Summary

Can throw fluffy wamblers, beings several times smaller than human babies and over a dozen times lighter, with enough strength to decapitate Bronze Colossus, and kill even much stronger beings by throwing coins, teeth and dirt. Can carry a Bronze Colossus and swing it at enemies. Massively stronger than Dragons. Becomes 3 times stronger upon turning into a Vampire, gaining a futher 1.3x boost from being Animated Undead).

Speed: Transonic (Can run as fast as the fastest movement speed within the game, which includes a Peregrine Falcon's dive. Can run on water and magma, even when weighted down by equipment. Vampiric boosts would then allow him to run thrice as fast), with Hypersonic+ reaction and combat speeds (Can dodge explosions at point blank range, dodge whip strikes, 9 arrows and crossbow bolts launched from all angles at the same time at point blank range, enter the middle of an army of Angels and come out of the other end without being hit once and even see crossbow bolts frozen in mid air. Can dodge small objects thrown by those of comparable strength to itself, with such objects moving fast enough to pierce through meters of steel with ease. Vampirism grants a 3x speed boost)
Lifting Strength: At least Class G (Can lift a huge number of Forgotten Beasts composed of Slade, up to 8, each weighting 2200 tons, only not being able to carry more due to a lack of space to hold them, and can throw them a considerable distance away. With cages, an Adventurer may hold hundreds of these Beasts at once. Vampirism grants it a 3x boost to strength and Intelligent Undead physiology grants a futher 1.3x boost), likely Higher (Cages can hold an arbitrary number of animals inside of them, although the game cannot support more than hundreds at once)
Striking Strength: At least Large Building level, likely Higher
Durability: At least City Block level, likely Higher (Can fight against Adventures of similar strength, with their armor being capable of taking blows from Angels without damage. Can take a blast of Dragonfire with no damage. Vampirism increases durability by 3x and Intelligent Undead physiology grants an extra 3x boost on top of that), Regeneration, Immortality, unparallel stamina and will, and irregular physiology makes it nigh-impossible to kill or incapacitate
Stamina: Infinite (Does not tire and has no need for sleep, food, water and breathing. Does not age, and has no need for internal organs. Can keep on fighting after being decapitated, having its head destroyed, or with no limbs)
Range: Several Meters (Can be larger than a human can ever be and wield long ranged weapons such as spears, whips and scourges), Dozens of Meters with toxic clouds, vaporized acid, boiled blood and deadly dust, Kilometers with bows, crossbows, blowdarts, throwing, deadly spit and magic (Can shoot bows and crossbows farther than any human could, with 100% accurary and consistency. The farthest shot by a crossbow was 1871 meters. Can throw things even farther than he can shoot, including going outside of his field of vision, still with unparalled aim. Can use magic on something as long as it is within line of sight, or, in its case, range of detection), up to Hundreds of Kilometers with Enviromental Destruction (Can potentially affect an entire world with its Evil Biome, which covers an area the size of the United Kingdom)
Standard Equipment: All equipment possibly available in Dwarf Fortress, which notably includes Adamantine armor, and Adamantine weapons contained inside a backpack, as well as Divination Dice and Divine Metal Armor, all of the highest quality. Has an army of hundreds to thousands of Undead, Infected Ghouls and Intelligent Undead creatures available to it, as well as several Experiments, alongside an Unique Demon bound to itself
- Can Create/Summon: Can summon Bogeymen and Nightmares, and create Zombies, Intelligent Undead and Infected Ghouls.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Is a master of every single skill ever thought of, being, within Dwarf Fortress, the best engineer, medic, surgeon, chemist, astrologist, mathemathician, cook, fighter, leader, politician, liar, and more. Its skills far surpass the limits of humanity, being able to be performed with perfect consistency, accuracy and rate of success. Is the greatest fighter of its world, being capable of killing even the strongest monsters while using piles of vomit as its weapon. Uncovered the secrets of life and death, and has thousands of years of experience in life. Can tame evil demons who lead entire countries singlehandedly. Higher within a Martial Trance, where its fighting skills become tremendously stronger, allowing it to defeat beings such as itself with utter ease)
Standard Tactics: Varies, but due to its immense knowledge of combat and tactics, most likely the most effective moves needed to kill his enemies swiftly.
Weaknesses: As a Vampire, needs to drink blood, although can go indefinetly without it at the cost of getting a penalty to physical capacities. As a Intelligent Undead, its Accelerated Development is far weaker, as Physical Attributes are unable to be increased, although Mental Attributes and Skills are still affected. As a Werebeast, is weak to silver, though it does not impair its immortality or regeneration. Unable to feel anything due to its frozen Soul feelings, causing it to get distracted on the job sometimes, although it is still capable of forming relationships. Some magic may target random body parts, although with the luck curse and its unparalleled combat skill and predictions, such randomness does not seem to hinder it much. Overusing Divination Dice will cause the Deities to punish it by turning it into a critter, although it can be offset by bringing multiple dice. Adamantine weapons, despite making for amazing armor and edged tools, are not good at blunt force damage. Raising Intelligent Undead out of the enemies it killed will cause them to attack it instead, although this can be offset by turning them into regular undead, killing them and turning them into Intelligent Undead.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Observer: The skill denoting the character's ability to make observations and to think quickly. At superhuman levels, the skill increases the range of detection a character may have, increasing its field of vision and tuning all of its senses, to a point of being able to detect everything within kilometers of itself. In combat, it allows for precognitive levels of predictions, allowing characters to perfectly predict what enemy attacks are, including the methods, weapons/means and targets, giving the targets plently of opportunity to use the best counterattack possible. It also allows for characters to understand which parts of the enemy's body is most vulnerable to an attack, judging the difficulty of hitting it, how squarely it can hit, how slow it would be and more. Also allows for characters to see wide openings within other's defence, letting them see the best possible course of action within the immediate future.
- Syndrome: Syndromes are powerful defence ignoring effects delivered into characters via means of either disease, poison, acid or magic. Adventurers have many means of harnessing the power of Syndromes, such as coating their weapons in Syndrome inducing material, obtaining magic, or being an Experiment that utilizes powerful enviromental effects that deliver Syndromes into others. While some Syndrome effects, such as desert scorpion poison, are physical effects, even if exagerated and stronger than its real life counterparts, others are magical in nature, such as evil cloud dust or deadly dust powers. With its weapons coated in all Syndrome-inducing effects, any contact with the Adventurer's weapon can instantly kill someone without appropiate protections or resistances, leading to painful, paralysing full body necrosis that instantly turns the target into a slurry of meat and bones. Experiment powers are only slightly weaker, yet spread out across a far greater area, with powers such as toxic gas, vaporized acid, and deadly dust being capable of rotting the entire nervous system, creating blisters on all internal organs, shutting down internal organs, knocking enemies out, profound bleeding or instant death via breakdown of the brain. Magic is the weakest Syndrome-inducing method, but by far the one with the greatest range and precision, being delivered with only a thought at whoever is inside the Adventurer's range of sensing. Effects such as paralysis, rotting, and blisters are still instantly lethal, with the latter two having a chance to hit organs such as the heart, throat, lungs or brain, and other effects such as nausea, dizzyness and pain create ample opportunity to kill regardless.
- Necromancy: Upon uncovering the secrets of life and death, Adventurers become Necromancers. Magical and immortal, they wield the power to control souls, allowing them the power to raise the dead. Necromancers are capable of raising the dead with a thought as long as the corpses are within their range of detection (in this Adventurer's case, kilometers), and capable of raising nearly anything as long as it is dead. From plants and trees, to animals, to giant magical beasts, demons, angels, other Necromancers, individual body parts and even themselves, if their immortality goes beyond being unable to age. Necromancers are able to cause skin, severed heads, arms, fingers, eyes, tongues, hair and even lesser animal parts such as mussel's shells. If a corpse is beaten to such a level that one of its body parts is pulverized into gore, the corpse will be unable to be animated again as a normal undead, although it can still be raised as an Intelligent Undead, who can be resurrected as long as they have any solid center of mass. Undead who are killed, either by a combination of being cloven asunder or having their heads cut to pieces, can still be animated again, or turned into Intelligent Undead. This necromantic magic can be activated automatically thanks to Necromancers's ability to corrupt areas of the world into Evil Biome, which have a passive necromantic effect within its area that causes any dead into zombies under the Necromancer's will.
- Zombies: The standard Undead. Zombies are created when Necromancers animate a corpse and delete its soul from existence. This creates a mindless servant, who won't ever have its abilities lost or rusted, but can't learn or become stronger either. Zombies do not need to eat, drink or sleep, and cannot bleed out. They do not need their organs to function, ligaments to move or nerves to function, and thus many powers which control their biology are not effective. Their strength is increased by 1.3x while their durability is increased by over 3x. Speed is decreased to 60% of what it used to be. When animated by Evil Biome's reanimating powers, these boosts are far greater, allowing even those such as a Honey Badger to fight steel clad Dwarfs, who can fight Megabeasts such as Dragons. Zombies can be killed via decapitation, bisection, or smashing major body parts. While they can be reanimated in the former case, they cannot in the latter, requiring them to be turned into Intelligent Undead.
- Intelligent Undead: Undead who retain personalities. These are created when Necromancers do not erase a soul when animating, simply "freezing" it, which, although causes the Undead to be unable to feel emotions, stress or altered states of mind, does allow it to keep its personality, mind, learning capacities and relationships. Intelligent Undead are stronger than normal Undead, with an even greater gift of survavibility, surviving as long as any solid center of mass within them exists, which includes the likes of their hair or individual pieces of skin. As an Intelligent Undead Necromancer, if body parts or vital parts are severed, the Adventurer can animate them as Intelligent Undead itself, essencially negating the issue of being unable to regenerate body parts. Intelligent Undead are also gifted with magical powers given to them by the Gods themselves. This includes the powers to create blisters, rotting nerves, putting others to sleep, telekinesis, or even Necromancy themselves, casting into a group of zombies who can raise the dead themselves. Evil Weather is unable to turn others into Intelligent Undead.
- Infected Ghouls: Undead who turn others into Undead. These are created either by the Evil Weather within Evil Biomes, by the Necromancer using its magic on a living being, or via weapons coated with evil cloud dust. Regardless of the means, this always results in the target being immediately killed without the capacity of avoiding it. The target is then immediately twisted into a Thrall of the Necromancer, gaining a mix of bonuses from Zombies and Intelligent Undead, although they can still bleed out. Their strength and durability bonuses are the same as Zombies normally, but those created by Evil Weather are far stronger than even Zombies created by Evil Biomes, being able to turn even a normal, untrained Dwarf into someone capable of completely slaughtering a Fortress's militia singlehandedly, including their Heroes with Legendary skills. Infected Ghouls will also gain the ability to spread their Necromantic infection around through bites, which, if pierces skin, will instantly kill the being and corrupt them with their affliction. Evil Biome Ghouls are far more dangerous, as even their touch, coated with the dust that made them transform, can turn others into Ghouls as well.
Note: This profile assumes an Adventurer with the highest level of Legendary possibly achievable in all skills, the highest level in all Attributes, all equipment, weapons laced with all Syndromes, with all Immortal curses applied, their species being a necromantic experiment that gives them the racial features of all available races. This profile also does not take custom Syndrome Tokens into consideration, since even if they are already coded into the game, they are only used within mods.
