Complete Monster Cleanup

Found this on Vacancy

• Even Evil Has Standards: As much as the sadistic psychopath that he is, Mason appears to be genuinely saddened by the deaths of his friends, hence his rage towards Amy, though that could be because he can only relate to others like him.

Now, I've recently saw the movie and actually Mason looks a bit saddened by the killers'death though it's hard to tell if that's because he cared for them or he's frustrated that he lost his potential "actors" for his snuff movies.

Maybe you can judge better.

Gonna wait for somebody who has seen movie to comment.

On small note, I looked up on my writeup for Legends version of Agruss since I proposed Fanfic version of him today and noticed I misspelled name of the planet his facility is placed on as Kavado, when is actually Kadavo. So it should be corrected.

On sligthly bigger note, The Half-Titan Bloodline from which I proposed Belos has been uncanceled and chapter in which Belos is defeated was released yesterday. Would anybody mind me doing small update on his status and entry now or to wait two weeks for it?

Go for it.

Go ahead

So short story short, Belos engages army of Witches and Demons led by Luz and others with his own army of fleshy monsters and giant mecha he created. He briefly kills Luz by turning her into statue and trying to destroy her body in front of her family and friends before she return to life and brings Evelyn with her, after which he is beaten and Evelyn casts liquefy curse on him once again, this time killing him for good. Obviously no mitigating qualities poped up.

• The Half-Titan Bloodline: Belos returns and proves himself as depraved as ever. Once just Philip Wittebane, bigoted Witch Hunter, who killed his brother Caleb for falling in love with a witch after failing to kill his pregnant wife, Belos goes on to commit his canon crimes before being revived by his descendant Alethea. Belos sets out to restart his genocidal crusade against witchkind by blowing up the castle of the Boiling Isles government and killing the survivors. Belos faces Luz, gloating about planning to murder her wife and daughter and being completely uncaring when he almost kills a 9-year-old girl. Belos plots to steal Azura's Titan powers to match Luz's and complete his genocide, threatening the lives of her loved ones to lure her to him. After absorbing Enzo's powers instead, Belos kills Luz's mother Camila and has his resurrected brother captured to force him to watch Belos's victory. Destroying the entire neighborhood in the Bonesborough to reconstruct his castle, Belos plots to fuse his essence with the planet and blow it up, before returning to the human world to continue his crusade against everybody he considers a sinner. When Luz leads the army to defeat him, Belos unleashes fleshy creatures on them, briefly killing Luz by petrifying her and almost destroys her body in front of her loved ones while mocking them about impending destruction of their world.

Yes.

That last sentence the only difference?

Okay, following all my New Tricks' proposals, I've also gone back and do a few rewrites to my old writeups, as I felt they either were to narrative, missed key crimes, had some small inaccuracies or were just poorly written.

Present:

• Ricky Hanson, the series's only recurring antagonist and Jack Halford's Arch-Enemy, is a mid-tier London Gangster described by Jack as "the biggest thieving, murdering, lying piece of shyte I've ever laid eyes upon." Taking over the "Twenty-Fours" in the 80's, Hanson used them as a front for his drug ring. When Ray Harris told him that two student activists had infiltrated his group, Hanson personally murdered them, then had their bodies hidden under Harris's conservatory, incriminating him. By 1996, Jack and Sandra Pullman were investigating Hanson for three murders, including that of his own brother. Realizing they were getting too close, Hanson ran over Jack's wife Mary, laughing as he did; it took two years for Mary's wounds to kill her. When his son, Luke, was wrongly accused of arson, Ricky abandoned him to nine years in prison to save himself, and also stole Luke's girlfriend. In "Congratulations", Ricky confessed to Jack he killed Mary, tormenting him with the details of the event. In "Casualty", Ricky tried to slowly run Jack over but was forced to flee. Sneaking into Jack's hospital, Hanson assaulted the nurse then almost smothered Jack. Interrupted by Brian Lane, Hanson tried to strangle him. In "The Last Laugh", when the reinvestigation into the student's disappearance led back to him, Hanson set his goons on Gerry's informant.

• Ricky Hanson, the series' only recurring antagonist and Jack Halford’s Arch-Enemy, is a cunning yet cruel and thuggish London Gangster. Taking over the “20-4’s” in the ’80s, Hanson used them as a front for his drug ring. Tipped off that two student activists had infiltrated them, Hanson personally gutted both with a knife, forcing Sarah to watch him murder her boyfriend before killing her, sent his skinheads to beat their friend near to death, and then incriminated his source. In 1996, realising Jack was onto him for three murders, including his brother Jim’s, Hanson ran over Jack’s wife Mary laughing as he did; it took two years for her wounds to kill her. Following his teenage son, Luke, being wrongfully convicted Hanson ensured Luke took the fall to protect himself, leaving Luke to rot in prison and stole his girlfriend. In "Congratulations", Ricky confesses to Jack he killed Mary, tormenting him with the details of the event. In "Casualty", Ricky tries to slowly run Jack over but is forced to flee. Sneaking into the hospital Hanson disabled a nurse and then almost smothered Jack. Interrupted by Brian Lane, Hanson tried to strangle him. In "The Last Laugh" Hanson sets his goons on Gerry's informant, beating Polish senseless and threatening to burn him alive if Gerry didn’t return the money he won from Hanson.

• "Dark Chocolate": Alex Close was an immoral small-time businessman whose cleaning companies operated through exploiting and overworking illegal immigrants. Even viler in secret, Close was also a meticulous Serial Rapist who used his business's contracts to find victims. In 1992, he raped Jean Saunders at the chocolate factory where she worked, and then a few months later raped Eileen Harrison, permanently traumatizing her. Exposed for his abuse of illegal immigrants in 2001, Close fled the country to Poland. Returning nine years later, he started a new business, this time exploiting Polish immigrants, and immediately resumed his spree. Failing to get a bakery contract, the undeterred Close resorted to regularly going as a customer, until he knew the layout well enough to rape Helen Vestry.

• "Where There's Smoke": George Mackie was a talented and respected fire investigator who was privately a serial arsonist, claiming to having started 64 separate fires. He would place homemade firebombs in his targets, then turn up afterwards to analyze and bask in the praise he received for his "insight". In 1996, he burned the Union club to the ground, killing four people, including the club's owner, and causing seven hospitalizations. Shortly afterwards, Mackie retired and thus the fires stopped. UCOS's re-investigation into the Union fire inspiring him to come out of retirement, Mackie tracked down a survivor of the Union Club fire who had been left with third-degree burns over half his body and burned his home down. Later, he set another bomb in Stuart Russel's house, this one nearly killing him along with Jack, Brian and Gerry. Underneath all his charm and seeming helpfulness, Mackie was nothing more than a shameless Attention Whore, happy to commit wanton destruction and kill innocent people just to stroke his own ego.

Posing as a kind and friendly talent agent, Gisele manipulates poor parents into sending their children for a "photo shoot", only to kidnap them. Kidnapped children are stripped of their identities before being sold en masse for child pornography, sexual slavery, and prostitution, condemning them to a life of nightmares, with 10-15 sold at a time.

Proud of his actions and believing his victims to have deserved it due to being Muslim, Drago fled Yugoslavia to England, forcing his brother Yuri, who had abandoned the army after being unwilling to aid in the town slaughter, to give him a job there. Years went by until the day the circus stopped in a town where a woman whose children had been killed in the village now lived. When Yuri urged Drago to turn himself in, the latter instead stole Yuri's gun to murder the woman during a trapeze act, delaying pulling the trigger to savour her terror. Mercilessly executing a circus clown who had attempted to blackmail him, Drago next turns his sights on Yuri, intending to kill him for not aiding in slaughtering the village, referring to this as an act of justice.

Dermot, who may not be entirely human, has a special gift: He can sniff out dangerous monsters, allowing the police to swoop in and kill them before they can do any harm, thus preserving the masquerade. Dermot is no altruist, though, and demands a sinister price for working with the police: children. Each day, as payment for services rendered, Dermot is walked down to the cells beneath the police department and offered a chained-up child, a process Dermot has been through dozens or even hundreds of times. When the cops walk back in, Dermot is naked, the "tools" in his briefcase already cleaned of blood, and the child is gone—save for their bones. Despised by everyone he works with, and luxuriating in this reputation, Dermot is a horrible allegory for the industrialization of child abuse.

Posing as Rebecca, Ashley cruelly exploits her victim's relative, Mona's old doctor, suffering from dementia, pressing him for information, leading to his fatal overdose on medication. Ashley attempts to silence Rebecca by posing as a nurse and inducing life-threatening heart attacks in elderly hospital patients simply as a distraction before nearly smothering her classmate with a pillow, showing no remorse when caught in the act. Driven by pure arrogance and entitlement, Ashley shows no regard for human life and is willing to do anything to satisfy her deluded dreams of stardom.

He then met with a dwarven expedition sent into the Grey Mountains to proclaim his rule over the North and told the dwarves that they could either leave Erebor and the Iron Hills or would be destroyed . When the dwarves refused, Karazgar had the expedition camp attacked by his dragons, killing most of them and only called his army back because he had promissed them to return two more times.

When Riku's heart fights back from within to stop him from attempting to kill Kairi, Ansem uses his power to banish Riku's heart into the Dark Realm. Ultimately planning to open the Door of Darkness to let darkness consume all existence, Ansem shows nothing but glee towards his destructive ambitions. Returning after defeat as a specter within Riku's heart, Ansem attempts to play the boy's own emotions against him in order to take control of the boy's body once more, vicious to the end. Showcasing no redeeming features and played dead seriously against the manga's usually lighthearted and silly tone, Xehanort's Heartless would do whatever it took to gain ultimate knowledge and power, and to sate his undying hunger for darkness.
  • Kingdom Hearts II & 358/2 Days: Xemnas, the Nobody form of Xehanort and leader of Organization XIII, is portrayed as a cruel sociopath who rules his organization without care for any of its members, viewing his followers as weaklings who are only fit to serve his purposes. Looking to exploit the Keyblade's power to claim hearts, he allows Roxas and Xion to grow close, intending to then pit them against each other so he can judge which Keybearer would be more useful to his plans, even tampering with Xion's form, Mind Raping her and sending her to her death. When Axel is sent to look for the runaway Roxas, Xemnas threatens to eliminate him if he doesn't bring Roxas back dead or alive. He later attacks the Radiant Garden with hordes of Heartless, almost getting Goofy critically injured in the process, just so Sora and King Mickey can slay them all and give him enough hearts to complete his own Kingdom Hearts. When Ansem the Wise and Mickey try to stop his plans at his castle, Xemnas orders his Nobodies to kill them, and proceeds to overtake the Great Heart from within in an attempt to reduce all of existence to nothingness and destroy all those in his way. Cold-blooded, pitiless, and lacking his game counterpart's Tragic Villain qualities, Xemnas continuously shows himself to be more monstrous than any other Nobody solely because he thinks it in his best interest to be so.

So it’s come to my attention that there is indeed a KH 3 manga by the same author. And it’s still ongoing

And Birth by Sleep is canon

Meaning these two are preety similar to their canon counterparts (especially Ansem) so uhhh, wouldn’t this be ground to disqualify them? Because there is no way the manga will straight up change the ending

I don’t know anything about Kingdom Hearts, but if the manga’s ongoing I say wait and see

Anyway, Looking at Monster.Whoniverse one struck me as unnecessarily long, mind if I try to trim it?

• Current writeup "The Power of Kroll": Thawn is the head of a methane refinery on a satellite to which the native population have already been relocated by human settlers. Thawn's desire to see the operation expand results in him planning genocide against the native Swampies so he can expand onto their settlement. To this end, he pays a gunrunner to supply them with faulty weapons, so they're not actually a threat but he can use the weapons as an excuse to slaughter them and then claim self-defense. When his plans get disrupted by the arrival of swamp monster Kroll, he laughs in delight as Kroll attacks the Swampies village openly hoping it might wipe them out, a moment that leaves his entire crew staring in disgust. He then decides to take advantage of the situation by launching a bombardment against Kroll, while also wiping out the Swampies as "collateral damage". Openly expressing his contempt for them, Thawn regularly talks about the Swampies as though they're mere animals, outright stating that his Swampie servant doesn't count as a person. When one of his crew objects and tries to stop the bombardment, Thawn, without a moment's hesitation, shoots him In the Back. Despite his overall low standing, by being willing to wipe out an entire race out of irrational hatred and the prospect of commercial gain, Thrawn managed to sink to a depth of depravity matched by few.

Good with the Thawn rewrite, I'm fine with keeping Ansem and Xemnas for the time being.

Rewrite of Emperor Belos, villains New Tricks and Thawn . Great job guys!

I myself have 3 long-standing options. First, Tzekel-Kan. The recording is very good, but it reads somehow strangely. It’s as if different parts of his crimes were collected by chance. The recording is again very good, I just think you just need to poke it. Second Doctor. The entry describes his biography rather than his crimes, and it is not immediately clear what his classification is. Third Remy Duval. Part of the recording is rather devoted exclusively to the individual; I think they can be safely placed next to his crimes.

The Road to El Dorado:Tzekel-Kan is the power-hungry and sadistic High Priest of Eldorado, who fanatically practices human sacrifice despite the protests of his people. Mistaking Miguel and Tulio, who arrived in the city, for gods, Tzekel-Kan tries to sacrifice citizens for their favor, like a random innocent citizen or a sports team after a loss. When his plan to "cleanse" the city of non-believers fails and he learns that Miguel and Tulio are not gods, Kahn brings the Jaguar statue to life, sacrificing his most loyal servant before setting him on Tulio and Miguel, not caring that all the city and its inhabitants are in mortal danger. Defeated and miraculously surviving, Tzekel-Kan decides to lead Hernán Cortés and his army to his city, willing to allow him to massacre his entire people and destroy El Dorado, as evil revenge for his defeat.

Dragalia Lost "Dragalia Lost: Scars of the Syndicate":The Doctor is the main figure of The Syndicate, a group involved in shadowy fusion experiments. Raiding numerous villages to collect test subjects, the Doctor conducts disgusting experiments, merging people with real monsters. While attempting to merge Aldred with the dragon Barbatos, the Doctor calls him trash and brushes him off after failing. When Prince Euden refuses his offer of fusion and attempts to destroy it, the Doctor throws one of his manticores to slaughter, fully aware that the manticore in question is Alfred's sister. Having lured Euden and his group into a trap in a nearby village and fused with the demon, the Doctor attempts to viciously kill them all and even defeated, the Doctor gloats that his death will only further the Syndicate's goals.

Mafia III: Remy Duvall is a Blue Blood of New Bordeauxand the seemingly friendly and simple-minded host of the widely popular radio show "Native Son", promoting white values. In truth, the ferocious leader of the Southern Union and an ardent white supremacist, allied with the Marcano crime family. Duvall orders blacks beaten and killed and assists Marcano in their PCP operation. Duvall secretly sells blacks into slavery to rich whites, a crime that disgusts and horrifies even other bandits. After Lincoln Clay destroyed his operations, Duvall rallies his followers with the intention of sending Lincoln and his allies to Delray Hollow, intending to then burn it down completely, not caring about the countless deaths among innocent "white" citizens. Claiming to love and protect his city, but willing to harm and even kill white Christians if it benefits him, Duvall takes racism to horrific levels.

Rewrites

Am good with the rewrites of those three as well.

Okay, so after some issues on the proposal thread, I got suspicious and went back to look at this.

• Justice League: The Spider & Web of Cadmus (DC Animated Universe, specifically Justice League, & Ultimate Marvel, specifically Ultimate Spider-Man): Doctor Octopus is a revenge-seeking mass murderer who keeps his canon crimes but none of the redeeming qualities. Having travelled to the DCAU, Doc Ock begins his revenge on the Wall-Crawler. Building a machine called the Triskellon, Doc Ock uses it to find villains from other worlds after killing one of the scientists. To this end, Doc Ock teams up with Lex Luthor and hires a thief to steal one of the parts. Later contacting the Justice Lords, Doc Ock has them destroy the League while he kidnaps Supergirl and brutalizes her. Doc Ock then tosses Supergirl off the Brooklyn Bridge in her weakened state. Returning in the sequel, Doc Ock works for Amanda Waller, creating the clones Kaine and Galatea. Doc Ock manipulates Superboy to force Supergirl to love him before shooting him with a vial to brainwash him. Doc Ock then kills Amanda Waller, hijacking control of the clones with a code phrase only he can access. When Lex Luthor succeeds in becoming president, he and Doc Ock resume their alliance.

The EP states that:

I... do not feel very confident with that logic. I Ctrl F'd for "arms" and "tentacles" around the fic a little; it's mentioned several times that Ock genuinely cares for the tentacles as friends and grieves their loss (here, their "death scene", and here), and even in the sequel it's noted at the beginning of this chapter that he still misses his old set specifically for the fact that they were alive.

Also, that first chapter I linked to mentions the accident that bonded him to the arms also altered his mind. Admittedly, not sure whether that's to mean he was driven insane or that he merely mind melded with the tentacle AI, but it should have been included in the proposal.

Weird, but that seems redeeming, cut away!

Yeah, cut Otto.

Cut Otto, agreed that should've been mentioned.

Cut Ock.
