverse Universe A]] incarnation, who may be a descendant of that continuity's original Kinnard, is, while seemingly confined to a single timeline, virtually identical in terms of his sadism, twisted nature, and love of atrocities--such that [[EvenEvilHasStandards the Carver himself]] refers to him as a "monster". This version of Hooks is also Carver's partner and is hinted to have given him a vessel in a similar manner. Not content with this extremely risky act--which, due to The Carver's Hethian power, causes a power surge in .Reality--he decides--just because [[ForTheEvulz he coukd]]--to go public about the Arkn and Dekn--setting off the [[RealityBreakingParadox May 15th Catastrophe]], which causes a system-wide crash that obliterates multiple timelines and countless lives. The last time he's seen onscreen, he guts Michael Knight, sending him to the Infernous to be tormented by the Carver, who then claims him as a vessel. Hooks may be a [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters mere human]], but he proves himself to be far more deplorable than most Arkn or Dekn.

* CompleteMonster: In a ForeverWar with a vast cast of morally-ambiguous characters, these two stand out as the absolute worst:
** The [[SerialKiller Hooks Killer]] is a repulsive psychopath with a passion for sickening atrocities and a PsychoForHire assisting De'ebo in his plans while committing countless murders solely for fun. A human with part of the Carver's soul within himself, Hooks uses his powers to become a "perfect killer", reincarnating as multiple criminals in different eras and timelines, with his actions including murdering over 100 people while an outlaw; becoming an utterly brutal medieval ruler; and eviscerating his own pregnant sister and devouring her child, which may or may not have been his own. Not satisfied with murder, Hooks also enjoys [[ImAHumanitarian consuming human flesh]] laced with fish hooks, and enjoyed rape, preferably on [[WouldHurtAChild infants]]. In order to give De'ebo a human vessel, Hooks murdered a young filmmaker who had been documenting his murders and mutilated Michael Knight, sending him to the Infernous to be tormented by his father. Despite his status as a [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters mere human]], Hooks proved himself to be much more deplorable than many Arkn or Dekn.
** Elius'Exe'Deus, or [[SmugSnake Elias Exodus]], is De'ebo's nephilim, [[TeensAreMonsters teenaged power-hungry]] great-grandnephew. As a [[EnfantTerrible child]], Exodus survived the attempted genocide of nephilim by being kept in a realm called the Hybrid Grounds with other nephilim, and in there, Exodus proceeded to slaughter his siblings for their energy. Resurfacing in 2015 as an amnesiac boy suffering from voices inside his head, Exodus had his powers awakened when one of the Dekn who had saved him from the massacre, Persophelus Vine, stopped him from committing suicide. With his memories back, Exodus absorbs Vine's powers and traps him inside a cube; [[UngratefulBastard despite everything he had done for him]], leaving him to rot in the Hybrid Grounds for eternity. Intending on consuming both Arkn and Dekn to [[AGodAmI become a living god]], Exodus leaves the Hybrid Grounds and visits his uncle, Raphael Tobit Kestler, sending him to The Vale of Nightmares, before murdering his twin brother, gloating on how crazy he was for having effectively driven his own race into near-extinction.

** The [[SerialKiller Hooks Killer]], particularly in the Extended Universe canon. He's a repulsive psychopath with a passion for sickening atrocities, and a PsychoForHire assisting The Carver in his plans while committing countless murders solely for fun. He has [[SoulFragment part of The Carver's soul]] in him, and uses the knowledge it bestows upon him to become a "perfect killer", reincarnating as multiple criminals (via The Debigrath Effect) across different eras and timelines. His many, ''many'' crimes include murdering over 100 people (as the WildWest outlaw Barnabelt Kinnard), reigning as an utterly brutal medieval king (as Comshine Orok), and eviscerating his own pregnant sister and [[EatsBabies devouring her child]] (as Adam Spirit); as an added twist, the infant in question ''may or may not have been his own child''. Not satisfied with murder, Hooks also enjoys [[ImAHumanitarian consuming human flesh]] and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape]] -- preferably on [[WouldHurtAChild infants]]. Oh, and in order to give The Carver a human vessel, Hooks murders a young filmmaker who has been documenting his murders.

*** In the Arknverse continuity, he is (at least hinted to be) responsible for the latter as well -- and caps it off by helping to set off the [[RealityBreakingParadox May 15th Catastrophe]](which causes .Reality to crash and multiple timelines to die) by telling humans about the Arkn and Dekn, for no reason other than [[ForTheEvulz he could]]. He later follows this up by mutilating Michael Knight, sending him to the Infernous to be tormented by The Carver (who then [[DemonicPossession claims him as a vessel]]). He [[AmbiguouslyHuman may be]] a [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters mere human]], but Hooks proves himself to be ''much'' more deplorable than most Arkn or Dekn.
** Elius'Exe'Deus, or [[SmugSnake Elias Exodus]], is Asmodeus's [[TeensAreMonsters teenaged]], [[TheSociopath sociopathic]], power-hungry Nephilim son. As a [[EnfantTerrible child]], Exodus survived the attempted genocide of the Nephilim by being kept in a realm called The Hybrid Grounds. While he was there, Exodus wasted little time in slaughtering his fellow Nephilim and [[YourSoulIsMine absorbing their souls and powers]]. In 2015, as an amnesiac boy suffering from voices inside his head, Exodus had his powers awakened when one of the Dekn who saved him from the massacre, Persophelus Vine, stopped him from committing suicide; once his memories "return", Exodus reveals that [[WoundedGazelleGambit he was faking amnesia]], and [[UngratefulBastard thanks Vine for saving him]] by absorbing his powers and [[AndIMustScream trapping him inside a cube prison]] -- leaving him to rot in The Hybrid Grounds for eternity. Intending on consuming both Arkn and Dekn to [[AGodAmI become a living god]], Exodus leaves The Hybrid Grounds; he visits his uncle, Raphael Tobit Kestler, tortures him, and sends him to The Vale of Nightmares before murdering Raph's twin brother Tobias (while gloating about how crazy he was for having effectively driven his own race into near-extinction). Even better? It's later revealed that Elias can hear the souls of those he's absorbed screaming inside of him -- and ''he enjoys it''.

* InternetBackdraft: [=TypeONegative=] and [=FeralWasteland=]'s decision to leave the Mythos in the fall of 2016 (due to what can charitably be called CreativeDifferences). The announcement resulted in a great deal of anger and harassment from fans -- some longtime viewers of their respective series who felt "cheated" out of a conclusion, others who blamed them for "killing the Arkn Mythos" (despite the fact that, at the time, there were still a number of creators producing content), and some who accused them of being "mean" to [=DeathlyLogic=] (due to some [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement less than complimentary statements]] the two made about their former co-creator). The harassment finally grew so bad that [=Type0Negative=] was forced to delete his Tumblr and create a new Facebook account. Finally, [=DeathlyLogic=] announced that he was going to scrap any remaining projects in the Arknthology and go ahead with the SpinOff franchise (which seemingly put an end to the harassment).

* CompleteMonster: In a ForeverWar with a vast cast of morally-ambiguous characters, these three stand out as the absolute worst:
** [[GodIsEvil De'ebo]], God of the Godless, is the [[TopGod original Hethe]] and the entity [[BigBad behind most of the tragedies throughout the franchise]]. Using his first creation, Hash'bor'kanibal, The Carver, as a vessel for his energy, De'ebo would go on to make the lives of both Arkn and Dekn a living hell. Destroying a large portion of humanity during a fight with Gilgamesh, De'ebo used his former lover's bones and agony to construct the Infernous, and sealed not only [[AbusiveParents his own son, Uriel]], but also his other lover in there, at the request of his manipulated daughter. Having been affiliated with The Watchers, De'ebo informed the Arkn Cabinet of their presence, resulting in the massacre of several innocent nephilim. With the help of the Hooks Killer, De'ebo gained a human vessel, and tortured his grandson, Ellpagg, in the Infernous. Encountering Azrael in the Infernous, De'ebo [[EyeScream gouges his eyes out]] and reveals his ultimate goal: [[OmnicidalManiac to kill every being in existence]]. [[DemonicPossession Possessing the body]] of his nephilim son Michael, De'ebo gives Azrael a brand which would burn his body whenever a Hethe came near him, and allowed Azrael to shoot him, killing Michael. A remorseless being with no empathy for anyone, not even his own offspring, De'ebo could only care about [[ForTheEvulz amusing himself with pain and chaos]].

* TroubledProduction: A number of vlogs and blogs set in the War Chronicles and the Winter Saga were delayed due to disagreements between the creators (namely, disputes regarding various plot points in the Arknthology and how various characters fit into it). Said disputes led to a great deal of infighting, which resulted in a number of creators leaving the Mythos -- and lead to a number of vlogs and blogs to be cancelled and/or deleted. In the end, [=DeathlyLogic=] and [=PesterJest=] decided to abandon any plot arcs tied to the Arknthology, cancel their remaining series, and begin work on the SpinOff ahead of schedule.

Their respective Arknthology series ([=acryfromwinter=] and [=MedBoy789=] were resurrected, along with ''The Knight Shift: End Times'', and several new episodes were produced for each series. The trio fell out again several months later, however, and their vlogs -- and the Arknthology -- were put on hold indefinitely.

Said disputes led to a great deal of infighting, which ultimately resulted in a number of creators leaving the Mythos -- and lead to a number of vlogs and blogs to be cancelled and/or deleted. In the end, [=DeathlyLogic=] and [=PesterJest=] decided to abandon any plot arcs tied to the Arknthology, cancel their remaining series, and begin work on the SpinOff ahead of schedule. (However, a number of series and stories within the Chronology and the Extended Universe are still in production.)

* InternetBackdraft: [=TypeONegative=] and [=FeralWasteland=]'s decision to leave the Mythos in the fall of 2016 (due to what can charitably be called CreativeDifferences). The announcement resulted in a great deal of anger and harassment from fans -- some longtime viewers of their respective series who felt "cheated" out of a conclusion, [[FanDumb others]] who blamed them for "killing the Arkn Mythod" (despite the fact that, at the time, there were still a number of creators producing content), and some who accused them of being "mean" to [=DeathlyLogic=] (due to some [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement less than complimentary statements]] the two made about their former co-creator). The harassment finally grew so bad that [=Type0Negative=] was forced to delete his Tumblr and create a new Facebook account.

** In a surprising turn of events, [=TypeONegative=] and [=FeralWasteland=] both reconciled with [=DeathlyLogic=] in 2017; their respective Arknthology series were resurrected -- along with ''The Knight Shift: End Times'' -- to give the Arknthology a proper sendoff, and the reboot/sequel was tweaked to take place in an AlternateUniverse.

* CompleteMonster: De'ebo. He's an EldritchAbomination who deliberately [[GodOfEvil creates]] an ''entire universe'' just to watch his creations suffer, die, and war against each other...just so he can destroy everything, re-create it, and make them suffer in ''all new ways''. Rather than tweak things from afar, he prefers a hands-on approach, actively stepping in to twist events to cause as much chaos, pain and suffering as he can firsthand (in addition to occasionally acting as torturer supreme in a {{Hell}} he didn't even create). He does this for no reason other than [[ItAmusedMe his own twisted amusement]]. [[spoiler: And did we mention he's done this ''countless times already?'']]
