Essence of theSpirit of Vengeance

You receive a scorching elixir made of roaring flames, tasting like the hottest of peppers, hot enough to make the devil scream in agony. Yet you feel no pain, only heat. The heat of…. divine…VENGEANCE!!!

• You become a Spirit of Vengeance, basically Heaven’s ‘Black Ops’ or rather enforcers of Divine Wrath. You still have your original physical form (if you had one) but your spirit/soul is that of blazing hellfire that can burn nearly anything. This means you can abandon your body and take over a new one, bonding and living alongside someone else or just conjure a new shell to utilize for yourself.

• As a Spirit of Vengeance, you are completely and utterly immortal. You can live for eternity and cannot be killed unless by an empyreal weapon forged by Heaven. The only other bypass is if someone with this same Essence were to kill you. Spiritual weapons/certain magical weapons can harm you but never kill you, at most slowing your regeneration.

• You are immune to many conditions such as infections. You're highly resistant to such conventions that apparently, reality warpers seem to give you no complications.

• You possess the ability to read the heart and souls of individuals you encounter and can determine whether they are innocent or guilty, and in need of punishment. Should you decide to have a human host then they can access this ability without needing to directly tap into your power.

• You can detect an individual's identity by simply looking at their souls. For other figures without souls, they can be detected by you sensing their ‘presence’ within creation.

• The Spirit of Vengeance’s main purpose is to cleanse sin. They can control and be empowered with the negativity released from the world. As such, you gain great power over the sins around you. You can tell, sense and smell what kind of sin or crime the individual committed whether it be a small sin such as petty theft or a great one like murdering a person or being cruel to a loved one. You can devour this sin to the point where an individual loses their humanity. But you can also be strengthened by the same negativity, no matter how big or small as well as negative emotions someone is currently feeling like misery and depression.

• You possess great mystical power, able to manipulate the fabric of magic itself and use any kind of mystic power whether benevolent or malevolent without any drawbacks or the usual requirements such as worshipping a pagan deity. You hold a great amount of magical energy within you that powers your abilities and wield it with great instinctive skill which allows you to do things like contact and raise the dead, induce dreams/nightmares, control the elements and summon/manipulate a Spirit of Vengeance’s signature hellfire.

• Hellfire is a mystical flame that can incinerate nearly anything, even supernatural entities/objects such as souls. You can project it as blasts, use it to form solid constructs, imbue it into objects to strengthen or alter them as well as telekinetically control anything infused with hellfire. Even things like controlling the weather and conjuring curses as well as plagues through your hellfire is possible.

• You can create clones of yourself using your mystical power. They will act just like you and will never betray you or ignore your commands. Upon dismissal or death, they will burst into a puff of hellfire.

• Your power over the elements extends far beyond earthly elements into the supernatural and cosmic ones as well.

• You can alter the size of your self or other things at will, making them any size you desire.

• You can travel to different dimensions at will through usage of your mystical powers. You are not limited to a single multiverse, your skill with this ability surpasses all of other Spirits. This can manifest as portals or teleportation as well as used to get to other places in the same world.

• Spirits of Vengeance can manipulate the very life-giving essence of each being. With this you can do a number of things like reading someone’s soul (as mentioned before), consume the souls of other entities to increase your power and become more intimidating as well as fully destroy souls whether from they are in a body or not.

• You can take on a ‘solid spirit’ form anytime you wish. This is a state where you can interact within the world without a physical body. While in this state you can access your full power without restraint, however your power is also unable to be concealed, making you a beacon to all around you. While you can make this ‘solid spirit’ state look almost any way you desire it will always be made out of hellfire though you can alter the color of the flames at will. Your clothing/armor is the only exception to the ‘hellfire’ theme.

• While in a physical shell or inhabiting a host, your power will be mostly restrained from your full boundless might but still retain great strength that can grow to epic levels as you draw on your concealed vigor. You or your host drawing on your power results in a terrifying transformation into a being of hellfire, only a skeleton remaining if your shell/host has one.

• Your lowered power generally includes the strength to casually throw cars, cranes and even toppling skyscrapers with casual effort. Your durability is exceptionally greater, able to tank attacks from beings that can destroy cities as well as break worlds. Your personal speed(running) is nothing to scoff at, though your reaction speed is greater as you can react to light speed attacks easily. Your regeneration is exceptional as long as you, the spirit remains, your physical form always regenerates. The only thing that can slow down your regeneration are spiritual weapons and even then, only the damage from genuine heavenly weapons of the Christian variety has noticeable effect. Note: This is your minimum while in a physical body.

• Usually seen as the ultimate ability of a Spirit of Vengeance, you also gain the ability to strike penance on your victims. It can be in the form of a physical attack such as a fist or a piece of weaponry. One of the most known penance abilities is the Penance Stare, a traumatizing ability where you lock your victim's eyes to yours and incapacitate them physically, mentally, and spiritually or just out right kill/destroy them. The penance stare replays all transgressions over and over and makes the victim feel the pain they have inflicted onto others, whether physical, spiritual or mental. Even people who enjoy pain will not be able to enjoy this torment. The stare can be focused on certain sins even on sins committed on a single day of the target’s life.

• The Penance stare has some requirements, however. Your target must have a soul, the target must be able to see, you must be able to lock on to a pair of eyes and in the case of multiple eyes you must lock on to at least one set. Though the effect will be diluted.

• Using it on hivemind/multi minded beings like Symbiotes and their hosts are ill-advised as it can backlash on you. However, people with multiple personalities are fine to target and only the personality that committed the sins will be affected.

• See-through material cannot block the Penance stare even if it is one sided. And it can bypass invulnerability as well as affect spirits, turning even them into ash.

• The Penance Stare searches deep into one’s being for all sins, even ‘indirect’ sins like corrupting someone to the point they commit sins themselves. The target will also feel the pain of the victims of the ones they corrupted.

• Even amnesia cannot protect someone from the Penance Stare, nor can the target not regretting their sins, enjoying them or ‘not seeing them as bad’ make one immune to the stare. Even if the target has good intentions, was on drugs, being dumb, insane with even certain heinous dark thoughts allowing you to use The Penance Stare on a target though remember that the graciousness of the sin is what decides just how powerful the stare will be unless you boost it with your own power.

• As a Spirit of Vengeance, you are a divine grandmaster of delivering vengeance upon your targets, becoming one with violence in all forms and having infinite potential for it. If you were to enter a world where the skill bar is raised to the point skilled fighters could cause magical effects with pure skill, it wouldn’t take you long to match them and even surpass them.

• Optionally, you may gain all the experience and skills of all Spirits of Vengeance (or similar being like Zarathos) before you. Yes, this includes riding/driving skills.

• Optionally, you may summon your own copy of the mounts of any Spirit of Vengeance that exists.

• A spirit of Vengeance is what you are now and that will never change unless you decide to give it up yet even then you can reclaim your former status instantly, it even coming back should you be destroyed before you can consciously reclaim it.

• Optionally, you may choose to receive any of the following people as your companions. You can pick as many as you want. The relationship between you and them is whatever you want it to be, and you can choose exactly how romantically and sexually experienced they are. This can be different for each of the characters, but they will all be irrevocably loyal to you.

• Any other character from the Marvel universe.

• Optionally, you may at any time choose to take a one-way trip into the world of Marvel, or a variation of it. This can be any alternate universe, like a fanfic or a universe made perfectly for yourself. You can either simply be dropped in or reincarnated into the body of an existing character or someone new.
