Bondrewd, the Lord of Dawn
Theme: The Rumble of Scientific Triumph.
The Abyss is a a great hole in the ground on an island in the middle of the ocean. Explorers found artifacts with otherworldly properties and a curse that afflicts anyone who tries to return to the surface after delving into it.
Bondrewd the Lord of Dawn became a Delver when the techniques of the time were stagnating. His ground breaking work ushered in a new era of progress for abyss exploration culminating in establishing a permanent base (Ido Front) in the 5th layer (12000~13000 meters below ground level) and the means to reach the previously thought to be inviolable 6th layer. At some point he turned his original body into Life Reverberating Stone and became a While Whistle.
Also he is a winner of the Gendo Ikari father of the year award.
Note: there is some WoG stuff used in this RT they all come from here, here, or here. I don't know how accurate the translations are but they are the best I could find.
Note 2: Generally if you are using Bondrewd on WWW you should specify which body he is getting (the Tailed Combat body is the one with the most feats followed by he welcome and greeting body) and if he is being supported by additional Umbra Hands.
Strength
Tears chunks out of a stone floor with his tail then clashes with a berserked Reg.
One of his bodies forces its way through a partial opening in a thick wall.
A non-combat body catches Reg's fist after it is launched at him.
Speed
Manages to keep up with Reg while ascending through a large column of falling water and ice.
Dodges Reg's Incinerator though it was mentioned that it is unlikely to hit him due to the warm up.
-
- But according to WoG this body isn't a combat body and was losing on purpose,
Bondrewd's losing on purpose (in order to complete Prushka). The body that's getting beaten up is just for receiving guests (not a combat type). The pink-masked one that let Bondrewd take over had way more equipment, so Riko and co. didn't stand a chance.
One of his combat bodies is described as being far faster than said greeting body too.
Durability
One of his gauntlets is destroyed by a small explosion though he is fine.
Didn't appear to be damaged after getting pelted by rocks from this blast.
-
According to WoG,
(Incinerator) Here, Reg, just before firing, decided to leave living things unharmed. Bondrewd also suggested that happened afterwards.
Artifacts
Origin-Guiding Light/Sparagmos
Sparagmos the Origin-Guiding Light is a beam of energy which possibly rewrites the laws of the abyss to disintegrate anything kind of like Reg's Incinerator.
Ascending to the Morning Star/Gangway
Gangway fires a beam of light that only damages the target the user focuses on.
Fires many beams which reflect all around the room before hitting the intended target.
According to WoG,
Gangway doesn't unleash force until its last landing spot so Nanachi didn't need to dodge.
Far Caress is less an artifact and more a native creature in a cylinder. It emits a tough elastic tendrels that can adhere to surfaces.
Appears to possibly be embedding in the ground and kicking up rocks. Also immobilizes Reg.
This shows how much volume it can put out and also more possibly embedding in the rock wall.
Shakers are needles that inflict the Curse of the Abyss on their target.
According to WoG
Shakers (Curse Needles) don't penetrate. They assimilate with flesh when they hit, and plant the curse onto the target. They leave no scars.
Zoaholic allows Bondrewd to imprint his consciousness onto others, transfer it between bodies. Bodies he isn't controlling directly are called Umbra Hands or Praying Hands. Umbra Hands have their own personality and can operate independently. The Umbra Hands themselves consist of skilled delvers and bounty hunters that willingly joined Bondrewd.
Takes over an Umbra Hand after the previous body he was controlling dies and Prushka recognizes him.
According to WoG,
The Praying Hands are sluggish because they're in auto-Bondrewd mode. They're working in parallel, so Bondrewd has access to all the information, but their movement ends up sluggish.
-
- This is after all of these Hands
- This one
- This one
- One that was escorting Nanachi and Riko
- And ~3 more that were sent to check on the power outage Reg caused all die.
- All of that totals to at a minimum of 20 active at the beginning.
Cartridges are kids that have had most of their organs surgically removed then they get stuffed into boxes and drugged up. The purpose of this is to shift the Curse of the Abyss onto them instead of Bondrewd when he is ascending. They eject when the kid dies or no longer is human for the purposes of the Curse.
Without cartridges he gets several extra fleshy bits due to the 6th layer's curse.
When ascending from the 6th layer with someone who loves him he will be affected by the "blessing of the Abyss" which
turns him into a furrycauses the the body to gain a more fluffy monstrous appearance. Starting with his hands, then feet, eventually effecting his entire body.- This from doesn't really have much in the way of notable feats as it is only achieved briefly.
